In this podcast, we dive deeper into the wealth elevator concept, discussing how you can build your wealth through astute property investments. After launching our podcast in 2016 from the first floor of the wealth elevator (small rental properties), we discuss the journey to becoming a passive investor, advancing through the floors and entering the penthouse level. We tackle the 'end game' - becoming financially free with enough passive income to comfortably cover monthly expenses (between $10k-$25k). For some, reaching this level entails re-examining the traditional ways of investing and making informed shifts towards alternative investments. Join us as we explore this multi-faceted journey, offering insights from our supportive ecosystem of first-generation millionaires, strategies on achieving the 'end game', and the satisfaction of knowing you've successfully set up multiple financial generations behind you.00:00 Introduction to the Wealth Elevator Podcast00:18 Journey from the First Floor to the Penthouse Level00:46 Defining the End Game in Wealth Building01:14 The Importance of Passive Income02:13 Transitioning to Traditional Investments at the Penthouse Level02:42 The Journey of First-Generation Millionaires02:59 The Role of Alternative Investments in Wealth Accumulation04:38 The Impact of Wealth on Family and Legacy Planning05:26 The Role of Education in Wealth Preservation05:52 Investing in Non-Correlated Assets at the Penthouse Level07:17 The Transition to Traditional Investments at Higher Net Worth Levels09:08 The Importance of Community in Wealth Building09:44 The Role of Happiness and Giving Back in Wealth Management09:53 The Importance of Financial Freedom and Education11:13 The Journey Beyond the Eight-Figure Threshold12:33 The Role of Traditional Investments in Wealth Preservation14:46 The Journey to Financial Freedom and Enjoying Life15:17 The Importance of an Abundance Mindset in Wealth Management16:10 Conclusion and Invitation to Join the Wealth Elevator Journey Hosted on Acast.
