I had my first run in accumulating a 7-Figure Net Worth through lucrative holdings in Real Estate, the Stock Market, and International Investments.

Then the technology bubble and 9/11 happened. I also suffered 18 months of unemployment and saw about a dozen of my real estate investments go into foreclosure since I didn’t have any income and my assets were depleted.

So, in 2003, I succumbed to the trifecta of financial blunders, and I filed for bankruptcy. It’s one of several low points in my life.

My wife and I were so broke that one year we made each other Christmas cards on the back of bubble gum wrappers. We were so poor we couldn’t afford to pay attention and our TV had just two channels, ON and OFF!

Just five short years after that low point in 2003, my wife and I had accumulated over a Seven Figure Net worth with over Six Figures of mostly tax-free passive income.

How did we accelerate wealth creation to put myself in the enviable position of being financially independent at the age of 34 in 2008? I can tell you that it didn’t happen like much of the 20 something year old internet millionaires you see today.

Simply put, my wife and I took the road less travelled. Rather than settle for the safety of a job in Corporate America, I started my own company and that allowed me to 10X my prior income as an employee.

I also ignored much of what I now call the "Mom and Dad Plan". That’s all the traditional financial planning advice you got from your parents and that you get from much of the “talking heads” within the financial services industry.

As a former investment advisor and insurance professional, I can tell you that much of the financial services industry is rigged in favor of the industry and their “own.” Suffice to say that many times, the advice you get from trusted sources in this industry is not in your best interest.

I shared a lot of my discoveries and the path I used to shorten my financial independence timeline from 30 years down to 5 years in my Amazon Best Selling Book, Winning The Money Game: Separating The Myths From The Truth – Everything You Don’t Know About Achieving Financial Independence, which I released in 2012.

With more money than I knew what to do with, a best-selling book, a thriving investment and financial advisory practice, incredible TV, radio and print media exposure from my book release, it appeared that I was on top of the world.

Or was I?

I wasn’t. Internally, I was dying a slow death as the drive for even more success and accumulating more money became the only thing I lived for. Simply put, I lost my way and my identity.

So, my Father in heaven took notice and decided something had to change. That something was a series of betrayals that would wipe out multi-seven figures of wealth and eventually reduce my income to about 10% of what it once was. The “crap” started rolling down the proverbial hill in 2014.

With one of those betrayals being a classic Bernie-Madoff-Type Ponzi scheme that investment advisory clients of mine and I were victims of, this created a rather uncomfortable situation for all involved, especially since the fraudster fled the country.

Two and a half years later, I’d find out that the SEC had filed complaints against me and my companies, attempting to hold me responsible for me and my clients’ losses. That complaint would kick off an almost two-year legal battle with the SEC.

With my funds quickly being depleted by my legal defense, I’d be forced to settle my case with the SEC on a neither admit nor deny basis in 2018. I’d suffer the loss of several professional licenses, all my assets, 90% of my income and my stellar professional reputation.

On the verge of bankruptcy during the first half of 2019, by the grace of God and work with mentors and coaches, I’d end up turning things around and building a 6-Figure Coaching and Consulting practice during the last 6 months of 2019.

Today, at the end of 2021, I stand on the precipice of another incredible financial comeback over the next 5 years. The only difference is rather than going from zero to millionaire by the year 2027, I’ll end up a billionaire by then.

I could wait until then to tell the world how I became a Billionaire in 5 years but instead I’ve decided it’s a lot more fun to take several people on the journey with me as I do so. You’ll hear about some of their stories in the book and on this page.

Today, I enjoy five figures in monthly passive income. In 2022 that number will balloon to six figures in monthly passive income and by 2030 I’ll have created and raised 10,000 Billionaire Leaders as part of my purpose-driven legacy-impacting project, the Righteous Billionaire Movement.

My latest book, The Manifest Wealth Safely Method, reveals the principles and strategies that I’m using to turbo charge the vision behind the Righteous Billionaire Movement. It’s a Movement that will create people who in one word will be referred to as “world changers.”

These are people who will steward the financial and leadership capital attained within my Manifest Wealth Safely Program, to restore righteousness within the seven spheres of our culture, and to make our nation and really all nations great. It’s righteousness that exalts a nation so that must be at the foundation of every great nation.

What you’re about to learn within my book can bring you financial and time freedom like you couldn’t imagine. But, since I know having wealth without a purpose is one of the most self-destructive things you can do, I tie the wealth you are accumulating to the very reason for your being, your BIG WHY.

My BIG WHY is encompassed within the work I’m doing with the Righteous Billionaire Movement. This Manifest Wealth Safely Method Book, my Manifest Wealth Safely Program and all accompanying resources are all tools to achieve the vision of my movement.

I wish nothing more than for you to identify, clarify and be able to magnify your BIG WHY, even as you are accumulating obscene amounts of money from what you learn in this book and ideally in my program should you decide that’s a resource that could serve you, and should I decide to accept you into my program.

This book if nothing else will set you on the path to identifying and unleashing your purpose, while recognizing that there are alternative strategies you can deploy to shorten your financial independence timeline from 30 years down to as little as 2 to 5 years.
