Three Guides Methodology

The TEACHER (What You Need to KNOW)

Core Principles:

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
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)
The Freedom Number
- What monthly income covers your needs?
- What covers needs + wants?
- What covers needs + wants + investment?
- Target the third number
