how my rich friends make "f*** you" money

One of my friends just made $1.3 million and he's 23, just graduate to college, doesn't work at 9 to five and it's not like the smartest in the room or anything and I was like, how the heck did you do that? And so this is when I realized no one teaches women about F-money or equity because basically he built a fitness app and he scaled it, got a bunch of users and eventually sold that app to another company for the 1.3 million and yes they literally wire it to your freaking bank account. So I wanted to bring this story up because I've met a bunch of really, really cracked friends that make like hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars a month. This is everything I've learned about wealth creation and how to actually get rich without being the smartest in the room. Number one is understanding that working hard does not necessarily equate to more income. One of my friends is a YouTuber and he charged $100,000 for a single brand deal or video, which is kind of crazy because it probably takes the same amount of hours, but that is the power of leverage. and that is what you need. And if I'll, how do I build leverage? Basically, you need three things. It's you're going to need ownership, distribution, or scarcity. When I say ownership, that is what I mean by equity. So the guy that had the app, he basically had majority ownership in the app that he made, which is why he was able to walk away with a million dollars. To break down a math for the another example, there's this app called Cal AI, which you basically use your phone to snap a picture of food and it tracks your macros and calories. They sold that to my fitness pool for $50 to $100 million. And one of the founders of Cali I was like 19 years old. And so when he sold, he not only made money from like the years that he ran the business, but during that sale, he also made tens of millions of dollars. Now the next example is distribution. And distribution is having a network that you can sell to. So this is think your influencer like Alex Erl gets paid hundreds of thousands of dollars for a video. One of my biggest brand deals was literally $50,000 for two videos, which is crazy. Instead of trading hours for a salary, you're trading the leverage that you have. And which brings me to my last point just scarcity and like think about what is something that makes you different from everybody else. What is a skill or service that I have? Netflix just posted a like creative storytelling role that was $700,000 a year salary. Crazy. But that is because creative direction and storytelling is such an essential role right now in this age and very, very much so needed because of like AI tech tools like basically people aren't coding anymore. They don't really need that much help building. They need people to lead the marketing and the story of a brand. But yeah, those are all of the things that I've learned from my super crack friends and just a few years of observing people and if you want more finance tips like this and you're a young student that wants to figure life out, make sure to give me page up follow.
