- 0:00Life works in levels, and what has
- 0:03gotten you here, believe me, will not
- 0:06take you to where you truly want to go.
- 0:10You have surely advanced a little in
- 0:12your life, but for a long time, you
- 0:14have felt like you are still living
- 0:16with the same exhaustion, still with
- 0:19the same people. Nothing is truly
- 0:21changing. Your routine is the same and
- 0:24you want to advance, you want to reach
- 0:26the next level, but no matter how hard
- 0:28you work, it doesn't happen. That means
- 0:32you are stuck, and you are. Do you know
- 0:36why? Because you still haven't upgraded
- 0:38all those things you need to upgrade to
- 0:40take your life to the next level.
- 0:42Let’s take it one step at a time. The
- 0:44vast majority of people use money for
- 0:46superficial things. Buying clothes to
- 0:50please others, buying that car to get
- 0:52noticed, going to expensive restaurants
- 0:55to enjoy themselves. But the people who
- 0:59truly understand that life is like a
- 1:02video game with different missions, and
- 1:04understand that money is a fundamental
- 1:07tool to advance in it and level up, use
- 1:10money in a very different way. They use
- 1:14it to, one, reclaim their time and
- 1:15capitalize on it. And two, optimize
- 1:19their life. Every dollar you earn is
- 1:23like a little soldier, a little soldier
- 1:25that has a single mission: to be an
- 1:27enhancer of your effort to maximize
- 1:29what you get in return. That is to say,
- 1:32so that with less and less effort and
- 1:35time, you earn much, much more. And for
- 1:38that, and it's something I always do,
- 1:41every time you move up a level and your
- 1:43income increases, you must, one way or
- 1:45another, upgrade certain things that
- 1:47will push you in that progress toward
- 1:49the next level. So today, in this video
- 1:53, I am going to explain exactly the
- 1:55investments you must make to move to
- 1:57the next level, no matter what. I
- 2:00already have my coffee ready, so
- 2:04let’s go with the first one. Buy a
- 2:08hobby. In 1915, Winston Churchill was
- 2:12removed from the Admiralty due to the
- 2:14defeat at the Battle of Gallipoli, and
- 2:17he fell into one of the darkest periods
- 2:19of his life. And that man who had never
- 2:23painted ended up painting 500 canvases.
- 2:27And from there, Winston Churchill drew
- 2:29a wonderful conclusion. He said that
- 2:31when you are exhausted from work, that
- 2:34part of your mind that is tremendously
- 2:37tired doesn't recover by resting; it
- 2:39recovers by activating another part of
- 2:42your mind. For a long time, I didn't
- 2:45understand it. I worked and worked and
- 2:48worked endlessly, obsessed with the
- 2:51tasks I had to do and the goals we were
- 2:53pursuing, both individually and
- 2:56professionally as a team, and I felt
- 2:58that something in my life just wasn't
- 3:01flowing. So, after 10 years, I decided
- 3:04to pick up my tennis racket and sign up
- 3:07again. I had played tennis throughout
- 3:10my childhood, and despite training very
- 3:12hard, I always lost my matches because
- 3:14I lacked the confidence, the mindset
- 3:16that was needed. Over the years I have
- 3:19cultivated it, but I still hadn't been
- 3:20able to test it on the court. So I
- 3:23picked it back up, started competing,
- 3:25and the feeling was spectacular. During
- 3:28the time I was competing, wow,
- 3:30everything just faded away. Time would
- 3:33stop, I didn't think about work for a
- 3:35single moment, I won my matches, yes,
- 3:37and besides that, which was most
- 3:39important, it allowed me to work on
- 3:41other parts of my mind that released
- 3:44tension from the parts I used for work.
- 3:47Money is stored energy that must move
- 3:49one way or another; it cannot stagnate.
- 3:51Where? Toward things that bring you
- 3:54back to life. It is important here to
- 3:56remember the saying. You can never pour
- 3:59from an empty cup. So refill it, refill
- 4:02it with a hobby, with something that
- 4:04allows you to play. Two, buy an
- 4:07identity. The psychologist Erving
- 4:10Goffman discovered something that is
- 4:12chilling. Throughout our entire
- 4:16upbringing, especially in childhood,
- 4:18the people around us deposit beliefs
- 4:20into us about who we are. A character
- 4:23is created that little by little gets
- 4:25others used to seeing us in a certain
- 4:28way. The moment we decide to change,
- 4:30for example, to start our path of
- 4:32personal development, do you know what
- 4:33happens? That others, involuntarily,
- 4:37try to drag us back to the version of
- 4:39us they already knew. That is where the
- 4:42great tragedy happens. I lived through
- 4:45experiences and grew up in an
- 4:47environment that led to a lack of
- 4:49confidence, to introversion, to shyness
- 4:51, to a lack of energy, to
- 4:53procrastination. And of course, when I
- 4:56truly committed to changing, I found
- 4:58myself in an environment with people
- 5:00who were used to a version of me that I
- 5:01no longer recognized, that I no longer
- 5:03wanted to be. And there was the clash;
- 5:07I couldn't improve in the environment I
- 5:10was in. So that is what I did. I went
- 5:13to travel around Europe alone for 9
- 5:15months, staying in the homes of
- 5:17strangers. And you know, the most
- 5:20curious thing is that at that moment,
- 5:23at 17 years old, during that trip I was
- 5:26able to design the identity I truly
- 5:28wanted to be, the one that lived inside
- 5:31me, the one I was truly destined to be:
- 5:33confident, charismatic, secure,
- 5:36magnetic, without fear. You buy an
- 5:39object and get used to it, but a trip,
- 5:42a trip changes you forever because,
- 5:44number one, you meet people there and
- 5:46live experiences that will build
- 5:48memories you can later share. Then you
- 5:52will have a series of lessons that you
- 5:53will carry in your backpack for the
- 5:55rest of your life. But even better, and
- 5:59this is what I was saying, in those
- 6:00places where nobody knows you, you can
- 6:03decide who you really are, fill
- 6:04yourself with courage and valor, and
- 6:06see that another version of you, much
- 6:08more functional, much stronger,
- 6:10resilient, and capable, is possible.
- 6:14And that, believe me, cannot be bought
- 6:16with money. So this is my most intense
- 6:19recommendation for you. Invest in
- 6:22travel, in experiences that give you
- 6:25new stimuli and allow you to build the
- 6:28version of you that you really want to
- 6:31be. Five. Buy a mentor.
- 6:35>> All the most important moments of my
- 6:37life have been propelled by a mentor,
- 6:39by a person who has given me training
- 6:41and fundamental lessons to get where I
- 6:43wanted to go. It is a person who was
- 6:47already at the level where I wanted to
- 6:48be, who had already traveled the path I
- 6:50needed to travel. That makes your
- 6:54progress much more effective. Just
- 6:57recently, last week, I attended one of
- 6:59the most important training sessions on
- 7:02the planet in Los Angeles. I was in
- 7:05contact with the people who literally
- 7:07dominate the planet, who are deciding
- 7:09where humanity is headed. It was a
- 7:13tremendously large investment, yes, but
- 7:15all that exposure to their way of
- 7:18thinking, acting, deciding, and
- 7:20speaking, believe me, will make me move
- 7:23forward much faster. And that has been
- 7:26done for hundreds of years. For example
- 7:30, in France, there is the concept of "
- 7:32compagnonnage" from the Middle Ages;
- 7:34whoever wanted to master a trade didn't
- 7:36just study theory books, but spent
- 7:38years and years as an apprentice, from
- 7:40workshop to workshop, from master to
- 7:42master across different cities.
- 7:45Investing in mentors is a commitment
- 7:47you must have for life. You start with
- 7:51books, podcasts, and YouTube, but you
- 7:53must always move to the next level.
- 7:56Always. And something that happened at
- 7:59this event is that I was able to talk
- 8:01to Luca Ferrari. Luca Ferrari is the
- 8:04owner of Miro, StreamYard, WeTransfer,
- 8:07Evernote, and many other platforms. He
- 8:10has a net worth of 25 billion euros.
- 8:15And I spoke with him and asked, "What
- 8:16is the fundamental action you take
- 8:18every day to reach the next level?" Do
- 8:21you know what he told me? He said, "I
- 8:22spend the day, and if I do it, that day
- 8:25is successful." I spend my days
- 8:28persuading clients to invest in my
- 8:30company, raising capital, trying to
- 8:32sell my company, and giving
- 8:34presentations on my project and how
- 8:36important it is for humanity. In other
- 8:39words, one of the most important people
- 8:41in the world spends their day
- 8:42communicating. So, if you want to learn
- 8:46this skill, the skill of communication,
- 8:48the most important skill you can learn
- 8:50for your relationships, for your
- 8:52confidence, for your career, and also
- 8:54for generating wealth, I have a link in
- 8:56the description for a class where I
- 8:58will teach you the method we use at the
- 9:00Institute of Communication, through
- 9:02which more than 2,500 people have
- 9:04already passed, finishing their
- 9:05training with a European Union
- 9:07certificate. You can find it in the
- 9:10link in the description. Don't be
- 9:13stingy with what you use every day,
- 9:14because the poor keep getting poorer
- 9:16and the rich keep getting richer. Terry
- 9:19Pratchett has a chilling and very
- 9:21accurate explanation. He tells us that
- 9:24when a poor person wants to buy, for
- 9:26example, boots to keep their feet dry
- 9:28in the rain, they buy $ 10 boots of
- 9:30poor quality. Instead, a rich person
- 9:33prefers to make an investment, buying
- 9:34more expensive boots, for example, for
- 9:36$ 50. What happens is that the poor
- 9:39person will be changing their boots
- 9:41every year because they will break, and
- 9:43the rich person won't change theirs.
- 9:46Over the course of 10 years, the poor
- 9:48person will have changed them 10 times,
- 9:50and the rich person won't have changed
- 9:51them even once. The poor person ends up
- 9:55spending $ 100, and the worst part is
- 9:56they still get their feet wet in the
- 9:58rain, while the rich person has only
- 9:59spent $ 50. There is a series of
- 10:04objects that we use every day, which I
- 10:06call vital objects, that are often
- 10:08crucial, fundamental to our development
- 10:10, progress, and future. I am talking
- 10:14about objects like a mattress where you
- 10:16restore all your energy and spend a
- 10:18third of your life, a good suitcase, a
- 10:21computer, a pair of shoes, or the chair
- 10:23where you work; these are objects you
- 10:25cannot be stingy with, please. These
- 10:29are objects that your wealth production
- 10:31or your energy restoration, as in the
- 10:33case of the mattress, even depend on. I
- 10:36was always taught to save and to live a
- 10:39frugal and austere life, but that led
- 10:41me to things like buying suitcases at
- 10:43discount shops to travel the world,
- 10:46Europe, New York, Paris, only to have
- 10:48the wheel break or the zipper rip apart
- 10:51in the middle of the trip. And back
- 10:54then, it was an absolute nightmare,
- 10:56dragging my suitcase through every
- 10:58street and corner of the world,
- 11:00wrecking my back. It was a real ordeal.
- 11:04When I made my first bit of good money,
- 11:06what did I do? I bought a Rimowa; yes,
- 11:09it was a significant investment at
- 11:11first, but you have no idea the
- 11:12pleasure it gives me now every time I
- 11:14travel with it. And the best part of
- 11:17all is that it has a lifetime guarantee
- 11:20. If it breaks, they fix it. And that
- 11:22is exactly where the theory I just
- 11:24mentioned applies. And that must be
- 11:27applied to everything, to all those
- 11:29objects that are vital for your energy
- 11:32recovery, development, health, and
- 11:34wealth production. Please, don't skimp.
- 11:38Don't be stingy with vital items.
- 11:40Upgrade your wardrobe. Dress like the
- 11:43person you admire. I'm going to confess
- 11:44something to you. Every day, I dress in
- 11:47a suit, in a shirt, as if I were
- 11:49attending a meeting with one of the
- 11:51most important people in the world. I
- 11:55dress like the person who is living the
- 11:57life I desire, and there is a
- 11:58foundation for that. In 2012, at the
- 12:02Kellogg School of Management, they gave
- 12:04some students a white coat, telling
- 12:06them it was a doctor's, and others the
- 12:08same coat, telling them it was a
- 12:10painter's. The first group, those
- 12:12wearing the doctor's coat, you know
- 12:14what? They worked harder, focused for
- 12:17longer hours, and made fewer mistakes.
- 12:19Why? Because they associated that coat
- 12:23with a personality and were embodying
- 12:24it. I have repeated it many times: what
- 12:27you do in private is seen in public.
- 12:30Your readings are reflected in a
- 12:31conversation. Your habits are reflected
- 12:34in your character. Your discipline is
- 12:36reflected in your confidence. How you
- 12:38eat is reflected in your body, and how
- 12:40you dress is reflected in your
- 12:42confidence, in your actions, in your
- 12:44magnetism, and in the energy you
- 12:46possess every day. Clothing raises your
- 12:50energy, and energy equals good action,
- 12:53and good action equals incredible
- 12:55results. And you don't need expensive
- 12:58pieces; that is a myth. You need pieces
- 13:02that lift your energy, that is, they
- 13:04have a good cut, fit your body type,
- 13:07and have a color combination that is
- 13:09appealing and attractive to the eyes of
- 13:12others. With just that, you will be
- 13:16making a great, great breakthrough. By
- 13:18the way, there is one small gesture
- 13:20that will definitely always lead you to
- 13:22move to the next level, and that is
- 13:23subscribing to this channel. By
- 13:25subscribing to this channel and
- 13:27watching these types of videos, you
- 13:29will always be contributing, along with
- 13:31many other people, to improving,
- 13:33progressing, and learning. And that
- 13:35investment in your learning is the most
- 13:37fundamental one. So if you subscribe,
- 13:40you're not just doing me a favor, so to
- 13:41speak, because I try to provide a lot
- 13:43of value, but you're also doing it for
- 13:45yourself. And if you could also leave a
- 13:48like, that would be awesome. Delegate
- 13:51everything that is worth less than your
- 13:53hourly rate. When you level up and
- 13:56start generating more income, your time
- 13:58is worth more. And if you keep doing
- 14:01the same tasks, that is the fastest way
- 14:04to get stuck: grocery shopping,
- 14:06cleaning, bills, or any repetitive task
- 14:08that someone else could do for you.
- 14:11Those tasks are stealing hours that, if
- 14:14invested well, could propel you to
- 14:16another level. I want us to do one
- 14:18thing: I want you to calculate your
- 14:20hourly rate—that is, how much money
- 14:23you generate in an hour—and then
- 14:25immediately delegate absolutely all
- 14:27those tasks that have a lower hourly
- 14:29cost. I did it 4 years ago; I did this
- 14:32calculation, and it turned out that I
- 14:35had to delegate something as important
- 14:37as food. My friends at that time, who
- 14:40earned more? They told me, "No, Adriá,
- 14:42don't do it. You're not at the level
- 14:44yet to have a private chef." But I
- 14:46thought, "Hey, the person who lives the
- 14:48life I desire, how would they act?""
- 14:51What would they decide?""Would they
- 14:54invest in a private chef or just keep
- 14:56cooking for themselves?""Would they
- 14:59keep preparing their own meals?" And
- 15:00that's when I saw it clearly. I needed
- 15:02to hire a chef, no matter what. 4 years
- 15:05later, you know what happened: those
- 15:07friends have remained stagnant in their
- 15:10revenue level, and mine has quadrupled.
- 15:13Why? Well, because I followed the exact
- 15:15steps that those people, those mentors,
- 15:18passed on to me. Once you write down
- 15:20all those repetitive tasks that drain
- 15:22your energy and don't contribute to
- 15:25your wealth generation or your
- 15:27development, and you delegate them and
- 15:29focus on everything that is really
- 15:32moving the ship, your life, bam, it
- 15:34will take off like a rocket to the moon
- 15:37. buying money. Years ago, I wanted to
- 15:40buy this watch I have on my wrist, but
- 15:43seeing what it cost, I decided to make
- 15:45a completely different choice. I
- 15:48decided to invest it. What happened?
- 15:51Well, with a little patience, 2 years
- 15:53later, not only have I been able to buy
- 15:56this watch with the appreciation of
- 15:58those stocks—meaning this watch was
- 16:00free for me—but I still have much
- 16:02more money than I would have had if I
- 16:04had used that money to buy this watch
- 16:07directly. One of the fundamental steps
- 16:10in the wealth-building process is that,
- 16:12no matter what, once you start earning
- 16:14money, you must invest it. No one
- 16:17teaches us about this. On my channel
- 16:19and in the podcasts I’ve done, I have
- 16:20talked a lot about this. The great
- 16:22enemy is inflation. Every day that your
- 16:25money isn't invested, it is losing a
- 16:26great deal of its value. And right now,
- 16:29in our current situation, at a dizzying
- 16:32speed, what I recommend—and what
- 16:34investors like Warren Buffett recommend
- 16:36—is that you educate yourself on how
- 16:38to invest your money; start with index
- 16:40funds; then, once you have more
- 16:42training and knowledge, after many
- 16:44years of practice, move on to value
- 16:46investing, individual stocks, and
- 16:48diversifying your portfolio. No matter
- 16:52what, your money must be invested. Buy
- 16:54a car. Grant Cardone, the billionaire
- 16:57entrepreneur, has a tremendously
- 16:59powerful quote that says: "Buy things
- 17:00that force you to grow to deserve them.
- 17:02" In psychology, they call that a
- 17:05commitment device, and it works just
- 17:07like paying for a gym membership for an
- 17:09entire year. Once you've done it,
- 17:13missing a day hurts a lot. I did that
- 17:16at 23 with my dream car. I had enough
- 17:19capital to buy it. It was a smart
- 17:22financial decision, not reckless at all
- 17:23, according to my net worth
- 17:25distribution. But when I thought about
- 17:28buying it, all my fears, limiting
- 17:30beliefs, and conditioning to live in a
- 17:32state of saving and austerity came up.
- 17:34Even having invested a lot of money,
- 17:36those fears still surfaced. What
- 17:38happened? I thought, "Hey, how would I
- 17:40act?" How would that future Adria, who
- 17:43has built the life I wish to live,
- 17:45decide? How would he decide in that
- 17:47situation? He would buy that car. He
- 17:50would buy that car number one because
- 17:52it would be an irreplaceable experience
- 17:54to have a car like that at 23. Number
- 17:58two, because it would force me to raise
- 18:00my standards and work like the Adria
- 18:03who had built the life I dreamed of;
- 18:05that is, to level up in action, thought
- 18:07, and decision-making. And third,
- 18:11because if I had been capable of
- 18:13leveling up, I absolutely had to reward
- 18:16myself at the level I was at. The
- 18:20moment you make that process fun and
- 18:22give yourself a reward when you deserve
- 18:24it, you will always want to keep going
- 18:26and going, because you know there will
- 18:29be a small reward at the end of that
- 18:31effort. If you make these investments,
- 18:35I assure you, you will not stop growing
- 18:37, your life will not stop progressing,
- 18:39and you will have a long path of many
- 18:41level-ups. Thank you so much for
- 18:43spending this time with me. I will be
- 18:46reading in the comments other
- 18:47investments that you consider to have
- 18:49improved your life, so that the
- 18:51community can also learn from you and
- 18:53your experience. I send you a kiss and
- 18:56a warm hug. Thank you for always being
- 18:58there. See you in the next video.
