Transcripts

kasim:

I wanna talk to you about money.

kasim:

Money's an uncomfortable topic for so many reasons and for so many

kasim:

people which is really frustrating, especially as young entrepreneur.

kasim:

Cause nobody would ever talk to me about it.

kasim:

And if you're not raised with or in or around money financial literacy

kasim:

is hard to pick up by osmosis.

kasim:

You have to be very intentional with it.

kasim:

I believe very strongly that getting good at the game of money is the most important

kasim:

game an entrepreneur can be good at.

kasim:

It's the most important thing you can learn.

kasim:

Everything else falls into place when you're good with money.

kasim:

You could have bad business ideas and still be successful

kasim:

because you're good with money.

kasim:

Cuz even bad business ideas yield some level of result, and after

kasim:

a certain number of at bats, you'll land in the right space.

kasim:

I'd rather be good with money and bad at ideas than good

kasim:

at ideas and bad with money.

kasim:

We've all seen those people.

kasim:

They're related to some of them.

kasim:

Getting good at the game of money is the most important thing you can learn.

kasim:

I've noticed too about outstanding successes is most of the great

kasim:

successes I've had access to personally.

kasim:

Most of the people that I've seen really take off didn't do so until

kasim:

after they achieved financial freedom.

kasim:

very often we think that financial freedom comes from great success.

kasim:

But what I think is great success is allowed through financial freedom.

kasim:

And financial freedom doesn't mean billions of dollars.

kasim:

It's not yacht money.

kasim:

It's never have to worry money.

kasim:

it's statistically, if you're in North America, it's 75 K US a month.

kasim:

Excuse me, 75 K US a year is what they say.

kasim:

Once you're making 75 grand a year more money doesn't make you happier.

kasim:

I don't know if that's true or not.

kasim:

You don't even have to have that number in your head, but what's the

kasim:

amount of money that you would need to have in order to never worry again?

kasim:

incidentally, this is where things get a little bit awkward.

kasim:

People shouldn't talk about things they don't know.

kasim:

And so I'm not saying this to posture.

kasim:

I'm saying this because I want to offer some authority in the space.

kasim:

I have achieved financial freedom.

kasim:

To a tune that puts me in the top 1% of the world, both in terms

kasim:

of income and net worth and never have to worry about money again.

kasim:

You wouldn't know it though if you hung out with me.

kasim:

I drive a Hyundai, my house is nice, but it's, modest for my tax bracket.

kasim:

And that's part of the point.

kasim:

When I was a young man I started my business when I was 19, going on 20.

kasim:

And it was pretty successful, almost right away.

kasim:

It had nothing to do with me.

kasim:

It was an amazing economy.

kasim:

I started my business right when, I mean, people were buying everything.

kasim:

it was unbelievable.

kasim:

I'm making more money than I should have been making at the time.

kasim:

No idea what to do with it.

kasim:

I bought the house on the hill.

kasim:

I had an idiot's car.

kasim:

I always picked up the check no matter who we were with or

kasim:

how many people were there.

kasim:

I was wearing really expensive clothes.

kasim:

I was getting my hair cut.

kasim:

I got my hair cut back then I was getting my hair cut at a place in the mall.

kasim:

It was Tony and Guy.

kasim:

I'm getting my hair cut.

kasim:

I don't know if y'all know Tony and Guy.

kasim:

I don't know how big they are or if they're franchise or not.

kasim:

But it was like 150 bucks by the time I was done getting my hair cut.

kasim:

So stupid.

kasim:

And then the economy collapsed around me and my whole world disintegrated.

kasim:

And I learned very quickly, like, that's not my house, that's the bank's house.

kasim:

they were quick to remind me of that when I stopped making payments

kasim:

houses were closed on, car was repossessed, lost everything.

kasim:

Had to lay off everybody that worked for me in a day.

kasim:

Horrible, horrible experience.

kasim:

And think about the disadvantage I put them in.

kasim:

Too, because I wasn't responsible again as a young man.

kasim:

This happened when I was 22, so I had two years of being just a douche bag.

kasim:

And what was shocking to me is how many other people were like that.

kasim:

I live in Scottsdale, Arizona, it's beautiful.

kasim:

I love it.

kasim:

But there's a lot of, what we call 30,000 millionaires.

kasim:

With 30 grand, you can make yourself look like you're a millionaire.

kasim:

And I saw so many people just evaporate.

kasim:

I was one of them.

kasim:

And I'm trolling Costco on an expired Costco card, eating the

kasim:

free tryouts on the weekends.

kasim:

That's how I'm eating, and I have no.

kasim:

No prospect for the future, and it was the best thing that's ever

kasim:

happened to me ever because it taught me how important money is.

kasim:

It's a tool.

kasim:

It's not the root of all evil.

kasim:

it's not something to be coveted or, chased as a means or an end to itself,

kasim:

any more than any other tool, right?

kasim:

Like, you don't wanna hoard nails, but you need nails to build a house.

kasim:

Money is the tool that entrepreneurs use, and there are two types of money.

kasim:

Here's the advice that I'm gonna give you.

kasim:

There's two types of money.

kasim:

isn't my advice incidentally.

kasim:

This is just the best advice that I've ever been given, and I wish I knew where

kasim:

I got it, or I'd properly attribute it.

kasim:

The first type of money is money that your time buys you.

kasim:

I call this slave money.

kasim:

You might not like that moniker.

kasim:

I think that's exactly what it is, by the way.

kasim:

I think it's literal slavery.

kasim:

It's indentured servitude.

kasim:

The money your time buys you the time for money.

kasim:

Trade is a horrible trade.

kasim:

It's horrible trade, but we all have to do it in the beginning

kasim:

unless you're born into money.

kasim:

So your slave money, the money your time buys you, it's bought with your life force

kasim:

it's bought at, a dear, dear, dear Price.

kasim:

You are not allowed to use this for anything other than the

kasim:

absolute necessities of life.

kasim:

think of that, the song It was the Disney movie, Robinhood the Burn Necessities.

kasim:

You can only use your slave money for the absolute necessities, this by the

kasim:

way, means making really hard choices.

kasim:

My wife and I had one car for a couple of years.

kasim:

That's tough, especially living in a city that's not walkable.

kasim:

We lived in this little teeny tiny shoebox apartment on the second

kasim:

floor in Phoenix, Arizona where the.

kasim:

Temperature gets 125 degrees.

kasim:

Not having a garage is a really big deal.

kasim:

You know, you get out into the car and it's literally, and people

kasim:

are baking cookies in their dash.

kasim:

They do it on TikTok all the time.

kasim:

It's so fun to watch.

kasim:

Those are the sacrifices that we made.

kasim:

Decade old car.

kasim:

It's paid off.

kasim:

So little shoebox apartment.

kasim:

I owned it.

kasim:

Free and clear.

kasim:

The money that your time buys, you.

kasim:

You can only spend on the bare necessities.

kasim:

Now, live in a safe place.

kasim:

Obviously.

kasim:

Make sure you're in a good school district for your kiddos.

kasim:

Eat organic food.

kasim:

Do the things that aren't gonna cost you long term, but

kasim:

don't keep up with the Joneses.

kasim:

The money that your time buys you, your slave money can only

kasim:

buy the bare necessities and, things that make you money.

kasim:

Things that make you money.

kasim:

when you get your slave money, I'm gonna cover the bare necessities

kasim:

and then I'm gonna go buy other things that make me money.

kasim:

Which by the way, in the very beginning is your own business.

kasim:

Invest in your own business, invest in advertising, invest in really

kasim:

good hires, really good people.

kasim:

Invest in other businesses.

kasim:

If you want to invest in real estate you'd be shocked at how easy you can get into

kasim:

a single family home as a rental and how easy that is for a bank to underwrite.

kasim:

Now, be careful about speculating.

kasim:

That's not what I'm saying to do, but buy things that make you money

kasim:

and what you'll find is you end up putting yourself in a position.

kasim:

I'm in this little shoebox apartment that's paid off.

kasim:

I got this little 10 year old Hyundai, it was paid off.

kasim:

Now I didn't look nearly as cool as my friends, you know, and I had some

kasim:

friends that were flying high man, they're running agencies about my size

kasim:

and they're living in great big houses, and they've got, the Mercedes and they're

kasim:

going on these crazy opulent trips.

kasim:

But I could hire people they couldn't afford to hire, you know, Hey, I think

kasim:

this guy's gonna be really good, but he's gonna take a little bit longer to train.

kasim:

I've got it.

kasim:

No big deal.

kasim:

I could turn down projects that I didn't wanna work on.

kasim:

I could turn down clients that were mean, or, just didn't wanna work

kasim:

with, I could make investments in myself and in my people that other

kasim:

people couldn't make because I, got really good at the game of money.

kasim:

And then over time, the things that I invested in, Other businesses,

kasim:

my own business, real estate.

kasim:

I never made money in the stock market.

kasim:

All I ever did was lose money that started making me more money than my time made me.

kasim:

And that flip y'all like, it's so funny cuz you hear all these people

kasim:

like, oh, money doesn't buy happiness.

kasim:

Those people don't know what they're talking about.

kasim:

Money buys time.

kasim:

Buys time with my kids.

kasim:

How is that Not happiness.

kasim:

Buy his options.

kasim:

It buys freedom.

kasim:

It buys the ability to do things for other people.

kasim:

I've been gifted with the ability to do things for folks that have been

kasim:

life changing for me and for them.

kasim:

So I'm not, sitting here espousing all the virtues of money.

kasim:

I'm espousing virtues.

kasim:

That can be amplified by money.

kasim:

Having money just shows you who somebody is.

kasim:

You know, if they're a douche bag, they'll be more of a douche bag.

kasim:

If they're a good person, they'll be more of a good person.

kasim:

Get good at the game of money.

kasim:

There's two types of money.

kasim:

There's your slave money.

kasim:

It's money your time buys you.

kasim:

It's precious.

kasim:

Your time is precious.

kasim:

Invest it.

kasim:

Then there's your freedom money.

kasim:

And here's the thing, I'm not wealth shaming.

kasim:

You want a Mercedes.

kasim:

The money your money buys you, you can do whatever you want with that.

kasim:

You can get one Mercedes for every day of the week and two on

kasim:

Tuesday, each in a different coat.

kasim:

Whatever you want.

kasim:

I don't care.

kasim:

The money your time buys, you cost you your life.

kasim:

The money your money buys you.

kasim:

That's a game now.

kasim:

That's a game you can get really good at.

kasim:

And the money your money buys you.

kasim:

It amplifies, it quantifies, Einstein is, quoted with saying something

kasim:

like compound interest is the eighth one of the world or whatever.

kasim:

it's unbelievable when you actually experience, I think it's Matthew's

kasim:

law to those who have much more will be given get good at the game

kasim:

of money no matter where you are.

kasim:

Like, this is a game that everybody can play.

kasim:

It takes a little humility.

kasim:

It takes not.

kasim:

Wanting to keep up with the Jones's or pick up the check or,

kasim:

I mean, maybe you sack your lunch.

kasim:

But if you do that, you don't have to do that for very long.

kasim:

You know, I mean, 10 years isn't very long.

kasim:

It's an unbelievable payoff with unbelievable opportunities.

kasim:

Anyway, now I'm evangelizing and preaching a little bit.

kasim:

I hope this is helpful.

kasim:

rooting for you.
