When I first started college, I decided that I wanted to become a master of the money game....
...meaning I never wanted money to become an issue.
It was obvious that the only way to do this was to become an entrepreneur
So, in the span of 2 years, I launched 6 different businesses
while some had some success, most of them failed However, the entire time I was launching businesses, I was learning about marketing, how to structure a business, and most importantly, I was learning about the money game
As I've already mentioned on this channel, the 7th business I launched was my Investment Funds, and the 8th was Investment Fund Secrets
...and both of these business models is what made me a millionaire by 25.
However, the whole time I was playing a much bigger game
and that game is the Money Game.
Want to learn how to play?
Well, you should definitely check out today's episode🔥

That decision is up to you However, it's important to plan out how you are going to distribute the equity of your fund!

For those who don't know, DAO stands for Decentralized Autonomous Organization, and they are continuing to explode (and crash) as crypto becomes more & more popular

241. Should You Use Third Party Admins For Your Fund?
🔥Make sure you grab tickets to Fund Launch Live 2022 ($150 Off)🔥 Get your tickets here: https://www.fundlaunchlive.com/2022
A question that I get a lot from my students is "should I have a third party admin for my fund?"
Well, if we were having this discussion in the pre-Bernie Madoff days, most fund managers would say no, it's okay to do all of your numbers in-house
However, after Bernie Madoff stole billions from his investors over multiple decades, most fund managers (and investors) would say yes, you should definitely have a third party admin set up for your fund
This being said, there are still a few exceptions where it's acceptable to not have a third party admin
We will be talking about this and much more in today's episode

218. How To Win Your First Investor
Back when I first got started in entrepreneurship, one of my mentors told me that the first million dollars I make will be the hardest...
...well, that also applies to pitching investors as well😅
For some, they will land the first investor they pitch. For most, it will take 10, 20, or even 50 pitches before they win that first investment
This is exactly why my dad never invested in my first fund!
He wanted me to go through the process of trial and error so that I could land my first investor on my own, which would make every other pitch in the future much easier
However, you don't really need to go through all of the trial and error I did Luckily, Lincoln is hoping on today to break down some tips to win your first investor🔥
Because once you land the first one, every other will be a little less difficult🤑

215. BIG Changes Coming To NFTs In 2022 (Actually Urgent)
NFTs have been absolutely exploding over the last year... but in my opinion, they have only just gotten started.
We've seen early NFT projects like CryptoPunks and Board Apes Yacht Club sell tokens for 7+ figures which kind of makes it seem like it is too late to get started
But I think there are some BIG changes coming to the crypto and NFT world in 2022 and beyond
There have already been pioneer projects like ZED RUN that have combined cryptocurrency, NFTs, and gambling, which has taken the market of NFTs way past digital art.
Will this trend continue? or are we in a bubble that is going to pop any day?
Listen to todays episode to hear my thoughts🔥
