What is a Private Investor, and how to become one?

Now, before you become a private investor, and believe me, after this episode, you're going to literally think, why haven't I done this? And if you're already doing it, you're going to think, man, I should do it more.

I wish I could tell you that this podcast is going to be short, but it's not.

It's going to be a long one.

And this is why we're talking about your future.

We're talking about how you could do the elusive make money in your sleep.

Now, becoming a private investor is not easy.

And first and foremost, you really need to know what you're investing in.

Could becoming an educated private investor change the way you think about putting your money to work? If you're taking notes, Educated.

You want to educate yourself.

Private investing, it has fantastic rewards, but you got to make sure you know what you're getting into.

Many of us, me included, I have mutual funds.

OK, I have a retirement account.

By doing what everyone else is doing, you're going to get a retirement.

That's fine.

If the goal of your life is to retire, that's great.

The goal of my life is to create a financial legacy that will bless generations for generations.

And I'm going to be honest with you, mutual fund is just not going to do it.
