  1. 0:00Life works in levels, and what has
  2. 0:03gotten you here, believe me, will not
  3. 0:06take you to where you truly want to go.
  4. 0:10You have surely advanced a little in
  5. 0:12your life, but for a long time, you
  6. 0:14have felt like you are still living
  7. 0:16with the same exhaustion, still with
  8. 0:19the same people. Nothing is truly
  9. 0:21changing. Your routine is the same and
  10. 0:24you want to advance, you want to reach
  11. 0:26the next level, but no matter how hard
  12. 0:28you work, it doesn't happen. That means
  13. 0:32you are stuck, and you are. Do you know
  14. 0:36why? Because you still haven't upgraded
  15. 0:38all those things you need to upgrade to
  16. 0:40take your life to the next level.
  17. 0:42Let’s take it one step at a time. The
  18. 0:44vast majority of people use money for
  19. 0:46superficial things. Buying clothes to
  20. 0:50please others, buying that car to get
  21. 0:52noticed, going to expensive restaurants
  22. 0:55to enjoy themselves. But the people who
  23. 0:59truly understand that life is like a
  24. 1:02video game with different missions, and
  25. 1:04understand that money is a fundamental
  26. 1:07tool to advance in it and level up, use
  27. 1:10money in a very different way. They use
  28. 1:14it to, one, reclaim their time and
  29. 1:15capitalize on it. And two, optimize
  30. 1:19their life. Every dollar you earn is
  31. 1:23like a little soldier, a little soldier
  32. 1:25that has a single mission: to be an
  33. 1:27enhancer of your effort to maximize
  34. 1:29what you get in return. That is to say,
  35. 1:32so that with less and less effort and
  36. 1:35time, you earn much, much more. And for
  37. 1:38that, and it's something I always do,
  38. 1:41every time you move up a level and your
  39. 1:43income increases, you must, one way or
  40. 1:45another, upgrade certain things that
  41. 1:47will push you in that progress toward
  42. 1:49the next level. So today, in this video
  43. 1:53, I am going to explain exactly the
  44. 1:55investments you must make to move to
  45. 1:57the next level, no matter what. I
  46. 2:00already have my coffee ready, so
  47. 2:04let’s go with the first one. Buy a
  48. 2:08hobby. In 1915, Winston Churchill was
  49. 2:12removed from the Admiralty due to the
  50. 2:14defeat at the Battle of Gallipoli, and
  51. 2:17he fell into one of the darkest periods
  52. 2:19of his life. And that man who had never
  53. 2:23painted ended up painting 500 canvases.
  54. 2:27And from there, Winston Churchill drew
  55. 2:29a wonderful conclusion. He said that
  56. 2:31when you are exhausted from work, that
  57. 2:34part of your mind that is tremendously
  58. 2:37tired doesn't recover by resting; it
  59. 2:39recovers by activating another part of
  60. 2:42your mind. For a long time, I didn't
  61. 2:45understand it. I worked and worked and
  62. 2:48worked endlessly, obsessed with the
  63. 2:51tasks I had to do and the goals we were
  64. 2:53pursuing, both individually and
  65. 2:56professionally as a team, and I felt
  66. 2:58that something in my life just wasn't
  67. 3:01flowing. So, after 10 years, I decided
  68. 3:04to pick up my tennis racket and sign up
  69. 3:07again. I had played tennis throughout
  70. 3:10my childhood, and despite training very
  71. 3:12hard, I always lost my matches because
  72. 3:14I lacked the confidence, the mindset
  73. 3:16that was needed. Over the years I have
  74. 3:19cultivated it, but I still hadn't been
  75. 3:20able to test it on the court. So I
  76. 3:23picked it back up, started competing,
  77. 3:25and the feeling was spectacular. During
  78. 3:28the time I was competing, wow,
  79. 3:30everything just faded away. Time would
  80. 3:33stop, I didn't think about work for a
  81. 3:35single moment, I won my matches, yes,
  82. 3:37and besides that, which was most
  83. 3:39important, it allowed me to work on
  84. 3:41other parts of my mind that released
  85. 3:44tension from the parts I used for work.
  86. 3:47Money is stored energy that must move
  87. 3:49one way or another; it cannot stagnate.
  88. 3:51Where? Toward things that bring you
  89. 3:54back to life. It is important here to
  90. 3:56remember the saying. You can never pour
  91. 3:59from an empty cup. So refill it, refill
  92. 4:02it with a hobby, with something that
  93. 4:04allows you to play. Two, buy an
  94. 4:07identity. The psychologist Erving
  95. 4:10Goffman discovered something that is
  96. 4:12chilling. Throughout our entire
  97. 4:16upbringing, especially in childhood,
  98. 4:18the people around us deposit beliefs
  99. 4:20into us about who we are. A character
  100. 4:23is created that little by little gets
  101. 4:25others used to seeing us in a certain
  102. 4:28way. The moment we decide to change,
  103. 4:30for example, to start our path of
  104. 4:32personal development, do you know what
  105. 4:33happens? That others, involuntarily,
  106. 4:37try to drag us back to the version of
  107. 4:39us they already knew. That is where the
  108. 4:42great tragedy happens. I lived through
  109. 4:45experiences and grew up in an
  110. 4:47environment that led to a lack of
  111. 4:49confidence, to introversion, to shyness
  112. 4:51, to a lack of energy, to
  113. 4:53procrastination. And of course, when I
  114. 4:56truly committed to changing, I found
  115. 4:58myself in an environment with people
  116. 5:00who were used to a version of me that I
  117. 5:01no longer recognized, that I no longer
  118. 5:03wanted to be. And there was the clash;
  119. 5:07I couldn't improve in the environment I
  120. 5:10was in. So that is what I did. I went
  121. 5:13to travel around Europe alone for 9
  122. 5:15months, staying in the homes of
  123. 5:17strangers. And you know, the most
  124. 5:20curious thing is that at that moment,
  125. 5:23at 17 years old, during that trip I was
  126. 5:26able to design the identity I truly
  127. 5:28wanted to be, the one that lived inside
  128. 5:31me, the one I was truly destined to be:
  129. 5:33confident, charismatic, secure,
  130. 5:36magnetic, without fear. You buy an
  131. 5:39object and get used to it, but a trip,
  132. 5:42a trip changes you forever because,
  133. 5:44number one, you meet people there and
  134. 5:46live experiences that will build
  135. 5:48memories you can later share. Then you
  136. 5:52will have a series of lessons that you
  137. 5:53will carry in your backpack for the
  138. 5:55rest of your life. But even better, and
  139. 5:59this is what I was saying, in those
  140. 6:00places where nobody knows you, you can
  141. 6:03decide who you really are, fill
  142. 6:04yourself with courage and valor, and
  143. 6:06see that another version of you, much
  144. 6:08more functional, much stronger,
  145. 6:10resilient, and capable, is possible.
  146. 6:14And that, believe me, cannot be bought
  147. 6:16with money. So this is my most intense
  148. 6:19recommendation for you. Invest in
  149. 6:22travel, in experiences that give you
  150. 6:25new stimuli and allow you to build the
  151. 6:28version of you that you really want to
  152. 6:31be. Five. Buy a mentor.
  153. 6:35>> All the most important moments of my
  154. 6:37life have been propelled by a mentor,
  155. 6:39by a person who has given me training
  156. 6:41and fundamental lessons to get where I
  157. 6:43wanted to go. It is a person who was
  158. 6:47already at the level where I wanted to
  159. 6:48be, who had already traveled the path I
  160. 6:50needed to travel. That makes your
  161. 6:54progress much more effective. Just
  162. 6:57recently, last week, I attended one of
  163. 6:59the most important training sessions on
  164. 7:02the planet in Los Angeles. I was in
  165. 7:05contact with the people who literally
  166. 7:07dominate the planet, who are deciding
  167. 7:09where humanity is headed. It was a
  168. 7:13tremendously large investment, yes, but
  169. 7:15all that exposure to their way of
  170. 7:18thinking, acting, deciding, and
  171. 7:20speaking, believe me, will make me move
  172. 7:23forward much faster. And that has been
  173. 7:26done for hundreds of years. For example
  174. 7:30, in France, there is the concept of "
  175. 7:32compagnonnage" from the Middle Ages;
  176. 7:34whoever wanted to master a trade didn't
  177. 7:36just study theory books, but spent
  178. 7:38years and years as an apprentice, from
  179. 7:40workshop to workshop, from master to
  180. 7:42master across different cities.
  181. 7:45Investing in mentors is a commitment
  182. 7:47you must have for life. You start with
  183. 7:51books, podcasts, and YouTube, but you
  184. 7:53must always move to the next level.
  185. 7:56Always. And something that happened at
  186. 7:59this event is that I was able to talk
  187. 8:01to Luca Ferrari. Luca Ferrari is the
  188. 8:04owner of Miro, StreamYard, WeTransfer,
  189. 8:07Evernote, and many other platforms. He
  190. 8:10has a net worth of 25 billion euros.
  191. 8:15And I spoke with him and asked, "What
  192. 8:16is the fundamental action you take
  193. 8:18every day to reach the next level?" Do
  194. 8:21you know what he told me? He said, "I
  195. 8:22spend the day, and if I do it, that day
  196. 8:25is successful." I spend my days
  197. 8:28persuading clients to invest in my
  198. 8:30company, raising capital, trying to
  199. 8:32sell my company, and giving
  200. 8:34presentations on my project and how
  201. 8:36important it is for humanity. In other
  202. 8:39words, one of the most important people
  203. 8:41in the world spends their day
  204. 8:42communicating. So, if you want to learn
  205. 8:46this skill, the skill of communication,
  206. 8:48the most important skill you can learn
  207. 8:50for your relationships, for your
  208. 8:52confidence, for your career, and also
  209. 8:54for generating wealth, I have a link in
  210. 8:56the description for a class where I
  211. 8:58will teach you the method we use at the
  212. 9:00Institute of Communication, through
  213. 9:02which more than 2,500 people have
  214. 9:04already passed, finishing their
  215. 9:05training with a European Union
  216. 9:07certificate. You can find it in the
  217. 9:10link in the description. Don't be
  218. 9:13stingy with what you use every day,
  219. 9:14because the poor keep getting poorer
  220. 9:16and the rich keep getting richer. Terry
  221. 9:19Pratchett has a chilling and very
  222. 9:21accurate explanation. He tells us that
  223. 9:24when a poor person wants to buy, for
  224. 9:26example, boots to keep their feet dry
  225. 9:28in the rain, they buy $ 10 boots of
  226. 9:30poor quality. Instead, a rich person
  227. 9:33prefers to make an investment, buying
  228. 9:34more expensive boots, for example, for
  229. 9:36$ 50. What happens is that the poor
  230. 9:39person will be changing their boots
  231. 9:41every year because they will break, and
  232. 9:43the rich person won't change theirs.
  233. 9:46Over the course of 10 years, the poor
  234. 9:48person will have changed them 10 times,
  235. 9:50and the rich person won't have changed
  236. 9:51them even once. The poor person ends up
  237. 9:55spending $ 100, and the worst part is
  238. 9:56they still get their feet wet in the
  239. 9:58rain, while the rich person has only
  240. 9:59spent $ 50. There is a series of
  241. 10:04objects that we use every day, which I
  242. 10:06call vital objects, that are often
  243. 10:08crucial, fundamental to our development
  244. 10:10, progress, and future. I am talking
  245. 10:14about objects like a mattress where you
  246. 10:16restore all your energy and spend a
  247. 10:18third of your life, a good suitcase, a
  248. 10:21computer, a pair of shoes, or the chair
  249. 10:23where you work; these are objects you
  250. 10:25cannot be stingy with, please. These
  251. 10:29are objects that your wealth production
  252. 10:31or your energy restoration, as in the
  253. 10:33case of the mattress, even depend on. I
  254. 10:36was always taught to save and to live a
  255. 10:39frugal and austere life, but that led
  256. 10:41me to things like buying suitcases at
  257. 10:43discount shops to travel the world,
  258. 10:46Europe, New York, Paris, only to have
  259. 10:48the wheel break or the zipper rip apart
  260. 10:51in the middle of the trip. And back
  261. 10:54then, it was an absolute nightmare,
  262. 10:56dragging my suitcase through every
  263. 10:58street and corner of the world,
  264. 11:00wrecking my back. It was a real ordeal.
  265. 11:04When I made my first bit of good money,
  266. 11:06what did I do? I bought a Rimowa; yes,
  267. 11:09it was a significant investment at
  268. 11:11first, but you have no idea the
  269. 11:12pleasure it gives me now every time I
  270. 11:14travel with it. And the best part of
  271. 11:17all is that it has a lifetime guarantee
  272. 11:20. If it breaks, they fix it. And that
  273. 11:22is exactly where the theory I just
  274. 11:24mentioned applies. And that must be
  275. 11:27applied to everything, to all those
  276. 11:29objects that are vital for your energy
  277. 11:32recovery, development, health, and
  278. 11:34wealth production. Please, don't skimp.
  279. 11:38Don't be stingy with vital items.
  280. 11:40Upgrade your wardrobe. Dress like the
  281. 11:43person you admire. I'm going to confess
  282. 11:44something to you. Every day, I dress in
  283. 11:47a suit, in a shirt, as if I were
  284. 11:49attending a meeting with one of the
  285. 11:51most important people in the world. I
  286. 11:55dress like the person who is living the
  287. 11:57life I desire, and there is a
  288. 11:58foundation for that. In 2012, at the
  289. 12:02Kellogg School of Management, they gave
  290. 12:04some students a white coat, telling
  291. 12:06them it was a doctor's, and others the
  292. 12:08same coat, telling them it was a
  293. 12:10painter's. The first group, those
  294. 12:12wearing the doctor's coat, you know
  295. 12:14what? They worked harder, focused for
  296. 12:17longer hours, and made fewer mistakes.
  297. 12:19Why? Because they associated that coat
  298. 12:23with a personality and were embodying
  299. 12:24it. I have repeated it many times: what
  300. 12:27you do in private is seen in public.
  301. 12:30Your readings are reflected in a
  302. 12:31conversation. Your habits are reflected
  303. 12:34in your character. Your discipline is
  304. 12:36reflected in your confidence. How you
  305. 12:38eat is reflected in your body, and how
  306. 12:40you dress is reflected in your
  307. 12:42confidence, in your actions, in your
  308. 12:44magnetism, and in the energy you
  309. 12:46possess every day. Clothing raises your
  310. 12:50energy, and energy equals good action,
  311. 12:53and good action equals incredible
  312. 12:55results. And you don't need expensive
  313. 12:58pieces; that is a myth. You need pieces
  314. 13:02that lift your energy, that is, they
  315. 13:04have a good cut, fit your body type,
  316. 13:07and have a color combination that is
  317. 13:09appealing and attractive to the eyes of
  318. 13:12others. With just that, you will be
  319. 13:16making a great, great breakthrough. By
  320. 13:18the way, there is one small gesture
  321. 13:20that will definitely always lead you to
  322. 13:22move to the next level, and that is
  323. 13:23subscribing to this channel. By
  324. 13:25subscribing to this channel and
  325. 13:27watching these types of videos, you
  326. 13:29will always be contributing, along with
  327. 13:31many other people, to improving,
  328. 13:33progressing, and learning. And that
  329. 13:35investment in your learning is the most
  330. 13:37fundamental one. So if you subscribe,
  331. 13:40you're not just doing me a favor, so to
  332. 13:41speak, because I try to provide a lot
  333. 13:43of value, but you're also doing it for
  334. 13:45yourself. And if you could also leave a
  335. 13:48like, that would be awesome. Delegate
  336. 13:51everything that is worth less than your
  337. 13:53hourly rate. When you level up and
  338. 13:56start generating more income, your time
  339. 13:58is worth more. And if you keep doing
  340. 14:01the same tasks, that is the fastest way
  341. 14:04to get stuck: grocery shopping,
  342. 14:06cleaning, bills, or any repetitive task
  343. 14:08that someone else could do for you.
  344. 14:11Those tasks are stealing hours that, if
  345. 14:14invested well, could propel you to
  346. 14:16another level. I want us to do one
  347. 14:18thing: I want you to calculate your
  348. 14:20hourly rate—that is, how much money
  349. 14:23you generate in an hour—and then
  350. 14:25immediately delegate absolutely all
  351. 14:27those tasks that have a lower hourly
  352. 14:29cost. I did it 4 years ago; I did this
  353. 14:32calculation, and it turned out that I
  354. 14:35had to delegate something as important
  355. 14:37as food. My friends at that time, who
  356. 14:40earned more? They told me, "No, Adriá,
  357. 14:42don't do it. You're not at the level
  358. 14:44yet to have a private chef." But I
  359. 14:46thought, "Hey, the person who lives the
  360. 14:48life I desire, how would they act?""
  361. 14:51What would they decide?""Would they
  362. 14:54invest in a private chef or just keep
  363. 14:56cooking for themselves?""Would they
  364. 14:59keep preparing their own meals?" And
  365. 15:00that's when I saw it clearly. I needed
  366. 15:02to hire a chef, no matter what. 4 years
  367. 15:05later, you know what happened: those
  368. 15:07friends have remained stagnant in their
  369. 15:10revenue level, and mine has quadrupled.
  370. 15:13Why? Well, because I followed the exact
  371. 15:15steps that those people, those mentors,
  372. 15:18passed on to me. Once you write down
  373. 15:20all those repetitive tasks that drain
  374. 15:22your energy and don't contribute to
  375. 15:25your wealth generation or your
  376. 15:27development, and you delegate them and
  377. 15:29focus on everything that is really
  378. 15:32moving the ship, your life, bam, it
  379. 15:34will take off like a rocket to the moon
  380. 15:37. buying money. Years ago, I wanted to
  381. 15:40buy this watch I have on my wrist, but
  382. 15:43seeing what it cost, I decided to make
  383. 15:45a completely different choice. I
  384. 15:48decided to invest it. What happened?
  385. 15:51Well, with a little patience, 2 years
  386. 15:53later, not only have I been able to buy
  387. 15:56this watch with the appreciation of
  388. 15:58those stocks—meaning this watch was
  389. 16:00free for me—but I still have much
  390. 16:02more money than I would have had if I
  391. 16:04had used that money to buy this watch
  392. 16:07directly. One of the fundamental steps
  393. 16:10in the wealth-building process is that,
  394. 16:12no matter what, once you start earning
  395. 16:14money, you must invest it. No one
  396. 16:17teaches us about this. On my channel
  397. 16:19and in the podcasts I’ve done, I have
  398. 16:20talked a lot about this. The great
  399. 16:22enemy is inflation. Every day that your
  400. 16:25money isn't invested, it is losing a
  401. 16:26great deal of its value. And right now,
  402. 16:29in our current situation, at a dizzying
  403. 16:32speed, what I recommend—and what
  404. 16:34investors like Warren Buffett recommend
  405. 16:36—is that you educate yourself on how
  406. 16:38to invest your money; start with index
  407. 16:40funds; then, once you have more
  408. 16:42training and knowledge, after many
  409. 16:44years of practice, move on to value
  410. 16:46investing, individual stocks, and
  411. 16:48diversifying your portfolio. No matter
  412. 16:52what, your money must be invested. Buy
  413. 16:54a car. Grant Cardone, the billionaire
  414. 16:57entrepreneur, has a tremendously
  415. 16:59powerful quote that says: "Buy things
  416. 17:00that force you to grow to deserve them.
  417. 17:02" In psychology, they call that a
  418. 17:05commitment device, and it works just
  419. 17:07like paying for a gym membership for an
  420. 17:09entire year. Once you've done it,
  421. 17:13missing a day hurts a lot. I did that
  422. 17:16at 23 with my dream car. I had enough
  423. 17:19capital to buy it. It was a smart
  424. 17:22financial decision, not reckless at all
  425. 17:23, according to my net worth
  426. 17:25distribution. But when I thought about
  427. 17:28buying it, all my fears, limiting
  428. 17:30beliefs, and conditioning to live in a
  429. 17:32state of saving and austerity came up.
  430. 17:34Even having invested a lot of money,
  431. 17:36those fears still surfaced. What
  432. 17:38happened? I thought, "Hey, how would I
  433. 17:40act?" How would that future Adria, who
  434. 17:43has built the life I wish to live,
  435. 17:45decide? How would he decide in that
  436. 17:47situation? He would buy that car. He
  437. 17:50would buy that car number one because
  438. 17:52it would be an irreplaceable experience
  439. 17:54to have a car like that at 23. Number
  440. 17:58two, because it would force me to raise
  441. 18:00my standards and work like the Adria
  442. 18:03who had built the life I dreamed of;
  443. 18:05that is, to level up in action, thought
  444. 18:07, and decision-making. And third,
  445. 18:11because if I had been capable of
  446. 18:13leveling up, I absolutely had to reward
  447. 18:16myself at the level I was at. The
  448. 18:20moment you make that process fun and
  449. 18:22give yourself a reward when you deserve
  450. 18:24it, you will always want to keep going
  451. 18:26and going, because you know there will
  452. 18:29be a small reward at the end of that
  453. 18:31effort. If you make these investments,
  454. 18:35I assure you, you will not stop growing
  455. 18:37, your life will not stop progressing,
  456. 18:39and you will have a long path of many
  457. 18:41level-ups. Thank you so much for
  458. 18:43spending this time with me. I will be
  459. 18:46reading in the comments other
  460. 18:47investments that you consider to have
  461. 18:49improved your life, so that the
  462. 18:51community can also learn from you and
  463. 18:53your experience. I send you a kiss and
  464. 18:56a warm hug. Thank you for always being
  465. 18:58there. See you in the next video.
