So, fast-laners, Ryan, Daniel Moran here, and today I have a challenge. Today I am going to do something

that I deem fairly difficult, and it is answer the question, how do I start my first business? In case you missed it,

there's a new feature over at the blog at freedomfastling.com and it's a place where you can ask

me a question and you can submit it to be answered up here on the podcast. And if you just go to

Freedomfastlane.com, there's a banner on the right side.

Click on it.

It'll take you to a survey and allow you to submit a question for the podcast.

And today I'm going to be answering one that I get all the time.

I've gotten it all the time for eight years.

And it is how do I start my first business?

I feel like I've answered this question a hundred times, but today I'm going to attempt

to throw my unique spin on it so that it might offer a little bit of a different opinion, a different

perspective than you may be used to. Now, this is important for us to talk about because if you're

familiar with my wealth triad, there's basically three parts to the triad.

And the first part is how are you making your money apart from trading your hours for dollars?

So in other words, a business or some sort of cash stream, an income stream that is not directly tied to the amount of hours that you're

putting in. So it can be something, it can be a business like I have where you sell products on

Amazon or it can be a business where you're an infomerator, it can be a business where

a brick and mortar business that's automated and systemized.

It can be flipping houses.

It can be anything that is not trading your hours for dollars, but is separated from the amount of hours that you would normally spend.

That's the first part of the triad.
