🔴 5 more reasons you're broke

This is a continuation from a previous piece. Don’t forget to read last week’s edition for the first 5:

The vast majority of rich men and women have created a business to offer a product or service that helps people. To say they did not earn it or inherited a trust fund is to quickly rationalize your own failures in life.

Yes, those do exist. But to say that this is the “only way to get rich” is a complete and bold faced lie. Go and look up the latest millionaires and billionaires. If a 17 year old can build an iPhone application and sell it for $30M (looking at you Nick Aloisio) you’re simply making excuses if you think you can’t earn a measly $100K a year working hard.

While everyone else is working toward a bigger and brighter future by working 60+ hours a week, hitting the gym, eating healthy and talking to girls non-stop you’re ruminating about that one time back in high school where your team won the “league championships” and you got laid. No one cares.

If you’re trying to relive memories, we hope you are 80 and those memories are packed with stories of success. Otherwise you’re wasting your time.

The difference between frugality and minimalism is this, minimalism means you don’t need to be frugal if you don’t want to be.

If you are worth $10M and you enjoy shopping at Walmart no one can say anything to you because you have the cash to buy other items.

If you’re not saving any money and don’t have any money in the bank the joke is on you for buying that new iPhone when you receive less than 1,000 emails a day that need responses.

On this site, we mainly takl about finance and girls. We are not going to give advice on cardiac surgeries, big law, consulting or running a Chinese food chain restaurant.

If you attempt to comment on everything you will eventually have nothing.

Find a niche market to become an expert in, do not attempt to be a scholar if you can barely send a simple and short email to deliver a point.

Assuming that you do not meet any criteria in all 9 reasons above (incl. the previous article), and you have had strong mentors in the past, the last step is to make it on your own.

If you don’t do it - you will remain broke.

You are likely already incredibly successful as you’ve developed unbreakable confidence. The last step is a culmination of a successful past. You are now ready to make the final leap of faith down your own road to success. If you choose not to, you will regret it for the rest of your life. Pain today or regret tomorrow.

If you are at the tail end of this list that is good news. You know there are only two choices in life - recover or quit.

Most need to live through all 9 steps before making the last leap of faith. At that point you don’t care if you fail because you know with certainty you will recover.

So now it is time for the guys who are currently doing nothing to take a look in the mirror and honestly ask yourself why am I broke?

Cold approach is god. Case in point:

I went into last week with $20 in my savings account. I ended the week with a $100 an hour job.*

I would never have landed the work, had I not went out looking for it.

* It’s a gig where I only work like two hours a week. Still, not bad though.

💬 Wall Street Playboys says
You made $200 per week in 2 hours. Instead of trying to save $10 an hour scouring for coupons.

Most people prefer to live in a mindset of poverty than go out there and take action. Taking action is 90% of the battle. Don’t worry about “the truth” getting out there most are too scared to try.

Reminds me of Ray Dalio’s concept of ego barriers. Ruthless introspection and adapting all the way to the bank.

Fear is what stops you.

1. Fear stops you chatting to that girl: “oh what if she says no or tells me to fuck off” who gives a fuck you tried unlike the other 90% of men just looking at her and saying oh she cute, i’d love to fuck her the doing nothing because fear stops you

2. Fear stops you starting that business you always wanted to start if it fails it fails you learn from your mistakes
   

Most millionaires have gone broke a few times before making a success

3. Fear is evil

Tell fear to fuck off and start doing shit you never normally do, what is the worst that will happen honestly

I once decided to move abroad fear stopped friends coming with me, it will never work out or oh you be back etc…

They were right - I was back 8 months later. But during those 8 months I was living in a hot country and enjoying life whilst meeting new people and yes I was working as well friends and I work online so bit easier

What did they do? Same shit. They always do work, sit around moaning about money, work, life and most annoying how they want to do more like travel they had chance to but fear stopped them.

See I know a lot of people that have broken the above rules (me included) at times but number 8 stands out the most

I know people driving around in £80,000 cars struggling to pay the finance, have all the latest gadgets, all the cable channels, buy expensive designer crap but cant afford it. Champagne lifestyle on lemonade wages

Then everyone I know who has money or does well spends money but not on shit they dont need or that ties them down

Fuck you fear
Im a fucking lion

Honestly that is what I say to myself sometimes, and no im not on medication ha

Anyway my rant is over some will think this fucking idiot is crazy some will say fuck you fear

If you make a decision and it goes wrong at least you gave it a shot

my grandad one told me a great qoute that makes me smile

Bad decisions make great stories
