What industries are going away?
- Gas-powered cars (because of electric cars)

Now you need to combine this know-how with sales.
Sales means convincing other people to buy what you are selling.
It is a skill. You need to develop it if you want to make more money.

Most people do not get good at sales because they are scared of being rejected.
When someone tells you "no" it hurts.
Do not be afraid. They cannot hurt you by saying "no".

Do not be afraid. They cannot hurt you by saying "no".
The more times people tell you "no", the less it will bother you.
So practice. Ask a pretty girl or guy out. Ask another. And another.
Sell. Call people you do not know on the phone. Ask them to buy what you got.
Keep doing it until it stops hurting.
It will stop hurting.

To become successful in sales, you also need to understand what your customer wants.
Think about things from their viewpoint.
What would you want if you were them?
Asking this question is the other key to sales.

What were the top two skills you needed to go from broke to middle class?
1) Know-how in an industry that isn't going away
2) Sales
You need both. Why?
If you are an amazing programmer, you must sell your interviewer to get a job.
You must sell your boss for a raise.

If you are an amazing salesman, but you do not know your industry, you will not be able to sell to anyone who knows the industry.
Because they will know you do not know what you're talking about.

Let's talk about #3 basic math skills.
Math is scary for a lot of people because they are bad at it.
Anyone can learn basic math skills.
It just takes practice.

You need to be able to add, subtract, multiply, and divide.
And you need to be able to use decimals like 0.25, fractions like 1/4, and percentages like 25%.
Money is math.

Again, do not lie. It will hurt you later.

No video games.
It's a waste of your time.
Unless you are the best in the world at the game, no one will respect you for it.
Use that time to better yourself instead.
Read books, solve crossword puzzles, play chess, do sudoku, learn to code.
No video games.
Stop showing up late.
Here is how to do this.
Before you are supposed to be some place, check on a map app how long it will take to get there.
Then add 20%.
So if the app says 20 minutes, add 25% which is 5 minutes.
Leave your house 25 minutes before the meeting time.

We all have an urge to impress other people.
You need to ignore that until you get to $50,000.
When you get to there, you can start posting on Instagram.
Don't fake it until you make it.
Just make it.
Be patient.

If you get someone else pregnant, you will owe them alimony.
The mother of your child will take part of your income every single month.
It will be very difficult for you to get to middle class if you let this happen, so don't.
You can have kids later if you are a guy.

Stop lying altogether.
Do not lie to other people.
And do not lie to yourself.

You want other people to trust you.
People give chances to people that they trust.

Do not take any jobs or opportunities that are based on diversity or you being broke.
You are going to do everything the hard way.

Most charities are as much about the people who donate and run the charities as they are about the people they give money and opportunities to.
That money is like a drug.

You can succeed without it.

Credit cards charge big fees to give you money.
Buy everything with cash or a debit card instead (make sure you do not spend more than you have!).
Do not lease a car. Buy an old Japanese car in cash if you need a car. Get rides and use public transport until then.

College will not make you money today.
Even if you get a scholarship, that is 4 years that you will waste earning nothing.
College does not teach real world skills.
A diploma is just a way of showing employers that you are smart and came from a good background.

Everything else can be learned online for free or from books at the library.

Do not make investments until you have $50,000.
You do not know what you are doing yet.
Just focus on building your skills, learning to sell, math skills, and earning money at your job.
You can make investments later.

You just need to look clean right now.
