00:00:00
this is exactly how I would go from
00:00:02
working a 9 to-5 job to becoming an
00:00:04
independent entrepreneur making a
00:00:06
million dollars within the next year you
00:00:07
see I went from earning $55,000 a year
00:00:10
in a job that I hated to having a net
00:00:13
worth of over $100 million and let me
00:00:15
tell you I made so many mistakes but if
00:00:18
I could go back and do it all over again
00:00:20
this is how I would do it even faster
00:00:22
and better so here are my 10 tips to go
00:00:24
from being a 9 to-5 team member to
00:00:26
thinking acting and earning like a
00:00:28
millionaire your first step to becoming
00:00:30
a millionaire is identifying your
00:00:32
millionaire skill think about it what
00:00:34
does a millionaire know that you don't
00:00:36
know so this is what I would do I would
00:00:38
go to Google Google is my best friend I
00:00:40
actually have a hashtag with a sticker
00:00:42
that a team member gave me that says
00:00:44
Google that because I say this so
00:00:46
often so you going to Google occupations
00:00:48
of millionaires and you're going to come
00:00:49
up with a list there's going to be
00:00:51
things like engineer lawyer entrepreneur
00:00:54
real estate agent and a whole bunch of
00:00:56
other things where people are actually
00:00:58
making a million dollars a year and if
00:00:59
you put this on a grid where you listed
00:01:01
out all the opportunities and then you
00:01:03
listed your interest level on a scale of
00:01:05
1 to five in that career field you're
00:01:08
going to have a better understanding of
00:01:10
if you're interested in this thing now
00:01:11
the next call to look at is do you
00:01:13
already have knowledge in this area so
00:01:15
you take all of your businesses you look
00:01:17
at where you're interested in you look
00:01:18
at what your skill set is so you
00:01:20
identify which of these occupations you
00:01:22
are going to choose to become a
00:01:24
millionaire in so when I was deciding
00:01:26
what path I wanted to take in order to
00:01:28
become a millionaire what I realiz
00:01:29
realized is I'm not great at math and I
00:01:32
didn't want to go back to school to have
00:01:33
to get some degree that was going to
00:01:35
prolong the path for me to actually make
00:01:37
the money that I wanted to make so I
00:01:39
decided to become an entrepreneur I
00:01:40
decided to launch a business this was
00:01:42
the fastest and easiest path for me
00:01:45
based on my interest and my existing
00:01:47
level of Knowledge and Skills you have
00:01:48
to decide what that is for you pick one
00:01:51
that you are at least interested in and
00:01:53
are willing to commit to figure out how
00:01:55
do you become great millionaire great at
00:01:57
that particular occupation so now your
00:01:59
second step is to stop hanging out with
00:02:01
your broke friends you will never become
00:02:03
a millionaire if you cannot cut broke
00:02:05
people out of your life I remember when
00:02:07
I had this Epiphany that I was going to
00:02:09
create this business six years ago I
00:02:11
started telling my friends at the time
00:02:13
about it and I thought that I was going
00:02:15
to be met with excitement with questions
00:02:17
with just some level of support to be
00:02:20
honest with you and instead of any of
00:02:22
that my friends made fun of me asked
00:02:25
kind of condescending questions and what
00:02:27
was more hurtful than the condescending
00:02:29
questions was the way that they would
00:02:31
just ignore this new thing that I was
00:02:33
doing that I was excited about they
00:02:35
would continue to talk about old
00:02:37
all of the old stories things
00:02:39
that were happening in their life that
00:02:41
might not honestly be that interesting
00:02:43
or that different and here I was putting
00:02:44
all of this time into becoming this next
00:02:46
version of myself I was learning new
00:02:48
things I was staying up late I was
00:02:49
meeting new people to create a new life
00:02:51
for myself that I was so excited about
00:02:53
and they couldn't have been any less
00:02:55
interested your energy is finite your
00:02:57
broke friends if they're not interested
00:02:59
in hearing about your goals and they
00:03:00
aren't excited about supporting you
00:03:02
they're going to invalidate you which
00:03:04
might actually cause you to give up in
00:03:06
the process that's not what you're here
00:03:07
to do you're here to actually learn the
00:03:09
steps to make it easy on yourself and
00:03:11
the fastest way to make this easy on you
00:03:13
is to get rid of friends who are going
00:03:15
to hold you back in the process now that
00:03:17
you've removed your broke friends from
00:03:19
your life you have to replace them with
00:03:22
Rich teachers so think of whoever your
00:03:24
Idol is for me this was a len a card
00:03:27
down I wanted to be interesting enough I
00:03:29
wanted to be valuable enough that she
00:03:31
would want to hang out with me and what
00:03:32
I realized is Elena would not be hanging
00:03:35
out with Natalie in present state so
00:03:37
what does Natalie in presence date need
00:03:38
to start doing so that if I get the
00:03:41
opportunity to be in Elena's presence
00:03:43
she is interested in having a
00:03:45
conversation with me and let me tell you
00:03:46
this advice is only for people who are
00:03:48
really willing to be honest with
00:03:49
themselves because some people might lie
00:03:50
to themselves and think well there's no
00:03:52
reason that Elon Musk wouldn't want to
00:03:54
hang out with me or Grant Cardone
00:03:55
wouldn't want to hang out with me but if
00:03:57
you haven't done anything great if you
00:03:58
haven't created anything thing great why
00:04:00
would they want to spend time with you
00:04:02
and that's a hard pill to swallow
00:04:03
however once you swallow it then you can
00:04:05
get into action the most practical tip I
00:04:07
can give you is to identify the 10 most
00:04:10
successful people in the specific field
00:04:12
that you decide that you want to pursue
00:04:13
where you want to become a millionaire
00:04:15
in and you study them so I chose the
00:04:18
Cardone specifically to study because
00:04:20
they had the stats they were a power
00:04:22
couple they already had a billion dollar
00:04:24
net worth which was my Target and they
00:04:26
worked together those criteria change
00:04:29
everything for me so this brings me to
00:04:30
step number four which is stop wasting
00:04:32
your time time is your most important
00:04:35
asset your ability to study to learn to
00:04:39
educate yourself on mornings evenings
00:04:42
weekends in the shower driving you use
00:04:46
those opportunities to build the skill
00:04:48
set that you are learning from the best
00:04:50
of the best for me that was a
00:04:52
combination of podcasts YouTube videos
00:04:54
and books I studied every waking minute
00:04:56
so that I could get the education
00:04:58
because if you just believe that that
00:05:00
somebody knew something more than you
00:05:01
and that's all you had to do is learn
00:05:03
from them what they know that you don't
00:05:05
know that's the hack but most people
00:05:07
study from the wrong people they don't
00:05:08
set the target to begin with they don't
00:05:10
even think that they can become a
00:05:11
millionaire so all of this work just
00:05:13
goes to waste and then they waste their
00:05:15
time they waste their time with Netflix
00:05:17
they waste their time scrolling
00:05:19
endlessly on social media you see if you
00:05:21
want to be a millionaire you should only
00:05:22
be following millionaires on social
00:05:24
media you have to stop wasting your time
00:05:27
on things that aren't allowing you to
00:05:29
you gain competency if you really want
00:05:32
to be a millionaire in your chosen field
00:05:34
you have to be an expert you have to be
00:05:36
fully competent and understand the terms
00:05:40
the definitions the players how the game
00:05:43
works you have to be a student of the
00:05:45
game that you were choosing to play step
00:05:47
five is probably the hardest for most
00:05:49
people to accept and it is to go into
00:05:51
debt which translates to you have to be
00:05:53
willing to invest once you invest and
00:05:57
you realize that the money that you have
00:05:59
is a tool to get you to where you want
00:06:02
to go instead of something that you save
00:06:05
and you afford all of a sudden
00:06:07
opportunities open up because when you
00:06:09
invest you can get in the rooms with
00:06:13
people who have done what you are trying
00:06:15
to do but without investing and
00:06:17
potentially having to go into debt you
00:06:19
are just stuck in your house in your car
00:06:21
doing what you've always done being in
00:06:23
the same environment you've always been
00:06:24
in and you never have to force yourself
00:06:26
to become the type of person who can be
00:06:28
in a different room but it feels
00:06:30
uncomfortable because nobody wants to
00:06:31
invest before they know how to make
00:06:33
money but in order to make money you
00:06:35
have to invest Grant Cardone has my
00:06:37
favorite quote on this he says if you
00:06:38
don't invest time and money you will
00:06:41
never have time and money so for
00:06:43
instance a $10,000 investment in a
00:06:45
mastermind is not what's going to make
00:06:47
you broke what's actually making you
00:06:49
broke is the fact that you don't have
00:06:50
the knowledge that is inside that
00:06:52
$110,000 Mastermind you see you need to
00:06:55
understand what those teachings are and
00:06:57
without having access how are you going
00:06:58
to learn those things see the first time
00:07:00
that I invested in myself it was a
00:07:02
marketing course for
00:07:03
$4,000 I did not have the $4,000 to be
00:07:06
able to invest in this marketing course
00:07:08
but I recognized that I needed to get
00:07:10
myself out there I needed to get myself
00:07:12
known and the way that you do that is
00:07:14
through promotion and through marketing
00:07:15
so I was at an event it was a women's
00:07:17
event I was all jazzed up I was excited
00:07:20
I was like yeah these speakers are
00:07:22
amazing they just were like lighting me
00:07:24
up I was like what would it be like if I
00:07:25
could be up on that stage with them one
00:07:27
day I deserve to be up on that stage
00:07:29
with them one day I'm not at that point
00:07:31
right now but that's what I want so at
00:07:33
the end of the event they made an offer
00:07:34
for $4,000 marketing course and I
00:07:38
panicked like oh my gosh $4,000 is so
00:07:41
much money and what if I don't make that
00:07:42
money back what if I could learn all
00:07:43
this stuff online and then it was just a
00:07:45
waste of money and then I feel silly and
00:07:47
all of the self-doubt just started to
00:07:48
creep in as soon as they started talking
00:07:50
about $4,000 which was a number that I
00:07:52
was uncomfortable with but I made the
00:07:53
investment I just did it I was like I'm
00:07:55
going all in because it's going to force
00:07:57
me to become a different version of
00:07:58
myself and I'm unwilling in one year
00:08:00
from now to be the same person that I am
00:08:01
today step six is simply to get yourself
00:08:05
in the room to go from zero to a
00:08:07
millionaire you need to get into the
00:08:09
rooms with people who could actually
00:08:11
help you if you don't get into the rooms
00:08:13
you're not going to become that person I
00:08:15
have attended so many conferences where
00:08:17
I use them as an opportunity to say
00:08:20
Natalie in 3 months from now when you
00:08:22
attend this event you are going to have
00:08:24
completed XYZ projects so that you can
00:08:26
talk about this because you know that
00:08:28
these types of people are going to be
00:08:30
there and you have to prepare yourself
00:08:31
cuz right now you're lame right now you
00:08:33
don't have anything to offer anybody
00:08:34
it's just the reality but you are going
00:08:36
to have something to offer somebody
00:08:38
because in 3 months from now you have a
00:08:40
Target and you can create something in 3
00:08:42
months from now you can create a landing
00:08:44
page you can create an offer you can
00:08:46
make movement if you know that you've
00:08:48
committed yourself to be a place in the
00:08:50
future so you become somebody in the
00:08:52
process of attending that event that is
00:08:54
valuable to the people that you know are
00:08:56
going to be there but you are never
00:08:58
going to take the steps that are
00:08:59
required if you don't actually commit to
00:09:01
getting in the room this is why for
00:09:02
those 10 people that you are studying
00:09:05
find rooms that they are going to be in
00:09:07
and invest your money to get in that
00:09:09
room so that when you show up you are
00:09:11
forcing yourself to become the type of
00:09:13
person that they would want to spend
00:09:14
time with you get in the proximity to
00:09:17
people who are making a million dollars
00:09:18
and when you are in proximity you
00:09:20
freaking impress the hell out of them
00:09:22
the next step is to find out who is
00:09:24
going to be in this room and research
00:09:26
the hell out of them my motto is become
00:09:29
the ultimate stalker but the good kind
00:09:31
of stalker the stalker who is informed
00:09:33
the stalker who does their research and
00:09:35
isn't creepy and weird don't be that
00:09:37
kind of soccer but the person that
00:09:39
actually shows up and has looked up
00:09:41
people ahead of time knows who their
00:09:43
targets are because when you go to an
00:09:44
event the target is not needing every
00:09:46
single person that would be an
00:09:47
unsuccessful action the target is
00:09:49
finding the handful and remember this it
00:09:52
is always a handful you were trying to
00:09:54
find a handful of people who can help
00:09:57
you get to where you were trying to go
00:09:58
so when you look at the event ahead of
00:10:00
time how can you find out who is going
00:10:02
to be in the room do they have a
00:10:04
WhatsApp group do they have a Facebook
00:10:05
group how are people inside this
00:10:07
community connecting what's cool about
00:10:09
living in today's day and age is that
00:10:11
when you go to an event like this they
00:10:13
are likely trying to build a community
00:10:16
which means that they have some sort of
00:10:17
a community already existing ahead of
00:10:19
time so do your freaking research this
00:10:22
is what millionaires do they always go
00:10:24
into rooms totally prepared your next
00:10:27
step to acting and earning like a
00:10:29
millionaire is learning how to sell
00:10:31
because you see the richest most
00:10:33
successful people you know they all know
00:10:35
how to sell making money is a game
00:10:38
comprised of knowing how to sell every
00:10:40
single day you're going to have to sell
00:10:42
yourself sell your customers and sell
00:10:44
your future team members on who you are
00:10:46
what you do and why anybody should care
00:10:49
so regardless of if you want to be an
00:10:51
engineer a lawyer an entrepreneur a real
00:10:54
estate agent you have to learn how to
00:10:56
sell so I strongly recommend that you
00:10:58
are learning in the skill that you
00:11:00
decided that you were going to become a
00:11:01
millionaire in while concurrently
00:11:04
learning how to sell because sales will
00:11:06
follow you through out your millionaire
00:11:08
process the best person to teach on
00:11:10
sales is Grant Cardone he changed my
00:11:13
life when I read the book sell or be
00:11:14
sold because it teaches you how to get
00:11:17
sold on yourself first so that then you
00:11:19
have confidence in selling other people
00:11:21
on you but if you aren't sold on you
00:11:23
first you're going to have a lot of
00:11:24
challenges selling other people cuz
00:11:26
you're going to feel a little bit like a
00:11:27
fraud and to me that is the
00:11:28
misconception in sales is that it's
00:11:30
braggy or that you have to be stumping
00:11:33
somebody or giving them something that
00:11:34
they don't want it's about listening to
00:11:36
somebody it's about understanding their
00:11:38
problems and it's about you offering
00:11:40
effective solutions to move them away
00:11:42
from their problems at this point you
00:11:44
pick a niche you've made new friends
00:11:47
you've invested time and money learning
00:11:49
and getting into the room and you've
00:11:51
learned how to sell now it's time to
00:11:53
start making money but we need to be
00:11:55
crystal clear on our goals which is why
00:11:57
step nine is to set to your millionaire
00:12:00
metrics you will never be a millionaire
00:12:02
if you don't have millionaire metrics
00:12:04
the coolest thing about becoming a
00:12:05
millionaire is that it is literally just
00:12:07
math if you made
00:12:10
$2,740 a day you would be a millionaire
00:12:12
so whatever it is that you are selling
00:12:14
you have to do the math backwards to
00:12:16
understand how many of those units how
00:12:18
many of those products how many of those
00:12:19
Services you would need to sell in order
00:12:21
to generate a million dollars but once
00:12:23
you understand how many units you have
00:12:24
to sell you do have to break it down for
00:12:26
day so that every single day you know
00:12:29
what your goals are in order to hit your
00:12:31
million dooll targets you have to get
00:12:33
clear on your Target and what you need
00:12:35
to be doing each and every day because
00:12:37
as you come into challenges and
00:12:39
roadblocks that's okay it is quite
00:12:41
literally part of the process but if you
00:12:43
give up on the way because you become
00:12:45
unenthused or uninspired or you're not
00:12:48
even looking at your targets any longer
00:12:49
then you're never going to get there
00:12:51
knowing that you're going to come into
00:12:52
obstacles it's just part of the game the
00:12:54
final step to thinking acting and
00:12:56
earning like a millionaire is to remind
