If I Wanted to Go From $0 to $100M, I’d Do This [FULL GUIDE]

About this video

This is a compilation of nine videos Martell calls the most important he has made, introduced with his claim that he was broke and in rehab at 17, a cash millionaire by age 27, and now owns businesses generating over $100 million a year. Section one covers 14 rules of money, including spend less than you make, pay yourself first, focus instead of diversifying, keep a rip-cord budget, give to get, minimize borrowing, seek asymmetrical risk, avoid lifestyle creep, build a personal P&L, treat money as a tool not the goal, and define your why. Section two is a conversation with Tony Robbins about his book The Holy Grail of Investing, covering don’t lose money, asset allocation, asymmetrical risk/reward, GP stakes, private credit and sports team ownership, and Ray Dalio’s idea that 8 to 12 uncorrelated investments can reduce risk 80%. Later sections cover the buyback principle and replacement ladder, the four leverage skills — capital, code, content and collaboration — transformational leadership and the 1-3-1 rule, a month-by-month path from zero to a million in 12 months starting with a high-income skill, the best businesses to start in 2024 ranked by gross margin from product to software, a conversation with Cody Sanchez, 10 books that will make you rich, best investments including index funds, real estate, collectibles, intellectual property and yourself, and a closing Q&A on accountability, value, purpose, legacy and wealth.
