But I was just like, yeah, sure, I'll gamble it. But for some people, they do that with their entire livelihood. I think gambling, high-risk investments, I consider them gambling, should be made with a very small amount of the money that you have to play with. And I think otherwise, you should do your research, do your due diligence, make safe investments.

I don't think real estate is the greatest investment. primarily because the market's been flat. And I think that most people are buying overvalued properties with way too high of interest rates. And it just doesn't make any financial sense because you can't even rent for the mortgage right now at a lot of places.

And it just doesn't make any financial sense because you can't even rent for the mortgage right now at a lot of places.
So if I can't rent the place out to pay the mortgage, why would I invest in that property? But people think I buy real estate, I get wealth, and it's just not how it works all the time. You have to be savvy. So my advice to people on investing is research every possible opportunity. And then find the wins. Follow the wins. Not the wins from five years ago or 10 years ago. The current wins.

See where people that you know are winning. And if you don't know where people are winning yet, don't rush to put your money anywhere. Save it. But my personal philosophy is invest in myself and invest in businesses I believe in. Because if I can partner with somebody and I trust them to do the work and they have a proven track record, I want to give that guy my money.

Just the same reason people want to do business with me because I'm good at what I do. Or business with you because you're good at what you do. That's what my advice would be. Get good at something, invest in yourself, and keep scaling that thing that you're good at until you can't anymore, and then start thinking of where to park your money.

So I used to be anti-course, anti-program, anti-mentorship, all that stuff. I'm still somewhat anti-mentorship depending on, like, you really have to know that you can extract value and you know that person's real and you know that they have knowledge that you want. But lately, I'll buy any info product just to see what people are doing. I just want to know what makes their offer tick.

Why are they structuring it the way they're structuring it? Could they have done it better? Is there an opportunity to do it better? Is the character even real? Is the program valuable? Like those are reasons that I spend money.

And I think a lot of people, when they're looking for new skills, they do the thing where they get on the phone with a high ticket salesperson and get pressured into buying something. And it wasn't even the right fit for them, the right program. And I'm not saying that there is a right program, but knowledge is important.

And the more you learn about more things, the more conversations you can have. And I've said this to people that have paid me for, I have a $50,000 program. And it teaches you how to do lead gen, soup to nuts, 50 chapters. I mean, it's an in-depth thing. And for 5% of revenue, we'll coach you through it. It's a whole thing. There are people that do nothing after paying that money.

And there are people that go balls to the wall and crush it. And there are people that I taught this to for years for free that have been really successful. But I don't tell people to give me their last 50 grand. And people have tried and they're like, oh, my back's against the wall. I'll do better.
