some people will never be rich and no it's not about where you grew up who your parents are your gender or the color of your skin let us explain welcome to alux.com these 100 dots are meant to symbolize the world's population from a quality of life and living standard perspective to be rich means you're part of the top 20% to be poor you guessed it it's the bottom 20% everyone in the middle is called the middle class where you can be broken into upper and lower middle class but that's not of interest to you you
see being rich is relative you're only Rich compared to other people in order to qualify as Rich you need 80% of the comparable population to have a quality of life lower than you do this applies to both a macro level and to your local community by simple statistics if we agree that this top 20% rule in terms of living standard applies then 80% of the population will never be rich so we're done with this video right well there's more to the story because we judge our wealth and quality of life compared to others the laws
of this basic math simply doesn't allow everyone to be in the top 20% because then it wouldn't be the top 20% make sense technically if you compare the quality of life we enjoy today from a Time perspective almost everyone on planet Earth has a higher standard of living today than Someone who lived 100 years ago here's where the mindblowing part happens unless you're in these 0.001% of the bottom of the population you're enjoying a higher quality of life than most kings and queens to ever live if you were a king in the 1600s or before
and you got sick you basically winged it through Witchcraft and alcohol life expectancy was under 40 years and most diseases would kill you because witchcraft wasn't that crafty it took 200 more years for us to begin developing medicine so yeah while we've been living better than Kings with our cell phones electricity access to water travel and without traditional slavery for a while now but you don't feel rich because the top 20% rule applies you're only Rich if you're doing better than your peers but alux what does it take to make it to the top 20%
and why aren't more people willing to do what whatever it takes we are glad you asked that question imaginary voice in our head well it boils down to two simple truths and one of them is a lot harder to digest than the other here's why most people don't make the leap into the top 20% in terms of living conditions one on a macro scale it's about access to resources information religious culture and infrastructure this is why everyone in Switzerland is considered rich compared to everyone in South Sudan poor people people love this argument because the
reason for their poverty lies generally speaking outside of their control the government is corrupt and instead of building effective departments to better the population they're wasting money and keeping everyone poor which is factually true in most of these struggling countries but there's a second truth that's a lot harder to digest and this time it's not on a macro level but it boils down to your local community two on a micro scale the reason why most people don't become locally rich is that they aren't willing to learn and make the sacrifices required for Success yep we're
going there it's only a small subset of the population who are willing to sacrifice Decades of their lives Embrace high levels of risk with a very small chance of success to break out of the general population for financial and societal gain this happens both in rich countries and in poor countries anywhere you look you can find examples of people who come from nothing and molded themselves into greatness so we know it can be done what most people choose to ignore is the dramatic level of sacrifice and discipline required to make the leap if the biggest
Factor keeping you in poverty is geographical it usually requires leaving your roots behind in order to relocate to places with more opportunities it's incredibly hard to leave your hometown leaving the familiar space and venturing into the unknown on your own and get guess what over 80% of the population is not willing to take that kind of risk statistically you'll be born in the same geography as your parents were you'll be educated there find a partner within a 30m radius from where you were born spend the majority of your life working no further than 60 minutes
from your home and you'll probably die there as well this is a wakeup call for you watching this video right now if in this equation you aren't able to maximize the opportunity available to you regionally you'll likely live an average life a decent life but nothing out of the ordinary the second part is finding out your physical and mental limits are you able to work 8 hours a day 10 to 12 to 14 hours a day are you able to learn and willing to keep doing it over and over again without any immediate outcome this
part relies on being able to delay gratification a concept the 80% is not familiar with self-control plays a big part in both of the discipline is the highest form of self-love are you willing to learn every single day and deploy what you learn over medium to long periods of time knowing that you'll be better off because of it well if you are there's a specific tool out there that allows you to leverage the smartest Minds in the world in order to measurably improve your life based on academic research like the stuff mentioned in this video
there are no other tools like it and we know of it because we built it we created the Alx app to to be your own Executive coaching tool right in your pocket scan the QR code on screen right now to get yourself a yearly subscription for 25% off money success and fame are a delayed gratification long-term game which relies on doing work that compounds over time until a certain goal is achieved basically are you willing to sacrifice the present for the future how much sacrifice are you willing to make are you willing to work when
others are part ing are you willing to learn skills that add value instead of being entertained are you willing to be ridiculed and laughed at for your efforts knowing that practice and failure are all parts of the journey most people are not most people wouldn't even try and out of those who do a good portion will quit at different stages of the process but here's the catch because richness is a delayed gratification game you only win at the very end if you quit at 20 50 or 80% you don't get anything wealth is the prize
for bearing this sacrifice successfully and coming out on the other side there needs to be a reward for those creating value for everyone else this is how our society works and that's how you will there's also a good portion of luck and timing involved as well and these two go hand inand if you're watching this video you already won the luck part if you survived until now you're lucky if you don't have a major physical or mental disability you already won the luck part you have access to technology to curated quality information and the largest
Marketplace for opportunities Humanity has ever known every generation gets its own unique opportunities to build wealth for us it was the internet Revolution if we were born 20 years earlier we probably wouldn't be able to connect with you the way we are if you're born today social media as we know it today might be oversaturated and your opportunity might lie in the gamification of AI or digital realities this is why you have to understand timing as well you probably don't want to start a physical newspaper business some elevators go up and some go down be
careful which elevator you choose to enter find where the opportunities of your time are and focus your efforts there gain specialized knowledge in a field where value is being generated and societ will pay you for your skills most people aren't willing to learn how to use the tools of the present because they're so locked in on the tools of the past so those who do learn how to use them have a massive competitive advantage that's your opportunity money wealth and success are a lot less complicated than the world makes them seem life is a winnable
