In short
Myron Golden argues that spending and saving both lose to inflation, and that the only two low-risk, high-return, maximum-control investments are your own mind and your own business. He then opens his ad dashboard live and walks through actual book funnel numbers over 1, 7 and 30 days, showing a 35-39% monthly return on ad spend, and explains why he refuses to sell his books or audiobooks on big retail platforms.
Chapters
Key points
- 01
Saving money is like saving milk
Interest and taxes make money worth less over time, so setting it aside guarantees it loses value until it's worthless.
- 02
Spend, save, or invest
Poor people spend what they get, middle class people save it, and rich people invest it, because investing is the only way money grows in value.
- 03
Low risk, high return, maximum control
Myron's filter rules out real estate and the stock market, leaving only two places that qualify: his mind and a business he controls.
- 04
You either earn or you learn
Investing in your own mind can never lose money, because even a bad course teaches you something; you only lose if you quit before the investment returns.
- 05
The rule of 72, flipped
At 3% a year money doubles in 24 years, but at 24% a month $1,000 becomes over $2 million in 36 months.
- 06
Live return on ad spend numbers
He opens his dashboard and shows $55,990 in book sales against $41,217 in ads over 30 days, a 35% monthly return.
Lines worth keeping
“Saving money is like saving milk. Eventually, it's worth less. Until eventually, it becomes worthless.”
The single image that carries his whole argument against saving.
“Every time you invest in your mind, you always win. Here's why. You either learn or you earn.”
The core logic behind calling your own mind a zero-risk investment.
“If I don't by design make any area of my life better, I am by default making my life worse.”
Applies the law of entropy to personal growth as the reason daily learning is non-negotiable.
“You got bragging rights, but you don't have spending rights. I'd rather have spending rights than bragging rights.”
His case against chasing bestseller status instead of owning the customer and the margin.
“A bookstore is a terrible place to sell a book, because when people go to a bookstore, they go to look for a book that they know about.”
Explains why he builds funnels instead of seeking distribution.
What to do next
- 1
Stop saving money and start investing it immediately, intentionally and expectantly.
The best time to invest was 20 years ago, so the second best time is today, even if step one is learning what you don't yet know.
- 2
Put your money into your own mind first, through learning and skill development.
It is impossible to lose money investing in your mind because you either earn or you learn, as long as you don't quit.
- 3
Write a book that serves the market with the solution your business already delivers.
If you have a business with some success, you know something other people don't, and a book is one of the best ways to make them aware of you.
- 4
Sell your book in a book funnel on your own platform, not on the big retail sites.
On your own platform you control the price and you get every buyer's name, phone, email and mailing address.
- 5
Add order bumps and upsells so you maximize cart value and minimize customer acquisition cost.
When someone is already shopping, offering the recording, the audiobook or an event ticket lifts a $29.99 book to a $55.52 average cart.
