Dumb life advice: 
Save, retire and live off the interest
(here's the math)

Your parents said it.
Your financial advisor definitely says it.

Slave away.
Save for XX years.
Then live off the interest.

Safety.

But here's what they don't tell you about the "safe path":

• The interest on $1M at X% = $40k/year
• You need 25-30 years to save that $1M
• Inflation will eat half your purchasing power
• You'll waste your prime years waiting

Instead, I tell my clients to do this:

Invest a fraction of that $1M in YOU
Package YOUR expertise it into a premium service
Serve 8-10 high-value clients
Generate $40k/month (not per year)

The math to controlling yoru future is simple (but not easy):
Traditional path = XX years to make $40k/year
Expert path = XX months to make $40k/month

I've helped dozens of corporate leaders make this transition.

Stop waiting for compound interest.
Start compounding your expertise.

This is your gateway to building the life you want and living sovereign NOW.
