"You have to know what you're willing to give up to get where you want to go. A lot of that is mindset. You have to make sacrifices. Every dollar that we earned went into our own self-enhancement, like doing a course or learning from someone who had the knowledge in the area we wanted to specialize in. Once that paid off, then we were able to invest money back into our business. We were still broke, we were making money, but we were spending it all back into ourselves and our business. Then, we started to hire out, because no empire can be built alone. You will have to depend on somebody if you intend to build an empire. You can't do everything. You have to see the people you hire as investments. Finally, when we had enough money left over, we invested it in income-producing properties that produced cash-flow every single month, and that's what funded our lifestyle. Now even as billionaires, we don't violate those principles, we spend earned income only in enhancing ourselves."
