Your wealth doesn’t grow in a straight line—it bends. And that bend gets dramatic once you cross your first $100,000. That number is a turning point that changes the velocity of your entire financial life. In this video, I break down the math and psychology behind why the first $100k is the hardest grind you'll face, and why everything accelerates violently after that tipping point. We’ll cover the 3 core principles of wealth building that you need to master: Designated Investment Capital, The Power of Scale, and Compound Interest. Plus, stick around for the end where I share the "silent wealth killer" (taxes) that ruins portfolios even after you’ve started winning. ⚠️ DISCLAIMER: This video is for educational and entertainment purposes only and should not be considered financial, investment, or legal advice.
