Welcome to It's a Good Life with Brian Buffini, founder of America's largest business coaching company.

Here's a short, classic cut from one of our all-time favorite episodes.

Well, the top of the morning, Tia, and welcome to It's a Good Life.

Today, we have a very special guest on one of your favorite topics.

We're going to talk about money. We brought in a gentleman by the name of Brian Preston. Brian's the host of The Money Guy Show and is the author of the New York Times bestseller Millionaire Mission, which we'll be diving into today.

And what I really love about Brian,

just like the working by referral system, he's developed a nine-step system to building wealth

called the Financial Order of Operations. So Brian is a recovering CPA. I'm a recovering

accountant. So we are going to nerd out here today and you guys get to listen in. and really looking forward to talking a little money and a little systems here.

Brian Preston, welcome to the show.

Thanks for making time for us.

Brian, thanks so much for having me on.

And I think you just nailed it.

I mean, I think the public is so hungry for this information because it's the chicken or the egg.

They're often wondering, hey, is your system great because you sold a lot of it or is it great because it's the chicken or the egg. They're often wondering, hey, is your system

great because you sold a lot of it or is it great because it actually created fruits from

the system? And I always like to tell everybody on the intro, this system, I know it because it worked

for me. It's worked for my clients. And it's definitely the chicken came before the egg and the system does create fruit. You know, there's an awful lot of people with books out, right? I mean, I don't know what the number was last year. How many billions of books are out there. And there's a lot of people. They're on The Apprentice on Tuesday and they're writing their autobiography on Friday. And so the fact that you've been there, done that, brought people through it. And the dynamic that I love is a system. A system means that it's a set of disciplines, a set of routines, things you can set on automatic that can actually take you somewhere that you can't take yourself. And I'm really looking forward to dive in. I also love the role that mentors and influencers and other people play in our lives. I came across in a lot of your work, this Mr. Morrow. I'd love you to kind of

give us a little insight in Mr. Morrow and what did Mr. Morrow teach you? Well, it's one of those

things. I grew up in a household where my parents, great parents, lots of love, even very disciplined

parents, meaning my parents

didn't waste money, but they just didn't know how to make their money actually work for them.
