Summary
So you want to be wealthy and financially free in 3 years? It’s not an impossible dream, stranger things have happened, but there are a few things to consider and today’s episode is food for thought on if you know the money game well enough to build your wealth and get rich in 3 years. Tom is giving a masterclass on all the things he’s learned from building multiple multi-million dollar businesses over the years. He isn’t someone that’s rich because he came from a wealthy family.
Tom is the successful entrepreneur he is because he took some hard lumps from life alone the way of figuring out that digging in his sofa for enough change to put gas in his car wasn’t the way he wanted to live. In this episode Tom is joined by David, Noelle, and George, answering their questions about what it takes to build the kind of wealth most of us believe would be amazing. Tom doesn’t claim to be a money expert, but does say with confidence that he’s learned to get very good at making money.
The key to getting rich he’s learned is understanding that this is a money game, and you can’t win the game until you learn the rules.
So, when you say you want to be rich or you think about how awesome it would be to actually start building the kind of wealth that changes the way your future grandchildren will live, make sure you become a “die hard executor” and know your risk tolerance. What does ‘being rich’ or ‘wealthy’ mean to you?

| 0:00.0 | All right, so Tom, my question to you is, if I was starting from scratch, as in I had zero dollars, in your opinion, what will it take for me to get rich in three years? |
| 0:12.0 | Whoa, okay, getting rich in three years. That is a very aggressive timeline. The only way that you're going to get rich in three years, and we should probably define that, |
| 0:21.9 | I'll say seven figures or higher. Seem like a reasonable baseline. Okay, so the only way that you're |
| 0:29.1 | going to get that kind of wealth is, and I'm assuming that you're not able to invest something, |
| 0:34.0 | go buy something or something like that. So we're literally starting at scratch. So you're going to have to create a company, create something that generates a lot of value. |
| 0:43.4 | Typically, that's going to be a company. So you're going to create a company that meets a very |
| 0:48.7 | well-known need that has not yet been serviced by a product that is relatively easy to get across the finish line |
| 0:55.2 | and into the marketplace. It needs to be something that is going to resonate with social media, |
| 1:00.3 | and it needs to be something that doesn't cost a lot of money to get started. So either you're going to |
| 1:06.7 | layer on way better marketing. So if somebody has a solution to a well-known problem, |
| 1:11.3 | but they don't know how to market it, you can go and partner and say, hey, look, I understand |
| 1:14.4 | marketing. I'm going to be able to get this out there. Or if you have an information product that |
| 1:19.5 | can be associated with a known problem that you uniquely can solve, I happen to know a little |
| 1:24.7 | bit about your background. So if there's an element to working in the music industry, to becoming a professional singer, improving your voice, or something |
| 1:32.4 | like that that you really have a beat on that you know a lot of people are interested in, that you |
| 1:37.1 | could turn into a chorus, for instance, that people would really resonate with. That could be a |
| 1:42.6 | great one. The reason that I keep coming back to information products |
| 1:46.2 | is you're looking for something that doesn't cost money up front. If you're going to like take |
| 1:50.4 | Quest Nutrition, for instance, when we were building that, there was still a substantive amount of |
| 1:55.9 | investment that we had to make. Even just buying a bunch of protein powder was expensive, buying the liquid |
| 2:01.9 | fiber, you have to buy them in 55 gallon drums. So it's like there were still thousands of dollars |
| 2:07.2 | that we had to put in in the beginning. And so to find something that really takes little to no |
