Your investments may grow a bit each year, but have you wondered about how some people grow major wealth? Instead of growing 10%, how can they be 10 times larger?

Many ordinary people build up millions of dollars, without having a high income or inheritance.

How does that happen?

It's because real wealth doesn't grow linearly.

It grows exponentially — through compounding, smart investing, and a different way of thinking about progress.

In my latest video, podcast episode, and blog post you'll learn:

• What is exponential thinking?

• What are some real life examples?

• How does the "Rule of 72" help you?

• Why is exponential growth all around us today when it wasn't decades ago?

• Why does investing for growth give you many times more than investing for income?

• Why is borrowing to invest so effective?

• Why should you learn to think exponentially?

Once you start thinking exponentially, you'll see opportunities for wealth and growth everywhere.

Being worried about a market crash right after retiring is a major fear for many people both before and after taking the plunge. I often hear these anxieties:

"I'm scared to retire even though I have enough money in every projection. What happens if there is a market crash right after I retire?"

"We just retired, but are hesitant to spend money in case we have a market crash."

You're not alone—thousands of people have had the same worry. But does the data actually support this fear?
