Want To Be Rich? Don't Watch Online Gurus.

want to be rich follow your passion and you'll never work a day in your life this is terrible advice so is Manifest your success slow down follow the rules and learn to compromise in fact this advice is the complete opposite of what actually leads to real success it's almost like these well-known sayings are designed to make you feel good but ultimately keep you poor I'm going to upset a lot of online gurus here with this video but if you're serious about becoming rich then the people spouting this nonsense are completely wasting your time most of these people have never actually made millions or even worse they have but by pretending to be rich look I've been there and done it and made a lot of money in the process so here's my five-step anti-guru formula which will actually help you become rich step one don't follow your passion right let's clear something up right away often when I say don't follow your passion lots of people jump to the conclusion I'm telling people to just focus on the money this is not the case I just fundamentally disagree with the follow your passion advice it's very unclear it's highly self-centered and very impractical for many people let's break down the issues one by one firstly

the actual meaning of the word passion is unclear it's just one of those fluffy words that there's no real Universal definition I suppose the best place to start is the Oxford dictionary which says passion is a strong and barely controllable emotion see what I mean it's extremely open for interpretation this makes it hard to tell the difference between an impulsive short-lived interest and a possible route to success the other interesting thing about passion is that it fades especially if you turn it into a job this is because once you get paid for something that you used to do for fun it becomes an obligation rather than a choice once it fades another passion will probably pop up now say you follow that new passion and abandon the old one you've got to start again from Ground Zero now that's fine once or twice and I've got friends that have done it but to become rich you need to get really good at something and the only way to do this is through hours of dedication secondly following your passion is all about you and not others the true secret to becoming rich is to provide what the market wants not what you want say you were extremely passionate about paper airplanes it's going to be really hard getting rich doing this as a full-time job because the market is so small that's why you have to make sure there's an actual demand for what you do otherwise you can follow your passion all you want but it won't make you wealthy the only person that cares about your feelings is you and maybe your family thirdly the most important issue of them all most people don't have a passion look I'm sick of all this stereotypical advice just do something for long enough this will lead to becoming better and ultimately you'll start to love it I know people that have worked in an office job for 30 years and while good at it they absolutely hate it so with that said I'm going to amend follow your passion to what Mark Cuban once suggested follow your effort emotions are unreliable cold hard facts aren't so if you really want to become rich then closely track where you freely choose to apply your time and pursue that time is your most valuable asset you can't make any more of it you don't know how much you have left and you can never buy it back this means that tracking what you do in your free time is a fantastic way of identifying what you actually care about but this is where you can fall for the next bit of bad advice step two don't

manifest success I'm sick and tired of these people talking about how manifestation changed their lives when you followed your effort the most dangerous thing you can do is stop taking action and start manifesting I now have everything I ever wanted but I'll let you into a secret I didn't manifest once before you jump to the conclusion that I'm saying self-belief is useless hear me out my main problem with manifestation a fake Guru Survivor bias and false expectations it's no secret that fake gurus talk about manifestation non-stop why do you think that is because it sells false hope which is a very profitable product they suck people in with the promise that if they think hard enough then everything will be given to them on a silver platter it's also very easy for them to blame their customers when they're poorly made online course doesn't deliver the promise results I can't tell you the amount of times I've seen people complain after buying one of these courses when they say something like this didn't work for me instead of receiving a refund they normally get an answer like it's because you didn't manifest hard enough this is exactly how most scams work they blame the customer it's not just these fake gurus pushing this bad advice it's also the people that it happened to work for one of the most famous examples is Jim Carrey who famously wrote himself a 10 million dollar check before he achieve success sometime later he found out he was casting the movie Dumb and Dumber for you guessed it 10 million dollars a lot of people point to this as an example of manifestation working however this is phone more likely due to the hundreds of other things Jim Carrey was doing there are probably thousands of other stories just like this one that didn't have a happy ending but we'll never get to hear about those it just sets people up for unrealistic expectation and promotes the idea that you can do nothing and get results so once you're following your effort instead of spending your time manifesting you need to get your head down and develop grits this means instead of giving up when something goes wrong use it as an opportunity to learn and stay committed to the long-term pursuit of your goals by developing grit you can build a resilience and perseverance necessary to achieve last in success once you do this you'll have results that will boost your confidence and self-belief which is ten times more powerful than standing in front of the mirror and repeating that you're gonna be rich one day when you manage to get to this stage you'll probably notice people starting to pull you back which leads me to step three don't slow down

whoever tell allows you to slow down he's trying to stop you becoming successful moving swiftly led me to quicker Solutions which resulted in me making a lot more money but before you say it I'm not saying you shouldn't be patient there is a huge difference let me explain you need to have a sense of urgency in your life after all we're only getting older and your brain is only getting slower so it's best to push yourself now while you have the energy to do it small actions lead to Big outcomes and the small things that you do each day build on each other and compound over time that's why you should take action now phrases like if you build it they will come a really misguiding as they suggest that if you wait then things will work out I get it who doesn't want to believe that when you build a great product or offer a fantastic Service as long as you wait long enough you'll become rich the truth is the world doesn't work like that if you sit back and wait for the money to start flowing in then it probably never will taking your time will lead to you missing your golden opportunity so don't listen to the people that are holding you back if something needs to be done do it there's no point waiting you need to move swiftly with your actions but be patient with the results however if you always do everything the way other people expect then you will never reach your true potential which leads me on to step four don't follow

the rules on my school report it would always say the same thing Mark has potential but is highly disruptive I used to get told off for that however if the same thing was written on Times magazine with a big picture of me plastered on the front then I'll be celebrated for it the truth is if you do everything the same as everyone else then you'll end up with the same results I like to think of it as being a fisherman and instead of fishing where everyone else does you decide to go off the beat and track and find a Hidden Lake that's why when I opened my first shop I went back to my disruptive Tendencies and wrecked my brains for whatever I could to do a bit differently from my competitors that's when I came up with this genius marketing strategy to establish myself in the area in the dead of night I went around the neighborhood with hundreds of signs and cable ties I stuck these signs up directing people towards my shop from all directions it worked wonders about three months later I got a visit from the authorities who asked me to remove the signs however by that point they'd done their intended job and now word of mouth was already spreading about my shop you're competing against a lot more people by breaking the rules you can quite often find a lot of new opportunities now you've followed your effort developed grit and broken the rules there is one more advice trap you can fall into step five don't learn to

compromise people say compromising is great you need to be able to find common ground and negotiate with people in life so you can all get along and come to the best Solutions no it's not that's not what compromising is compromise is about reaching a settlement that is often lower than the standards you would expect whether or not it feels the right thing to do I see compromise as another word for mediocracy I get you may be thinking if you go through life not listening to others then you're going to come across as a bit of a disc and I completely agree other people may have ideas and perspectives that you haven't considered learning from them is vital but that doesn't mean you have to compromise there's a huge difference between someone that doesn't listen to others because of their huge ego and someone that listens and weighs up their options as the author of Narnia C. S Lewis once wrote the safest Road to Hell is the gradual one to me this means the compromising might seem like the easy way at first but it'll end up being a nightmare later when you're too far down the road to turn back you need to be open to ideas but close the compromises ask yourself how do you want to be remembered as a person who compromise on their goals and dreams doing things to make others happy and avoid arguments or the person who stood up for what they believed in had a Clear Vision and lived their life on their terms if you'd like to know seven secrets that will make you more money then you can watch this video next but don't click on it just yet make sure to subscribe if you want to grow your wealth okay I'll see you over there
