Do you have skin in the game?

Super vulnerable share here with you here...

This week a woman (who I don't know) sent me a nasty DM.

And I want to share it with you. Not to dwell on it, not to get back at her (not sharing her name). But to share something VERY powerful that I learnt from it.

Because we all get haters at some point. Show me a great person and I will show you they have faced violent opposition from mediocre minds.

If you know my journey, you know I've gone from $20k in debt to over half a mil investment portfolio, including my $158k stock portfolio that in the last 12 months has pulled in over $26k passively.

I'm definitely not good at everything. But I'm good at money. And I'm good at investing.

And a few years back, people started noticing. I had women come to me wanting to learn how to do the same thing. And that is how the company Ms Wealthy was born. I now teach the exact investing system through my signature online program with VIP group support. My members love it, and I love them.

And so, to share this transformative program the world, I promote it.

So when this message came in from the unknown woman saying "If you really made that much money in investing you wouldn't have to sell a program to do it"... I was shocked. I won't lie, that comment did hurt... until I realised it is a refection of her. Not me....

So, what did I take away from the comment?

Well, for starters...I don't see $26k or $158k or even half a mil as being "that much money". It's a start...but not even close to where I'm going. So to begin with, we have VERY different money blueprints.

And second... I know my success formula.

I know paying for expert knowledge will show me how to shortcut my success and get me where I want to go faster. Because I didn't get where I am today without help. Without paying for experts to show me the way.

Why wouldn't I? They have the secrets.

I knew nothing to begin with (clearly, in debt at 20... cause we're not taught how to manage money in school). I didn't magically become a money magician (failed the math unit in my degree and had to repeat it).

I watched TED talks and and videos on YouTube, listened to podcasts and read countless books to learn and grow.

But at some point, I had to get real about what I was doing with all that information. Because just consuming information was getting me nowhere.

I wasn't making more money, wasn't building wealth, wasn't taking action.

When I finally invested in learning from experts, my life started taking quantum leaps. By investing in expert knowledge to show the way, I got the path to success. I got the proven steps from a mentor who had what I wanted.

Just as Warren Buffet says, "When it comes to business and investing, you've got to have skin the game."  You da man, Buffet.

When I pay for knowledge...whether it's coaching, a program, an event... I PAY ATTENTION. Because I have skin in the game.

So I have two questions for you:

1. What's your money blueprint? Do you see half a mil as being heaps of money, or just a start?

2. Do you have skin in the game towards what you're working on? Who are your mentors, trainers and guides in life that shortcut your success?

You know mine, you can call me "Simone half a mil is not that much money Huggins"
