• Definition:
• Your most valuable asset in terms of cash flow is your physical and mental capital.
• Earning ability is determined by the strength of your physical and mental capital.
• Importance of Mental Capital:
• Just as athletes invest in their bodies (e.g., LeBron James spending $1.2 million annually), you must invest in your mind.
• Mental growth and development should be prioritized, similar to physical health.
• Example:
• People like Ken with millions of followers have high mental capital, vibrating at a frequency that requires millions to match.
• It is essential to recognize and respect the mental capital of individuals who influence large groups.

• Investment in Yourself:
• Continually invest in your mental and physical well-being, as they are the foundations of your earning ability.
• People in high-performance roles, such as entrepreneurs or leaders, must ensure their mental capital is as strong as their physical capital to succeed.
• Motivation and Self-Drive:
• Motivation should come from within when you are in the right position. If external motivation is required, it might indicate a mismatch between the individual and their role.
• Inspiration, derived from the Greek word meaning "on fire from within," should drive success rather than external forces.

• Capital and Speed:
• In capitalism, the goal is to move money across distances as fast as possible (e.g., from Australia to California).
• Apply this concept to business: how quickly can you transfer value (money) from your clients to your account?
• Handling Client Payments:
• Secure payments upfront, especially for large projects like weddings or events, to avoid last-minute cancellations or financial shortfalls.
• Non-refundable deposits protect your business from cancellations and ensure that time slots are fully booked and committed.

• Pushing Beyond Comfort Zones:
• Growth happens outside comfort zones. When you push yourself to close deals or handle large projects, you force yourself to develop into the person capable of handling such challenges.
• Close the deal first and figure out the logistics afterward. Resources tend to show up when they are needed.

• Investing in Your Capital:
• The law of capital emphasizes that mental and physical investments are critical to maximizing earning potential. Whether through continuous learning or physical health improvements, you increase your ability to earn and provide value.
• Time and Money:
• Capitalism revolves around moving money and value quickly. Your ability to capitalize on opportunities quickly, without delays or procrastination, will determine your financial success.
