I'm going to share with you all the rules of money that you can follow to get rich without

talent, luck, or having a freaking trust fund. And once you learn these rules and apply them,

you'll finally be able to stack cash. I'm going to tell you exactly what these rules are and how I

went from broke at 24 to a millionaire at 27 and then being worth over $100 million today.

Welcome to the Martel method. I went from rehab at 17 to building a

hundred million dollar empire and being a Wall Street Journal bestselling author. In this podcast,

I'll show you exactly how to build a life and business you don't grow to hate. My bestselling

book, Buy Back Your Time is out now. Grab a copy at buybackyourtime.com or at any of your preferred online retailers.

Rule number one, the 4% rule. To get rich, you need to have a number in mind that if you saved up

and you were able to live off of that, you would be able to live off the passive income. I know this

sounds fucking boring, but true rich means

freedom. Freedom means you don't have to work. I'm talking safe, simple, guaranteed,

no fucking around, a dollar amount that you live passively off that. Once you get there,

everything else is great. The 4% rule, super simple. You take the number you want to make per year. Let's say it's $100,000 and then you just divide it by 0.04. That'll give you the number you have to save so you can live off of that easily. Sounds crazy and like a lot of money, but it's not because if you invest your money and it compounds and grows and you start early, you can get to that place simply. So now that you've got your number, how much you need to save, how do you actually make that kind of money? Rule number two, master a high income skill. If you already knew how to make that kind of money, you'd be making that kind of money, which means you're gonna have to invest in yourself to develop a skill that the world values. That's why it's called high income skill,

meaning people are going to pay you a lot of money for your time to do that work. The best part

is, is that everybody has access to the same tools. The information's out there. It's just most

people pretend like they can't solve this problem. You don't have to spend 200 grand to go to

some fancy university to learn any of this. You can do it on your own.

So here's how you simplify it.

All high income skills can fall into one of four categories.

The first M is make means you're a creator, either edit videos,

you create websites, you create video scripts, you create things that other people value.
