First off, just take a look at his wealth over time
This is a REAL LIFE example of compounding going to work!
Notice how the graph isnât linear, rather it is exponential... that is the POWER of compounding

So here is the 2020 Forbes list of wealthiest people in the World

Do you notice a difference between #4 and the rest of the group?

2. Co-Founded Microsoft
3. CEO of LVMH
5. Co-Founded Oracle
BUT
4. Invested in the stock market

So the #4 richest person in the world, Warren Buffett, did EXACTLY what you and I can do
Invest in the stock market
He didnât create a company
He didnât build a fashion line
All he did was invest in the stock market

Yes, Warren Buffett is the CEO of a company, âBerkshire Hathawayâ
But this company is a conglomerate of many many many different companies
He gets paid dividends from a multitude of companies
Just like you own $KO, so does Warren Buffett... and A LOT of it

THAT is what motivates me to invest in the long term!
The ability to grow my wealth...
While not having to actively work for it!
My money grows for me, while I am out earning even more money!

So if the 4th richest person in the world made his name by investing
Then WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR
Iâm not saying you will become the 4th richest person in the world
BUT
It doesnât hurt to start your journey today, to allow compounding to get to work FOR YOU!

Also, Warren Buffett invested into some of these big named companies
AND
Is getting paid by them, but never had to put in the sweat to build that business up!
Just sit back and collect $4.7 Billion in dividend payments annually
