Money gives you time, whether it's getting somewhere faster, whether it's achieving a goal quicker, whether it's hiring a mentor to coach you through something at a faster rate, whether it's buying you more access to achieve your goal, right, in business or in a sport, or if you want to meet a celebrity, whatever it is, right, it's going to provide that collapsing of time, which is your most precious asset.
My name's Rudy Moore, host of Living the Red Life podcast, and I'm here to change the way you see your life in your earpiece every single week. If you're ready to start living the red life, ditch the blue pill, take the red pill, join me in Wonderland and change your life.
What's up? Welcome back to another episode of Living the Red Life with Rudy Moore. Today, I'm going to talk to you about the power of money and is money good, is money evil, and how to leverage money to make your life and your family's life better. Now, let's begin. Before we start, let's talk about is money good or bad. A lot of people say money's bad. You've got the whole eat the rich and you have this kind of attack towards capitalism and attack towards money.
Now, what you need to understand, there's a few things going on here. Everything and the way I teach it is you've got to understand anything can be good and bad, right? So my background's in sports science and fitness, and many people don't know you can actually die from drinking too much water. If you drink about eight to 10 liters,
of water, which is about three big gallons, you can actually die. So that's like saying, well, water is now bad. We shouldn't ever drink water again. You can also die. I talk a lot about money is to me like energy. It's like power. So you have power in your house to fuel your fridge, your electrics, everything. So imagine if you didn't have that. It's like saying, well,
We shouldn't have electricity anymore because if a toddler sticks his fingers in it, he could die. So electricity is bad, right? So there's many things in life that can be good and bad, right? There's a big argument about guns, right? Good or bad, right? In some cases, they could save your life. In other cases, they can take your life, right? So like all of these things...
It's dependent on context and the usage, right? So it's a very stupid comment to say money is bad because it's like saying water is bad or electricity is bad, right? And just like guns, there's two sides to an argument with everything, right? So any bold...
kind of one singular frame of focus and saying is generally wrong because you're not looking at it from a big picture view. And generally what that means is people's own opinions and emotion is giving that statement versus something that's well thought out, right? And unbiased, okay? Most of the time it's a biased comment. Now, I think money is great, okay? And I think money can be great. And of course, I do understand that
you know, some people can use money for bad, right? But obviously in the context of what we're discussing here, it's like dieting, right? If we say, hey, you should go on a diet and live a healthier lifestyle, that's good, but people can get anorexia and people can die from it, right? And people can commit suicide because of body image dysmorphia.
So again, it's not that diets are bad. It's about correct usage within a sensible realm of reason. So within a sensible realm of reason, I assume you're listening to this today because you're sensible and have logic, right? And you're not biased, okay? If that's the case, then money is good, right? And money can improve your life in ways you can't imagine. If you've never had a lot of money, then it's harder to visualize, right? It's just like why it's harder to visualize
if you've never been super healthy, right? Or it's harder to visualize what it feels like to fly on a private jet, or it's harder to visualize what it's like to live in America if you don't live in America, right? So you've got to understand that you might not have seen how it can leverage and benefit your life. If you're listening to this day and you think money's bad, it's probably because you have a biased way of looking at it, right? Or you've been brainwashed by the media or certain people in the media, right? So money can change your life.
money is good if used correctly, like most things, right? And money is going to give you more freedom. And if you look at, you know, just looking at like relationships, right? Marriage, okay? It's about 30% or a third of marriages and breakups and divorces end because of money, okay? So if you look at that factually, a third of...
relationships or marriages actually end because of money problems. So it's very hard to say, well, money isn't important, right? Because you've literally got, you know, marriages, like a third of all marriages are getting, you know, causing problems because of money problems. Now, that third of divorces doesn't account for the other 66% of marriages that probably have problems
Because of money, right? So they don't get to the extreme level of a divorce, maybe, but there's problems still because of money. So having money, A, removes all the financial stress of not having money, which is one of the biggest benefits and one of the biggest causes of divorce and one of the biggest things that will make you unhappy in life.
not having enough money, okay? It'll cause you stress. It'll cause you worry. It'll limit your life. It will reduce your freedom. And it's very hard to argue freedom doesn't equal happiness. If you go and ask someone that spent 20 years in jail, I think they will all tell you freedom is a key part of happiness, okay? It's built into our DNA to be free.
Money provides freedom, right? It's a super important part of freedom. Money also provides speed and it helps you collapse time. If you look at anyone that's successful in life, they will all tell you time is one of your most precious assets. It's a very famous saying. And they will all look back when they're 60, 70 years old and what will they want more than anything?
time, right? Money gives you time, whether it's getting somewhere faster, whether it's achieving a goal quicker, whether it's hiring a mentor to coach you through something at a faster rate, whether it's buying you more access to achieve your goal, right, in business or in a sport, or if you want to meet a celebrity, whatever it is, right, it's going to provide that collapsing of time, which is your most precious asset.
Money also can provide better health. Okay, like think about it this way. If you have more money, you can do what? Hire a personal trainer. You have less stress, right? Because you're not financially worried all the time. You can buy better food.
You can buy supplements. You could buy private chef or pre-built meals, right? So you can provide a better bed, better mattress, better night's sleep. You can provide better health care, okay? So there's lots of reasons that money is important.
Okay, so I've talked big picture, right? I know a lot of that might seem common sense to a lot of people, but as the saying goes, sadly, common sense isn't so common these days, right? So you got to realize, firstly, detach from any emotional stigma you have around money. If you're listening to this and you're triggered right now, you've got to attach from any emotional trigger, right? Because if you ever want to make money and have freedom in your life and create a good business, it will be impossible while you still have that emotional stigma
bias towards money being a problem or money being bad. Next, you've got to realize every single one of you listening to this today or watching this today can achieve large amounts of money, large amounts of financial freedom, every single one of you. And a lot of you have this limiting belief that you can't because of where you were born, what you look like,
what you're doing right now, where you failed in the past, you've created your own limiting beliefs in your head, and that's probably at least 50% of the battle that's stopping you earning more money in your life. So if you believe money is good, if not, you're working through that. Second thing is understanding that every single one of you can create
massive amounts of money. Money is everywhere. There's trillions of dollars, trillions. Money is everywhere. It's so easy to create. There's millions of ways to create wealth these days. There's millions of side hustles, businesses, even high-paying jobs. There's a lot of opportunity. The biggest thing stopping you is your own limiting beliefs, and you have to work through that. That is phase two.
Phase three is building the vehicle to generate massive amount of money and wealth. Okay, so that could be a business, could be side hustles, it could be investments, it could be real estate, it could be figuring out how to get in a commission-based job if you work in a nine-to-five and you don't want to start your own business. It could figure out how to get promotion after promotion after promotion to earn more and more and more. There's so many ways to earn money. Okay, you've got to just figure out what is my vehicle.
Problem with a lot of you is you don't have a vehicle or if you do, you jump between vehicles, right? So it's like you're trying to drive from destination A to destination B, 20 miles away. But every time you start, what you do is you get in a car for a mile, then you park it, get out and go, I want to change my car. And you walk back to the start, find a new car, rest for a little bit. And then you pick a new car and the car's broken down. So now you have to go get it fixed and work on it.
And then you go, you know, then you start driving again and then you go to McDonald's and then you like get out of McDonald's and you're like, I'm going to go have a sleep. And then you wake up and you're like, actually, I'm going to get another car now. And then you start all over again. So it's kind of like Monopoly, but you go bankrupt every time you get near go, right?

I would love for you to leave that review and I would appreciate it very, very much so we can keep growing this show and make it awesome. So let's get back into the episode
I appreciate you guys and let's dive back in.
So a lot of you, when you're trying to build wealth and build money and you've decided on the vehicle, right? You actually got to obviously pick the right vehicle to start. And that's where, you know, coaches and mentors and doing your research comes in. But after that, you've got to just stick with the vehicle for long enough to at least get to the first destination. You might not have to drive that vehicle for the rest of your life, but you need to drive it to get to the first hundred K or maybe the first half a million or the first million, right?
And don't get me wrong, I've changed vehicles a lot. I started in real estate and then fitness. I built a multi-million dollar fitness company. Then I built a couple more fitness companies, you know, million dollar fitness companies with business partners and celebs. And then I went into an agency, built a multi-million dollar advertising agency. And then I went with, you know, partnered with Tai Lopez. We built an agency. Then we did the US brands. Now I have multiple businesses, about eight companies.
many, you know, seven, eight figure companies, right? And over 100 employees. But what you'll see is, yes, I've changed vehicles and there's nothing wrong with that. But they all, I got at least all of them to a destination, which in this case was seven figures, i.e. a million dollars or more, right? Which I think is,
a long enough at least life cycle to get an ROI from it, get good experience from it, and then make a pivot if it's not the right thing for you and it doesn't match your vision, right? Or COVID happens or something changed in the economy and you have to pivot. We've talked about three things, right? It's about
you know, how you see money, good and evil, right? And until you see money as a tool and it's like just energy, right, that can be good or bad. And, you know, most of you will say, yeah, I want electricity in my house, right? I want a fridge and a freezer to store my food. I want to be able to then cook my food. I then want to light up my house and I want...
you know, I want to watch TV and I want Wi-Fi, right? So unless you see that, and that's how you got to see money. Once you see money is like, hey, I really, really need it. And I really have to focus on it. It's like if your electric bill wasn't paid and then it went out tonight, what would you do? Would you like sit there for a couple of years thinking about it?
Would you sit there for a month thinking about it? Would you even sit there for a week going, yeah, I really need to earn some more electricity? No, right? Well, you take action right away. So you've got to take action right away is what I'm trying to say here. You wouldn't sit in a house with no electricity. If the electricity went out because you're card-bound,
You'd ring them up right away. Hey, my electricity's out. They're like, yeah, you didn't pay your bill and we've been sending you mail that no one opens, right? And you go, oh, well, can you run my credit card? And they go, yeah, sure. Okay. And then electricity's back on. That's how you got to see money, right? And most of you are sat in the dark, right?
Right. You sat in the dark for 30 days, 60 days, 90 days, three years of your life, five years of your life, 10 years of your life. You not took the red pill yet. You sat in the dark, worried or contemplating or planning or saying one day you wouldn't do that with electricity, but you're doing it with money and you're doing it with your life. Right. Because we just talked about money equals freedom.
Money equals access. Money equals better health. Money equals less stress. Money equals more opportunity. Money equals a better lifestyle and ultimately equals more time, right? I have like three or four people that help collapse my time. I have multiple assistants, an assistant in my house. I haven't filled up my
gas in my car for two years. I haven't paid a bill for two years. Haven't checked email for a year and a half. I haven't opened mail for two years. I haven't made myself a drink in my office for a year because leaving my desk and, you know, it might only be a minute, but that minute turns into me having a conversation with a couple of staff sitting back down, getting on my phone, and it equals 20 minutes of lost time.
right? And that last example, yes, I guess more extreme. But the point is, is there are ways that money can collapse time, right? Unless you get a lot of fulfillment out of filling up your car with gas, if you do, great for you, go do that, right? If you get a lot of fulfillment sitting in economy, right, waiting for an hour, like stood up trying to get on, right? That's an hour of your life gone. You're not
productive there then you sit there and you're like all crammed and you feel like shit and it's all crappy and it's horrible and you're like this and all you do is complain now you're in a negative energy state right and then if you got a business you're trying to work where you like flip your laptop open and the top of it's up here and you're typing like this right and then people are getting up and down and blah blah blah right that that's money that's a money thing right whereas i'm sat in first class i get on right away i sit down i get a nice drink i
I got nice space to get my laptop out. I've done 45 minutes, hour of work before you've even take before while you're still lining up to get on the plane. Right. So it's like, why am I ahead in life and business? Because I think that when I create the time collapse and opportunity to stay further ahead than most people, especially at the age of 31, very few people I know in the world that are at my level. Right. Because I'm always looking at how do I collapse that time and create that opportunity.
So you got to think for me, like I spent crazy money on everything because I'm like, it's an energy source. I'm not going to pull in a bunch of energy in my house, but then not turn my lights on and keep my fridge running and just store it. I'm just going to put it in the little energy storage area, whatever you call that, right? You know, on the grid. And I'm not going to actually use it in my house. No, I'm going to use it all day, every day. I don't want to sat there. I want to use it.
You've got to use money to create greatness. You've got to use money to create freedom. You've got to use money to take your family on a private jet to somewhere cool and create an experience that's once in a lifetime. Or stay in a nice hotel. Or not get there and then land in Mexico and you're trying to bother with a taxi driver and figure out where the taxi is and you've got
eight different people shouting at you to get in their taxi and you don't know which one's going to kidnap you and which one's going to take you to your hotel. You got a guy with a sign that has a nice SUV with air conditioning and alcohol waiting for you and a cocktail that you walk straight out, you feel secure, safe, excited, and you go straight to your hotel. And then you get to your hotel and because you got money, you got a five-star resort where...
They take your bags off, you check you straight in, you're not waiting for 45 minutes in this crappy three-star buffet where you get in the room and the bed isn't made properly and they got the beds messed up and then the ACs broke. That's the difference of money. That's the difference between normal and having a lot of money and living an amazing life. And every single one of you listening today can do the amazing part, can all have the amazing part. You can live the red life and create that for yourself.
But it starts with a decision. It starts with a decision today to start thinking that way, acting that way, and wanting it. Most of you don't want it. You're sat in the dark right now still, complaining about your life. You're sat in the dark hoping the lights will turn on. No, the lights are going to turn on when you fuel up the electric and you walk over and flip the switch.
That's it. That's all it takes. And that's money. And that's why money is good. And that's why you need to focus and you need to know you've got to take control, earn as much money as you can to make your life better, to make an impact, to grow your business, to support your family, to create freedom, to collapse time and to finish this life one day looking back without regret because you did everything you ever wanted to do and you enjoyed every single minute because you had the freedom and money to do so.
And that's what money will do for you if you're a good person and you utilize it the right way. And that's why money is good. I hope you enjoyed today's episode. I hope you're ready to flip on the light switch, take the red pill and build the life of your dreams. Thanks for listening. Now let's all go and earn a shit ton of money. Take care.
