🔆 3 Power Moves
.
I.
The Creation of Everything:
If you give it some thought, you'll realize that everything is created twice.
First in the mind and then in the external world. Everything you see around you, created by other people no more intelligent than you, starts as an abstract energy force before materializing in the outer world.
Two reasons why this is important:
1:
"A man without vision shall perish." - proverbs.
2:
At the beginning of any journey, nobody else can see your vision but you.
However, many will try to discourage you from pursuing that same vision [the gift] that manifested only within you, the dream they cannot see nor understand.
You're the vessel of a gift only you have, a gift destined to be seen by the world, and it can only happen if you dare to do what's necessary.
Ignore your gift, and it will hunt you down.
It will always be in the back of your head, which begs the question, what kind of pain do you prefer: the pain of regret or the pain of discipline?
.
Power Move #1: Have a vision, be faithful to it, nurture it, and protect it. Do so until your vision has grown strong and is crystal clear. Then, and only then, share your vision with the world so that it can expand beyond you. Let it take a life of its own.
.
II.
Nothing to Offer:
When you think you have nothing else to offer to yourself, your loved ones, your customers, and the world; there are two things of meaningful value left:
The truth
Yourself
The world has enough people trying to be someone else but themselves.
.
Power Move #2: Stop lying to yourself and others. Stop hiding. Take a close look in the mirror and realize that owning your truth is what the world needs all along.
.
III.
Two Paths in Life:
There are only two paths in life: yours or the path others choose for you.
.
Power Move #3: Decide and never look back. We both know that if you want to be free, there is only one path to take. Choose. Create.

Personal freedom is the by-product of unlocking 3 doors every day:

II. Power, Value, Leverage Equation:
Power unlocked + value provided over time = leverage expansion.
The more power you unlock daily and the more consistent value you create over time, the more leverage you'll have.

How To Make A Billion Dollars:
You don't.
Most people think that to become a billionaire, they must earn over $1,000,000,000, but the truth is, no billionaire has become a billionaire by making a billion dollars.
They own assets that create value over time and eventually are worth over $1B.
For that, you need power, value, and leverage working synergetically.
Many factors go into calculating a business's value, but to clarify my point, let's keep this very simple by using only one factor: multiples.
Say your business generates $1 million in the first year.
On average, depending on the type of business and industry, to determine the value of a company, we can multiply its yearly cash flow by a multiple of 10.
$1 million x 10 = $10 million valuation.
What happens if the second year, your business generates $2 million?
$2 million x 10 = $20 million.
Based on that, your net worth is $20 million instead of $2 million.
Now, let's play with a number that's a bit bigger.
On the 5th anniversary of your company, it is making $100 million.
$100M x 10 = $1 billion.
The point is:
Do not focus on making a billion dollars.
Focus on growing or acquiring assets that produce cash flow that increases the value of your company or net worth, or like Peter Diamandis once said:
.Add
The best way to become a billionaire is to help a billion people.
You need leverage to help a billion people.
How?
Knock, knock.
Who is it?
The Internet.
