If you’re new here, I’m the auction guy you probably saw on Insta, YouTube or X. You may have downloaded my Auction Starter Guide with the lists of all the auction sites and tips on getting started.
Thanks for being here Reader. Let's get right into it.
You’ve read my stories about auctions, customer returns, $8M side hustles, and more.
I love sharing unconventional tactics for building wealth.
What has been the overarching strategy with these crazy businesses?
I think I found it.
I don’t want to be told what to do.
That’s been the driving force for most of my business life.
I don’t need FU money. I need LMA money.
Leave Me Alone Money is ideal.
It’s just enough wealth that you can do what you want:
- Create businesses that interest you.
- Build a fantastic life for your family.
- Buy exponential assets that kick off revenue and depreciation.
And one key aspect of LMA money:
It’s not so much money that it creates a crisis of complacency.
It’s kept me hungry, but not so hungry that I had to step back into doing something I didn’t find interesting.
When we needed more income, I had enough LMA revenue and assets to start a new business to solve that problem.
When I got bored with a business that no longer needed me, I could stop taking money out of it, replace myself, and start something new.
Leave Me Alone Money made that possible.
My decisions, planning, and systems have all been built around this LMA strategy.
Do you really need FU money? I don’t think so.
Do you want LMA Money?
Yes. Yes, you do.
So, how do you start to build LMA money?
Step one is not being complacent. Not being happy with the way things are.
Wait, not being happy? I know, that sounds crazy. Let me explain:
I don’t mean you should be unhappy with your great life, family, friends, or job. Here’s what I mean:
- You can do more.
- You can achieve more.
- There is more out there for you.
- Don’t settle.
You don’t have to quit your job, no matter what the anti-W2 gurus tell you. But you do have to carve out time.
That time could be early in the morning or late at night. I paid for $800K worth of educational costs with a business I started from 10 pm to Midnight at my kitchen table.
This is what I mean by being dissatisfied with the way things are. By being hungry for more, you will drive yourself to create LMA money.
Will you decide (more powerful than just wanting) to make the sacrifice to build something great?
I hope you will.
And if you do, I’ll be here for it. Share the details, shout it from the rooftops, respond to this email.
Let’s build together.
Cheers to your inevitable success!
