دانلود کتاب از نظر زمانی ثروتمند شوید – چگونه از مشغول بودن دست برداریم و ثروتمند شویم

As I sat on the edge of my beach chair, sipping my piña colada out of a plastic cup and watching the sun slowly set over the Caribbean Sea, with my wife, Alisha, sitting across from me absorbing the final rays from the Mexican sun, I looked down at my phone and opened my banking app. Another record month, I thought, mesmerized by the fact that we were making more income in a week than some people make in a year, all while sitting quietly on a beach in Cancun on a three‐week jaunt around North America. In that moment, it was difficult not to feel an overwhelming sense of gratitude and pride for all we’d achieved up to that point and the life we’d built for ourselves over the preceding ten years. In that time, we’d built, scaled, and were running the following:
• A highly profitable network marketing business (all online) with over 80 consultants globally
• An online education and coaching business that had just been recognized by Clickfunnels.com with a Two Comma Club award
• A successful events business that puts through 400+ students per year across four key events in Australia (so far)
• A company partnership that acquires small, largely automated traditional businesses
• A platform public‐speaking business that I run on the side when opportunities emerge throughout the year
• An actively managed, multiple seven‐figure equity portfolio that I personally manage
• An award‐winning podcast, Money Grows on Trees, that’s been dropping weekly episodes for three years and counting
• An online social media school
All while traveling to Fiji, Mexico, the United States, Thailand, and Bali. Not to mention the 35 annual family birthdays (we have a big joint family), business dinners, events to plan, health to look after, a new puppy at home, and the beginnings of starting a family. How was it possible to manage all of that and still have time to peacefully attack the piece of pineapple living at the bottom of my plastic cocktail cup on a beach in Cancun? It wasn’t magic, nor was it luck. It was the result of a decision made many years earlier to own our time and build a life that would not just grant us a predictable flow of money and financial independence but would also yield a predictable flow of free time to do whatever we want, with whomever we want, almost whenever we want. It seems ridiculous now to think that you could manage all of the things listed here without having a nervous breakdown, and there was a time in my life when I would have thought it impossible (and certainly unenjoyable) to even consider creating such a plateful. But there we were, Alisha and I, at peace on the beach, while under the hood of our various enterprises an array of products, people, partnerships, systems, and capital continued working in harmony to produce value for the world in a predictable manner. As I turned around to look back at the resort, I caught a glimpse of a hammock swaying steadily in the breeze, and I was reminded of the cover of Tim Ferriss’s The Four‐Hour Workweek, a book I’d picked up 12 years prior in a desperate attempt to drastically shift the trajectory of the life I’d found myself in. But that story takes me back to another exotic location, an island in the Persian Gulf, at a time when my life was very different than it is now.
