The number one difference I noticed between who I was at three k and 40 k and what I see in my friends or other people online that are trying to make money before they succeed and after they succeed or if they don't succeed is this really interesting topic, and it evolves over time. It is their work to reward ratio. Like, do they and it's it's not a it's an ignorance problem. It's by no means an effort problem. If do they actually understand that what they want in life, pick a number or a lifestyle, if they are putting in the amount of work to get it? I think this is absolutely crucial. Alex Smosey talks about this all time. He says the only thing that pisses him off is when people think that they want a certain lifestyle, but they're fooling themselves by working significantly less than what it takes. And he says, my advice is not for everyone. Like, he says, hey. Don't talk to anybody for five years. Like, the lonely chapter. Like, go ham. So that's only if you wanna build, you know, a 10,000,000 plus business. I I'm putting words in his mouth now. But that concept is what separated me from two years ago. I tricked myself into thinking I was doing enough. I thought that playing video games for two to three hours a day was fine. I thought that sleeping until eight was fine. I thought that, you know, taking some days off was fine. You think that these aren't that big of a deal, but you you don't understand how a few hours a day will change your life over time. Like, you're underestimating what you can do in a year whenever you are shaving three to five hours off of your day with, like, rank. That you you've convinced yourself that it's fine. Oh, you no, I'm with my friends. You know, I'm doing this. I gotta have work life balance. Like, that's all great, but you're you're fooling yourself. And you have to true champions, true people who, like, really succeed worst if I put in this amount of time, I'm gonna get get this reward. And if I want this reward, then I have to put in this amount of time. Here's an example. I won a state championship in wrestling my senior year, and it was the worst thing that ever happened to me. I did not work hard enough to win that state championship. I got lucky. The number one ranked guy moved away class. There was an injury. And I went to college on a wrestling scholarship. No a scholarship. Excuse me. My first year wasn't a scholarship. I went to college to wrestle d one, and I thought that I knew how hard I had to work to be good, and I was so wrong. My roommates, I'm not gonna exaggerate here, probably worse close to 600% harder than me, six times harder than me. And they still weren't even reaching the goals that I thought that I was gonna reach with my current work ethic. Changed my life watching these guys grind so hard for a year, two years, three years, and me thinking that I was gonna achieve more than them with way less of the worse. And I see this right now with my friends. Like, they they wanna, like, make, you know, a ton of money, in a short amount of time, but they always wanna golf. They wanna go to the gym a ton. They there's so much stuff. There's so many other things that they wanna do, and it's like, I didn't worse out for nine months. Because if you work out three to four times a week, you got thirty minutes to the gym, fifteen minutes to the gym, an hour at the gym, fifteen minutes to clean up with the shower, fifteen minutes back. You gotta eat afterwards. Well, all two hours. That's eight hours a week, eight hours a week, over nine months, twenty tier, public math. I don't even wanna do it. That it's actually 36 times four. It's a hundred and twenty hours. You have no idea what in the hell you can do in a hundred and twenty hours. Okay? Now you can't do it forever. You can't do it forever. Right? That's why now I sprinted for nine months. I got to a place where I wanna be. I didn't spend a ton of time as much with my family. That's one thing I wasn't willing to super compromise. I still spent a good amount of time with my family. That's why I'll never be nine figures, I don't think. I don't think I'll ever hit nine figures because I'm not willing to. I no this is proving the point. I I feel like I might have a level of work to reward ratio, and I'm still so ignorant on this. Like, I don't even know. But the idea of, to nine figures, I probably have to sacrifice more with my family than I actually worst. And I would much rather spend a ton of time with my family and make eight figures than trim more than I want over here and make nine. And some people, that's totally fine. Like like, they have a family who they who they think that it's okay. Like, they they everyone is aligned. Everyone knows that this is the mission that we're going forward with. I'm ranting so hard now, but the odds are you have just just just tell yourself that you have an issue with this. Like, convince yourself. Don't try to defend this. Don't try to justify this away. Instead, try to convince yourself that it's true, and then only good things happen. Convince yourself that it's true that you have a bad work to reward ratio, that you think you're ignorant about the amount of work that you're putting in and the reward that it will better. And it will change your life. And what happens is it grows over time. You get around more successful people, and you see their work ethic. You start to see your own results. Okay. Wow. Holy cow. I put in a hard week, and I got a good result. That's really interesting. I wonder if I need to do that more. I wonder if I need to do that more. It's not luck, guys. Good. It's not luck. I mean, there is luck. There is some luck. It's 90% work and skill. 10% luck. That's all.
