It means that they are building a legacy and they want to make sure that their family is taken care of.”“When you create a margin in both the amount of money that you make, and that you spend, and then you gain this passive income, it opens up worlds that would have never been available to you before.”“One of the major things standing in the way of people being used in the capacity that God created them, like to their maximum use, if you will, their ability to serve, is to get them out of financial prison.”“I don’t want to do anything that creates more another job within my business for myself.”“Ideas are welcome, but execution is we’re worshipped around our organization.”- Jim Hoffman.“If the idea of opportunity requires more time for us, it’s a no. It doesn’t matter how big the opportunity is, if it’s going to require us to give up what we’ve worked so hard to gain, which is hours that are precious to our family and to serving others, we’re just not going to do it.”“Financial freedom, the formula to achieve it is easy. But the work to accomplish it is hard. And the formula is simply passive income greater than monthly expenses.”Connect with Russ Morgan and Joey Mure:Course:WealthWithoutWallStreet.com/Hustle Podcast: Wealth Without Wall Street podcastResources Mentioned:Becoming Your Own Banker by R.
