A billionaire at a rare-earths mine near Barcelona wore coveralls while his executives wore suits. Warren Buffett still drives an old pickup truck. Real wealth doesn't announce itself through brands or flashy clothes.
There's things that successful people do that will stun you. Let me tell you a quick story about this. I was just outside Barcelona going to a rare earths mineral mine, and a gentleman walked up to me, and everyone is in suits except for one guy. One guy looked like he should have been the worker, and one of the suit guys said to me, do not ignore the guy in the coveralls. I was like, okay. So we go back to the guy's office with all these suits. Sitting at the main table was the guy in the coveralls, the owner of the rare earths mine, multi-billionaire, It taught me a lot about really, really successful people. Most successful people aren't the ones carrying Gucci bags and the most flamboyant. The ones that I've got to meet are the ones that are most down to earth. In fact, it's not in the words they say, it's in how they show up. And I've been a big student of Warren Buffett for years. Buffett still drives around in his old pickup truck. At the end of the day, a lot of people that have fancy stuff, I'm not saying everyone, that fancy stuff is what they want to be, not who they are. The guys that really know how successful they are already don't show up that way because they know they get treated differently. They just want to be treated for who they truly are. So when you become successful, show up for the way you want to be treated, not for the way you think you should be treated.
