My journey from $0 to $1 Million

17 Lessons I Learned

//THREAD
1. Know you are high-value

High-value individuals have aspirations. They will work toward goals without letting anyone else get in the way.

When you have self-worth you will work harder to give yourself the life you deserve. It is expected.

Value yourself and feel worthy.
2. Always invest in yourself

The benefits of self-improvement last a lifetime. You will continually reap the rewards. When you begin to go down this path it will impact your rate-of-return in every avenue of life.

The knowledge you gain compounds.

Growth becomes exponential.
3. Believe in yourself

Building wealth is primarily a mental game.

Believing you can become wealthy is the first step. 

If you don’t have the belief that you can change your life, you never will. Behavior always follows beliefs.
4. Marry the right person

The person you marry is the biggest financial decision you make. The right person will lead to prosperity. The wrong person will lead to ruin.

Choose wisely.
5. Understand how taxes work

Understanding how taxes work in your country is the quickest/easiest way to generate wealth.

The Truth: taxes are complicated is to keep smart people at the top. Smart people are capable of exploiting loopholes.
6. Understand the real definition of wealth

Net worth = Assets - Liabilities

This is no other definition.

A wealthy person is someone that has a sustainable lifestyle. It can last for years through investments/ businesses that produce multiple income streams.

That's it.
7. Dream about your future life

Picture your ideal life down the road.

Imagine sitting on the beach.

You are running a social media empire while drinking margaritas. It’s possible.

Let your dreams for tomorrow be your motivation for today.
8. Avoid fiscally irresponsible people

Also known as the "Joneses"

They want to look wealthy, not be wealthy.

They seek wealth for status. They want to impress others because they are a slave to other peoples opinions.

It's better to not care what others think.
9. Have children

This is counterintuitive.

Thinking children are expensive (and not having them) is a terrible mindset.

It's also wrong. Having children will bring you energy.

When you have a child you will move mountains for them to ensure that they have a bright future.
10. Read the right books

These books will help you conquer your wallet

1 Think and Grow Rich - N Hill
2 The Automatic Millionaire - D Bach
3 Your Money or Your Life - V Robin
4 Rich Dad Poor Dad - Kiyosaki
5 The Millionaire Next Door - T Stanley

Good books = Good influence
11. Skip Starbucks Coffee

Many small BAD habits will make you poor.

Starbucks is also garbage coffee.

It's like eating at McDonald's (have some class).

Over 30 years the money you spent would be worth 300K.

It’s only one small habit and that’s not chump change.
12. Be Charitable

Become selfless, not selfish.

Giving to charity puts life into perspective. It gives meaning. There is a reason why you are building wealth.
13. Understand luck doesn’t exist

"Luck is when preparation meets opportunity." - Seneca

Everyone creates their own path and the most important ingredient is perseverance. What matters is that you work every single day on making your dreams a reality.
14. Embrace the Stoic Mindset

You will never have enough when you look at what you own. Society is built to leave you wanting more. It's a Trap.

Instead, compare yourself to those who are poorer.

Your lifestyle will seem a lot richer.

Wealth is all about perspective.
15. Enjoy Being Uncomfortable

Society wants to be comfortable.

Wealthy people enjoy taking risks.

Wealthy people are driven by uncertainty.

Uncertainty energizes them. Embrace it.
16. Embrace Optimism

Optimistic people live in the future.

Pessimistic people live in the past.

It is no coincidence that the wealthiest people I know are also the most optimistic.
17. One million is just a start

Most people make their first 1 million and become content.

This is a mistake.

This where life begins.

You now have some FU money.

This is when you make things happen.

The Art of Purpose

If you wish to find meaning in your life, read on.

//Thread
Most men never think about their purpose.

Most men are vapid and shallow.

They only care about fads and trends.

They follow a path defined by society.

Eat, sleep, wake up.

Rinse and repeat.

Thinking about life is too hard.

(This is why so many are depressed)
A life purpose is where life begins.

And a life mission is where you start.

Without a mission, others will direct the course of your life.

Trust me, these "other" people do not have your interests in mind.

The 25 Worst Pieces of Advice I've Seen

(and why)

// THREAD
1. “Follow your passion.”

NO - stop wasting your time. Make money.

Then you use your wealth to pursue your passion.

Build the foundation first.
2. “Choose career over family.”

I see so many slaving at their job and it’s usually a dead-end job. They pay little attention to their children. It’s sad.

If you have to choose one always choose family.

Rich people choose both.

17 Lessons from Elon Musk

//THREAD
1. Quality > Quantity

Surround yourself with the right people, not lots of wrong ones.

"Numbers will never compensate for talent. Two people who don't know something are no better than one. They tend to slow down progress." - Elon Musk.
2. Working hard improves your odds of success

If you want to achieve great things you need to be willing to work hard. There is no way around it.

"Even if you’re doing the same thing, you will achieve in four months what it takes them a year to achieve." - Elon Musk

Broke to One Million

A Seven-Year Journey in Seven Steps

My story will make you wealthy.

//THREAD Image
I grew up in a typical middle-class family.

Money was not an important topic.

I had to learn everything on my own. 

You may be in a similar situation.

If you do not have the tools to begin, you must educate yourself. Hopefully my story will inspire you. Image
Step 1: Educate Yourself

Here is a list of books that I personally recommend:

Think and Grow Rich
Rich Dad Poor Dad
Your Money or Your Life
Total Money Makeover
The Millionaire Next Door

In debt? Start with TTM.

If not read any of the others. Image

Seven Steps to Pay $0 a Year in Taxes.

LEGALLY

(Step 3 is so much fun)

//THREAD - 2021 Edition
WARNING

These are my personal experiences.
They apply to those living in the United States.

If you live in a socialist country, I suggest you leave.

Anyone can read this, but you will be unable to take full advantage. Countries have different tax codes.
STEP 1 - GET A JOB

You need to have a real job to take advantage.

Because without one, you will have no tax free money.

Level up your life to get there.

Make sure you get one with a 401K.

What to do even better?

Land a job with a 457. (more on this later)

Your thoughts determine your success.

Seven Mental Models That Will Make You Wealthy

=Thread=
Whether you like it or not,

you are the sum of your habits.

Successful people understand this.

They know that your habits define you.

They shape you in ways that you may not realize.

These are the 7 Metal Models I personally use to program my mind for financial success.
1. Expect Success

It all comes down to your expectations.

Wealthy people expect to be wealthy.

Unlucky people expect the opposite.

Do you really believe that one day you will be able to become wealthy? You should.

This is the first step.
