You need to understand what's hidden behind the money. And behind the money, what's hidden is people who pay you for something. These are people who pay you to help them or to sell them something physical, right? Or so that you can provide them with a service or whatever. Basically, people pay the people who can help them. People pay individuals or companies that can solve a problem or make their life easier. That's all . That's all. Do we agree? You pay for something that's useful or entertaining or whatever, but you pay for it, right? So, the people who it, right? So, the people who provide you with that service or product do things more or less well. In fact, let's just say they do things better than average, uh, better than average. People who earn more money are usually average. People who earn more money are usually average. They're not mediocre, they're actually quite good. To make money you have to be better than average. It's not much more complicated than that, you know how to solve slightly more complex problems than the average person knows how to solve. And that's where the average person, who is where the mass of people are, pays you to help them. Do you see where this is going? However, we live in a mediocre society, a society where people are putting in less and less effort, where people want everything people want everything faster, easier, people: those who want everything fast and easy and won't build great things, but I guarantee you they will pay a lot to those who do strive, work hard, and are a little above, either mentally, intellectually, or in terms of attitude, and these solve problems, and the masses pay this minority. So if you want to make money, you're going to have to think like these kinds of people, not like this guy here. You're going to have to put in the here. You're going to have to put in the effort, you're going to have to acquire knowledge that the average person doesn't have, okay? Knowledge is power, knowledge is money, and if you add attitude and and if you add attitude and mindset, you'll blow it up. Uh, no, it 's not much more complex. However, you have to put in the effort. Behind it all there is work, hours of learning, practice, making mistakes, getting up, getting frustrated, starting over and not giving up. And when you work hard and are consistent, and you put in the right attitude, and you also train yourself and pay attention to those who do it well, and you stop to those who do it well, and you stop criticizing and judging and focus on your own work, and if you also put a little bit of obsession into it, it's impossible not to be better than average. And when you're better than average, you make money. You earn money. Whether you're an entrepreneur because you're creating a business that people will pay to provide a service, or you 're a worker or employee, because when you're better than average you earn more because you're more indispensable than others. Obviously, there's also a mindset issue involved, uh, uh, if you don't dare to sometimes it's going to be difficult to get paid more, right? Because should have, and many want to save as much as possible, even though they don't realize that at some point things might break down. But mindset is what makes you earn more money too, you know, knowledge and attitude. too, you know, knowledge and attitude. Knowledge and attitude. It work and to want to work and to want to get off the couch and from time to time be able to tell a beer and tomorrow either and the day after tomorrow either because I have things tomorrow either because I have things that are more important to me. who earn a lot of money is that they are able to is that they are able to say no to short-term desires in order to build something that will improve their lives in the medium to long term. They are able to say no to, oh, I can't find the word, instant gratification. When you are able to control the desire for instant gratification, that's when you start to build great start to build great things, because great things are not built overnight and they don't produce results overnight. This is like when you plant seeds. Today you sow, tomorrow you water, the day after tomorrow you water, the day after that you water, then you wait, then you pull up, remove weeds, and then you water. And after a few months you start to harvest. Well, it's the same in life. You sow the seeds, acquire knowledge, practice, work, make mistakes, work again, and one work, make mistakes, work again, and one day, if you don't give up, the results will start to appear. But it's neither quick nor easy, and you certainly ca But it's neither quick nor easy, and you certainly ca And when you understand this, and saying it is easy, eh, the hard part is doing it, okay? But when you understand this and do it, do it, statistically it's impossible not to improve your life in every way. But anyway, today we're talking about money. It's impossible not to improve your life financially if you have this kind of attitude. That is mathematically impossible. Making money isn't that hard, is it? It 's not that difficult, but you have to work hard, you have to be clear about things, and you have to keep your ego under control, okay? And we were be a hater of people who make money, otherwise you'll never be one. Hm. I don't agree? Don't you agree? You feel like you're always looking for instant gratification and you don't feel like working. And in the end, that's it. Uh, there was a phrase I really like, it says, "Weak people I really like, it says, "Weak people and difficult times build strong people and build strong people and strong people build easy times." And the cycle begins again, and easy times build easy times build weak people. also happens in your life. In your life too. If you want an easy life, you'll have it , but don't complain later. There is but don't complain later. There is no magic. There is no magic. Uh, I do n't know, nothing to think about. And, here it is . Let me know what you think.
