Today, we're going to talk about the concept that motion is a crucial way to build wealth. This model of growing your money is a little different from what we've all been taught.

For those of you who are new to IBC, you can probably tell many things we suggest and do are different from conventional advice. To that point, one of the biggest things is the difference between people who let money lay dormant and people who keep their money in motion. People practicing IBC put their money to work for them, while folks operating under conventional thinking let their money be lazy.

Topics Discussed:

  • What keeping money moving means
  • Why and how static money storage robs you of wealth
  • How motion means more than policy loans
  • What this means for retirement accounts and cashflow
  • What it means to really put your money to work or even do multiple jobs
  • Lesson's from Robert Kiyosaki's book titled Rich Dad Poor Dad about money
  • Understanding what banks have known for hundreds of years about money in motion
  • What it means to be your own banker
