Nurture your millionaire dream now

You need to start planting the seeds today. I remember growing up as a kid and I would go over to my great grandma's house and she would have just like in this background right here, all sorts of trees and all sorts of plants. And they were big trees, you know, like, they were huge. Like, there's actually some big pine trees over here. They were big pine. They were like big trees, just like those pine trees over there. And they were everywhere. I think they had like 200 trees at this place. And what's funny is it's in the middle of like farmland and like there's farms all around and then there's just this house that was like a park in the middle of the desert of farms and off, honestly, out in the end. So it was like this oasis that was built, like I said, in the middle of the desert. And how it started was she actually, you know, she lived a great life, but she just passed away, I think, like two weeks ago, three weeks ago. And I've had a lot of time to reflect on her life and, and how that symbolizes into my life and who I am and how, you know, I can learn from it. And talking about it, like talking with family and everything, they were talking about the story of her planting these trees. And so her and my great grandfather, they lived in a town. I think they, you know, they had their first little house, which I think inevitably became a bank inside of the small, little town. And then they moved out and started up a farm and started kind of. They started having a ton of kids. I think they had like seven kids or something like that, eight kids. And so they moved out and started up a farm and they started building this house. They built it by hand. They built it themselves. It's like today where you hire a developer. They did it themselves. And when they did that, they, they had, they bought all these little seeds or I think they. The story goes is they had this deal where they were giving away trees and they're. So my great grandfather went to the store and he went, picked up all these trees. He brought his big. He hooked up the trailer, put it on the truck, started driving over to the. Over to the place where they're giving away the trees. And they shows up ready to, you know, take on all these trees and fill it up into the back. And it turns out they were just like little potted trees. They were just, you know, like an inch tall or something like that. And so he realized that he didn't need this big ass trailer that he brought to pick up all the. All the plants on the trees. And so he took it home and they started planting them everywhere. There was apple trees, they had weeping willows, they had pine trees, they had oak, like aspen trees. They had. I think there's like 10, 15 different types of trees that they planted all over the property. And, you know, they would go out and they would water it every single day. I think they eventually kind of planted grass everywhere. And over the span of 30, 40, 50 years, it became a park. It became like there's this big, huge grass lot. You're surrounded by trees, a park, an oasis in the middle of the desert. Desert. And that got me to thinking, what are the. What are the seeds? What are the plants that I need to start planting today and start nurturing? So that way my future self and the person that I am becoming is able to reap the rewards and reap the benefits and live in the oasis in the middle of the desert. What are the. What are the things I. The constant daily actions that I need to continuously do to go and have myself best set for success in the future? And so for me, one of those things that I realized was building businesses and creating content every single day that aligns with the two things. First of all, to set up for my future self, I realized the best income source that I could ever create would be to invest in myself and start my own business. And then I realized that if I ever want to start something else in the future, then I need to have a brand and I need to have an audience and I need to have, like a starting ground, a foundation for me to build on. And so that's where you see me uploading videos and uploading content, creating content very continuously and sharing that and realizing those are the. That's the seeds that I need to plant and I need to nurture and I need to water and I need to curate. Despite the weather, despite what's happening, you know, despite the. Despite the travels, despite what's going on in my life, how can I continuously nurture those things every single week and being consistent with it? So that way, inevitably, when it does matter and when I want to. When I want to do other things, I already have it all built up. And so that's the question for you. What are those things in your life that you need to start planting, planting the seeds on and to start doing right now, so then you can continuously start to nurture it. So when it is time to reap benefits or when you need to monetize, or when you need to to when you need to leverage this thing that you built or when you want to, when it's time for you to elevate to your next stage in your development and your process and your growth. You already have it all established, you already have it all built out. And it's, you know, you're just harvest season, it's, it's, it's wreaking the benefits, it's wreaking the rewards. Just as a farmer goes and plants the seeds and in the summer, when the summer comes, then they are able to harvest, they're able to have a larger harvest based off of their pre planting and there's them planting more seeds. And so how can we apply this? So first of all, we want to ask ourselves, what is it that we want in life? What is it? What are the things that we are working towards? What are the goals? Who is the person that we're trying to become? I want you to take 5, 10 minutes today to write that out. Like if just you could have whatever it is in your life. It just, let's call it the, you know, you can be a delusional dreamer person that people think is a weirdo for, you know, 20 minutes writing everything down that if, if it was possible you would take it like you would love to have that thing or whatever it is. And so write it all out. Is it like you want a Ferrari, you want to buy your mom a house, you want to go on a trip to, you want to go on a trip to Indonesia or Thailand or London and go do live your best life or whatever it is, or go on like a six month excursion traveling the world, you want to go climb Mount Everest, whatever it is. I recommend all my students to do this right out. Like when they join my programs and they join fca, I always have them start with like, start with the end in mind. Where is it that we're going? Why are we doing this thing? Why are we building this YouTube channel? Why are we building this business? What is the purpose of all this and what is the thing that we are essentially working towards? Because without a, without a Polaris or a North Star, us as navigators, it's going to be kind of hard to, it's kind of be kind of hard to know what is the thing that we're working towards? What is the guiding light? So figure out what that is, write it down. And then what we want to do is ask ourselves what are the three to five things that we can do that will get us there? Like break, chunk it down. So so if we want to have, let's say we'll just use the house as an example is okay, so if in order for me to get a house, I need to be making, let's say $20,000 a month. So in order for me to make $20,000 a month, then what I need to do is if I'm building, like I need to find a business or a vehicle that allows me to get to $20,000 a month in a reasonable time frame that doesn't take 40 years to do that. So for my example, I always do is like building faceless YouTube channels. So if I need to, like, if for a YouTube channel to make $20,000 a month purely off ad revenue, then I need to have about 4 million views a month. If I have a $5 RPM, I get 5 paid $5,000 per thousand views. That means I get paid $5,000 for every million views I get. So If I get 4 million views a month, 4 times 5, that's $20,000 a month. So I need to get the 4 million views a month and consistently do that. So now that you've done the math and you figured out what is it? Or let's say that it's product sales, let's say if I have a thousand dollar product, I need to be at $20,000 a month, I need to sell 20 products. That's it. You don't need to send sell a million, you just need to sell 20. There's 7 billion people on this planet and you can definitely, you know, find 20 of those 7 billion people and sell something to them. So write it out. What is the math? 20 people, that's not that crazy. There's a lot of people with a thousand dollars. So if you can do 20amonth, whatever that is, a year, that's 240 people a year. You can definitely find 240 people a year to, to help you make 20 grand a month. And then now, okay, so we do the math. Okay, we need to get 4 million views on YouTube, we need to do 20 sales. Now let's go find someone that's already doing this. Instead of trying to be, you know, original, let's go find someone to emulate. Let's go find somebody that's already doing this. So on YouTube, go find like if you use Vidiq or Social Blade, you can go and see how many views a month people are getting and kind of guess how much money they're making. So we want to go out there into the marketplace and find people that are already doing this. If we're trying to sell 20 units of a product that is a thousand dollars, we need to go find someone else with a thousand dollar product that's probably selling 20 units themselves and see what they're doing. In the, in the marketer world, they call it funnel hacking. You know, you go in, opt into their stuff, see exactly what they're doing, take pictures of everything, write everything down, see why they're doing it, how they're doing it. YouTube channels, watch all the videos, break it down, write it down what they're doing, like study the content, like just, you know, break down their entire process, write down their ideas, get it to the point where you as an outsider can reverse engineer what they're doing and just recreate exactly what they're doing. Now you have a blueprint, now you have a game plan. Now you have the blueprint to getting to 20 grand a month. So what you want to do next is then just start chunking it down to what are the first steps. So for a YouTube channel, you gotta come up with the ideas first. Okay, let's write out 10 ideas. Start there. You don't have to do 100. You do. Or five. Write up five ideas. 10 ideas, five. And start after writing the five, 10 ideas. Ask yourself, are these good? Is this something this channel would upload? Don't just, you know, steal the ideas, but ask yourself, what is something that they would make once you have it written down? Now we got to start writing the script. Okay, they wrote the script this way, I'm gonna write the script this way. So you gotta write the script now you gotta do the voiceover now you gotta edit the video. Or if you're gonna outsource it, you just gotta go hire the people. Go find the people that are able to do each of these parts for you, which is what I teach inside of my program. But what you want to do is you want to go find people. You go on websites like Upwork, Fiverr, Reddit, you go on to Twitter, go find the people that are doing these, maybe even reach out to the YouTubers themselves and see if they can pass you their team or see if they are for hiring. You can hire them to make your videos, their videos for you. And then what you'll do is you'll just set a goal for how many videos you got to upload. Typically, I found with YouTube channels, you know, you got to be around like 100 videos or so to be making 20 grand a month. It can happen sooner, it can happen longer. But Just start there. Okay. Like, first, let's get our first five videos out. Then let's shoot for, let's say our first 20, then our first 50, then our first hundred. And instead of, like, tracking, like, how much money we're making as, like, the thing as to our success, instead let's track progress. Let's track how far are we actually going. Is it that we got to our first. You know, we got our first five video. We got our first video up. Yeah. Let's celebrate. Maybe got 10 views, but, hey, you're further along than what you would have been previously. Or, you know, maybe it's like, okay, cool, I got 100 views on my video. Hell, yeah. I got a thousand views. Hell, yeah. And it's just compounding those little small wins and those little victories over time. And inevitably over time, bit by bit, chunk it down. You will be at your goal. It may take you a little bit longer than what you think may not happen in, like, two months, three months, but six months a year. Two years. Three years. If it takes you three years to get to 20 grand a month, would it have all been worth it? If it takes 36 months or whatever, 24 months, two years of you working hard every single day, and at the end of it, you're making 20 grand a month, would it have been all worth it? If you're not making 20 grand a month right now online, I would say, fuck, yeah. That's super worth it. Yeah. It took two years, but now you're richer than, like, 99% of the world after just two years. Most people, it takes, like, eight years of. 12 years of college and hundreds of thousands of dollars of debt to get to that point and to just work a job and to be working for somebody else and to have an income, a cap on their income potential. I had some students that joined my program that were trying to figure out how to generate money online, but they were. They. They had a. They had a salary of $550,000 a month, and their husband had a. A salary of like, a half a million dollars a month as well. So they're making a million dollars a year off of salary. The thing that sucks about salary is you're getting, like, half of that or like, 40% of that taken from you. So, yeah, maybe they're making a million dollars a year, but 400,000 of it, they never saw they had to pay taxes, so they were really only getting 600,000 a year. So they're basically making, between the two of them, like $50,000 a month sounds good, right? But you have to work holidays, you have to work on the days that you don't want to work. You have to, you know, you don't get to. You get to go travel to Aspen and go do those cool things, but you don't get to really live life on your own terms. You're stuck on that. You're stuck there for at least 20, 30 years before you can even consider retiring for most of the people. And then also you have to live in a. Probably a nicer area or you have higher lifestyle costs because most people, they. They inflate their lifestyle costs with the income and they can't go to $5 million a year, $10 million a year, because they're capped because they have to work for somebody else. So the luxury is, once you start making $20,000 a month, the income potential is unlimited. I have friends that make $300,000 a month with baseless YouTube channels or with their thing, or I also have friends that do a million dollars a month with their products. I know people with YouTube channels that make a million dollars a month. The income potential is unlimited. And also what's cool, you can work as much as you want. You get to work as many hours as you want, whatever. So the main thing is you want to ask yourself, what is, what are the seeds that you need to plant? You know, this tree right here was planted probably not that long ago, probably within like the last, like six years or so, last eight years it was planted. Slowly it's getting watered and it's getting bigger and bigger until inevitably it can become like these trees where they have lots of shade and they're able to provide shade for the future generations to come and the future version of this property. So what are the seeds that you can plant today? Then ask yourself, well, first of all, ask yourself, what's the goal? What's the vision? Where do you want to be 5 years, 10 years, 20 years? What do you want that to look like? Then ask yourself, what are the ways to get there? What are the vehicles that are possible right now in this world, currently in this reality that we live in, that are possible to do that? Then what are other people? How are other people doing it right now? What is the strategy? What's the process that's working right now? Go find it. Then how can we reverse engineer that process and do it for ourselves? Once we have that, how can we chunk it down, come up with a game plan, apply a blueprint, set milestones, set goals, show up every single day be consistent, get better, get more productive, get 1% better every single day, and we will be where we want to be. So as my great grandma did, start planting the seeds today. So that way your kids and your future generations are able to are able to experience and enjoy the fruits of the labor that you put in because you decided to start planting the seeds today instead of being the person that didn't plant the seeds and totally rob that future generations or the future self from that experience of being able to enjoy, to be able to enjoy what that vision was. Start planting the seeds today.
