that we're we're not like I'm not going public here I'm not trying to raise a billion dollars I'm just trying to get my damn job done it's an Instagram post man well let me check it oh let me do a filter oh let me change it let me change the right the number one reason businesses fail is the inability the inability to sell products in quantities great enough and at margins high enough that is the only reason you will fail you take too long to go from the idea to selling enough products volume and margins high enough do that learn to do that and you can make any dream reality okay I want to help the world this is not taught in schools there's 8 billion people on this planet and there's no shortage of information how many heard this before knowledge is power then why are so many people suffering why are so many people suffering nowadays too for that we have more information available us today than at any time in the history of the world we got too much information at this point you got too much information and not enough action rule number eight CC's your opportunities 25 years old I'm selling automobiles I'm broke I'm in debt $40,000 in debt spiritually bankrupt physically bankrupt hate myself only thing I had was an opportunity car dealer that I work for took me back that was an opportunity don't dismiss the opportunity you can't go anyplace without an opportunity no matter how talented you are no matter how gifted you are no matter what God has done for you without an opportunity you will not move from your garage your life cannot improve without an opportunity it's impossible you guys don't like sales cuz you ain't got any courage that's why you want to be a you want to be the vice president of something that's why you guys want to call it something else okay most of you in a room don't even have sales on your card you sell real estate for Remax okay or keller and you don't even have sales on the card you're in network marketing you refused we don't do sales here what do you do then okay what do you do I mean I think the company's got a financial statement you ever read a financial statement what's the first line on a financial statement huh what's that first line it's the first line by the way okay I've seen a bunch of income statements in my life the first the first ones are like two two maybe max four inches long big companies big giant companies okay I got five companies they run to one financial statement in the top line the top line the sales line you could call it I think it's called also what revenue could be called gross revenue okay you know people are getting confused now okay they start getting away from this word some some college guy came in and said we can't call the sales man we got to call something like at least two or three words I mean I went to Harvard it's not about how much money you make folks can you use money can you use it okay look just up these top lines right here are about income if you hate sales you hate income rule number ten don't think small okay who you are I don't care what your age is okay I spent the first from the age of twenty five years old to forty five years so I spent 20 years thinking small thinking small and taken too long I built three little businesses they were all doing good man they were doing good three of them man from scratch first little business I was a millionaire when I was thirty 33 years old punching shoving hard work man the more money I had the more scared I was because I had just enough money to be scared soon as you get a million dollars you're gonna go into terror I'm telling you gonna be like what am I gonna do now okay I wasn't scared before now I got something to lose that's why you never want to get your advice from a millionaire if you're taking notes never get your advice from a millionaire ever okay this held me down for 20 years 20 years it held me down you're looking at me like huh I read The Millionaire Next Door what did The Millionaire Next Door say buy a used truck and don't go to Starbucks you say four bucks a day for the next 38 years you will be in heaven no you're gonna be stupid it's dumb man okay if four dollars is gonna break you on any given day you're just back to thinking the way you were thinking when you didn't have anything buy everything on sale okay everything you're gonna buy is gonna be on sale you got to get a deal every time you buy something is that what your daddy taught you never pay retail for anything that means nobody will ever pay you retail folks rule number 11 get attention when I started Twitter account I had no followers when I started Facebook count no followers I was my first follower when I started Instagram account no followers I didn't know how to post video I didn't know how to take a selfie I didn't know how to do any of this but I did have a commitment to grow in my finances and if you want to grow your finances attention is the Gateway you want to go to heaven who wants to go to heaven you got to die just telling you man you got to die to go to the heaven and most people don't want to die they want to go to heaven but they don't want that most people want money but they're not willing to get the attention they're not willing to do what it takes to get the attention including spending money and I would just tell you this if you want to change your financial condition the first thing you need to do is go out and market in the marketplace so that you can create a lead and not worry about whether there's ROI or not it's so stupid that people like what's the ROI do what's the ROI if nobody knows you okay what's the ROI if I don't know your name don't know your company don't know what you do don't know your service don't know your product don't know where you're located what is the ROI okay best product does not win today the best known product wins you think starbucks sells the best coffee please nasty [Music] okay but it's closed and I know what I'm getting when I get there McDonald said let's sell the best Hamburg closing available rule number 12 sink bigger so that brings me to the second point you need to think of way bigger than you're thinking I started in the apartment game 25 years ago in San Diego California my first deal first deal I ever bought was one unit this little yellow house that I paid seventy eight thousand dollars for by the way all this landscaping that's one of the things I'm known for them like I'm putting trees up there cuz that's gonna give me some extra rent it didn't by the way my next kill was 38 units ok it was easier by 38 units than it was one the only difference was to think I had to think different I got to make a few more phone calls but the play is bigger right the recent people the reason so many real estate people are like marginal people no offense raise your hand if your marginal they loved it raise your hand if you liar look man look I'm more chill too compared to my potential the fact that there's people in this room - don't know me I've written seven books thirteen best-selling business programs I have I'm probably the top one or two maybe three social media people in the world seven million people on Facebook but 7 million people on Facebook is nothing compared to 7 billion people in the world so think big man rule number 13 and solve problems problems are opportunities the bigger the problems if you could look for the giant problems on this planet and quit complaining about them right and quit blaming somebody about it and say man what if I took responsibility for that problem because there is money in solving problems you solve a problem you'll end up with money and the bigger the problem you solve the bigger the problem you solve the more money you end up with rule number 14 and study success that are hooking up with whoever they want when they want that are spending millions and millions and millions of dollars of connections and speed and access what are they doing in they're doing something different than you and I will talk to do school systems don't teach you this your mama didn't daddy didn't teach it your family doesn't know this right so you got to go outside your circle of influence on the tarmac all the way up the future you can do the same thing hard enough the right people not those guys those are the pilots again see they work for 150 grand a year figured they're they're cut the big fat hog in the ass well I make 175 Destin but they stopped Barney what the owner knows they study their study paid the price for the information and then pay for the price of access to the people and learn from drill there are 16 worried about the money if I could go back to my 20 year old self what I would tell my 20 year old self is one thing get your money right son worry about the money and now I know a lot of people think that this is not the thing people should be focused on however on this planet if you don't get your money right you're gonna be worried all the debt all the time you can't take care of your parents you can't take care of yourself you can't take care of your rent you can't live in a nice place you can't take care of your car get your money right okay what should you be spending your money on why do wealthy people use money not spend money why do wealthy people buy businesses they don't buy homes why to wealthy people use debt to grow their business they don't use debt to consume products and services why do wealthy people not invest in 401 K since EPS and retirement accounts they don't even worry about that they worry about getting their money so freaking right but they can go wherever they want day or night rule number 16 change your target is saying hey man if you got a million dollars you're basically just a freakin deadbeat and that your daddy didn't tell you that if you didn't have any more income then you were held or you you're 27 years old I'm gonna do this at 47 imma do it at at 65 27 you don't have any more income how long would that money laughs and $4,000 a month you got 25 years where can you live on $4,000 a month you'd have to live on $4,000 a month for 25 years you will be 52 years old my friend and dad broke number one thing you got to do is this you got to change the target and you need to look at the target daily the target you have the wrong target right now if you're struggling you have the wrong target when you change the target everything changes now and I started with zero just so you guys know I didn't have anything okay so look it's simple target what's your new target breathe yeah freedom but but but let's put my a number on it your first target should be 10 million dollars and nothing short of that number one the target number two you need to get your income to a place this is a fascinating concept right here okay if you can do this I guarantee you'll be rich you need to get your income not to what pays your bills but to where you can say forty percent of your gross income is saved all right so now now when you do this math you're like good how much money do I actually need let's kick this up to 20 grand at 20 grand what happens you're saving 8 storage you're paying 8 and now you can live on 4c now this is the right way to do a budget you make 30,000 the 12 is going to storage the 12 is going to the hour and the S and at least you a 6 so now you can start seeing that you got to be somewhere north of 300 grand a year this is what they don't teach you at Harvard you got to be somewhere north to 360 a year before you even have money to live on unless you're just you know your Trek you're just the irresponsible human being that that's you know not putting storing money away for the future ok now you're saving 12 grand a month that's 144 thousand dollars in one year in ten years that's 1.4 million dollars in ten years you're a millionaire stored you guys need to be heavily money motivated from a survival standpoint okay number three thing you're gonna do you're gonna go broke right here and invest the storage storage has to get invested the Golden Goose is only good if she lays eggs otherwise you can kill her eater for chicken need a bait money needs to make babies right so your goal right here is 10 best to invest the storage money and continue to do that until this money over here the passive money is equal to your income right so what would I do I'd go out I'm gonna make 30 grand I'm going to store 12 I'm gonna pay to IRS on the live on 6 Warren Buffett says don't lose money number 1 number 2 don't lose money I would tell you number 3 don't lose money and that's the reality of the situation that's what Peter Thiel was saying a single-digit millionaire cannot even provide themselves with their own personal defense in America ok Hulk Hogan all that money Hulk Hogan made he blew it all he blew it off probably buying hair pieces ok he blew it all he blew it all ended up with a little money thought he was this oh man I got a little money until he had that freakin lawsuit and then he can't even defend himself so it happens to a lot of people how many of units a family member lost her job okay how many have a family member where the kid got a drug addiction he had to go to rehab for 30 days and it cost 40 grand good bad happens how many know somebody got cancer okay how many know somebody to car accident cost three or four hundred Rand Abbott's okay problem is not just rapid happens if people are ready for oh god I can't believe this happened to me oh really god damn you been around long enough right how many of you can't swim I'm just saying you might want to get us one unless it's a with planet rule number 17s find your greatness I love baseball but but but you don't have to love baseball one took to be inspired by greatness watch this but yes but yes [Music] greatness man that's greatness I got that guy you know when you when I watch that I'm like I wonder how many times she's run jumped taken flies I mean thousands and thousands and thousands of times to get to have that moment right there so by the way that's that's an everybody here okay so if you ever see a great ball player whether it's football or hockey or ballet or dancing and you're inspired it's because it's hitting that part of you this like you have that in you rule number 18 change your saint-jean yeah you got it you got it you got everything everywhere you go you need you need to confront every time you hit up against oh the the rooms 249 the the mills 25 bucks Starbucks is six dollars the airline flight costs 600 every time you like oh okay you need to understand that you're being reminded you don't have enough money it has nothing to do with the price but watch how much people disassociate American Airlines has charged it too much than that ticket that has nothing to do with it you know you don't make enough money okay so I had a guy I was in Oakland California I was flying back and I said hey anybody want to fly home with me the guys like I want to fly home with you I'll do it I said good I'll be $48,000 for fuel oh oh I don't want to do it no you can't do it because you don't have money fuel it's not the problem he didn't he don't make enough money so just start flipping things so like now when I see Wagyu remember that Wagyu we ate in Vegas it was like $115 first strip that big never do it again by the way but the fact that I complained about it only means I don't make enough money and if the Wagyu is too much money if the 115 for a little strip of Wagyu is too much money what does that say about what I'm selling my products for not charging them up can't get enough I have this idea so it's really to me it's really we go to Paris man and we go to this Chanel store and there's people in line in line out the front door at the Chanel store I'm like oh my god great experience for me how much money's on this planet go to Monaco see the yachts two hundred million two forty three hundred million dollars three hundred millions they cost thirty million a year to take care of great experience flying private been a great experience for me

doing less moderation has never solved a problem for me the problem that I've had in my life okay was not my marriage there's not okay I'm not a bad parent you should be up here you should be dropping out of the ceiling you should be helping more people rule number 20 have fun before you had that live chat you're having second thoughts about the wake surfing what changed your mind I don't know I mean I always I'm always up for an adventure you know it's just people get grouped into their comfort zones yeah yeah you can make a bomb busy on this and that but like the reality is you know people just cure so would you say this is out of your comfort zone any if I'm not working to deal pull myself up [Music] [Applause] [Music] rule number 21 never give up I lost my dad when I was 10 I lost my brother when I was 20 I lost you know I gave up my career and maybe I'm gonna be a baseball player to drugs I've lost five or six jobs now and I'm a loser I'm a total loser but I do have this little this little light inside of me that says I'm special I have this little thing inside of me it says hey you you are special you know you have something but it was just covered up and all this stuff and

treatment center in the next 24 hours I go to this treatment center I'm there thirty days for the first 30 days in seven eight nine years I don't use drugs oh wow I don't have to use drugs finally that thing where I said I was quitting ten times a day I was quitting ten times a day for the first time in my life I was able to quit successfully I'm leaving the treatment center when the insurance

he's like you'll never make it see when you go to a treatment center you tell them everything about your life like all your secrets all your your your inhibitions and and your you know the things you

books speak into audiences being rich I always wanted to be rich I wanted financially to be rich bawler I wanted to be my dad I wanted to be the guy that could take care of his family they said you need to give up all those ideas and settle for one thing not using drugs if the day ends and you don't use drugs grant that is a good day for you rule number 22 think bigger I just got awarded awarded this deal ninety two point five million dollars 31 acres land you know my buddy Evan Carmichael talks about dream belief yeah but dream what and believe what believe you pay your bills I believe you can one day write a check for 60 million bucks what do you believe what are you going to dream of like literally I think people's dreams are one of the things holding them back because they don't know how to dream I don't know how big the dream this is doable for any person I don't care who you are anybody could do this deal anybody could do that deal I know the guys that own private jet they're no smarter than anybody else they're not smaller they don't work probably don't even work any harder but they did they did think bigger and they get in the end and you can't you can't catch whales in in a in a bowl goldfish bubble so you got to be in the right in the right stream traffic rule number 23 get attention money follows attention money follows attention [Applause] how much attention can you

see me run right now I'm running from one thing to the next thing I'm trying to stay busy cuz as long as I stay busy I don't get in trouble by the way I'm the guy that couldn't pay rent $275 a month in rent rule number 26 study wealthy people so a 25 re committed to my education but this time I started studying not things that were in books but people that had actually created wealth not people that had made money but people that he created wealth this is completely different I was no longer studying accounting and economics I was studying wealthy people and only wealthy people I'm not talking about the doctor there was a neighbor that makes a million dollars a year and he's working 18 hours a day and he hates his job right he's working seven days a week he can't ever spend time with fan I'm talking about the yacht people I'm talking about the people that are spending as much time as they want on vacation I'm talking about the car dealer that had 28 car dealerships or eighty-two car dealerships that has in disposable money I'm talking about the Walton money I'm talking about with the Waltons last week increase their net worth by 11 billion dollars and they haven't worked for 30 years that's the kind of wealth I started study I started reading Barron's in the Wall Street Journal and I quickly realized something that the wealthy people had financial freedom and no one else did okay a very small percentage of people lots of people have money my uncle had millions of dollars he was terrified about his money wouldn't spend it acted like a miser buried money in the backyard I realized my parents had it wrong the information I had that was wrong and this is the number one thing I want you to get out tonight the information you have is wrong the wealthy talk differently than the middle-class I watched my mom and my dad I started comparing the wealthy people to what my dad did my dad worked every day every day of the week if he wasn't working at the office he was working in the yard they saved money they cut their own grass okay we ate all our food we turned the lights off we didn't waste anything and that was uncertainty was insecurity and fear and it perpetuated uncertainty insecurity and fear and and all the lessons about money money doesn't grow on trees a penny saved is a penny earned eat all your food people are starving okay money money you don't waste it don't play with it all that creates insecurity and it's incorrect rule number 27 commit you just got to say I'm going to get more done and quit talking about all this BS that you're telling yourself I don't have time I don't have time I ain't got time I'm tired it don't matter man commit to getting more done the more you get done the more you will earn period in the story right so I get more done than Elena does Elena Elena said here right now she would say this man is a damn machine why do I get more done because I post I post without looking at it I simply get more done why because I'm committed to getting more done I'm not I'm not committed to doing it perfectly rule number 28 change yourselves if you want things to change they can change and they're not gonna change this because you pray just because you wish just cuz you hope and they won't change this because your family wants it to change it it did not change it's still until I started getting information and if you take a notes today it didn't start changing until I started getting rid of information one of the most important things that happened to me in my life was to get rid of information a man told me once he's like hey look man if things don't go well somebody or something is causing it not to go well how many agree with that statement ok things aren't going well something or someone is causing things not to go well ok and before you guys take on the Republicans and the Democrats or the conspiracy he said grant before you take on other people once you just take on these 24 inches right here but before you take on change in the whole world once you handle like between your shoulders cuz you got your hands full rule number 29 execute on ideas different game today folks different game man everything's changed remember when you waited for a taxicab remember that when was that how many people in this planet complained about having to wait on a dirty cab millions and millions and millions of people said oh my gosh hey man let's just send it to them if you can close the distance between an idea and money's okay you'll get rich remember 30 find your drive when I was a kid when I was growing up the guy that the guy that knew how to take care of his environment was my dad I was eight years old and then this dude just do controlled everything in this environment and he left early for work he came home late took care of his family and you knew he never gave anybody a lecture about what to do he just let he was a good example and and he had the money and he made the money we were middle club middle-class families so we were like little red brick house white brick actually white brick house about 1,400 square feet seven people lived in it and my dad I could tell my dad was trying to get somewhere he was trying to move us up he was trying to and he wasn't trying to brag he was trying to take care of and so I was watching that right and I watch where this guy he's the one that made the decision where we went how long we stayed and I started associating that the moneymaker makes the rules this is what Elena was talking about you know there's around the money I make the rules around the money around other things Elena makes the rules so you got to know what you're good at what your job is and what your role is my dad and my mom knew their roles problem with that is when my dad died suddenly at 52 years old my mom was left to do something she didn't she didn't have it she was not skilled up to do and and I was 10 and I wasn't I didn't know how to help my mom and my dad left a little bit of insurance money from the from the life insurance or the death insurance better better it's really called death insurance just can't sell it if they call it that and my mom didn't know how long that money would last so immediately after my dad died when my what mom should have been in grief she would went immediately into massive fear and I could see it I could sense it as a ten year old my mom was in fear every day clipping coupons saving money you know turn the lights off eat all your food it was constant messages go across town to get gas like everything came by strawberries today you know there'll be there'll be 20 cents cheaper tomorrow everything was about fear and so I I couldn't do anything about it or didn't think I could do anything about it and I just kept telling myself one day one day I'ma be in a position to change this and I think that really drives me today delight take care of people not be in that situation again rule number 31 get your money to work you don't have more money folks because nice not it's not because you don't work it's not because you're not a good person it's not because you overspend it's not because you got too much debt it's not because you don't bust your ass it's because your money doesn't bust its ass your money is lazy if your money was employees you would fire your money so here's the rules okay number one the the money the extra money should go into something that gives you money you want your money to have babies the Golden Goose is no law no longer good if she doesn't have eggs the only thing that makes the Golden Goose valuable is the fact that the Golden Goose lays eggs ladies eggs so if you just study the wealthiest families in the world not just in America in the world over long periods of time look at the Queen the Queen of England this much property and one of the richest families in the world why they get cash flow every month from India from England from Ireland from all over the world while the princess in Saudi Arabia is so wealthy because they have constant inflow of money coming from the land that produces the oil the oil comes out of the land and produces cash flow the railroads the railroads back in the day would they do they got all this land together and then they rented that land out to everybody around it why do all the teachers credit unions take all the money from all the teachers around America and then they start investing in real estate that produces cash flow so they can distribute back to their members I'm always going to come back to this one story look real assets that produce real cash flow every month when it pays you every month and you're getting reminded every month I got a check I got a little hundred dollar check I got a two hundred dollar check this month I got a thirteen thousand dollar check today from one of my properties every month I get a check for thirteen grand from that property it's one hundred and fifty thousand dollars a year it didn't start like that it used to be like 1,300 bucks 1300 then it was 26 then it was 5,000 next thing you know it's 13 grand that's one property pays me every month property just sits they're okay just sits there it might not even change in value just sits there and produces cashflow anything that produces cashflow will be worth more money tomorrow that's why Netflix is valuable why because people pay a lot of cash into Netflix and even if Netflix loses money today some company will find Netflix desirable for one reason cash flow is king rule number 32 pay the price when you start getting out oh god this is stupid these cars that you're seeing people buy take $0.50 got six seven two Christmases now I got my wife of Cullinan and I
