What's up, ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to another episode of the Action Academy podcast, the show that teaches you how to replace corporate with cash flow and helps you unlock your inner entrepreneur.

My name is Brian Lubin. I am your humble hosting guide in March of 2022. I left my corporate job to travel around the world full time while building my own business from zero to $10 million a year.

about to hear is his answer to that question. Before I share Mike's answer, if you're a high

performer and you are asking these same questions, you're trying to figure out how to be financially free,

how to scale. What's the best way to do it? And you don't have access to mentors. You don't have
