Warum 36 Monate Geduld über Erfolg entscheiden

0:00If you have less than $100,000 in savings and you would like to have $100,000 or more in savings, these are the things that I would recommend doing. And that means that you have to check out your ego. It's your ego's gone for this. All right, you don't care what other people think because they're not going to be there in 10 years. All right, because you have a whole new group of friends that are way [ __ ] better and cooler. So, one, stop eating out. Discount groceries only. That's if you're super poor. If, here's my caveat, if you know how to make money, you already have a base level of skills, then eating Chipotle and whatever whatever you can DoorDash it in so that you can keep working. The moment I realized I can make $500 every 30 minutes by selling, I was like, "Oh, I'm never buying I'm never cooking food or grocery shopping ever again." Anything that was less than $500 an hour was was now immediately outsourced, all right? But, this advice is for people who are super broke, okay? So, if you don't have the skill set yet at all and you're struggling to just get things going, then you need to be completely on the defensive so that you can have enough money so that you can start taking bets cuz the only way that you're going to get ahead is that you have to make bets. You got to make bets on education. You got to make bets on opportunities. You got to make bets on inventory. You got to make make bets on software. You want to start a Shopify store. You want to start a school community. You want to start something.

1:13It's still going to cost some money, right? You might have to buy a camera. You have to buy some software that helps you edit videos. Like, there's some expenses. All right? And so, having a big stock pile allows you to be patient. The The more money you have, the longer you out you can think because you don't have to worry about tomorrow. You know that next month and the month after and the month after taken care of cuz even if you made no money, you've got enough. That's how you can start thinking long-term. People are like, "Think think long-term. Think long-term." But like, unless if you have payroll and you've got or you've got rent or you've got you've got groceries to pay, you can't think long-term cuz you're in survival mode. And so, I'm trying to get survival to be as low as humanly possible for you so that you can get into thrive mode, but it's all relative. If you make 40 grand a month and spend 40 grand a month, you're going to be in the same survival mode. But if you make 40 grand a month and spend four, you're going to have you're going to have every month you make 10 months worth of income. And so, in 2 months you've got you've got 20 months saved up. You're good. And then you can get super aggressive that other 36 and start really betting to to double down. All right, so here's the very broke five six things that you can do to immediately spend way less. One, stop eating out discount groceries only. Two, stop buying new clothes go to Goodwill only. Three, only attend free friend events. All right, so think of what I just said. Think about all the events that friends will tell you to come to.

2:29Weddings, bachelor parties, uh birthdays, um just nights out because it's Thirsty Thursday, whatever. Only attend free friend events. And if they don't support your goals, they're not your friends. Think about that. If I said, "Hey, I've got this goal." And I said, "Hey, there's this human being and he wants to get you to not have the goal." Would you describe him as a friend or an enemy? Think about it. Some of you Some of the people in your life that you call friends are actually your enemies.

2:57You just don't know it. Now, four, take the rest of the time that you have to A, apply to jobs that make more than your current job. B, pick up side hustle work. C, learn skills that you can trade for a higher hourly rate than you currently do. When I say trade, I mean you make more per hour than what your current current skills pay you. All right? And then five, find the hardest worker in the room when you enter that new job or that new place and then double their level of input. So, if they knock on 100 doors, you knock on 200. They make 100 dials, you make 200 dials, right? When I had Jacob, my young neighbor, I gave him this exact advice. And he was expected to on his team do 100 dials a day, he did between 300 and 400. And so, guess what? He got better faster. And then once you follow all of those steps, this is what you need to do next. Wait 36 months. And this is what I mean by patient with your outputs, impatient with your inputs. And the crazy thing is that you can change your life in one decision. I can get drunk driving a car and change my life forever, right? It can happen like that. But it can happen just like that the other way. It's just that the outcome's delayed.

4:07That's the only difference. You can change your life today in this moment by making these decisions and and your life path will have veered. You will have changed direction. Your tree of of life will move. It's just that it takes time for that new direction to bear fruit. Whereas you can poison the fruit in a second. You can kill a tree real fast. >> [clears throat] >> You just can't grow one real fast. But it doesn't mean that if a seed's planted and you're watering it, it's not growing. It just takes a second to get above the surface. Real quick, if you're a business owner and you are not growing as fast as you'd like, I'd like to give you a free gift. So, my team and I put together the $100 million scaling road map, which is basically 200 hours of us looking over all the portfolio companies we've had and what stages of growth they went through and more importantly where they got stuck and how they got past it.

4:49And so we broke it into these 10 stages and we made this little kind of quiz thing where if you put in your business information, it'll tell you where you're at and the most important part for you, what to do for each of functions of the business across product, marketing, sales, customer success, recruiting, IT, human resources and finance. And so, no matter what you're struggling with, someone else has already struggled with it and solved it. And so I'd like to give you this thing absolutely free. You can go to acquisition.com/roadmap, plug in your business information and if you want us to actually help you deconstruct the business and you're trying to scale, we'd love to help you out. On the thank you page you can book a call with my team and we will look at the business, see if we can help and if we can, we'll invite you out to Vegas and we'll do this in person live.
