the only video you need to get rich…

so listen there is a reason why they say that making your first million is the hardest and after that every other million becomes that much easier and I can tell you this from firsthand experience I made my first million dollars at the age of 18 and have multiplied it every single year since then and that's actually what I was thinking about last night and that's what inspired me to make this video I started thinking how is it that every year making money and making millions becomes easier and what was it that makes those first few

years because yeah I made my first million at 18 but that was after 4 years of Entrepreneurship so that is really the premise of today's video I want to talk about the things that maybe aren't too fun but will guarantee that you make your first million so real quick I want to just discuss what makes that first million so difficult just so you understand what stage of the journey you're at and so that way you also relax and you enjoy the process and you enjoy the journey you understand that this is a part of your

process and it won't always be this hard and the main reason the main thing you need to get over is inertia inertia is the tendency for objects are stationary to stay stationary let me put it very simply if you were to go on a let's say 3-hour flight tomorrow it would take your pilot about 5 minutes to take off and get you to cruising altitude now with many hours to go the pilot might check his gauges and there he's going to notice that he's actually burned through 25% of his fuel in just the first few

minutes of the journey but your pilot wouldn't panic because this is inertia in action getting something like a plane moving requires an enormous amount of energy but once it's up in the air it's actually remarkably efficient it's just sipping fuel to stay cruising and that's why millionaires find it so easy to keep earning money they live at this altitude they have the resources in the capital to print more but I say this in the nicest way possible you still on the ground getting you up in the sky is going to require a lot of fuel

so that's why in today's video I'm going to show you how to overcome your inertia and get you to the cruising altitude of millionaires now the first thing I need you to do is I want you to stop looking at the musks and the Bezos of this world I want you to look at the athletes the mess's the Hamiltons the Federer now you might look at interviews with these guys Marvel at their achievements and think that nothing would be better than sitting with them at a bar picking their brain let me tell you something because

I'm friends with a lot of these athletes there is no one I would rather speak to less than them especially in the middle of the season because they are so monastically focused on their goals battling fatiguing diets and suffering through intense training regimes that they are literally the least interesting people in the world they don't have the time or energy to dedicate to a conversation and they haven't consumed a piece of popular media in months you're not going to learn what they think of a film or a celebrity gossip they are in their bed at

9:00 p.m. every night and treating their bodies like a temple in other words these people aren't well-rounded they don't do moderation and guess what to make your first million that's what's required of you you need to remove the idea that you're going to be this perfectly well-rounded Gentleman Just dancing and sauntering through life life if you are serious about making real money you need to accept that everything you do needs to be singerly focused when you're first starting out and before this starts to sound too much like inspiration porn I need you to understand that

this isn't the ideal human State humans need social interactions humans need Hobbies they need every element of the hierarchy of needs fulfilled but what you'll need to do to overcome inertia is so painful so repulsive to The Human Condition that most people never do it you need to accept that for the next 6 to 12 months you're going to be less well-rounded you're going to lose friends you're not going to learn that language that you've always wanted to or you're not going to hit your personal bests in the gym once you think of your life

like that flight it's easier to understand you need to sacrifice a hell of a lot of fuel now to cruise at that millionaire altitude later and I can tell you this is something I personally experienced 2017 and even 2018 when I made my first million all the way even to I'd say 2019 those 3 years between 2017 18 and 19 I had no Hobbies I didn't see my friends I didn't do anything and the funny thing is as my career progressed I reintroduced those hobbies and I ended up making substantially more money but for that

beginning stage I had to just focus that new hobby I wanted to learn no oh coffee catch ups with friends no watching some new Netflix TV show no when you are first starting out you just have to be in a season and a period of your life where you say no to absolutely everything and anything that doesn't have a clear correlation to your goals now this video is all about the principles you need to apply to make money but I also appreciate that there's a lot of you watching this right now wondering okay how do

I actually make money and that is why I launched digital Launchpad it is the only educational platform in the world created specifically for this reason inside of it you have a selection of 10 programs at the moment countless ways to make money taught by the best of the best experts in the world and not only that for the rest of the year we have one new program launching every single month and you can get access to all of it for only $37 a month or for less than 73 cents a day if you get the

annual plan so go ahead and check the first link in the description I guarantee it's the best decision you make this year now going back to my last point about distractions if you look at one of the most famous figures in British history the twice prime minister the Duke of Wellington maybe for those that didn't grow up in the UK like I did this means absolutely nothing but for anyone who's in the UK you'll know that he is celebrated all over London with statues and pubs named in his honor and his greatest victory was the

defeat of Napoleon in the Battle of waterl in 1815 what most people don't know unless you've read extensive books on him growing up like I did is that he was actually a great musician in fact as a child that's pretty much all he did that's all he succeeded at he was regarded by his teachers his parents and anyone he worked with as a failure then after being rejected for a marriage proposal and being told that he would amount to nothing he did something that changed his life he picked up his violin he walked to his

fireplace he threw it in there and he watched it burn now if you you don't already know I'll just let you go ahead and research his impact to understand his importance in history but safe to say the reason I'm here and speaking to you in English is because he put away his childish distractions he realized that his violin as much as he loved it and it was great and it was a fun little hobby was that and that only a hobby it was not the domain in his life that he was going to go out

and Conquer and achieve all his goals no it was just a hobby and to have that sort of insight is so special you know there's so many things in my life where they're hobbies and I leave them as Hobbies because I understand this is not my lane and this quite frankly is a distraction and I'm allowed to have hobbies just as long as my hobbies do not distract me from the main thing so as you hear all of this to me it's still slightly baffling that you still have Tik Tok or Instagram on your phone

unless you are using it to monetize somehow now listen we live in an attention economy and there are thousands of people in businesses desperately trying to get yours you've got meta and Tik Tok who employ the same people who make gambling machines to program addictive qu qualities into their apps getting your attention back requires an incredible dedication to removing the distractions from your life I remember when I was 14 I was flipping Instagram accounts I bought a PlayStation I was playing FIFA Ultimate Team and in fact I was actually even making money from FIFA Ultimate

Team by trading players and then selling the coins on but even still I realized that this is holding me back for my greater Ambitions because I knew that it was a distraction I knew that I would always rather be doing that than doing anything else remotely constructive now you might be looking around your room and wondering if you could do the same thing I'm not telling you to smash your PlayStation right now instead let's start small go into your phone and just delete any app that looks like it could take a second of your attention

without giving you something in return so that's right Instagram got to go delete Twitter delete Tik Tok now if you are making money from these things very different story that's a topic for another dat and that's something that I'll be putting out a lot more content about in the future but if you're on Twitter just because you like seeing random on there how was that serving you in life you always want an equal exchange so ask yourself if you had a friend that all they did was take take take take take and give you nothing

in return would you still want to be friends with them okay cool well then why are you on Twitter why are you on Tik Tok unless you're getting something back in return why are you on these platforms and by the way I'm on these platforms you might even be following me on these platforms so it's not in my best interest to tell you to delete them but just delete them and I hate to be the one to say this but these distractions aren't limited to technology if you're watching this more than likely your friend are

trying to invite you on Fridays to have little gaming parties or maybe go get shitfaced at the local bar now I'm not saying that you need to cut these people out forever or remove them from your life because for me honestly it's very good for the soul sometimes to just go and be stupid with your friends and have fun and just act your age especially for boys it's just good to be with your guys sometimes and there's nothing wrong with that but you need to understand for the next 6 12 18 months they are not

going to be on the same wavelength as you so you need to decide whether 7 hours of social izing and a hangover every week are really worth it to you right now so as you're trying to get this plane off the ground do you really want to do it in stormy conditions do you really want to do it with the winds working against you now is not the time for distractions now is the time for work unsurprisingly this level of work and commitment is not sustainable it's going to make you sick and it's going to

make you a pretty miserable person to speak to so that's why you need to set realistic goals and a time limit to this dedication and one of the most common mistakes I see people making when they start out is making wildly outlandish predictions and goals you know I'm willing to bet that if you scroll to the comments of this video you'll see someone saying that they're going to comment again in a year's time when they're on a yacht with me smoking a cigar and to that gentleman take this in the nicest way possible you're probably

not now in 3 years 5 years maybe 10 years that could be a totally different story and by the way constantly in my life I have these crazy situations where people that I was watching 10 years ago on YouTube or watching their content think oh it'd be so cool to meet this person or hang out with this person we now meet as peers so this stuff takes time you just need to understand that in the short term in the next year you probably won't become a millionaire and that's totally fine now maybe your business doesn't

million in Revenue but that doesn't mean that you're a millionaire to me what being a millionaire is is actually having profited a million as in taking home personally a million that's step number one or even better having a million in cash to me that's what makes you a millionaire so is it realistic that that's going to happen in one year probably not obviously unless you have a pre-existing business you have some pre-existing background and you're just scaling up what you're already doing but as a beginner no it's not realistic and that's fine but that's one

year what you can accomplish in 5 8 10 15 years is beyond your wildest imaginations so to the people who have these wild aspirations with no timeline and realistic goals they're forgetting the whole point of this video that getting started is the hardest part of the journey take this as someone who's made hundreds then thousands then Millions then tens of millions your first 10,000 is always the hardest but once you do you'll have overcome the inertia that binds stationary objects next you need to set a realistic time limit to achieve these goals in I'm not

saying this to be kind or to say that you need to work hard for 3 months and then give yourself a week break I'm saying this because it is a biological fact that no human can sustain this level of focus and determination for a prolonged period of time I said it earlier humans need friends we need distractions so when someone tells me that they've been head down working furiously for 2 years with no breaks I know that they're lying now how do we tie this all together well you've probably heard me talk about monk mode

before this is a protocol that I developed in my own life almost 5 years ago at this point listen I'm in a good position with my life and my business where I don't require enormous amounts of effort to keep things moving but a couple times a year I go into monk mode I enter into a state of massive dedication and focus removing distractions from my life and becoming hyper productive and whilst this almost always results in massive advances in my business I'll be honest I do this because I also like taking time off I like

socializing ING with my friends and being silly which is why for me I go into these periods of intense monk mode and then from there I have no guilt or I have no issues or I have no worries or concerns about being social meeting friends enjoying my life now you you need to enter monk mode for a different reason and listen while I could talk about this for hours the truth is if you're looking to enter into a monk mode just go ahead on my YouTube and watch all the videos I've made on it in

this video I just want to explain how it relates to the first step of your entrepreneurial Journey you see earlier I spoke about how you need to remove distractions in your life and reduce your social commitments so you might think therefore that this is all about subtraction the truth is a little different monk mode only works when you apply it holistically to all areas of your life you need to apply the same diligence and commitment to your sleep your diet and your body as you do your work for most people that means eating less sleeping

more and sticking to a simple gym regime this isn't so you can get a sixpack at the same time as earning your first $10,000 it's to support your mind on the Journey Only by fueling it properly and giving it the things you need will you stand a chance at success so ladies and gentlemen today's video is really to remind you and assure you that at the beginning it's hard I'm not going to sit here and lie that it's not but that's fine that's part of the journey and I know that it sucks for a bit

and I know it's not going to be easy for a bit but I promise you listen to me I promise you this that if you just get the plane off the ground if you just get into that cruising altitude I'm not saying that your life becomes incredible and you never have any worries or any fears but it just takes so much less effort to sustain it and keep the plane going than it does to get it off the ground so that's why if you apply the principles that I mentioned in today's video not only are

you going to be able to get the plane off the ground but you're going to do it in a way where you don't absolutely torment and torture yourself every day because your expectations have been set clearly so on that note I hope you enjoyed today's video and as always I'm watching from afar and I'm rooting for you
