Ever wondered why some people are so wealthy while others struggle from paycheck to paycheck?

While writing my book, I dove deep into this question.

I sought answers beyond the obvious.

And I realised that what separates the wealthy from the poor isn't luck or talent…

It's our habits.

So if despite all your hard work, the needle on your financial success seems stuck…

Chances are it's one or two of these 8 bad habits that are keeping you poor.

Imagine getting to spend a whole week with a billionaire.

What would you ask them?

What secrets would you hope to learn?

That's exactly what happened to me back in 2014 when I got invited to spend an entire week with Richard Branson at his Swiss Chalet.

It opened the door to the life and lessons of a billionaire visionary.

This was a masterclass in living, thinking, and executing at a level most can only dream of.

It was truly transformative.

He distilled decades of business acumen, personal growth, and lifestyle design into 168 hours.

I learned about the habits, mindset, and strategies of a self-made billionaire.

And today I’m sharing them with you.

Here’s what I learned after spending 168 hours with Richard Branson.

Millionaires are CRAZY.

Myself included.

I should know because I’ve met over 1000+ millionaires.

And if you want to be one, then here’s what you need to know about HOW they think.

 Millionaires look crazy to normal people because they do things normal people wouldn’t And they’re willing to go change it.

Here’s why this matters: If you don’t see things differently…

You’ll never see the opportunity to improve it.

And if you act like everyone else…

You’ll have a life like everyone else.

I don’t want that for you.

That’s why in today’s episode, I’m sharing the 6 traits ALL millionaires have in common.

I was out for a run recently with my buddies, Dave and Coop and we were talking about the simplest business model.

No complex funnels.

So today I'm laying out the entire blueprint for you.

It's an untapped market sitting right under your nose.

You don't need a billboard to grab their attention…

You just need to walk up and say hello.

So go ahead and watch today’s episode where I break down exactly how I made millions on Instagram DMs.

Back in 2008, I had the opportunity to buy 10 defunct homes in Detroit thinking it was my golden ticket.

Only to wake up a year later to a nightmare of condemned properties.

I was convinced by this charismatic person that it was a good idea.

But I found out that I was liable and not only could lose my money, but also get sued by owners in the city for the upkeep.

So I quickly discarded those homes.

Here’s what I learned:

You should only invest in businesses based on what you know.

And for me, that's software.

I knew NOTHING about buying homes and putting them into a rental pool.

That’s why I want to share today’s episode where I reveal our ambitious plan to invest $100M in 2024 and how we're going to buy 12 companies in just 12 months.

In the investing world, insider information is everything.

It's the difference between making a smart decision or a costly mistake.

Launching a new business is no different.

I've seen too many bright-eyed entrepreneurs sit back and not take action because they can’t decide what business to start.

Most waste 5 years of their life in the wrong business…

Or they spend 5 years sitting on the sidelines.

So to help you avoid these mistakes I’ve cut through the clutter, and analyzed all industries, the gross margins, market demands – the full spectrum.

In today’s episode, I’m sharing 4 game-changing business opportunities you can start in 2024.

When I was in my mid-20s, I would stay up till two or three in the morning writing code and then sleep until my first meeting.

My whole day would just get ahead of me and I could never get caught up.

I always felt behind on everything I did.

Then I picked up some new habits and I realised as I read more books…

Every book talked about the power of the morning routine.

For the longest time, I wanted to ignore it because I was more of a night person.

I didn’t focus well in the morning and couldn’t concentrate.

But I knew if I wanted to make millions and build something meaningful...

I couldn’t start building at 10 am.

So I changed my habits.

And it changed my life.

It was hard in the beginning.

But now it feels second nature.

And that’s why in today’s episode, I want to pass these habits on to you and show you how that morning routine looks.

So you can implement them in your life to build momentum and crush your day.

This is my 8-step multimillion-dollar CEO morning routine

In 2008, I moved to San Francisco for one reason:

Learn how these 20-year-olds were building $1B companies

Little did I know, they looked at business in a completely different way.

I learned a TON.

Fast forward to today, and I'm 44 years old, living a life I could've only dreamed about.

I’ve invested in over 125 tech startups, bought 3 software companies, built and exited 3 companies, and I own one of the largest coaching organizations for software CEOs.

But this wouldn't have happened if I hadn't been exposed to how these CEOs operated.

I recently shared this journey at the 'All In Freedom Conference' in Dallas and would love to share it with you too.

After spending 100 hours with these 4 billionaires…

I discovered what REALLY sets billionaires apart from the average entrepreneur.

Each encounter was a unique lesson in business and life.

And while it’s easy to see their success…

You don't always see the struggles and strategies behind it.

But the biggest lesson I learned is that while their paths are diverse…

Their mindsets share striking similarities.

So how do you tap into the billionaire mindset so that more wealth and success flow your way?

That’s what I reveal in today’s episode, where I share the life-changing lessons I’ve learned from my billionaire mentors.

When it comes to scaling a business, most entrepreneurs are playing checkers, expecting to win at chess.

When my wife and I decided to start our family,

our lives went from being carefree cuddle bugs…

To starting two new companies…

Moving house twice in a two-year period…

And getting pregnant with our first child…

Only to find three months after giving birth, we were pregnant with the second one.

So to say that our life was hectic, would be an understatement.

It was a whirlwind.

But here’s the one thing we realized during this chaotic time:

The need for synchronization and communication within our family.

Without it, we found ourselves feeling disconnected and overwhelmed.

So we came together and decided to run our family how like a business.

Here’s how it worked out for us.

If you feel like you're constantly running but not moving forward…

 

Here’s why:

 

The problem isn't lack of time…

 

It's direction and energy.

 

When I first got started trying to build a business I wasn't disciplined like I am today.

 

I used to be the guy who would work a little bit, feel really good about myself, and then take a couple of hours off.

 

If I worked really well in the morning, I would take the rest of the day off.

 

I didn't have a strategy.

 

So after I started my company Spheric at age 24, I started reading books.

 

And it was a book called Getting Things Done by David Allen that changed EVERYTHING for me.

 

Now the way I work is completely different.

 

I have a place for all the crazy distractions that come into my world so I can be incredibly productive.

 

So in today's episode, I break down my 36-hour week as a multimillionaire in four steps to help you design your perfect week.

When I was building my company Spheric Technologies in 2003, my schedule was a MESS.

 

100-hour work weeks… Working until 2 a.m. and then back in meetings again at 7 a.m…

When I sold my first company Spheric in 2008, I was EVERY role.

I was the bookkeeper, chief engineer, project lead, and my own personal assistant.

I thought the more I worked, the more productive my business would be right?

But I was wrong.

And I learned the HARD way.

Because it took me 5 painful years of sweat and grind to hit an 8-figure exit.

And here’s the kicker…

All that hustle?

95% could've been someone else's job.

You can build a million-dollar company without grinding yourself into the ground...

I often meet founders stuck in this frame of mind.

They put a limit on what they think is possible because they’re scared.

Like my friend Rachel, who after reading my book, saw her revenue TRIPLE.

Yet despite her huge win she started to feel nervous about what would happen if the business kept growing…

Fearing it might become too overwhelming, she put a cap on her growth.

But in my world, building an empire shouldn't scare you...

It’s a life of unlimited creation. One that you never have to retire from.

Want that for yourself?

Keep listening.
