The Real Way to Make Money: Building Networks and Trust ( from a talk with the students)

Making money scales through networks and trust, not isolated hard work. A reliable circle provides opportunities, capital, and advice that multiply earnings. Early mindset programming shapes whether you see money as easy or hard to earn.

You don't earn money. You, you make money, okay? And that's how you make money, like with information and, and not by betting or gambling or doing technical analysis. It's, you know, you're grown up about it. That's all it is. You just got to be a grown up and that's how grown ups do it. So we're eventually going to be 50 years old, you know, so we're eventually going to be 50 years old, right? Like Steve and I, 20 years by, we're gonna, we're a little bolder and it comes very, very easy to, to, to make money when you have access to the right people who trust you and you trust them and you know you're good for it, actually good for it. And you care about each other. So you could be flat broke or just be starting at 30 and you're gonna be way ahead of your parents and their grant and your whole generation in 20 years because you have the right connections and patience and you build that network and you build yourself. Because look, if you only have 100 grand and one of your very close friends helps you five exit, you still haven't done anything. It's on the premise that you've done the work and you've actually gotten 2 to 3 million yourself. But the next 15 or the next 12 million comes from 5xing through it like that. You see what I'm saying?
Yeah.
Or at least having a million that you could lose and not feel it and be able to five exit. So it's like you have to do the groundwork so that your network and connections can actually help you become worth 20, 50, 100, 200 and so on over the course of like 10, 15 years. So that's how it's done. It's like you naturally earn your way into 100 million, you'll earn your way into 200 million or a billion. You earn your way into like 300k. You earn your way into half a million, you earn your way up to a million if your company sells or something, you earn your way into that and some elements of luck. Anything beyond that, it's not earning your way in. Okay? It's either you. Yeah, it's not even luck. It's a bad place.
What, you don't think self made billionaires exist?
That is self made. That is self made. If you made a network and you are trustworthy and you've done favors for people early on and you've done this consistently for years and they give you a tip, that's self made. Too. That literally is self made. That's, that's, that's the concept of everyone's self made. You think because someone has rich parents that automatically gives them an in? It's not gonna give them into to tens of millions of dollars, you know, 50 Cent. He has a kid, he's like 27 years old, he doesn't want to do, he just wants to, you know, have his dad give him 10k.
Well, it certainly is easier because you have access to better networks when you're rich.
His dad told himself a business for you, you'll make 100k a month. He's like, no, I just want 10k a month to cover my cover. Lazy.
I mean, what's gonna help you?
That's what I'm saying. So it's like, oh, it's, it's like, it's easier.
But you still have work extremely hard, dude.
Elon Musk has that owned Emerald Mines. He did it mostly on his own. The difference is between you, me and Elon Musk is when you grow up with the dad who takes you to school in a Rolls Royce and he owns Emerald Mines, everything's easy. Your brain is programmed that making money is easy and that you can do it. Whereas if you grow up in some level of difficulty, it doesn't have to be real difficulty, it could just be your parents or dicks and they don't give you money and they make it difficult for you. All that gets programmed into your brain and you start thinking making money is hard because that's been your experience. So it's not about the fact that they have connections or they have money. It's the fact that they program their kids from an early age that making money is difficult or making money is easy. And whatever programming you have in your brain, that's what you go with. So yes, you can hack your reality, but you have to first understand yourself, have very good awareness. Whether you are scared of selling, are you scared of making money, or you're just doing everything for free. Are you just talking about getting customers? We don't really have a game plan how you're going to monetize.
