for example i will never be on elon musk
level the amount of money that you
currently make is a direct correlation
of the skill set that you have and the
amount of effort that you put into your
life so in this video i'm going to teach
you how to actually unleash your true
potential
welcome back to the channel everybody my
name's artie and this is the moving
average a show where we discuss
everything day trading to keep you
profitable this video is only going to
be about 10 day trading and the rest is
going to be your mindset and your skill
set i covered all of this information in
a live stream that i did on monday for a
private group but it was such good
information that i want to share with
you guys if you're not willing to sit
through this entire video and you want
the most important piece of advice first
this is it stop chasing fast money that
is when you make the mistakes if you are
not willing to put in the time and
effort that it takes to become
successful
don't even waste your time if you want
to become better than somebody else you
need to emulate what they do and exceed
that and understand that they are
already 5 10 15 years ahead of you for
example i will never be on elon musk
level the guy has been training his
brain since he was six years old if you
are a basketball player you will never
be better than kobe because kobe will
outwork and out train you and has more
time on the court than you will ever
have in your life if over time you're
willing to commit the hours and effort
that it's going to take take the person
that you see as your ideal mentor and do
exactly what they do spend the exact
number of hours that they spend every
single day honing in their skills and
becoming the absolute best person they
can be in that specific field so now
that all of those short attention span
people have gone let's get into the real
nitty-gritty of this in order to be
successful you must set goals
and a lot of people have the
misinterpretation of what a goal is a
goal is not the finish line the only
finish line that you have in life is
actually death that is the only time
that the work is done and over with so
once you get that misconception out of
your head you are good to go now how i
want you to break down your goals into
actual manageable tasks that you can do
over time to reach that specific goal
let me direct your attention to this
chart the main goal is always going to
be something absurd and monstrous and
scary to think about almost to the point
where it feels like it's impossible to
accomplish those are the best goals
because even if you get close to it you
are way ahead of where you were before
now once you have that goal in mind i
want you to think about specific steps
that you need to take in order to
accomplish that goal think of it as a
recipe in order to make the cake you
need to have these six specific
ingredients these six ingredients are
the steps once you have all of those
steps listed under each one of them i
want you to list a
massive amount of tasks all of the tasks
that you need to do in order to complete
that step there should be anywhere
between 20 and 100 micro tasks that you
need to do in order to accomplish this
huge step so if we break down the cake
example one of the steps or ingredients
that you need to make that cake is
having flour now imagine you don't have
a grocery store you need to find wheat
seeds plant those seeds water those
seeds take care of the land spray for
pesticides wait a specified amount of
time for that wheat to grow then harvest
the wheat then process that wheat then
grind that wheat down into flour and you
now have one step done
in order to achieve your goal the cake
once you have determined your goal and
all of the steps in order to accomplish
that goal and all of the tasks that you
need to do in order to complete those
steps i want you to get rid of the steps
and get rid of the goal just completely
erase it off your board and take every
single one of those micro tasks that you
need to do and put them in an excel
spreadsheet now comes the fun part which
is also the addictive part and i'm going
to tell you exactly why it's addictive
if you have a to-do list with check
boxes next to them and you check one of
those boxes your body gets a dopamine
response dopamine is the addictive
chemical in your brain that when you
have it from whether you're eating sugar
doing drugs or any other pleasurable
item you will get the same dopamine fix
when you check a box on a task that
you've been working on this over time
will tell your body that you are getting
dopamine from doing these tasks and you
absolutely get 100 addicted to it now i
want you to get it out of your head that
this is my five-year goal this is my
one-year goal this is my 10-year goal
never put a timeline on your goals
because you will always inherently do
those tasks within that time frame that
you specified your mission from now on
should be complete all of those tasks as
quickly as humanly possible and you will
be shocked how quickly you can actually
reach your goals if you stop putting
constraints on your goals that diagram
and that system implemented in your life
i promise you in five years if you look
back to this video and actually
implemented those things in your life
you will be on a whole nother dimension
in your life what i'd like to do now is
explain to you why you should change
your goals i get a lot of people that
message me and tell me what their goals
are in life and they're always for
somebody else they want to buy their
grandma a house they want to buy their
dad a car they want to have enough money
to let their parents retire i admire
people that want to do this but i also
want to enlighten them on why they want
to do this i had the same issues in my
life when i was younger i wanted to buy
my dad a maserati because of all of the
things that they have done for me in my
life and helped me out my dad loved how
maseratis sounded so i figured if i
bought him one it would prove to him
that i am successful and he would be
proud of me so that was my seeking of
his approval which made my goal less
valuable to myself if your goals are to
make other people happy you will
inherently not be happy so what i want
you to do is change all of your goals
that you have preconceived in your mind
and i want you to change those goals to
be absolutely 100 selfish if your goal
is 100 financial independence or 100
financial freedom where you can walk
around the earth spending money
willy-nilly not caring about the price
of groceries not caring about the price
of gas not caring about the price of
anything you can just go out and buy it
because you know you have enough money
even though you don't know how much is
actually in your bank account you just
know that it is enough the reason it is
so important to make that paradigm shift
in your mind is because when you focus
on yourself and you make yourself happy
then and only then can you start to make
other people happy or other people proud
of you from your success now i want to
touch on the definition of success it is
the accomplishment of an aim or a
purpose so whatever you're aiming to do
or whatever your purpose is in life
if you are doing those things actively
doing those things not reaching the
quote-unquote finish line you are
successful right now i'm making a ton of
money through seven to eight different
sources of income i have not bought my
grandma house i have not retired my
parents and i have not bought my dad a
maserati even though all of those things
were my goals in order for my parents to
be proud of me regardless they have
never gotten those things from me and
yet now
all the time my parents tell me how
proud of me they are when you have
selfish goals and you succeed in the
accomplishment of your aim or purpose
everyone around you sees that you carry
yourself differently you have confidence
you walk through life like you own the
ground that you're standing on your
chest is up your head is up you have
that pride in yourself people see that
and that is when the recognition and
success is seen by other people it may
have taken you 10 to 20 years to do that
but you stayed motivated because your
goals were selfish so say that your goal
is absolute 100 financial freedom the
most important thing that you need to do
is never over leverage yourself when i
lived in las vegas i had a friend who
was making 70 000 a year and was a high
level executive at one of the casinos
because of his choice of lifestyle and
the huge house that he wanted on the
golf course and the very expensive car
that he leased as well as his clothing
choices and how he wanted other people
to see him when he budgeted out all of
his income and expenses he was left with
20
extra per week so even though he's
making a ton of money he's actually poor
but he looks rich whatever your income
is i want you to live on 25 of it and
save the rest the only exemption to this
is people that live on a poverty level
because there's no way that you can live
on 25 of poverty the people in that
category i will show you in a minute how
to make more money wealth is a simple
formula to your income over your
expenses if you are spending way less
money than you actually earn i can
promise you the relief of stress and the
weight on your shoulders will completely
be gone and you will walk through life
with less stress and more confidence so
for the people in the poverty category
after my divorce i literally had like
pennies in my bank account with a
paycheck coming in the next week i
didn't eat for four days if you are not
making enough money at your current job
you need to start looking for another
job while you hold that job and taking
job interviews to get the higher paying
job for me and the fact that i despise
working for other people the easiest way
for me to make money was driving uber or
lyft getting in your car and sitting in
that thing for 15 hours a day driving
people around is enough for you to make
a good amount of income the better you
get at that and knowing where people
need rides i mean i was able to make two
thousand dollars a week doing ride share
and i actually made a youtube video
about it which got really really popular
it'll be linked in the description of
this video so that you guys can try to
make some supplementary income i'll also
add some other ideas in the description
down below for ways for you to make
extra money one of the most important
mental shifts that you can make in your
life is instead of saving money you
learn how to earn more money if you get
out of the mentality of oh i want this
thing so i need to save 500 bucks a
month in order to get this thing in
three years the example i gave in my
live stream was a car that cost thirty
thousand dollars if you save five
hundred dollars every single month it
will take you five years in order to be
able to afford that car whereas if you
change your mindset on how can i earn an
extra thirty thousand dollars by side
hustling creating a youtube channel
driving lyft whatever you can spend one
solid year focusing on how to do that
and implementing that and working on
that and i can promise you you can make
30 grand in a year easily take for
example this youtube channel i started
it march of last year it's been one year
in three months and i've made over two
hundred thousand dollars on this youtube
channel stop saving right now and start
learning how to make more money now i
want to give you specific examples of
the skill sets that i've acquired over
my life and how they compound to help me
be the person that i am today as most of
you know my parents owned hotels
basically my entire childhood so i was
in the customer service industry and
this was a skill that i was able to
attain over that time was being able to
talk to people being able to read people
and give people what they actually
wanted you gain a lot of insight in the
human mentality from being in customer
service the next skill that i have was
one that i attained in college and it
was by taking the toastmaster course
this is an entire seminar that's super
cheap and teaches you how to speak in
public how to form complete sentences
and thoughts that can be portrayed in a
manner that's engaging to your audience
the next skill set that i got was
actually being able to record and shoot
videos knowing camera settings watching
all the tutorials on youtube and
eventually creating my own youtube
channel and making travel edits and
vlogs through this process i had to
learn everything i needed to know about
cameras then i needed to learn
everything i could about editing videos
then once you have those two and you
work on them together you will
eventually learn how to format your
videos in order for them to be engaging
for your audience having a nice hook a
great explanation and a banger
conclusion driving your message home all
those skills put together are useless if
nobody is watching your videos which is
why the next step in the process was me
learning seo which is search engine
optimization learning how to rank my
videos on youtube so they get in front
of the most eyeballs humanly possible
was crucial in order for people to see
my content now the next thing that i
needed to learn was marketing and market
research being able to market research
and figure out what is a hot topic what
is popular and what information people
actually want to see right now was one
of the most important skills that i
could possibly learn through that
process i learned how to market how to
captivate an audience and how to grow an
audience and how to bring value to that
audience now after i compounded all of
those skills together i still had not
accomplished my goal but it did get my
foot in the door to some great jobs and
some great opportunities those specific
opportunities and jobs is where i
learned everything about day trading and
cryptocurrencies that skill set was the
most time consuming and took me nearly
two years to figure out once i got good
at day trading and started supplementing
my income with it to the point where it
surpassed my salary from my job i was
able to quit and focus full-time on that
then once i built up enough capital to
where i didn't have to trade so much i
was able to put all of my skills
together and open up the moving average
youtube channel so all of my skill set
acquisition happened over the course of
my life since i was about 10 years old
and i didn't hit the financial
independence that i was looking for
until i was 34 years old so like i said
before if you are not willing to put in
the time then don't even try and the
final thing that i want to cover in this
video is think about what you actually
want do you want that luxury house or
that huge apartment do you want the
fancy sports car the lamborghinis the
ferraris the bentleys do you want a
vacation three to four times a year do
you want to fly first class or on
private jets if you actually think about
all of those things that you want and
list them down and figure out how much
it costs to fly first class how much it
costs to lease a lamborghini how much
rent costs for that banger apartment or
that luxury home if you think about all
of those things as monthly costs and you
actually break it down you could have
that baller lifestyle that you desire
for about 10 to 12 grand a month that's
120 to about 140 000 annually i make way
more than that on youtube you do however
have a funny shift once you start
getting money all of those
silly i wanna lambo or the most
expensive loft in new york all of those
things kind of go away you no longer
have the desire to impress people
because you're doing all of the work for
yourself you're improving yourself and
you're improving your skill set and
you're gaining that financial
independence and you have less stress
all of those things completely get rid
of the need for other people's approval
you become self-sufficient and you
become proud of yourself which is the
most important thing if you guys know
somebody that needs to hear all the
information in this video please share
the video with them drop a like if you
got some value out of this video and i
want to thank the 14 of you that stayed
to the end of this video and actually
retain the information and for the five
people that are gonna watch this thing
over and over and over again so yeah
thanks so much for watching and we'll
see you in the next video
