How To Get Rich Starting From $0 Part 1

is it really possible to go from zero to 41 plus million dollars? Is that really possible from zero to 41? So in this video, I want to talk to you about how to go from zero to rich. Zero. So, and to breakfast, I'm going to be like really really transparent and share some of my pain and some of my shame. Because 10 years ago, I was broke. I didn't have zero, 10 years ago. I had less than zero. I was living on borrowed money. I have a good friend who I'm going to be doing an event with in Dallas, Texas, tomorrow and Saturday. He loaned me $4,000 a month, all of 2013, all of 2014, while I was figuring out how to get back on my feet after getting the absolute wind knocked out of me. And from 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024 so far as the last night, it doesn't include the money that came in today. Okay. We generated. I got to put my glasses on so I can see this number. I don't know what I do with them. Okay. So, this is how much, this is how much we generate. 2021, 2021, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 so far as the last night, not included in the money it came in since I went to bed last night. $41,375 and $441 million, sorry, $41,375,946. 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 so far as the last night. Now, how in the world did we do that? I'm going to read a verse to you and then I'm going to extrapolate. I did a whole Bible study on this verse before but I mean this is going to be different. Okay. And here's the verse. It says in Deuteronomy and you already know the verse but I want to show you some of this really mind-blowing. It says, Deuteronomy 18, it says, but thou shall remember the Lord like God for it is he that give it the power to get wealth. That is he that establishes, I'm sorry, that he may establishes covenant with which he swear unto thy fathers as it is this day. So, first thing I'll be sorry I'm going to get, let me read a couple more, verse 19. And it shall be if thou do at all forget the Lord thy God. If you forget the Lord thy God and walk after other gods and serve in worship them, I testify among you this day that you shall all perish. Okay. Now, what does it say in verse 17 and down, um, he's warning them of verse 17, don't say this. And when thou say in thy heart my power and the might of mine hand have gotten me this well, thou shall remember that the Lord thy God for it is he that give it to you. So, so, God is warning them about making the mistake of thinking that they did this. I get it, you did some of it, you did the part you could do. See, like you saw something and then you did something about what you saw, right? But you know how to make yourself look what you don't not make yourself see. So, God gave you the power to see the thing that you looked at. You know how to make yourself walk, but you don't not make your legs work. So, God gave you the power to do the walking. You know how to make your hands hold, like you know how to hold something, but you know how to make your hands hold, right? You know how to hold something, I don't know how to make my hands hold. There are people whose hands don't hold. And so, God gave me the power to hold and you gave me the power to walk and you gave me the power to see and you gave me the power to think. So, even if you did even if you built a business and you built a successful business, you generate lots of leads, you generate lots of revenue, you generate lots of profit, and you built a multi-million dollar business. Here's the reality. You didn't do it by yourself because a whole bunch of stuff you did, you couldn't have done unless the Lord gave you the power to get that well. So, I'm going to tell you something about wealth. I'm going to tell you a couple things about wealth people don't know and then I'm going to give you, I'm going to show you, I'm going to break down this power to get wealth into its sub-components. Okay. First thing we're going to say is this. wealth is, in fact, I'm going to write in a board. wealth is high energy result. So, so, wealth is a high energy result because everything is energy and energy is needed to create and destroy it just changes form. So, wealth is a high energy result. So, if you're going to create wealth, you have to operate from a place of high energy. What kind of energy everybody? Talk to me. Talk to me. High energy. Okay. So, so, which means, which, so, there's a physical principle. There's the physical principle says. No high energy result will overflow to a low energy source. By the way, by the way, it's interesting to say, it's, you sure remember that the Lord gives you the power to get wealth? Well, what is power? Power is energy. Like, some people call like electricity. They call it the power company. The electric company called the power company. Some people call it energy, right? But the same thing. So, it's the Lord gives you the power. It's the Lord gives you the energy. wealth is a high energy result. No high energy result will ever flow to a low energy source. That's why every, that's why you have to become hyper-intentional about everything that you say because the words that you speak have energy. And that energy is telling the world something about you, whether you match what they are looking for. So, wealth is high energy result. No, no. So, like, you take a 747, like a 747 jumbo jet. It holds, I think, 419 people, which is a lot of people in airplane, right? It's like a small town. And, fully loaded, fully loaded, a 747 weighs 986,000 pounds. Now, that doesn't seem like the first, like when you see 987,000 pounds, the first thing you think is not, you know what? I think what I'll do is I'll make this, I'll get to see if I can get this 986,000 pounds, 5 miles in the sky and see if I can get it moving about 500 miles an hour. Right? That's not the thought that comes your head. But when you see a 747, it always has 4 engines, has 2 on each wing. Those engines are not lawnmower engines. They are not 4 cylinder, hybrid pre-ass engines. They're not even Rolls-Royce W12 combustion engines. They are very, very powerful jet engines. In fact, 747s are so overpowered. If they lose 3 engines, the plane can still fly with 1. It won't fly straight. But that's why they have 4 engines. It's quadruple redundancy, right? And so, so you say, my own, what's your point? My point is, if you desire, well, which is a high energy result, then you must become a source of what? High energy. You're talking to anybody, a source of what? You have to become a source of high energy. So you have to become a source of high energy. And when you become a source of high energy, then high energy things will start to be flowing towards you. But if you're a source of low energy, then you will only only low energy things will flow towards you. And then something that sounds new, 8. First of all, first of all, truth, but all truth belongs to God. And part of the problem with new age ideology is they want to use the truth that belongs to God without giving the credit to the God that owns the truth. So if it's true, it's true, it doesn't matter who believes it. If something's true, it doesn't matter somebody's new age or old age believes it. It doesn't matter. Because truth is true, right? Okay, so so the other thing that I want to bring to your attention about wealth, other than being a high energy result, which means you have to start right now today being a source of high energy. When people ask you how you're doing, stop saying fine, fine, stop saying above the dirt. Right? How you doing? I'm survive and you're broke. All of those are broke answers. By the way, you're, I am not, there's no, there's no intended humor and anything I'm saying. Wow. Wow. There's no intended humor and anything I'm saying. I'm a, I'm a serious, as I can be. Like it's, it's like you being above the dirt is costing you a fortune. Why? Because nobody wants to be around that. Right? Nobody wants to buy anything from that. I'm above the dirt. I'm survive and I'm still living. No duh. That was the first thing I noticed before I spoke to you. If you were sitting up there all gray and peeking, right? Eyes all glazed over. I would have said, hey, how you doing? I just called 911. Right? How you doing? I'm alive. No, think. Right? Okay. You say, man, what's your point? My point is you're doing it to yourself. The path is smooth. Why do you throw stones before you? I went, went to the bank yesterday because I had to do some bank stuff and that's the young man. Yum, dude. Young, strong. Has a job. Which means he's making money. I said, how you doing, young man? You know. Actually, I don't that why I ask you how you doing. Because I don't know. I didn't say that, but I said, you know what? Like, I'm not 100% a day. I'm going to let you get away with that. Okay. So, so wealth is a high energy result. The second thing I want to bring to your attention about wealth that maybe nobody ever brought to your attention, wealth, this is going to break, this is going to break somebody's brain. Well, wealth is measured. Well, wealth is measured more in time than it is in money. Well, this measure more in time than money. Now, when you get this, this will change your focus. Okay? Well, this measure more in time than it is in money. What does that mean? Okay. So, let's say you make a million dollars. Are you rich? It depends. See, you've been paying attention. It depends. It depends. You make a million dollars, are you rich? It depends. What's it depend on? How long did it take you to make it? If you make 25,000 dollars a year. And there are people who make 25,000 dollars a year. And you work for 40 years, you've made a million dollars. Over that 40 year time period. This is 40 years. So, let me ask you a question. Are you rich? No. Okay? So, you work 40 years, you've made a million dollars, but you're not rich. But let's say you make that same million dollars. You make the same amount of money in one year. Now are you rich? Yes. You're 40 times richer than this person, even though you both made the same amount of money. Oh, did you get that? You're 40 times rich. What if you make, what if you make a million dollars a month? Now, you're 480 times richer than this dude. Do you want to be this guy? Or do you want to be this guy? Or girl? Like, who do you want to be? Like, and see, here's, so I am telling you as a person who has been blessed to create a level of wealth. I'm not Bill Gates rich by any stretch of the imagination, but we're, we're doing all right. I am telling you that creating wealth has a need for speed. Now, here's why that's a, that's been a problem for you because you've been warned. You've been warned your whole life about what? Get rich quick schemes. Beware of the get rich quick schemes, right? You gotta beware of that, right? Okay. Now, the word scheme means plan, so beware of plans that could get your rich quick. Okay. So, because a scheme is a scheme is a schematic, which means a plan. So beware of the get rich quick scheme. So beware of the get rich and the plan to get rich quick. I get it. Everybody who has a business opportunity is going to get your rich quick. I get it. It's not like, the Bible gives some warnings about being in too big a hurry to make money. I get that. I don't have time to teach what those mean today. I will. At some point, but not today. Okay. But here's, here's part of your problem. You've been warned your whole life about get rich quick schemes, but nobody warned you about the state broke for the rest of your life scheme. So you opted into the one you haven't been warned about. Am I telling us you? And so what we have to do is we have to figure out, okay, is this how I desire to live my life? Do I desire to live my life in such a way that I'm going to be live on the struggle bus my whole life? When it's totally unnecessary because there are people in the world. Hey, watch this now. There are people in the world who's problems you can solve right now. You have to wait. You don't have to go back to school to be able to solve the problems. You don't have to go take a class. You don't have to get a certification. You just don't have to solve the problem. Why? Because you went through the problem and you solved it. And now you can solve theirs. But, well, I don't, I don't want to make too much money too fast. I got slow this thing down. It's going too fast. How many on track? And by the way, I know for a fact that when you get to the place and you start making some relatively decent money, you know 20, 30, 40, 50,000 dollars a month. You start feeling, I'm going to tell you, I'm going to tell you what happened to me. Maybe you won't happen to you. But you start having a little bit of guilt because now you have choices. And you have choices that the other people around you and your life don't have. And you can decide what time you want to get up instead of having somebody else decide that for you. And you can decide where to take a vacation and where you want to go and how long you want to stay. Say, have somebody decide that for you. And you can decide what neighborhood you live in. And what car you drive? And now it's in you have all these choices. But everybody around you is still like, you're like, you want to go to the golf course. You call somebody, hey, you want to go play golf? No, man, I got to go to work, man, what are you talking about? Go, it's middle of week. What are you doing? How you know? And you're like, oh, yeah, I forgot. And so creating a level of wealth eliminates certain constraints that you have on you right now. But the people that you love a lot of those people that you love and like are still going to have some of those constraints. And it's going to make you feel like, well, I'm not really better than them and you're not. And so what happens is maybe you'll do like I did in the beginning, you'll just start giving money away randomly just because you're like, well, I didn't really work that hard to make this. And it came in really, really fast. And so maybe I'll just give it away. I'm just keeping it, I'm keeping it real. Because this was me, right? Okay, so, so, so, did I, you, when you understand that wealth has a need for speed, the reason I think those two breakthroughs, number one wealth is a high energy result, so that you become a source of high energy. You become a source of high energy at home, you become a source of high energy at work, you become a source of high energy around your friends, you become a source of high energy around your family, you become a source of high energy around low energy people, even though it makes them feel uncomfortable. And they're going to attempt to make you feel guilty for being a source of high energy. I want somebody ask you how you're doing. And you say, man, I'm doing so good. If I have doing any better, I have to be 10 or 12 people just so I can stand it. And I'm going to look at you like, I'm from here, right? How you doing? I'm utterly fantastic. Better than I'm talking to you. People who look at you like your strains, they'll laugh at you. But if you say something ridiculously depressing, everybody will act like it's normal. Test it. Test it. Right? So, all of that, to say this, how can we create, how can we use this power that God has given us to get well, to go out and get the love? Well, before I tell you that, let me show you some stories in the Bible of some people who when they got rich, it didn't take forever. So, like 2000, 2014, 10 years ago I was broke. Hey, 10 years ago, I was broke or then broke. 10 years ago, everybody say 10 years. 10 years ago, I was sitting on my patio in my rented house because they couldn't buy one because my credit was too bad. And the only reason I was able to win a house is because I put down first and last month's rent and security deposit. That's how bad my credit was. My credit was like a five something. 10 years ago. And the thing was like five or 30 something. It was really bad. I had just gone through like a short sale and a repo. It wasn't really a repo, it was more of a repo. And my car got me possessed. He said, what's me possessed? So, a repossess when they come get it from you, me possesses when you just take it back to them. We're going to bring this car, right? Okay. I'm keeping it real. It was not a fun time in my life. I can laugh about it now, but I wasn't laughing about it. I was literally like a little baby, right, crying. Why am I telling you this? Because 10 years is going to go by, whether you get rich or not. The next 10 years is going to go by. What are you going to do with it? Well, let me just show you a couple stories really quickly. I'm not going to show you all of them. I'm just going to show you a couple. Here's what it says. It says in Genesis chapter 12. Now, the Lord had sent into Abraham, get the out of thy country and from thy country and from thy father's house and to a land that I was show thee. And I will make of the great nation. I will bless the, I will bless thee and make thy name great. And I shall be a blessing. And I will bless them to bless thee and curse him to curse thee. And in these shall all the families of the earth be blessed. So, Abraham departed as the Lord had spoken unto him and lot went with him. And Abraham was 70 and five years old when he departed out of Abraham. Okay, so cool. Then we're going to go here next chapter, chapter 13, verse 1. And Abraham went up out of Egypt. He and his wife and all that he had and lot with him into the south. And Abraham was very rich in cattle and so wringled. Wow. God called him. He yielded to the call. The next chapter tells he was rich. Now, I don't have any magic blessings for you. I'm not going to tell you if you sow seed into my life, God's going to make you rich. I'm not going to tell you that all of you do certain, no, here's what I'm going to tell you. If you apply wealth principles, they're not going to stop working just because you applied them. Are you all tracking? Like, wealth principle? Oh, no, it's mine. I'm not going to work for him. I work for Tim, but not for mine. Well, principles don't care. Principles are God's automation. God set up principles so they they would do what they do without him having to use any of his effort. How many on track can say yes? Okay, so here's another one of my favorites. First King's chapter number three. This is Paul, so I want you noticed the wording too? Notice the wording. You put me on this earth to do and the way that pleases you and serves the people we put me here to serve. And then it says verse 10, first King's three-10. First king's chapter 3 verse 10 and the speech pleases the Lord that Solomon had asked this thing and God said unto him because thou has asked this thing and has not asked long life, asked for thyself, long life, neither has thou asked riches for thyself. Nor has thou asked for thyself, but it's asked for thyself understanding to discern judgment. Behold, I've done according to that word. Not I will do. I have done according to your word. I have done according to your word. I've done it. I've done according to your word. And to your words, low, I have given thee a wise and understanding heart so there was none like thee before thee neither, after thee shall any arise like unto thee. And I have also, I have also, I have also, not I'm going to. I have also given thee, that was thou as not asked, both riches and honor. So there shall not be any among the kings like unto thee all thee. He said, because you ask for understanding to discern judgment, I've already given you so much wealth that there's no kings like you after you neither shall any arise like, none before you, none will arise like you after you. That's some serious power to get wealth. So what is this power? So now I'm going to break it down. You already? We're going to go from, how did my ring golden go from being broke as a joke and ready to choke, living on barred money 10 years ago? How did he go from, how did he go from the last, in the last 4, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2021, 2022, 2023 and half a 24 and the last 4 and a half years, 41 million dollars in revenue. How's that even? Does that sound unnatural to anybody besides me or is it just me? Sounds pretty unnatural, right? I'm going to show you. So here's what I realized. Okay, what are the things, the awarenesses and the intentions that I received from God that resulted in this massive rapid wealth creation events? Experience, not events, okay? None. The power to get wealth is number one, it is the power of pain, PAIN, I mean PAIN, pain. I added the E just in case any, but there's anybody here whose last name is PAIN, okay? No, I don't know why I added the E. So the power of pain is part of the power to get wealth, huh? What does that even mean, okay? One of the reasons people don't get wealthy is because they don't have to. They are so comfortable, where they are right now, and they've been so comfortable they're whole lives. They don't have enough pain to move them off of square one. Like, yeah, am I right? Yeah, being wealthy would be nice, but that's not necessary because I'm already I. I've said this before I'll say it again. One of the biggest things that keeps people from a quarter of a million dollars a year is a half a million dollars a year. I mean, it's 100,000 dollars a year. You get to 100,000, and here's what you are. You're a hundred thousand dollar baller, a little bit, but you think you're a big big. I'm not making fun of you, but I was that guy, then you get, okay, you get to a quarter of a million, you know, a quarter of a million dollars is about a little over 20,000 a month, right? So like when I say a quarter of a million dollars, let's think about it like we make money, right? A little over, that's like, that's like 5,000 a week, 5,000 a week, 5,000 a week. Imagine taking home 5,000 a week, you're having you all, honestly, if you're taking home 5,000 a week, you feel like a baller, come on now, I felt like a baller when I was taking home 5,000 a week, and I'm like, I'm a baller. Little B, baby, little B, that's a little B, that ain't a big B, 30,000 a month, 30,000 a month is 360,000 a year. You didn't show enough, you feel like a baller, I can remember, and it was, I don't generally get embarrassed, but I was a little embarrassed for about a half a second, before I got enlightened. I was at a Robert G, Alan, and well-threatry, and he asked for testimonials, and I had a testimonial. Robert G, I have been listening to your material and reading your material for years. I used to be a trash man, making $6,25 an hour, now I'm a cash man, I make six figures a month, I'm making like 30,000, I wasn't making 30,000 a month, I'm making 30,000 a month. I lived like a king, you know what he said? That was my testimony. You know what he said? He's like, wow, you're about to have a breakthrough to the really big money, and there were 700 people there, and my first thought was, did he just dismount 30,000 a month in front of 700 people? Like, no, I'm serious, I was a little, I was a little, I was taking back, I was the richest person I knew, till I got in that room, I was the richest, but I was one of them, I knew a couple of people were interested in me, but I was one of them, I was a baller, little me, thought I was a big bee, because when you were a baller, little me, and there you know, other baller, little me, you feel like, you know, in the land of the blind, the one I managed came, and so he said that to me, and first I was a little irritated, I was a little embarrassed, I was a little taken back, and then I was sitting and hitting me, wait, there's a level of wealth where 30,000 a month is not any money, there's a level of wealth, I want you to think about 30,000, you got to understand, I've never had a job where I made more than 30,000 dollars a year in my life, ever, so I'm making more at month than I used to make a year, and I'm still a baller with a little bee, and I asked Bob Allen, he's Bob Allen baller with a big bee, he said, no, you've got to break food, I'm like, I thought I already broke food, and you tell me, I ain't even, I ain't even in the neighborhood yet, right, so sometimes we have to get around somebody with a different perspective with a deeper awareness so that we can be enlightened so we can see what they can show us what they've seen so we can see more than we've seen, y'all tracking, and so, and so, okay, I'm like, by the way, that was a transformational moment for me in my life, so some of you all just don't have enough pain in your life, see, I had so much pain, like I knew what no felt like, I knew what it felt like when life told you no, like I knew what it was like for people to make fun of you because you were poor, even before I realized I was poor, right, okay, so, hey, the power of pain, it's like Damon John's book, Damon John wrote a book called The Power of Broke, has anybody read that book, that book will change your life, you know why, because it'll make you realize that you didn't take money to make money, takes awareness and some intention and some decisions, anyway, so the power of pain, the pain of reality, life doesn't always give you what you desire, how many I'll pick it up what I'm putting down, you know, sometimes life is hard, and so the reality of the reality of the fact that this is real, when my wife was eight months pregnant with our first child, our water and our electricity were both disconnected at the same time, as a man, that was painful for me, when my first child was born, I was on welfare for four months, and I remember the welfare office person saying to my wife, while I'm in the room, like I'm just a spot on the wall, oh, we could give you more money if he wasn't in the house, that was pain, see, you haven't had that pain, you haven't had enough pain in your life to create enough spark to go create, well, okay, the pain of reality, the pain of relationships, you know what's really awesome about God, I remember when I was reading the story about Shadraak Mishak and Abednego in Daniel chapter three, and Nebuchadnezzar said, he said, if y'all, I'm going to give you another chance to bow down to this idol of me, but if you don't, he said, I'm going to heat the furnace seven times, hotter than it's ever been heated, I'm going to kill you seven times dead or anybody's ever been killed. I mean, like their response that I am bow down to your idol made this man lose his man. I'm going to kill you seven times dead, like if you're going to throw him in a fire, pretty much the degrees of heat of a fire, the lowest or the hottest is going to kill you, unless unless you're dealing with God fire, because you know in the Bible there's three different kinds of fire, there's the fire that burns, that's the kind that he lied you called down from heaven and consume the captain in his 50, there's the fire that don't burn, that's the fire that talked to Moses from the burning bush, but the bush was not consumed. And then there's the most unique fire in the Bible. I call it the fire that burns some folk and don't burn other folk. That's from Daniel chapter three, where the most mighty men who were in Nebuchadnezzar's army, three Shadrack meatjacket, and a bed to go in the fire, and the fire was so hot, it killed the men that threw them in, but they fell down, bound in the midst of the fire and it only burned off their ropes. What? You say, man, what's your point? They said, our God whom we serve is able and he will. I love about God, something we find in God that we don't find in any other person's world, in many other people. He's both able and willing. See, you got a lot of focus in your life who are willing to help you when you need, but they just they'd able. You might know a couple of people in your life who are able, but they don't like you that much. They just they will. But in God, we find both willing and able, and so the pain of relationships is relationships are hard because other people aren't you, right? You don't know how hard it's going to be for you to control somebody else? Think about how hard it is for you to control you. All right, I rest my case. Defense rest your honor. So, the pain of rejection for me, the pain of rejection, was a great pain in my life growing up because I had this bracelet on my leg, and I couldn't run, so I just got picked last when we were playing games. Not with my brothers, I didn't, because they had compassion, but I knew if they didn't pick me last, they weren't picking me last just so they wouldn't pick me last, right? Nobody wanted me running a touchdown. Why? You can't run, you ain't running a touchdown. I don't know why don't you run, you ain't running. Anyway, like the pain, sometimes you need to have the pain of rejection so that you can go do something that causes you to accept yourself, even though other people rejected you. And then it's like, yeah, accept me and reject me, I'm, I'm mostly good tonight, regardless, right? So you don't have enough pains, okay? So the power to get wealth is the power of pain, but also, and I think this one's even more important, it's a power of purpose. If you're going to get rich, you're going to find your wealth in the arena of purpose. And purpose is the thing you were made for, like you were created for a specific purpose to serve a specific group and kind of people to a specific end. And God has equipped you uniquely to do your thing. And I was watching this video this morning, Alex Ramos, you're talking about this girl that built a million dollar business with 5,800 Instagram followers, but it was very niche. She taught registered dietitians how to build insurance companies, million dollar business, million dollars in profit, like, okay, you don't want me teaching registered dietitians that. Right, it sounds funny, but here's what we do. We see somebody else making money, doing something, and we say, I'm going to do what they're doing because it makes money, but it's not your purpose. And so if it's just because it's profitable for somebody else, it doesn't mean it's going to be profitable for you if it's not your purpose. So I am generally very coachable until the point where I become not coachable. And usually when I become not coachable, it's highly intentional because I know it's not my purpose. That's me. I'm not making an excuse, I'm just telling you. So I joined Russell Brunson's $50,000 a year in her circle back then it was $30,000 when I joined, not $50,000. And one of the things he kept saying over and over, you do a webinar a week every week for a year. And every time I got ready to do a webinar, I do it, and then make some money and I hate this guy. I'm going to take some. I hate doing webinars. I hate him. I hate him. I don't hate going. I don't hate attending them. I hate doing them. I don't like creating PowerPoint presentations. I hate that. I don't like talking to a bunch of people I can't see. I hate that. So it's so interesting how God has to put you in a place sometime to discover your work. But I'm not doing a webinar every week. I'm not doing it. I'm not doing it. Why? I don't like it. And I know that some, so you say, well, does that matter, right? It doesn't matter most, but it doesn't matter some. You have to build your business in a way that it serves you at the highest level. So it gives you the energy and bandwidth to serve your clients at the highest level. If you're doing something that you hate to do, how long will you really do it? Will you persist when it gets difficult? Well, when it becomes difficult. Will you persist when it seems like it's not working for you and it's only working on you? You won't if you don't like it. Like, I don't like doing webinars. Guess what I still don't do this day. I don't do webinars. Why? If I do a webinar, it would be more of a Zoom meeting. I like Zoom meetings because I can see people's faces. And I can tell if what I'm saying is making sense to more than just me. But if I'm talking to a computer screen, I'm saying type one in the chat. What does that mean? I like everything about it. I just don't like it. I know. I know. I'm not, I think webinars are great. I think they work very, very well. I know a lot of people made a portion to a webinar. I just don't like doing them. Why would I build a business where every day I've got it, or every week I've got to do something I hate just so I can make money? All good money ain't good. OK. OK. So you discover your purpose. How do you discover your purpose? Your purpose, you're going to find at this intersection. So you're going to find something that you're good at. This is your proficiency. So fish and sea. I think I spelled that right. Proficiency. That's your proficiency. What you're good at? And then, ax that did that wrong. So let me move this. I'm going to move this guy because I can. Not writing it again. OK. This is, I love a digital whiteboard, digital blackboard. OK. So this is your passion. This is the thing you love to do. This is your proficiency. This is the thing you're good at. So that's the arena of purpose. That is the arena of purpose. The place where your proficiency intersects with your passion. The light by self also in the Lord, and he shall give these desires in the heart. I used to think that meant, if I delight in God, then he's going to give me what my heart desires. But I'm a tiered to discover that when I delight in God, he gives me what to desire. And when he gives me what to desire, then he gives me what I desire because he desired me to desire in the first place. God is not in the habit of frustrating his children. If you being evil, not to give good gifts under your children, how much more share your Heavenly Father, give good things and then to ask him. So with that being the case, when I find my purpose, if I spend my time there. And so because I'd never saw anybody do this thing I do. So I didn't have, I didn't have something I'd look. Oh, I'm going to do it. They did. I can't do it. They did because I ain't them. And so I loved teaching the Bible. And I loved teaching business. I didn't know I could teach them both together until I started doing it. And people started saying, well, that's cool. Teach me more. I'm like, I get to do the thing I was made to. Like, I spent decades of my life studying the Bible. I spent decades of my life studying business. I did an Instagram live. I think it was Monday, Tuesday, Tuesday night, with David Mitchell and David and Charlotte Mitchell. And one of the things David said, he said, like David's administration, he said, I knew Aaron as a evangelist, but I didn't know he had been reading all these books on business and studying all this stuff about business. I love business. Why? It gave me the ability to fire my boss. I don't have any outfits that match a boss. So I didn't want to learn all these books, learn all this stuff, apply it, figure it out what worked for me. And then I said, you know what? There's this principle in the Bible that talks about that. There's this principle in the Bible that talks about it. I'm like, oh, it matches. And so I start talking about that. I didn't know there was a niche for that. And I just said, I am going to be authentically and uniquely me and let it open the doors and open and close the doors and closes and then I'll only be in rooms I desire to be in. I think about funnel hacking live, which was a conference. I met you there. I think it was 2018, wasn't Ryan. I met Ryan, funnel hacking live. I had a round table. And so I'm sitting at his round table. And I'm breaking down the principles that have become the boss moves book. And I'm breaking down these principles. And I think you said at my table the whole time, at least almost the whole time. Anyway, so I didn't know him. He didn't know me. And then he would go from Tampa. It was so odd and different. But anyway, so I'm teaching these principles and people gathered around. So Russell asked me to speak a part of hacking live. I don't know what up to teach. I don't teach them business principles based on the Bible. Why? I get it. There are people on YouTube right now who don't think. Why does the guy who's talking about the Bible? Because this is not the channel for you. And it's okay. I'm not mad at you. You know like the Bible, you're not like my channel. I'm not even fixing to change my channel for you. Because the people who like it, like it. And most of all, it's me. I like it. And like, I'm not, it's my channel. Okay, so let's make sure we understand each other. Okay. So the power of purpose. So the place where you're passionate, trust that what you're good at and what you like to do is part of your assignment. Trust that. Yeah. Yeah. Trust that there are already people out there in the world who would love to pay you to do the thing you love to do. Like, I mean, y'all were to offer mastery lobbying in last week. Okay, a bunch of y'all. Okay, could y'all, when I was teaching, could y'all tell, I was having fun? Like, I didn't even care for anybody. Like y'all was watching me have fun. Even if y'all weren't having fun. Why? Because this is what I live, I love this stuff. And I know something you think. But if you love it, why aren't you doing it again? I don't love the stuff leading up to it. But I, okay, keep it real, okay. So purpose, discover your purpose, discover it. Notice, notice, I didn't say, I didn't say go create your purpose. You were created for your purpose. Just fine, just discover it. How do you discover it? By embracing your proficiency, the things you're good at and embracing your passion. As long as neither of those are in conflict with truth, congratulations, you hit the sweet spot. Discover your purpose. Once you discover your purpose, now you have to develop yourself for that purpose. Now this is where the preparation comes in. Right? So I'm going to tell you the, like in real life, professionals make the lion's share of the money and amateurs just do it for fun. But professionals are, we think to have more fun. The professional are the amateur. Who's having more fun? The professional have more fun than amateurs, because they're doing the thing they love to do. And pay. But here's the difference between professionals and amateurs. Amateurs spend four to 10 times as much time for informing as they do preparing. Professional spend four to 10 times as much time preparing as they do for forming. That's why when they stand at your performance, it looks effortless because they put their effort in before they got in the arena. So you want your effort to show, like you want your proficiency to show up, and you have an impreverance. You thought you were ready before you were ready. Like I used to be frustrated, because I'm being honest with you. I've been, I've been teaching relatively similar stuff for almost four decades. Like when I was an evangelist, I taught a lot, a lot, same biblical principles I used to stuff I teach now. Not as many business principles, but when I was sure, but I didn't get invited to many churches. I was a senior pastor at a church. I taught similar stuff to the stuff I teach now, and I had people at a church who hated me. They hated me. The fact that the God woke me up today, they just couldn't understand why he would do that. They didn't like me. No, they just didn't, and I'm a kind person, but I'm not nice. What does that mean? Like I didn't pretend. I didn't go along to get along. I wasn't building a fan club. I'm just, I'm gonna teach the truth. Let it do what it does. Let it fall, work falls, right? Anyway. I used to lament the fact that I was, I seemed, even though I knew the stuff I was teaching was based on truth, and I knew I had studied it out thoroughly and completely. I couldn't understand why people rejected it. When I started teaching business concepts in churches, because I was what I was finding in the Bible, oh, it meant with so much resistance. I had a really good friend of mine, really good friend. He passed away, but really good friend of mine, a beautiful, beautiful man. He was a pastor of a church, and he said to me, I said, brother, man, do you mind when you come to our church, just don't teach that businessy stuff, just teach the Bible? Well, the businessy stuff is the Bible. That's the point. So I just never went back there. Not because I was mad at him. Like I'm not signing the banana, be one of the buns. I'm not gonna sound like everybody else, because I'm not everybody else, right? So you discover your purpose, you prepare yourself for your purpose, and then you deploy yourself in that purpose. And then the power of perception. You have to have the ability to perceive principles. If you can't perceive principles, like you look at something and you don't understand, oh, this is a principle. The law of sewing and reaping for instance is principle. You reap what you sell. And that's part of the law, right? Of sewing and reaping. But what else? You reap later than you sell, right? Because you don't sew the seed today and reap the harvest today. What else? You reap more than you sell. You sew one seed, you grow a whole crop. You grow a whole tree or a whole plant. So you reap what you sell, but you're later than you sell and you reap more than you sell. So the law, that's a principle. Like if you ignore that principle, you will do it to your own detriment. For instance, you tell a lie, because it's currently convenient. Are you tracking? But then when the people you lied to discover was a lie, you've destroyed trust in a moment that could take decades to rebuild. So your inability to perceive how life works is costing you a fortune. Your inability to perceive principles is costing you a fortune. There are wealth principles. Every word is a seed, every deed is a seed, every dollar is a seed that you're sewing into the garden of your future. That's a principle. Isn't it interesting that in order to do well at business, you have to do the thing that God told you to do. Love the Lord's regard with all your heart and all your soul and all your mind and love your neighbors yourself. What does that mean? You love God so much that you don't violate any of his principles when dealing with other people and you love other people so much that you never do them anything that would harm them, you never sell them anything that would harm them. You never do business with them in a way that would harm them because if you do, it's like harming yourself. If you ignore that principle, it's going to come back and bite you at a very inconvenient time. So you have to have the ability to perceive principles. You have to have the ability to perceive other people's problems. If you are a miserable person, and there are a lot of them in the world, the reason you are miserable is because you're self-absorbed, it's consumed with self, your self-ish. Because joy only comes from obsessing over other people's problems. You don't get any joy from obsessing over your problem. All you get is more depressed. I don't have to just sue depressed today, can't help it. No, you can help it. Go help somebody else. It's the same formula for creating love. What? In other words, my problem is, well, I need the money. Okay, good. Now, go solve somebody's problem who has some money, who needs that problem solve more than they need the money. Your problem is not that you don't have money. Your problem is that you've not obsessed over a big enough problem for a large enough group of people who has the money to pay to get it solved. That's your financial problem. So you have obsessed. Now, I want you wrap your mind around. Like, where did this 41 million dollars come from? It came from me obsessing over other people's problems. I've obsessed over their problems until I boil down the solution in business to four moves. Now, here's why it's four moves in not 40. If it were 40, I might only remember 38. If it were 40, I might not be able to do them all. But it's four. I can remember four, bless you. I can remember four. I can apply four, and guess what? Four is enough. I know there was a TV show called A to not. They were wrong. It's four. It's a not. So you have obsessed over, you have obsessed over other people's problems. You have obsessed over your, or you perceive other people's problems. You perceive print, the powerful principles. You perceive people's problems, and then you perceive their payoff. One of the reasons you can't sell is because you're too busy talking about your own stuff. Don't talk, like, I'm not gonna talk to you about my product. I'm not gonna talk to you about my piece, my product being, let's say my product is my book. We're gonna sell my book, if I'm gonna sell this book, I'm not gonna talk to you about the book. Because you don't care about the book. You only care what can this book do for you. So if I say, well, buy my book because it's really, really good, and I used to be a trash man, and now I'm the cash man, and so it's a really, really interesting story about my life. Two words come to your mind so fast, you can hardly block them out. So what? But if I say, this, in this book, I laid out the financial literacy principles that help me go for making $6 and 25 cents an hour. Full time with over time, over time was $9.50. Full time to making seven figures a month part time. And I have a principle here, I call the money management principle, a millionaires. If you only apply that one, the principle, just that one, you will never be broke again. Now, you've got a reason to wanna read that book. You see what I did? I didn't talk about the book, the book doesn't matter. The book is only a carrier for the transformation. So you obsess, you perceive other people, you perceive principles, you perceive people's problems, then you perceive their fail. And when you're talking to people, you only talk to them about what they get. Stop talking to them about what you have. Nobody cares what you have. They make sure what I have, it doesn't matter. Then we care what they get. So when I'm talking to you about what I have, I only need to talk to you about what it gets you. Everybody track and say I'm tracking me. Okay, cool. So I gotta go fast or do a part two, and I'm probably gonna have to do a part two. Yeah, I'm gonna have to do a part two. I'm gonna talk about one more thing, and then I've got four other points that I'm not gonna get to today. But I'm gonna talk about the power of precision. The power to get wealth is the power of precision. What does that mean? So the scripture says the race is not to the swift. Now the battle to the strong, need to get favorite of men of skill and reach a demand of understanding. It has one more thing it says, but time and chance happen to them all. Time and chance are not luck. Time and chance are the place, time is preparation. The place where preparation meets opportunity. Time and chance happen to them all. Look so. I'm gonna end on this story. This is where the 41,375,900 and whatever dollars came from. In the last four and a half years. 2011. Had a conversation with Dagan Smith. Dagan Smith is now and was then, back then he was one of the biggest internet marketers you could think of. He just, he made money hand or a fist. And he was uniquely digging. He still is. He's uniquely digging. Very brilliant guy. And he said to me, he said, Marin, you are better at presenting with a whiteboard than anybody I've ever seen. He said, you do it in rooms and people just throw money at you. He said, if you do it online, it'll still work. You should take what you do in rooms and do it online. I'm like, okay, cool, that's a good idea. So the rest of 2011, I proceeded not to do it. And then all of 2012 proceeded not to do it some more. In 13 and 14 and 15 and 16 and 17 and 18 and 19. And all of a sudden, precision, I'm coming back from Israel. I've got an event scheduled in Dallas, Texas with the same people. I've got an event scheduled with this weekend. I need to have a conversation with them. I just thought of something. Anyway, so the COVID propaganda demic, shut down all the hotels. And we had a hotel schedule, we had already sold tickets. We had maybe 150 tickets sold. They called me like, our events a week out. We can't have the media at the hotel. They canceled us. They canceled our contract. Should we give the people their money back or should we make it virtual and sell online? Oh, it's making it. Money back? Child, please. Let's make tickets virtual, sell more tickets. We sold 100 more tickets. We did $300 and something thousand dollars in sales. I'm like, we did $300 and something thousand dollars in sales will be internet. This is nine years now after day and Smith told me what to do. Did another event with my daughter? And it wasn't six fingers, but it was strong. Four fingers, probably $50, $60,000. I'm like, then in 2021, start doing my challenge. I'm like, this is a thing. Sometimes, you just have to be ready when you're in the right place. Because ready in the right place is what makes the right place, the right place, at the right time. See, it's the right, it's you being ready that makes the timing right. You've already been in the right place. So many times in your life, you couldn't count them if you had the opportunity. You just weren't ready, which made it not the right time. So next time, everybody say next time. Next time you find yourself in the right place, be ready and it will be the right time. And you can go from zero to rich. I still have other things I'm gonna teach you in part two. So next Thursday, next Thursday, I'm gonna do part two of this video. We're gonna pick up where I left off on the other. There's four more powers other than the ones I already covered. Then I'm gonna talk to you about, or not any well. In the meantime, in between time, stay blessed by the best. Go apply what we learned, which you learned so far, and we'll see you on the next video. Bye for now. Thank you. Questions I'm gonna be done, because we have a plan to catch.
