- 13 things to avoid if you want to become rich.
A lot of people they struggle financially,
and they think to themselves oh, you know what?
I can not become rich because I don't have enough money.
Or I don't have enough capital.
I don't have the right idea,
or I'm not in the right industry.
Or I don't have the right connections.
You know what?
From my experience that's not what holds most people back.
What holds most people back is this one thing.
And that is:
ego.
That's right ego.
Now you may be thinking no, I don't have any ego.
What are you talking about?
I'm just struggling financially I don't have money.
No that's not true.
You see ego comes in many disguises.
When I was broke I had many, many of these
ego's that are holding me back.
Today I'm gonna share with you 13 of them.
Comment below and see if you recognize any one of them.
And if you think you don't have any,
that is exactly the problem.
Number one
the blame ego.
See lame people blame people.
Their blame ego says well its not my fault,
it's the governments fault, it's the economy, right?
It's the industry, it's my co-workers, it's my parents,
oh you know what, I come from a dysfunctional family
and that's why I will never become rich.
Or all my friends oh that's why I will never become rich.
Or because my supervisor, he is holding me back
and that's why I could never become rich.
See the blame ego always says it's someone elses fault.
Their always pointing fingers.
And remember when your pointing finger to someone else,
one finger pointing out,
guess what three fingers pointing back.
Do you have this ego?
Do you blame other people?
Do you make excuses?
Then maybe the one that's holding you back.
Number two the know-it-all ego.
See when I was broke I thought I know it all.
I don't need to read books, I know what I'm doing.
I was starting all these businesses and guess what?
None of them work.
Cause I thought I knew what I was talking about.
Guess what, I didn't know shit, okay.
You don't know shit.
See the know-it-all always thinking they know everything.
Keep doing the same thing again and again,
and expect a different result.
That's the very definition of insanity.
The know it all ego.
Number three the fearful ego.
You see what holds a lot of people back is fear.
Fear of success, fear of failure,
fear of making a mistake.
Think about it before you do something
you're saying to yourself well what if it doesn't work?
Or what if I lose money?
And what if I make a mistake.
Then what happens what if I don't know what to do,
what if I can't figure this out?
The what if, what if, what if, what if.
What if it does work?
You see always remember fear is an acronym.
It stands for false evidence appearing real.
It's nothing more than a made up story in your own mind.
So do you have the fearful ego holding you back?
Number four the comfort zone ego.
It says I'm comfortable.
I'm happy where I am, I'm content.
Things are fine, you know I don't need to be that ambitious,
well that's the problem.
Your income zone is your comfort zone.
Your comfort zone is your income zone.
When you get complacent, when you get comfortable
you're not growing.
Remember when you're not growing you are dying.
So do you have this ego that is holding you back right now?
And what are you gonna do about it?
Number five the judgemental ego.
I want you to imagine this.
You are walking down the street
and suddenly you hear vroom-vroom!
And suddenly you see a red Ferrari
Vroom!
Just drove by.
What's the first thought that comes through your mind.
Comment below, no filter, no edit just comment below.
What's the very first thought that comes to your mind.
My guess is chances are he's an asshole.
Who does he think he is?
So cocky, so selfish, probably a greedy bastard.
Actually you know what, probably not his money
anyway it's his daddies money.
Or if it's a lady, a woman, oh that's a gold digger right?
All these negativities, guess what?
That's you judging other people.
My question to you is how do you know?
How do you know?
It's all made up stories in your mind, right?
And you say oh he's not that good.
She is not that pretty.
He is not that smart.
You're judging other people, you're projecting your
own insecurities, your own values onto other people.
How do you know that man is not a hard working man?
How do you know he's not a good husband?
How do you know he's not a family man?
How do you know he's someone who's worked
20 or 30 years to get to where he is at this point.
How do you know?
You judge, you come to your own conclusions.
Before even talking to the person
you see how your mind works.
How are you gonna be successful,
how are you ever gonna become rich if
that's the image that you have
for people who are successful.
Number six the excuses ego.
You see you can make money, or you can make excuses.
But you can not do both.
An excuse is nothing more than a well planned lie.
You see the excuses ego says well, I can't afford it.
I don't have money, right?
Or that's too far, or that's too,
too difficult, too I don't have enough experience.
It's always I can't, I can't, I can't,
or I don't know how.
You see you could have a million excuses
why you can not do something.
You only need one damn good reason why you must do it.
Number seven the people pleasing ego.
Well I just wanna make sure everybody's happy.
Everybody's okay, right?
Yeah I know but I don't wanna rock the boat, right?
As long as everybody's okay then I'm okay.
You try to please people too much.
You always put other people first.
Nothing wrong with that.
But sometimes in life you have to put yourself first.
Even when you're flying on an airplane,
you gotta put on your own oxygen mask first
before you help someone else.
Sometimes in life you have to put yourself first.
You have to be a little bit selfish,
so you can be generous.
Comment below if you know what I'm talking about.
You always put your family first,
you always put other people first.
My question to you is what about you?
And you might think you're so selfless.
No you're being selfish.
That's people pleasing ego in play.
Number eight the justification ego.
You justify why you don't do something.
You justify why you can't do it.
You know I am too young, I am too old, I am an immigrant.
I speak with an accent, I don't have enough experience.
Or maybe you know what, it's too late I'm married,
I've got husband, I've got a wife, I have kids, right?
I sacrifice for my kids.
And you know what I never wanted it anyway.
That is a lie.
You justify your failures.
Don't use your kids as an excuse.
Use them as fuel, as your motivation why you must
do something not why you can't do something.
Stop justifying.
Number nine the jealous ego.
Have you ever said stuff like this:
Oh rich people are greedy, they are selfish.
Oh you know what, it's not that big of a deal anyway.
It's jealousy.
Don't criticize what you have not done,
or what you're not capable to do.
Don't judge sometimes I will see it on YouTube, right?
People judging this and judging that,
I don't really give a damn.
But they say oh but they...
How about you go do it?
You upload a video, you build a channel right?
You go impact millions peoples lives.
Until you've done it don't let
this jealous ego hold you back.
Number ten the fake ego.
Have you ever met someone that you don't know them but
the minute you meet with them they just have this
weird kind of vibe that you don't trust him or her?
Or they feel very fake, that you feel like
oh my god they are just so fake.
They're so superficial that you don't make that connection,
that they're not genuine.
Or have you ever met someone that just the minute
you meet with them you make that instant connection
and then there's that trust, there's that bond?
That you feel this person is sincere.
The fake ego maybe that's you.
Maybe that you're very good at putting on this mask.
You're very good that in one circumstance you can
be this person, and in other scenario you become
a different person.
And then here you become another person.
And before you know it you've done it for so many years,
you don't know who you are anymore.
You don't know which one is the real you.
Which one is the real you?
You've lost yourself, be yourself.
Everyone else is taken, be yourself.
I would rather people hate me for who I am
than love me for who I am not.
So don't, don't use the fake ego.
You don't need it to be successful.
Number 11 and that is the shy ego.
The shy ego says well um, I'm just shy.
I'm just an introvert, I'm not good with people.
And I'm just like, it's okay I don't like
to talk I'll just be like that.
But you use that as an excuse.
You use that to stay in your own bubble,
you use that to stay in your own shell.
Guess what, believe it or not
I was a very, very shy person.
I was an introvert.
I was the kid when I was going through high school
I had no friends, I didn't want to talk to people.
Cause I couldn't speak the language, I was so afraid.
Even now sometimes when I go to meet a lot of people,
I still have that little bit of awkwardness, it's normal.
But I don't let that hold me back.
I know that if I want to be more successful,
if I want to be rich I have to get
outside of my comfort zone.
I have to overcome my shyness.
That's how I can do what I do.
So don't use that your personality as an excuse
to hold you back.
Number 12 the other people's opinions ego.
Be honest, do you worry a lot what people think of you?
Do you worry how people perceive you?
You know you wanna do something but oh,
what will people think of that?
What will people think of my action,
even deep down you know that's the right thing to do.
But you don't do it because you have other
people's opinions ego.
You let other people's opinions stop you
from doing what you know is the right thing.
Those people they could be your family,
they could be your relatives, they could be your friends,
they could be your high school buddies.
It doesn't matter.
It can be social media, you're uploading a video
you're posting to social media, you're making noise,
you're getting attention suddenly you get a few haters.
Guess what? You stop.
People don't care about you.
Haters and trolls who add no value in your life
and some keyboard warrior, some losers
post a comment and you're like oh, I guess
that hurts my feeling, and you stop doing what is right.
You stop doing what is gonna make you successful.
Stop.
Stop worrying about other people's opinions.
It's just their opinions, it's...
Doesn't matter.
Critics, haters, haters gonna' hate.
It doesn't matter you do what you know is right.
Number 13 and that is the do it yourself ego.
Yes, the do it yourself ego says this:
if you want something done you gotta do it yourself.
Wow they will never do it as good as the way that I do it.
Oh I don't trust him, or I don't trust her.
If you want something done you gotta do it yourself.
What you're really saying is I don't trust other people.
That is ego, that's a form of ego that holds you back.
Because nothing great is accomplished just with one person.
It requires other people, it requires team work.
So the do it yourself ego, this is probably
one of the most common egos that hold most people back.
That hold most entrepreneurs back.
That's holding them back from going to that next level.
Because they are control freaks.
They are this massive, massive do it yourself ego
that's holding them back.
So comment below how many of these egos, and be honest,
how many of these egos do you have out of the 13?
The 13 egos that are preventing most people
from becoming rich.
Comment below now if you say I got none of them.
Not one that is probably the
biggest ego that I have ever seen.
If you say you've got none of them.
Cause I had a lot of these,
I still have some of these.
I still have to work through them myself.
