Revealing the Wisdom A Complete “Nobody” Uncovered After Investing $33K, 10+ Years, and Thousands of Hours Into Self-Education And Personal Development…

When everybody else thought their “schooling” was OVER… I quietly and humbly started studying–and NEVER stopped.

Hi, I’m Riley Younger. Welcome to my world. I’m a farm boy. A cowboy. And a blue-collar “jack of all trades” … but I have to CONFESS…

… I’m a complete NERD and I live a secret double-life (because something was missing).

Something BIG was missing.

So I’ve been quietly studying, curating, and acquiring the skills, ideas, concepts, the habits, beliefs…

The Education of a GENIUS.

Someone who is DIFFERENT. Lives life on their OWN terms. Creates their OWN reality. Is not a VICTIM but someone who can THINK. Someone who is a CREATOR.

Someone who’s a REBEL. Someone who asks the hard questions. Someone who questions their “own” beliefs.

You know?

The beliefs blindly accepted growing up and NEVER questioned.

Everybody knows beliefs create your reality… everybody who’s smart, we’re starting to KNOW this, now…

I don’t talk about it with family or friends much (if at all) because I’m HUMBLE.

That’s my story and I’m sticking to it… lol.

No, the TRUTH is I’m a very private guy. (My closest friends and family don’t even know I have this website YET)… yikes.

The human creature (the ego) can get weird…

Because I’m a good guy, I care (too much) for their opinions. I’m way too nice. And that can get dicey. Haa…

You have to ask yourself. Who’s world do you want to live in? Theirs or yours? You have every right to live in your own world.

The world YOU choose.

And just a hint: it’s better to be GOOD. Not nice. Because…

“… people will subconsciously try to stop you from achieving anything beyond themselves, because it forces them to have to think about their own goals… the idea of you getting rich makes people sick.”

~ Gary Halbert

… even if they’re “friends.” Or… family. Yikes, I know.

Aannnd it’s not just about “getting ahead” that makes people so envious… so absurdly jealous they’ll do anything (again, subconsciously) to try and stop you…

It’s about discovering a WEALTH so few find. A confidence you cannot even begin to describe. A story that can’t be told. You’re starting to understand though, aren’t you? 🙂

Discover the “ART” of How to Be An ENVIED Person Without Even Trying

Where everything you touch seems to turn to gold. Everything seemingly, magically, goes your way. You’re MAGNETIC. Things come to you, and you DON’T chase.

You know the type, right? The people who just have a certain energy about them. They’re not needy. They’re not controlling.

They have a PEACE about them. A knowing.

A “take it or leave it” attitude.

Because we’re good. Either way.

It’s why you’re here.

And the the people who try to stop us, they can be cool too but they don’t understand how yet.

When you’re on “the right frequency” EVEN the people trying to stop you will be unknowingly IN SUPPORT of you.

This my friend, is alchemy.

The people who know the truth? They get it. They know how powerful it is to set aside the ego, be open-minded, dream and learn.

They realize how powerful it is to cheer others on. That’s a person who is coool.

That’s a POWERFUL person. One who wants and ALLOWS others to WIN.

That is after all the only way you can win.

And that’s who I like to share with. That’s why I share online. I let the right people find me and…

… if they want to get on my email list, fine. 🙂

Twist my arm. 😉

I’m not forcing this down anyone’s throat. It’s only for the people who are ready.

Truth be told, only people who are “ready” will be able to understand anyway.

Everyone knows that old saying…

“When the student is ready the teacher will appear.” ~ Tao Te Ching

Look, I am more than happy to just introduce myself as the simple-minded “cowboy” or the “jack-of-all-trades” and move along. And I DO, for 99% of people (that’s why you’re special. And congrats on being here, I mean it. You’re different.)

BECAUSE most people just don’t get it.

They never will. (Maybe in another lifetime)…

The still small voice comes only to those who can stop talking long enough to hear it. That’s first.

Then… most people cannot think.

“Thinking is difficult, that’s why most people judge.” ~ Carl Jung

They cannot even begin to think… let alone think there is another wildly fun, incredibly fulfilling possibility for them.

Where 10x is actually easier than 2x.

For the lucky 1% though?

The ones who can see past the facade of this “simple-minded cowboy”…

The ones who understand too, they are not their job title, surface level “label” the world gives us… you ARE so much more, AND meant for more.

…people who are on this entrepreneurial/personal/spiritual crusade like me, welcome to this deeply personal side of my life. I’d love to share with you the gold I’ve discovered over the last 9+ years sitting at this desk…

Not just at this desk.

I’m constantly “connecting the dots” in my day-to-day life and I bet you are too. If you’re like me, you can’t stop.

What am I talking about? Well, hold your horses, partner. You see…

Maybe you can relate

My dream was: to quit working so hard, quit trading my time for money. Earn an independent living (with more leverage) online. So I could have more FREEDOM… but…
The crisis: I never got the right education. Almost nobody does. In fact NOBODY does, until they do (but more about that later). And worse yet–I didn’t have belief in myself–my self-esteem was non-existent.
The even bigger crisis (that became the solution): I found out (discovered the hard way) as Jim Rohn said, “… income seldom exceeds personal development.” … Shoooot, I have to grow?

“The greatest project you’ll ever work on is you.”

Personal development became the goal. It became my life’s work. And I’m so glad it did… because as much as I like to pretend I’m a badass, I’m really just a dumbass. I’m just a regular guy and…

… the more I learn? … The more I realize just how much I don’t know. To the point of, now–if I were you–I would just run the other way… lol.

…but if you’re smart you prob’ly won’t. Because if you’re picking up what i’m putting down, you’re starting to understand…

… THIS is when somebody DOES actually know something. When they are ABLE to say with confidence, look, “I don’t know anything…” *with a smirk* and when you’re truly advanced *without a smirk* …

“You probably *shouldn’t* listen to me.”

“The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing.” – Socrates

Hint Hint, Wink Wink

Anyways.

Let’s keep going. I see you are a brave one.

I needed a “leg up.” Maybe you do too.

… over the last 10+ years, I’ve invested over $33k (prob’ly wayyy more) and tens of thousands of hours (prob’ly wayyy more) quietly searching, digging, and painstakingly curating what I now believe to be the best education for an…

Independent–Introverted (Not What You Think)–Entrepreneur

Someone who WANTS to play the LONG GAME, someone who wants to build the ultimate freedom, fulfillment, and happiness machine… themselves.

Independent: you’re a solopreneur and you prefer it that way. You value self-reliance. YOU own your business. YOU are the business. You understand the freedom, ease, and margin for an individual who wants to utilize the leverage available to us today.
Introverted: you have the superpower to sit down by yourself (you prefer it that way) and think and learn and work. You understand the power of focus…You TURN inward to find answers and solutions, you WON’T find outside of yourself. Again **hint hint, wink wink* I think (know) you’re picking up what I’m putting down, right? Gosh I hope so.
Entrepreneur: you understand LEVERAGE and that most “entrepreneurs” and “biz owners” are actually just self-employed slaves (they own a glorified job) … but you use systems, automation, concepts, and strategies like “canning and cloning” to 10X, 100X, or 1000X your efforts.

I love the definition of “entrepreneur” Dan Sullivan of Strategic Coach™ subscribes to by French economist Jean-Baptiste Say:

“… someone who takes resources from a lower level of productivity to a higher level of productivity.”

Someone who ADDS value to LIFE. Someone who CARES. Someone who CREATES. Someone who BUILDS.

Someone who is GOOD, and not just NICE.

The Long Game:

strategies trump tactics,
skills over hacks,
slowing down is THE secret to speeding up,
relationships over money,
clients over customers,
assets over liabilities and
giving before receiving.
… but maybe most important: Joe Polish’s genius idea and what everybody’s main theme for life should be –
- E.L.F. (Easy, Lucrative, and FUN) vs. H.A.L.F. (Hard, Annoying, Lame, and Frustrating).

**keep reading – all this will be explained because again the devil is in the details. Literally.

The “Abe Lincoln Effect” (Strategy):

“Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening my axe.”

~ Abe Lincoln

Slow down to speed up. Become the person who attracts your ideal life, by developing and adopting certain beliefs, ideas, concepts, skills, and strategies.

Allowing your dream life to come to you, because this is how it actually happens.

“Success is not to be pursued; it is to be attracted by the person you become.”

~ Jim Rohn

“Success isn’t something you have to chase or acquire; it’s something you remember you have already.”

~ Riley Younger

“For to every one who has will more be given, and he will have abundance; but from him who has not, even what he has will be taken away.

– Matthew 25:29

Why have I been doing this? Because I (myself) am an independent, introverted entrepreneur. A creator, an artist, a giver, a lover, a thinker, a REBEL who wants to play the long game and I couldn’t find a single “one-source” solution to satiate my desires… so I had to compile thousands of ideas, cross reference them all, and find key principles to live by.

Because I’m stubborn, hard-headed, I won’t settle, and I fell in love with it all.

I found BURIED secrets. Forbidden keys… and PATTERNS.

“True wisdom is acquired by the person who sees patterns, and comes to understand those patterns in their connection to other patterns – and from these interconnected patterns, learns the code of life – and from the learning of the code of life, becomes a co-creator with God.” ~ Hendrith Vanlon Smith Jr

My guess is there are others out there (maybe you) who’d benefit from the solution (curated education, information, ideas, concepts, strategies, habits, beliefs and carefully crafted network of genius mentors) I’ve put together.

Heck, you might even fall in love with it all.

So let’s get started.

First, hear what Dan Peña (who’s not so crazy after all–but rather genius) says about 90% of the high performers on the planet.

90% of High Performers Are Introverts.

Just a “quick note” but a very important lesson if you’ve ever had a negative view of your introverted ways like I have, and motivation for introverted entrepreneurs by Dan Peña (the Trillion-Dollar Man) *click that link to hear Dan say it himself.

He was asked what was consistent in billionaire and high-achiever personality types.

“Oh easy. First of all 90% of the high performers on the planet have one thing in common. They are introverts. Warren Buffett, Elon Musk.

~ Dan Peña

Skip to 0:59 seconds on the video especially if vulgar words offend you–if they do you probably shouldn’t be here 🙂

Why, What’s Your Why?

What’s your why? What’s the reason you will invest (time and money) into your self-education? Your investment into developing and adopting the skills, ideas, concepts, and strategies so many successful entrepreneurs live by.

For me? The shallow most basic surface level reason? I wanted to earn an independent living online. Play the “great online game.”

… for nearly a decade now I’ve been painstakingly digging, searching, trying to find a way to earn an income online but I realized finding a true solution was going to require something else…

Because (for whatever reason) I’ve either been cursed or blessed (big time). Being an INFP was going to require of me to find a DEEP, true, authentic solution to this thing we call life.

I needed to:

do work that matters, that I’m proud of, and that others value and are willing to pay for.
be in flow, work on my strengths, and do what I like/enjoy.
experience real GROWTH (mentally, physically, emotionally, spiritually).
Without having to answer to anybody, or work for someone else.
Without having to work for my business but have my business work for me.

… and have time and money to think, ponder, explore, learn, grow, experiment, do FUN things, give more, and pursue my hobbies and interests.

So I can be at peace with myself and have faith knowing tomorrow will be better than today (and next month better than the last).

Work Smarter, Not Harder.

Most entrepreneurs and “business owners” are stuck in the self-employed mindset. They work for their business INSTEAD of having their business work for them.

There’s NO leverage.

Making the distinction is essential. It’s the difference between enjoying what you do and not enjoying what you do.

One way you’re overworked. You don’t respect or value your time and your clients don’t respect and value your time. You’re not doing work you love. It’s not sustainable. And it’s not FUN.

The other way, you leverage your time by implementing systems to “can and clone” yourself, your sales message, and most of your communications, so you can multiply your efforts.

And be sure to watch Part 2 here.

And this is so beautifully explained by Robert Kiyosaki’s Cashflow Quadrant which I learned about in his book Rich Dad Poor Dad (a little over 9 years ago).

Robert Kiyosaki’s Cashflow Quadrant

Everybody (who’s been lucky enough to stumble across this information) knows that you need to make the switch from the left side of the quadrant to the right side…

From having a job (working for someone else) or being self-employed (owning a glorified job) to becoming a business owner (where your business works for you).

Especially if you want to play the long game, right?

It’s not just about “making the switch” though. It’s what “making the switch” will require of you that we’re after.

Often (99 times out of 100) people search their whole lives for something they never find. Something right in front of them they never see.

But I digress…

Now, you see (remember) the bottom right part of the quadrant? Investor.

There are many ways you can put money to work for you, but I want to tell you about one SIMPLE way you can start NOW for FREE – (invest) only with your time and attention (I’ll tell you about it in a minute).

Hint: you’re doing it right now.

Btw – your time & attention is THE most valuable thing. Little wonder why the BIGGEST companies’ main aim is to STEAL your time and attention.

Simply by giving them your attention, they make money.

It’s been called “the most important investment you can make” by Warren Buffett.

For now, let’s keep going.

The Fundamental Preschool Education

This is the BASIC prerequisite (required) education, of course, but the secret stuff that will actually move the needle is on my email list, remember?

Most (consciously created) entrepreneurs know these were, and are, the secrets (the skills, the ideas, the concepts, the strategies) they used and still use to create and shape THEIR dream life.

Even better? These are tailored to smart people like you and me.

While these are the basic building blocks to your success and freedom, they should not be discounted. These are POWERFUL beyond belief.

“Boring” Is The Way.

The below concepts, skills, ideas and arts may sound boring, yet to the one with wisdom and understanding, you know how powerful they are.

Communication: writing, speaking–the ability to get an idea across to another human being–and preferably compel them to think, change, and take action.

“If you can think and speak and write you are absolutely deadly… Nothing can get in your way… so that’s why you learn to write… It’s the most powerful weapon you can possibly provide someone with… If you can formulate your arguments coherently… and make a presentation… speak to people… lay out a proposal… God, people give you money… they give you opportunities… you have influence.”

~ Jordan Peterson

Copywriting: the act of putting words on paper (in a book, on a website, in an ad, in an email, in a video) that persuade someone to take an action–and eventually to buy something
Storytelling: the art that never grows old and allows communication to punch straight through the limbic brain and get to the emotional side (the only one that matters)
Psychology: the study of human behaviors that gives us superpowers not only when dealing with other people but when dealing with and trying to get ourselves to take the action we want to take
Marketing: the art of storytelling and helping people by actually helping them so that they come to know, like, and trust you (and buy from you)

“The aim of marketing is to make selling superfluous.” (or not necessary)

~ Peter Drucker

Philosophy: Love of wisdom. From the Kybalion, “The lips of wisdom are closed, except to the ears of understanding.”

“Quite literally, the term “philosophy” means, “love of wisdom.” In a broad sense, philosophy is an activity people undertake when they seek to understand fundamental truths about themselves, the world in which they live, and their relationships to the world and to each other.”

~ Department of Philosophy, Florida State University

Evan Carmichael on Joe Polish’s Top 10 Rules For Success.

Invest In Yourself

“The best investment you can make, is an investment in yourself.”

~ Warren Buffett

Books, courses, ideas, information, workshops, videos, podcasts, mentors… Skills, beliefs, habits, routines… the ability to quiet the ego and say, “I’m not where I want to be, maybe I can learn something from someone else.”

The key is to find the right mentors… and then value what they say and actually put it into practice.

There’s an old saying that says, “People don’t pay attention until they pay.”

Whether it’s time, attention, energy, or money, smart people intentionally set aside these resources to invest in themselves because they know about a concept known as “escalation of commitment.”

Something I want to explain to you soon, so keep reading.

The Abe Lincoln Effect (Strategy)

“Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening my axe.”

~ Abe Lincoln

Slow down to speed up. The quick way is actually the slow way.
If you fall in love with the things that actually attract what you want (aka: the process) you don’t need to worry or stress anymore about “getting” and “wanting” and “needing.”
You’ll be able to rest easy knowing you’re on the right path and that you’re “already there”… you’ve “arrived” while still, it’s only a matter of time before you’re given more.

After all…

“Every good and perfect gift is from above.” James 1:17

“Learn how to be happy with what you have while you pursue all that you want.”

~ Jim Rohn

The Wrong (And Right) Question…

The WRONG question is: Am I worthy? (Am I good enough? … Can I really do this?).

The RIGHT question: “Is it worthy of me?”

Ask yourself if your future goals and vision are worthy of you because you’re more capable than you give yourself credit for.

Especially if you come learn about what I’ve been learning about. Not just the surface level things but the secrets that will propel you forward and actually move the needle (the ones you’ll find on my email list)…

I’ve fallen in love with this stuff over the last 9+ years and, i think they’re good things to fall in love with. Especially if getting to the next level in your life and business is important to you.

Wanna take a peek further into this “whirld”? 🙂

It’s pretty neat in here.

Take a look around (read my origin story). See if what I’ve fallen in love with is for you too. Then when you’re ready “raise your hand” and subscribe to my email list (pay only with your time & attention; no small feat these days)… or dive into the deep end (invest some buckaroos in yourself & your education) because you know it’s the best investment you can make – see how far the rabbit-hole goes (and how good it gets).

P.S.

Read my origin story: how a “normal kid” growing up went in the opposite direction of everybody and “stumbled across” the best mentors, and the best information BUT more importantly discovered a better “why”.
Then, remember I said there was one way to start investing in yourself (the best investment you can make) for free? Subscribe to my email list and pay only with your time and attention.
Finally, when you’re ready to level up and invest money you can join my paid email list (because you know about the “escalation of commitment” concept)…
