WWE CEO Vince McMahon Is The Most Alpha Boss Human Being Alive…

Published

on

WWE owner Vince McMahon may very well be the most #boss CEO in the world.

Not only did he turn a frowned-upon pro wrestling company into a national treasure, he catapulted it into a publicly-traded, billion-dollar juggernaut.

Not to mention, he essentially created pay-per-view—the same model that made Mike Tyson and Floyd Mayweather the highest-paid fighters ever. 

He also built the model for live streaming, which the big networks (ESPN, HBO, Fox etc.) have now copied. 

Despite all his CEOness, Vince McMahon, at his core, is a total G. One time on HBO, in his mind, he was being spoken down to by host Bob Costas.

My man Vinnie almost snaps the mug in half with his teeth. Then says, “I’m a fighter, OK? I enjoy fighting, by the way.”

Just pure machismo oozing out of his pores. 

But quite possible the single-most alpha thing McMahon has done is the way he fired his ex-champ Ultimate Warrior. And not on TV—but in real life, like a CEO of a multi-million dollar international corporation.

According to Vince, the Ultimate Warrior was demanding a $500K raise, right there, on the spot, just prior to his scheduled match with Hulk Hogan vs. a team of anti-American opponents.

“My responsibility is to present what I have advertised. My responsibility is to the audience,” McMahon said about the situation. “So I reluctantly agreed to Warrior’s demand, knowing what I was going to do as soon as he came out of the ring.”

Although later legal discoveries revealed that it actually came a full month before in a five-page long handwritten letter, which McMahon supposedly agreed to.

Still, McMahon wasn’t about to be bullied without repercussions. “It gave me great pleasure to fire him and to let him know why I was doing it.”

Soon as Warrior stepped backstage, he was presented with a BRUTAL suspension letter from Vince, splattered with alpha machismo on all sorts of levels.

The gems are plentiful and come in abundance and rapidly so.

“You’ve become a legend in your own mind; you’re certainly entitled to your opinion.”

“You’ve become impossible to work with.”

“Your behavior has become unreliable and erratic.”

Then there’s the many, many reasons why he shouldn’t be paid as well as Hulk Hogan.

Anyway, check it out.

Dear Jim:

As you know, on September 23, 1987, you signed a Booking Contract with Titan Sports. At the time you signed the Contract, you were a relatively obscure wrestler with an enthusiastic professed desire to succeed. I therefore invested a substantial amount of time, money, and a sincere energy to develop your talents and person as a worldwide WWF Superstar wrestler, such that you have been able to be successful and achieve stardom status throughout the world.

Unfortunately, it now appears the fame that you have obtained through the efforts of Titan has gone to your head. Frankly, you have become impossible to work with, and have completely forgotten your obligations to Titan and WWF fans, both ethically, professionally, and contractually.

Your principal complaint apparently is that you are not being compensated at the same rate as Hulk Hogan, although ‘Hulk’ is a living legend, is still much better known to the public, has wrestled longer, is the WWF champion, is in much greater demand for personal appearances, is a bigger star and draw at WWF events, is more dependable and is far more revered and respected by WWF fans and by the public at large.

Here’s the full letter:

How Big Real Estate Moguls Avoid Taxes (And How You Can, Too) 👀

Published

on

I was looking around Google for an old article on tax strategies and this five-year old video of myself happened to pop up.

I’m interviewing a tax expert about how real estate investors avoid paying taxes in perpetuity—AND how everyday citizens can do the same thing.

(Real estate—our TEMPLE I and TEMPLE II projects included—has a number of tax benefits savvy investors have capitalized on for years, including Opportunity Zone breaks and 10-year tax abatements.)

There’s the 1031 exchange, of course, which I’ve shared with you guys before. 

Just to refresh your memory, the 1031 Exchange allows you to roll over gains from your last project into a new property TAX FREE—as long as said property is worth the same or more.

But there’s ANOTHER TAX LOOPHOLE that can take your portfolio to an entirely new level by splitting your capital gains into MULTIPLE properties.

So I thought I’d share it with you guys. 💎

You can check it out here.

Let me know what you think. 😎

PS: In our next update, I’m going to break down how real estate moguls get paid from their properties…tax free. 👀

How I run a $300M+ business from the beach…(and how you can TOO!)

Published

on

Yes, you read that right.

If there’s anything the pandemic taught us, it’s that the paradigm of “office” and “workspace” has been shaken to its CORE.

Universities are teaching via Zoom, court dates are done virtually, FULLY REMOTE businesses are valued at $1B+, and legitimate Inc. 5000 startups are run from…wherever. 📲

This is my office for the day…

I am actually running our business from the beach, typing this from here.

It’s 4:28 pm CET, which means it’s 10:28 am EST and I am CRUSHING my to-do list.

(And the team will continue to crush it while I’m asleep. That’s the 🗝)

So how did we get here? 

We launched NYCE and our mission to create 100,000 millionaires in March, 2020…just as the global COVID-19 lockdown happened. 😳

As a result, we shut down our main office and set EVERYTHING up to run remotely…

SMOOTHLY! And a system that allows us to outperform competition by 200%. (You can build this system, too. More on this in a second.)

Here’s what we were able to do since then:

  • Gained 6M+ followers across all platforms 📈
  • Add 1500+ new apartments to the portfolio 🤑
  • Grow to $300M in real estate 🚀
  • 105% investor returns 🎉
  • 700K+ community members 🤝

And here’s the best part…

Having team members in all the main time zones gives us a 24-hour work cycle vs. 9-5/eight-hour on-the-clock performance.

This means we get 3x the productivity of a similar company. 🔥

Let me repeat that…3x PRODUCTIVITY vs. our competitors.

Meanwhile our project management software grants us 24-hour TEAM-WIDE connectivity that tracks all tasks and lets us know if productivity dips even a little bit.

There is ALWAYS someone senior awake. It could be Martin in Barcelona…Nat in New York…Vineet & Arif in New Delhi.

All the while giving YOU GUYS wealth hacks and daily content. 🔥

OK, so how can you do it?!

Well, the first step is to have an actual side hustle you’re launching. Not just an idea, a validated business.

MAJOR KEY: Do NOT spend money until you’ve made your FIRST DOLLAR! 🗝🗝🗝🗝

(You can catch a replay Business Launch masterclass here and see TRIBE member Nessa launched her business on the spot and got her first $45K client shortly after.)

One of the easiest ways to start is with Airbnb—you can start that in 10 minutes. Literally. (Here’s a guide if you need it.)

Once you have your business, you build a virtual infrastructure (you really just need two softwares, which are FREE), manage the team accordingly and run the business from there.

I’m gonna put together a step-by-step video breakdown this weekend inside the new TRIBE U on the FIVE key things you need to do this for YOURSELF. 💵 💎

From what software to use, how to build a team, how to keep.

In the meantime, drop a comment if you’re ready to build some wealth and any questions if you want more…

Let’s get to work. 🙌

PS: If you can’t be bothered with video and just wanna get to work, we’re hosting a TRIBE U workshop that will help you get this process started on the spot. It’s $479 $49. 🔥

NYCE CEO: Apps Like Robinhood Have A Responsibility To Their Young Investors

Published

on

Investor and popular Instagram influencer Philip Michael says new fintechs need to take greater responsibility for their younger traders. 

“Promoting financial literacy is a must, but encouraging risky gambling is reckless,” Philip Michael, NYCE CEO, says. 

In 2020, a 20-year-old Robinhood trader killed himself after engaging in risky options trading and seeing his balance $730,000 in the red, leading to a wrongful death lawsuit against the investment app.

“The main apps onboard as many new users as humanly possible, but there’s really no educational process,” Michael says, “and these first-time investors are left to figure things out on their own.”

NYCE—a fintech focused on creating wealth for minorities—wants to create 100,000 millionaires through real estate investments and wealth education.

Through its app, investors can own shares in apartment complexes for as little as $100.

Since launching, NYCE has set records for most new first-time BIPOC real estate owners, buying over 1500 apartments in the pandemic and splitting ownership with its investor crowd.

Once investors are in, NYCE automatically enrolls investors in an online wealth academy (TRIBE) that teaches basic wealth principles, responsible investing and how to spot irregular fads like altcoins and meme stocks.

“Becoming a millionaire is a function of time and habit, not luck and one-time scores,” Michael says. “The micro-investments are really just the gateway drug to that wealth mindset.”
