“If you’re not scared, you’re half-*ssing your potential.”

“Imagine you were in the desert and had an oasis that gave you just enough water to survive but never enough to be completely fulfilled.

Sure, your oasis sucks a big bag of rocks, but you would likely never leave to look for another oasis if it meant risking your small-yet-sh*tty, comfortable oasis.

In fact, the only thing that could ever push you to find something better was your oasis drying up or an invasion of poisonous snakes or something equally as terrifying or detrimental to your health.

It’s a sad thought, but the only way most people achieve true motivation to improve their lives (in a massive way) is when their oasis has dried up and they are in such a bad spot that they have to make a change.”

“In order to obtain any money at all, you need other people. More so, you need these people to want to give you their money.

So, the true secret to making money is getting people to do what you want (which is to give you their money). To do this, you need to gain control over them or persuade them (in a good way).

In short, if you are trying to get rich, you are actually trying to gain control over other people. If you start to think like this, then you will start to discover how to become wildly successful.”

“In our society, we have been poisoned with a victim mentality.

Everything is someone else’s fault. It’s your boss’s fault, it’s the economy’s fault, it’s a software malfunction’s fault, it’s anyone or anything else’s fault but your own.

This mind-set will get you wiped out faster than anything when you are trying to become wealthy.

Why? Because even if a bad situation is someone else’s fault 'in theory', you are the one who loses money and faces losing your wealth and success.”

“Instead of spending our time working, we should spend our time creating systems that do the work for us.

This term is often referred to as passive income. Passive income is income that our machine generates once it is built and is completely separated from our time.

In short, this means you will be generating money even if you’re blackout drunk at a rock concert.”

“It takes a giant shock in our system for us to break our limiting beliefs that impede our wealth.”

“It’s always easy to make things bigger and more negative than they need to be. The next time you catch yourself making a mountain out of a molehill, ask yourself how much it will matter in a month.

Changing up the time frame, can help shut down overthinking!”

“It’s common sense that the longer it takes to build something, the more likely something will go wrong simply due to the amount of time spent building it. Let me explain.

Imagine we are putting a roof on a house, and if it rains, the whole project will be ruined. If we complete the job within twenty-four hours, there is a low chance we will run into rain.

However, if it takes us a month to complete the roof, there is a much better chance that at least one rainy day will come and force us to start all over.

What people are doing financially is the equivalent to building a financial roof for thirty years and praying it doesn’t ever rain. What you need to understand is that it will rain and it will probably rain multiple times throughout your lifetime.

So, not only is this get-rich-slowly mind-set horribly risky, it is almost downright impossible in most circumstances.”

“Jordan Belfort might have been a scamming, idiot drug addict, but he understood the second pillar of wealth so well that those facts didn’t matter.

Jordan understood how to separate his time from making money, which led him to get rich quickly.”

“Keep telling me I can’t and I’ll keep showing you you’re dumb.”

“Know:

The exact lifestyle you want, including the exact house you want to live in and the car you want to drive.

Precisely how much money you need to do what you want.

A clear, ultimate business goal defined by actual math to reach your monetary goal.

Five clear-cut goals you must achieve to reach this ultimate monetary goal.

Smaller goals that make reaching your five larger goals simple and straightforward with clear action steps.”

“Leave your excuses the f*ck behind. No one cares.”

“Living in stress due to money drastically cuts down your quality of life no matter who you are.”

“Many entrepreneurs have an abundance mind-set when they begin, but the second they have something to lose, they revert back into a gold-hoarding cave troll.

Don’t be one of these entrepreneurs, because your competition will eventually catch up to you, and your ghetto-rigged, low-investment business will soon implode.

Whenever you feel scarcity creeping into your life, start looking for ways to expand. You must keep abundance in your life and keep giving yourself proof that there is abundance.

The best ways to prove this to yourself are by expanding your business and by doing anything possible to create more wealth.”

“Maybe you got a bad roll of the dice in a few areas in life, but nothing is stopping you from continuing to roll the dice until you win.”

“Mediocre entrepreneurs provide and sell products. Wildly successful entrepreneurs provide and sell emotions.”

“Money is not real.”

“Money is repulsed by people with a scarcity mind-set.”

“Motivation is near impossible to trigger without an extreme situation.”

“No one and I mean no one starts off with any skills. We are all very bad at everything we eventually become great at.

Very few people start off in the perfect life situation and with the perfect skillset to get what they want – and if you are waiting for that to happen in order to start, it will never happen.

If you're poor, stupid, broke, unskilled. Get a job, learn something, train yourself in profitable skills. It's that simple.”

“No one ever got rich until someone else paid them enough money to make them rich.”

“No one ever won anything real by being a victim.”

“Normal is the opposite of awesome. F*ck normal. Be awesome.”

“Our culture tells you to become shallow, keep up with the Joneses, to bend and censor yourself to become successful.

F*ck that! Change your bad habits. Improve your skillset. Don’t change you. Apologize for nothing.

Success is meant to be fun. Life is too short not to enjoy that fun.”

“People want to live like the 1% while having the work ethic of the 99%. That’s cute.”

“Planning for every potential problem before you take action will not help you succeed. It will either lengthen the time it takes you to reach your goal, or you’ll never reach your goal at all.

If you want to advance in your field or your business, you must stop thinking about it and stop planning it, and just take action.”

“Separating money from time is essential to becoming truly wealthy and having a high quality of life.”

“Show up every day; there’s no such thing as an overnight success.”

“So many strive to be successful to become some fake, snooty version of themselves.

F*ck that. Stay weird. Be so successful that the world has to change to you, not the other way around.”

“Stop trying to be the person people want you to be and you want them to think you are.

Literally, nothing has less to do with you or your happiness.”
