Sometimes we go after things in life that are never going to work out because we
never really understood the measure of the expectation and today we're talking
about wealth and is it easy to become wealthy? I'm going to tackle that and really
tell you my real feelings on that.
So is it easy to become wealthy? Yes no, no yes. It depends, right? Here's the
reality, we live in a world and especially for my young friend
Millennials that are out there, listen, I just missed the Millennial boat but come
on, you know it as well as I do, there's so many of us out there that have been
trained now that we want everything to be easy, we want it to be fast, we want
it to be one click, maybe at most three simple steps but they better be simple
and they better be fast. This is the mindset group that we've really fallen
into and what it means is that, sometimes we've got these really big dreams and
things are important to us but the moment it gets hard, the moment it's
going to challenge us the moment, it's going to push us, that's when we bail, that's when
we get out. The reality is becoming wealthy means you're going to be an
entrepreneur whether it's in real estate, whether it's to be some other type of
business person, you're going to be in business for yourself and this is what I
would share, the entrepreneur takes on an extraordinary risk of success or
failure and whatever it's going to be, the reality is that the entrepreneur has
an opportunity to learn things that non entrepreneurs never will. If you want to
be wealthy then I would say that you better know what you're signing up for
because it's a journey that's going to dive deep into your soul, you're going to try
things and have them not work out and then the question is, are you going to go
into the mindset of a failure? I failed, I tried, I couldn't do it
so I'm out or are you going to rise above that and figure out what didn't
work? I would say that the journey of becoming wealthy really means that you
have to be willing to face in the least hundreds of real life experiences where
you're going to doubt yourself, where you're going to challenge whether you're right and
maybe you're just wrong. It's going to be an opportunity to go into ego and trust me,
there's a lesson when you do that and there also could be the risk of
self-deprecation or going the other direction or beating yourself up or
maybe not having the sports of a loved one, a spouse, a friend or a family member,
questioning yourself, that is really what the journey of becoming wealthiest so so
often we get stuck on this idea. What's the system? I mean take my real estate
for example, hang with me for 10 years, follow my system and can you be a
multimillionaire? Yeah, that is 100% a possibility. For me to say that and for
you to actually get there, you're going to look back and in hindsight, you're going to
say, whoa what it really took to get there was I had to face my own
inadequacies, I had to face my self-doubt, my trust issues, I had to
face maybe bleeding too much in people and it's this journey of
self-improvement, that's the way I look at it, of really cultivating a character,
someone that becomes a millionaire, they had to learn a lot of things that they
didn't know before because none of us are born with just a map of how to make
a million, even if I give you the map, it's just theory to you even though it's
proven for me and you have to have your own experience of taking it upon you and
trialing it and so here's the deal, no matter what you want to do to become
wealthy, you've got to understand that there's a skillset portion and there's a
mindset portion and they both need to be addressed. The skillset portion is, what
skills do I need to learn to become wealthy? What things do I need to know
that I do not yet know? What are the things that I need to know that I don't
even know that I don't know? So it's an unknown, you actually have no
idea how far the tunnel goes, you have no idea whether the light at the end of the
tunnel is 100 miles away or whether it's within reach even just a mile and so
with skill set, you almost have to be willing to say, hey, if I want to be
wealthy, I'm committed to learn everything that I need to learn along
the way, the right things, the wrong things. You're going to mess up, man, you're
going to pick up the wrong stuff but are you willing to jump in and develop all
the skills required for you to become wealthy? The second question, are you
willing to do whatever it takes to develop the mindset of the wealthy?
Because when something crashes and burns, when something goes slower than you want,
when something doesn't go your way, how you react and how you show up, it's going to
reveal your limiting beliefs here in your mind. Most of us, it's too much for
us, too much failure, too much lack, too much not enough and we allow these
limiting beliefs to really beat us up and beat us into a pulp where there's no
chance of success. Becoming wealthy, it really is hard but when I say that it
doesn't have to be, it's because if you're committed to working through the
hard stuff, you can make anything hard effortless, not just easy, effortless.
There are things that I can do today that, you know, even just like shooting
this video, right? I mean, yeah, I'm just sitting here and I'm having a
conversation with you but 10 years ago when I shot my first video, like a really
nerve-wracking petrifying experience. I've grown, I've changed, I've gotten
better over the years, right? That's what happens when you commit to the journey
of being wealthy and so I want to share one last concept with you that I think
will be very helpful for you. In my relationship with my wife,
we strive to create this thing called unconditional love which means love
without conditions, which means instead of judging each other's wants and means,
what if we accepted them or even advocated for them? That's a game that
she and I play in our marriage which is, hey, if you want something, it may not be
what I want but it's important to you so I'm going to do everything in my power to
give that to you. So we've been learning a lot about developing an unconditional
relationship. I think you need a relationship like that if you want to
become wealthy which says, no matter what, I'm going to stick with this goal of
becoming wealthy and I'll learn whatever skill sets I need and I'll learn
whatever mindset I need and if you're willing to do that, it'll absolutely have
tough trialing moments, even moments that you might think could break you but if
you will persist unconditionally and stay, no matter what I'm going to stay with
it, the things that you learn about you, the things that it reveals about your
character, your flaws, your good points, it will be such a massive journey of
awesome personal development that whether you ever become wealthy or half
way wealthy or 1/10 wealthy or uber wealthy, I think you're going to look in the
mirror and really like who you've become because if you've engaged and one of the
real purposes I believe of why we're on this planet which is to learn, which is
to grow, which is to develop and which is ultimately to step into our potential, so
if you want to become wealthy, you're really taking on the journey of
self-improvement and really uncovering and discovering who you are. Now that
might sound hard and undoubtedly in the beginning it likely will be but with
each lesson you learn, the further you get down the track, I believe it gets
easier and it becomes more enjoyable to learn who you are, know thyself like
Socrates said and in that journey, creating value for people, helping people,
learning all of those lessons has the ability to create that amazing
fulfillment. To answer the question is it easy to become wealthy? I would say it's
hard but not for the entire journey and it's worth it.
So did I scare you away or are you still feeling up to the challenge to go after
wealth knowing that it will have some learning moments, that it will have some
challenges and hard moments? If it does, then me and my team, we make creating
wealth I think as easy as it possibly can be
