The True Meaning of Money | ReWire 1722

Up to this point, I've had everything I've ever wanted in life.  

 

There's really not much I want or need now. 

 

But I had to start with the beginning. 

 

At first, I wanted money. 

 

I wanted money because I thought and society and media told me I wanted money. 

 

But as I got into everything, I learned really quickly, there are costs to money. 

 

When I started making money, I bought a fancy car, a big house, and then the second year, I bought a watch. 

 

I had already had everything I needed and wanted. 

 

When I started making milions, I hired people thinking I wanted a really big company. 

 

That came with its own set of headaches between more staff and more money. 

 

Here's a little math for you:  When I made $20M with my company and had 50 employees, I took home around $2M. 

 

When I had a company doing $3M, I took home a million. 

 

Put that in perspective. 

 

Almost the same money, but I didn't have my freedom. 

 

For 2 years, I traveled and worked speaking on stages, working 18 hour days , and being away from my family................

 

Thanks be to God because that 2 year period set me up for life...............

 

After going through the cycles of what's possible, I've come to realize what I value most......

 

It's time with my children and my wife. 

 

You see, money can be freedom, or not. 

 

But it's up to you what you really want...........

 

It's not a one-size-fits-all lifestyle.....

 

Make a decision about what freedom means to you.....

 

I bet it has nothing to do with money....

 

If you're smart, you'll figure it out.
