7 Things I Quit That Took Me from Broke to Multi-Millionaire

Growing up broke and overwhelmed, I made a radical change. Not by adding more to my plate, but by quitting the things that held me back. Today, I want to share the 7 things I gave up to transform my life — and how you can too.

1. I Quit People Who Drained My Energy

I had a childhood friend who only called when he needed something — money, favors, time. Never when I was struggling, never to celebrate my wins.

One day, I asked myself: “What does a great friend actually look like?” He didn’t check a single box.

That’s when I started my “friendventory” — an audit of everyone in my life. If they wanted more from me than for me, they were out.

> Today’s energy shapes tomorrow’s reality. Protect it fiercely.

2. I Quit Taking Advice from the Wrong People

People love to give advice — even when they have no results to back it up.

I stopped taking fitness tips from people out of shape. Business advice from coaches who had never built anything. Parenting tips from billionaires with broken families.

Instead, I learned to ask: “Do they have what I want in that area of life?” If not, I move on.

> Success leaves clues — but only from people who’ve walked the path.

3. I Quit Blaming Others

I used to blame traffic, coworkers, bad luck — anything but myself. But here’s the truth:

If it’s always someone else’s fault, you have zero control.

Once I took full responsibility for everything in my life — even the things that “weren’t my fault” — I took back my power. It changed everything.

> We’re not creatures of circumstance — we’re creators of it.

4. I Quit Saying Yes to Everything

Early on, I said yes to everything. I didn’t want to miss out.

But that made me overcommitted, overwhelmed, and underperforming.

Now? I say no to 90% of opportunities — so I can go all in on the 10% that actually matter.

> Say “no” to distractions today, so you can say “yes” to your dreams tomorrow.

5. I Quit Being a Prisoner to My Phone

One of the kids in my mentorship program told me his biggest vice wasn’t drugs, alcohol, or friends. It was his phone.

Endless scrolling, endless distraction.

If your life isn’t exciting enough to pull you away from your screen, that’s the problem. Build a life so rich in purpose that social media becomes boring.

> Turn off notifications. Schedule real life. Focus is your most valuable currency.

6. I Quit Just Reading Books — I Started Studying Them

I used to read books just to check them off the list. Speed-reading, no notes, no action.

Now? I highlight, take notes, and implement instantly.

Even better — I teach what I learn. That forces me to understand it deeply and live it fully.

> Don’t just consume. Execute. Study books like your future depends on it — because it does.

7. I Quit Comparing Myself to Others

For years, I felt like I was behind. I’d look at people my age doing “better” and spiral into insecurity.

Until I realized: I’m not them. They’re not me.

Now, I only compare myself to who I was yesterday. That’s the only fair game.

> Comparison is the thief of confidence. Growth is personal — not public.

Final Thoughts: What Will You Quit?

If you want a richer life, you have to start subtracting — not just adding.

Let go of what’s draining you. Stop listening to the wrong voices. Reclaim your time, your attention, and your identity.

And if you’re ready to take action, I created a guide just for you.

Don’t just scroll. Start building.

You have everything you need — if you’re willing to quit the things holding you back.
