7 Reasons Why The Wealthy NEVER Trade Time For Money

Welcome to another episode of the Building Your Money Machine Show! Today, I’m shining a light on a game-changing concept that separates the truly wealthy from everyone else: refusing to trade your time for money. If you’ve ever looked at your calendar and wondered if the hamster wheel of back-to-back meetings, errands, and calls is really the endgame, this episode is for you.

I'm sharing the seven key reasons why the wealthy never play the time-for-dollars game—and how you can stop being the unpaid intern in your own life's story. I’ll walk you through my journey from accountant buried in spreadsheets and calls to someone who’s obsessed with building a system—a Money Machine—that funds a life of true freedom and choice.

I’ll tell you how a simple, powerful lesson from my six-year-old son made me rethink everything about money, time, and presence. From there, you’ll discover how to architect a life where your money works for you—even while you sleep, take a walk, or argue with your teenager about Wi-Fi.

IN TODAY’S EPISODE, I DISCUSS:

• Why time is your most precious and non-renewable resource
• How leverage is the secret sauce for multiplying your hours and your impact
• Creating leveraged income streams that generate cash
• Why the wealthy prefer to own the stage (the assets) rather than dance on it (the labor)
• The importance of building an ecosystem of value
• Choosing to use your increasing income to buy back time
• Four practical steps to start your own Money Machine
