I remember it like it was yesterday. I was sitting in the wooden pews in the 6th row of the Catholic church. The priest had just done incense and my dad got up to do the ushering service. Between all the Latin and hearing about money and hell, I knew I didn’t understand something.

The priest told us some things we can never know and that we have to wait until we die, but I knew I didn’t want to wait until I die. 32 years later, I was living in an 8-million-dollar house in the Hollywood Hills.

It was a long way from Lake Charles, Lousiana where that Catholic church sat. My mom came to visit and we went to Ralph’s (the local supermarket) and she saw beans were $1.69. “I can get these for a quarter in Lake Charles,” she would say. She also complained about the cost of artichokes, which were maybe $6.

By that time I had made so much money I couldn’t screw it all up on beans and artichokes.

I grew up in a home that clipped coupons and my mom could never escape that scarcity mentality. She didn’t know about abundance, she just knew how to contract (decrease in size) and save money. This is why I grew up throughout my teen years in a brick house with one small window. There was no view.

Today, I’m on the 33rd floor of the Regalia in Miami that has 200 window panels giving me a panoramic 360-degree view from my place and my entire Eastern view is the Atlantic Ocean. I’m not bragging, I’m just showing you that anything is possible, no matter how much — or little — you start with. Below is a short video giving you a sneak peak inside my place:

And how did I go from where I came from to where I am today?

Knowledge.

They say knowledge is power — well… it’s true. Everything you ever want, you are just a piece of knowledge away from obtaining.

Do you want to do better in some area in life? Get some knowledge about it. Do you want 10,000 BTC? get some knowledge about how to make money so you can but more BTC.

I know you want more — and that’s normal. Wanting more money and more success just means you have the right mindset to make it happen. There are difficulties in the way though, believe me I know.

People telling you that money isn’t everything
You don’t know how to make more sales than you already are making
You’re not sure how to invest the savings you do have
Starting — or growing — a business just seems too risky

These things STOP many people from creating the massive success they secretly long for. I’ve experienced all the delays and pitfalls that keep people in the middle class, but I was able to push beyond them to become wealthy — and I can teach you to do the same.

The only thing between you and massive wealth is the right knowledge.

This is why I want to get you at 10XGrowthCon 2018, the #1 Business and Entrepreneurship conference in the country. This gift to you, from me, will SHOW YOU what you need to do next. You’re probably already on the path to success, I just want to speed up the process. Then you can buy as much crypto as your heart desires.

Be great,
GC
