Most of times when people don't have the kind of money they want, they ignore looking at their

money. They don't look at their bank account. They don't measure. They're not counting how much they're

spending. And that is the exact behavior that keeps you poor and stuck.

How do you create an unshakable business? I cross $100 million in net worth by the age of 28.

Now I'm growing Acquisition.com into a billion dollar portfolio. In this podcast, I share the lessons I've learned
