Welcome to the Graham Cochran Show, where each week I help you create more money, margin,

and meaning in your life. I'm your host, of course, Graham Cochran. Let's get into it.

Most people think you have to save a million dollars before you can feel financially free.

But what if that's not true?

What if you could experience the same level of freedom right now without waiting decades

or even needing a seven-figure nest egg?

I want to show you today a simple way to think about money and

business that flipped everything for me. Once you understand this, you'll realize you might

already be closer to millionaire status than you think. So for the purposes of this episode,

we're going to use the term millionaire, and we're going to talk about having one million dollars in a nest egg I understand that being a millionaire is

no longer what it once was in terms of what a million dollars will buy you

today so if a million dollars is not your thing just bump up the number to

whatever your thing is and the concept will still apply, okay?

But for simplicity's sake, for math's sake,

and for the fact that most people, by definition,

are not millionaires already.

I think we can all agree that being a millionaire

is still something worth pursuing,

and the concept will work either way, okay?

So let's talk about what most people think

being a millionaire is. There's what most people think it is, what by definition it's supposed to be,

and then I'm going to give you a third option, door number three, that I think is even better.
