millions of dollars it's one of the biggest things people struggle with I think I had this Burning Desire inside of me from a young boy but every time I was told no I continued to push through and the more people that talk [ __ ] about me the more that made me even like like it gets me emotional even thinking about it because I was one of them that like you count me out I'm going to do it Point Blank period and so I just kept going and going and going and I never in a

fail before they even get open meaning theyve got half a million dollars to open this gym they want to go come to me and spend three four or 500,000 on equipment I say whoa they went into the high dollar District like we're at right now and they say their rents $338,000 a month for a gym they have no money in the bank to back them they're setting themselves up for failure from the very getb go before they even open so I always tell them I sit down with them and I say okay what budget are

we working with what is your rent what is your payroll are you going to put in the hours or you trying to pwn it off and pay somebody 100 Grand a year if you're not willing to put in work it is no business is a get-rich quick Point Blank period so I always tell people I'm like if you want to put in the work you can make it but you got to be able to [ __ ] sleep at the business I appreciate you my friend you got amazing advice pleasure all right you guys Miami

to see you as well what industry did you decide to pursue a career in I started in direct sales and contact management and Lead distribution are you a business owner yes I am how long have you been an entrepreneur for uh 25 years throughout your career what has been the most amount of money that you've ever made in a single year in business I've done over $2 billion $2 billion 2 billion what's your secret to selling in a competitive industry well everyone knows McDonald's why is McDonald's successful because they have a systematic approach to their

business and number two the system's so good that the 15-year-old can run the business I created that with digital products I have a system that's so watertight with contact management lead distribution and LMS no matter what product or service I put in I just win it's the system you have to have a system if you want to win don't there a formula yeah you got to you got to have a system I'm a Master System Creator and I know like right now I just launched another business guess what we launched it back in November boom

it's like this on quiet the system what is the best financial decision somebody can make in today's world number one find a vehicle to make lots of money that's called earned income number two don't spend your earned income invest it in assets but everyone goes okay I've heard this 100 times what do I do where do I put my first 10 grand 20 grand what do I do to compound cash you got to get an S&P ETF the S&P is outproduced everything over the years for example this year it's already up 177% that means if

you had 100 Grand you're already up 177,000 you put 500 1,000 250 whatever you can afford every single month you put it into an S&P ETF and let it grow and work your back assass off in your vehicle and your business number three once you get to a certain point you have money compounding start investing in multifam you know one thing I did when I was broke I needed my rent paid for so I went and bought a ax the bank will lend you because you're not it's not a personal residence they want to see

cash flow does those eight residential units pay the debt load the answer is yes so therefore those seven people paid the debt load I got it for free I was able to increase the value sell it and double the money and when your passive residual income kicks off what you want as far as your goals dreams now you can start spending your money on Lambos and houses and porch towers and all the fun stuff I don't spend earned income whether I work or not sitting here with this guy I'm making money right now standing here

that's what you got to be doing all right you guys my guy Anthony just dropped a billion dollars worth of game for you guys but I've got another special surprise for you we were about to go interview Miami Legend Eric spafford on his Yacht for those of you who don't know Eric sold a company for over $1 million and he wants to drop $100 million worth of game for you guys so we're going to head there right now come with us let's go see what Eric has is say yo yo what's going on my friend

what's going on man how you doing man this is fire this is crazy man up sweet let's [Music] go who am I here with today Eric spord baby rout your career what has been the most amount of money that you've ever made in a single year uh 2021 over $100 million $100 million and and what happened that year that you made over $100 million I sold my business for $15 million on December 21st 4 days Before Christmas 2021 that's a crazy Christmas present it was and what was your business it was the largest provider of

addiction treatment services in New England and why was that your vehicle like that's a niche business out of any business you could have been in how did you end up in that business I got sober and into recovery myself man I beat beat a drug habit beat alcoholism at 21 years old and found a passion for helping other people turned it into a business blew it out of the water where are we at right now Miami Florida Island guards Marina standing in front of my boat the bonus rounds this is your yacht that's my yacht

as a N9 figure entrepreneur what is the best financial decision that somebody can make in today's world get into Section 8 real estate right now the reason I say Section 8 real estate is that people live with the delusion that they need hundreds of thousands of dollars and a lot of expertise to become a real estate investor the beautiful thing about this asset class is our average price per property is under $100,000 and almost any ordinary average American can get into becoming a real estate investor in this asset class and it also produ es higher

than average cash onh returns because the federal government overpays on the rent to incentivize landlords to create more low-income housing because there is a shortage a a national crisis of not enough low-income housing for people that are at or below the poverty line and so if you're watching this and you're like I'm just a ordinary you know average American you know working middle class type person get out of the financial slave m mindset and instead of taking your earned income and spending it directly on your lifestyle reduce your lifestyle a little bit save your money

take your savings and put that savings into an appreciating cash flowing asset that is going to pay you every month to earn it and if you do that consistently enough they'll become a breaking point where you have enough money coming from your real estate assets to pay for your lifestyle and at that exact moment is when you will become financially free the amount of stress endure every day will go down substantially and you get to do this very very cool thing which happened for me a long time ago as a result of investing in real

estate I do things because I want to not because I have to most of you do things because you have to you know they don't teach that in school right they certainly do not yeah your last message to the younger generation like like give them the blueprint give them a 60-second business master class right now how can somebody become a multi-millionaire like yourself in today's world what does it take listen the first there's a couple core principles before I get to the business master class that the Young Generation really needs to embrace and embody because

if you miss this you will miss all of it drugs and alcohol are for losers if you do drugs and alcohol the chances of you ever being financially free or mentally financially successful are almost zero you want to be successful you want to live a life like this drugs and alcohol are not involved here's another important thing for you your circle matters more than you realize I see too many young people hanging out being cool hanging out with losers doing loser stuff if you want to be a winner you have to look around the people

around you and go and be honest with yourself are these my friends my boys people I love or are they actual winners why are you hanging out with them you must have somewhat of a cold-hearted ruthless nature to you and have your loyalty be to your future in how you surround yourself with your people I'm not telling you to tell those people to get out of here and never talk to them again and break up with them and and all that love them from a distance but Chase relationships with winners and successful people that are

like-minded that want the same things if you do those two things stay away from vices and hang out with people that are destined to be successful it is almost guaranteed that you will find a level of success thank you so much for your time sir I appreciate that so my guy Eric just came through again with the crazy interview at the Yacht but guys that's a wrap on today's video be sure to like And subscribe for amazing content we've got coming very very soon and as I mentioned earlier in the video our official entrepreneur Community
