But it'll be within our organization and it'll be, you know, an affiliate of who we're working with. And but long story short is, you know. The only way you're ever going to start to create wealth, which is why I love this Wake Up to Wealth podcast, is you've got to take action. You can't just read 100 books and jot down all these notes and talk about what you're going to do. You know what?

I just got in and did it. Just like you. You're like, idea, boom. How do we act on this idea? Let's make it happen. And you know what? There's going to be some failures.

So I've seen people invest with people and they just didn't do their due diligence. One guy recently just ran off with about twenty three million dollars and he'd been turned out. It was a policy scheme and he had a record and he was in one of our networks. And the guy that just didn't vet him, it's like, holy shit, you know, just do your homework. Make sure someone has a proven track record.

But anybody can start to have wealth, but you've got to put your money to work. A lot of people have this concept or idea of they start making money and pay my house off. I never pay my house off.
