29 Lessons, Part 3: Money, Meaning, and Mindset


What Wealth Really Means (It’s Not What You Think)

This is part 3 of our 29 lessons series. If you missed the previous parts, here's 1 and 2.

  1. A Dollar Saved: In the early stages of wealth-building, I found that saving money was more efficient than having to find additional ways to earn more money. Some easy wins helped me to build momentum, such as cutting out unnecessary expenses and reducing impulse purchases. Eventually, I got to a point where I wasn’t really able to save anything more, so I switched my focus towards increasing my income. If you are looking into a high yield savings account, I personally use So-Fi.
  2. Investing in Assets: If you really believe in a company and their products, you can become a part owner by purchasing their stock. For instance, instead of buying a new Apple iPhone every year or two, I would consider investing in the company’s stock. Over time, you will see your investment grow, and personally, I have found this to be much more valuable than having the latest phone.

  3. Being paid for your value: The more people you impact, the more valuable you become. It may not seem quite fair, but if you are able to find a way to positively affect as many people as possible with whatever you have to offer, you will be immensely rewarded for the value you are adding to the world.

Closing Thoughts

Remember - every dollar saved, every investment made, and every person impacted brings you closer to your financial goals. Start where you are, stay consistent, and watch your efforts compound over time.

How do you personally define wealth - I would love to hear from you!

Hey Reader, For years, I cleaned office buildings every night. Not exactly glamorous. But during those long hours, I was fueling my ambition by listening to podcasts, books, and YouTube videos about money. I knew I needed to learn how to make it work for me so it would stop eluding me. Fast forward 5 years: I ended up being a guest on one of the podcasts that I had been listening to when I used to clean. What a surreal, full-circle moment. This whole experience made me realize something...

Read time: 1.5 min Hey Reader! Ever feel like your stuff is taking over your life? Yeah, me too. Did you know that we only use like 20% of our belongings 80% of the time?! It's wild! And of course, all that extra stuff just adds to the chaos. If you're craving a simpler, more chill vibe at home without having to toss everything you own, I've got some tips to share with you that have changed my life. These work even if you aren't about that minimalist life. Imagine: Walking into your home and...

Read time: 2 min ... Look, I get it. I've been exactly where you are right now. Staring at those view counts, wondering if all this effort is worth it. Maybe you're thinking "This just isn't working" or "I'm not cut out for this." I remember going through a 6-month stretch where every time I would post a video, I'd LOSE subscribers (see below). It made me not want to cut the camera on anymore. This was so discouraging, but I'm glad I hung in there! Let Me Share Something That Changed...
