There's only a handful of places you spend a lot of time.

You wanna invest in that.

Spending money on gear is the fastest, quickest way to get a return on your capital.

It's like being a roofer and manually nailing all the roof shingles to the roof when you could buy a nail gun and get like literally 10 times more productivity.

The other one is blueprints or playbooks.

Like I mentioned, paying for shortcuts instead of trial and error is a pro move.

All the richest people do this every day.

They pay for consultants.

They pay for mentorship.

They will pay anybody for an hour of their time.

I'm on Instagram all the time, messaging all of you or chatting with people or trying to find new people to follow.

And if I see somebody sharing something really cool, my go-to is, hey, what would an hour of your time cost?

Most of them look at my profile and go, well, I think it'd be a fun conversation.

How about free?

I'm like, sounds good to me.

Sometimes they'll go 30 grand.

Guess what?

For the right person, 30 grand for an hour of their time.

So I can learn everything that they've learned in the last 20 years is the best investment I can make to unblock an area of my life.

Another one is coaches and consultants.
