Video Summary

Jon Patte Lavin shares a powerful perspective on building a business that creates permanent passive income and generational wealth. He walks through what he calls the “perfect business” model: residual income on every product sold, increasing compensation as you advance, override income on team production, rapid advancement based on merit, 1099 tax advantages, minimal overhead, national portability, and the ability to pass the business to your family. He compares this opportunity to real estate and traditional investing, showing how developing 10 district leaders can generate $20,000+ per month in passive income without owning physical assets. He highlights the coming $94 trillion wealth transfer and shrinking advisor supply as a massive opportunity for securities-licensed professionals. The core message is that helping others succeed generates long-term override income that can be inherited, making leadership and selflessness the foundation of true financial freedom.

FAQs

Q: What does “pass down passive income forever” mean?
It refers to building override and residual income that continues as long as the business operates and can be inherited by family members.

Q: How does override income work?
You earn a percentage of the company’s profits from the production of people you recruit and develop, not from their paycheck.

Q: How much passive income can this model create?
For example, 10 district leaders each generating modest production can create around $20,000 per month in overrides. Each $100,000 earner can generate roughly $40,000 in annual override income.

Q: Why is the securities license important?
With trillions of dollars transferring from retiring baby boomers and fewer advisors in the market, licensed professionals can build long-term recurring asset-based income.

Q: How does this compare to real estate?
Instead of investing large capital upfront and managing physical properties, you build people who generate recurring income without inventory or property management.

Q: Is this a get-rich-quick opportunity?
No. It requires focus, passion, mental toughness, and several years of disciplined leadership development.

Q: What makes this a “perfect business”?
Low startup cost, massive market demand, portability, no inventory, high margins, scalable systems, compliance support, technology leverage, and generational transferability.

Video Summary

00:00
What a privilege and a thrill it is for me after 45 years of doing this, to come to this, to show up here and to see the success in this room and to know that I had a little part to do with it, and it means a lot. It means everything. I’m going to close with that. The most exciting thing for me right now in the business is I get to work with my son every day, and my son. It was interesting with the colors. When Andy went through the colors earlier today, the different personality profiles. It was very interesting when he discovered what color he was, that he was a green because he thought he was a red. Well, I wanted him to be a red. But it’s not about what we want you to be. It’s about what you want to be. 

00:51
It’s about what you want to do with this. And when he really got clear on his strengths, he was able to settle into those strengths and to watch Zach right now flourishing in the business, it’s a blast. And he and I are working very closely every day. I’m back up in Philadelphia now, and I will. I’m like, Charlemagne. I’ll head into the office for a little while before I go to the golf course. But no, really, you know, this business was about getting free. And Zach did a talk. I don’t know if he had chatgpt help him or what, but I want to share it with you. Okay? And so we’re gonna talk about the perfect business. 

01:34
We’re gonna talk about what we have our hands on, and I’m gonna give you a lot of nuts and bolts about what we have our hands on. And don’t take this for granted, but just sit back and soak it up. And it starts off with, are you for sale? Are you for sale? And Zach wrote this, and he said, you know, a business owner approached me the other day to see how we could help each other. And were talking, and he said he wanted to hire me. And I told him I already own a business and that I couldn’t be happier than what I’m doing. And I’m. You know, and he really couldn’t afford me. And the guy says, look, everybody’s got a. Everybody’s got a price. 

02:15
You know, Everybody has a price, so what would I need to do to get you over here? He said. Zach said, all right, well, if you’re serious, let me lay it out for you. Here’s what I need. And then we could talk. He said, I would like residual income on virtually every product I sell, regardless of volume. And I want to see the percentage get higher and as I improve in advance. So I want residuals and I want it to get bigger and bigger as I get better, he said. Second, I want to be able to offer a greater line of products than my competitors can offer so that I have a competitive advantage over everyone. I’ve got something for everybody, a one stop shop, he said. 

03:02
I expect you to provide me with free over the phone, in office, virtual and hands on training. When I help hire and train any new salespeople, I want to be compensated on a percentage of their sales, not from their paycheck but from the company’s profits and I want to receive the income on them forever. That’s what I would have said, Chat said. Indefinitely. I would like the opportunity to rapidly advance within the company based on my own merit without having to wait for my boss to get promoted, fired or transferred. I would like to be a 1099 independent contractor. That way I can take advantage of all the tax advantages designed for business owners. 

03:52
When I do well, I expect lots of praise and recognition, special awards, free vacations for me and my spouse, Rolex watches, car notes paid for, and cash bonuses when the team produces. I would also like the ability to hire whomever I want whenever I want, no questions asked and if I like them, they’re hired. I also want you to give me an open credit line in order to pay my people for their work with no limits. If the state has any licensing requirements for me to work, I want you to pay for at least or at least reimburse me for the vast majority of the costs associated with obtaining those licenses and all of the licenses for my team. 

04:43
I need to be able to set my own schedule and work when it suits me from anywhere in the country, in person or through zoom. That way I can start spare time or part time and transition to full time when I’m ready. If I decide to go full time and open my own office or franchise, I want to be able to have full ownership of that office with the ability to eventually choose whether I want to collect a residual income from my business for the rest of my life or sell my business as a whole when I die. I want to be able to pass on the business to my family, securing my family legacy. Also, I want free stock given to me every time I help someone get promoted and also when they open their own office. So when can I start? 

05:40
Dude, you can’t be serious. You’re dreaming. You’ll never find an opportunity like that anywhere. And if you do come back and get me, because I want to work with you. So I want you just to think about that. Think about that list. That’s what you have, and it gets pretty more amazing. Zach says. So I gave him my business card. Look, if it’s not right. If it’s right. I mean, if you actually have the ability to communicate what we’ve got here, people are either interested or they’re not. And if they’re not, that’s okay. Put them on a list and follow up, follow up, like Tesla spoke about. See, stop looking for the next thing. Stop thinking there’s something better. You found it already. Oh, wait, I gotta go back here. Look at this. I love. Oh, yeah. So stop. This is not my PowerPoint. 

06:37
This is the redone PowerPoint. So excuse me. So people are sick and tired of working for others. You know, when you look at it, there’s a lot of opportunities out there. You know, real estate is, like, always being talked. Everybody’s always real. I’m going to get a real estate. I’m going to buy properties. I’m going to be. I’m going to be Keller Williams, real estate agent. I’m going to be an Airbnb host. I’m going to buy properties. I’m going to flip properties. I’m going to buy them and rent them. All right, let’s take a look at that for a minute. There’s 1.6 million realtors in this country right now, and there’s only 950,000 listings in the United States. The average Realtor doesn’t sell a home. There’s 10,000 baby boomers who turn now, this is our side. There’s 10,000. 

07:22
Actually, it’s 11,000 baby boomers who turn age 65 every single day. There’s 250,000 advisors, closer to 300,000. The average age is 60. Half of them, half of those advisors will be out of the business, retired in the next decade. There’s trillions of dollars to the tune of the most recent number is $94 trillion that’s getting ready to flood the market. They call it the Great Wall of Wealth. The Great wall of wealth is real. Those of you that are good in the securities business, you experience it on a regular basis. Patrick, Frederick. Right now, I don’t know what your income’s at, but it can’t help but to continue to just go up, because you’ve built a client base. You’ve serviced your clients well. You’ve got A great reputation, and the trillions are coming. So you’ve got massive demand with a shrinking supply. 

08:23
Now, when need goes up, when demand goes up for something, but the actual supply goes down, when what happens to the opportunity for those that can deliver? So when we talk to you all about getting your securities license, we’re not kidding. It’s not like a joke. First off, I don’t know how you do buy term and invest so that someday you won’t need life insurance unless you’re investment licensed. See, it’s really not buy term and invest the difference anymore, unless you’re stuck with an IUL or a whole life contract. And really, quite honestly, once people find out what’s happening with those contracts, they don’t want them anymore. The problem is no one’s telling them what’s happening. They’re watching YouTube and Instagram and they’re getting bombarded by liars. Quite honestly, you see, when people buy life insurance, they’re paying a premium to the company. 

09:17
And what you got to understand about the insurance company is they make money on insurance. If you’re a car insurance company, you. You make money on selling car insurance. They’ve already figured, what’s the goal of an insurance company? So with car insurance, just car insurance, they’ve already figured out how to make money. With health insurance, they figured out how to make money. With life insurance alone, they’ve already figured out how to make money. Does Primerica make money? Check the stock. Yes, makes money, but add savings dollars on top of it. And now the insurance company gets to use that money also. So if they can get you to buy the insurance where they make money and get you to save your money with them, where they make money, they make more money. 

10:03
So when you send money to an insurance company for life insurance that’s got savings in it’s a very simple question. What do they do with the money when they get it? When the insurance company gets it, what do they do with it? They cover the risk of you dying. It’s called term insurance or mortality expense coverage, or actuarial science, if you want to sound smart. But the fact of the matter is, it’s all figured out. Out of 1,000 people at a particular age, they know that a certain number will die. They collect enough money from everybody to cover those that die and add a little in for profit. 

10:40
The insurance company, when you buy insurance from them and save money with them, like a whole life policy, like through Northwestern Mutual, or like through Transamerica, or like through New York Life, I don’t care what the name of the company is. I don’t care how big they are. We don’t care about their advertising. They have a goal, and that’s to use our money to make money. So the insurance company gets your premium, they buy term insurance. And what do they do with the rest of the money? They invest goes into stocks, and it goes into bonds, and it goes into government securities and into Treasuries and. And into real estate and into cash. That’s where it goes. Sounds like a mutual fund to me. 

11:22
So if they’re buying term and investing the difference with the sole goal of making a profit, how can you buy that product and think you’re gonna do better than them? You can’t. And when I explain it like that, there’s not much else that needs to be said, because all you have to do is show somebody what the premium is. So you got an insurance market that’s wide open to you. Everybody and most people aren’t even protected at all. Or they have group coverage. And then on top of it, you got this massive wall of wealth coming. 401s and IRAs. Every $10 million that you have under managed money, how many of you are 65? If you’ve got a series 65 license, will you stand up, please? Let me just see. Yeah. Congratulations, y’ all. Congratulations, you guys. I mean, really, guys and gals, really. 

12:14
By the way, that’s not. When you really understand what’s going on, you’re going to want one of those licenses you make. You make 60 grand a year in passive income for every 10 million. That means at 100 million, you got 600 grand coming in, 50 grand a month. Before you get up the first of the year, it’s coming in you go, oh, I’m going to go do that now. How about if you recruit a lot of people and in the process of field training a lot of people, you get a lot of investments and you do this over time. And how about if you get a lot of investment licensed people and the ones who want to do investments, you get to override them. That’s what’s happened to us. 

12:52
We’ve been blessed because our hierarchy, a lot of our hierarchy is very blended in what they do. See, Airbnb revenues are plummeting. Just go look it up. I mean, this is not a good deal. Look at how this works. Let’s say you wanted to do an Airbnb $500,000 home. You got to have a $50,000 down payment, right? And so 6,000amonth rental. And when you look at the net after expenses, management fees, insurance, a pain in the butt having to deal with stuff, you’re netting $501 a month. Well, let’s compare that with us. What if you have one district, you’re a vice president and you have one district leader on your team and they help a client on an $83 a month sale, you make $575 in overrides. That’s equal to that property. 

13:44
Property’s great if you got the 50, but I don’t even know why you’d want to put the 50 there when you could just go recruit, train and develop, license and help somebody learn how to help a client a month. By the way, what if they did it four times a month? That’s two grand that you would make a month with someone helping four clients a month. What if you had 10 district leaders? 10 district leaders. What if it took you two, three, four, five years to develop 10 district leaders? That’s 20 grand a month in override income. That’s income that’s generated by the team you built. That’s what fired me up. What fired me up was the idea that I could help others make money. I could do an amazing job for the consumer and I could get paid passively. 

14:32
And I never apologize for that. I love that. That’s the greatest part of our business. Let’s take. Oh, by the way, let me just go back here for a second. If you got the money under manage. So by the way, 10 districts doing it is 20,000. But if you had 20 districts, it’s 40 grand a month. Then if you have the assets under management on top of it, I think that’s where it’s going from there. What’s easier? Buying enough real estate properties, paying all the management fees and mortgage fees equal to 20,000amonth in passive income, or finding 10 people who want to make two grand a month part time from the comfort of their own home. What’s easier? All you have to do is ask. Someone asked you, didn’t they? I love these people who go, I don’t like to recruit. 

15:19
Aren’t you glad somebody recruited you? It’s not recruit, it’s how about offer someone a way to make money, change their life and do something significant, make a difference in other people’s lives. Say it takes five years to build 20 million under management. Ten agents making 2,000amonth, that’s 30,000amonth coming in passively. That’s without any of those agents making more than 2,000amonth. 360 grand a year. Passive. What’s life? I want you to picture life for a minute with 30,000 rolling in and you didn’t have to write one sale to get it. That’s what’s been built here. So do you think any of those people will want to do what you did? Well, guess what? When they do, every time you help someone make 100 grand, you make 40 grand. 

16:05
Now you all need to understand all those hundred thousand dollar earners that were up here, when they make 100 grand, for the most part that generates 40,000 of override income to their RVP. You would need a million dollars sitting in an investment basically to yield you 40,000. Passive. Or you could help one person get to 100 grand and you got an equivalent to a million dollars. Every $100,000 earner you have is equivalent in my, the way I view things to a million dollars sitting and yielding you passive income of 40 grand a year. But what’s interesting is when like somebody like John Conover’s here goes to 300 grand a year, they don’t say, oh, it’s only 40 grand a year. No, it’s up to 120 to 150. And I was with Dick Walker today, who’s 85 years old now. 

16:56
I had lunch with Dick and Beth today and Dick’s been making, you know, from our hierarchy, based on our income, the dick makes about 700 grand a year off our hierarchy. What’s even more important at age 85 is his son Mark will inherit that 700 grand, but it will be more. Cause I don’t think these guys, I don’t think Charlemagne, that crew’s stopping anytime soon. Mark inherits the income. You all understand what’s going on here. I mean my son, it’s hard to even speak sometimes to my son, but because it’s like a catch 22, I want to be around here a long time, but as soon as I’m not, he gets a windfall. I’m a little worried about that actually. So there’s a guy out there named Dennis Covier and Alan Lissain and they wrote a book called Financial Freedom. 

17:52
They wrote a book called ABCs of Making Money. It was their original book. And in that original book they talked about the perfect business. Business. The perfect business. They said, if you could invent the perfect business, what would the characteristics be of the perfect business? And they started to lay it all out. 74% of the self made millionaires own their own business. 66% of American adults want to Own their own business. But most either don’t know what opportunity to pursue or what is the best way for them to start. The reality is most of us don’t know how to go in business. I know I had no experience to go in business. I had no money to go in business. I had no training, I had no coaching, I had no mentorship. I wanted to be in business. 

18:34
I didn’t want to work for others. I had no way of doing it until I saw this. So I was in sales, hoping maybe I’d find something. And then I found this. Sales management. Sales management is very different than sales. Sales management is the focus, and we heard it earlier, it’s the focus on helping others become successful. It’s the selflessness, it’s the giving part. It’s the let me teach you knowing if you do well, I do well. That’s the system that we’re in. And here’s the criteria that they put down in their most recent book. They ask these questions, now y’ all participate with me, we’ve got a few more minutes, just hang with me. Please answer these questions. The criteria for a perfect business. Question 1. Does the business sell to the masses? I mean, how big is our market? 

19:27
How big is financial illiteracy? How important is it for the average hard working family to have someone guide and coach them on the subject of winning the money game? See folks, what we do is very noble. Yes, we’ve got this amazing recruiting opportunity. Yes, yes, you can make a lot of money. Yes, you can get overrides. Yes, you can do it passive. That’s the management system that’s created this amazing company that caused all of us to say, this is like too good to be true. I mean, I could bring somebody in and teach them everything I know about what I do. Hope they’re better than I am and I still get paid. 

20:08
See, the reality is, in any other business, regardless of how much Charlemont Jenniston likes me, in any other business, if he couldn’t have my deal, he would have gone and gotten his own deal. No matter how much Tesla appreciates you, Charlemont Tesla don’t seem to be a guy who’d be sitting around, he’d say, thanks coach, but I gotta do my thing. Rezi would probably do the same. Juden Savvy would probably do the same to Rezi. See, the very best people in most businesses, what do they do? If you work for me and you’re really good, what happens? You leave. Nowhere to leave to here. You don’t have to leave. We want you to have our contract. We want you to have our deal. We want you to have the same compensation plan we’ve got. 

21:04
We actually want you to do better at this than we do. Really? Like really like Charlemagne? What are you at now, like 17 or something? What are you at 1 7. He’s beating me. I am so happy. I’m so happy. Oh, I don’t like to lose, but boy, this is a good loss. Does it meet a fundamental need for most people? Is it low risk? Some of you bought a bottle of wine last night for 124. Does it provide an opportunity for passive income? Does it have a low staffing requirement? I run my business with one and a half employees. I don’t have to explain the half, just figure it out. It’s called a part time employee. Does it have a stable, growing, long term need demand? 

22:11
Like is this problem of people dying too soon without protecting their loved ones, is that going away anytime soon? Oh, by the way, can chat. I’m just asking, do you think really people are going to buy life insurance from ChatGPT? They’re gonna buy other stuff, they’re gonna do some of your jobs. How many of you have a job where you literally know ChatGPT is a risk to your job? I’m just curious. Anybody? Some of you need to wake up and start reading. I went to the. I went. I had an operation. Cancer survivor. Everything’s great, doing great. Thank you. Everything’s great. It was really amazing. I go, you know, after you. I have my prostate. I have prostate cancer. My prostate’s taken out. 

22:57
So after you’re like six weeks later, you gotta go in for this report and they tell you whether the cancer got spread around. So I get the report on a Friday and the report comes in and my doctor can’t see me till Monday. Now do you think I’m interested in waiting till Monday to find out what this report says? So I just loaded the report into ChatGPT and. And it told me exactly that I was fine. And I swear when I spoke to my doctor on Monday, he didn’t tell me anything different than what was in the report. Real stuff, low startup costs. How about this one? Are its products, services or business practices unique, thus providing a strategic advantage? Are the business practices different here? How about it’s called do what’s right. 

23:50
Does it have a positive cash flow and low inventory costs, like no inventory? Does it have a high profit margin? Yeah, you send 83 bucks in and if you’re an RVP, they basically send you about 800 back. That’s a pretty good exchange rate. Does it have systems to simplify compliance with all regulations? It’s unbelievable the compliance that we have done for us. How about this one? Is it portable? How many of you are from another state outside of Florida? It’s portable. It’s unbelievable. You could recruit, you could live in this. I love Abby’s story. She lives in this little town in New Mexico. When I met her, I said, where do you live? She said it was a little town, didn’t matter. She’s got 300 million people. She could prospect. She’s got the United States to prospect in. It doesn’t matter where you live. 

24:41
Is it fun, challenging and satisfying to the business owner? Are any of you having some fun? It gets way more fun with money. Does it leverage technology while maintaining face to face relationships? Does it use word of mouth referrals, primarily avoiding expensive paid advertising? Does it have a system designed for massive distribution? Does it have a track record of providing thousands of people with six figure incomes? Does it have a proven coaching system that fast tracks people’s rates of success? Does it provide an opportunity to discover other money making opportunities, other businesses? Is it able to withstand and thrive through pandemics and other black swan events? Thrive? Over the past 30 years, as Dr. Covier said, over the past 30 years I’ve examined well over 1,000 business opportunities. 

25:39
Almost all scored very low on my original 15 point scale and even worse on my revised 21 point scale, the one I just shared with you. The fact remains that there’s only one business that I found with the vision and viability for the year of 2021 and well beyond into the 21st century and which scores a perfect 21 out of 21. And as a researcher, I have tried for years to find the flaw or limitations in the Primerica business opportunity. But in all honesty, I have yet to find any. And he’s not a Primerican. I want to close. There’s a book I picked up. Any golfers in here? Who’s a golfer? Okay. You owe yourself to get this book called Greatness. Great book. Or you can have the book. Great. You can go to ChatGPT and say what’s greatness about? 

26:40
I’ll give you a very simple summary. Okay. But at the end of this book, the end of the book, the last chapter of the book, he went through all of the things. He went through all what? The pillars of success and He’s a sports psychologist and he gave. It’s a great book, great examples, great stories. But the last chapter was called Selfless Exceptionalism and I had never really heard of that. He said, we started this book by revealing that the greatest predictors of success or exceptionalism were focus, passion, mental toughness. Defined by the three questions below. These are to serve as the three pillars to greatness. Question 1. Where do you want to go? What is your focus? What is your focus? What do you want? Isn’t that what we ask every new recruit? What do you want? 

27:35
Isn’t that what we ask every client? What do you want? Number two. How bad do you want to reach that goal? So what’s your focus? What’s your passion? Number three, do you have the mental skills? This is a big one. Do you have the mental skills needed to handle the adversity along the way? Are you guys going to need some mental toughness to do this business? Say it again. So for those of you that are new that think this is a get rich quick deal, I’m sorry to tell you it isn’t. It is a get rich slow, but it is get rich if you’ll do the right things. The fourth and defining pillar of greatness is choosing selflessness. Listen to this. Choosing selflessness. It affects how you answer this defining question. Ready? Here we go. This is big. 

28:34
Do your words and actions reflect a noble heart that inspires greatness in others and makes those around you better? That’s really the definition of leadership. And when I think of this next young lady. She just got her. She’s going to be recognized tomorrow. But I wanted to recognize her in front of you. She just got her $50,000 watch. She’s in the Chernick Bay shop. Carrie and Michelle Valdez love this business. She exemplifies to me selflessness. She’s a giver, giver. And I want you all to congratulate her. Kerry, just come on up. Kerry and Michelle, if you’re here, Michelle, come on up. And we want to recognize you for your $50,000 watch and grace. Thank you very much for bringing it. But here we are. Here is your beautiful watches. Congratulations, Carrie. We appreciate you. This is how legends are made. 

29:45
You’ll get that formal one tomorrow, but I wanted to do that, y’ all. We have something special. I hope you understand that. Don’t miss out. Take advantage of it. Tomorrow’s going to be mind boggling. I think we start at beyond the business at 8am tomorrow. For those of you that want to come. That’ll be an amazing service. And then the regular meeting starts at 9. We’ll see you all tomorrow. Have a great one. Thank you. All you can do is all you can do.
