business and making tens of 0:18 millions of dollars and most importantly 0:20 I'm gonna share stuff that you probably 0:22 won't find anywhere else because I'm not 0:23 going to tell you oh don't buy Starbucks 0:25 because you know Heavens forbid you 0:27 spend four dollars on a coffee because 0:29 you can make it for 30 cents at home I'm 0:31 not gonna give you any stupid scarcity 0:33 based advice that's built specifically 0:35 for people that have no self-belief no 0:37 beliefs that they can actually go on and 0:39 accomplish anything in life no I'm gonna 0:41 give you seven practical things that you 0:43 can and should Implement from today so 0:45 the first step if you want to become a 0:47 millionaire is stop drinking now I 0:49 actually have a funny story about my 0:51 first ever tattoo it says my cup run is 0:53 over now my cup Runners over means I 0:54 have more than I need I'm abundant but 0:56 it always used to serve a fun double 0:58 purpose because I'm first few years of 1:01 starting my business I was not drinking 1:03 now whenever someone tried to get me to 1:04 drink or try to encourage me to drink of 1:06 course I politely declined and if it 1:08 kept going I used to joke with people 1:09 that didn't know me I went listen I'm a 1:11 recovering alcoholic I can't drink and 1:12 of course because I was young they're 1:13 like you're lying you're joking and I 1:15 used to show them this tattoo and I used 1:16 to say I have this tattoo that says my 1:18 cup run us over because you know my cup 1:20 was always overflowing with alcohol and 1:21 it was funny because at that point they 1:22 would always get super apologetic so 1:24 anyways the reason I tell you the story 1:25 is just because it brings back memories 1:27 of the first couple years of my business 1:29 when I hadn't made a million dollars yet 1:30 I hadn't made a million dollars after 1:32 tax I wasn't a millionaire and in that 1:34 time I did not drink for two reasons 1:36 first of all think about how much money 1:38 you have wasted how much money you have 1:40 spent on useless drinks at the bar shots 1:43 so not only from a financial perspective 1:45 and you know I told you earlier in this 1:46 video I think it is absolutely 1:48 ridiculous people are so dumb to think 1:50 oh you know how I'm gonna become a 1:51 millionaire I'm gonna save all my four 1:53 dollar coffee it's honestly some of the 1:55 stupidest I've ever heard and I 1:57 guarantee you any really really really 1:59 high level successful person will never 2:01 give you advice like that whereas for 2:02 alcohol I would say don't spend money on 2:05 it if you are trying to become the 2:07 person that you want to become because 2:08 listen that's four dollars compared to 2:09 forty dollars eighty dollars a hundred 2:11 hundred fifty dollars you know let's say 2:12 you're having a fun night you buy five 2:14 cocktails for yourself fifteen dollars a 2:16 pop great 75 let's say you cover it for 2:18 your friend you get a little drunk you 2:20 go get a little woozy and you're like 2:21 you know what I'll get this one great 2:22 you just wasted a hundred and fifty 2:24 dollars on alcohol and don't forget you 2:26 would have had to earn something closer 2:28 to depends on where you live 200 to 250 2:31 in order to actually make that money 2:32 because the rest goes to tax so not only 2:34 have you spent all of this money on 2:36 alcohol you have then woken up with less 2:39 capacity to think clearly and less 2:40 capacity to actually make money and make 2:43 your way to that millionaire status Now 2:44 ladies and gentlemen me at the stage 2:46 that I'm at I have a long track record 2:48 in business I have the most incredible 2:49 team between all my companies I have 2:51 over 150 employees so luckily if I want 2:54 to have a drink here and there it 2:55 doesn't really change my life and it 2:57 doesn't really affect things when you 2:58 get to a certain position in life that 3:00 doesn't mean that you should ever slow 3:01 down you still need to put your foot on 3:03 the gas but what it does mean is that 3:05 you can do things slightly differently 3:07 so if you are serious about becoming a 3:09 millionaire this year quit drinking the 3:12 best tip to become a millionaire is 3:14 learn a high income skill and this is 3:16 why I keep beating on about that example 3:18 of the four dollar coffee because listen 3:19 people who are hell-bent on the whole 3:21 saving thing for sure I respect it I 3:23 just personally believe that I don't 3:25 want to live a life of scarcity I don't 3:26 want to live a life where I don't have 3:28 faith in my abilities to make more money 3:30 I think if you're watching this video 3:31 you should understand the goal is to 3:33 make as much money as humanly possible 3:35 and by the way that doesn't mean you 3:37 need to be an entrepreneur that doesn't 3:38 mean you need to be a business owner if 3:39 you join the right organization not some 3:41 old Corporation some stale company 3:44 that's 50 years old and all they care 3:46 about is just doing things in a safe 3:48 predictable way I mean if you join a 3:50 real good company for example there's 3:52 people in my company who make hundreds 3:53 of thousands of dollars almost nearly a 3:55 million dollars a year because they 3:57 provide even far more value than that to 3:59 the company and the way that you do that 4:01 is by learning a high income skill so 4:03 whether that be sales whether that be 4:05 copywriting whether that be content 4:06 creation whether that be and it sounds 4:08 really funny but I can tell you as I 4:09 said having 150 plus employees and 4:11 there's one special a person that comes 4:12 to mind if you are a wizard at Google 4:15 Sheets and you can put together a very 4:16 good analytics tracking that is a high 4:19 income skill and that's something that 4:20 is very valuable to most companies so if 4:23 you're a little confused on which high 4:24 income skill is the best in this day and 4:26 age and which business model is the best 4:28 one to start this year well then I'm 4:30 going to leave a link in the description 4:31 to my most popular YouTube video I break 4:33 down the eight or nine best business 4:35 models and try to use an equation and 4:37 math to come to the conclusion of which 4:39 one makes the most sense for you to 4:41 start I use a formula and an equation to 4:43 get to the bottom of which business 4:45 model makes the most sense for you to 4:47 start this year so I'll go ahead and 4:48 leave that link in the description check 4:50 it out once you finish this video but I 4:51 feel like I made my point very clear 4:53 which is no matter what you do whether 4:54 you're an entrepreneur a solopreneur you 4:56 own multiple big businesses with lots of 4:58 employees like me or you work in a 5:01 company and you see a clear path to 5:02 making a lot more money and you want to 5:04 provide value to that company which is 5:05 why you are dedicated to learning High 5:07 income and high impact skills whatever 5:10 it is just understand that it is far 5:11 easier to get to millionaire status by 5:13 increasing your earning potential rather 5:15 than being scarcity-minded and just 5:16 thinking oh I'm Gonna Save my way over 5:18 the next 17 years I'm just gonna save my 5:20 way to a millionaire is that really an 5:22 inspiring life to you now the next way 5:24 to become a millionaire is have a 5:26 specific amount each week that you put 5:28 in a separate account to invest now it's 5:31 funny in my position I've seen so many 5:33 people make millions and millions and 5:35 millions of dollars tens of millions of 5:36 dollars in fact I even know people who 5:38 have made hundreds of millions of 5:40 dollars and still lost it all so it 5:41 doesn't matter if you can become a 5:42 millionaire if you can't even State a 5:44 millionaire and investing although it is 5:46 slightly tedious it is slightly boring 5:47 will help you get to that millionaire 5:49 Milestone even quicker and this is 5:51 something that I even apply to this day 5:53 my CFO takes a hundred grand in profits 5:55 in dividends moves that money to one of 5:57 my Banks siphons it off to a specific 5:59 account and in that account I 6:01 specifically have cash reserves tucked 6:03 away for Investments now listen of 6:05 course I have worked extremely hard over 6:06 the years to get to a point where I'm 6:08 putting away a hundred grand a week 6:09 minimum just for my investments but it 6:11 wasn't almost like that I start off with 6:13 five dollars a week I remember I was 16 6:14 years old when I first read Tony Robbins 6:16 money Master of the game and the second 6:18 I read it I created a separate bank 6:20 account this is like literally right as 6:21 my business was first starting so I had 6:23 my main account and then I had my 6:24 investment account and every week for my 6:26 main account I would just send five 6:27 pounds over to my investment account 6:29 because I knew that if I didn't get in 6:30 the habit of putting away five pounds a 6:32 week I would never get in the habit of 6:34 you know years and decades later you're 6:35 putting away hundreds of thousands of 6:37 dollars a week into Investments so it's 6:39 just about getting the Habit down listen 6:41 in the same way if you want to run a 6:42 marathon you're not going to lace up and 6:44 run 42 kilometers no you're gonna start 6:45 off late you're gonna start off easy and 6:47 eventually Your Capacity will grow in 6:49 the same way your capacity to run grows 6:51 so too does Your Capacity to earn income 6:53 and then go ahead and invest that now 6:55 the next money tip for you to become a 6:57 millionaire is to have coffee in 6:59 affluent places go and have a coffee in 7:02 an expensive hotel or a very fancy cafe 7:05 in a super nice area because listen your 7:07 Starbucks is gonna cost four dollars and 7:09 it's not gonna be very inspiring that's 7:10 for sure whereas you might go to a super 7:13 expensive hotel you know for example 7:15 here in Dubai where I'm based or in 7:17 London where I used to live there's all 7:19 of these nice hotels you don't need to 7:20 stay at the hotels you don't need to 7:22 spend two thousand dollars a night on a 7:23 room you simply go to the lobby and you 7:26 have a coffee and the coffee might cost 7:27 you eight dollars or ten dollars 7:28 compared to four dollars but you're 7:30 gonna see you're gonna look around 7:31 you're gonna see money around you you're 7:32 gonna see what do wealthy people really 7:34 wear not Gucci and Balenciaga and all 7:37 this and that I mean like really like 7:38 properly wealthy people you're gonna 7:40 start to realize they're really wealthy 7:41 people they wear stuff like this Laura 7:43 Piana zenya Brunello Tom Ford these sort 7:46 of Brands they want to blend in they 7:47 don't want big logos and this and they 7:49 don't want to scream so just simply 7:50 through osmosis you're gonna start to 7:52 get a feeling you're gonna start to get 7:54 an understanding for how do these people ........
