In an interview with host Lewis Howes on the show School of Greatness (which has been watched by over 1.3 million people), Patrick Bet-David explains the #1 rule of making money. And with a personal net worth estimated to be north of $200 million, he should know a few things about the topic…
In the interview Bet-David explains that the first rule of understanding the management of money is that it’s just a game.
“the only thing to know about money is that it’s a game. It’s that simple. Just like any game, you can get better.”
“Money’s Just a Doubles Game”…
According to Pat, the entire game of money is about doubling your money.
For example, if you have $1,000 cash in your bank account, you are 10 doubles away from having a million dollars. You’re five doubles away from $32,000, 13 doubles away from having $8.192 million, and 14 doubles away from $16 million dollars. How soon can you double your money?
That’s it. It’s a doubles game. Can you take that $1,000 and double it to $2,000 in the next year?
Now that it’s $2,000, you’re nine steps away from a million dollars. If you already have $100,000 in your account, then you’re three to four doubles away from a million dollars. Building wealth is a piece of cake when you understand the doubles game.
