Can Money Make You a Better Person? - Dean Graziosi

What if you got to a place where you never worried about money again? It was never a thought. You never woke up thinking about it. You never talked to your husband, your wife, your kids, your children, your friends, your aunts, your uncles, your cousins. Never even had a conversation about it. Just didn't think about it. Can money make you a better person? Well, that's one that we can argue now. First I said money solves problems. You guys might be able to stomach that. But now you're saying, Dean, alright, money doesn't make you a better person. No, but it can. You know, I always say, when people have money or drink, drink alcohol, it's like a magnifying glass. You get a bigger version of who they are. Like, I'm just being honest. If someone's obnoxious, broke or obnoxious when they're sober, you give them alcohol or money. They're super obnoxious. In some cases, you have someone who's a jerk without money or a jerk when they're sober, you give them some money or you give them some alcohol. Sometimes it's the magnifying glass. You know exactly what I'm talking about. Right? But that's, in my opinion, that's a rare case. Can money make you a better version of yourself? Okay, so let me ask you this. How much do you think about money? Like all the things I talk about. If money could cut a check for a problem, you guys put a lot of things down. What if you could cut a check for all of those things and they went away and you didn't feel choked by money anymore? What if. Let's just imagine here for a moment. What if. Okay, I want to envision, as a note, envision your future. Okay. What if you woke up tomorrow and the credit card was. The bill was done, the mortgage was paid off, there's money away for your kids, college, you're retiree, and there was enough money there. Mortgage problems, life problems, paying, retiring, your parents, making sure your kids were okay. All the things that we mentioned, I don't want to go through again. What if they were gone tomorrow morning? Can you feel that? Take a deep breath. As if that was gone tomorrow. Now, again, I'm not pitching anything here. I'm telling you, mindset starts the evolution of making more. This is not about me telling you how to get rich tomorrow morning. But you can't get wealthy or generate more money in life until you get this crap out of your head. I hope that makes sense to you. But what if they were gone tomorrow? What if you Got to a place where you never worried about money again. It was never a thought. You never woke up thinking about it. You never talked to your husband, your wife, your kids, your children, your friends, your aunts, your uncles, your cousins. You never even had a conversation about it. Just didn't think about it. Let me ask you. You're sitting in a room right now. Wherever you are, you're sitting someplace watching me. Whether live or watching, recording, you're watching me. When is the last time you thought about the oxygen in the room? When's the last time you went, wow, this air, really good. Glad to have it keeping me alive. My lungs are processing it. It's going through my bloodstream, feeding my brain. Glad my blood's oxygenized. No even thought about oxygen or air once since you've been watching me. Why? Because there's an abundance of it. You stop thinking about it. Give somebody a straw, a tiny little cocktail straw and try to breathe through that. All. All you would think about is oxygen. Squeeze someone's throat. The only thing you would think about is oxygen. We think about money because it's not all around us. It's not abundant. We're breathing through a little cocktail straw, right? So I want you to imagine tomorrow morning, you woke up, really think about this. Do this with me. You're waking up. How would you breathe? How would you feel? What weight would be off your shoulders if money was no longer something you thought about? You cut checks for the problems in your life and they're gone. And now you're left with you. You're left with you. How could you be a better version of yourself? Would you get more? Would you get therapy? Would you join a mastermind? Would you get a counselor? Would you get a coach? Would you get nutritionist? Someone to help you with your diet? Would you get a personal trainer? Would you spend more time in church or go deeper on your spirituality? How often would you exercise? Would you get some courses on how to be better in your relationship and stop screwing up the things that we mess up all the time? Would you be a better parent? Would you coach one of your kids or your grandchildren? Or would you take your nephew or niece someplace? Would you do more surprises? Would you stop being on your phone all the time? Would you stop being distracted in life? Could you work on your add? Could you work on your overwhelm? Could you work on the anxiety that you have that you don't even tell anybody you have? Could you work on the stress that you have that could slowly be eating away at you and Killing you. I'm not trying to do anything except give you a different mindset and a foundation to see that if you get money out of the way, there is a better version of you waiting. I want to tell you in my life, I get to coach my daughter's softball team. I get to coach my son's flag football team. I get to coach my son's baseball team. I get to go watch my daughter when she has dance. Either practice. I don't just go to games. I go to the practices. I just do. How long are they going to be here? They're 8 and 10. I'm going to blink and they're going to be gone. I'm sucking up as much as I can. I couldn't do that if I didn't. If I worried about money, my health. I'm going to be 50 next year. I'm in the best shape of my life. I'm not bragging, but I get to have a natural path. I get to study nutrition. I get to go to the best doctors. I get to work out every single day. If I want a personal trainer, I got one just like that. I get to work on me. I read a book every 10 days. I go to counseling. I'm friends with some of the most incredible people. Tony Robbins, Dr. Daniel. Amen. All these incredible people that I have in my life. I jump on a plane and go see them all the time because I want to gain their knowledge and their wisdom and I want to share what I've learned. So, so many things that I'm sharing with you. I'm blessed to hang. I mean, in four days from now, right behind the camera is my. Is my. Where I do my masterminds and I'm doing my genius X group where people pay me 100 grand to come in. They come in three times a year. All the stuff that I learn at that group or I learn out in the world, I bring to you. I bring to them. Right? I get to go do that. I'm a part of Masterminds. I give Dan Sullivan $25,000 a year. I give Joe Polish $25,000 a year. I give other people. I've spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on Masterminds to gain the wisdom. Because I'm not the guy that wants to go to colle years. Just give me a weekend. Give me all the stuff that works. I'll go freaking do it. I'm not the. I'm not the. I know the rabbit and the tortoise, right? I want to be the Rabbit and the tortoise combined. I want to go fast but steady and consistent. How do you do that? By being smart like you. And gaining unfair advantages from people who've done it before. The hardest way to learn in life is learning through your own trial and error. We know that's dumb, right? So I get to do those things. I get to work on. What about you? I get to work on finding what my purpose is, what charities I like, what makes me tick. You know, being in the second half of my life. Like, I want to know what the hell I'm here for. I want to know my relationship with God on a deeper level or my spirituality. I want to learn to meditate on a better level. I want to learn to have gratitude journals every day in my life and every night of my life. I want to do all these things. And when you get money out of the way, you're allowed to. How about helping others? Who do you want to help? Would you be a better version of yourself if you could cut checks or be a part, or jump on a plane and go dig a well in Africa or help lay the bricks of a school someplace or help rebuild in Houston or in Florida? Does that make you a better version of yourself? And what about growth? Like I said, how much knowledge would you get? Who would you pay to coach you? Who would you pay to be a part of? Right. Those are the types of things I want you to think about, is how could money make you a better version of you? Again, this is all foundational stuff. You know, if you're a part of any of my courses, my real estate course, how to make money online, or just getting the foundation of success, this is all the principles. But if you don't have this mindset, if you're carrying over a mindset from your parents or grandparents who, you know, went through the Depression, if you're carrying on, you know, negative beliefs and wrong beliefs about money, you'll just wonder, man, I was this close to making it so many times. Why am I still stuck in this job? Why did my friends get ahead? Why did he get ahead? She gets ahead. Why deans, other students get ahead? A lot of times it's as simple as your relationship with money. So I'll do a little exercise here, and this one I'm going to make up on the fly because I have some other things I want to talk about on how to make it. But I want to talk about some things for you. You know, if you're a part of my group, read my books, watched any of the previous trainings in here. I am huge on where it is. Do you want to go? What is your vision? So what I'd love for you to do right now is let's talk about money and get you feeling what it would be like to make more of it. And I'm not just share something here. This isn't about like the secret. I'm not dogging the secret. I think it inspired so many people, it's incredible. But I'm not just going to talk to you about, let's dream about what it feels like to make that money and it'll just come to us. It's not going to just come to you. I'm just telling you by experience. You can meditate on it, you can fantasize about it, you can think through it. You got to get those feelings and then use those feelings for gaining the knowledge and taking action. That's the best way I could describe it. But if you don't feel it first, you'll be afraid of the knowledge and afraid of the action and you'll sit on the sidelines and another opportunity will go by. Does that make sense? Okay, I want you to do this right now. Whether you have a piece of paper or not, I want you to think. At least think through it. Let's pretend it's a year from now and we just killed four beliefs. If it's a year from now and you realize money isn't scarce, you realize that you making money doesn't take it away from someone else. You realize that money does solve problems and you realize money can allow you to be a better version of yourself. If you can think through those glasses, take off the glasses of any negative feelings about money, any negative beliefs about money, or you're not rich enough, or you're not smart enough, or you don't have enough time, or you didn't go to enough college or money. It takes money to make money. If you throw all that crap away and you just put on these new glasses that we're talking about today and start thinking about it is one year from today and money is no longer an issue in your life. I'm not gonna even talk about how you're making it. That has nothing to do with it right now. I want you to just start thinking if money was. It's a year from now we're back here, we're still hammering away every month. We're doing these trainings and money's no longer an issue. Piece of paper on your phone or watch this again and do it if you're in a place where you can't write right now, what does your life look like if money is no longer an issue, something you think about, it's like the oxygen in this room. And I would just start writing down. What do you look like when you look in the mirror? Are you in the best shape of your life? What's your body look like? What's your confidence level like? What about when you walk in a room? What about when you're driving in your car? What do people see when they look at you? Do they think, oh, my God, did you get thinner, taller? Did you get a tan? You working out? Did you get plastic surgery because you look younger? How's your confidence, your quiet confidence? How's your courage level? How's your relationship like? What does your husband look at you like? Or how does your wife look at you? How do your kids look at you? How do you feel internally? Do you feel like the man of the house that took care of, like the woman who can take care of herself or take care of the whole family if you want to? How do your friends look at you? How do you feel? Feel like what you feel? I mean, I'm getting goosebumps talking about it. You wake up and you go, I'm not thinking about money anymore. What am I going to do today? Who are you helping? Who are you cutting checks for? What are you doing on a daily basis? How's the intimacy in your life? How's the passion? How healthy are you? Not just looking good in the mirror, but if your children or grandchildren want to run, you run a race with you. Can you go, grandma, Grandpa, mom, dad will do pretty good keeping up. I don't know what it is to you, but if you start fantasizing about it and you start setting a vision of where you want to go and not what you don't want, not what lack of money, not with trying to hold on to the last money you got, not standing on the sidelines, not being afraid, not thinking it's for other people. When you start realizing it's for you and you look through the lenses of what we're talking about today, what does that look like for you? And start writing those down right now. Just write them down or type them in your computer or do this exercise again. But it's a year from now and money is no longer an issue. Who are you allow yourself to feel that I don't know what you're going through right now. I don't know if you're in tough Pain. Going through a divorce, going through a bankruptcy. You feel like you're too old. You feel like you're too young. You feel like you live in the wrong place. You feel like, Dean, this is great for everybody else, but you don't understand what I'm going through. I don't know if that's what you believe, but I've been lucky enough to watch people from every walk of life, from everywhere in the world, starting with different backgrounds, starting with the most hellish past, some that break my heart. I could cry thinking about it. And when they got it, they just got it and started attracting money, started attracting relationships. Their first deal happened or their new business started. And a lot of it is this foundational stuff we're talking about right here, right now, today. So what does it look like? Tell me right now. Give me some comments. If it's a year from now and money is no longer an issue in your life, who are you? Tell me. Who are you? What do you look like? What do you feel like? Name a word. Are you courageous? Are you confident? Are you exhilarate? Are you excited? Are you enthusiastic? If you're feeling alive, if you get a better connection with. With God, is your spirituality on another level? Are you meditating? Are you waking up? What are you doing? Share. Let everybody else see. That's the kind of feeling I want you guys to have. Because when you start with that and then you gain the success components that are in my book, Millionaire Success Habits and my trainings and all the things we're sharing here, then when you plug whatever it is, real estate, your own business, online stock, whatever business you plug. On top of that, you have the opportunity for exponential growth. That's why people go, oh, my God, how did she start that new business? Six months ago and she's killing it. I've been wanting to do my own business for years because of this. Remember, 80% of your success lies in here. What's up? What's up? Hey, before you go, you need to watch these next few videos.
