Three Guides Methodology

The TEACHER (What You Need to KNOW)

Core Principles:

1. Revenue vs. Wealth (Different Games)

   • Revenue: What you earn this year
   • Wealth: What you keep and grow over time
   • High revenue doesn’t guarantee wealth
   • Wealth buys freedom; revenue buys lifestyle

2. The Creator’s Revenue Stack

   • Trading time for money (1:1, low leverage)
   • Productized services (1:few, medium leverage)
   • Digital products (1:many, high leverage)
   • Assets and investments (0:∞, passive)

3. The Freedom Number

   • What monthly income covers your needs?
   • What covers needs + wants?
   • What covers needs + wants + investment?
   • Target the third number
