so you want to get rich and you want to do it as fast as possible there are some ways to do it that are dark and that I've done and I'm I did I thought I shouldn't make this video because when you finish watching this you're going to probably see me a little bit differently there's 10 things that you need to do that aren't pleasant and dark and go against everything that you've been told they are not conventional they are not fun they do not feel good they are things that you're going to have to do they are sacrifices you're going to have to make and they're not very nice to be completely honest like they kind of suck but I did them and they made me $30 million what you think it was going to be easy you want to get rich you want to become a millionaire you want to build a business you want to be free did you think it was going to be like a happy golucky pleasant ride look at anyone throughout history that's achieved anything of significance ever whether it's economic or political or social like everything's being built off the back of some dark [ __ ] and that's just me being honest with you so there's 10 things you got to do and they're all a little bit dark the first one is stop believing in yourself oh didn't see that one coming look the truth is that if you were the person capable of achieving what you wanted to achieve you would have already done it you yourself you are pretty much worthless and I don't mean that in a in a pointing the finger egotistical way you're not you don't have any skills you don't have any value you don't have any experience you're not you're not if you were deserving of success you'd already be successful you don't deserve it that's why you don't have it so you why would you believe in yourself this is why people have so much and don't worry I'm going to give you a caveat to this to not completely [ __ ] your emotions the problem is is like you're not good you're not you know you know what you're doing so why would you place faith and belief in someone that doesn't know what they're doing it would be like take take a friend that you know that's a bit stupid and a bit goofy would you believe in them and their ability to build a company of course you wouldn't because they don't have the skills and the capabilities to do it and you probably don't either right so the point I'm making here is instead of believing in yourself what you want to do is you want to believe in your ability to become the person that can get it done and what this looks like is look at what you want look at your goal look at what success looks like and then ask yourself like what qualities or characteristics would I need to have to achieve that so let's say for example you wanted to build a multi6figure consulting business or a multi6figure drop shipping business or a sevenfigure company you probably need to know how to sell persuade communicate etc and you probably don't know how to do that right now so what you need to do is you need to have faith in the person that you are becoming so you believe in yourself but only in so far as you believe in your ability to become the person that can the reason you have so much crippling doubt and fear and terror about becoming successful is because you're putting you're backing the wrong horse you're backing a slow horse yourself believe in who you are becoming if you want to achieve a goal you have to achieve a character right you you become the person that can and then lo and behold it happens because you can make it happen so stop believing yourself believe in who you're becoming still it's kind of you but just you in the future with more skills and more more abilities the second thing is stop manifesting so we've all heard of this law of attraction thing right doesn't work i can tell you it doesn't work because I tried it for years and then I tried something else and I'll tell you what works this whole notion that the universe is this benevolent force that just wants to give you things is a load of rubbish you know that Rocky quote like the world is a very mean and nasty place and it will beat you to your knees and keep you there if you let it that's kind of the way the world works like the universe doesn't just give you things it takes things and then it gives you things in return and I'm sick of this notion being pedled in this online internet space money space of just like just manifest bro and just you know believe and you will achieve and if you can see it you can have it like it's all rubbish the thing is is people talk about the law of attraction right this whole idea of attraction but really it's the law of action if you want to get things then you have to do things a lot of people what they'll do is they'll just I saw this like video that someone sent me on social media of this girl in a park just screaming at she was like she had her head up in the sky and she was just screaming at the sky like I am attracting abundance it's like all you're attracting is weird men that are just you know into that i don't know so it's not about the law of attraction it's about the law of action which means if you want to get something if you want to manifest something the only way that's going to happen is through laborous hard work for years and years on end you can't just talk about it and have it happen this is the weird This is this weird female bias as well i see this mainly with girls who are like "Oh yes I'm just manifesting babe i'm just But like if you look at if you track commercial success against the masculine realm and the feminine realm the masculine beats the feminine every single time this is why there's way more male CEOs it's why most companies are maleled it's why men have more money than women like not to get political here but men tend to have a better success rate we do biologically speaking like socially speaking the stats are there we make more money than women and I can't help but think that part of that is because of this idea for women that it's all about just feeling and just letting it happen and I think a lot of guys are guilty of this as well and I'm not saying it's like a just a female thing it's not exclusively just to women but if you want commercial success and if you want to build money and wealth and financial freedom it's not something that just happens it's not you can't just sit up and look at the sky and expect it to come to you it takes action so stop trying to attract and start trying to act and actually something might actually start happening in your life and that wasn't supposed to be iterative but it was the third thing which is also a little bit dark is you are not emphasis on not good enough so you know you've probably been told by society and your parents and your friends and your schools and your teachers and the government everyone tells you "Oh you're good enough just be happy with who you are and just be authentic and you know just be who you were meant to be darling. " Same scenario you're not good enough you're good enough for to have what you have now but if you want what you want you must deserve what you want because the world is not yet a crazy enough place to reward a whole bunch of undeserving people there's a Charlie Munger quote for you right there and he was a billionaire and he was pretty right about pretty much everything he ever did if you were good enough to have what you wanted to have then you'd already have it for example I make you know eight figures i live in a mansion in the sun in in Dubai i've got a team of 30 people i'm healthy i'm happy i've got a great social life my life's pretty damn good and the reason that my life's pretty damn good is because I'm good enough to have it i spent basically a decade of my life suffering for this and now I suddenly became someone that was actually capable of doing something but what happens is like you know in order for you to succeed and transcend your current situation you have to transcend yourself you have to become someone new and if you've got this notion in your head that you're already there then you're not going to try you're not going to change and you know we don't we if you want to change your circumstances you have to change yourself and I can tell you right now that what you have right now in life is exactly what you deserve there might be a little bit of lag and latency but for the for the most part for almost all of you what you have is a is reflective of what you've given and what you've sacrificed right the fourth thing is you should compare yourself to others so another happygolucky notion that we all seem to have in modern society is oh don't compare yourself to others and you know comparison is the thief of joy well let me tell you something for a second Hick if you want to get rich and if you want to build a business you're going to have to sacrifice your happiness for the next 5 to 10 years and that's just me being honest with you they say comparison is the thief of joy but are you optimizing for joy you know I saw a Mrbeast podcast episode the other day and someone asked him about his mental health and they said how's your mental health and he said if I was concerned about my mental health that if if my mental health was a more of a priority I wouldn't be so successful and I resonated with that because it's true like you you're not it's not like the whole getting rich thing is a horrible process it sucks it's like really painful and it's psychologically damaging and it's not fun and I don't get this whole like just be happy you should just do just be happy it's like name me one great man through history that's actually truly been just optimizing for happiness and joy like it's not happiness is not this it shouldn't if you want to get rich and be really successful and great you can do that whilst being happy i'm not saying you shouldn't be happy not saying you should be depressed or miserable i'm just saying that you're going to have to do things that temporally temporarily make you unhappy for example like this whole comparing yourself to others thing right that you can see on the screen here like you're it's a competitive game you're against people you're going to have competitors who are going to try and take clients from you who are going to have better products better marketing better sales teams better systems better infrastructure and if you just bury your head in the sand and be like "Oh I I don't I'm in a league of my own i don't compare myself to anyone. " It's like well then you're you're you're in trouble um you know it's kind of like trying to get into business and not wanting to compare yourself to people would be like trying to get into competitive bodybuilding and not comparing yourself to people because the only How do you win in bodybuilding where you have a better physique than everybody else and how do you know if you've got a better physique than everybody else well you compare your physique to everybody else's so this whole lovely this lovely notion you know you shouldn't compare yourself to other people but success isn't lovely so you know I wouldn't bother trying to do that you know it should piss you off like if someone's got more than you you should you should go on Instagram with your shitty life and scroll through people with good lives and get pissed off it should annoy you you should compare yourself to them it's a it's indicative of a of a need that you have to grow and get better man so you know this is a big one sit with anxiety or depression now I have been anxious before i don't think I've had clinical depression but I've definitely had periods where I've been very down and look I'm not a psychologist i'm not an expert in men men's mental health but what I can tell you is that if you are anxious or you are depressed then you have got a very good reason to get to work and do things anxiety and depression are to me you know I've got a very practical notion of these and a lot of people will disagree with me and that's totally fine to me these things are like reasons to work you know because basically these these the symptoms okay everyone thinks that anxiety and depression are the diseases but really to me they're the symptoms that something is seriously wrong you know I heard a quote once I can't remember where it was from it said you're not there it's like a thing about young men with anxiety you know because what happens a lot of people they just they get anxious they get depressed they just roll over and they just admit defeat to these illnesses and they just they they just become very docile and they just let this these illnesses just run them over and I heard a quote once saying "You're not anxious you're just playing a competitive game and you're losing.
" And for men anxiety can often manifest because your perspective of where you sit on the social hierarchy is too low and that is a very reductive way to look at anxiety and men's mental health of that I am well aware and there are probably genuine cases of real clinical anxiety that come from biological means and I'm not trying to dis discredit anyone's mental illness here but a lot of the time if a man is experiencing anxiety or depression it's not because he's anxious or depressed but just because he has a [ __ ] life and that's his own fault you know if you're out of shape if you're broke if you've got no friends if you have no female prospects if you're like like of course you're upset of course you're anxious of course you feel worried and nervous and of course you feel you know sad it's like sometimes it's not it's not because you sometimes the reason you have anxiety or depression is because you have a bad life not because you have anxiety or depression like typically like imagine this for me let's say that you have a bit of a proclivity towards anxiety or depression right now and let's say that you know you feel a little anxious a little depressed if I gave you um a successful business with meaningful work and great people to be around and work if I gave you a fully um healthy like well ststructured social life if I gave you a healthy clean body full of you know vitamins and just like you know you you look in great shape with great health and perfect sleep and everything and then if I also gave you like um a woman to love or a man to love or whatever you're into and like a meaningful deep relationship would you still be as anxious or depressed no you wouldn't like you know yeah sure there maybe maybe you have a biological you know reason to suffer but that's rare very rare and I think that a lot of these like you you don't want I mean this is my thing i've been anxious and I've had not depression but I've had very sad times in my life and what I've always done is instead of rolling over and taking pills or talking about it in therapy for hours and hours on end I've got to work and I've I've seen these diseases as as as being symptomatic of some a further problem in my life and I've usually found that by fixing those problems that the anxiety and depression goes away they're signals it's your brain telling you that things aren't good and so you want to sit with them you want to process them you want to feel them you want to deal with them you don't want to bury them away but the way you get them to go away is by fixing your life not by just taking some medicine trust me like this might not be true for everybody but I can only tell you my experience and you might disagree and you know maybe I'll get a message from a female friend from 5 years ago saying "I can't believe what you said about that. " That's fine but this is just what's worked for me right i'm not saying it worked for everyone um number six stop living i need to stop doing stop stop living in the moment so this is another bias this is kind of dark right everyone's like "Oh you just need to live in the moment you just need to be present and you know you just need to be here in the now and just you know business is delayed gratification success is by by its purest nature delayed gratification it's impossible to succeed without things taking time right and so when someone says like "Oh I just live in the present or you know I'm just living in the moment. " What that usually means is they are living in hedonistic pleasure and they're just giving into their immediate psychological desires and impulses in the here and in the here and now all of my life I lived in the present moment for the future and that's pretty much my any any entrepreneurs's existence anyone that's done anything significant with their life or has achieved anything spends all of their time in the present or in the moment thinking about the future or trying to avoid making mistakes that then manifest in the past and you know I just there's no there's no time for this do you want to get rich do you want to be successful who can't afford to do the the partying and the drinking and the the drugs and the alcohol and the you know the the random trips here and there and the the stuff just to be in the present moment i'm not saying you shouldn't meditate i'm not saying you shouldn't take a moment to be in the moment i'm just saying that you shouldn't optimize your brain and your life and your time to be in the here and now all the time you need to be almost living in the future and thinking about the future and constantly you know trying to draw that forward this what I want to say is all of this advice only applies if you're if you're seeking extreme commercial success so you know if you're just if you want to have like a normal life just like a normal standard average mediocre life it's absolutely fine you don't have to do these things but if you want to experience any level of you know abnormal commercial um abundance you know which is millions and millions of dollars then these things become pretty necessary and you have to unsubscribe to the the newsletter so to speak of of society number seven is sacrifice everything not your religion not your mother not your health anything that isn't one of those three things you know family body and God has to be put on the fire there isn't much time for anything if you want to get it done properly you're going to have to get rid of friends if you want to get it done properly you're going to have to get rid of people you know people in your life that don't serve you you're going to have to get rid of everything like when I think back to everything that I sacrificed I've sacrificed everything for my goal the only thing that I the only thing that I have really that is is outside of my my work is my relationship with God my family and my relationship with my family my body and my health and my mind because I still take good care of myself and my very limited and small social circle that's it anything that isn't that has been thrown on the fire all addictions all junk anything else has been gone and I don't make time for anyone else or anything else except for my work and my goal and you know this is the thing about becoming successful to you know that quote in um Interstellar at the end maybe you haven't seen the movie but it's like one thing humans haven't figured out how to do is get somewhere without leaving something behind it's kind of like the fundamental law of propulsion basically um get rid of everything sacrifice everything remove everything like all these things that you think you need you don't need them like you know you need a bed and a desk clean running water a roof over your head a decent social life a family and your body like everything else can be pretty much sacrificed right there's going to be a few things here and there that you might want to keep but video games junk food pornography the news social media anything that isn't the work or a fundamental biological or psychological need should be sacrificed and the more you sacrifice the more you give the more you'll get trust me like billionaires are masses of sacrifice basically yeah so this is an interesting one so number eight is you know this whole idea of um you have all the time in the world you know that whole idea when you're like 20 and then all your grandparents are like "Oh like the world's your oyster like you've got all the time in the world just go traveling it's not right man like you don't have all the time in the world like if you go and look at the history of the of the cosmos we don't have much time you know we've been given this gift of life this remarkable you know consciousness that we get to experience and like you don't really have any time you've got maybe like 80 90 years max and you're probably already 20 right or around that age so let's say you make it to like the the median average age in the US or the West which is probably like 85 or something like you've probably only got like what 60 years left 50 years left that's not much like you know it's you really don't have much time at all this notion that you've got all the time in the world i get sometimes I get like sad thinking how little time I have because here's the thing is like how much time time is proportion to um ambition and so for example I'm I'm very ambitious in so far as that I want to build a massive multi-billion dollar corporation be hugely successful and you know acrew tons of wealth and be really successful and influential and the the thing about that is if my goal was just to make six figures then I've got all the time in the world because it's not it doesn't take that much time to do that but to build a massive enterprise with real true commercial value that takes a long time and so suddenly the the the the the compression time frame window seems so severe because I want to do so much and what little time I have and how much time you have is is indicated by how much you want to do kind of like let's say that you're going to Paris for 3 days and you want to see 30 different tourist attractions suddenly you have no time at all but if you go to Paris for 3 days and you just want to see the Eiffel Tower now you've got all the time in the world because it's what you want to do compared to how much time you have that makes sense so you do not have all the time in the world stop using that as an excuse to go to barley and just mess around with people on surfboards on the beach because you will regret it if you want to be rich once again this does not apply if you're not interested in building genuine commercial value um number nine it's not going to be okay you know I I had this this friend once who was a girl and I was going through a bit of a tough time and bless her she was so sweet and she she used to tell me like "It's okay to not be okay and you know everything's going to be fine like it's all going to be okay in the end.
" And I appreciated the sentiment and I think that's a nice thing for her to say but when it comes to business struggles and when it comes to you know commercial struggles you know enterprise struggles in in in the company or with money it's not going to be okay like if you've got a problem and you just if if someone right put it this way imagine you go to a doctor and you have um pancreatic cancer right the hardest cancer to cure what the doctor's not going to do is tell you "Don't worry you're going to be fine it's all going to be okay. " Because what happens when when they when they do that is they basically invite complacency into your life like you now suddenly you're like "Oh I'm going to be fine anyway so it's fine. " What a doctor does is they they empathetically stress the severity and the gravity of the health situation at hand and that then encourages you and forces you by nature to take action to solve the problem if you have a business problem or if you're broke or poor like right now you might be broke and someone might say "Oh it's okay you know is this all going to be okay everything's going to work itself out in the end no things will only work themselves out in the end if you work and the only reason you're going to work is because you believe that the only way it's going to work is if you work but if you fool yourself into this comfort trap of thinking like "Oh I'm going to be fine.
" Then you're screwed then you'll never be fine because you're never going to do anything so anytime someone tells you that it's going to be okay it's like it's not it's like you know like when I've when I've had like personal problems before like mental health problems and someone's like "Oh it's all going to be okay. " It's like "Yes it will be if I do something to fix it. " So you don't want to invite this little complacent statement into your life it's a dangerous thing and then the last one is this idea that everything happens for a reason so you know this this statement which is kind of like oh everything happens for a reason like you know yes it does it's cause and effect right but what a lot of people say is they say everything happens for a reason but they think it's this like mystical woowah thing that's out of their control everything in the universe is cause and effect everything happens because something else happened it's like the laws of physics and nature and if if your life is in a bad situation like I see this where people justify things where like someone will make a really bad decision and a series of terrible mistakes and end up in a really shitty place in their life and what someone will tell them or what they'll tell themselves is "Oh everything happens for a reason.
" and they'll comfort themselves with the fact that this thing has happened and what happens when you believe this everything happens for a reason idea is you basically are telling yourself that you are a victim of the universe like oh I'm in this bad situation because of some reason no the reason is you like you are where you are because you put yourself there it's not it's nothing else other than that there's there's no magical mystical force i mean yeah God the universe whatever you want to believe in but in my opinion you do everything to yourself and it's very stupid and idiotic to do something stupid make bad decisions like getting fat or getting into a terrible relationship and then facing the consequences of those and then just saying the reason that you're in a bad place is because of some reason no it's you you did it and as soon as you absolve yourself of the responsibility or personal accountability for the outcomes of your existence then you're in some deep trouble that's when you get the depression anxiety that you cannot solve because you as far as you're concerned it's the reason and because you can't see the reason or define the reason why would you even try and fight it so that's 10 things they're dark they're not they're not fun success isn't this fun journey i know you've seen the movies and you read the books and god forbid you've seen the lifestyle vlogs sucks man it's not fun it's not an it's not an it's not like a it is fun because you know you get to get really rich with the boys and create lots of value and you get all these shiny objects from it but you know it's it's not this isn't for everyone this I think people understand this with like athletes like I think you'd understand that if you wanted to be like a professional athlete you've got to go through pain and you got to go through real trial and struggle and you know we we get that if you want to be a pro boxer it's really difficult if you wanted to be like a proate basketball player it's really difficult it's competitive etc etc you know if someone if someone got bronze medal at the Olympics well let's say someone came fourth place at the Olympics no one would turn around at that person and say "Oh don't worry mate everything happens for a reason.
