Quotes:

“I’ve watched my parents work multiple jobs. I've watched them work so hard to earn one dollar. And so the thought of money multiplying using other money was mind blowing. And so at that time I decided, ‘I'm going to double down, and instead of doing $200 a month, I’m going to do $400 a month.’”

“It doesn’t matter how much financial literacy you take in. If you don’t identify your relationship with money and how toxic it can be, then you’re not going to be able to build wealth. I feel like it is almost impossible. If you really believe that wealthy people are greedy, then your subconscious will do everything to repel becoming wealthy because you don’t want to be greedy.”
