## Resource

Jason Hartman and Michael Zuber discuss why the average person struggles to achieve wealth, attributing it to a widespread lack of discipline and the inability to delay gratification. They argue that while modern culture and media may celebrate "loser" mentalities, individuals can still succeed by becoming elite and investing in income properties. The conversation shifts to a "confession" regarding interest rates, with both experts admitting they were wrong to predict immediate cuts due to persistent inflationary pressures and energy costs. They further analyze how global geopolitical conflicts involving Iran and China act as a "proxy war" that reshapes the world economy. Ultimately, they encourage investors to maintain a long-term perspective rather than reacting to daily news cycles, emphasizing that periods of struggle often create the best opportunities for savvy buyers. #FinancialFreedom #RealEstateInvesting #WealthBuilding #DelayGratification #StopBeingAverage #IncomeProperty #EconomicOutlook #InterestRates #Geopolitics #InvestmentStrategy #MarketTrends #EmpoweredInvestor #PersonalGrowth #GlobalOrder #FinancialDiscipline Key Takeaways: 0:00 The average American 4:19 It was cool to be a "loser" 7:02 The marshmallow test 8:41 The BEST way to get wealthy 9:57 Jason admits to being wrong 14:55 Trump and the new world order 18:12 Upcoming events: https://empoweredinvestorlive.com/ https://mastermindyachtadventures.com/ _______________________________________________________________ Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Twitter.com/JasonHartmanROI Instagram.com/jasonhartman1/ Linkedin.com/in/jasonhartmaninvestor/ Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: https://www.jasonhartman.com/ Free Class: Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for rea…
