Ryan Leslie: This Is The Simple Method To Building Generational Wealth: 'Eighth Wonder Of The World'

[@Madnes99]

This is a supersmart guy. Don't forget he graduated from Harvard at 19.

[@keshawoods1711]

He graduated at 14.

[@luckylavar9051]

​@@keshawoods1711He attended Harvard College, graduating at the age of 19 with a degree in government, concentrating in political science and macroeconomics.

[@Fourtune1]

Never knew that. He’s always been smart so that makes sense.

[@lulo1951]

He's just selling a product.

[@secretaryofstate1]

But what did he use the degree for

[@dirkgoldman1155]

His clips from the early youtube years where he is in the record studio and solo played each instrument while dancing like no one is watching are still fire. Legend 🔥

Creating wealth entails establishing positive routines, I had only $78k to my name at 42 when I first woke up to this reality. I chose the stock market as a medium of growth, got an excellent financial advisor, Financial management is a vital subject that many avoid, often leading to future regrets.

[@Raymondcraw1967RaymondCrawley]

Indeed, currently I'm managing my finances wisely and being frugal. In the last 19 months, my investments grew by 43%, adding over $500K in profits. However, I've had losses in the past month, making me anxious. I'm unsure whether to sell everything or wait.

[@AndersonFair-cy2bb]

No doubt, having the right plan is invaluable, my portfolio is well-matched for every season of the market and recently hit 100% rise from early last year. I and my CFP are working on a 7 figure ballpark goal, tho this could take till Q3 2024.

[@Dantursi1]

Successful investing is hard work because it means disciplining your mind to do the opposite of human nature. Buying during a panic, selling during euphoria, and holding on when you are bored and just craving a little action. Investing is 5% intellect and 95% temperament.

[@Rachadrian]

Government policy has thrown the future under the bus for decades. The day of judgment is near. I predict an 80% drop in the stock market. Investors will abandon stocks in favor of real estate. There will be no money in banks... You must devise a strategy for survival.

[@michaelschiemer3]

Since the outbreak of 2020, which significantly affected the market, I've been consulting an investment coach before making any investment decisions because their entire philosophy is built around employing a high-profit orientated plan while simultaneously trading long and short, as well as decreasing risk exposure as a hedge against inevitable downtrends. When coupled with their access to odd data and analysis, underperformance is virtually impossible.

Absolutely; I agree !!! Instead of wasting money on Pricey kid’s birthdays, Jordans, Yeezy sneakers, brand new vehicles & all the material 💩 we don’t really need ; most of us (middle class) should prioritize investing Money 💰 early in our careers & right out of college (early 20s) . If we all got smarter with how with spend, save & Invest money, our community would be very well set !!! They need to teach financial literacy & investing in all high schools 💯💯

Building generational takes a lot of sacrifices and that is what a lot of us are not willing to do. I put in 20k into various assets last year and flipped into six figures within a few months and still going. I’ve always been an advocate of investing because it has been rather rewarding. I hope to attain financial freedom soon. One more thing, I always look forward to your content keep up the good work.

[@Sithembile499]

You can’t overlook the fact that it’s paramount not to get greedy but to remain invested through careful study, if not you can lose it all.

[@Novakissla]

I have some money saved from day job. I have no idea where or how to invest. How are you doing it, Leon?

[@Christensen554]

It’s not rocket science. As I said previously, I got into stocks, index funds, and REITs, myself but wasn't getting the results I wanted the first couple of months. Got tired of losing and decided to seek mentorship from Jonas Herman, a certified fiduciary who helps oversee my investments.

[@OlineFarms]

@@Christensen554 While it may sound enticing, it is important to understand that stocks, like a fine wine or a Monet, has no standardized value. You look all good on the outside, while you wait till almost death to enjoy your wealth which presents an enormous economic(uncertainty) risk.

[@Aengel9]

Over the years, I've been part of numerous investment programs, sifting through a barrage of information. Yet, none comes close to the sheer clarity, depth, and precision of Herman’s instructions and insights. It's akin to finding a diamond in the dirt.

Rule of 72 /compound interest - he's correct that most aren't fully aware. I'm a financial literacy advocate and teach it as well - what I've come across is that most don't want to learn or have little patience to learn because they want the results fast through minimal work. Indices (index) tend to be viewed as conservative growth because of its cap/floor and "less sexy" than stocks and mutual funds. Be aware that compounding interest can also work against you when it comes to revolving debt.

So proud of him. I Love watching his older work on KZbin, showing the process of production and see his love for it shine. Always loved his singing, Promise Not to Call, Irina, Gibberish, Diamond girl are just a few I really love by him as a singer. Never worry one bit about him, when I don't see him as active. With Ryan, we always can count on him doing something productive somewhere and not out and about up to no good. He is one of the few that can go M.I.A and not worry something bad happened. It just tells me he is in creative mode and something good is on the way. 👍🏿 Will definitely be taking 📝 for the gems he is about drop. ❤

[@musiqsoulstar06]

What isnt everybody doing it? A mixed bag of reasons. 1) never introduced, 2) not interested, 3) intimidated or just overwhelmed by the optics and data (loss, ups and down of market, etc) , 4) prioritizations of the short term over the long term 5) not feeling like they make enough fast enough 6) not thinking they have or make enough to invest. 7) not a strong financial literacy or basic principles to allow space for it. The needs managed by the basics overshadow the next step of investing. 8) trauma from financial mistakes Overall like he said fear, greed, and ego.

[@myca9305]

Ryan has always thought outside the box, big fan and investor of SuperPhone.
