- The Number That Changed My Life
A Note from Big T: Friends, I know many of you are setting resolutions around building more wealth and creating greater financial security for yourself and your family.
That’s a worthy goal.
As you already know, real wealth doesn’t happen by accident. It takes patience, planning, and discipline.
Over the years, I’ve learned that the biggest breakthroughs in life don’t come from bold New Year’s resolutions… They come from a bold action plan.
That’s why I’m sharing something with my most loyal readers. It’s simply an opportunity I believe can help you continue compounding your wealth safely and intelligently in 2026 and the years ahead.
So get all the details. And if it feels right to you, you’ll know.
Our offices are closed this holiday weekend, so we’re rerunning an essay about the simple insight that changed everything for me – the secret to reaching true financial freedom.
It all starts with one number: Your Freedom Number.
If you’re serious about hitting your Freedom Number in 2026, this will be one of the most important essays you read all year.
On behalf of myself and my entire team, I wish you a happy, healthy, and prosperous New Year!
Let the Game Come to You!

Five Steps to Achieving Financial Freedom in 2026
Many of you know I grew up in the foster care system in England, living with different families and in group homes.
One of the homes I lived in housed me in a cramped, unheated room on top of a garage. At night, I watched my breath coil into a frigid mist.
It wasn’t easy…
But one day, something changed my life forever.
I had been in and out of hospitals because I had a kidney illness. And the side effects of the medicine made me obese.
I was bullied. I got into fights I never started. And when I was at my lowest point, one of my foster parents yelled at me…
He said, “You should be grateful for the life we’ve given you.”
That changed me forever.
I had a choice: Believe this was as good as things would get and that I should be “grateful” for it… or I could change my life for the better.
So, I took one small step. I refused to accept another person’s view on what my life should look like. And that started me down a path that would change my life forever.
I began dreaming of a better life. I cut out photographs of New York… of Wall Street… and I imagined myself in those photos.
With a good job… a nice home… a nice car… a beautiful girlfriend.
Sure, they were teenage fantasies. But what I learned later in life is that I was doing the same thing many successful people do. I was visualizing my future.
By imagining it as something tangible… I could at least begin to take steps to achieve it.
This also allowed me to discover which emotions and thoughts moved me forward… and which ones held me back. I learned action overcame fear, and overthinking led to inaction.
I learned to take action. Today, I’d like to invite you to do the same.
Because no matter what your background is, before you can achieve your dreams, you must set goals for yourself.
