What is the big announcement about the Millionaire Mission paperback release?

Brian Preston 0:06
Hey, hey, we got a big announcement and it might have something to do with a little millionaire mission.
Bo Hanson 0:13
I am so excited because this has been something that has been working in the background. It's been happening. It's been going on, but we couldn't talk about it. Couldn't talk about it. Couldn't talk about it. And finally... Here we are, where now we can talk about it.
Brian Preston 0:28
Yeah, and just for catching anybody out there who's new to the channel, I released my first book, Millionaire Mission. It was on May 28th of 2024. And it was a project, a passion project that kicked off. In 2020 that I started, I used the pandemic and all the extra time to kind of actually do the bucket list of writing a book. A lot of insecurity. You guys have no idea. When you write a book, you don't know if anybody's going to read it. And then the fact that I wrote a financial book with a bunch of personal stories in it, I got really insecure. I was like, is this thing going to do well? And I'm happy to report that. You guys showed up in droves. It became an instant New York Times bestseller. You loved the stories.
Brian Preston 1:15
I still read the comments on Amazon and the other book-selling websites. But there are things that... Because if you've ever written a book, for the handful of you out there who have done it, the book is never, ever done. But they eventually just rip it out of your hands and say, okay, we're going to go take this to publish. So as the book came out, there were things... that I just was like, we can do better. And I feel like it's not perfection, but it's the best version of itself is about to come out to you in paperback version.
Bo Hanson 1:51
You said something a second ago. You said, in 2024, I wrote my first book. We're getting some comments on that. That suggests, like first is like a sequencing word. I just want to make sure this wasn't like a double announcement.
Brian Preston 2:06
Just in case my publisher Matt's out there. I have not written a second book yet.
Bo Hanson 2:10
You see these words he keeps using? First? Yet? It's almost like this thing is writing itself.
Brian Preston 2:16
I've told you, I do daydream. I would love to write a book with Bo. That's something we've daydreamed about. I should probably whisper that, or at least we should probably figure that out before we say that to the world. But it's just hard. I mean, because, you know, coming up with a concept and then actually having enough meat to where you feel like you're adding value to the world. But we felt like let's give you some flavor. I love this slide because, by the way, if you want to know what type of leader you are, Come work at Abound Wealth and Money Guy Show, where it's almost like, because we have a good time here. I think you can sense what comes on air is what happens behind the scenes. And they decide, you know what, the first stat we'll do is we're going to show how good decision makers are.
Brian Preston 3:03
our clients are for the firm. That's what we wanted to let you know. So Bo, set up this slide and then I'll kind of say where I fit into this.
Bo Hanson 3:11
So every year we ask our clients here at Abound Wealth, how long do you drive your cars? When it comes to consumption, what is... the ownership period that you have for cars, because generally speaking, if you own a car for longer, that would suggest that you are more of a financial mutant. If you own a car for less time, we know that automobiles can be financial napalm, that would suggest you're less of a financial mutant. And so we asked this question, and 83% of our clients, so over eight out of 10 of our clients, say that when they buy a car, they actually drive it, they own it for more than seven years. 83% said seven years. 14% of our clients said, hey, I actually don't quite make it to the seven-year mark.
Bo Hanson 3:53
I own my cars for less than seven years. 1% said this is not applicable. I'm assuming they live in some sort of city. Maybe they don't own a car yet or something like that. But there were 2% of respondents that answered, I lease my cars.
Brian Preston 4:08
Now, look, so seven-plus years, that's a financial mutant. Under seven years, that's a typical American.
