Making Money is not about Luck

Obviously, we want to be wealthy
Then we want to get there in this lifetime without having to rely on luck

A lot of people think making money is about luck it's not A lot of people think making money is about luck it's not A lot of people think making money is about luck it's not
It's about becoming the kind of person that makes money
A lot of people think making money is about luck it's not A lot of people think making money is about luck it's not A lot of people think making money is about luck it's not
It's about becoming the kind of person that makes money
I like to think that if I lost all my money
And if you drop me on a random street in any English-speaking country within 5 or 10 years I'd be wealthy again right
Because it's just the skillset that I've developed and I think anyone can develop
You know in a thousand parallel universes
You want to be wealthy in 999 of them
You don't want to be wealthy in the 50 of them where you got lucky So, we want to factor a lock out of it
There are really four kinds of luck
Blind luck where I just got lucky because of things completely out of my control happened Fortunate fate etcetera
Then there's luck that kind of comes through persistence hard work, hustle, motion
Which is when you're just running around creating lots of opportunities
You generate a lot of energy
You're doing a lot of things lots of things will just get stirred up in the dust
It's almost like mixing a petri dish and seeing what combines
Or mixing about your reagents and see what combines
You just generate enough force and hustle and energy that luck will sort of find you
A third way is that you just become very good at spotting luck So, if you are very skilled in a field
You will notice when a lucky break happens in that field
Than other people who aren't attuned to it won't notice
So, you become sensitive to luck and that's through skill and knowledge and work

The last kind of luck is the weirdest heart is kind
But that's what we want to talk about which is where you build a unique character
A unique brand
A unique mindset where the luck finds you
Luck finds you
For example, let's say that you're the best person in the world at deep-sea underwater diving
And you're known to like take on Deep Sea underwater dives that nobody else will even attempt to dare And then by sheer luck somebody finds a sunken treasure ship off the coast they can't get at
Well their luck just became your luck because they're gonna come to you to get that treasure
And you’re going to get paid for it
Now that's an extreme example
But it is just showing how like the person who got lucky but find the treasure chest that was blind luck But them coming to you and asking you to extract it and having to give you half that's not luck
You kind of created your own luck
You put yourself in a position to be able to capitalize on that luck
Or to attract that luck when nobody has created that opportunity for themselves

When we talk about without getting lucky
We want to be deterministic we don't wanna leave it to chance
I don't think it's impossible
I think that you may have to work a little bit harder at it given your starting circumstances Remember I started as a poor kid in India right so if I can make it anybody can
Now obviously I had all my limbs and I had my mental faculties and I did have an education So, there are some prerequisites you can't get past
But if you're listening to this you probably have the requisite means at your disposal
Which is a functioning body and functional mind
And I have encountered plenty of bad luck along the way
First little fortune that I made I instantly lost on the stock market
The second I got cheated by my business partners
It's only the third time around as to the charm and even then, it has been a slow and steady struggle
I haven't made money in my life in one giant way out
It's always been a whole bunch of small things kind of piling up
So, it's more about consistently creating wealth by creating businesses and create opportunities and creating investment
It hasn't been like a giant one-off thing
My personal wealth has not been generated by one a big year It just sort of stacks up little bit chips at a time more options More businesses
More investments
More things I can do
It's going to be a long lifetime of learning of reading of creating that's just going to compound

So, we're talking about getting wealthy so you can retire so you have your freedom Not retired in a sense you don't do anything
But in the sense that you don't have to be anyplace
You don't want to be you don't have to do anything
You don't want to do and you can wake up when you want You can sleep when you want
You don't have a boss that's freedom
So, we're talking about enough wealth to get to freedom
And especially thanks to the Internet these days those opportunities are massively abundant I in fact have too many ways to make money
I don't have enough time
I literally have opportunities pouring out of my ears
And the thing I keep running out of is time
There's just so many ways to create wealth
To create products
To create businesses
To create opportunities
And as a by-product in my society that I just can't even handle it all
