About
What if you have been lied to about money and investing? How soon would you want to find out? A sacred cow is an unquestioned belief that holds people captive and prevents them from having wealth, freedom, or their best life. Most financial books want you to believe building wealth is a game of endurance. They claim that if you just start early enough, cut back and delay long enough, or stay in it for the long haul, then one day, someday, you can have the life you have always wanted… when you retire. This dangerous dogma leads down a destructive path of disappointment. It rarely, if ever, leads to financial independence. Thankfully you have invested in yourself by getting this book. Listening to this book shows you not only what to avoid, but it also gives you permission to be successful and wealthy without guilt or sacrifice.
