Joe Biden Quotes

    • This is America’s day, and this is democracy’s day, the day of history and hope. Today we celebrate a triumph, not of a candidate but a cause. We have learned again that democracy is precious democracy is fragile. At this hour, my friends, Democracy has prevailed.”

Key Takeaways

  • Leverage your brand: For most of Biden’s life, he relied on his salary to make money. He did well for himself, earning a low 6 figure salary for most of his career, but his net worth really took off once he started doing book deals and speaking at events. It’s essential you leverage your brand and audience to make increase your income. Michelle Obama has done it with her podcast. Charli D’amelio has done it with her Youtube channel, and Biden did it with his speaking engagements.
  • Speaking engagements can have huge payouts: Biden’s basic speaking fee is $100,000, but it ranges from $40,000 to $190,000. Gary Vee talks about this a lot. Speaking engagements are a great way to grow your net worth, and if you can grow a strong enough following, it isn’t as crazy as you may think to get paid 6 figures to speak.
  • Stay Humble: Although being a multi-millionaire, Biden still refers to himself and welcomes the nickname “Middle-Class Joe.” Biden remembers when he had very little and still empathizes with the middle class and wants to create policies that help them prosper.
