I studied Finance and I hate to break it to you but:

The less you focus on money the more money you make.

Here's how:
2
When money is a problem you think about it 24/7

This creates a scarcity mindset. You start to think everyone is trying to take from you.

So instead of investing in yourself you do the opposite.

Then you get trapped in your head & don't make progress with your money problem.

The wealthiest people don't buy index funds

Nope. They invest any money they make back into themselves. They know they're the best investment.

"It costs less to learn how to make $1M per year than it does to not know how to make $1M per year." – Alex Hormozi''

Invest in yourself.

1. Find one business model

There are proven business models that will get you to 6,7 & 8 figures.

Your job is to find the right one & commit to it.

Most people don't. They have shiny object syndrome. They bounce from one idea to the next

Most business ideas will work if you do the work for long enough.

2. Measure your progress

I use KPIs. Those KPI actions lead to money. So if I do the daily actions I will hit my income goal.

Measure your inputs & the output of money will become predictable.

3. Passive income is bulls*t at the start

Yet the gurus preach it. Sell books on Amazon and you'll get rich while you sleep, they say.

No you won't.

Build a real business now. Start talking to prospects and signing up clients.

If you don't have a business with clients, your income stream is likely fake or no better than the lottery.

Once a business gets rolling then there are options for passive income. But not before.

4. Most investing is just gambling

Some people spend their entire day looking for meme coins or underpriced stocks.

They think they're acting like Warren Buffet. It feels smart. Yet it's gambling.

If you're going in & out of the market more than once a month, you're probably gambling.

5. Create incremental income increases

Big paydays rarely happen and they f*ck your dopamine levels. Focus on steady income growth

As long as you're making more money than last month, you're doing well.

Do more of what makes money, less of what doesn't.

6. Buy back your time

Being rich is fine but most who make a lot of cash have no free time. That's not wealth.

Use money to make more money. Then use money to free up more time.

Then use the FU money to do whatever the heck you want day to day.

7. Thinking about money 24/7 is a mental illness.

It's why many billionaires have a mental health issue. They can't stop. They don't know the limit.

Money is always on their minds.

Real wealth is making enough money so your thoughts can stop being dominated by money.

8. Extreme wealth comes from obsession

When you're obsessed, what you do to make money doesn't feel like work.

So the more you stay obsessed and don't focus on money, the more money you make.

Obsession is rocket fuel for your net worth

Stop being lukewarm, piss-weak passionate.

Start being obsessed.
