Austin Netzley - Make Money, Live Wealthy

At the age of 27, I retired.

I didnt come from money, win the lottery, or sell a start-up company. What I did doand what you can do, toowas learn some fundamentals on how to build wealth and then implement those practices into my life. The result has been a lot of money, but more importantly, it has also been something much more valuable: true wealth.

In this book, I intend to share how you, too, can get the same results.

Although I built my wealth quickly, I started out far from rich. Fresh out of college, I had an engineering degree and a lot of ambition, but I was held back by $80,000 of debt and a middle-class mindset.

A few years into my chosen career, I started to read and network religiously. With each connection I made and every chapter I read, a whole new world opened up to meone that promised I could achieve anything and become as rich as I chose to be. My mindset and perspective changed day after day, and my level of confidence and knowledge quickly grew to new heights.

I not only learned what wealth really is, but I also learned how to obtain it. While still working for the corporation, I started to invest heavily in the stock market and eventually began my first side-business. I grew that income stream and built up a large fund, and at 27, I was able to retire to travel the world and do as I please.

The money is great, but the most valuable thing I gained is complete freedom. I went from being totally stressed out and my own worst enemy to having peace of mind, confidence, and happiness.

However, this book is not about me at allit is for you. It was written to show how you can build massive wealth and create the life of your dreams.

To help share some of the secrets of wealth I was fortunate enough to learn, I started YoPro Wealth, a blog and online radio show (called a podcast) dedicated to teaching people around the world what true wealth is and how to obtain it.

For the podcast, I interviewed iconic investors, bestselling authors, super successful entrepreneurs, financial planners, and other experts from all different walks of life on the subjects of money and success. The guests shared their journeysthe good and the bad, the ups and the downsand the evolution they went through on their way to wealth. Shortly after starting, I began to recognize commonalities between them. The details of their stories were different, but they had all taken the same sequential steps, one after the next.

This book is a compilation of those stories, failures, successes, and advice from a total of 75 experts. It breaks down the wisdom they shared into ten simple steps that led each of them to true wealth. If you take these steps, you will obtain wealth in your life as well.

The good news about true wealth is thisit doesnt matter where you are in life or where youve been; you can get to where you want to go. Anybody can! I know this is true because the 75 experts who shared their stories on the YoPro Wealth podcast are no different from you or me. They have problems, challenges, mistakes, and flaws just like everyone else.

It doesnt matter where you are in life.

J. Massey started his real estate career while squatting in a house he lost to the bank. He and his pregnant (and seriously ill) wife didnt have enough cash to eat for the next week, and J. himself had a punctured lung. Yet he started his new career and is now a sought-after real estate investorpreneur .

It doesnt matter where you come from.

Im a simple kid from Iran. I lived there during the revolution in 1989, and then I spent several years in a refugee camp in Germany. - Patrick Bet-David, serial entrepreneur and author of Doing the Impossible

It doesnt matter how much money you have.

David Wood went from being essentially broke to owning an island in just over a decade.

It doesnt matter what your degree is.

Ryan Holiday dropped out of college at 19 and became American Apparels director of marketing at age 21.

And it sure doesnt matter what your age is.
