  • Before we get started, I want to let you know that I started a brand new channel called

  • Interesting Enough.

  • Where I talk about interesting stuff like will the economy collapse because of this

  • virus, how long will it take us to create a vaccine, is the Rotchschilds family is as

  • rich as we think?

  • Or even things such as is illuminati is real or not, some fascinating facts about world

  • war 2 and a lot of other interesting stuff.

  • So head to the channel by clicking in the link in the description and subscribe.

  • The pandemic seems to have struck everyone, from simple employees to the world's wealthiest

  • people.

  • It's not half of the year yet, and the number of billionaires has already dropped to 2095

  • (from 2153), and their combined wealth fell to just 8 trillion dollars (from 8.7).

  • It seems like life is difficult up there on the top.

  • `But most of them should not complain because almost half of them simply inherited their

  • wealth.

  • Of course, it's not easy to sustain so much wealth in the first place, but it's way more difficult and challenging to make that much money in the first place.

  • How long do you think you need to make a billion dollars.

  • Or let's take a smaller number, how about 100 million dollars or even just one million

  • dollars.

  • Assuming you are a professional who makes 100 dollars an hour, which is multiple times

  • more than the average wage.

  • It will take you almost 5 years (4.8) to make a million dollars if you don't pay taxes and

  • save every penny.

  • Sounds not bad, right?!

  • But to make a billion dollars, you need almost 5 thousand years (4.8K).

  • If you want to complete with likes of Bezos or Gates, you need to work for 480,769 years at least.

  • But You probably won't even live for more than 100 years.

  • So what does it takes to get rich!

  • A lifetime, maybe even multiple lifetimes, that's why 45 percents of all billionaires have inherited their wealth.

  • Wealth has cheat codes, you can't attain one unless you are going to use them.

  • Even if you manage to earn a thousand dollars an hour, the only way to building wealth is

  • to understand the system and take advantage of it.

  • Wealth is making money while you are sleeping.

  • Don't aim to make 6 figures, aim to make 6 figures while you are sleeping.

  • We associate wealth with yachts, supercars, and jets.

  • Supercars might be in a reasonable range, but flying private or owning a yacht is so

  • expensive that even most millionaires can't afford them.

  • Private jets usually cost tenths of millions of dollars, on top of that, it takes another

  • few million dollars for maintenance every year.

  • You can't be spending every penny you earn on that private jet.

  • You still need a shelter over your head and bread on the table, so you have to earn tenths

  • of millions of dollars a year to afford a private jet or a yacht.

  • Even those who are making so much money are using private jet membership at best.

  • Because again - private jets are so expensive that even millionaires can't afford them.

  • But Yachts even more.

  • Those super yachts you see on the screen of your smartphone are beyond what even billionaires can afford.

  • Since their price tag goes beyond hundreds of millions of dollars to several billion.

  • A luxury life might seem attractive, but attaining wealth can break you.

  • Being mentally strong enough to handle so much stress isn't easy.

  • After a long day, you can come back home and chill while watching Netflix.

  • But the CEO of your company that drives Bentley can't afford that, he has no such thing "leaving

  • work at work."

  • Imagine having dinner with your spouse and them having 100 other things on your mind

  • that you haven't finished yet.

  • Whether you go to bed at 1 or 2 AM. the alarm will go sharp off at 6 AM every single day,

  • even on Saturdays and Sundays, and you can't afford to hit that snooze button.

  • There is no such thing, I don't want to do this or I can't do that.

  • You have to get the job done one way or another, there is no one you can turn to because everyone

  • turns to you.

  • Every decision you make will impact a ton of other people, Investors on one side, employees

  • on the other, and you have to survive somehow in the middle.

  • Didn't do enough today?

  • Perfect, now you have 200 hundred things to do tomorrow?

  • Vacation?

  • The very concept of a vacation or even weekends is erased from your memory.

  • What are you going to delegate?

  • What you don't?

  • Where is your focus, is the budget accurate, is cashflow in balance, how is the team feeling,

  • is morale high or low, where do you place your next bet.

  • Your chief engineer wants to leave the company, can you stop him, if not, have you already

  • found a replacement.

  • An endless number of decisions are lying on your desk, waiting for you.

  • From planning to everything else and most importantly, you are responsible for each

  • of them going wrong.

  • The moment you shift focus to HR only, that moment your products suffer, and your lead

  • engineers start quitting or vice versa.

  • The moment you drive to the office with a Ferrari, the entire culture of the company

  • turns upside down.

  • The rest of the team will start blowing the company\s budget as if there is no tomorrow.

  • You made it look possible.

  • the company is making money, lets all have fun.

  • You are responsible for their actions.

  • The entire company will take an example of you, so you have to set the bar high enough

  • to create a culture that leads the company in the right direction.

  • Late for a meeting?

  • Next time your lead engineer would be late so as the rest of the team.

  • In fact, now they would start tomorrow.

  • You are literally expected to make no mistakes at all.

  • Because every mistake carries with it enormous consequences that your company might not be

  • able to afford.

  • You can afford parties though, but that can easily soften you.

  • If your focus isn't where it's supposed to be, the business will definitely suffer.

  • Sometimes its luck, you are at the right time, with the right people, at the right place

  • with the right idea and the right skills, You climb to the top quickly.

  • But that is an exception because the overwhelmingly vast majority of people, will have to spend

  • decades to climb to the top.

  • And all that is waiting for you there is endless work.

  • People imagine that somewhere at the top there is a place that you reach where you can relax

  • and enjoy life!

  • And they would sacrifice their mental and even physical health to achieve it.

  • Fortunately or unfortunately, there isn't, that's why a wise man once said - "stop hopping

  • for a complication of anything in life."

  • Life is a flow, it stops when you get buried 6 feet down the ground, till then it is a

  • challenge that you take every single day.

  • When you are in school, you want to get to college, when you get to college, you realize

  • that life isn't as glamorous in college as you imagined, so you wait to graduate and

  • get a proper job, when you get a job, you realize that you need to get a better position

  • to enjoy the pleasures life has to offer and as you keep climbing the ranks, you keep imagining

  • that your next step is going to be your final destination, little do you know that time

  • isn't waiting for you.

  • At some point, you will question yourself, what's next?

  • Why am I hustling so much?

  • Especially when you solve all the problems that money can solve!

  • It takes a universe of discipline and willpower to keep doing what you re doing.

  • Such thoughts lead to depression and can break you!

  • Chasing money isn't really a great purpose.

  • You see, the moment you earn enough to keep all the bill collectors away from your door,

  • travel to all the places you have always imagined and bought that fancy car.

  • You lose your purpose to earn more, but the reality is, you didn't have much purpose in

  • To avoid falling into depression, we need to be valuable members of society.

  • And that perfectly aligns with creating wealth.

  • I don't have to lecture you on the fact that the more value you bring to the society, the

  • more money you would probably be making and eventually more wealth you will be able to

  • build.

  • Every morning you wake up, the goal should be taking the best out of the day, doing your

  • best to move one tiny step higher.

  • At the end of the day, what is success?

  • Nothing but many small good decisions are taken over a long period of time.

  • It doesn't matter what path you have chosen to get rich, if you focus on doing your best

  • every day, you will get closer to that goal.

  • Eventually, those small little achievements that mean nothing in the short run will turn

  • into one big giant leap.

  • Don't focus on the long run, you might not live to see it.

  • Focus just on today, on how much you can get done today.

  • This simple habit will have the greatest impact on your results.
