You cannot save your way to wealth.

You cannot save your way to freedom.

OK, if you do the math on money, this is why I tell people never get advice from a millionaire.

You cannot save your business.

You cannot save your brand.

The only way to save anything, true prosperity and affluence come from expansion and risk-taking, not from saving.

Because when you go from nothing to a million, the first thing you do is you go into conservation.

The millionaire becomes a scared person.

If you read the book, like I did, The Millionaire Next Door, when I finished reading that book, it was a super, super successful book.

The middle class is built on budgets.

It is built on adding and subtracting, and wealth is created with division and multiplication.

And it suggested that to become a millionaire, you need to not brew your own coffee, don't go to Starbucks, and you need to buy a used truck.

I love what you're saying.

You're basically saying like, don't worry so much about saving.

Worry about creating wealth and income generation.

Like get more income in.

When I got finished reading that book, I'm like, I am not going to be a millionaire.

Don't necessarily just penny pinch and think that's going to make you a millionaire.

I know this.

When you study the most successful people on this planet, they're not talking about where they brew their coffee at home.
