Episode 12
START VALUING YOUR TIME INSTEAD OF TRADING IT FOR MONEY

What you’ll learn in this episode:
In this episode, Rich, Jason, and James break down why so many aspiring investors unintentionally create second jobs instead of building true passive income. They explain how undervaluing time, avoiding partnerships, and choosing busywork over strategy keeps people locked in the cycle of trading hours for dollars. They also show how you can shift to leveraging teams and letting your money—not your time—do the heavy lifting.
