5 Stages to Getting Rich in 2026: Which One Are You? — Transcript

Full transcript

1. 0:00If you're young, ambitious, [music] and
2. 0:02tired of being lied to about money, this
3. 0:04video is for you. Here's the harsh
4. 0:06truth. Society wants you to accept a
5. 0:09normal life with average pay and maybe a
6. 0:12trip away every year if you're lucky. If
7. 0:14you want more than this, they shame you
8. 0:16into thinking that you're greedy.
9. 0:18However, what's really greedy is the
10. 0:20system keeping you stuck at the bottom
11. 0:22while the rich enjoy a life of freedom.
12. 0:24I always knew I wanted to become [music]
13. 0:26rich. So, in my early 20s, I quit my job
14. 0:29and within a few years managed to become
15. 0:31a multimillionaire. This means I know
16. 0:33exactly what it takes [music] to build
17. 0:34real wealth and continue to grow it over
18. 0:36the years. So, today's video is all
19. 0:38about my five-stage [music] process to
20. 0:40actually getting rich while you're still
21. 0:42young. Let's get into it.
22. 0:45The fastest way to get rich is drop
23. 0:47shipping. Or is it crypto? How about day
24. 0:51trading? That's the exact problem most
25. 0:53young people are facing. Everyone tells
26. 0:55you something different, which leaves
27. 0:57you frozen because you have so many
28. 0:58choices. And what if you end up picking
29. 1:01the wrong one? The thing is, life isn't
30. 1:03like school where there's only one
31. 1:04correct answer. There's actually
32. 1:06multiple right choices. But when you
33. 1:08don't pick one because you're too scared
34. 1:10of making a mistake, life picks it for
35. 1:13you. And if you let that happen, then
36. 1:15the system will make sure to keep you
37. 1:16broke. That's why the first stage is
38. 1:18called drifting. People stuck here just
39. 1:21float through life, letting things
40. 1:23happen to them instead of taking control
41. 1:25and steering their life in a direction
42. 1:27they want to go. They drift from one job
43. 1:29or side hustle to the next hoping that
44. 1:31one day they'll strike it big. There's a
45. 1:33famous quote that says, "If you aren't
46. 1:35building your own dream, then someone
47. 1:37else will hire you to build theirs."
48. 1:38This is exactly what happens when you're
49. 1:40stuck drifting. I mean, nobody's waking
50. 1:43up in the morning thinking, "How can I
51. 1:44make Jimmy rich?" The only person who
52. 1:47will ever put your success first is you.
53. 1:49So, I want you to be really honest with
54. 1:51yourself. Are you drifting? I meet so
55. 1:54many young people who say they want to
56. 1:55become rich, but their actions just
57. 1:57don't match their ambitions. They say
58. 1:59things like, "Money doesn't make you
59. 2:00happy." But this is just a lie the
60. 2:02richer fed the poor for decades. Money
61. 2:05equals freedom, and freedom equals
62. 2:07happiness. So, there's no shame in
63. 2:09striving for it. Mark my words, a
64. 2:11drifter won't build serious wealth for
65. 2:13themselves. They might get handouts or
66. 2:15win the lottery, but they'll never be
67. 2:17able to become rich on their own merit.
68. 2:19So, how can you avoid being a drifter?
69. 2:22That brings us on to
70. 2:24>> [music]
71. 2:26>> You can change your life in a moment
72. 2:28with just one decision. You just have to
73. 2:30choose to stop being pushed around by
74. 2:32life and instead become obsessed with
75. 2:34just one thing, getting rich. That's
76. 2:36exactly why stage two is called
77. 2:39obsession. Now, the outcome from that
78. 2:40decision may take a few months to
79. 2:42materialize, but it's that single choice
80. 2:45that can propel your life on a whole new
81. 2:47trajectory. If me suggesting that you
82. 2:49should obsess over becoming rich made
83. 2:51you cringe, then you need to change how
84. 2:53you think about money because there's
85. 2:54nothing shameful about wanting to be
86. 2:56rich. The truth is, having money allows
87. 2:58you to live life on your own terms and
88. 3:00avoid being controlled by others. But as
89. 3:02I said, the only way to achieve this is
90. 3:05with obsession. Now, lots of young
91. 3:07people I talk to think they want to be
92. 3:08rich more than anything else, but
93. 3:10actually they're just arrogant. They say
94. 3:13they want to become rich, but also learn
95. 3:15to play an instrument and run a marathon
96. 3:17and also at the same time become fluent
97. 3:20in another language. I mean, imagine
98. 3:22your friend tells you they want to
99. 3:23become a professional footballer, but
100. 3:25also do all of those things, too. You'd
101. 3:27probably laugh at them. Becoming a
102. 3:29footballer is hard enough, let alone
103. 3:31stacking all those things on top of it.
104. 3:33Becoming rich is something only a small
105. 3:35percentage of the population will ever
106. 3:37achieve. So, why do you think you can
107. 3:39get there whilst also pursuing 12 other
108. 3:41goals at the same time? I can tell you
109. 3:43from experience, if I didn't lock in and
110. 3:46only focus on becoming rich in my early
111. 3:48years, then I wouldn't be sitting here
112. 3:50as a multimillionaire today. But being
113. 3:51obsessed over becoming rich isn't enough
114. 3:54to get you there. You need to figure out
115. 3:56how you're actually going to make money.
116. 3:57>> [music]
117. 3:57>> That brings us on to
118. 4:01The truth is, you get paid in proportion
119. 4:03to the value you provide. And the reason
120. 4:05you aren't rich yet is because you lack
121. 4:07value. So, the question is, how can you
122. 4:09become more valuable? This is the part a
123. 4:12lot of people get stuck with. They think
124. 4:14they have to come up with some kind of
125. 4:15revolutionary business idea or find the
126. 4:18next crypto coin before it goes to the
127. 4:20moon. But you really don't have to be an
128. 4:22innovator. All you need to do is
129. 4:24discover something that's working right
130. 4:26now
131. 4:26>> [music]
132. 4:26>> for many people and ask yourself, how
133. 4:28can you do it, too? The fastest way to
134. 4:31master a money-making skill is to find
135. 4:33someone ahead of you and uncover their
136. 4:35proven pathway. Some great choices are
137. 4:37video editing, drop shipping, deal
138. 4:40negotiating, short-form content
139. 4:42creation, or starting an eBay store.
140. 4:45That's why stage three is called
141. 4:47discovery. When I was in my 20s and
142. 4:49thinking about opening my first
143. 4:50radio-controlled model shop, I didn't
144. 4:52just dive in and set one up anywhere. I
145. 4:55got myself a Saturday job in a local
146. 4:57model shop. It was great for earning
147. 4:58some extra cash, but the real value was
148. 5:01in discovering the exact proven pathway
149. 5:03to running a successful business. I was
150. 5:06like a sponge, always asking questions,
151. 5:08chatting with customers, and jotting
152. 5:10down anything useful. But even more
153. 5:12importantly, making a note of the things
154. 5:15holding them back. I even spent my
155. 5:16Sundays talking to modelers and
156. 5:18customers to find out what they wanted
157. 5:20from their local model shop. Now, I know
158. 5:22you probably don't want to open a model
159. 5:24shop, but the principle is exactly the
160. 5:26same when it comes to learning any
161. 5:28high-income skill. Find a person who's
162. 5:30already achieved what you want to do and
163. 5:32discover exactly how they became
164. 5:35successful. It's basically a cheat code.
165. 5:37You get a blueprint to skip their
166. 5:39mistakes and end up progressing even
167. 5:41faster than they did. This person
168. 5:43doesn't have to be famous. It's actually
169. 5:45better if they aren't as you know the
170. 5:47money they say they're making is coming
171. 5:49directly from their skills and not from
172. 5:51their personal brand. You can find them
173. 5:53in Discord communities, on Instagram,
174. 5:55and even at sports clubs. But how can
175. 5:57you get someone to reveal their proven
176. 5:59pathway? Now, I'm not going to lie to
177. 6:01you. Uncovering this is probably the
178. 6:03hardest part. That's why I've gone out
179. 6:05and done the discovery for you by
180. 6:07hand-selecting some very impressive
181. 6:09young people who are currently making
182. 6:11over $100,000 a year in profit and asked
183. 6:14them to reveal their proven pathways for
184. 6:16you to copy. They're all on my new
185. 6:18platform called The Wealth Portal, which
186. 6:20you can currently try out for free. Each
187. 6:22pathway is over 3 hours long and
188. 6:25condenses their many years of experience
189. 6:27into easy-to-follow step-by-step
190. 6:29lessons. I'm also in there every week
191. 6:31posting specific lessons about making
192. 6:34and investing money. I'll drop a link in
193. 6:36the description if you want to check it
194. 6:37out. For now, just pick a pathway to
195. 6:39follow. Once you've done that, it's time
196. 6:41to focus on closing the skill gap
197. 6:43between you and the person you're
198. 6:45copying. That brings us on to
199. 6:50Now, it's time to follow the proven
200. 6:51pathway you discovered and start making
201. 6:53money. This stage is called
202. 6:55acceleration. At this point, you need to
203. 6:58get in plenty of practice. So, just get
204. 7:00started even if you don't fully know
205. 7:02what you're doing yet. If you're
206. 7:03offering a service, do some free work to
207. 7:06get experience. If you're selling
208. 7:07products, launch your first Shopify
209. 7:09store. The results won't be amazing, and
210. 7:12that's fine. The truth is, before you
211. 7:14can be great at anything, you've got to
212. 7:16be willing to suck at it first. Now, if
213. 7:18you want to speed up your acceleration,
214. 7:20you need to get constant constructive
215. 7:22criticism. I mean, so many teens come up
216. 7:25to me and tell me they want to be a
217. 7:27YouTuber. They swear blind that they're
218. 7:29making amazing videos, but the algorithm
219. 7:31just isn't pushing their content. And
220. 7:33they think one shout-out from me will
221. 7:35blow their channels up. However, when I
222. 7:37take a look at their videos, I can see
223. 7:39they aren't anywhere near ready. So, why
224. 7:41do they think they are? Well, the people
225. 7:43they're asking for feedback from are
226. 7:45often family and friends. [music] These
227. 7:47are the worst people to get advice from
228. 7:49as firstly, they don't want to hurt your
229. 7:51feelings, and secondly, they also
230. 7:53probably don't know what to say as
231. 7:54they're not experienced enough to give
232. 7:56you useful advice. This leads to most
233. 7:58people not pivoting and changing their
234. 8:00approach when they're going down the
235. 8:01wrong path. There's a famous saying, "If
236. 8:04you do what you've always done, you'll
237. 8:05get what you've always got." That's why
238. 8:08learning a high-income skill isn't just
239. 8:10about putting in more hours of practice.
240. 8:12It's about getting good advice to help
241. 8:14spot the things holding you back. That's
242. 8:16exactly why you need more constructive
243. 8:18criticism from people outside your
244. 8:20bubble, which I understand can be hard
245. 8:22to find. That's why I spend a lot of
246. 8:24time running interactive live events and
247. 8:26answering your specific questions inside
248. 8:29The Wealth Portal, which as I mentioned,
249. 8:31you can currently try out for free. This
250. 8:33process of getting feedback then putting
251. 8:35your head down can be pretty brutal.
252. 8:37Most rich people look back on this
253. 8:39period of their life as their lonely
254. 8:40chapter. You'll start to feel
255. 8:42disconnected from your childhood friends
256. 8:44because, let's be honest, most of them
257. 8:46don't share the same ambitions as you.
258. 8:49But at the same time, you're not yet
259. 8:51successful enough to connect with the
260. 8:52people you look up to. So, it's this
261. 8:54strange middle ground, which can be very
262. 8:57lonely at times. My son went through
263. 8:58this when he left school. Instead of
264. 9:01going off to university, he decided to
265. 9:02start learning videography. He was so
266. 9:05focused on building up his side hustle
267. 9:07that he lost contact with many of his
268. 9:09old friends. For a good couple of years,
269. 9:11he grinded away on his own, putting in
270. 9:13the reps, staying self-aware, and slowly
271. 9:16refining by doubling down on what worked
272. 9:18and cutting out what didn't. Believe me,
273. 9:21it took a while before he was rich
274. 9:22enough to make friends with other
275. 9:23successful people. This lonely chapter
276. 9:26is where most people give up and slip
277. 9:28back into being average. And honestly, I
278. 9:31don't blame them. It takes a crazy
279. 9:33amount of dedication to push through
280. 9:35when you're on your own. So, if you've
281. 9:37outgrown old friends, but aren't rich
282. 9:39yet, who can you turn to for support?
283. 9:41Well, when I was growing my wealth, the
284. 9:43best friends I made were the ones
285. 9:45chasing success and leveling up at the
286. 9:47same time. Honestly, the motivation and
287. 9:50value you'll receive from the people in
288. 9:52the trenches with you, as well as those
289. 9:54one step ahead of you, is far more
290. 9:56valuable than the stuff you'll learn
291. 9:58from YouTube videos alone. That's why
292. 10:00I've put the community at the heart of
293. 10:02the Wealth Portal. I love seeing people
294. 10:04share their wins, helping each other
295. 10:06out, meeting up in real life, and having
296. 10:08a bit of a friendly competition for the
297. 10:10monthly prizes. But, even if you aren't
298. 10:12part of the Wealth Portal, there are
299. 10:14plenty of other communities that you can
300. 10:16join, and I'd really recommend doing
301. 10:18this so you don't have to do it all
302. 10:19alone. But, when you start making a lot
303. 10:22of money, where should you invest it?
304. 10:24That brings us on to
305. 10:27>> [music]
306. 10:28>> The truth is, the most valuable
307. 10:30investment you'll ever make isn't
308. 10:31stocks, crypto, or real estate. It's
309. 10:34you. You are the asset. You're the one
310. 10:37thing you'll hold for your entire life,
311. 10:39and the skills you develop compound just
312. 10:41like money does. This is the point where
313. 10:42your hard work starts paying off. That's
314. 10:45why stage five is called freedom. If
315. 10:48you've managed to follow a proven
316. 10:49pathway and master the skills involved
317. 10:51with making it work, then you'll have no
318. 10:53problem becoming rich. You'll be able to
319. 10:55buy whatever you want, work from
320. 10:57anywhere in the world, and never have to
321. 10:59answer to your boss ever again. I
322. 11:01remember getting to this point, and
323. 11:03trust me, there's no better feeling.
324. 11:05But, here's the thing, being rich
325. 11:07[music] and being wealthy are actually
326. 11:09two separate things. You see, when you
327. 11:11start earning a lot of money, you have
328. 11:13two choices. You can spend it all on the
329. 11:16things you want, like a flashy car,
330. 11:18designer clothes, and luxury vacations,
331. 11:21or on the other hand, you could reinvest
332. 11:23a decent percentage of that money while
333. 11:25you're still young, and build true
334. 11:27wealth. This is entirely up to you. At
335. 11:29this point, you've achieved financial
336. 11:31freedom and have enough money rolling
337. 11:33in. However, if you're aiming to impress
338. 11:35other people, I'd say this, wealthy
339. 11:38people like me will never be impressed
340. 11:39with someone young spending all their
341. 11:41money. We'll just look at you and be
342. 11:43disappointed as we know you could
343. 11:45achieve far more by reinvesting some of
344. 11:48it. So, how can you actually reinvest?
345. 11:50Well, when I was younger, I wasn't
346. 11:52satisfied with just one income stream. I
347. 11:54actually built multiple. This can be
348. 11:56passive investments like index funds,
349. 11:59cryptocurrency, and individual stocks,
350. 12:01or even better, additional skills that
351. 12:03can help you make more money. Most
352. 12:05people never make this shift because
353. 12:07they blow all their money on stupid
354. 12:09things. They'd happily spend a thousand
355. 12:11dollars on the latest iPhone, but won't
356. 12:13reinvest two hundred dollars into
357. 12:15themselves. And that's exactly why they
358. 12:17never reach true wealth. Just think
359. 12:19about it. Whatever you spend today on
360. 12:21meaningless crap, you're taking from
361. 12:24your future self. Wealthy people
362. 12:26reinvest in their skills, businesses,
363. 12:28and stocks to become more successful.
364. 12:30Poor people spend money to impress other
365. 12:32poor people. So, even when you have
366. 12:35freedom, still spend a couple of hours a
367. 12:37day learning, read books, watch YouTube
368. 12:39videos, and join communities. These
369. 12:42things have the highest return on
370. 12:43investment you'll ever get. If you want
371. 12:45to learn more about building wealth from
372. 12:47scratch, then I'm going to leave that
373. 12:48video right up there, but don't click on
374. 12:50it just yet. Make sure to subscribe if
375. 12:52you want to grow your wealth, okay? I'll
376. 12:54see you over there.
