You Don’t Need a Job To Make Money

Security in a corporate job doesn't exist anymore.

The safe job is about to be unsafe.

So far this year, companies have cut more than 800,000 jobs. That's the highest number we have seen since the pandemic.

A major West Michigan company plans to cut hundreds of jobs tonight. Grand Rapids-based AccraSure is telling us that artificial intelligence is replacing actual employees.

Over 80% of students feel they learn nothing about entrepreneurship in school, even though most want to start their own businesses.

The only non-gamble in life is going on offense, and you've been taught that going on offense is the gamble because the school system was literally created to create factory workers.

Our school systems teach us nothing about money. Nothing. It's pathetic.

So at 25, I recommitted to my education, but this time I started studying not things that were in books, but people that had actually created wealth.

Sticking to a traditional career path limits your impact. That keeps you miserable and stops you from sharing your unique genius with the world. My sense is that even for the kids that get into the elite colleges at this point, it's like you've passed some Mandarin examination in China, but you're just so exhausted, you're never gonna do anything more with the rest of your life. You're burned out at 18. You take a calculated risk to start a company, realizing you may forgo a couple of years of steady income in another job. And whatever else, that's a great risk to take. And if you don't take that risk, I think you have a very high chance that you end up regretting that. Where are you gonna spend your time and your energy is one of the most important decisions you get to make in life. When I was 19, I had the hardest choice to make. I was in university and I had a job offer for a safe, six-figure investment banking job. It was a job everybody wanted, but I also had a chance to own 30% of a biotech software making only $300 a month. And I picked a startup. I chose to struggle, eat beans for lunch, because the thought of sitting in a cubicle doing work I hated scared me more than being broke. I knew I had to take control of my own income. Think about Colonel Sanders. At 65 years old, he had a tiny $105 Social Security check. He didn't go looking for a greeter job at a local store. He took his chicken recipe, hit the road, and slept in his car. He faced 1,009 rejections before finally someone said yes to his franchise idea.. He proved that you can create massive wealth at any age just by owning your own ideas instead of working for someone else. Brian Chesky and Joe Gebbia couldn't pay their rent in San Francisco. They didn't rush out to get safe, normal jobs. Instead, they put 3 air mattresses on their floor and charged people to sleep there during a local design conference. That simple idea turned into Airbnb. They created a $100 million company because they look for a creative way to solve a problem instead of looking for a safe corporate salary. And right now you might be thinking that you need thousands of dollars in the bank to start making your own money. You think you need rich parents or some giant loan to succeed, and that's not true. Colonel Sanders was broke at 65. Airbnb started with 3 cheap air mattresses. You don't need money to make money. You just need a problem to solve and the courage to take the first step. I'm going to show you exactly how to start generating your own income from scratch right now. If you've been here before, drop a hashtag #believe in the comments below so I can feature you here in a future video. And if you're new, welcome to Believe Nation, the only channel that helps you believe in yourself daily, one video at a time. Believe. Solve your own biggest problem. To make money without a job, you've got to realize where value actually comes from. You get paid for bringing value to other people. The absolute easiest way to bring value is to look directly at your own life, your Your purpose comes from your pain. Whatever you struggle with the most is exactly what you want to help other people overcome. So think about your past. If you had a hard time getting fit and you figured out a system that works, that system is your new business. If you struggle with anxiety and found a way to manage it, that method, that's your business. You don't need a fancy business degree to make this happen. You just need to be one step ahead of the person that you're trying to help. Over 62% of billionaires are totally self-made, meaning they've created their wealth by solving real problems, not by inheriting cash. People pay you to solve their problems because they desperately want to skip the pain that you have already went through. You're selling speed and convenience. If you can help someone skip 5 years of painful trial and error, they pay you for that shortcut. So don't think you need to invent the next big tech platform to be successful. Look at the local business in your town. They need help with their marketing, their accounting, their daily operations. They've got massive problems right now. You can step in and help fix those problems. When you focus entirely on serving others and solving their actual pain points, you stop acting like an employee begging for a simple paycheck, and you start acting like a true entrepreneur commanding a premium price. You stop handing out weak resumes and start handing out powerful solutions for problems. The simple shift in your mindset changes everything. You go from hoping that a boss picks you to knowing that the market desperately needs you. So you've got to stop looking for a company to hire you and start looking for a person to help. The money will always follow the value you provide. So if you fix a $100 problem, you make a little bit of money. If you fix a $1,000 problem, you you make a lot more money. It's simple. Your job right now is to identify the most expensive problem you know how to solve and then go find the exact people who are crying out for that exact solution. But finding a problem is only the first step because your surroundings might be secretly destroying your chances of success. Change your environment to change your mind. Your current environment is perfectly designed to keep you exactly where you are right now. So if your friends all have traditional jobs, they'll constantly tell you, to get a safe job. They aren't trying to hurt you. They just don't understand your big vision. Research shows that you're up to 61% more likely to adopt the exact habits and mindsets of the people closest to you. So if you want to make your own money, you must change your daily environment. You've got to completely shut out the negativity, limit your access to people who doubt you, and fill that empty space with extreme positivity and the specific messages you actually want to hear. So if you can't find supportive friends in your own town yet, go find them online. Read powerful books, listen to great podcasts, watch amazing YouTube videos from the exact people who are already doing what you want to do. I started my YouTube channel because I wanted to surround myself with some of the greatest minds in history. I wanted Steve Jobs and Warren Buffett in my ear every single morning. I wanted their intense ambition to rub off on me. You've gotta be incredibly intentional with your daily morning routine. Don't wake up and immediately scroll through toxic social media or the depressing news. Start your day with content. That makes you believe in yourself. When you consume greatness daily, it starts to feel completely normal. Soon the idea of settling for a boring cubicle will feel totally insane to you. You'll begin to think bigger, act faster, expect so much more of yourself. You can literally rewire your entire brain for massive success just by changing what you look at and who you listen to every single day. So treat it like a garden, right? Your mind is a garden. If you plant negative seeds, you'll grow a massive negative life. If you plant seeds of belief, you'll grow a massive awesome empire. You've got to Ruthlessly protect your focus. So stop giving your attention to things that make you feel small and start obsessing over the ideas that make you feel powerful. The moment you change your inputs, the outputs will transform forever. But once you fix your surroundings, you need a system to actually get you moving, which brings us to the simple 2% trick. Use the 2% rule to build massive momentum. The biggest thing you're missing right now is just momentum. You're sitting on a truly great idea, but you haven't taken any real action. You're constantly overthinking it. You want everything to be 100% perfect, before you finally launch. You want the perfect logo, the perfect website, the perfect business plan. Stop doing that. Perfectionism is just you being afraid. Studies reveal that perfectionism actually decreases your productivity and increases severe mental burnout. You don't need a perfect plan. You just need to execute the first 2%. If your goal is to write a book, best-selling book, the first 2% is writing just one single page. If your goal is to start a massive YouTube channel, awesome. The first 2% is pulling out your phone and recording your first really messy video. Don't worry about step 100. Just focus completely on step number 1. Take the absolute smallest, easiest action right now. Once you take that first step, your brain, it gets a— it's a quick win. And that quick win builds confidence, and that confidence creates momentum. So when I wrote my book about momentum, I didn't plan it out for long months. I just started typing furiously. The physical action itself creates the energy you need to keep going. So waiting around for the perfect moment, what does it do? It guarantees that you'll wait forever. Action cures fear every single time. When you're moving forward, you simply don't have the time to sit there and doubt yourself. So don't let your greatest ideas die just silently here in your head. Put them out into the real world. Start messy, start small, but you've absolutely got to start. When? Today. It doesn't matter if your first attempt looks crazy, ridiculous. The only thing that matters is that you aren't just standing still anymore. You're finally in the game. Every massive company started as some tiny, flawed little experiment. You are no different. So push through the hesitation, click publish, make the call, and watch how quickly your life begins to change. Now that you're moving, though, you've got to prepare yourself for the hardest phase of all. And this is where almost everyone quits. Also, if you want to take real action after this video, I made a free worksheet just for you. It covers the top lessons from today, gives you space to write your biggest takeaways, and helps you build a simple action plan. It's 100% free. Just click the link in the description, go grab it. I'll see you there. Expect to be terrible at first. So now you've got to accept a really harsh reality. Your first attempt at anything new is going to be absolutely terrible. Your first product will have tons of flaws. Your first, uh, video will be incredibly embarrassing. Your first major sales call will feel completely awkward, and that is completely normal. Everyone starts out at the bottom. You just don't see the messy, hidden starts. Data shows that it takes roughly 10,000 hours of deliberate practice to truly master any complex skill. You can't skip the struggle. When I first started on YouTube, I was completely terrified. I was shy, quiet, introverted. I did not like being on camera. It took me 350 videos before I wasn't completely embarrassed to watch myself back, and 700 public videos before I actually felt inspired by one piece of content that I made. And I made absolutely hundreds of terrible videos. You can go back and watch them, but I kept going anyway. Most people just quit because they tried 5 times and they expected to be world-class immediately. They let the ego stop you from making actual progress. So the fact that you're willing to try and be terrible becomes an actual secret advantage. So embrace the highly awkward phase. Look at your early failures as data, and that's going to be part of your story as you climb. Every single time you fail, you learn exactly what not to do the next time. Will be an inspiration to others. If you can handle looking foolish for a little while, you'll eventually become completely unstoppable. The only real failure in life's quitting before you get good. So you've got to give yourself permission to be a total beginner. Stop comparing your chapter 1 to somebody else's chapter 20, right? Your journey is your journey, and that is Okay, so put in the boring reps, do the unglamorous work. The mastery that you want is waiting on the other side of 1,000 terrible attempts. And once you survive that awkward phase, you can speed up your results by borrowing the exact blueprints of people who've already won. Model the massive success of others. You don't need to figure out all of this on your own. This is one of the biggest mistakes that I made early on. You don't have to reinvent the wheel to make a massive fortune. The smartest entrepreneurs study the exact people who've already won and simply model their success. So if you want to build a $100,000 consulting business, find someone who already did exactly that. Study their public website, look at their specific pricing, see exactly how they talk to their premium clients, then thoughtfully apply those same proven principles to your own unique style. According to the Small Business Administration, businesses that receive direct mentoring and strictly model proven strategies are 2 times more likely to survive their first 5 difficult years. When my first business was struggling, I felt completely lost. I had no real idea how to turn things around. Then I decided to intensely study a highly successful software company, Microsoft, because I had a software company. I looked at how they operated, looked at how they got their first clients, not how they make an extra million now. I didn't steal or copy them, but I learned directly from Bill Gates's powerful framework. That single focus decision saved my entire company. Success always leaves clues. There's a roadmap out there for you to do whatever you want and achieve whatever you want. You just have to be humble and curious enough to actively go and follow it. So read the biographies of great leaders. Watch the long-form interviews of the performers that you look up to and respect. Find the hidden patterns in their daily behaviors and then creatively adapt them to your situation. Why would you spend 10 years making deeply painful mistakes when you can learn from someone else's expensive experience in just 10 days or 10 hours? So be an aggressive student of greatness and your path to financial independence will be so much faster. You don't lack the ability, you just lack the right model. So find your ideal model, study them relentlessly, build your own blueprint for your special flavor. And then when you've got the right model, you need the right people. And there's a specific way to get the most powerful CEOs to take your call. Build real relationships instead of fake followers. So most people think that making money online means you definitely need millions of random followers, right? You think that you need to go incredibly viral to succeed and That's a massive and actually dangerous distraction. You don't need a million casual subscribers to make a million dollars. You just need deep, highly meaningful relationships. Don't worry about the vanity metrics. They will constantly waste your time. Instead, focus on direct business development through high-value connections. One of my favorite strategies, what we teach inside our Movement Makers program, is a business development show. It's a dedicated interview show. Don't constantly cold call potential clients. Warmly invite them onto your show to share their story. People love talking about themselves. When you feature them prominently, they feel valued and you built a relationship. Statistics clearly show that 84% of B2B sales start exactly with a warm referral or strong existing relationship. When you interview someone, you spend real focused time with them. You build authentic trust with them. That genuine trust turns into lucrative partnerships, massive referrals, highly paying clients. It literally doesn't matter if your new channel only has 200 total subscribers. We're going after people who have high demand, but low media demand. You're coming in as media right now and you can get top industry leaders who built multimillion-dollar networks. So don't worry about the random clicks and start aggressively chasing real conversations. Add massive value to the exact people that you desperately want to work with. Feature their deep expertise. Ask them incredibly great questions. Do your research before you have them on. Give them a beautiful platform to share their story. When you actively become a super connector and a supporter the big money naturally follows you everywhere you go. Your network is truly your actual net worth. So start building it deliberately and strategically today. Stop worrying about the algorithm and start obsessing over the actual human beings you want to serve. And building that network takes extreme focus, which means you've got to completely change how you manage your 24 hours. Make every single day truly count. Your limited time is your absolute most precious asset. If you want to permanently escape the endless job cycle and build your own incredible life, you've got to maximize your specific daily actions. So you wake up every morning with a clear intention. Make today truly count. Before you hit your head, your tired head on the pillow tonight, do one specific thing that moves you significantly closer to your dream. Make one beautiful piece of art. Send one highly important email. Record one incredibly helpful video. Create something today that you desperately want your future grandkids to see. Research strongly indicates that completing just one highly meaningful task a day significantly boosts your overall life satisfaction and guarantees long-term success. To make real time for that meaningful work, you've got to ruthlessly manage your busy schedule. You must eliminate, automate, or delegate absolutely everything else. If a specific task doesn't directly serve your core mission, stop doing it. If a basic computer program or AI can do it, awesome. Automate it immediately. If someone else can do something significantly cheaper, hire them right away. Don't waste your unique genius on boring busywork. Focus only on the high-level tasks that actually move the big needle forward. When you finally take control of your daily time, you instantly take total control of your personal income. You stop hopelessly trading hours for a flat, boring salary and start aggressively trading massive value for huge financial returns. You already have absolutely everything it takes to build a beautiful life of total freedom. You just have to firmly decide that you're ready to step up and claim it. And this brings us to the absolute most important truth of all. And it's something that I hope that you remember every single morning when you wake up. Your belief is your ultimate superpower. You are entirely capable of building a massive life on your own terms. So trust your vision, take the messy action, and never let fear make your decisions for you. And congratulations, you're one video closer to who you're meant to be. Believe. Now let's learn how to make money from billionaires. The fastest way to make money has absolutely nothing to do with finding the perfect business idea.

In life, you get handed these things. It's not perfect.

You know, even today, people want to be handed something perfect.

Imagine you said the first thing that you write has to be in Hollywood, the first song that you write has to be at the top of the Billboard charts. That's the problem, that we have these overamplified views.

Perfectionism doesn't advance anything, ironically.

After studying billionaires for over 1,000 hours, I found that your ability to create wealth is entirely based on how quickly you can make decisions.

Always better to make a decision and be wrong than be afraid to make a decision. So not making a decision is, is like a guaranteed wrong answer. If you take a long time to make a bad decision, you're going to take a long time to unwind it. Most decisions should be made by single individuals, but they need— and, and done quickly, in the full understanding that you can always change your mind.

If you keep waiting for the right moment to start, you will spend the rest of your life watching other people live out your dreams while you stay exactly where you are.

Strategy is not words. Strategy is action.

When are you going to do it? When are you going to do it? You've got to create a sense of urgency. I'm going to do it right now.

I learned from so much doing. It's why a lot of good things happen for me, because I realize just the doing is actually more efficient than the thinking about it.

Richard Branson was in his 20s and stuck in an airport because his flight to the Virgin Islands was canceled. Most people just sat there complaining and waiting for the airline to fix the problem. Branson didn't wait. He immediately called a charter company, booked a private plane, and wrote Virgin Airlines $39 on a whiteboard. He walked around the terminal, filled the plane with his fellow stranded passengers, and made his money back. That fast, fearless decision launched a billion-dollar airline empire. Now you might be telling yourself that moving fast means being reckless and making stupid mistakes that will ruin you. But that's completely wrong. Billionaires do not make reckless choices. They just refuse to let fear paralyze them. They take fast, calculated action because they know that speed is the ultimate advantage. I'm going to show you exactly how to make lightning-fast decisions that actually build wealth without risking your entire life. Master the art of extreme concentration. Most people believe that to protect their money, they need to spread it out across many different different investments. You are taught that diversification is the only safe way to build wealth, but Warren Buffett, one of the richest men in the world, completely disagrees. He says that diversification is just a protection against ignorance. If you know exactly what you are doing, spreading your focus only slows down your success. Billionaires do not build massive wealth by putting a little bit of effort into 20 different projects. They pick one thing and they concentrate all their energy, time, and money into mastering it. When you focus intensely on a industry, you build deep expertise. You start to see opportunities that average people completely miss. You gain a massive competitive advantage because you understand the market better than anyone else. So if you're struggling to make money right now, look at your daily schedule. You are probably trying to run 3 different businesses, learn 5 different skills, and manage a dozen social media accounts. You're spreading yourself too thin. You need to earn your right to concentrate. Pick the one area where you have the most passion and potential. Cut out every single distraction and direct all of your power into making that one thing incredibly successful. Program your brain for problem solving. You cannot make billion-dollar decisions if your brain is constantly overwhelmed by stress. Most people wake up, you look at your phones and immediately start panicking about the day. You live in a reactive state, letting other people dictate your focus. The ultra-wealthy protect their mental energy like it's actually their most valuable asset. They use special routines to force their brains into a state of deep and creative thought. Tom Bilyeu, friend of the channel, co-founded Quest Nutrition and turned it into a billion-dollar brand. He did not do this by working himself to death without taking a break. He created a strict morning routine to train his mind. Every single morning, he exercises to build discipline, and then he immediately meditates. He uses meditation to calm his mind and enter what's called an alpha brainwave state. This is the state where your brain is at its most relaxed and most creative. But he doesn't just sit there. Once he reaches that calm state, he practices something that he calls thinkitating. He stops quieting his mind and points his focus directly at his biggest business problems. Because his brain is relaxed, he can see the unique solutions that he would never find while being mega stressed out. You need to build a space in your day to slow down. Stop running from task to task. Give yourself time to think deeply, and that will unlock answers that will completely change your business. Leverage the cash conversion cycle. When the economy crashes, average people panic and close their doors. They blame the market for their failure. But billionaires see chaos as the ultimate opportunity to grow. They don't rely on outside investors to come and save them. They restructure their business to generate their own cash flow so they can survive any storm that comes. During the dot-com crash in 2001, Amazon lost 90% of its value. Most internet companies went completely bankrupt. Jeff Bezos did not give up. He focused his entire company on one single metric: the cash conversion cycle. He figured out how to get paid by his customers upfront, and then he waited 28 days to pay his suppliers for the products. This meant Amazon had a negative 24-day cash conversion cycle. By getting the money before he had to pay his bills, his business funded its own massive growth. He turned a terrible financial crisis into an actual engine that made him the richest man in the world. You need to look at how money flows through your business. Find ways to collect cash faster and pay expenses later. When you control your cash flow, you end up controlling your destiny. Apply the Russian doll hiring principle. You'll never build a massive empire entirely by yourself. At some point, you have to bring other people onto your team. The biggest mistake you can make is hiring people who are less talented than you just so you can feel like the smartest person in the room. Billionaires leave their egos at the door. They intentionally hire people who are absolute geniuses in areas where they are weak. There is a concept among the ultra-wealthy called the Russian Doll Principle. If you hire people who are smaller than you, you become a company of dwarves. If you hire people who are bigger than you, you become a company of giants. Billionaires look for people who have a fire inside them. They want team members who are self-motivated and do not need to be micromanaged every single day. You have to stop trying to be the expert at everything. Identify the tasks that drain your energy and hire someone who loves doing them. Give them the freedom to make decisions and push your company forward. When you surround yourself with brilliant people, their success becomes your success. Your job is to set the vision, and their job is to figure out the fastest way to get there. Make the ultimate commitment. Every successful person reaches a breaking point. You will face a moment where everything goes completely wrong. Your money runs out, and the whole world tells you that you should quit. This is the moment that separates the people who stay broke from the people who become billionaires. You have to decide if your vision is actually worth fighting for. In 2008, Elon Musk faced the worst year of his life. SpaceX had 3 rockets explode in a row, and Tesla was weeks away from completely running out of cash. He had spent all the money he made from PayPal. He to choose between letting one company die to save the other or risking everything to save both. He decided he would rather die trying than give up on his mission. He split his remaining money, secured last-minute contracts, and saved both companies from complete failure. You have to find that level of commitment inside yourself.

If you treat your business like it's a hobby, it will pay you like a hobby.

You have to burn the boats and decide that failure here is simply not an option. When you fully commit, you stop making excuses and start finding a way to win. Win. The pressure will force you to become the leader that you were always meant to be. The ultimate choice. The only thing standing between you and the wealth you want is your own hesitation. You have the power to make a decision today that changes your entire future. So stop waiting for the perfect time and start taking massive action right now. Go build the life you know you deserve.

Now let's learn if you're starting from zero to apply these 5 Life-changing habits. Talent has absolutely nothing to do with why some people get rich and you do not.

I always look at IQ and, and talent as sort of representing the, uh, the horsepower of the motor, but then in terms of the output, the efficiency with which the motor works, that depends on rationality.

The problem is entirely skill set. It's not that you're average, it's that you don't have a skill set.

I do think that we should all challenge ourselves to be self-aware and try to figure out the talents, and then if we're lucky that those talents match something we're interested in doing, we have to go pot committed to that.

Wealth is simply the result of doing the exact same boring, highly effective habits every single day until you win. What you're describing is often sometimes called a keystone habit, and the idea is you do one thing and it like ripples into other areas of your life.

Every single qualification for Success is acquired through habit. At your age, you know, you will have the habits 20 years from now that you decide to put into practice today. So I just suggest that, that you, you look at the habits you admire in others or the behavior you admire in others and make those your own habits.

If you rely on random bursts of motivation instead of building these habits, you will completely fail at every business you try to start.

People form habits and habits form futures. If you don't deliberately form good habits, then unconsciously you'll form bad ones. I took various people that I really admired, and I took some of the qualities that I really admired in them, and I'd write them down. I wasn't going to be like them, but I was going to develop a couple of these qualities or habits.

Aristotle said that 95% of everything you do is the result of habit. So the rule is form good habits and make them your masters. Let's look at Warren Buffett. He did not build his massive wealth by guessing stock prices or relying on natural talent. He built it by using the most boring habit imaginable. He spends 80% of his day just sitting alone in a quiet room reading 500 pages of financial reports and books. He started from scratch and used this exact daily action to compound his knowledge until he became a billionaire. The magic is always in the boring repetition. Now you might be thinking, Evan, I don't have time to sit in a room for 8 hours a day, and I definitely do not have money to invest. But that's exactly the point. You do not need money and you do not need 8 free hours. You just need to build the right small habits that take $0 to start. And today I'm going to show you exactly what those 5 daily actions are so you can start building real wealth right now. Habit number 1: Reprogram your environment. So you are a direct reflection of the information that you consume every single day. If your bank account is at $0 right now, your current environment is perfectly designed to keep you exactly where you are. You cannot expect to build a massive financial empire while you listen to negative news and hang around people who constantly complain.

You must take strict control over the voices that you allow into your head.

Every morning you have a distinct choice. You can scroll through social media and feel terrible about your life, or you can intentionally put the voices of massive success into your ear. So I do this practice every morning. I call it the Believe Walk. I do not wake up feeling naturally like I want to go off and conquer the world. I wake I wake up and I'm tired and I could think about the overwhelm of my day ahead. So I go outside, walk for 15 minutes, and intentionally put a video of a famous entrepreneur on while I'm going outside. I listen to their stories because I need their belief. I want their ambition to completely take over my mind. And the science actually really backs this up. The American Psychological Association published a massive report showing that constantly consuming negative media increases your stress levels and completely kills your motivation act. So you have to cut the negativity out of your life today. Unsubscribe from the channels that make you feel small and defeated. Start your day with a video or podcast from someone who forces you to think bigger. Take the Believe Walk Challenge with us. Once you fix your daily environment, you will finally have the mental energy to take action. But energy alone will not make you wealthy. You have to actually move. And the fastest way to do that is what I will show you in the next habit. Habit number 2: Build instant momentum. Perfectionism is just a fancy word for fear, right? You're just afraid. Waiting for the perfect business plan or the perfect camera gear will completely keep you broke forever. Getting rich from $0 requires you to build the daily habit of taking messy, uncomfortable action. The biggest thing you're missing right now is just momentum. The very first step is always the hardest step to take. You just need to start moving. When I started this YouTube channel, I was a shy, introverted kid from Toronto. I sucked on camera. I made 350 videos before I could even watch myself without feeling completely embarrassed by myself, by most of my content. Most of those early videos got very few views, but I built the daily habit of hitting record anyway. I expected to suck at the start, and that one habit of every day showing up with imperfect action is exactly what built build this empire. Taking small daily actions physically changes your brain structure. A famous psychology study published in the European Journal of Social Psychology proved that practicing a small daily behavior turns it into an automatic habit over time, so it completely bypasses the need for daily motivation. Stop overthinking your grand master plan. Find the tiny 2% difference that you can make right now, today. Send one single email, record one bad video, write one rough page. Just build the momentum. Habit number 3: Turn your pain into purpose.

You do not need to invent a crazy new technology to get rich.

The most profitable business ideas come directly from your own personal struggles. Your true purpose always comes from your deepest pain. The people who make the most money in the world are simply the ones who solve the biggest problems for other people. So if you want to know exactly what businesses start with $0, look at the hardest thing that you have ever overcome in your own life. You are uniquely qualified to help the exact person that you used to be. So I struggled horribly in my first business. I was making $300 a month and I felt completely alone. I wanted to quit. I told my business partner one day that I wanted to quit. I survived that deep pain. And now my life is dedicated to helping entrepreneurs so they do not have to struggle the same way I did. You can look at Oprah Winfrey. She survived extreme poverty and childhood trauma. She did not hide from her painful past. She used it use her deep understanding of human suffering to build a massive media empire focused on empathy and healing. She turned her absolute darkest moments into her greatest financial asset. So every single day you can ask yourself, how can you serve someone else who is currently facing the pain that you already beat? When you wake up every day trying to solve a real problem for real people, the money will naturally follow, but you still need a proven strategy to execute your purpose. This is exactly where the fourth habit changes everything. Habit number 4: Model the greats. Trying to figure everything out on your own is a massive waste of time. Whatever you want to achieve, somebody else in history has already done it. You do not have to guess. You just have to model success. The biggest mistake you can make right now is looking at a billionaire today and trying to copy their current daily routine. You must copy their rise, not the result. You have to study exactly what they did on day one when they had $0, just like you. When I was failing in my first software company, I didn't know what to do. I called my partner, I told them I quit. It was one of the worst nights of my life. And so I looked at a successful software entrepreneur to model. I picked Bill Gates. I studied exactly how he got his very first client when Microsoft was just a tiny startup in a dusty garage. I took his exact strategy, applied it to my own struggling business, and landed my first deal that completely saved my company. Psychology calls this process observational learning. Albert Bandura published a famous theory called the social learning theory. He proved that people learn new behaviors the absolute fastest simply by observing and imitating others. So pick your ultimate hero, or at least pick someone who's done the thing that you want to do. Find out what they did when they were who are completely broke, practice the habit of copying their beginner actions every single day. So you now have the environment, the momentum, the purpose, and the model. But there is one final daily habit that will hold everything together when times get incredibly tough. Habit number 5: Audit your belief system. Lack of belief is the biggest problem in the entire world right now. You can have the best business model and the perfect mentor, but if you do not believe you can actually win, you will self-sabotage before you even start. Building wealth from $0 requires you to practice extreme self-belief every day. When the people around you tell you that your idea is crazy, you have to be the one who stands strong. You have to borrow belief from your heroes until you can generate it for yourself. So think about exactly who you were 10 years ago. You are an absolute impossibility right now to your younger self. The things you have survived and the things you have accomplished would completely blow the mind of the younger you. You have to apply the same logic to your future. Dr. Carol Dweck from Stanford University spent decades proving that your core belief about your own potential directly dictates your financial success. People who practice a daily growth mindset actually rewire their physical brains to overcome massive failures and build wealth. So every single day you must consciously train your mind to reject doubt. Trust that the ideas that come to you when you feel bold are the right ones. Your daily belief is the only engine that will drive you from $0 to absolute financial freedom. Your time is now, so take the tools from today and start building your legacy right now. Do not let fear keep you trapped in a financial situation you hate. Make today count by taking one tiny step forward. Your future wealth depends entirely on the choices choices you make today.
