Stop trading hours for dollars

The Mathematics of Wealth

In partnership with

Hey friend,

Let’s talk about money.

Some people think money is the root of all evil. I think being broke is the root of a lot more evil. Money is just a tool. It allows you to extend your service far beyond your physical presence. It is stored energy.

There is a law governing this, just like gravity. It is called the Law of Compensation. It states that the amount of money you earn will always be in exact ratio to:

  1. The need for what you do.

  2. Your ability to do it.

  3. The difficulty of replacing you.

Notice that "how many hours you work" is not on that list.

Most of the world operates on the M1 Strategy. They trade time for money. It is a broken model because you run out of time. You have a ceiling. It is the saturation point.

Then there is M2, which is investing money to make money. Good, but you need money first.

The wealthy operate on M3. They multiply their time through the efforts of others and set up MSI (Multiple Sources of Income). They don't have one job; they have streams. They understand that you don't work for money; you make money work for you. You provide service, and money flows back as a reaction.

If you want more heat, you put more wood on the fire. You don’t beg the stove for heat. If you want more money, you provide more service. You improve your ability to do it. You become irreplaceable.

It is simple, but it isn’t easy. It requires a shift in identity. You have to see yourself as a wealth creator, not a wage earner.

The more you read these emails, the more success and abundance you will attract. You are aligning yourself with the Law of Compensation. You are waking up to the fact that you are a money magnet.

I’ve linked a breakdown of the MSI concept below. You will be grateful you clicked those links because it might just be the inspiration you need to start that side hustle or invest in that idea.

But knowing the laws isn't enough. You can't just meditate your way to a million dollars (though it helps). You need to move. You need Action. But not just any action—Action in the Certain Way.

We wrap this whole thing up tomorrow with the final piece of the puzzle: The Mastermind and Praxis.

For now, answer me this:

If you could create one stream of income that paid you while you slept, what would it be related to?

Hit reply.

To your prosperity,

P.S. Tomorrow involves a group of people and a radio tuner. It’s the grand finale.
