About this listen

Core theme: The power of one choice can reverberate through generations.

1) Making Ripples

  • 4 a.m., early flight, tired and irritable.
  • Kevin judges a woman based on her appearance.
  • She quietly pays for his items anyway.
  • Lesson: small kindness can create massive impact.
  • The ripple effect multiplies every time the story is shared.

2) Who are your heroes?

  • We default to celebrities… but they rarely change our personal lives.
  • Real heroes are often people close to us:
  • parents, mentors, teachers, neighbors, friends
  • Eight-year-old girl calls her dad her hero:
  • he picked her up, cleaned her scraped knee, cared for her
  • Big idea: heroism is usually ordinary faithfulness.

3) Principle-based Capitalism

  • A defense of capitalism rooted in:
  • honesty, integrity, hard work, frugality, giving back
  • Critique: “profit first no matter what” is a distortion of true capitalism.
  • DFY grew faster when the focus shifted:
  • from tracking numbers → to tracking people’s progress
  • from transactions → to leaving people better off
  • Principle-driven companies outlast founders; profit-only organizations crumble.

4) The Power of One Property

  • One rental purchase impacts many:
  • mortgage team, agents, title, property manager, tenant, seller, you
  • And you can benefit most over time through:
  • cash flow, appreciation, tax benefits, principal paydown
  • Compounding concept:
  • one can lead to two, two can lead to four, etc.

5) Proof Through Repetition

  • Eric buys first property: January 2012
  • Adds multiple properties that same year
  • By 2019: nine properties
  • Outcome: retired, traveling, living life on his terms while DFY handled the heavy lifting

6) Micro-Win Challenge to End The Book

  • Don’t overcomplicate the first step:
  • 10-minute workout
  • 5 minutes with your kids
  • write one sentence
  • drink one extra glass of water
  • say a 30-second prayer
  • gather loose change and deposit it
  • Final reminder: you are one decision away.
