I am reaching out because I would like some advice. I have had a goal and dream since I can remember, being rich and owning some sort of business but I do not know where to start. I don't want to be rich for the wrong reasons. I want to use my money as freedom for myself and to use it as a way to help others. My goal is to make 1 million by the time I am 20. I was wondering if I could have some mentorship on how I could achieve this goal. I come from a poor family so money is hard for us but I will do whatever it takes to achieve this no matter what. I hope this finds you well, thank you for your time. So, I sat down for a day to properly answer his question: What would I tell him? What advice would I give? What tactical playbook would I provide? This is my open letter to Parker—and to anyone out there with big dreams and no idea where to start... ••• This episode brought to you by: DeleteMe - DeleteMe makes it quick, easy, and safe to remove your personal data online.
