hey there my friend now in this video we're going to be looking at reality not wishful thinking okay we recommend re-watching this video at least once every month in order to not lose track of what it takes because the truth is in order to get rich or super successful there are plenty of sacrifices to be made success or riches always come at a cost and if you're on your journey to getting them for yourself let's best to be aware of these and plan accordingly because getting rich is not for everyone you're free to live a
mediocre life if that's what you want we're not going to pretend that life is filled with rainbows and sunshine because it isn't hopefully at the end of this video when you look at someone who's incredibly successful or Rich you'll give it a second thought and think of the sacrifices they've made to get to where they are today if you're one of those easily offended types and this is the first video you're watching on our Channel well this is your cue to close the video and go watch something else the following list is based on the
average reality of multiple multi-millionaires and billionaires from multiple countries and cultures aggregated into a single list but there isn't a single individual out there who made it big without making at least some of these sacrifices to get to where they are today so with that said here are 15 things people sacrifice in order to get rich welcome to alux the place where future billionaires come to get inspired so starting off at number one family now we wanted to start with family because this is the last thing people want to hear that they will have to
sacrifice many successful individuals postpone starting a family for a later date they start one only after they've accumulated success this is probably one of the most important sacrifices one makes in order to be rich the road to financial success demands so much focus and effort put into it that it would be almost impossible to achieve the same of greatness if you're being sidetracked by personal feelings well that's just the truth successful people don't get married early on almost never in their 20s and for sure they don't have children as soon as the rest we've touched
on this in the past how having a kid early on is pretty much Financial self-destruction trapping you into the rat race in order for you to acquire wealth this process needs your undivided attention the moment one has a child that that child immediately becomes the focus point and everything else falls behind as it should be now a third aspect that gets sacrificed is the relationship with your family parents and siblings require time effort and sometimes Financial Resources as well all which you are not in a position to spare in the beginning stages of your journey
so if you're serious about getting rich it sucks to say that you won't be available for your relatives but you're not going to focus on building a family for yourself at this stage of your life and that's why you'll postpone having a child this is one of the harshest realities of which most successful and Rich individuals sacrifice in order to get there number two Health now we've always mentioned Health as one of the most important ingredients to a successful life but this video focuses on getting rich the Paradox is that most people sacrifice Health in
order to get money and then they sacrifice money in order to regain their health we'd all like to believe the iconic image of the entrepreneur working 16 hours a day hitting the gym for 2 more hours eating kale and meditating for at least 1 hour in the morning but the truth is the road to riches will take a toll on your health the most common feeling is that of tiredness because most individuals have difficulty falling asleep the goal keeps you up at night there are worries to consider and everything depends on your ability to manage
them on entrepreneurs live with a tremendous amount of stress in their lives they usually neglect their health in the pursuit of happiness number three friends there is very little room for a social life when you really want to be rich one of the first things you should sacrifice if you want to make it is the people around you who are not pushing you further cutting down on the toxic individuals is a must Then followed by those who are not actively making you better it's fairly common for successful people to dramatically reduce their inner circle with
a focus on the quality of individuals the average future millionaire has 1.8 close friends and they themselves are also focused on getting rich that way they can push each other further along the way you need people who can relate to your struggles and who can understand why they're putting in this kind of effort nobody else is going to understand with the exception of individuals who they themselves are doing the same thing if you really want to make it your inner circle should decrease in size but increase in value number four Hobbies Hobbies by their nature
produce very little value to both yourself and your immediate environment not only that in order to maintain a hobby it demands time attention and most of the time Financial Resources as well if you want to be rich and you're not where you want to be in life you can't afford to have a hobby that's just the truth you can go golfing paint Landscapes or whatever you find worthy of calling your hobby after you've taken care of the basics why do you have a hobby when you can't take care of yourself Hobbies should be the last
thing on your mind number five time the road from zero to financial success will take an average of 7 to 10 years depending on the industry your emotional intelligence your intellect your ability to play the market and the volume of work you're able to put out in order to make it happen and guess what the days you spend at your computer or negotiating with clients are probably not going to be the best years of your life but it's a sacrifice one that needs to be made if you're serious about getting rich because it's that time
that yields the results you're looking for 7 years might sound like a lot of time and it doesn't mean that those years will lack any kind of positive memory time will pass either way so make sure to invest it wisely ask yourself the following question are you willing to eat for several years in order to eat caviar for the rest of your life well if the answer is yes you're on the right track and at this stage the very best way for you to use your time is to invest in yourself as often as you

you love what you do nobody is Happy working 14 to 16 hours every single day that is not how Evolution designed us so there needs to be a balance between the amount of Happiness you're willing to sacrifice in exchange for material gain if you sacrifice too much you might not be able to cope with your new reality now this video is not a to-do list of some kind it's a Frank observation of reality and you should treat it as such sacrificing your happiness at this stage will result in you being able to enjoy different types
of happiness in the future like being able to spend quality time with your child when the time is right because you won't have to worry about paying the freaking bills every month that's a trade you should be willing to make and at number seven we've got another controversial one sleep now you can't sleep okay broke people sleep you've got to be willing to sacrifice some sleep sleep is for billionaires that's an interesting quote isn't it in recent years people are pretty split on this topic right you've got people like Elon Musk who sleep the absolute
minimum amount required to get him to function and then there are people like Ariana Huffington she's the founder of Huffington Post for those of you who don't know who she is she says sleeping more results in higher productivity and nobody should cut down on sleep sleeping less is an amazing Advantage if you make quality use of the time while you're awake there's no point in sleeping 5 hours a night if you're only going to be working 8 hours during the day sleep is the first thing anyone should sacrifice when they begin their Journey 6 hours
of sleep at night is really manageable and you can fit a lot more work in during the day so start by trimming that sleep number eight eight who you are hey luxer if you want to be rich you want to be successful you need to sacrifice who you are in order to become who you want to be it's pretty smart to think of yourself in terms of a work in progress similar to software this is your current version but don't be afraid to make updates fix bugs and reiterate whatever makes you you your current reality
didn't make you rich the current version of you wasn't able to solve the puzzles needed to further your achievements from a financial standpoint so you need to do something about it evaluate who you really are what are the things that set you back what are the things that the current version of yourself failed to do then seek ways to transform yourself in that department an easy aspect to point out is discipline because if you lack discipline you're probably never going to be successful poor people always lack discipline this is because success in any form comes
from repetitive actions which add up over time unless you can discipline yourself you won't stand a chance number nine entertainment so after sleep this is the second thing people who want to get rich should sacrifice there's no need for you to sit down and watch 10 episodes of friends there is no value in that okay poor people always justify waste ing time in one form or another if you're just starting out as we know most of you are immediately cut out the low and medium levels of entertainment in your life unless you're a professional Esports
player there's no need for you to be spending time playing video games there's no need for you to watch sports or TV for that matter at all unless you're the one on TV there's no need for you to be on social media unless you're running a media business this is not a video on how to be happy in life okay this is video on what it takes to get rich you need all of your creative power and working hours to be put in and compounded into you achieving your goal you can't half-ass this okay because
if you half ass it you're going to fail number 10 stability getting rich is a roller coaster it'll take a lot of ups and downs until you reach the destination you don't know what tomorrow holds and you don't have the luxury of being at ease you need to move yourself to position yourself to meet new people to negotiate your own reality and provide for yourself since nobody's going to go get it for you if you believe your environment is keeping you from being successful sacrifice it okay move somewhere else you are in control of this
ride if it doesn't work out you're the only one who is to blame although the journey is a roller coaster the ride is worth it so get busy number 11 income you might not like to hear this but until you make it big you need to sacrifice your share of the income you put it right back into the business or project until you make it there's just no other way all right you're not going to be a baller while you're still pushing toward it every single dollar needs to be carefully planned out where it should
have the most impact to go toward and usually yourself you are pretty far down the list unless you're going to use that money to develop your own set of skills this is just reality okay whenever you see people flaunting their purchases without them being where they want to be in life we just we feel bad for them as they are actively sabotaging themselves here number 12 Comfort unless you're born rich you'll have to struggle to get there and sacrifices need to be made the simplest way is to sacrifice comfort and then use the cash to
accelerate your growth it is mindboggling how many people blow away their money on meaningless things that they perceive as comfort you don't need that new iPhone your old one still works perfectly fine you don't need to live in a big house or apartment in your 20s cut down on rent and use the remaining cash somewhere productive poor people stay poor by trying to look rich while rich people are busy getting richer by acting like they're poor many highly successful individuals refer to this period as their Ramen phase it's the time when you cut down on
comfort so much you survive on the bare minimum there's no need for Comfort get yourself some ramen noodles and get to work number 13 the need to be liked disagreeable people are a lot more likely to become rich and successful than agreeable people this is a fact okay not an opinion in order for people to like you one needs to sacrifice oneself for the good of the other that's how it works but who's seeing growth and who isn't this doesn't mean you should become an or anything okay it just means you need to focus on
yourself first and sacrifice the need to be liked by others if others will like you for who you are and what you're doing that's fine but you'll never go out of your way to make that happen getting rich is about getting the job done not by being the most popular person in the room number 14 Pride you do what you have to do to make it happen if you're too proud to work at a fast food joint through the night while you're working on a project you'll never be able to make it because pride is
counterproductive you don't need to think of what other people will think of you mostly because people will only really care about themselves anyway you do you okay maintain focus on your goals on your objective and make your dream become a reality trust us when we say everybody respects the winner you just have to get there so put your head cut down sacrifice The Pride you have and make it happen for yourself and your future family that is how you win and number 15 immediate desires people are always seeking immediate gratification from even the slightest of
efforts that's what makes the difference between those who are going to make it and those who just want to portray the image that they are if you stick to the plan put in consistent amounts of work and Improvement you're bound to see positive results the process here is pretty linear as soon as you get that first glimpse of success it's easy to fall into the Trap of congratulating yourself for the lap instead of focusing on winning the race what usually happens is while you're busy fulfilling immediate desires you stray off course and end up with
that small win as your highest point do you want a small win or do you want a big win stay focused a like sir these are the current rules of the game of money you are probably hoping for an easy fix but the truth is that people who do make it to that level are highly intelligent individuals who are driven disciplined focused and they sacrifice almost everything for their career Journey the expense for the success you seek is a great one so think twice if you really want it and what you're willing to do to
achieve it and alexir rewatch watch this video and see how you can improve yourself at least a little in some of these aspects we really hope you'll be able to see the value in this video and if you do share it with someone who's got the same mindset as you do what do you think alexir is getting rich and living the lifestyle you want worth all of these sacrifices let us know in the comments and you know we've got a Bonus fact for you for watching Until the End right here it is number 16 these
sacrif ices are short-term versus long-term rewards so after looking at this list you might think who in their right mind would sacrifice their family just for money well in order for this video to not be wrongfully interpreted we want to make this clear you can have everything okay you can have a loving family a close group of friends a healthy lifestyle the social status and the comfort you want you just need to postpone them by a couple of years the alter alternative is living an unfulfilled life a life cursed by the question of what if
and trying to justify other people's hard work as luck or Good Fortune these are the realities of what it takes to get it all work hard when they won't so you can enjoy a life they can't it's always interesting to see how many people fail to watch even this video Until the End if you did please write I want it all in the comments just to keep track of who the real alers are thanks for spending some time with us my friend until next time take care
