A first-generation wealth builder shares how growing up broke didn't limit his mindset. He frames his entrepreneurial failures as training for resilience and argues that faith and conviction let you ignore external doubt and build wealth anyway.
Man, the curse breakers, the people that figured out wealth before anybody else in their family, the people that are forerunning wealth in their family. Nobody taught you, but yet you're still standing up for what matters, which is aggregating resources to do something meaningful in life. I want to shout those people out because they're actually trying. Unfortunately, in today's society and the way that people are, you're the first person in your bubble thinking really big, which will make everybody else around you very uncomfortable. It could be family, it could be friends. What I would say is that that is a sign that you're doing the right thing. I remember when I first talked about entrepreneurship ever in my life, I told my friends, they said I was crazy. I told my parents, they told me to go to school. And pretty much everybody around me was like, what are you doing? They thought I was actually crazy. These people are proof that a broke environment doesn't always mean a broke mind. Yes, your environment dictates how much money you make. We understand that, right? We've heard that so many different times from so many different people. It will make or break you in a lot of situations. But there's a point where, like, you do have to elevate out of anything where your mind just switches and it doesn't matter what somebody says. It doesn't affect you because you know who you are. Just remember, every great person that's done anything on this earth that is meaningful, that's genuinely meaningful, is the first person. They're always the first. And you are the first person to rewrite your bloodline. If you watch this video, it's because you probably are interested in money, crypto, and finance. There was years of failure as an entrepreneur. I remember even being broke and failing back to back over and over again. And, you know, at the end of the day, it was like training for my skill set. We know that because I was learning little things here and there and I was getting better as a physical entrepreneur. But it was also training for my mind because through this failure, I had to believe in either the lie that I couldn't make it, or I had to believe in the truth that it was going to happen eventually. And through that process, it was like almost like ironing and creating this structure of belief to where it did not matter what happened. I knew somehow, some way it was going to work out. And by the grace of God, that faith led into actuality in reality, in life. So it was like training for faith and belief in how God sees me.
