Buying "used" in the context of Mult34 —which is a philosophy of high-efficiency living and systems architecture—is a bit like buying a "used" education or a "pre-owned" business strategy. You aren't buying a physical object; you are acquiring proven systems, templates, and frameworks that others have already stress-tested.
If you are looking to adopt the Mult34 lifestyle without starting from scratch, here is how you "buy used" to save time and money:
1. Acquire "Used" Templates
Instead of spending 40 hours building your own Mult34 dashboard in Notion or Obsidian, buy or download a pre-built one.
Where to look: Marketplaces like Gumroad, Etsy, or the Notion Template Gallery.
The Benefit: You are buying the "used" logic of someone who has already figured out how to balance the 3 Pillars and 4 Execution Modes. You just swap in your data.
2. Purchase "Second-Hand" Knowledge (The Resell Market)
The "Wisdom" pillar of Mult34 emphasizes continuous learning. You can get $1,000 worth of expert systems for $20.
The Strategy: Buy physical books or course summaries from people who have already completed high-level masterclasses.
The Hack: Use sites like AbeBooks or ThriftBooks to find annotated copies of business and efficiency classics (Atomic Habits, The 4-Hour Workweek). Sometimes the previous owner's margin notes are the most valuable part of the "used" system.
3. "Adopt" an Abandoned Project
In the Mult34 framework, "Wealth" often comes from digital assets. You can buy a "used" website or side hustle that someone else built but no longer has the energy to maintain.
Where to look: Flippa or Empire Flippers.
The Benefit: The "Create" phase is already done. You are jumping straight into the "Optimize" and "Yield" phases of the framework.
4. Skill-Swapping (The "Used" Labor Market)
Instead of paying full price for a consultant, trade your established skills for theirs.
The Strategy: If you have mastered the "Wealth" pillar (finance), trade your "used" expertise with someone who has mastered the "Health" pillar (fitness coaching). You both get expert-level results without a cash transaction.
5. Open-Source Communities
The ultimate way to get a "used" Mult34 system for free is through open-source repos.
Where to look: GitHub or Reddit communities (r/selfhosted, r/productivity).
The Benefit: You are using code and workflows that have been "used" and patched by thousands of people, making them more resilient than anything you could build alone.
The "Used" Inspection Checklist
Just like a used car, a "used" Mult34 system needs an inspection:
Is it bloat-free? (Does the system have too many useless features?)
Is it compatible? (Does this template work with the tech you already use?)
Is it scalable? (Will this setup still work when your "Wealth" pillar grows?)
The Mult34 Rule: Never build what you can borrow; never borrow what you can automate.
Would you like me to find a specific Notion template or book list that matches your primary goal (Wealth, Health, or Wisdom) to get you started?
