taking risks with money and working so hard that family health become low priority will lead to short-lived breeches being rich means having money but being wealthy means having quality of life everything else in your life on hold to make money you may get rich but you'll probably hate your life look I'm a coal miners son my great-grandfather my grandfathers and my dad they were all coal miners as well this means that they knew hard work and they knew risk risking their life but what you got to recognize this I didn't come from money and I want to change my family's destiny and financial future so I didn't have any pedigree or a handbook or any money handed down I just had a loving caring family so wherever you're starting or wherever you're going let me help you to avoid some of the missteps and mistakes and embrace the things they're gonna give you meaningful lasting wealth by age 27 I own a successful business had a some real estate had an oil and gas investment out of hard money lending fund which is bridge financing to finance for other real estate bills and I was building a three-story commercial building and I was just about to hit the Inc 500 list sounds pretty great but in reality I was lost and misguided I was seeking approval and societal success through money and external validation and I was trying to prove my worthiness in my career as I chased that which didn't even matter that much because honestly I neglected my family I neglected my health and it was pretty damaging I wouldn't have admitted any of that at the time but I was growing pretty miserable I was definitely stressed and the 2008 recession was looming around the corner see if you're gonna strive and hustle and do all of that that's gonna leave people kind of in a bad position because most people that are striving are actually scared and lost and they're running to an empty promise that promise of accolades and societal success and more money will equal more prestige and more happiness but it will bring is a lot more problems a lot more complications and if you neglect these other things in your life it may be extraordinarily short-lived so taking on too much means you're going to be overworked following all the far too many books and so-called gurus to tell you have to hustle and grind it's gonna leave you trapped it's actually likely to leave you empty and afraid because if you identify with all the things that you've built and all those accolades and there's ever any interruption or cash crunch or economy change well you're gonna be in a pretty frail place that can lead to pretty destructive thinking so no matter how much more I could get there would always be a reason to feel like I could do more have more be more and underneath all that was even a feeling of failure because there's always someone out there that had done it a little bit better or had a bigger story or had a bigger business so what can you do instead and how can you achieve wealth let me break this down into three simple parts for you number one rich is definitely about having a lot of money but being rich and wealthy is not an either-or wealth is different it begins with this fundamental belief of scarcity scarcity is that competitive nature where someone believes it's a zero-sum game winner takes all and it's all about how you can out work or out hustle to get something in scarcity fear doubt and worry or the mantra scarcity has this belief that there's a finite pie and if one person has a piece that's less for everybody else and in that place it's the hustle it's the grind it's that if I'm sleeping someone else is making money if I'm not working harder someone's working harder than me if I don't have more than I'm worth less that scarcity drive society in a negative fashion in fashion so let's look at the other side abundance abundance is a belief in innovation ingenuity and value creation it's an ax belief that even if there's a finite amount of money there's an infinite number of times that money can exchange hands and then exchange through value creation creates more wealth not less so abundance is actually that you could be wealthy and you can't have it all and what that means is we look into something called the five tracks of wealth so being rich only looks at one of the tracks and that's how much money do you have but the five tracks also looks at purpose it looks at you know mindset it looks at your health and it looks at your social life so Finance purpose my said you know physicality and health and then social life so it's about having depth and harmony in all five of those areas it's not about balance because no you guys are out of balance right now watching this we're always out of balance that's not the goal there's no such thing as perfection perfection is a plague that drives us to constantly strive and never enjoy it's never about the space in between and where we're at today it's always on the horizon if once I get there then I'll be happier that if then when mindset destroys humanity not builds it up so in the five tracks of wealth it's being intentional that's what I mean by having harmony is you're being intentional about what you want your life to look like defining it on your terms not letting society dictate what it is that depth is being present it's not wishing the past were different or chasing a future and running away from who you are and what you've been like those places aren't where happiness is those aren't healthy and healing places they're very harmful psyches that is propagated through the media and through the consumeristic society that probably began way back in the times of Edward Bernays he was Sigmund Freud's nephew that was hired by presidents and his job was to create consumerism it was that notion that you gotta have a house with a picket fence and a certain number of cars it's the keeping up with the Joneses that we have to have these appearances of wealth instead of having these feelings of significance or value creation and five tracks of wealth looks that in the eye and says you know what it's about what wealth means to you wealth is a state of being wealth is about healthy living wealth is about enjoying life along the way and it isn't one-dimensional either sure money is a big part of it money is a lot like air you know when it's not around is pretty damn suffocating but when there's plenty of it you don't have to focus so much on it so you can look at value creation you can look at impact you can consider legacy you're not just looking your own needs and necessity it's beyond that when it's filled up where you can say how can I contribute to others it moves from me to we now I'll give you time where I have this epiphany it was July 3rd 2008 I remember I was really for the first time gonna have a year after a decade where my business was in decline rather and growing and it was a year that I hit the Inc 500 and so I had all these external validations that look like wealth from the car that I drove from the home that I lived in and the reality was what I was most excited about even though this was the first time I had a cash flow crunch and was having money troubles is that I was launching my book killing sacred cows which felt like purpose like I was so excited to get that out there and help people defeat the financial myths that were holding them back to give them a book there was a permission to succeed invest in themselves to discover and uncover their sole purpose and understand that money was a part of the equation but not the only part of the equation and at the same time I had the right mindset because of that level of excitement I was on the mornings getting up and doing a daily ritual to protect and be more abundant I was in innovation and creation mode and at the same time my health was getting better we were about to go to a barbecue for the 4th of July I remember eating really healthy and feeling good and swimming around the pool with my son on my back and feeling really strong and ultimately I'm just gonna go then hang out with my family that night we had fourth of July plans everything was dialed in other than my bank account had never been that low my bank account was low because I didn't mind my cash flow along the way and because I didn't change my economics and and the cash position moving into recession which right now were in a very similar situation but I knew it was temporary if I stuck to principle I knew it was temporary if I considered wealth comprehensively and didn't just look at chasing money or identifying who I was within my money so in order for you to consider what wealth is to you let me ask a few questions if money were of no concern what would you do each day in your life what would matter most would you continue on the path that you're on are you in the career that you want to be in are you facing any regrets because of the time that you do or don't spend with loved ones or the time that you do have or don't take care of yourself right and have that self-care and you know look if if money were of no concern for me going back and asking us it well I wouldn't have done real estate other investments outside of intellectual property because writing killing sacred cows was a critical moment of my life it changed the relationships I had and the the things I'd been learning to share with people and watch the impact it made in people's lives you know at that time I would have valued leisure and art more like playing guitar and riding and going to my cabin and being in nature but I was too busy before that in the grind so yeah at 2008 was kind of this line of demarcation so if you're facing economic turmoil or crisis right now admits Co vid and all the chaos happening in 2020 now's the time for you to really reinvestigate ask yourself these questions and say what's the next chapter of your life gonna be now let's get to the second simple step which is understanding the money myths that hold us back and once we understand this you can let go these myths and I call it let go to grow killing sacred cows was about this is a matter of fact if you want killing sacred cows download it on me well factory calm for its last mega kit M eg a ki T I'll even give you another book what would the Rockefellers do that's being updated into what would billionaires do that you can do regards to the finance situation that you're in these are my contributions to you but let's look at these subconscious money myths that are holding people back a big one is a lot of people believe money is the root of all evil it's a saying that you'll hear you know some people quote it as a biblical but the reality is yeah it's in the Bible but there's more to the statement you know the love of money is the root of all evil it's when people love money over people versus love people and use money yeah there's people that have this belief that money's root of all evil but they're conflicted because they actually want more of it because money allows us to exchange with other people allows us to put you know to be able to engage in buy food or or go do things of leisure and have fun or have a home and a roof over our head right or or be able to have internet there's so many things that money can allow us to do but if we believe it's rude well evil we're gonna remain conflicted and that subconscious belief is gonna continually diminish and destroy wealth for the individual now look I saw that growing up as a kid I woke up in our camping trailer once by myself and there was this little plaque on the wall that how to devil it said money's we were all Eva oh my god that's like that not etched into my mind and kind of scared me but if we really start to under money understand money is a byproduct of value creation as a place that we store whatever we've created value in the past that we haven't redeemed that value for ourselves well first it doesn't dictate what we do moving forward but it gives us access to goods services and experiences because of the value that we create that is as long as you're not involved in deception coercion or you're against the principles of prosperity which if you're watching this video I don't think you're that kind of person so the good news is you can have more money and be great it's not mutually exclusive money and prosperity can actually be of the most spiritual people like I look at Mother Teresa right people things that she had a vow of poverty and look I get it she gave all of her money to eradicate poverty she had such a big mission and vision but the reality is she flew on you know private airplanes she could walk into any corporation and they would give her money because her vision was so big and she let money flow through her it didn't stop when it got to her which that's where money starts to corrupt people when it's only about more and bigger and net worth and not about the value that it can deliver now there's other statements and subconscious beliefs like dirty filthy money right and that's yeah there's plenty of that out there when people are you know involved in cartels and money laundering and the unfortunate thing is that's the exception to the rule but most people think it's the rule that if you have more it's because you took from someone else and if there's some downside to capitalism it's that when people start looking to take rather than give when people start looking for haves versus have-nots and they start viewing it as you know like hey I've got to get mine or stupid statements like it's not personal its business that's what people tell you when they just screwed you over right so we can look at movies we can look at statements and when we think about money movies about Wall Street make these statements like dirty filthy money make it feel true but look the individual that's contributing value that's focused on value for others rises above that money simply an efficient means of exchange it's simply a tool instead of the main thing that people are chasing so instead of asking how do I make more money ask how do I create more value instead of wanting more of what other people have go out there and create a life that you love getting clear about what you do to serve other people but there's other you know subconscious beliefs like money changes people well I think you know I've heard really famous people like Oprah's money is like a magnifier right people that had do good can do even more good it's about enhancing that or showing that energy so those that are integrity earn money through value and if you look at that as a magnifier where you can redeem other people's services or you can have a big vision that can make a massive impact well then money becomes extraordinarily useful but if it's something that you're just trying to spend or something you're just trying to take or something that you're willing to sacrifice your integrity over it's not money that's the problem it's the individual philosophy all right let's let's talk a little bit more because I mentioned capitalism and let's look at it on the far other end communism capitalism leaves others behind right it does this when it becomes about competition and destroying others rather than collaboration cooperation and uplifting others I believe more in free market than I believe in capitalism because unfortunately in today's capitalism it's become more like cronyism where you have major corporations funding politicians and then they work in collaboration to stifle other people that are trying to be a start-up or bring value out there and what I'd love to see is more individuals succeed and it's great because now more than ever the Internet has leveled the playing field doesn't matter as much where you're from as it used to doesn't matter your ethnic background or the level of poverty that you came from it matters the skill sets you develop and the value you create but on the other side lots of good communism a thing is built upon a lie communism isn't about you know the heart on top that it claims to be right it's not about love it really gains hold them people want to protect the loved ones they care about but ends up still in their future because it's not about individual personal responsibility it's about relying upon a government that can't fulfill the promises that they are actually talking about and the same happens in almost any economic system so that's why the key here is personal responsibility I get communism as appealing in that competition can destroy right and it's an illusion of eliminating competition but honestly ask the question how much do you trust any government or your government where do you feel you put your trust in your skill set what if you put trust in being a great human being and developing that so you could be part of the solution now look you can grab my books to guide dive in deeper at wealth Factory calm for its last mega kit but let's moved in to point number three money is a byproduct it's misleading when it's the ultimate goal so if that's what you're chasing is money what creates more money is more value what keeps it exchanging is service and solving problems so people that only think about that what they can do to make more money a lot of times sacrifice by trading their time for money or do things that they don't love to do because they think it's gonna make them money or whatever that may be don't look at it that way look instead about what fulfills you how can you be of most service how can you create the most significant value what if it wasn't just about you it was about other people and what if the vision was just beyond like you know if I wanted to boost my profits 10% great but if I want to show a million people how to boost their profits by 10% that would be extraordinary so if you're not in the financial situation that you want to be number one check your value creation consider a new vision think about how you can impact more people or more deeply impact the people that you serve and the thing that will destroy wealth the fastest is victimhood victimhood is where people say I would be wealthy but I would be wealthy but this person's bad or this person's wrong or the system's against me look I get there's people that face extraordinary circumstance there's people that have been in extraordinarily difficult situations but if you use that situation or circumstance as the card to continually blame your your situation for where you're at it doesn't help you what if instead you chose a new step moving forward what if instead you asked the question of how can I be of most value and rather than blame start looking for solutions to the problems like there's a global economy out there and it's pretty messed up you know there's a lot of Creek chaos going on no one can really predict what's gonna happen with Cove it'd what's gonna happen with it over the consumeristic lending based society that doesn't have as much value creation where people are just printing and adding money to an economy that feels complicated and overwhelming but your personal economy is something you do something about right now you can help your fellow man person that's in front of you you can start offering services you can even give something away for free to build a reputation and to get referrals whatever that may be the bottom line is or to be wealthy responsibility is key you start by getting rich without losing what is important in life so let me give you the top ten rules to get rich number one you must invest in yourself number two you must take personal responsibility number three you must create recurring revenue that income that happens month in and month out versus having to go to work the next day otherwise there's no income coming in number four you've got to have liquidity you've got to have savings and safety and stability at least six months it's available to you and if it's not there yet it's time just get to work on it number five you must manage risk the wealthy no they don't does it doesn't take high risk to get a high return yet most of the poor middle class or chasing risk in hopes that they're gonna have that lottery syndrome and a bunch of money's gonna come their way you got to learn to manage risk number six you got to automatically save and deliberately invest what that means is pay yourself first have automatic amount of money going to a certain account and then when there's enough cash on hand and the right opportunity arises then you allocate it toward an investment people have skipped the step of saving and automatically invest and don't save enough so that way when there's a crisis or a cashflow crunch they're in a world of hurt you've got to automatically save build-out liquidity and then deliberately invest number seven focus first diversify later I know people have been told diversification is key but diversification is a preservation strategy Andrew Carnegie said he put all his eggs in one basket and watch it like a hawk focus on your abilities your investor DNA what do you already know how can you expose your skill sets enhance your skill sets and monetize those skills to produce more value in the marketplace when you've got more money than you know to do it either a expand your vision or to start to consider diversification number eight you've got to utilize a team nobody has the answers to everything I've got great tax advisers I've got amazing legal advisers for the corporate structures I have I got due diligence type of team to help me with the investments and analyzing what's going on I've got cash flow specialist and look I started with nothing I started with a family didn't have a team like that it's something I built over time you take your first steps you go to wealth factory com4 it's less private if you want to engage in a team that we've already built or go out there and build your own number 9 you must care more about what's right then who's right I call this intellectual honesty I first started to analyze phone cases that thought they were amazing and as we started to look a little bit deeper and see there were some issues with it I wasn't happy because I was putting money into 401 K I was getting matched in a 401 K at the time I was like wait if there are problems because there's a lot of fees there's a lot of volatility there's you know penalties there's there's no cashflow along the way there's you know I mean there's a myriad of problems especially the performance with most of the funds that are fueling this I mean I just started to get really kind of sick to my stomach but I was more concerned about what was right then who was right so if you focus on that you can learn over time versus defend things that might be missed or that it might be missteps that you end up learning the hardest way which is through experience 10 you got to learn to say no you got to learn to say no to things there's there's plenty of investments out there there's plenty of opportunity a lot of people chase the wrong ones out of simple scarcity or greed so when you can say no to things that aren't part of your sole purpose when you say no to things that aren't part of your investor DNA then you reserve time for the things that are most important to you which might be your health which might be your family which might be your business or which might be a certain type of investment that speaks to who you are now to go from rich those are those rules to wealth let's add dimensions of what does it take to build a life you love so you can make that switch well first is create a vision that you don't want to retire from when people want to retire they're not in the right profession they're not doing things that they love or maybe it's too physically demanding that came from an industrial age especially from a coal mining family that yes you want to retire as soon as possible but what if you're so engaged you're so excited you have something that could even outlive you that you want to work on that for the rest of your life that is being wealthy now create a vision that's big enough to inspire yourself and others it's the second point here a vision big enough that it's not just for you but other people can help support it that's where part of the miracle is where other people go I love that how can I contribute what can I do I learned to take help third thing do something meaningful regardless of your current circumstance financially especially right what's one thing you can do to serve someone else what's one thing you do to solve a problem what's one thing you can do to add value one person can make a meaningful difference in someone's life if they're just willing to take the steps and make the effort number four invest in people and your own purpose before you go invest in products that you know nothing about the next is be a lifelong learner as soon as you think you've arrived as soon as you think you know everything that type of arrogance usually has a big bat that swings and there's a lot of losses so be careful continually to continuing to learn allows you to grow as an individual and manage money a whole lot better now treat yourself is your greatest asset that's the next point you are your greatest asset not a stock bond or piece of real estate so what can you do to invest in yourself and your mindset and do the condition you know - the environment that you're in - the people you spend your time with and then enjoy the space in between what if there was nowhere to get nothing to do what if you could just look at a moment right now and say this is great and just enjoy that space because a lot of people you know the movies kind of silly but Adam Sandler had a movie called click where he could just fast-forward through life and then he misses out on so many things a lot of times people want to fast-forward through the pain or the difficulty but sometimes that becomes the ingredient for the vision sometimes that becomes the passion of what we're gonna move towards and what we can do to help and serve humanity then determine what matters most to you and design your life to live on your terms so the questions are what does matter to you who matters most to you and what is wealth mean to you okay next point relax rejuvenate and Recreation right find ways to enjoy life along the way not wait till retirement and love yourself and others that's the final piece of the wealth aspect people are the only real asset being in relationship is the greatest gift whether that's friendship marriage mentoring and make sure you're spending time with the right people that uplift and edify and positively challenged because taking risks with money and working so hard that your fam health become a low-priority will lead to short-lived riches and there's never happiness found there being rich means having money but being wealthy means having quality of life - when you apply these steps in the new rules to get rich and only be rich in money but in experiences and quality of life now you have the knowledge to transform your thoughts into profits and build the life you love if
