The 10% Power Play: The Wealth Strategy Hiding in Plain Sight
Jun 17, 2025
What If the Key to Wealth Was Just 10% Away?
When we think of building wealth, our minds often jump to investing in the stock market, buying real estate, or launching a business. But the truth is, wealth doesn’t begin there—it begins with what you keep.
That’s why we created The 10% Power Play™—a simple, powerful challenge to help you build real wealth, starting with just 10% of your income.
Let’s unpack why this works, why it’s achievable, and how you can join hundreds of others choosing to save first and live free.
The Real Problem: Most People Don’t Save
Let’s get honest for a moment:
- Over 60% of Americans can’t afford a $1,000 emergency, according to a 2024 Bankrate survey.
- Another report from the Federal Reserve shows that 1 in 3 adults would struggle to cover an unexpected $400 expense.
These aren’t just statistics. They’re symptoms of a deeper issue:
We don’t have a money management problem. We have a money momentum problem.
Without a system, savings feels impossible. Without a goal, it feels pointless. That’s where The 10% Power Play™ changes the game.
What Is the 10% Power Play™?
The 10% Power Play is a 90-day savings challenge designed to help you:
- Take control of your cash flow
- Redirect just 10% of your income toward savings
- Build momentum toward your emergency fund and investing goals
- Prove to yourself that you can grow wealth without needing more income first
You’ll learn how to track, adjust, and hit your savings target every week—with support, structure, and community accountability.
It’s not about deprivation.
It’s about setting aside a slice of what you earn to claim a better future.
Why 10%?
You may be asking, “Why not save more—or less?”
Here’s why 10% hits the sweet spot:
- It’s psychologically achievable.
10% is enough to move the needle, but small enough to feel doable on any income.
- It’s financially proven.
Classic wealth-building books like The Richest Man in Babylon and experts like Ramit Sethi recommend saving at least 10% of your income as a starting point.
- It creates habits that stick.
Once you get used to setting aside 10%, it becomes automatic—and soon, you’ll want to increase itI - It’s future-focused.
At 10%, you build a solid emergency fund, reduce stress, and start investing faster than you think.
The Benefits of Hitting Your 10%
When you consistently save 10% of your income, three major shifts occur:
1. You Build Financial Cushion
You’re no longer one car repair away from chaos. Your emergency fund becomes your safety net—and your peace of mind.
2. You Gain Confidence
Tracking progress builds belief. As you watch your savings grow, your mindset shifts from struggle to strategy.
3. You Buy Back Time
With savings in place, you get breathing room to make intentional career, business, or life decisions—without financial panic driving them.
