Ways to Think About Money

Money Exists Only in Our Minds

Yep, money isn’t real! Today it’s just numbers on a screen. It’s unlimited and used as fuel for the world. Money is the biggest delusion history has ever seen.

Money, the same as religion, only exists in our minds and soul. The same with religion, the moment you get emotional about it, it will control your life.

The moment you take a step back and see it for what it is, you can reap all the benefits with none of the downsides.

The problem most people encounter is that they have no idea how to learn. When we say education their mind immediately goes to being in school — horrible.

Learning how to learn is the ultimate skill one can possess!

Because once you get it, everything out there is up for grabs.

Our life changed once continuous learning became part of our daily life. Anything you want to achieve in life can be learned.

You are paid in proportion to the value you can add to the marketplace.

The truth is you can always increase your value output through education.

Learn to use new tools and your productivity will increase and will it how much you’re paid.

Learn to build systems, learn to communicate and build teams, learn specific techniques by watching the masters..

You want to stop being broke? Start learning things that are valuable!

Not All Money Is the Same

Most people have a maximalist approach when it comes to money. Here’s what that means.

People in Europe think in EURO, People in the US, think in dollars, People in Russia think in Ruble

They are accustomed to uni-directional thinking.

The moment you zoom out the world changes and the difference in value of money is revealed to you.

Life becomes amazing when you earn in US dollars but There’s an entire world out there of financial arbitrage that could dramatically change the quality of your life.

Money Grows on Trees If You Know What Seeds to Plant

Here’s the brutal truth: Almost everyone around the world has more money than they need to survive.

If you’re able to work, you have excess capital. The reason why there’s never enough money to plant money trees is because you ALSO WANT COMFORT! You crave it. You tell yourself that you NEED the TV, the Apple watch, the new phone, that poster you have in your room. In reality you don’t NEED any of those, they’re just comfort.

You’re like a bird in a cage that’s getting fed twice a day. You’re comfortable, but not free. The truth is, some of you have no desire to be free, you love the comfort, so stop complaining about the cage.

The moment you sacrifice comfort, you realise just how much excess capital there is in your life and that’s the key to your freedom.

Now… ask yourself.. Do you want freedom badly enough to sacrifice comfort?

You Chose This Life, You Might as Well Make Money Out of It

You chose to do this… there wasn’t anything else to do…

So you might as well cash in.. otherwise.. What’s the point?! Right?

If you know you know!

This has been at the core of the discipline. When thinking about money, we think in terms of choices. We chose this life. We choose to keep doing this. And our goal is to get good at this.

In order to compete with the all time greats, we need to make money not only to sustain ourselves, but to reinvest and grow, to buy new tools, to hire more people, to train the staff, to do things that nobody else has done before.

If this is your purpose… if this is what you want to do for the rest of your life… make sure you give it your all… how are you supposed to quit after such a short period of time… how are you supposed to quit when you haven’t made the money you really wanted to make.. refocus.

Broke Is Temporary, Poor Is Forever

There’s a big difference between being broke and being poor.

Broke = [means] you have no money.

Poor = you have no way of getting out of the no money situation.

So… are you broke or are you poor?

Poor people accept that their reality is permanent and unchangeable. They teach their children young that they are poor and destined to be poor as well. It’s “the man”, “the system”, the universe that keeps them that way.
