11. Providing for your family is more important than your BMW.
Cars don't put food on the dinner table.
They don't pay the mortgage on your home, either.
Your #1 job is to provide for your family, period.
If the car is getting in the way, sell it. Now.
10. We don't value free things.
Everybody wants free shit, but we don't value it as much.
Without skin in the game, people will lose interest.
Never give away:
▫ Your time
▫ Your eBook
▫ Your secrets
When you do, they become worthless.
9. Most don't understand money.
Your friends want to "get rich," but for the wrong reason.
They want money to SPEND, not to build wealth.
NEVER make a significant financial decision just because your friends are doing it.
The Joneses are broke.
7. Your potential doesn't matter.
The world only cares about what you've done.
▫ Show results
▫ Speak in actions
Accomplishments will make you successful.
6. The vast majority of millionaires are self-made.
Fidelity found that close to 90% of millionaires never inherited their wealth.
They earned it.
Assuming all millionaires are lucky or evil will make it more challenging for YOU to build wealth.
Stop it.
5. Your office competition is weak.
▫ 60% are dead weight; unpromotable
▫ 35% barely do their damn jobs
▫ 5% are high performers
If you smile, show up every day, and do your job, you're already well ahead of 95% of your peers.
3. Those who think they need $100 million to be happy will NEVER be happy.
If you don't understand the definition of *enough*, you're doomed to live a never-ending hustle.
2. Happiness is a skill.
For 99% of us, we choose to be happy. Or angry. Or sad. It becomes a part of who we are.
We can't always control what happens to us, but we can control our reactions.
Choose to be happy.
1. Risk builds wealth.
▫ Real estate
▫ Stock market
▫ Cryptocurrencies
Or:
▫ A new job
▫ Moving overseas
▫ Going back to school
To build wealth, put your money at risk.
To build character, put yourself at risk.
