With my corrupt school system beliefs, people ask me, “Are you going to send your kids to college or no?”
This is a very good question and I’m glad you asked!
Yes, they will go to college….. only if they really want to!
I’ll tell you this… I did, but as I looked around and realized it wasn’t working for anyone I knew, I jumped up, fled to the mountains, and never looked back!
I remember when my parents were pushing me and scolded, “what are you going to do with that skateboard? You need to hurry and go to college and get a safe secure job!”!
My Dad loves me, and he thought he was protecting or helping me, but he unintentionally almost killed my every dream I ever had.
If I would have listened, I would have never lived every dream I’ve ever had.
If I would have stopped skateboarding and “given in” to go back to college and do the normal route, I might have been what normal heads call “successful”, which was being stuck indoors 8-10 hours/day, every day, building the dreams of someone else, some job or business I hate, existing simply to chase money.
Instead, since I did almost the opposite – something “different”, and I got to live the dream life…
Now, in today’s world, if you pay close attention to statistics —>>
Having a job or small business doesn’t work for most people. It is an extremely dangerous position to stay in.
So why do most people think that this is the “safe” way to go?
It is simply because their parent’s passed down this information, which was passed down from their parents, who also didn’t know any better, and may have come from The Great Depression, where it was more “safe” to have a safe secure job…
That was in the Industrial Age. But THIS is the Information Age! Â So….
So… to get back to the question:
No, I’m not going to pressure my kids to go to college and “get a stable job” just because that’s what everybody else does.
If they go to college, it’s going to be specifically to help them with their own visions, ideas, and discipline – hopefully starting their own businesses.
In college, I know they will not be learning about money or leverage. They would have to read wealth books and learn about freedom for that – (that information will not in the school system or it’s books).
Look around at most people’s situation. You’ll notice, 90% of the time, college simply has not worked, if you want to be financially free.
Look around and you’ll discover that most of our struggling/busy friends have come out of college, and they are in debt, struggling.
There is simply no guarantee for an income, and most of the time, you will come out of college with a skill that will keep you BUSY and WORKING for linear income, for the rest of your life.
So, instead of any free time to travel or spend time with family, (getting to live instead of just exist to work), you will trade your time for money, struggling month-to-month, for many many years, just to try to pay off the compounding school loans.
The school system will teach you nothing NOTHING about money or leverage, which is why most people simply work until they are 65-70 years old, when your life may already be in decline. You worked, and you never got to live!
College is actually it’s own business system too. That is why people don’t learn the game of money there.
On top of being in debt, we come out of college and we’re tired of “learning”, so most people never go on to read the any more books, where you will discover how to achieve wealth through multiple streams of recurring income.
Most of the time, as soon as we get a raise from our J.O.B., or make more money in our “traditional” small business, we go out and get a bigger house and better car, “keeping up with the Jones'”, keeping ourselves in debt.
Now, I’ve been to college, and I have a good handful of college graduates working for and with me. I hired them because they are “smarter” and more skilled than I am, so they help me build my businesses.
The problem (for them) is: They are building MY dreams instead of their own. Sadly, if they do not decide they deserve better and open their minds to proven ideas that work, they will never get to live their own big dreams.
Example:
One of my best friends: He graduated from college with a bachelor’s degree in graphic design. He was $35,000 in debt, and cannot pay it back, so it just keeps compounding, with interest.
Now he owes over $40k. He has worked for me, and worked extra hard at other jobs for years, being self-employed.
I personally think, (along with many other wealthy businessmen) that the “school” system is totally corrupt and sets you up for mediocrity (FAILURE).
Without the right information, you will be programmed to go to work and back your whole life, paying your taxes, so the other elite people (the 1%) can be wealthy.
I’m not going to get in too deep on that tax subject, (a whole other can of worms), but you have to watch out who you take advice from.
WARNING!!
You must stop taking advice from poor or middle-income people immediately, unless you want the same results!
If you want to be wealthy, from here on forward, you must only take advice from wealthy people, and do what they do, to have the results they have.
Have you been programmed for mediocrity, to be “normal” like everyone else, doing what their parents or “teachers” tell them?
Think about it:
If you were having troubles and wanted advice on your relationship:
Would it be wise to take advice from a person who has been divorced 3 times and is currently SINGLE?
NO… because they’d be giving you their “valuable” advice, (that’s why it’s FREE, lol!), saying silly things like, “just dump her man, it’s not gonna work, there’s millions of other fish in the sea” and “forget her, she a b*tch”!! hahahahaha!! ….
My point to you is this:
Gather the information so you can think (for yourself) and make an educated decision on what you want your life to look like.
Then, find people who actually have the KIND of life you want, and study and copy them to get the results they have.
If you want to be a plumber, go to a plumber for advice.
If you want to be a doctor, go to a doctor for advice. (They may be “skilled”, but if you’re looking for freedom, you will not find it there).
If you want to be wealthy, then get advice from wealthy people only… (residual money from assets. They play golf and travel all year long, having total freedom and wealth, with very minimal work).
They have tons of time freedom to do what they want, when they want, with who they want, for how long they want!
Remember: Wealth is measured in free time and quality of life, not money.
Now, what about you? Most people have to shrink their dreams to match their income, and then plan their life around that income.
They don’t think they deserve to make millions, so they just go to college and get a “stable job” or small business. Nothing wrong with that if you like 40-50 year plan of hard work. It’s just not for us!

More on my kids in college:
If my kids are passionate about college, then they will go! I’m going to fully support them in their passion, no matter what it is, because being able to do what you love and get paid for it is what I believe is success.
If you love what you do, then that’s success, because it’s not going to feel like “work” to you.
However, when it comes to leverage, money, and freedom, you must read wealth and leadership books.
You must invest time and effort into yourself, going to wealth mastery seminars and courses – not reading “school” books, learning from month-to-month struggling folks!

The World Is Yours, M!
My name is Marc Frank Montoya. I was raised by a single Mom (who did the best she possibly could and supported my dreams), but had no (Financial) Education. I (luckily) skipped college, changed my environment (by moving up to the mountains with some friends) and went on to become a globally recognized professional snowboarder for over 17 years. *(After that kind of life, there was no possibility of going back to the "norm".) After a few mentor friends pushed me read a few wealth books, I thought the next logical step was to STOP making other people rich and launch my own businesses. The problem was, I quickly realized the volatility and lack of time freedom that comes with (traditional/old-school) brick and mortar business. Even more painful was the lack of quality time with my kids. After a lot of searching, studying, researching and discovering, I dove in head first, implementing #different strategies and tactics. I invested the next 15 years (and over $250k) into courses, personal development, seminars, workshops, coaching, mentorship and financial education. I also found the world of Online Marketing, Automated Businesses Models, Financial Services and Tools, and Tax-Free Wealth Strategies. I now share what I learn and help entrepreneurial-minds build more automated and leveraged business online, protect your assets and compound your results and income from anywhere in the world using a #smart phone, a laptop and Zoom. If you're looking to take your income and lifestyle to the next level, feel free, look around, invest the time, jump down the Rabbit Hole.. : )
