Today, we're talking about how to create not only financial freedom but also time
freedom. And emotional freedom. You see having become financially free at the
age of 26, I've really learned how to master all
3 of those areas. Today, I'm going to give you my biggest hacks on how not
just to have the money but how to have the time and how to have the happiness
that frankly we're all looking for.
You know there's not a lot of people searching for the information that I'm
going to be talking about today's video. But if they knew what I was going to
share, they would be searching for this. You know one of my mentors that paid a
million dollars to said, "Kris, the most dangerous information is what most
people don't know." And it's what you don't know. It's dangerous because it's
keeping you from making the progress that we're all hoping to have in life.
Today, I'm talking about freedom. And most of the time I'm talking about money
freedom, right? Financial freedom, financial freedom. But there are 2
other kind of freedoms that are even more important than the money freedom.
And I want to talk about all 3 of them today. In fact, I've kind of listed
them all here. And it starts with really this question of what is freedom. I mean,
freedom is something that we really value. Freedom is something that we all
claim that we want. But it's nebulous, it's abstract. And no one really knows
how to define it. Until we get specific. You know, I can tell you right now that
freedom as a whole means for me the ability to act and do the things that I
want to do. But you see then I'm restricted. I'm restricted by money. So
then, we have this conversation of financial freedom. And financial freedom
is this idea that says, I have enough money coming in residually that I no
longer need to work for money. The money just comes in no matter what. And so
that's a freedom that I think many people are associated with. In fact, you
might be a subscriber on this channel. Because you're hoping that all of my
experience and nearly a billion dollars of real estate will help you have more
financial freedom. And I think today's conversation is going to further that.
But to do that, we need to understand and explore the 2 other kind of freedoms
that are out there. And I've put them right here.
I believe that financial freedom is really important. I've been financially
free since the age of 26. That means that I've been able to travel
to 40 different countries. Drive any car I want. Live in any house I want. For the
last 14, 15 years, I've been living in mansions, these beautiful homes. And yet,
if financial freedom is the only kind of freedom that we pursue, I think we're
going to be missing something that is far more important in life. I want to
talk to you today about not just financial freedom but I want to talk
about this one right here. I want to talk about time and I want to talk about
emotions. You see, time freedom, it's like having money is great but the
do you have time? And do you know what comes first? If you're watching this
pursuing this is saying, "Kris, help me become more financially free. You did it
so early. You're doing it again every single day. You're doing millions of
dollars. You know an income every year in growth and net worth increase in cash
flow." Like, "Is it really all about the money?" And I would say, "Actually, the
freedom that you should be focusing on first is not a money freedom. You should
first be focusing on a time freedom. Time is a function of money. We all have 24
hours in the day. So, like... For example, for a moment, take a look at my
lifestyle. I work part-time. Right now I've got four children. My wife and I are
putting a lot of effort and energy into them. We travel a lot with them. We get on
planes, we see places. We are providing our children with a private education.
Not the public school system because we believe that we can do a superior job. I
don't think that's very hard with the public system that's out there. I went to
public school. And yet, the only way that I'm able to do that, it's not because I
have money. It's because I have time. And before you can get a money freedom, you
should all be striving for a time freedom. How do you get a time freedom?
Well first of all, you should be asking yourself, "How do I actually make more
money with less time? What is the time that I use that actually makes me money?
And what are the things I'm doing with my time that actually don't?" Like for
example, you should be striving to be an entrepreneur and a business owner. But a
business owner, not a business operator. You understand me? Like a business
operator is stuck in the day to day business just like having a J-O-B. A Just
Over Broke, Job. A business owner has actually a command of their time and has
other people running the business. You should be looking to get into business
because many jobs don't actually try to equip you with time freedom. It's the
opposite. They want to leverage you and they want to pay you for your time.
There's a time and a place for that. But if you want to get ahead of the game,
before there's financial freedom, you got to ask "How do I get more time freedom?"
What is a business? What is something you can do with your life where you can get
leverage? Leverage means... Like, for example, every day I have people getting my books
for free. And I've got to pay somebody to take my book and actually stuff it in
the mailer and print out the address label and get it to the post office. That
person is my daughter. She's turning 14 years old this next month. And I pay her
$0.35 for every book that she puts in the mail. So, when I say, "I
give you the book for free but you cover the shipping", part of that money that you
pay for shipping allows me to pay my daughter to actually stuff a bunch of
books and use her time that way. Once in a while she says, "Dad, I'm stressed.
I've got Taekwondo, I got school, I want to play with my friends. I can't get the
books out today." I said, "What would happen if you gave a nickel or a dime to your
younger brother younger sister and let them jump in and help?" It's great money
for them, right? They get a chance to make a quick 5 or $10 which if you were
remember when you were like 8 and 10 years old, that's like a serious amount
of money, right? And so all of a sudden, she's like, "Dad, I get to put in half the
time but I'm not giving away half the money." I'm like, "Honey, that's called
leverage." And when you're the owner of something,
you're creating now what's called a positive arbitrage. And you're getting
your time back. Time back, for you to have time freedom it's all about leverage. Now
by the way, many of you know if you're following on this channel that I love
the conversation of real estate investing. The very first home that I
bought, it paid me a cash-flow. Now, I lived in this home. I rented out the
basement and I got to live in it for free. I was living in a tiny hole in the
ground that I had to write a $400 a month check to. And this was like a
little 400 square foot hadn't been updated I think since probably like the
60s or 70s. When I moved to a house, I stopped paying $400 a month. Well, that
gave me some financial freedom. And then I said, "Well, I will get time freedom if I
can keep doing that." So, I went and said, "You know what? let's do it again." So I did
it a second time. I bought another house but I lived in this one for free. On this
house, when I rented it out, I had a cash flow of $600 a month. Now by the way, that
extra $600 a month meant that I didn't need to put an extra time on my job to
make an extra $600 a month. Not to mention the $400 a month I was saving.
$1,000 differential. I was out living in a house 3 bedrooms for free
making $600 there. There's 1,000-dollar difference. And that $1,000
meant that I didn't need to work for an extra $1,000 a month. I
liked it so much that I said, "Man, let's get 25 homes." I did it 25 times.
And then I had 6-figure residual income. That six
figures gave me time freedom and financial freedom. Because what I did is
I quit my job. I quit my job because my job was paying me... By the way, I had built
it up to the point where I was making over $100,000 a year. But my real estate
was paying me more. When I walked from the job, I got my time back. Real estate
was working in place of me so I got my time and money. So, time freedom and
financial freedom, one of the things that you got to ask yourself is "How do I get
more time back so I can start a business? How do I get more time back so I can
leverage it more intelligently for making more money?" Time freedom, financial
freedom. But you know what? Today's bonus for you is this last one. It's called
emotional freedom. And I will tell you this is the most important freedom to me
in my world today. Because let me to ask you. If you had all the money in the
world, if you had all the time in the world and you were depressed, or you
sad or you were unfulfilled, how free would you actually be? You're still
locked in a cage. And you might say, "But Chris I got my time I got my money." But
I'll tell you what, there's a lot of really sad billionaires and millionaires
out there. People who have given their life to their business so that they
could have money and have time. And now are unhappy. Here's the strangest part:
Between the 3 of these, do you know which one you can actually get first?
When people say, "Kris, how did you really become financially free?" Right now, on
camera, for you, I want to tell you the truth. I tell you in my videos that I got
mentors and I bought lots of homes and the homes gave me and my time back and
it gave me money. But there was another kind of mentorship that was happening at
the exact same time. I had other coaches and mentors that were helping me
eliminate my limiting beliefs. Because a limiting belief, for example people tell
themselves all the time, "I'm too stupid or I'm not smart enough. I'm not good at
this, I'm not good at that." Or they'll tell themself, "I can't do this or I can't
do that." Or "I'm too young for this" or "I'm too old for that."
Those are limiting beliefs. And a limiting belief basically means that you
put a ceiling on what you're capable of and you change the perception. You're
able incapable do so much more. But because you don't believe it. And what
that does is not just limits you. Those limiting beliefs, they produce sad
and they produce anger, they produce frustration. They produce all the
negative emotions. Financial freedom with negativity is not freedom at all. At
least not for me, it's a part of freedom. The greatest freedom you can have is an
emotional freedom. So, my coaches, they took me through what I call beilef
breakthrough. They would mentor me by having conversations like, "Hey, when did...
When was the last time you felt sad this last week?" And I'd say, "Well, I was just
freaking yesterday afternoon." Well, what happened? And we would talk about it. It was
almost like therapy, right? Like a counselor. Except, they would then do this.
They would say, "Well, what triggered that emotion?" And we would start exploring. "Oh,
my gosh. I've got a belief around myself that limits me." And then they showed me
an effective way to yank the limitation out. And without the limitation, I
couldn't have the negative side effect. Well, I did that process a couple
thousand times. And started realizing that all negative emotion is optional.
When I talk about this feat that I did buying 25 homes and then went on to buy
hundreds of homes and then thousands of homes, the biggest thing that has aided
me in that is not my technical knowledge on real estate. It's certainly not my
connections of people that I made that have money. I cleared out all of the
emotional baggage and garbage. And I'm a dude, right? Sometimes there are these
stereotypes about emotion being emotional women being emotional basket
cases. Men and women get shut down, can feel like doormats, can just feel
unfulfilled unhappy and can't figure out how to ignite their life and ignite
passion and I can hide excitement; thinking, "Well, if I had time back, I would
be happier. If I had money, I'd be happier." And you know what? That's not true.
There's a third freedom and it is an emotional freedom. Which by the way is
why when people come out to my events. Every quarter, I put on a 4-day event.
And those 4 days are transformational as in just at the end of day one, people
walk away saying, "They have never felt that way before." It was the most life
transforming experience in their life. You see they come to me like, "Kris, teach
me real estate. Give me a million-dollar game plan. Make me money in real estate
this year." And what I do is I give them that. But then I give them what they
really need which is the emotional freedom. Where we tackle and eliminate
the greatest limiting beliefs that script their psychology and keep us from
being happy. This mind that wants to focus on the things that won't actually
make us happy... Because by the way when they say money doesn't buy
happiness. Reality is the money actually doesn't. Money can buy opportunities to
do things that can make you really happy. One of which is free can get a coach. And
then learn how to live your life as big as loud as you possibly can and live
it to the fullest. So today, what is freedom for me? You need to be asking
yourself these questions. Here's the takeaway. Number 1, how can you leverage
yourself? How can you stop putting time in the things that are not productive?
And switch it to something that makes you more money. Because more money will
give you this freedom and you can use that money to invest in ways to get more
time back. This emotional freedom is the other really big takeaway today. I have
other videos. In fact, I've written a book called Limitless. It'll actually show you
how to get your emotional freedom back. In fact, if you click the link below, you
can have this book entirely for free. After I helped thousands of people learn
how to eliminate their limiting beliefs and had done at 5,000 times in
my own life, I wrote a book about it. And your one book away from actually
possessing a simple self taught technology. A little process every day
for scraping out the negativity, the limiting beliefs so that you can feel
great because of this. Having money won't make you feel great. The time to feel
great is when? It's now. Emotional freedom comes first. Time freedom comes next
concurrently. And that together gives you the greatest shot of creating the most
financial freedom. Because now you're an emotionally intelligent human being.
You're happy you love your life. People want to work with people like that. Doors
open to happier people. Greater positivity. I swear to you,
greater positivity opens more doors and gives you more opportunities. Most people
are screwed because they don't understand how they're cynical or
skeptical mindset keeps all the doors shut and slammed in their face because
they got hurt once upon a time and then they relive it by allowing that
negativity to rebirth every single day. You can cut that off. By the way, I hope
this was useful for you. And here's my invitation: Click the link below. Register

walk away and say anything other than "This was life transforming." Number 2,
get a copy of this book Limitless. It will show you a technique. I'm giving

countless other people. They can certainly do it for yourself.
