00:00:01.326 --> 00:00:04.530
Every dollar that you have sitting in your bank account is actually losing your money.
2
00:00:05.010 --> 00:00:10.016
The problem is no one has actually taught us what to do with any of the money sitting in our bank accounts.
3
00:00:10.516 --> 00:00:11.577
And my name is Sharant Trivatsa.
4
00:00:11.597 --> 00:00:13.680
I used to be a investment banker at Goldman Sachs.
5
00:00:14.441 --> 00:00:18.285
I've got a chance to build not one, but $2 billion companies, invested in 100 plus deals.
6
00:00:18.365 --> 00:00:20.007
And today I'm the CEO of acquisition.com.
7
00:00:20.507 --> 00:00:25.314
We're investing over a $250 million portfolio with my partners, Alex and Leila Hermozzi.
8
00:00:25.615 --> 00:00:32.505
And what I wanna tell you about today is how you could start making not active income, but passive income.
9
00:00:32.966 --> 00:00:34.268
And the key part here is,
10
00:00:35.389 --> 00:00:38.251
Whenever someone thinks about passive income, they're like, well, is it actually a myth?
11
00:00:38.331 --> 00:00:39.271
Is it actually possible?
12
00:00:39.331 --> 00:00:40.532
Is this guru trying to sell me something?
13
00:00:40.572 --> 00:00:41.332
I have nothing to sell you.
14
00:00:41.773 --> 00:00:46.515
I wanted to explain to you how you can make passive income and why that is an important thing for you.
15
00:00:46.535 --> 00:00:58.962
Now, before I tell you about passive income, which I'm gonna break down for you completely and give you the exact blueprint for it, I wanna tell you about why you are losing money when your cash is just sitting in your bank account.
16
00:01:00.123 --> 00:01:06.709
Most people just put their cash in their bank account and they think they get this 0.15% interest and they're happy about it because they don't have anything else to do with it.
17
00:01:06.769 --> 00:01:09.292
I've seen the most successful entrepreneurs do this.
18
00:01:09.772 --> 00:01:11.774
And the reason is they don't know what else to do with it.
19
00:01:12.495 --> 00:01:18.000
And the number one reason why leaving money in your bank account is a bad idea is because...
20
00:01:18.620 --> 00:01:19.261
of inflation.
21
00:01:19.481 --> 00:01:22.544
Inflation is the silent tax on all money.
22
00:01:23.104 --> 00:01:28.990
Because as the price of goods and services go up, the purchasing power of your dollar does not keep up with it.
23
00:01:29.110 --> 00:01:34.495
And that is essentially how inflation eats away at your money.
24
00:01:34.956 --> 00:01:42.223
So if inflation is 3% a year and you put $100 in your bank account, at the end of the year, that $100 can only buy $97 worth of stuff.
25
00:01:43.524 --> 00:01:44.564
Yes, you still have $100.
26
00:01:44.784 --> 00:01:45.785
You think you have $100.
27
00:01:45.865 --> 00:01:49.526
You feel better about having $100, but it can't buy $100 worth of stuff.
28
00:01:50.026 --> 00:01:55.308
So it is irresponsible for you to leave your cash in your bank account.
29
00:01:55.368 --> 00:01:57.269
That is why most people have not told us what to do with it.
30
00:01:57.689 --> 00:02:04.931
Now that you know why leaving your cash in your bank account is probably not a good idea, you got to do something with it, but I know you don't want to take any risk.
31
00:02:05.111 --> 00:02:06.772
I want to flip and tell you why
32
00:02:07.692 --> 00:02:10.074
you wanna figure out and get passive income in some way.
33
00:02:10.374 --> 00:02:11.996
Now, first we have to define passive income.
34
00:02:12.016 --> 00:02:13.017
So what is passive income?
35
00:02:13.617 --> 00:02:15.779
Passive income is pre-funded income.
36
00:02:16.640 --> 00:02:22.125
Meaning you actually pre-fund the income with effort or you pre-fund the income with money.
37
00:02:22.785 --> 00:02:23.205
Meaning what?
38
00:02:24.257 --> 00:02:32.064
When people say, you're just gonna get mailbox money, well, no one woke up in the morning and said, hey, Sharron, I'm gonna start sending you a check for $1,000 a month.
39
00:02:32.644 --> 00:02:33.225
That doesn't work.
40
00:02:33.525 --> 00:02:35.547
I have to have done something to have earned that.
41
00:02:36.027 --> 00:02:39.009
So that's why I like to call passive income as pre-funded income.
42
00:02:39.070 --> 00:02:43.013
I have to either pre-funded with effort or pre-funded with money.
43
00:02:43.393 --> 00:02:44.894
What does pre-funding with effort mean?
44
00:02:45.335 --> 00:02:47.056
Pre-funding with effort means that
45
00:02:48.137 --> 00:02:57.420
If I do some work today, so let's say I get into, you and I are in a partnership and I get into a partnership with you today and I say, hey, I don't want any money for the next three years.
46
00:02:57.480 --> 00:02:58.540
I'll work for you for free.
47
00:02:58.880 --> 00:03:05.322
But then after the three years and the business takes over, I would love for you to pay me $3,000 a month in perpetuity.
48
00:03:05.602 --> 00:03:06.983
So for the next three years, I work for free.
49
00:03:07.403 --> 00:03:10.204
I put in all the effort, I pre-fund the effort.
50
00:03:10.524 --> 00:03:16.187
And you get the benefit of that, but then you just have to pay me $3,000 every month, you know, going forward.
51
00:03:16.507 --> 00:03:19.288
Oh, you may think the deals like that don't exist, but they do, right?
52
00:03:19.468 --> 00:03:20.929
But that's pre-funding effort.
53
00:03:20.989 --> 00:03:22.470
I've done, actually done that multiple times.
54
00:03:23.310 --> 00:03:26.011
The second is pre-funding it with money.
55
00:03:26.331 --> 00:03:34.575
So let's just say you take $100,000, you go buy a piece of a real estate investment, and that investment starts to pay you $500 a month based on the rental income.
56
00:03:35.075 --> 00:03:36.436
Now you've pre-funded it with money.
57
00:03:37.697 --> 00:03:40.561
There is no magical passive income silver bullet.
58
00:03:40.601 --> 00:03:44.487
You're not just gonna randomly get passive income from somebody that just gives you the money.
59
00:03:44.627 --> 00:03:47.190
It's a little bit more than that.
60
00:03:47.831 --> 00:03:51.497
But the question now becomes why do we need passive income?
61
00:03:51.757 --> 00:03:52.378
Now let me explain.
62
00:03:54.002 --> 00:03:59.504
The first step in the wealth ladder is when your active income is greater than your monthly expenses.
63
00:03:59.644 --> 00:04:00.044
Meaning what?
64
00:04:00.524 --> 00:04:03.325
Active income is where you trade time for money.
65
00:04:04.065 --> 00:04:07.686
Well, you trade time for money, you get the money, and then you pay expenses, right?
66
00:04:08.226 --> 00:04:18.309
Well, the only time you're truly financially free is when you don't have to trade time for money anymore, which is if you don't trade time for money, your money is working for you and you're getting passive income, which I think is a great idea.
67
00:04:18.849 --> 00:04:20.330
Now, how do you actually do that?
68
00:04:21.907 --> 00:04:25.049
The issue is that I call this the idea of the two lane merge.
69
00:04:25.790 --> 00:04:29.032
You have active income, you work, you pay expenses.
70
00:04:29.132 --> 00:04:30.293
You work, you pay expenses.
71
00:04:30.393 --> 00:04:31.393
You work, you pay expenses.
72
00:04:31.614 --> 00:04:34.936
And that kind of process never ends.
73
00:04:35.656 --> 00:04:38.478
But when you have passive income and active income, now you have two lanes.
74
00:04:38.938 --> 00:04:42.701
You have active income that gives you income, you have passive income that gives you income, but you still have the same expenses.
75
00:04:43.381 --> 00:04:49.564
when you can flip to the point where your passive income, where you're not trading time for money actually gives you the income, you can actually be financially free.
76
00:04:49.584 --> 00:04:53.086
You can wake up in the morning and say, huh, what would I like to do today?
77
00:04:53.586 --> 00:04:54.406
That's really important.
78
00:04:54.927 --> 00:04:57.908
And so you must say, well, Sean, what does this mean?
79
00:04:57.988 --> 00:04:59.489
Like, how do you actually do something like this?
80
00:04:59.909 --> 00:05:06.112
Well, I'll give you an example of, let's say you had an employer, let's say you went to the office and you had 10 employees that work for you.
81
00:05:06.592 --> 00:05:08.013
Well, each employee has a job, right?
82
00:05:08.453 --> 00:05:14.055
So if you walked into work and you saw each of the employees working, that makes sense because they have a job.
83
00:05:14.075 --> 00:05:15.355
So every employee has a job.
84
00:05:15.795 --> 00:05:18.316
What if you walked into the office and none of them were doing anything?
85
00:05:18.356 --> 00:05:19.297
They were all goofing around.
86
00:05:19.697 --> 00:05:20.957
Well, you would be upset.
87
00:05:21.417 --> 00:05:24.358
Well, that's exactly what's happening to your cash sitting in your bank account right now.
88
00:05:24.418 --> 00:05:25.539
All your cash is goofing off.
89
00:05:25.639 --> 00:05:26.479
It's being lazy.
90
00:05:26.499 --> 00:05:27.499
They have lazy cash.
91
00:05:28.060 --> 00:05:32.261
So if every employee needs a job, every dollar needs a job as well.
92
00:05:32.581 --> 00:05:34.542
And it's our job to give every dollar a job.
93
00:05:36.211 --> 00:05:38.612
And that is the goal of actually creating passive income.
94
00:05:38.773 --> 00:05:41.054
Now, you may say, oh, Sean, I understand passive income.
95
00:05:41.074 --> 00:05:41.915
I understand I need it.
96
00:05:41.955 --> 00:05:43.176
What do I actually do with it?
97
00:05:43.556 --> 00:05:45.698
Well, how do you create passive income?
98
00:05:46.179 --> 00:05:48.140
I wanna tell you a story about Arnold Schwarzenegger.
99
00:05:48.160 --> 00:05:48.981
I don't know if you know Arnold.
100
00:05:49.601 --> 00:05:52.424
Used to be the governor of California, amazing actor.
101
00:05:53.184 --> 00:05:56.727
Arnold has first big break in Terminator when he was 37 years old.
102
00:05:57.939 --> 00:06:00.120
But when he was 25, he was a millionaire.
103
00:06:00.720 --> 00:06:08.264
And the reason is his real estate agent in Los Angeles, California, told him to take $27,500 that he had and actually invested in a duplex.
104
00:06:08.384 --> 00:06:13.747
That duplex gave him money, and then he took the duplex and bought a fourplex, and that went on and on, and that's how he became a millionaire.
105
00:06:14.247 --> 00:06:17.989
And the crazy part is he did not buy a $50 million asset.
106
00:06:18.329 --> 00:06:19.490
He bought a small asset.
107
00:06:19.530 --> 00:06:22.612
I call it a TIGA, a tiny income generating asset, a TIGA.
108
00:06:22.992 --> 00:06:25.493
And because he bought the TIGA, it changed his life completely.
109
00:06:25.613 --> 00:06:28.255
So your job is to figure out how to buy TIGAs.
110
00:06:28.475 --> 00:06:30.636
And I wanna give you three TIGAs that you can buy.
111
00:06:30.956 --> 00:06:32.217
TIGA number one is TIGA.
112
00:06:33.147 --> 00:06:37.870
You can take cash that you have right now in your bank account and create a dividend portfolio.
113
00:06:38.010 --> 00:06:40.371
I will give you the four ETFs that I currently use right now.
114
00:06:40.752 --> 00:06:47.696
The first ETF that I use is SCHO, SCHD, TIP and SGOV.
115
00:06:48.056 --> 00:06:50.077
When you do those four, right?
116
00:06:50.157 --> 00:06:53.860
When you just do those four, you get a cash management portfolio, dividend portfolio.
117
00:06:54.440 --> 00:07:00.565
The second way of TIGA, Tiny Income Generating Asset, is to create affiliate income.
118
00:07:00.625 --> 00:07:02.547
Now, I'll tell you, I never thought this was possible.
119
00:07:02.567 --> 00:07:13.896
When I actually created affiliate income the first time was when I sent an email to my list and told the audience to buy this software subscription that I really liked.
120
00:07:13.976 --> 00:07:16.798
I had no idea that you can get affiliate commissions from it.
121
00:07:17.198 --> 00:07:19.321
Heck, Amazon pays affiliate commissions.
122
00:07:19.641 --> 00:07:24.667
So if you really like the product on Amazon and you want to recommend it to people, you could take your affiliate link and give it to somebody.
123
00:07:24.687 --> 00:07:26.709
And if they bought the product, you would actually get paid.
124
00:07:26.949 --> 00:07:29.773
You could generate passive income every time someone actually gets paid on this.
125
00:07:29.793 --> 00:07:30.634
You're not doing any work.
126
00:07:30.654 --> 00:07:31.515
Someone else is doing the work.
127
00:07:31.895 --> 00:07:32.676
That's affiliate income.
128
00:07:33.197 --> 00:07:33.737
And the third is,
129
00:07:34.618 --> 00:07:42.162
I think real estate is a great way, but most people are not willing and probably don't have the capacity or the capability to spend the money to buy a big real estate property.
130
00:07:42.182 --> 00:07:47.045
So the first time I actually bought a piece of real estate was not, I didn't have the first $100,000 to put down.
131
00:07:47.565 --> 00:07:57.290
I actually went in to buy my first real estate, my second real estate property with a few friends and five of us put together $20,000 each to then buy this real estate property.
132
00:07:57.330 --> 00:08:03.834
So if you want to get started in creating passive income and the investment overall, you don't have to do it all yourself.
133
00:08:04.474 --> 00:08:10.015
you can actually go in with a group of people that will then buy this tiny income generating asset for you.
134
00:08:10.035 --> 00:08:16.816
So it doesn't matter if it's a dividend portfolio of stocks with SCHO, SCHD, TIP, and SGOV.
135
00:08:16.896 --> 00:08:19.357
That is exactly my portfolio and it's divided equally.
136
00:08:19.957 --> 00:08:24.518
Or you do affiliate marketing where you can get income from there.
137
00:08:24.618 --> 00:08:26.758
Or you have invest in groups.
138
00:08:26.938 --> 00:08:31.519
And when you invest in groups, you reduce your risk and you get to invest in groups and learn together as well.
139
00:08:32.499 --> 00:08:36.122
The reason I'm sharing this with you is that every dollar needs a job.
140
00:08:37.043 --> 00:08:44.049
And if we can't get every dollar to work for us, then we will continuously be trading time for money.
141
00:08:44.550 --> 00:08:49.734
And unless you can make money while you sleep, you will work until the day you die.
1
00:00:01.326 --> 00:00:04.530
Every dollar that you have sitting in your bank account is actually losing your money.
2
00:00:05.010 --> 00:00:10.016
The problem is no one has actually taught us what to do with any of the money sitting in our bank accounts.
3
00:00:10.516 --> 00:00:11.577
And my name is Sharant Trivatsa.
4
00:00:11.597 --> 00:00:13.680
I used to be a investment banker at Goldman Sachs.
5
00:00:14.441 --> 00:00:18.285
I've got a chance to build not one, but $2 billion companies, invested in 100 plus deals.
6
00:00:18.365 --> 00:00:20.007
And today I'm the CEO of acquisition.com.
7
00:00:20.507 --> 00:00:25.314
We're investing over a $250 million portfolio with my partners, Alex and Leila Hermozzi.
8
00:00:25.615 --> 00:00:32.505
And what I wanna tell you about today is how you could start making not active income, but passive income.
9
00:00:32.966 --> 00:00:34.268
And the key part here is,
10
00:00:35.389 --> 00:00:38.251
Whenever someone thinks about passive income, they're like, well, is it actually a myth?
11
00:00:38.331 --> 00:00:39.271
Is it actually possible?
12
00:00:39.331 --> 00:00:40.532
Is this guru trying to sell me something?
13
00:00:40.572 --> 00:00:41.332
I have nothing to sell you.
14
00:00:41.773 --> 00:00:46.515
I wanted to explain to you how you can make passive income and why that is an important thing for you.
15
00:00:46.535 --> 00:00:58.962
Now, before I tell you about passive income, which I'm gonna break down for you completely and give you the exact blueprint for it, I wanna tell you about why you are losing money when your cash is just sitting in your bank account.
16
00:01:00.123 --> 00:01:06.709
Most people just put their cash in their bank account and they think they get this 0.15% interest and they're happy about it because they don't have anything else to do with it.
17
00:01:06.769 --> 00:01:09.292
I've seen the most successful entrepreneurs do this.
18
00:01:09.772 --> 00:01:11.774
And the reason is they don't know what else to do with it.
19
00:01:12.495 --> 00:01:18.000
And the number one reason why leaving money in your bank account is a bad idea is because...
20
00:01:18.620 --> 00:01:19.261
of inflation.
21
00:01:19.481 --> 00:01:22.544
Inflation is the silent tax on all money.
22
00:01:23.104 --> 00:01:28.990
Because as the price of goods and services go up, the purchasing power of your dollar does not keep up with it.
23
00:01:29.110 --> 00:01:34.495
And that is essentially how inflation eats away at your money.
24
00:01:34.956 --> 00:01:42.223
So if inflation is 3% a year and you put $100 in your bank account, at the end of the year, that $100 can only buy $97 worth of stuff.
25
00:01:43.524 --> 00:01:44.564
Yes, you still have $100.
26
00:01:44.784 --> 00:01:45.785
You think you have $100.
27
00:01:45.865 --> 00:01:49.526
You feel better about having $100, but it can't buy $100 worth of stuff.
28
00:01:50.026 --> 00:01:55.308
So it is irresponsible for you to leave your cash in your bank account.
29
00:01:55.368 --> 00:01:57.269
That is why most people have not told us what to do with it.
30
00:01:57.689 --> 00:02:04.931
Now that you know why leaving your cash in your bank account is probably not a good idea, you got to do something with it, but I know you don't want to take any risk.
31
00:02:05.111 --> 00:02:06.772
I want to flip and tell you why
32
00:02:07.692 --> 00:02:10.074
you wanna figure out and get passive income in some way.
33
00:02:10.374 --> 00:02:11.996
Now, first we have to define passive income.
34
00:02:12.016 --> 00:02:13.017
So what is passive income?
35
00:02:13.617 --> 00:02:15.779
Passive income is pre-funded income.
36
00:02:16.640 --> 00:02:22.125
Meaning you actually pre-fund the income with effort or you pre-fund the income with money.
37
00:02:22.785 --> 00:02:23.205
Meaning what?
38
00:02:24.257 --> 00:02:32.064
When people say, you're just gonna get mailbox money, well, no one woke up in the morning and said, hey, Sharron, I'm gonna start sending you a check for $1,000 a month.
39
00:02:32.644 --> 00:02:33.225
That doesn't work.
40
00:02:33.525 --> 00:02:35.547
I have to have done something to have earned that.
41
00:02:36.027 --> 00:02:39.009
So that's why I like to call passive income as pre-funded income.
42
00:02:39.070 --> 00:02:43.013
I have to either pre-funded with effort or pre-funded with money.
43
00:02:43.393 --> 00:02:44.894
What does pre-funding with effort mean?
44
00:02:45.335 --> 00:02:47.056
Pre-funding with effort means that
45
00:02:48.137 --> 00:02:57.420
If I do some work today, so let's say I get into, you and I are in a partnership and I get into a partnership with you today and I say, hey, I don't want any money for the next three years.
46
00:02:57.480 --> 00:02:58.540
I'll work for you for free.
47
00:02:58.880 --> 00:03:05.322
But then after the three years and the business takes over, I would love for you to pay me $3,000 a month in perpetuity.
48
00:03:05.602 --> 00:03:06.983
So for the next three years, I work for free.
49
00:03:07.403 --> 00:03:10.204
I put in all the effort, I pre-fund the effort.
50
00:03:10.524 --> 00:03:16.187
And you get the benefit of that, but then you just have to pay me $3,000 every month, you know, going forward.
51
00:03:16.507 --> 00:03:19.288
Oh, you may think the deals like that don't exist, but they do, right?
52
00:03:19.468 --> 00:03:20.929
But that's pre-funding effort.
53
00:03:20.989 --> 00:03:22.470
I've done, actually done that multiple times.
54
00:03:23.310 --> 00:03:26.011
The second is pre-funding it with money.
55
00:03:26.331 --> 00:03:34.575
So let's just say you take $100,000, you go buy a piece of a real estate investment, and that investment starts to pay you $500 a month based on the rental income.
56
00:03:35.075 --> 00:03:36.436
Now you've pre-funded it with money.
57
00:03:37.697 --> 00:03:40.561
There is no magical passive income silver bullet.
58
00:03:40.601 --> 00:03:44.487
You're not just gonna randomly get passive income from somebody that just gives you the money.
59
00:03:44.627 --> 00:03:47.190
It's a little bit more than that.
60
00:03:47.831 --> 00:03:51.497
But the question now becomes why do we need passive income?
61
00:03:51.757 --> 00:03:52.378
Now let me explain.
62
00:03:54.002 --> 00:03:59.504
The first step in the wealth ladder is when your active income is greater than your monthly expenses.
63
00:03:59.644 --> 00:04:00.044
Meaning what?
64
00:04:00.524 --> 00:04:03.325
Active income is where you trade time for money.
65
00:04:04.065 --> 00:04:07.686
Well, you trade time for money, you get the money, and then you pay expenses, right?
66
00:04:08.226 --> 00:04:18.309
Well, the only time you're truly financially free is when you don't have to trade time for money anymore, which is if you don't trade time for money, your money is working for you and you're getting passive income, which I think is a great idea.
67
00:04:18.849 --> 00:04:20.330
Now, how do you actually do that?
68
00:04:21.907 --> 00:04:25.049
The issue is that I call this the idea of the two lane merge.
69
00:04:25.790 --> 00:04:29.032
You have active income, you work, you pay expenses.
70
00:04:29.132 --> 00:04:30.293
You work, you pay expenses.
71
00:04:30.393 --> 00:04:31.393
You work, you pay expenses.
72
00:04:31.614 --> 00:04:34.936
And that kind of process never ends.
73
00:04:35.656 --> 00:04:38.478
But when you have passive income and active income, now you have two lanes.
74
00:04:38.938 --> 00:04:42.701
You have active income that gives you income, you have passive income that gives you income, but you still have the same expenses.
75
00:04:43.381 --> 00:04:49.564
when you can flip to the point where your passive income, where you're not trading time for money actually gives you the income, you can actually be financially free.
76
00:04:49.584 --> 00:04:53.086
You can wake up in the morning and say, huh, what would I like to do today?
77
00:04:53.586 --> 00:04:54.406
That's really important.
78
00:04:54.927 --> 00:04:57.908
And so you must say, well, Sean, what does this mean?
79
00:04:57.988 --> 00:04:59.489
Like, how do you actually do something like this?
80
00:04:59.909 --> 00:05:06.112
Well, I'll give you an example of, let's say you had an employer, let's say you went to the office and you had 10 employees that work for you.
81
00:05:06.592 --> 00:05:08.013
Well, each employee has a job, right?
82
00:05:08.453 --> 00:05:14.055
So if you walked into work and you saw each of the employees working, that makes sense because they have a job.
83
00:05:14.075 --> 00:05:15.355
So every employee has a job.
84
00:05:15.795 --> 00:05:18.316
What if you walked into the office and none of them were doing anything?
85
00:05:18.356 --> 00:05:19.297
They were all goofing around.
86
00:05:19.697 --> 00:05:20.957
Well, you would be upset.
87
00:05:21.417 --> 00:05:24.358
Well, that's exactly what's happening to your cash sitting in your bank account right now.
88
00:05:24.418 --> 00:05:25.539
All your cash is goofing off.
89
00:05:25.639 --> 00:05:26.479
It's being lazy.
90
00:05:26.499 --> 00:05:27.499
They have lazy cash.
91
00:05:28.060 --> 00:05:32.261
So if every employee needs a job, every dollar needs a job as well.
92
00:05:32.581 --> 00:05:34.542
And it's our job to give every dollar a job.
93
00:05:36.211 --> 00:05:38.612
And that is the goal of actually creating passive income.
94
00:05:38.773 --> 00:05:41.054
Now, you may say, oh, Sean, I understand passive income.
95
00:05:41.074 --> 00:05:41.915
I understand I need it.
96
00:05:41.955 --> 00:05:43.176
What do I actually do with it?
97
00:05:43.556 --> 00:05:45.698
Well, how do you create passive income?
98
00:05:46.179 --> 00:05:48.140
I wanna tell you a story about Arnold Schwarzenegger.
99
00:05:48.160 --> 00:05:48.981
I don't know if you know Arnold.
100
00:05:49.601 --> 00:05:52.424
Used to be the governor of California, amazing actor.
101
00:05:53.184 --> 00:05:56.727
Arnold has first big break in Terminator when he was 37 years old.
102
00:05:57.939 --> 00:06:00.120
But when he was 25, he was a millionaire.
103
00:06:00.720 --> 00:06:08.264
And the reason is his real estate agent in Los Angeles, California, told him to take $27,500 that he had and actually invested in a duplex.
104
00:06:08.384 --> 00:06:13.747
That duplex gave him money, and then he took the duplex and bought a fourplex, and that went on and on, and that's how he became a millionaire.
105
00:06:14.247 --> 00:06:17.989
And the crazy part is he did not buy a $50 million asset.
106
00:06:18.329 --> 00:06:19.490
He bought a small asset.
107
00:06:19.530 --> 00:06:22.612
I call it a TIGA, a tiny income generating asset, a TIGA.
108
00:06:22.992 --> 00:06:25.493
And because he bought the TIGA, it changed his life completely.
109
00:06:25.613 --> 00:06:28.255
So your job is to figure out how to buy TIGAs.
110
00:06:28.475 --> 00:06:30.636
And I wanna give you three TIGAs that you can buy.
111
00:06:30.956 --> 00:06:32.217
TIGA number one is TIGA.
112
00:06:33.147 --> 00:06:37.870
You can take cash that you have right now in your bank account and create a dividend portfolio.
113
00:06:38.010 --> 00:06:40.371
I will give you the four ETFs that I currently use right now.
114
00:06:40.752 --> 00:06:47.696
The first ETF that I use is SCHO, SCHD, TIP and SGOV.
115
00:06:48.056 --> 00:06:50.077
When you do those four, right?
116
00:06:50.157 --> 00:06:53.860
When you just do those four, you get a cash management portfolio, dividend portfolio.
117
00:06:54.440 --> 00:07:00.565
The second way of TIGA, Tiny Income Generating Asset, is to create affiliate income.
118
00:07:00.625 --> 00:07:02.547
Now, I'll tell you, I never thought this was possible.
119
00:07:02.567 --> 00:07:13.896
When I actually created affiliate income the first time was when I sent an email to my list and told the audience to buy this software subscription that I really liked.
120
00:07:13.976 --> 00:07:16.798
I had no idea that you can get affiliate commissions from it.
121
00:07:17.198 --> 00:07:19.321
Heck, Amazon pays affiliate commissions.
122
00:07:19.641 --> 00:07:24.667
So if you really like the product on Amazon and you want to recommend it to people, you could take your affiliate link and give it to somebody.
123
00:07:24.687 --> 00:07:26.709
And if they bought the product, you would actually get paid.
124
00:07:26.949 --> 00:07:29.773
You could generate passive income every time someone actually gets paid on this.
125
00:07:29.793 --> 00:07:30.634
You're not doing any work.
126
00:07:30.654 --> 00:07:31.515
Someone else is doing the work.
127
00:07:31.895 --> 00:07:32.676
That's affiliate income.
128
00:07:33.197 --> 00:07:33.737
And the third is,
129
00:07:34.618 --> 00:07:42.162
I think real estate is a great way, but most people are not willing and probably don't have the capacity or the capability to spend the money to buy a big real estate property.
130
00:07:42.182 --> 00:07:47.045
So the first time I actually bought a piece of real estate was not, I didn't have the first $100,000 to put down.
131
00:07:47.565 --> 00:07:57.290
I actually went in to buy my first real estate, my second real estate property with a few friends and five of us put together $20,000 each to then buy this real estate property.
132
00:07:57.330 --> 00:08:03.834
So if you want to get started in creating passive income and the investment overall, you don't have to do it all yourself.
133
00:08:04.474 --> 00:08:10.015
you can actually go in with a group of people that will then buy this tiny income generating asset for you.
134
00:08:10.035 --> 00:08:16.816
So it doesn't matter if it's a dividend portfolio of stocks with SCHO, SCHD, TIP, and SGOV.
135
00:08:16.896 --> 00:08:19.357
That is exactly my portfolio and it's divided equally.
136
00:08:19.957 --> 00:08:24.518
Or you do affiliate marketing where you can get income from there.
137
00:08:24.618 --> 00:08:26.758
Or you have invest in groups.
138
00:08:26.938 --> 00:08:31.519
And when you invest in groups, you reduce your risk and you get to invest in groups and learn together as well.
139
00:08:32.499 --> 00:08:36.122
The reason I'm sharing this with you is that every dollar needs a job.
140
00:08:37.043 --> 00:08:44.049
And if we can't get every dollar to work for us, then we will continuously be trading time for money.
141
00:08:44.550 --> 00:08:49.734
And unless you can make money while you sleep, you will work until the day you die.
