One of the biggest problems I have come across in my years in business is even elite men don't live in the cashflow. So what does it mean to live within the cashflow? 

It means that you have 100% respect for the cashflow in your business and that you don't take the easy option of debt or credit which of course is the same thing but can often be dressed up as an emergency hand-out to let you off the hook of responsibility. 

If we look at the state of most all countries now, it’s clear they are not living in the cashflow. 

We all know this is not going to end well and unfortunately the people who always get burned are the middle class and medium to large businesses. 

Why is this the case? 

It's because it is so easy to get sucked into that way of doing business because you see everyone else doing it. 

So if we can agree that this is not the way to sustainable growth then we can help you. 

When I first went solo in business in 1998, the first thing I did was look at my portfolio and the debt to value it carried. 

It showed me that if I sold two thirds of what I had I would have one third debt free. 

I had made the decision that I never wanted to be in debt again in 1998 when I went solo in business. 

The third I had debt-free was about 1 million Irish pounds at the time as the euro didn't come into force until 2000. That was about 1.3 million euros or 1.5 million US dollars. 

So there I was, 32 and a debt-free millionaire who knew how to sell pretty much anything, but I decided to focus on what made me a millionaire. That was property and finance. 

I had learned how to broker deals in the previous 10 years in business with my partners, and by the time I went solo I was a professional at it. 

I had also learned that I could do 10 times more deals at one time by brokering them and not be consumed by owning everything. 

So what is the takeaway for you?

Well, the beauty of brokering is that there is no emotion in it. You are just matching clients with the opportunities they are already looking for.

In addition, you take your commission debt-free and buy whatever you want with it, but always respecting the cashflow and never living outside it. 

Some people we have mentored have said that it's easy for me to talk because I know how to sell and that makes brokering easy. 

This, however, is incorrect thinking because every business person every day is selling and brokering but they just don't realize it. 

What distorts their thinking is that they want to own and control everything and therefore lose sight of what they are good at in the process.

Before they know it they are living way outside their cashflow and their main business begins to suffer. 

What’s a correct fee for brokering you might ask? 

My general fee for pretty much everything is 10%. However when deals go over one million there’s a sliding scale from ten to one percent depending on the size of the deal and the complexity of it.

My main strength has been calling property values and prices pretty accurately over the past 40 years. 

In my journey doing this, however, I have met some absolute geniuses in areas like tech and innovation that would make me look pretty useless in this world. 

What I was able to do for those people however was broker sales deals for them for a 10% fee and work with 10 clients or more at one time.

This gave me well over 100% pure profit to buy the properties I wanted with no debt while comfortably living in the cashflow. 

The other bonus from this approach is I have learned so much from these people that do amazing work for our planet that I would have never known if I didn't use the art of brokering. 

We hope the teachings in this article will resonate with some of you and that you will ask the question:

How much money have I left on many tables because I was only thinking of what was in it for me instead of taking a holistic approach and seeing how I could help others on the way to their goals?

This is the essence of brokering and we urge you to give it a try as we are here to help you enjoy the absolute joy and wealth it brings to you.

The precious metals market at the moment is a clear example of the lack of confidence in global financial markets. Gold and silver historically have always been the go‑to hedge in uncertain times. 

As of today’s writing silver is trading 250% more than it was six months ago and the silver to gold ratio has dropped down from almost 87 to 1 just six months ago, to 50 to 1 today. Confidence in the world is indeed at an all‑time low.

If you’re reading this to build sovereign wealth it’s imperative therefore you understand the difference between currency vs. real money so you can craft a powerful wealth preservation plan to protect and compound your hard-earned assets.

Unfortunately this is a distinction too many Elite Gentlemen Founders learn too late.

What most, even very successful men call money, really is currency. It’s only a medium of exchange.

Unfortunately, very late in life even elite men see that what they thought they were saving was real, actually turned out not to be real at all and was not holding its value — because currency is only a medium of exchange and can be printed at will, as there is no gold or silver behind it.

This is why we educate on precious metals so elite men can decide themselves whether silver and gold should be part of their portfolio.

From our perspective and we stress this is not financial advice, gold & silver are the only things that ever hold true value. They hold buying power.

You can see this from the way they have rocketed in price since the pandemic.

And the reason for that is simple — we have printed so much currency to keep the world going, after having it shut down for almost two years.

Currency is a medium of exchange that is destined to go down in value — because we know they’re going to keep printing.

Gold on the other hand — and silver — goes up in value because it comes up to meet the amount of money that is being printed.

This is why gold and silver are still being used by banks.

They are not using it to support the printing of currency anymore — because there isn’t enough of it to withstand it.

But they are, all the time, holding it and hoarding it.

Even though they tell us it’s pretty much a worthless asset to have in your portfolio.

Well our question to you is: if it was, then why are they holding it?

Why aren’t we being told to hold at least 10% or 20% of our portfolio in actual silver and gold?

Not gold certificates. Actual bullion or coins in your possession.

Because in our opinion — if you don’t have a solid asset like gold and silver in your portfolio — your portfolio will simply not hold its value with the way inflation is going.

Why This Matters for Elite Gentlemen Founders

Currency erosion happens quietly.

Asset preservation happens intentionally.

Those who understand the difference position themselves ahead of inflation.

Those who don’t slowly lose purchasing power — even while “saving.”

Takeaway: Silver and gold are proving once again to be the go‑to haven in uncertain times.

Cautionary Tale (not financial advice - we are not financial advisors nor are we bullion dealers) - do not attempt (like some of our clients did before they came to us) to purchase large amounts of gold and silver at one time before you have established yourself as a trusted buyer in the market. (For example these people tried to buy one million USD in gold and got flagged.)
