Candidate,
I Will Teach You To Be Rich is matching your donation to help people in need — up to $25,000.
Donate to make sure people have enough food to eat during coronavirus.
A few weeks ago, I told you that in times like this, we have to acknowledge reality, make a plan, and move.
Here's my plan.
Step 1 was taking care of my family.
Step 2 was taking care of our employees by announcing a $1,000 coronavirus stipend.
Step 3 was taking care of our customers by announcing a 2-month grace period on payments if they needed help.
Step 4 was taking care of our subscribers by launching a nightly Fireside Chat series, completely free.
Step 5 is what I'm announcing today: A $25,000 match to help people in need during coronavirus. Hell, we'll donate $25,000 regardless — but I want to tap into the IWT community to maximize our donations to help.
I announced this donation to the IWT team yesterday. Here's what I told them:
"I'm extremely proud of every one of you. During the last few weeks, with massive changes in the world, every one of you has been a complete professional. You stayed calm, you adapted, and showed the world what kind of team we've built.
I always wanted to build a company that reflected my values. Look at us on this video call today — I never wanted to work in an office under fluorescent lights. So we have the flexibility to work from home.
I wanted to build a community of amazing customers so every one of us — you, me, our support team — is happy to interact with them. We've done that. We have the best community and customers in the world.
And I always told people 3 things about money:
First, money is a small but important part of living a Rich Life. At IWT, we show people how to save and earn money, but it's rare for someone to show them how to spend it.
Second, a Rich Life is lived outside the spreadsheet. The point of saving and earning is not to count it in Excel — it's to use it to create a Rich Life. And when there are people in need, that's the time to deploy your capital.
Third, I always told people, when I'm successful, I'm bringing everyone with me. In this situation, we get to do exactly that.
Because of the work that each of you has contributed to IWT, we've built a healthy, profitable business. Now we get to deploy our skills and capital to help people who need it. We get to bring as many people as we can with us.
Today, I'm announcing a $25,000 donation to help people during coronavirus.
As always, I'm proud to work with the best team in the world."
Here's the donation link. There are millions of people who will need help — starting with food. Please join us in helping them.
Once you donate by this Friday, please forward your donation receipt to ramit.sethi@iwillteachyoutoberich.com, and we'll match your donation up to $25,000.
This is part of our Rich Lives and we hope you join us.
