| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Graham Cochran show where each week I help you create more money, margin, |
| 0:06.8 | and meaning in your life. I'm your host, of course, Graham Cochran. Let's get into it. |
| 0:16.8 | Here's the truth. Ninety-nine percent of college graduates walk across that stage with a diploma, but no real clue how to build financial freedom. |
| 0:26.6 | And honestly, it's not their fault. This is the design of the school system. Nobody's teaching this stuff. So today, I'm breaking down the seven essential things you must learn if you want to escape |
| 0:38.8 | the paycheck to paycheck grind, build real wealth, and live life on your terms. |
| 0:45.4 | So stick around because if you don't know these seven things, financial freedom will |
| 0:48.8 | always stay just out of reach. |
| 0:51.8 | Now, I don't know what you were taught growing up from your parents or your |
| 0:55.7 | community or your family or at your school. And I don't know if you're a high school graduate or a |
| 1:01.5 | college graduate or about to graduate. But what I know for sure is that in America and in most |
| 1:08.5 | countries, people do not teach money. They might teach some things that are |
| 1:15.1 | money topics, but they do not teach how to make, manage, and multiply money. And they certainly |
| 1:22.4 | don't teach how to become incredibly wealthy so that you are not ever stressed about money. You can buy whatever |
| 1:29.4 | you want, go wherever you want, do whatever you want, give to whatever cause you want in whatever |
| 1:34.6 | amount you want where you're not dictated to buy your money to live where you're supposed to live, |
| 1:40.0 | drive what you're supposed to drive, do what you're supposed to do, where you actually have |
| 1:43.6 | choice, which is real freedom. Usually we're limited by money, oftentimes doing things we don't |
| 1:51.5 | even like to do to make money, and it's still not enough. And we get stuck in this trap. |
| 1:56.8 | So this is something that's literally not covered anywhere. And I certainly wasn't taught this growing up. |
| 2:03.2 | And so let me know if this sounds familiar to you. |
| 2:05.5 | This is what I was taught growing up. |
| 2:07.7 | Number one, get an education if you want to be successful in life. |
