- 0:02working a 9 to-5 job to becoming an
- 0:04independent entrepreneur making a
- 0:06million dollars within the next year you
- 0:07see I went from earning $55,000 a year
- 0:10in a job that I hated to having a net
- 0:13worth of over $100 million and let me
- 0:15tell you I made so many mistakes but if
- 0:18I could go back and do it all over again
- 0:20this is how I would do it even faster
- 0:22and better so here are my 10 tips to go
- 0:24from being a 9 to-5 team member to
- 0:26thinking acting and earning like a
- 0:28millionaire your first step to becoming
- 0:30a millionaire is identifying your
- 0:32millionaire skill think about it what
- 0:34does a millionaire know that you don't
- 0:36know so this is what I would do I would
- 0:38go to Google Google is my best friend I
- 0:40actually have a hashtag with a sticker
- 0:42that a team member gave me that says
- 0:44Google that because I say this so
- 0:46often so you going to Google occupations
- 0:48of millionaires and you're going to come
- 0:49up with a list there's going to be
- 0:51things like engineer lawyer entrepreneur
- 0:54real estate agent and a whole bunch of
- 0:56other things where people are actually
- 0:58making a million dollars a year and if
- 0:59you put this on a grid where you listed
- 1:01out all the opportunities and then you
- 1:03listed your interest level on a scale of
- 1:051 to five in that career field you're
- 1:08going to have a better understanding of
- 1:10if you're interested in this thing now
- 1:11the next call to look at is do you
- 1:13already have knowledge in this area so
- 1:15you take all of your businesses you look
- 1:17at where you're interested in you look
- 1:18at what your skill set is so you
- 1:20identify which of these occupations you
- 1:22are going to choose to become a
- 1:24millionaire in so when I was deciding
- 1:26what path I wanted to take in order to
- 1:28become a millionaire what I realiz
- 1:29realized is I'm not great at math and I
- 1:32didn't want to go back to school to have
- 1:33to get some degree that was going to
- 1:35prolong the path for me to actually make
- 1:37the money that I wanted to make so I
- 1:39decided to become an entrepreneur I
- 1:40decided to launch a business this was
- 1:42the fastest and easiest path for me
- 1:45based on my interest and my existing
- 1:47level of Knowledge and Skills you have
- 1:48to decide what that is for you pick one
- 1:51that you are at least interested in and
- 1:53are willing to commit to figure out how
- 1:55do you become great millionaire great at
- 1:57that particular occupation so now your
- 1:59second step is to stop hanging out with
- 2:01your broke friends you will never become
- 2:03a millionaire if you cannot cut broke
- 2:05people out of your life I remember when
- 2:07I had this Epiphany that I was going to
- 2:09create this business six years ago I
- 2:11started telling my friends at the time
- 2:13about it and I thought that I was going
- 2:15to be met with excitement with questions
- 2:17with just some level of support to be
- 2:20honest with you and instead of any of
- 2:22that my friends made fun of me asked
- 2:25kind of condescending questions and what
- 2:27was more hurtful than the condescending
- 2:29questions was the way that they would
- 2:31just ignore this new thing that I was
- 2:33doing that I was excited about they
- 2:35would continue to talk about old
- 2:37all of the old stories things
- 2:39that were happening in their life that
- 2:41might not honestly be that interesting
- 2:43or that different and here I was putting
- 2:44all of this time into becoming this next
- 2:46version of myself I was learning new
- 2:48things I was staying up late I was
- 2:49meeting new people to create a new life
- 2:51for myself that I was so excited about
- 2:53and they couldn't have been any less
- 2:55interested your energy is finite your
- 2:57broke friends if they're not interested
- 2:59in hearing about your goals and they
- 3:00aren't excited about supporting you
- 3:02they're going to invalidate you which
- 3:04might actually cause you to give up in
- 3:06the process that's not what you're here
- 3:07to do you're here to actually learn the
- 3:09steps to make it easy on yourself and
- 3:11the fastest way to make this easy on you
- 3:13is to get rid of friends who are going
- 3:15to hold you back in the process now that
- 3:17you've removed your broke friends from
- 3:19your life you have to replace them with
- 3:22Rich teachers so think of whoever your
- 3:24Idol is for me this was a len a card
- 3:27down I wanted to be interesting enough I
- 3:29wanted to be valuable enough that she
- 3:31would want to hang out with me and what
- 3:32I realized is Elena would not be hanging
- 3:35out with Natalie in present state so
- 3:37what does Natalie in presence date need
- 3:38to start doing so that if I get the
- 3:41opportunity to be in Elena's presence
- 3:43she is interested in having a
- 3:45conversation with me and let me tell you
- 3:46this advice is only for people who are
- 3:48really willing to be honest with
- 3:49themselves because some people might lie
- 3:50to themselves and think well there's no
- 3:52reason that Elon Musk wouldn't want to
- 3:54hang out with me or Grant Cardone
- 3:55wouldn't want to hang out with me but if
- 3:57you haven't done anything great if you
- 3:58haven't created anything thing great why
- 4:00would they want to spend time with you
- 4:02and that's a hard pill to swallow
- 4:03however once you swallow it then you can
- 4:05get into action the most practical tip I
- 4:07can give you is to identify the 10 most
- 4:10successful people in the specific field
- 4:12that you decide that you want to pursue
- 4:13where you want to become a millionaire
- 4:15in and you study them so I chose the
- 4:18Cardone specifically to study because
- 4:20they had the stats they were a power
- 4:22couple they already had a billion dollar
- 4:24net worth which was my Target and they
- 4:26worked together those criteria change
- 4:29everything for me so this brings me to
- 4:30step number four which is stop wasting
- 4:32your time time is your most important
- 4:35asset your ability to study to learn to
- 4:39educate yourself on mornings evenings
- 4:42weekends in the shower driving you use
- 4:46those opportunities to build the skill
- 4:48set that you are learning from the best
- 4:50of the best for me that was a
- 4:52combination of podcasts YouTube videos
- 4:54and books I studied every waking minute
- 4:56so that I could get the education
- 4:58because if you just believe that that
- 5:00somebody knew something more than you
- 5:01and that's all you had to do is learn
- 5:03from them what they know that you don't
- 5:05know that's the hack but most people
- 5:07study from the wrong people they don't
- 5:08set the target to begin with they don't
- 5:10even think that they can become a
- 5:11millionaire so all of this work just
- 5:13goes to waste and then they waste their
- 5:15time they waste their time with Netflix
- 5:17they waste their time scrolling
- 5:19endlessly on social media you see if you
- 5:21want to be a millionaire you should only
- 5:22be following millionaires on social
- 5:24media you have to stop wasting your time
- 5:27on things that aren't allowing you to
- 5:29you gain competency if you really want
- 5:32to be a millionaire in your chosen field
- 5:34you have to be an expert you have to be
- 5:36fully competent and understand the terms
- 5:40the definitions the players how the game
- 5:43works you have to be a student of the
- 5:45game that you were choosing to play step
- 5:47five is probably the hardest for most
- 5:49people to accept and it is to go into
- 5:51debt which translates to you have to be
- 5:53willing to invest once you invest and
- 5:57you realize that the money that you have
- 5:59is a tool to get you to where you want
- 6:02to go instead of something that you save
- 6:05and you afford all of a sudden
- 6:07opportunities open up because when you
- 6:09invest you can get in the rooms with
- 6:13people who have done what you are trying
- 6:15to do but without investing and
- 6:17potentially having to go into debt you
- 6:19are just stuck in your house in your car
- 6:21doing what you've always done being in
- 6:23the same environment you've always been
- 6:24in and you never have to force yourself
- 6:26to become the type of person who can be
- 6:28in a different room but it feels
- 6:30uncomfortable because nobody wants to
- 6:31invest before they know how to make
- 6:33money but in order to make money you
- 6:35have to invest Grant Cardone has my
- 6:37favorite quote on this he says if you
- 6:38don't invest time and money you will
- 6:41never have time and money so for
- 6:43instance a $10,000 investment in a
- 6:45mastermind is not what's going to make
- 6:47you broke what's actually making you
- 6:49broke is the fact that you don't have
- 6:50the knowledge that is inside that
- 6:52$110,000 Mastermind you see you need to
- 6:55understand what those teachings are and
- 6:57without having access how are you going
- 6:58to learn those things see the first time
- 7:00that I invested in myself it was a
- 7:02marketing course for
- 7:03$4,000 I did not have the $4,000 to be
- 7:06able to invest in this marketing course
- 7:08but I recognized that I needed to get
- 7:10myself out there I needed to get myself
- 7:12known and the way that you do that is
- 7:14through promotion and through marketing
- 7:15so I was at an event it was a women's
- 7:17event I was all jazzed up I was excited
- 7:20I was like yeah these speakers are
- 7:22amazing they just were like lighting me
- 7:24up I was like what would it be like if I
- 7:25could be up on that stage with them one
- 7:27day I deserve to be up on that stage
- 7:29with them one day I'm not at that point
- 7:31right now but that's what I want so at
- 7:33the end of the event they made an offer
- 7:34for $4,000 marketing course and I
- 7:38panicked like oh my gosh $4,000 is so
- 7:41much money and what if I don't make that
- 7:42money back what if I could learn all
- 7:43this stuff online and then it was just a
- 7:45waste of money and then I feel silly and
- 7:47all of the self-doubt just started to
- 7:48creep in as soon as they started talking
- 7:50about $4,000 which was a number that I
- 7:52was uncomfortable with but I made the
- 7:53investment I just did it I was like I'm
- 7:55going all in because it's going to force
- 7:57me to become a different version of
- 7:58myself and I'm unwilling in one year
- 8:00from now to be the same person that I am
- 8:01today step six is simply to get yourself
- 8:05in the room to go from zero to a
- 8:07millionaire you need to get into the
- 8:09rooms with people who could actually
- 8:11help you if you don't get into the rooms
- 8:13you're not going to become that person I
- 8:15have attended so many conferences where
- 8:17I use them as an opportunity to say
- 8:20Natalie in 3 months from now when you
- 8:22attend this event you are going to have
- 8:24completed XYZ projects so that you can
- 8:26talk about this because you know that
- 8:28these types of people are going to be
- 8:30there and you have to prepare yourself
- 8:31cuz right now you're lame right now you
- 8:33don't have anything to offer anybody
- 8:34it's just the reality but you are going
- 8:36to have something to offer somebody
- 8:38because in 3 months from now you have a
- 8:40Target and you can create something in 3
- 8:42months from now you can create a landing
- 8:44page you can create an offer you can
- 8:46make movement if you know that you've
- 8:48committed yourself to be a place in the
- 8:50future so you become somebody in the
- 8:52process of attending that event that is
- 8:54valuable to the people that you know are
- 8:56going to be there but you are never
- 8:58going to take the steps that are
- 8:59required if you don't actually commit to
- 9:01getting in the room this is why for
- 9:02those 10 people that you are studying
- 9:05find rooms that they are going to be in
- 9:07and invest your money to get in that
- 9:09room so that when you show up you are
- 9:11forcing yourself to become the type of
- 9:13person that they would want to spend
- 9:14time with you get in the proximity to
- 9:17people who are making a million dollars
- 9:18and when you are in proximity you
- 9:20freaking impress the hell out of them
- 9:22the next step is to find out who is
- 9:24going to be in this room and research
- 9:26the hell out of them my motto is become
- 9:29the ultimate stalker but the good kind
- 9:31of stalker the stalker who is informed
- 9:33the stalker who does their research and
- 9:35isn't creepy and weird don't be that
- 9:37kind of soccer but the person that
- 9:39actually shows up and has looked up
- 9:41people ahead of time knows who their
- 9:43targets are because when you go to an
- 9:44event the target is not needing every
- 9:46single person that would be an
- 9:47unsuccessful action the target is
- 9:49finding the handful and remember this it
- 9:52is always a handful you were trying to
- 9:54find a handful of people who can help
- 9:57you get to where you were trying to go
- 9:58so when you look at the event ahead of
- 10:00time how can you find out who is going
- 10:02to be in the room do they have a
- 10:04WhatsApp group do they have a Facebook
- 10:05group how are people inside this
- 10:07community connecting what's cool about
- 10:09living in today's day and age is that
- 10:11when you go to an event like this they
- 10:13are likely trying to build a community
- 10:16which means that they have some sort of
- 10:17a community already existing ahead of
- 10:19time so do your freaking research this
- 10:22is what millionaires do they always go
- 10:24into rooms totally prepared your next
- 10:27step to acting and earning like a
- 10:29millionaire is learning how to sell
- 10:31because you see the richest most
- 10:33successful people you know they all know
- 10:35how to sell making money is a game
- 10:38comprised of knowing how to sell every
- 10:40single day you're going to have to sell
- 10:42yourself sell your customers and sell
- 10:44your future team members on who you are
- 10:46what you do and why anybody should care
- 10:49so regardless of if you want to be an
- 10:51engineer a lawyer an entrepreneur a real
- 10:54estate agent you have to learn how to
- 10:56sell so I strongly recommend that you
- 10:58are learning in the skill that you
- 11:00decided that you were going to become a
- 11:01millionaire in while concurrently
- 11:04learning how to sell because sales will
- 11:06follow you through out your millionaire
- 11:08process the best person to teach on
- 11:10sales is Grant Cardone he changed my
- 11:13life when I read the book sell or be
- 11:14sold because it teaches you how to get
- 11:17sold on yourself first so that then you
- 11:19have confidence in selling other people
- 11:21on you but if you aren't sold on you
- 11:23first you're going to have a lot of
- 11:24challenges selling other people cuz
- 11:26you're going to feel a little bit like a
- 11:27fraud and to me that is the
- 11:28misconception in sales is that it's
- 11:30braggy or that you have to be stumping
- 11:33somebody or giving them something that
- 11:34they don't want it's about listening to
- 11:36somebody it's about understanding their
- 11:38problems and it's about you offering
- 11:40effective solutions to move them away
- 11:42from their problems at this point you
- 11:44pick a niche you've made new friends
- 11:47you've invested time and money learning
- 11:49and getting into the room and you've
- 11:51learned how to sell now it's time to
- 11:53start making money but we need to be
- 11:55crystal clear on our goals which is why
- 11:57step nine is to set to your millionaire
- 12:00metrics you will never be a millionaire
- 12:02if you don't have millionaire metrics
- 12:04the coolest thing about becoming a
- 12:05millionaire is that it is literally just
- 12:07math if you made
- 12:10$2,740 a day you would be a millionaire
- 12:12so whatever it is that you are selling
- 12:14you have to do the math backwards to
- 12:16understand how many of those units how
- 12:18many of those products how many of those
- 12:19Services you would need to sell in order
- 12:21to generate a million dollars but once
- 12:23you understand how many units you have
- 12:24to sell you do have to break it down for
- 12:26day so that every single day you know
- 12:29what your goals are in order to hit your
- 12:31million dooll targets you have to get
- 12:33clear on your Target and what you need
- 12:35to be doing each and every day because
- 12:37as you come into challenges and
- 12:39roadblocks that's okay it is quite
- 12:41literally part of the process but if you
- 12:43give up on the way because you become
- 12:45unenthused or uninspired or you're not
- 12:48even looking at your targets any longer
- 12:49then you're never going to get there
- 12:51knowing that you're going to come into
- 12:52obstacles it's just part of the game the
- 12:54final step to thinking acting and
- 12:56earning like a millionaire is to remind
- 12:58yourself every that you are still broker
- 13:00you should remind yourself every single
- 13:03day that you are broke now you might be
- 13:06thinking Natalie I already know that I'm
- 13:07broke I don't need to be reminded every
- 13:09day yes you do you have to be reminded
- 13:12not only that you're broke today but
- 13:15more importantly what it is that you are
- 13:17working so hard for so that you don't
- 13:19give up in the process so my process is
- 13:22I look at my vision board I look at my
- 13:24bank account I look at my vision board I
- 13:26look at my bank account I go back and
- 13:28forth because because my reality doesn't
- 13:31meet my potential yet your reality today
- 13:34where you are your circumstances they
- 13:36don't meet what your potential is your
- 13:38potential is so much greater than what
- 13:40you've already created but you have to
- 13:42have this vision of where you're going
- 13:44and have a real strong conviction that
- 13:46you can actually become a millionaire
- 13:47you can actually have what other people
- 13:49are able to have you just have to learn
- 13:51very specific things that you don't know
- 13:52now in order to get there when you
- 13:54simplify it and start thinking about it
- 13:56in that way you actually can create your
- 13:58dream life and speaking of creating your
- 14:00dream life if you want to know my
- 14:02process for how to create a dream life
