connect with people like Gary vaynerchuk Jordan Peterson Gabor mate David Sinclair Mark Manson Adam Grant and most of your favorite thought leaders today now here's the catch we don't buy the VIP ticket for the front row seat because you've probably heard these speakers share similar stuff online we get the VIP ticket because it grants you access to the private party after the event that's where business is done and where true networking is possible and where most of the business deals actually come together you're only a handful of people and it only takes two or three

of these events to build a foundation of contacts that can introduce you to everyone else if you're going to a business event get the ticket that gets you access to the private dinner or after party it's the biggest bang for buuck number nine better accountants here's the thing okay if there's one direct service that can earn its keep it's accountants or tax advisors if you're in the US a good accountant might cost two or three times as much as a mediocre one but it could save you 10 to 100 times the money accountants are The

Magicians of the financial world and it helps to know a spell or two remember you're under no obligation to pay more taxes than the bare minimum of what you're legally required to if you want to contribute more do it directly because the government seems to be a poor middleman number 10 coaching sessions now coaching sessions are when you pay someone to help you figure things out because well they've done it themselves a good performance coach increases your performance and performance directly Alters the bottom line you can expect to pay $500 per 1hour session or around

$5,000 per month to have access to an executive coach some of them talk more than they actually help but but there are a few out there who know what they're doing and can save you years and millions of dollars in trial and error coaches and mentors play a crucial role in every entrepreneur's Journey once they decide to take their growth seriously but most just can't afford it instead of paying $5,000 a month to have access to a single executive coach go to alux.com slapp right now because we pay the ridiculous fees of these coaches on

not underestimate the importance of gifts humans don't realize just how few birthdays we actually have in our lives just how few moments we get to spend surrounded by everyone that we care about but a great gift you'll remember that for the rest of your life so don't cheap out on gifts okay you are not the gift if you really love them give them something they'll remember number 12 travel you know know they say travel is one of the only things you can spend money on that makes you richer and that quote was actually the inspiration

for this entire piece we read it and well challenge accepted we bet that we could find plenty of other smart purchases and so we did travel does indeed build a different kind of wealth it creates memories and memories pay what we call a memory dividend travel early in your life when travel doesn't require that much money to begin with and before Comfort has spoiled you if you're in your early 20s spend that money you make on travel because it's the best Roi you'll get contrary to most of our long-term advice don't try to save money

when you're really young because statistically your income will Skyrocket in your 30s and 40s so sacrificing your 20s just to save a little bit of cash that gets chewed up by inflation anyway just isn't a great strategy the sooner you travel the more time you'll have to bank those memory dividends as you grow older your memory bank becomes a lot more important than your actual bank and some travel might only be available to you for a limited time okay so that clock is ticking number 13 another apartment you want to hear a controversial idea don't

spend your earned income work hard buy any kind of asset you can afford and spend the money that asset makes you instead you get rich when you buy things that make you money or increase in value over time you don't have to be a genius to get rich in real estate buy a studio a condo or a house and rent it out every month that piece of property will make you money that apartment might not allow you to live the life of your dreams but it will pay for your utilities forever so there's one less

thing to worry about we call that expense Arbitrage you make a list of all the expenses in your life and then you buy assets that will pay off those expenses on your behalf so as long as you don't dramatically improve your lifestyle at some point you'll have more than enough money coming in from your assets to cover all of your life's expenses that is when you're free number 14 equity in other people's businesses buying minority Stakes 20 to 40% of profitable businesses is a cheat Cod to life you don't buy it entirely because that would

mean you have to run the entire business and take care of everyone on the team but by buying a minority stake the business now has more than enough money to support its rapid growth use your knowledge and connections to open doors for them so that their growth will be exponential and then take a step back let them do the cooking not only will the company pay off dividends but you get to hang out with a great team and if you want to build cool things with them well get to work Partnerships are in a essential

part of growth so find yours and number 15 time with your kid now we've said this before and we'll say it again sometimes more money is just too expensive and some of the best things in life are not for sale it's easy to postpone things thinking you'll do them later but sometimes later Never Comes by the time you finally make up your mind it might be too late a pro tip is to have kids when you're almost ready think 60 to 70% ready lots of people who have kids late end up regretting that choice because

the Gap grows larger if you can hire an assistant or an executive to free up a couple of hours per week use those hours to spend time with your kids children are a unique opportunity to relive your own childhood this time with money resources and a little bit of wisdom we know this list could have even been longer so we're passing this off to you at this point what are some things that you can buy that will actually make you richer let us know in the comments we can't wait to see what you come up

with and did you know that fewer than 20% of the people watching our videos watch until the very end well for those of you who are still around we've got a secret bonus Rich versus wealthy because there's a difference between being rich and being wealthy rich is when you earn a lot of money by working wealthy is when you earn earn money in your sleep you know you're wealthy when if you stopped working today your fortune would still go up tomorrow that's one of the most important distinctions out there you want to be wealthy not

rich you get rich by making aggressive moves forward when you learn when you invest when you reinvest profits all of them are forward moving actions that will help you to earn more but life is a two-way street so every once in a while make some defensive moves take some chips off the table to secure your position let's say you've got a business that makes $1 million a year you can reinvest it in the business and get 30% more next year and 30% compounded the year after but if history has taught us anything it's that you

never know how things might change so sure reinvest some of that money to grow the business but Park some of that value in an uncorrelated Market think the S&P 500 ETFs real estate whatever floats your boat just don't literally buy a boat okay because those are terrible purchases you can consider yourself truly wealthy once your passive income matches or exceeds your active lifestyle so if you've learned this difference and have made it your priority to build wealth in your life write the word wealth in the comments that way we know who the 20% of you

are who are still watching we'll do our best to thank as many of you as possible thank you for spending some time with us today and subscribing to our channel that was really cool of you the best of our videos are in this playlist so pick your next watch carefully we'll see you back here tomorrow or later today in the app until then take care my friend
