Welcome back to the Building Your Money Machine Show! In this episode, I’m shining a light on one of the most overlooked keys to financial freedom: the smartest order to invest your money. If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything “right”—saving, investing, being responsible—but you’re still not getting ahead, you’re not broken. You’ve just been taught the wrong sequence. Today, I break down my Wealth Priority Ladder—a proven, step-by-step approach to hiring your dollars for the right jobs, finally giving you clarity, confidence, and control over your financial future.
I dive into the common mistake that keeps people stuck. It’s like trying to build a house by starting with the rooftop Jacuzzi! Instead, wealth is built systematically, and every dollar needs a job description—just like every employee in your business. When you master the right order, your money flows with purpose and resilience, rather than wandering aimlessly or causing financial stress.
Finally, I talk about the Affluence Phase, where you shift your focus to legacy and generosity and your money machine is running in the background, empowering your life and mission.
IN TODAY’S EPISODE, I DISCUSS:
- Why most people lose money by investing in the wrong order
- The Wealth Priority Ladder
- Building an unshakable foundation
- Why debt repayment and wealth creation should happen together
- The strategic steps for investing
- How to fit big one-time purchases into your wealth-building journey
- Legacy, affluence, and generosity
- Take the next steps with my Financial Freedom Zone quiz

Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship.
