Man, the 20s is like one of the most important periods of time in your life
to get yourself financially set on a strong heading, a strong course. But a lot
of us don't really know what it means to be really responsible in our 20s. Most
people are figuring out in their 30s, sometimes their 40s, sometimes later. But
there are some things that I believe you should be doing in your 20s. And in
today's video, I'm going to break it all down for you a couple of them I think
are going to shock you. And if you do them you can set yourself up for a super
bright future.
I'm telling you right now that if you've clicked on this video and you're
watching it, it tells me so much about you that I really need to know which is
that you're serious about doing something extraordinary or different
than you see a lot of other people doing. I'm going to tell you right now that
your twenties can be a period of time in your life where you financially figure
out the game and actually allow yourself for the rest of your life to have the
options and opportunities that you're probably searching for. For my own
personal experience, I actually developed financial freedom when I was 26 years
old. At the time that meant I had a cute
$12,000 month residual income, I could quit my job and all of a sudden I got on
my time back. And I have to tell you, it is so cool to have that time freedom
because time freedom and money means I've been able to travel the world I've
been able to visit now over 40 countries to date. Been able to drive pretty much
any car I've ever wanted to. Been able to live in gorgeous beautiful homes. You
know, bottom line is my kids need something, I can buy it for them. And I'm
in a dreamer mindset now where if I dream it and think it, I can achieve it.
So, how I got there was being super serious in my twenties. I said, "You know, I
don't want to be serious in my 50s and 60s when it feels kind of too late and
I'm panicking." Let's just get it out of the way now. So, being financially
responsible; today, I want to share with you three things that you can do to
increase your financial responsibility. These are things that I believe are
gonna help you do the right things in your 20s so that in your 30s and 40s, you
can have everything that you want. First of all we know what society's teaching
us to do for the most part. And we know what your peers, your friends. We know
what they're doing. It's like, today people feel like they have more time
than ever before to just figure it out. When instead you can actually figure it
out a lot sooner and pick up some huge benefit. So, what I'm going to do is I'm
going to actually break these down for you and kind of show you exactly what these
look like. I'm going to put them up here on the screen for you. The first thing that
I want you to know is that you have to decide what you want. Now, this is one of
the hardest things for most people because they're just not sure. And
sometimes we're waiting for it to just happen to us. But I'm telling you don't
do that. You know, I fell in love with the game of real estate not so much because
I love real estate but because real estate didn't care
whether I was young, real estate didn't care whether while I was old. Real estate
didn't care whether I was talented. It didn't care what degree I had. Like there
were no rules. So I got this as a maverick, step in the game and say, "I'm a
real estate investor." And I was young, 22, didn't even know what I was doing. But
I've muddled through my first 25 properties to create that income and it
changed everything for me. By the way, in the description below, there's a free
book or its popping up for you. I love giving that physical book away to
everyone and anyone for free. When it comes in the mail to you, it's going to
look like this. It's called The Straight Path To Real Estate Wealth. I ask that
you just cover the shipping and I'll send the book out to you. And it's a gift.
This book has traded millionaires. And you might be the very next one. You've
got to decide what you wanted. Now, I'll tell you that for me, I decided that what
I wanted was to make $10,000 a month. I basically said... My wife and I decided "If
I had 10 grand a month, I don't have to work for somebody else." And that's the
first thing that I wanted. I didn't want a house. I didn't want a Lamborghini. I
wanted freedom. I just wanted to be able to do what I wanted to do with my life.
That freedom just spoke so much to me. So, what is it you want? And I want you to
actually decide and put a dollar amount next to it. Now, if you're waiting to say,
"Well, I want to make money with my passion doing what I love." I'm like, "Shoot!
You never know when that's going to manifest." So in the meantime, pick
something stupid like real estate that doesn't care or maybe you already know
what it is and that's fine. Once you've decided, the second thing I want you to
do is I want you to pursue it with what's called daily max motivation. So,
this is your why and then this is your why leading into action. I almost lost my
life when I was 19 years old. I almost drowned in the ocean. And when I came out
of that water, I decided that I was never going to take a day of my life for granted
again. And since then, I haven't. And I think one of the reasons why I've
achieved and accomplished so much. And now I have a lot of this free time, world
traveling, all these great things is because I poured a daily maximum
motivation into what hours. In other words, when I set a goal, I didn't like
forget about it and then next week or a month later or 2 months, they're like,
"Ah! What am I going to work on that thing?" No, no, no. You've got to obsess
over the thing that you want and say, "How do I make one step of progress today?"
Your goal may seem so big and so far out there. But what's one thing? So, for
example, in the game of real estate what I teach and share in this book is for me
to make that money, in the beginning, I didn't have any money. So, you know my
first step was? I knew that I needed to save up a couple thousand dollars in the
bank. So, I changed my spending habits. And guess what? Every day that I made good
financial choices was me acting on what would become millions and millions of
dollars. I remember that I got some education.
Like reading this book or getting a mentor or getting a real estate help
line. Did something that would actually start teaching me. And that was really a
big game-changer for me. By the way, if you haven't watched that video that I
did with millions of views showing my 4 steps at how I became financially
free, that's coming here at the end of the video. It'll be up here in the corner.

So. You pursue what you want with it and you know what it is and then pursuit
with the daily max and motivation which just says "Obsession". Now, I think
obsession as a word has a negative connotation. I don't care. That is the
right word for exactly what I mean which is I want you to possess your mind on
this and think about it non-stop. And then just say, "What is one thing I can do
today that will further my ambition?" And do it. And once you've done that, then the
third thing that I do which I think is really key that I don't know if you're
going to hear it many other places is you have got to demand something. Do you know
what I demand? I demand results. A lot of people will like, "Oh! I know what my
goal is. I'm working on it. But I'm not getting what I want from it. They're
mistaking movement for achievement." Those are not the same things never mistake
movement for achievement. Don't be busy just to be busy. I would rather get all
of my busy time back and do whatever the heck I want. Go be selfish with your time.
Like, life is way too short to like screw around on something that isn't actually
not producing what you actually want. So, don't do that.
Decide what you want, daily max motivation behind it. And then when you
do it, you demand that you get something from it. So, if I'm budgeting to save up
my 5 grand at the end of the week, at the end of the month; how much money did I
save? "Hey! I did this thing, I did that thing and I saved
$700 this month." I did something, I took action. I'm demanding a
result. Demand results in everything that you do. It is amazing to me how many
people permit themselves to just do things to be busy. Never get what they
want but waste the one commodity that we can't get back. Time, you can always make
more money. You can't make more time. Other than choosing be really healthy.
So, you know for me, this is something I've been living and I'm still living it
today. Listen, real estate has allowed me to go nuts on this. That's what I love.
