The Real Reason Most People Can’t Keep Wealth
Paul shares a real story about his first big month in business—when excitement turned into a reality check once taxes and cash flow hit. The lesson? Wealth isn’t about what you make. It’s about what you keep, protect, and grow quietly behind the scenes.
🔑 Key takeaways:
Making money is loud; keeping money is quiet.
Wealth grows through habits, discipline, and smart margins.
Avoid “wealth leaks” like impulsive spending and pride-driven decisions.
Peace and patience protect wealth more than flashy moves ever will.
Live below your peak and let assets, not ego, do the heavy lifting.
The people who keep wealth respect it. They play the long game, make data-driven choices, and stay steady through every season.
🎧 Tune in now to learn how to protect your financial gains and build lasting stability—without losing peace or purpose.

My first big month felt like a movie, guys, where I made my first six figures, okay?
I spent like the credits would never roll.
Then taxes show up and cash flow dipped.
I learned the hard truth in a kind way.
Making money is loud.
Keeping money is quiet.
Keeping money is about habits, not hype.
It is about margin, not flex.
It is about long games, not quick highs.
Wealth leaks through small cracks.
Impulse actually buys.
Pride moves.
Loose deals.
Those leaks sink ships over time.
Keeping wealth means letting peace lead the plan, guys.
It means letting numbers lead feelings.
It means letting future you have a voice today.
This is true for a paycheck or a business owner.
Live a little below your peak.
Build buffers for storms because there is always seasons.
Choose assets that work while you sleep.
Respect the boring parts of money.
They are the parts that will protect you.
Money will come and go in seasons.
Your choices can stay steady.
Your values can stay strong.
Your name can stay clean.
Teach your heart to enjoy enough.
Teach your mind to enjoy patience.
Teach your hands to enjoy purpose.
So what's the moral of this pod, guys?
Wealth stays with people who respect it.
