Becoming financially independent at the age of 26 has given me some amazing
opportunities in life and how I really did it came down to 4 simple phases. I
want to share those with you today. Because I want to help you hack what you
need to do on going through these 4 hoops. Because if you can do it, it can
open up a whole new world of possibility for you.
I travel around the world and I share with people the story of how I became
financially free at such a young age. And the independence really came from 4
key phases that I'm gonna be sharing with you right now. And the first thing
that I want to talk about. The first phase it's what we call motivation. I
work with people that say and give lip service to, "Oh, I want to be wealthy ." like,
people comment below, "Kris, teach me man." Like, "Will you help me figure
out how to like you know build all this wealth." And I look at that and I'm
just like, "Are you motivated?" For me, my motivation came from some like deep pain.
It was one part watching my wife cry over my inability to put groceries on
the table. And I felt pathetic and small. I had just decided I wasn't going to be a
doctor. I had no idea what I wanted to do but I know I never wanted to see my wife
cry like that ever again. And it unlocked something in me that pain. A lot of
people they take their pain and they just feel worse and worse and worse over
it. And my pain led me to rise up and say, "I never want to feel this way again." I am
motivated. I was also motivated by my parents because my parents had 9 kids.
They didn't have any retirement to speak of and I felt like it was my
responsibility for whatever reason to take care of them in their old age. So,
I'm like I got to make enough money for my family and for my parents. And I got
to tell you. I mean, for the last 10 years I've been taking care of my
parents. I send them on trips and I take care of the medical procedures and
I cover their monthly this and thats. And room and board and food and is
joyful for me. Like, it's probably the most meaningful things I've ever done.
That's motivation. It's one thing that pain in your life but the question is
can you harness it to do what needs to be done? There's got to be a turning
point. There's got to be a point where you say, "I'm finally gonna do whatever it
takes." And here's how you know if you have enough motivation. Because when it
comes time to doing the do, you do it. When most people don't, it's like, you
got to understand that anyone that accomplishes something great. Always has
that moment where it's hard and difficult where most people would give
up. Like it's hard to I go online and look for a good deal or to
like buy a course and get a mentor and learn from them. Or to get through all
the training materials. Like, there's some things that are just hard that people
don't want to do. And so they don't do the do. The people that do versus the
people that don't come down to motivation. And motivation is not waiting
for something bad to happen in your life where you like, "Finally, more motivation." I
mean, it is self-created. If you had a kid and I took a gun and I put the gun to
your kid's head and I said, "Find an amazing deal with 20% equity today or
I'm going to kill your kid." As graphic and vulgar as that sounds, I promise you
would find a deal or call the cops and plant a really awesome FBI sting
operation. Like, it's gruesome of example it is. I want you understand that
motivation has nothing to do with ability. It has to do with a reason to
make a choice. A reason to act. Motivation is a choice. You don't have to wait for
something dramatic to happen. You can choose in. And that's number 1. The next
thing that happened was that motivation led me to buy my very first house. And it
felt kind of safe for me it was a stretch and it was hard. But it had a
basement apartment that was going to cover the mortgage. And I guess in my head I'm
like well if the basement doesn't run out. If it doesn't end up being a good
investment. People need a place to live anyway so we'll pay that. I thought the
motivation. I took action on it. And it was the start of a system. Because I
bought the house, the house had equity in it and it ended up being a cash cow. And
a system emerged. Once you have the motivation in place, you then need to
lock in on a system. My system really emerged when I did my second house. My
second house is when I used equity from the first house because of how I bought
it. I put it into a second piece of property. And that other piece of
property was awesome because I bought it really far below market. It had a $600
month cash flow. It took courage and motivation to buy that house. But once I
did it, I'm like, "Oh, this is what a lease option is. This is how you find someone
to live in the house that isn't just a renter. They're going to take care of it
will eventually buy it." A system emerged that I ended up documenting in this book.
This is a second edition. But this book is creative millionaires. And
everyone needs a system. You... But you can have mine for free. All you
need to do is click the link below and then you can... Just cover the shipping. The
actual cost of the book I'm covering and the book is yours. That led to a system
on that second property. The next thing once I had this system was duplication.
Like, "Alright. I know how I'm making money. Now, I need to duplicate it. I need to
replicate my result." So, I did it on my third house and my fourth and my fifth.
And I'm like, "Okay. I have a system I'm duplicating it and now I have a funnel
working for finding the deals, put tenants in the home and getting paid
for doing them." There was a draw though. There was a... There was a fault in the
system. And the system was it always required me to come up with more money
to do my next deal or wait for money to be in the next house that I could pull
out to do the next deal. So, it was growing but for me it was growing really
slowly. And that's what takes us to the 4th step which is the acceleration.
Acceleration is when you figure out how to put your duplicatable system on
steroids. And how I did that was I took my track record and I shopped it out. And
my father-in-law said, "Whoa, you've bought some homes. It's working. Let me give you
some money and let's speed this up" And after that worked and bought five homes
and kept on going. I found three or four other partners and
then more and they put the money in. And then I kept supplying the deals.
And now this thing started accelerating. Along the way, I was operating this whole
thing which meant that it replaced my job. But it had become a job itself. And
then I learned that really part of acceleration means moving from being a
business operator to a business owner. And a business owner means that you get
the earnings from the business without needing to actually run the business. So,
it's actually one of the coolest parts about the whole thing. I look at my life
and rewind and it's so perfect mostly because if I start it over, I'll
just do the exact same thing again and start from scratch and build wealth and
I can be a millionaire almost overnight. Because I know that I have the
motivation. I tapped into the system. I know how to duplicate it and accelerate
it. So, in my world today I do this every single day or rather I
should say other people are doing this for me. So, my wealth continues to grow. My
wealth continues to expand. And that's my journey. If you're looking for a wealth
system, look no further. It's here and it's free. Just cover the shipping and
I'll send this out to you. If you're sitting there and you're like, "Well, Kris.
I have money in a 401k or an IRA. Could I go faster?" You can actually talk to my
team about leveraging my system where we'll find the deals for you. We'll give
you the system. We'll duplicate it and will accelerate it for you. All turnkey.
