 Hey, welcome back. In this video, I want to talk about the number one investment that I've made that's made more than all of my other investments combined. That includes stocks and NFTs and crypto and anything else out there. Now, this is going to be especially important if you are making less than 100k a year. It's going to still be important if you're if you're making over that, but especially if you're making less than six figures, you're going to want to watch this video. So if you watch it to the end, you're going to know what that number one investment is that's made more than all of my other investments combined and how to start making these 1000x, 10,000x gains like I have on this investment.

And with that said, let's jump into the video right now. So right now in the world that we live in, there are so many different options for you to invest where you can put $100 in and potentially get $200, $1000, $10,000 out. There are things like cryptocurrency and Bitcoin and altcoins and NFTs and stocks and dividends and real estate investments. So there are all these different ways where you can put money in, you can invest in something and you can make a return back from that. And while many of these things can work and can make you a lot of money in the long run, if you're smart about it, I don't think it's the best place to start, especially if you are under 100k per year. And the reason is you might be spending your time looking at all these different shiny objects and investments and researching these things and spending hours and hours of your time trying to guess what's going to take off, what's the best stock or what's the best real estate investment you can get into or best cryptocurrency. And a lot of these things are based on speculation, right? You're making a guess on is this going to take off, is it going to make me more money than what I put in. And it's great if you win, you know, if you make a lot of money, that's awesome. But if you lose all that time you spent researching and putting in guesses and especially if you're not making that much money, you're going to lose that money. And also you're going to lose all that time you spent researching and trying to guess which of these investments are going to take off. The other thing is if you're not making a decent paycheck and you're not making consistent money, you're not going to have much money to invest. And that means you're not going to have much money to grow and multiply through investments. So what do I recommend instead? What is that number one investment that I've made that's made more than all of my other investments combined? The number one investment that I've made is in skills that increase my income. Now this is especially important if you're making less than 100K per year and you need to be investing in skills that increase your income because if you want to start investing in other things that are more speculative like stocks and crypto and real estate, you need money to invest in these things. If you don't have money, you're not going to be able to invest in those things. Maybe you can put a hundred bucks in it, but it's not going to be worth the time that you're spending researching and trying to guess what's going to take off. Now I have multiple six figures invested in different things like stocks and crypto and Bitcoin and Ethereum and altcoins, even some NFTs and looking to get into real estate and buying businesses as well. But the only reason I have the money to invest in these things is because I continue to increase my income every single year. If I didn't invest in these skills that could help me to increase my income year after year, I would not have the money to invest in these other more speculative investment vehicles. So for example, in 2016 I was running my e-com stores and I invested into learning a skill around email marketing. So how to write emails that sell. And I bought courses and coaching and I read a ton of books. I read a lot of articles, watched videos on how to learn email marketing and how to write better emails that generate more sales. So I invested a ton of my own time and money and resources and energy into learning this skill of email marketing, but it's paid off in a huge way. It helped me to grow my e-commerce stores to 250k plus per month. It actually helped me to sell those stores in 2018. I also used it to build a multiple six figure year agency and consultancy. And now I'm using it to sell multiple six figures a year of my own information products and educational products. So if I were to look at all the money that I spent and the time and energy that I spent learning this money making skill of email marketing and the amount of revenue it's generated for me and the amount of impact it's had on my life, it's easily a 10,000 x gain. And the cool thing is this is a skill I'm going to have for life. I'm going to profit from this skill for life. No one can take this away from me and I'm going to continue to earn from this year after year after year. You just don't get that kind of return where you're getting paid for life over and over again on more speculative investments. Now let's take one more example. Let's say that you're making around 50k per year and instead of just picking these stocks and picking all these coins to invest in, you spend most of it investing into courses and coaching programs and investing in learning a money making skill. And let's just use the example of email marketing and you practice this skill over 12 months. You get better at this skill and within 12 months you double your income to 100k per year. Now you have 50k per year more to invest in things like stocks and crypto and NFTs and real estate and all these other things. So I hope you see how that works, right? Increasing your income and investing in skills that help you increase your income is the best investment that you can make especially if you are under six figures a year. Before you invest in things like crypto and stocks and altcoins and NFTs and real estate, invest in skills that are going to increase your income so that you have more money to invest in those things and so that you have skills that can pay you over and over for the rest of your life, right? No one can take skills and knowledge that you have away from you.
