in this video I'm going to give you brutally honest advice on how to get rich I'm 27 years old moved to America when I was 9 years old as an immigrant relocated from Legos Nigeria with my mother now by 27 years old I've already made my first seven figures in business and I'm going to tell you exactly what I know guys to make yourself a successful man and to actually get rich not n this [ __ ] that people are telling you on the internet that sounds good this is the honest truth let's let's walk
right through it all right the first thing that's important is belief without belief my spelling and handwriting is terrible but you're going to get the damn point without belief none of this [ __ ] matters a lot of people have limiting beliefs around money and so did I when I was growing up grew up very very poor didn't understand what money was didn't understand what it takes to make money right and even when I moved to America my mom remarried somebody that was not rich himself so the the idea around money was money wasn't everything
money is not important the real belief around money is that money is a tool and that the more you hate on money the more you try to push money away the more you have this negative stigma around money you're not aware with what how much money you're making and what's coming in the less value you can create to the world so I always thought that the rich people were crazy rich people were evil rich people were you know they just had the money somehow they they had these unequal opportunities these favorable opportunities that were granted
to them that made them successful and that's far from the damn truth right if you don't have proper belief you're not going to be able to create value and value is what makes you rich value is what makes people exchange currency for your services if you don't believe that you have enough value to give people you would never make enough money this is why I believe a lot of people are in dead in jobs they're in careers that they hate because they don't think that they're good enough to create the value that people can then
exchange give them money for so without belief you can't create value if you don't have that self-belief that you can actually help people you don't have that self-belief that you can do things that matter you're not going to be able to stand out in terms of what skills you can acquire so people can start giving you money and then when it comes to Value you have to solve people's problems if you can't solve people's problems you're not going to get any money but guess how you solve people's problems by first solving your own the best
way to start a business or the best way to have an idea that it's going to make you money is to solve a problem you already have what problem do you currently have that you have a passion of solving what problem do you currently have that if you solve this problem will make your life easier because us human beings we're very selfish if you can make the problem that you're solving start with you when you didn't offer that problem solving to other people you're going to have a lot more trust in the problem that you're
solving the difference that I see was going on is people are trying to give advice on problems that they never actually solve themselves let me teach you how to get rich by selling you a course and hoping that you can give me money to fund the course if you can solve a problem that you have me specifically I was obsessed of obsessed with the Dynamics of dating I wanted to get good with my relationships I would watch videos I would do all I would trial type of [ __ ] because I wanted to solve the
problem I wanted to have a dating life that I was happy with I wanted to be the guy that had choice so I went on a quest to see how can I get so good at this [ __ ] that it doesn't become a problem for me anymore because when I was growing up I was never desired by women women didn't look at me as the kind of guy I was not the pretty boy who just get results right I was kind of always overlooked especially being as an immigrant when I moved to the US
I was made fun of I was called African booty scratcher I was called all type of [ __ ] and the women you anything if you understand women women don't like men that are away from the group and I was always kind of away from the group but I wanted to get better with this come to high school same thing I played sports but I was still always the Immigrant guy the the guy who just kind of figuring it out I didn't know how to play sports I just kind of was throwing going in there
because I wanted to do it but I didn't really get I wasn't really good at it until I decided okay I'm going to start looking at the dudes who are good with women and see what exactly are they doing differently and that's when from high school to college I started to get very very interested in becoming good with my relationships and alongside that I became a college athlete I ran D1 foot track and field because of the same Obsession I wanted to get good at some kind of sport because I was never good at it
I was always coming back to solving a problem that I had I wanted to play sports that I wasn't good at started with American football wasn't great at that picked up track and field my last year of high school right end up getting six scholarships to go D1 because I just wanted to be good at sports the same way with I wanted to be good with women so I I solved the problem that I had and then once I became aass at the problem that I had soled for myself I then had the authority had
the belief that I could help other people's but if you don't have a pro if you haven't solved a problem for yourself how in the world you going to solve the problem for others so number two solve a problem that you have the third brutally brutally honest advice that I can give you is to separate yourself by being original not unique so this is something that I think a lot of people make the mistake of doing is when they want to make content or they want to start anything they do uh how can I copy
as many people as possible and become now a guru how can I copy as many people as possible and become this new found guy if you're watching my videos there are tens of thousands of pages at this point or hundreds of pages who are trying to literally copy my videos and hope that they can get rich from it but that's not original you have to be original in who you are I found a lot of success in the business world I found a lot of success in the content creation world when I when I stayed
true to who I was when I started giving value with my bold my direct style that's when I I I was more in tune with who I am I didn't try to reinvent the wheel this something I think a lot of people make the mistake of you try to reinvent the wheel and say okay I'm going to just start something completely new no I knew in the content space in the business space solving people's problems was a way to do it like was a way to display your expertise at something but I didn't have to
create something brand new but I always thought to myself how can I remain original how can I be fidex philes how can I be true to myself how can I be me while giving value and solving a problem that I already had and then helping people solve that problem but if you're trying to be copycat hey this person did this let me go just go do it you're never going to build something that people are interested in getting advice or Knowledge from you there has to be originality to who you are you have to have
a story behind who you are I think my story is pretty original immigrant to the US built myself up athlete engineer business owner content creator right this is who I am I didn't try to go be like somebody else you can't input my story into you but I'm not some brand new person that has a struggles that are so different that nobody can relate to when you're original you're relatable when you're unique it's a lot more challenging and when you try to do something completely brand new it's going to be super uphill clim so focus
on being original not unique the fourth brutally honest advice on how to get rich how I became a successful 27 year old was I stopped trying to win on my own there's a saying that goes if you want to go fast go alone but if you want to go far go together and I learned this the hard way I think that I would have made so many more so many so many less mistakes if I would have allowed myself to be taught allowed myself to learn from others I always thought that if I just if
I just figured it out on my own I'd be good to go it wasn't until I decided to allow myself to make mistakes and learn from the people who made the mistakes already that I started to see growth my business did not take off until I brought on a partner until I started working with a director until I started working with people who have done the before getting advice from people who have done it before stop trying to win on your own you're not going to figure it out by yourself and it's it's a waste
of your time there are people who have made mistakes from you what's funny about this is my dad named me after a guy called Adavan bismar who was a German chancellor my original name is bismar and one of bismar quotes is fools learn from their own mistakes winners learn from the mistakes of others I wish I'd have been told that quote a lot earlier because that is the advice that I think is golden if you can learn from as many as many people's mistakes as possible your journey will be a lot less headaches a lot
less suffering you're still going to suffer you're still going to have to sacrifice but if you allow yourself to learn from people who have made the same mistakes as you you can actually get to your goals a lot faster it wasn't until I stopped trying to do everything on my own and trying to get all the benefits from myself I always thought you know what if I figure it out on my own that makes me smarter right no it makes you foolish because nobody figures it out on their own knowledge has been passed down from
centuries to centuries the saying there's another saying that goes network is your net worth the people you know will give you information that will advance your life that is so true surround yourself around people who are just as dedicated and hungry as you and I guarantee you you're going to learn things that will advance your life to allow you to start making a lot more money a lot faster the fifth brutally honest advice on how to get rich hard work is not enough so a lot of what you see on the internet is work hard
work hard work hard work hard and one thing I've learned as becoming a successful 27y old is that hard work is not enough and I'm going to go a little bit deeper here so so please follow me I think a lot of people who want to be successful think that if they just get their discipline on point that's going to be enough to get them Rich no I think the people who are very successful they already have an a good element of hard work it's the hard work it's the consistency it's the Innovation it's the
pride it's the lack of ego it's all these things that will make the hard work you're putting in actually be worth it it's the teamwork I don't think hard work is enough there a lot of hardworking people that don't ever make seven figures there a lot of hardworking people who are still living paycheck to paycheck hard work is not enough so I think you need hard work and on top of a lot of other things are what's going to allow you to get the success that you actually want but if you struggle to work hard
you don't even have a shot and that's what I'm trying to get to a lot of people are struggling with just working hard I think if you don't if you can't dedicate yourself to something and do it on a consistent basis and have discipline and pride in who you are you don't even have hard work the free [ __ ] the hard work is free The Innovation the the intellect the sacrifice all these things that you got to do on a on a even more consistent basis the teamwork the dedication the leadership all the things
that require you to be actually successful is what people don't talk about they just say work hard but I don't think it's enough I think that's just the bare minimum I think hard work is the bare minimum especially in the age where we're in now where you got AI you have information that is at a at a fingertip hard work has actually been replaced a lot of people can just if they if they innovate enough they can actually be successful but they still have to have some level of hard work so I think oh yeah
just work hard no there are plenty people who work hard and it ain't just work hard you know hard work you know work smart not work harder you have to have an element of everything I think if you give yourself enough opportunities with hard work with enough Innovation with enough intellect you're going to give yourself a better shot of being successful but if you struggle with just doing what you're supposed to do which is what I think a lot of people struggle with it's not going to work you're not going to be consistent enough to
go through the trials and tribulations that will actually put you over the top because the thing about success is it's it comes down to momentum how can I build enough momentum doing the right things in order for me to eventually get over the top you know what's funny I've been doing live streams helping my audience out for over two years every week several live streams a week answering questions it wasn't until the last 6 months or so that my live stream start to pick up but I was dedicated I was consistent and the hard work
was just a part of who I am I kept innovating I kept trying to get better that's when took off most people wouldn't even make it that far because they don't have the simple level of dedication just keep doing things on a consistent basis you haven't built enough momentum to where your efforts compound in order for you to get where you want to go your efforts need to compound to eventually get you your desired outcome but if you can't do that you're not going to make it because guess what even if you do do that
you have to have somec decent level of intellect you have to be able to innovate you have to be able to grow you have to be able to take feedback you have to be able to be coachable you have to actually solve a problem you have to be original hard work is not enough so just quick recap solve a problem you have have incredible belief because if if you hate money and you're running away from money you think you don't deserve to make money or you think only a specific type of person needs to make
money or people who make money are evil you will never get it what you think you believe what you believe you get if you don't think that money is for you don't worry it won't ever be for you you ain't going to never get get some all right so incredible belief is what allows you to create value that you can provide you have to solve a problem that you currently have I think that's one of the fastest ways to get started think of a problem you have that you can solve for yourself and then think
about how you can teach that to others I wanted to get better with women so I I got better with women then I started teaching them about getting better with women in relationships same thing with my physique I got an incredible shape before I became a personal trainer separate yourself by being original not unique be who you are to your core but don't try to reinvent the world and do some [ __ ] that that's never done before number four stop trying to win on your own expand the pie don't worry about keeping the entire
pie you keep the percentage if you kept 1% of a trillion that's more than 100% of nothing so expand the pie bring other people on innovate help other people get on bring a lot of expertise because you're not smart enough neither am I there are a lot of people who are smarter than you who can help you on your journey but if you think you can figure it out on your own you will never get far right and lastly hard work is not enough you need a little bit more than that you're going to have
to work a hard work is like the entry level hard work is the beginner got to have some Innovation intellect Innovation everything and that's it man hope you guys enjoyed this video let me know what your favorite part of was let me know which part you you agreed with the most leave it in the comments and I'll get back with you guys next time
