13: How Anyone Can Make $100,000 Minimum Doing What They Love - #GrowYourLife

Hello everybody and welcome to Grow youw Life, the podcast where I help you grow in your life and in your business. If we can grow in our lives, it affects our business. Our personal development flows out into our business realm. And if we grow in business, we have more money, we have more influence, we can just do a lot more. And so the two work together. What I talk about on this podcast specifically, it's about areas that cover life and business. Now if you don't follow me on social media, Facebook, Instagram, I go live every single day for 10 minutes with a point like a mini little podcast for you every day, one lesson on ways to grow in your life and your business. So make sure you follow me on there. They're also recorded, they're on YouTube, Instagram, TV and Facebook. The archive of those are also. I just launched my new course, Website Building Made Easy where I help people build their website. Make sure you grab that. On today's topic, what I wanted to talk about specifically is how to create a six figure income for yourself. How to make over $100,000 per year. This is a broad range topic and I'm not going to specifically talk about just making courses, just running agency, or just climbing the corporate ladder. Those are the three, like common areas a lot of people talk about or you know, network marketing. I'm not going to talk about just one or two specific ways to make money or ways to make six figures. There's so many of them out there. But I believe that if you pick one and it's working for you and it aligns with your strengths and your calling, you can do anything. And making a six figure income can be done by anybody in less than six months. And when you get really good at it, you can do it in less than two months from scratch. And so just a little background on me. I personally haven't earned less than a six figure income in the last five years. And this year now we're up to right now the income's at 200,000 a year and climbing while I'm selling stuff. So I have experience to share with you how to do this. This is not just coming from theory. I actually made six figures for the first time when I was 19 years old in affiliate marketing. I made a video about that before where I made about $750,000 in a year when I was 19. So I have experience in this. I've done it multiple times and helped many people do it. I've also created multiple six figure income streams for my clients within less than 90 days as well, the ones that I consult. So putting that all out on the table there, I can firmly and confidently say I can help anybody make at least $100,000 a year. And then if somebody works with me and follows me, I can also help them get to seven and eight figures as well. The strategies and the skills of that, they're different. It actually to make more than six figures is about doing less personally as a person, delegating more and being super strategic about every single action you make. But six figures, you can make that easily with, without a lot of extra skill, extra expertise, or even working extra hours. And that's very attainable for anybody. 100% of people listening to this podcast right now can make six figures. I believe there is zero reason that you can't. And I'll hopefully explain that to you a little bit. Now, if you're in a place where you're like, well, I don't want to make that much, well, then you're probably listening to the wrong podcast here. I have other episodes of why you should make more money, how to make more money. Those kind of are to get your mindset right about money. If you don't want to make more money, you can listen to some of the other stuff that I talk about, about possibilities and things like that. But generally, most people following me are trying to grow in their life. And when you have more money, you can just do more with it. It's not about you see, making six figures is kind of all about us, what we can do, what we can buy. When you make seven figures and beyond, it's all about what you can do for other people. And that's what I'm wanting to help everybody get to, is to grow in their reach, grow in their influence, and help other people and make the world a better place in the long run. Okay? But in this, to make six figures, I believe everybody listening to this now, again, like I said, if that's not you, you can either keep listening because you're curious which kind of shows that maybe you do want to, or you're just curious what I'm going to say, which is cool. So in that making six figures, there's so many different ways to do that, and I want to break it down mathematically for you because this is kind of how I am. When I first got into the workplace, I was working, I'd see my mom build online business making six, seven, eight figures in that over the years online. And so I was like, you know, I want to have an income of my Own. So I started my first job, you know, 30 bucks an hour editing videos for network marketers and trainers. Okay. People that needed video content, testimonial shot. I was able to charge 30 bucks an hour, make a full time income of that. So right there, I was 17 years old. I identified how I can get to $30 an hour. And at 40 hours a week, times 52 weeks, we're looking at 62,000 a year, easily full time. So right there, that was kind of the baseline. And I think wherever you are right now, your, your baseline should be to break that 30 an hour level. I've noticed that if people are below the 30 an hour level, that's the first milestone that they really need to break. And then a lot of stuff changes once you break that. Once you break the 30 slash, like 40. Did I say mile an hour? I meant dollar an hour. That's great. That's awesome. You know what I meant. $30 an hour level is 62,000 a year. So $30 an hour. And then if you're making taxes, if you're an employee, you know, you got to put set aside some with taxes. Right now our current tax structure is pretty, pretty decent for somebody making that kind of an income. It goes up a lot more the more you make though, which is normal. Totally fine. So once you break the $30 an hour level, the next level is definitely $60 an hour. And 60 working full time is a six figure income. So when you make $60 an hour, that's making a six figure income. So that's why once you make 30, you want to break the 40 and then the 50, see what 50 is. I'm really trying to break this down on a really practical scale for you guys to understand. Yeah, so $50 an hour is right at 104,000 a year. And you can take two weeks off, basically. So to make six figures, that's 50 bucks an hour working full time or 100 an hour working part time, working 10 hours a week, that's 200 an hour. Okay, that, and that's where you got to get out of your mind, the working dollars for hours type of equation. Because you'll make six figures a lot faster when you stop thinking in that level of dollars per hour. But when you, when you break it down simultaneously into dollars per hour, you can kind of look at, okay, I spent this many hours doing this. What did that bring in? Oh, wow. I've already crossed over this level right here. And that will start to materialize for you. That, you know, anybody that is doing any sort of service based business should be making over $60 an hour. If you're working for somebody else, you're gonna make at least half that minimum so that then they can take a profit on it. Which is why one of the very first steps for anybody to take control over their life financially and to make six figures. Let me drink my water here. Is to possibly get out of a work environment, possibly get out of a job situation and do it on the side, either as a side hustle to supplement their income, or once you can transition, you can cross over, replace your full time, then you can go all the way in with the business that you own. Me personally, I actually, it's funny, I made a mistake out of fear. When I was about 19 years old, I was making like 200,000 on the side, but I stayed at a job. I did like the job, but it probably would have been better if I had transitioned out of it and chosen that, that path. But I can't change the path. So that's what I would suggest for anybody is to try to match your income and then go further. And then if you want to pivot and do stuff like that, you want to match that income. And as soon as you can match it, that's when you can prioritize it differently in that. So but let's break this down to a real simple level. So if you're working a job, and for those of you that aren't working a job, I'm going to get to you in a sec. But I need to help everybody on this podcast, I really do. If you're working a job, you have a certain level of skill doing something, you have knowledge about a certain industry, you can either take that and become a consultant in that industry or find another job that pays more or start your own business when you learn a new skill. So those are the different ways when you're working a job. And the third one is probably one of the better ones because you have control over that, you still have control over the other one, but you're limited based on what you already know versus what's funny is a lot of people try to get jobs just based on what they know. But when we're starting out, we're like 16, 18, 20 years old. We want to get jobs to learn stuff. And then people transition out of that, not even wanting, wanting to learn new stuff as they get older. It's really beneficial for you to learn new skills that you've never done before in your life in that, you know, new Skills such as communication skills, sales skills, money management skills, managerial skills, reading books, listening to podcasts, growing your life in that. So if you're in a job, you know, one of the best things that you can do is either find another one, or you take your knowledge and skill, maybe you start a side business that services the industry that you're in because you understand it. You then become a vendor to your current industry. So that's one of the fastest ways that a lot of people can transition from employee to entrepreneur real quick is to become a vendor to the industry that they're in. And that's one of the fastest ways you go from being an employee to have a service business. You do the service that people need on a high level for multiple clients. Instead of having one, one boss you report to, you charge a rate for a skill, and you have six or seven different bosses, different clients, stuff like that. You know, if you scale up to that level, for example, okay, let's say you're charging per job a thousand dollars a month per job you get. You get eight clients, and you're already looking at 96,000 a year. That's where then getting more confidence about money growing in your skill, you can then charge more. So for instance, if you just charge $100,000 for a service job, that's one client a year that you need to service that, which is. That's basically a career. That's basically a job. When you get a career, you're basically saying, okay, you can have all of me for a year for this price. And most bosses are not going to pay a hundred thousand dollars for that. Some will, but in that you could, then you could find two different clients. And if we divide this a hundred thousand by twelve, that's 838, 8333. So you could have two clients that pay you 4,000amonth, or three that pay or. Or four that pay you $2,083. So in that you could have four clients to pay you this much, or you could have a variety. Maybe one pays you 4,000, two pay you a thousand, and then two pay you, you know, 2,000 and 3,000 different rates, a moving scale like that. So these are just different things. Another great way to just make six figures is sales positions. The reason why is this when you think about money, and I'm gonna have to do a background on money here, because it's important, you're only getting paid for the value you bring in. And value comes when other human beings exchange money with the organization that you're talking with. So if you're building your own business, you're going to have to exchange money with other people. How do you provide value equal to that money? You give them greater value in return than the money that they're giving you. So if you have a sales position and a lot of people don't like sales, which is okay, but once you learn it, it's actually easy. Selling isn't about selling. It's about being confident, believing what you're talking about and saying, hey, this is gonna help you reach your goals. Buy it. Like I do with my website building course. I believe 100% of everybody needs to buy that course. For example, it's one of the best course out there on building any website for anybody. So I recommend it. I made it. But you know, I might be biased, but this opinion of mine, I made it specifically with the purpose of getting people results for the lowest cost possible and the best training because I wasn't happy with what was out there in the marketplace. So I provided high value for a product. And that's sales right there. Okay, but you could sell somebody else's product, for example. So let's say they have a product that's, you know, $40,000 like a car. You can get a commission off of that by selling that car and learning sales skills. It's all about communication. So there's many different ways to make six figures. You just have to look at your life around you. If you're in this box of, you know, this is the only possibilities I have, that's because you were groomed that way, you were trained that way, and you were taught that you shouldn't dream outside of that box. And I'm here to invite you to say, hey, look outside the box. Look at what interests you, what new skills you can learn and then start stacking those experiences, learning, growth, and you can create a six figure income. That way anybody can go from employee to making six figures in that sense. What I did was I did affiliate marketing. I found companies that would pay me commission on the side of my job for promoting their products. And just during, you know, in my off hours, I was running ads and making endorsements online for their stuff while I was working my job. And that made money. A lot of people, you know, if you, you are an executive leadership, so for example, you to climb the corporate ladder to make six figures. Not all jobs can pay that. But if you can grow in skill, you can then transition to a place that does. The value you're providing is you are Able to take multiple people that are earning a certain amount, mobilize them to be greater on their own. Your whole goal as a leader in an organization is to make your people that are under you stronger than you and help them reach their goals and then in turn helping further up reach their goals. So in that, that's how as an employee, you can make six figures. Now, there's different ways to, there's hundreds of different ways. And I'm going to kind of spitfire this a little bit here. Different ideas of how to make money, how to make income, how to make six figures. And there's so many of them. I want you to start thinking in terms of what is possible, not in terms of what is only possible for you right now in this present moment. And that's why my podcast is about that. The first episode is about unlocking possibilities. I have the last episode. I just did episode 12, how to remove any limitations and accomplish the impossible. If you feel like anything that I'm talking about is impossible for you because of XYZ, go listen to episode number one and number 12 of this podcast specifically because those are really going to help you understand there that nothing is impossible. That nothing is impossible. You can do anything. You can accomplish anything. Seriously, you guys, whatever anybody tells you, whatever people tell you you can or can't do, or you should or shouldn't do, or you're not allowed or allowed to do, or this is the path that you chose is what you learned. Because my education was this, that if I stop doing this, I'm a failure. It's not true. And, and, and in that maybe look at if it was possible, what would you do if failure wasn't an option? If you couldn't fail, what would you do? What would you want to do? And sometimes those goals are really big. You know, for instance, for me, I have desires to do stuff that are way bigger than what I can currently have the knowledge, skill, capacity or finance or financial resources to do. That involve technology that involve, you know, lots of stuff, artificial intelligence, quantum computing, machine learning, self driving cars, video games, movies, things like that. But I'm learning in those realms and I'm growing into that place. And so in that, open up your possibilities of what is available to you, what's possible for you. And then look at what are you doing now. Anything that's not serving you towards your goals, stop doing that thing and start doing what is serving you now. When we look at income, a lot of us can get emotionally attached to how much we make equals who we Are, no matter how much you make, it doesn't make you a better or worse person than another person. No matter how little you make, it doesn't make you any better or worse of a person. It's just how much money you have, how much influence you can then have, doesn't make you any better or worse of a person. If you come from that place and then we flow out of a place of love, we can accomplish anything, we can do anything. We can, we can go anywhere, but in this. Different ways to make six figures. So, yeah, corporate job, climb the ladder, manage more people. Boring. Kind of maybe. Depends on, depends on what you're really passionate about. A lot of people have success in that. Just totally cool. But if that's, that's not where you're at, like, if that's where you are and you can see upside, that's great. Once you. As soon as you don't see upside, it's time for you to pivot and find something else as well. This is something that is funny is, is I grew up believing that loyalty was more important than, than looking for the upside and the, the next thing. And in that I was loyal to a fault sometimes and kept myself in places and situations that were no longer serving me for a long time past their expiry date. So here's. So that's the thing, is once you reach a point, you feel like, hey, this isn't serving me, I'm gonna go and pivot. And that's what I've done now, you know, for the last five years, is I've chosen that type of a thing. This was when I was a lot younger. I like really prioritized loyalty. That's why I stayed at a company or while I was making quarter of a million dollars on the side and stayed for a salary of 35 grand. Silly. But learn from it. Great experience. So in that if something's not serving you, find, you know, find the next level, prepare yourself for that next level. Grow, learn, you know, don't get arrogant though. Don't be prideful as well. If you don't know something, you need to learn it. You need to learn new skill. You need to deliver 10 times greater than the value of what you're being paid every single day. And you'll get paid 10 times greater over time. Think about that. If your output, you're not somebody that just looks at the clock, you, you go all in on your work and what you're doing, your income will eventually match that level versus the guy who's you know, just waiting until 5:00 clock to go home or the gal who's, you know, doing that. And all of us have different life goals as well, by the way. I get that. I totally get that. Which is why one of the very worst ways to make six figures is to work more. That's why if you're making $25 an hour and you work and you work 80 hours a week, you can make six figures as well. It's true. And a lot of people do that. A lot of people do do that, and they have no life because of it. But when you can learn how to get more control of your life back, the goal is to spend less time and make more money because of all the different stuff that you have set up. But you can't, you can't skip a step in that process. You can't like, skip steps. You'll, and you'll know when you can finally go to the next level. You'll feel like, okay, I'm having a breakthrough now, and you'll feel stuck and then you'll break through. And that's what happens. You know, I just had something like that happened this past week and about two weeks ago and about a month ago, I've been having breakthroughs every single, like every two weeks, which is super cool. So. But in this, making six figures is about exchanging value for your time, doing the most concerted effort of your time, value in exchange for resources. So if you are somebody that's making $10 an hour, your value is more replaceable. It's not as rare, and it's easier to find people to do the same thing. The more rare it is to find what you do, the higher value it has and the marketplace will pay for it. That's where confidence really comes in as well. If you're not confident about yourself, you'll project that lack of confidence. And that comes across as if you don't really know what you're doing. And if you don't really know what you're doing, say that, but say that you want to learn. Be real, be honest. Take ownership over your choices. Ownership over where you are, why you are, where you are, and where you want to go. But for anybody to make six figures, so there's the climbing the corporate ladder. That's a way. There's the working 80 hours a week. That's the least recommended is the, like is the overworking level of it, you know, so if we're not going to do those things, then what. What's our options? Well, our options is Then we start a business, and initially you probably have to work more, but then it starts to balance itself out and leverage more to where you can work, what you choose to, what your value is, and you're actually completely in control over how much you work. I actually, for the last year, didn't even believe that one for a long time. And now I'm starting to really believe that and walk it out and not allow my fear of other people's opinions push me to the point of working too much. Now, at the same time, if I'm building something, I'm gonna also work, and if I need to pay my bills, I'm gonna also work. Being able to choose and take ownership of your choices is one of the strongest things that you can do. So when you start a business, let's say you become a vendor to your industry, you can look at, you know, what's a common problem in this industry that I can help solve, you know, so for me, a lot of times, my baseline is definitely Facebook ads with people. It's the highest value, lowest amount of hours, but highest output results for my clients. And so Facebook ads is my kind of like job security type thing. It used to be video production, it used to be website development. Now it's Facebook ads, and now it's consulting. And as we go to different levels, that changes. So, for example, I started my industry doing video production. I had somebody write me about, like, about two months ago and say, hey, do you still do video editing? I got a great job at a film for you if you wanted one. And it's funny, my heart was like, oh, hey. And then I'm like, no, you're going to a different level than you were back then. So that's okay. So for you, you'll end up going to different levels as you gain more expertise, more experience, and these experiences stack, and then your income will also grow there. Now, what are some things that pay six figures? It's always whatever is rare. Sometimes it can be what's dangerous when it's a job or something like that. The higher the danger, the more it pays. Or the rarity of skill set and knowledge. How many people know about it? I prefer low danger, high rarity of knowledge. Those are the ones that I really try to hone in on is areas that have the lowest kind of rarity of knowledge with the highest impact and aren't dangerous. So those are kind of the fields, if you follow me, that I kind of kind of go into. When I started doing video production, nobody was really doing it. Very much. Nobody was doing video online except for big studios. And so I was able to make good money as a, as a kid because I knew how to do that. And then that, you know, also with website development back in the, back in the, the early, early 2000s, right there, mid 2000s is when I was doing that as well. So all of that, that's great, but then that becomes like a job. And so the, so the thing is, is that, yeah, when you make six figures, there's different levels here. This is why I'm saying you can make six figures, anybody can. Because all you're doing is just, you're, you're rearranging kind of what you already have skill in or learning a little bit better to leverage your skill and then optimizing your time to make more money. So if you're a vendor, say auto parts or something, you can sell auto parts to different people that you already have relationships with and then grow and then you become a trusted resource for that. And then you can scale that. If you do a service for people, any sort of service, you can scale that by hiring more people. There's a bottleneck on done for you services because the quality goes down the more people you hire. So in that, that's where then you want to pivot to maybe being a consultant, educator, and a leader of people that are doing that and then partner with people that have skill sets that have learned from you. For example, another one is selling products. So that comes from sales. That's where network marketing is a, is a model that has baked into it sales skills and a product that you can sell to make money with. But if you can't sell your product, you don't know how to explain it. You don't even have a passion for it. I tell people all the time, like, if you don't even like your network marketing product, if you don't want to be selling it, then why are you selling it? Like, I see so many people, they try to make money with MLM and they don't even want to, and they're the ones that fail. Great. Why are you doing it? So there's a lot of people that like, they, they just, I tell them, like, that's cool, keep that because you like the products, but there's no point in you like trying to do something because somebody said you should either. At the same time, I want people to really take ownership over choosing what they want to do in life. If you have a brick and mortar business, it's just about more customers coming in more often and buying from you and then maybe expanding. So there's many different ways to make six figures. Being an educator is cool. That's where the whole like online course industry is. Because the idea is you can essentially educate thousands of use. So the idea is that's where you go to the next level. And becoming an educator, slash consultant, slash coach has a much higher upside because very few people can really do that successfully. To work with other people that are doing what they're doing and help them get a, get a, get a better result at it. Okay. And so what that is, that's laying aside your ego that you know somebody else is going to compete with you and helping raise up somebody else to be 10 times better than you at what you know how to do. And that's where making courses and consulting comes in, in there. That's why I made my course Website Building Made Easy. I no longer want to be building websites for people. I would rather people take my course, train their teams than me build a website, for example, and then I can consult them on advertising and marketing strategy, for instance, that type of a thing. You know, little sidebar to that. My Website Building Made Easy course could actually help you start and create your own six figure service business. Building websites for people. The skills that I teach in it distill all my knowledge over the last 15 years of creating websites to where you will then have the same skill that I do at making websites. And then you can charge between two to $10,000 a website for people. You build four a month and you're making six figures right there. You charge you know, eight grand for a rollout, that's high end or two clients that are four grand. You made six figures just from my course that's on sale right now for I think it's like 297 until the end of today on June 24th. And that's going up to 697. So that's what my course is. It's on my website. People can take that course and start their own website building agency. Okay. And by the way, that that sale price is, if you write me, you're not going to get it. I do run different ads sometimes for different sales prices, but they're very rare and few and far between. So if that's something that you want to do, it's even worth the regular price just because of the skill set that you're going to learn. You're going to be able to apply it to your business, make money. You're able to if you wanted to start your own service business doing that sort of thing. Okay. And yeah, check that out. You even get the support community and everything with that. And that's for free. For like that one fee, you get access to me to help consult you on how to run your own business. So it's great. Service based businesses are great. Let's say you had a skill in an industry serving that industry. You could either be a coach or consultant to the industry to help others that are doing the same thing that you did. And then you can charge for that. If you write books, you can sell those music. Podcasting becomes six figures because you can either have sponsors or create courses and products like I'm doing right now. Consulting services, stuff like that. At the end of the day, making six figures is not this big ethereal thing that everybody makes it out to be. It's not that much money either because once you make it, you're like, how do I make multiple six figures? How to make 200, now 400,000, then a million, and then you want to scale from there. So. But that's a stepping stone for a lot of people is making six figures so you can consult your industry. That's one of the fastest ways to make six figures is become a consultant. Because, because what happens is this. If you're doing a service based business, you're limited now by the amount of hours that you have to serve or your own employees to serve. If you're doing consulting, you're getting paid XYZ fee just to talk, either talking on camera, talking to people that are building the business, talking and coaching people, talking, recording stuff, talking, selling it and stuff like that. So in that coaching, consulting and making courses is one of the fastest, highest, highest profit ways to make six figures. But sometimes, man, I've seen people, they're trying to make courses and they don't have skills and what they're trying to make courses in and what they're trying to consult with. So if you're that person that doesn't, that you're trying to like, oh, I heard that's the fast way to make money. No, you're looking at that all wrong. You need to actually have skill and actually deliver value. I'm not suggesting that people with no value and skill go and try to pretend like they do to swindle people, to hire them. There's a little soapbox right there, don't do that. But if you're somebody that has a certain level of skill, you can take that and apply it to either training, educating Mentoring, creating courses, consulting, being a coach or a consultant, writing about, talking about, and build a whole business around that. And you can make six figures with that. Beyond that, you're definitely gonna probably make seven figures. And that's where it gets really hard work to make more than six figures. It becomes that much harder. Your choices become harder, you're actually working less, but you're making harder decisions is what it is in that. And so for you, for anybody making six figures, sales, climbing the corporate ladder, working more hours, a service business in the industry you're in, being either a service provider or a vendor of products, selling your own products, training, educating, courses, consulting and coaching in your industry. So these are all ways to make six figures without even learning anything new. Pretty much just by organically your own network. And that's why they say your network is your net worth. Whatever. These quotes crack me up sometimes that people say but it. But. But in that that's true. And so then you can easily see how you could transition from whatever you're doing now to make six figures. And a lot of times the only thing that's holding us back is we're afraid of the decisions and choices it's going to make. We're gonna have to leave certain things behind, do things differently and make choices that are different than what we're currently doing. So if you're in that box there and you're afraid of that, that's what that's your breakthrough is breaking out of that is why are you not breaking out of that? Look at that. And that's what episode number 12 of the podcast is about. Removing all limitations and doing the impossible and limitless possibilities that I talk about in episode number one. Anybody listening to this can make six figures if you get your mindset right. You get your mindset about money right. You make your goals right, your morals, your purpose. So all of those are ways to make six figures. There was one other that I was thinking of, let me think. Service provider, corporate selling, sales courses, mlm, or scale your job, get a different job, climb the corporate ladder. Those are all inside of the realm of your own. Yeah, your own industry that you can, that you can do. Now let's come out of your own industry. Okay. This is where it gets really fun and this is where it can scale. You can create multiple six figure revenue streams for yourself and then scale the seven figures is learning new stuff, stuff you don't know, stuff completely outside of your industry, stuff that you've never explored before, stuff that you've never even thought of and then becoming an expert in that area and then pivoting your life over realizing that you don't have to be where you are now. You don't have to always do what you're doing now. You can make choices to shift and adjust your life to go where you want to go. You're not locked into one framework, and you can create whatever you want. And in that, you can choose your life. And so for me, I've been learning programming skills, I've been learning about management, leadership, investing, pitching investors, creating software, software development. You'll notice a lot of this stems on software as well as hardware and software combined. How, like, you know, how are devices like this created? How are devices like computers created? How are televisions, video game systems, electric cars? Test, you know, like, like Tesla, things like that. Tesla is basically a driving smartphone, if you think about it. And so in that, I've been exploring that realm because I'm interested in that. When I was growing up, I was really interested in film, and I still am. But I really noticed if I went just down the film path, it was going to be harder for me to reach my goals. And then I realized, oh, the guy. You got a guy who made a lot of money that produces films. So I decided to make films. I want. I have to be a producer and make money and then produce. So I want to get back into the film realm when I had the money to produce that type of stuff. Those are my goals. I have these crazy big goals, you guys, really. But see, I know that my goals don't matter to you. You're like, that's great, but what about me? What if I don't even know my goals? I want you to write those down. I want you to think about what's inside of you. You're never going to go to six figures or even seven figures without knowing your why. And even going seven layers deep in your why. Well, why do you want to make six figures? Well, why? Well, why? And it usually boils down to something to do with a better life, our family, leaving a legacy, our kids, stuff like that. And in that, that's where at the end of the day, working more is never the solution, especially if you got children growing. Growing your family is one of the most important, the strongest wealth that you can build in your life. But for you, monetarily, you can just do a lot more with more money. You can hire people and just live a more abundant life and create things that aren't possible without it. And so for you to make six Figures. I want to know the different ways that, that you've thought about making six figures. You know, it could be, oh yeah, here's another way is it's just a side hustle. Maybe you're flipping stuff and selling it. You know, Gary, Gary Vee talks about this. We were at an estate sale the other day and we found a bunch of like old stuff that I was like, we could flip these, they're a dollar. We could flip them for like 30 bucks. And so that's a 50 times profit. And if you do that over the weekend, even you can supplement your income. Another way that you could supplement your income with a side hustle. I had a side hustle of DJing that I was making an additional like 3 grand a month doing that on top of my job, on top of my affiliate marketing. So I was making six figures there. Making six figures is not hard, but for some reason people put it on a pedestal in their life and as a goal that it's like impossible. That's so far above where they are now that they blind themselves to the possibility of what they could do. So if you take a bird's eye view at your life, what your goals are, your why, you get real clear about that, you're real clear about why you're doing, what you're doing, doing where you want to go, then you'll start to see a path of how can I apply what I know now? Or what are new skills that I can learn to grow in wisdom, knowledge and understanding through experience. You see, jobs don't pay people until they have experience. As a consultant, you can't make the most amount of money without experience. But at the same time, you don't always need experience. You can learn the experience while you're in it as well. And by doing that is one of the best ways is you can undercut some of your early business stuff, validate the skill, gain the experience at a lower level, and then start to scale up your pay scale your pay rate. For instance, you know, when I launched my, my, my agency that I'm doing Facebook ads and websites for, I helped people for at a rate that's like 1/10 of what I charge people now for my first early clients and then I got referrals from them and then started to scale from there and easily was able to get to that six figure level by stacking different clients, adding different things, different partnerships, things like that. Within two months. We were able to make that much when I, when I started. But that's because I had the Experience in that. So in that, I want to tell you, you don't need all of the, quote, unquote, unfair advantages that I've had. I. I believe I know for a fact that I definitely have had a life that set me up for success in that area, but now it's been my choice to take it further and to step into it. And so for you, though, you can learn from what I've seen other people do, what I've helped consult other people do, and make a choice and a decision that you can either start a business for yourself, you can grow as an employee, you can easily make six figures. Everybody can. The question is, are you willing to make decisions that are opposite of what you've been doing right now and make choices that are different than what you're comfortable with? Are you willing to look at your comfort zone and take a look deep as to why you're not willing to make those choices, why you're not making six figures now? And if you look at that, if you look at the why. So I want you to ask yourself this. If you're not making six figures, oh, this is really good. I just got a vision of this. If it's something like pops up in my head, if you're not making $100,000, ask yourself why. Okay, well, why? Well, because I'm not in a job that pays me that well. Why are you in that job? Well, because it's security. Well, why don't you leave that job? Well, because of this. And you're starting. You'll start to identify your why. You keep asking, well, why haven't you left it yet? Well, I don't want to go broke. Okay, why haven't you started a side hustle? Because I don't have enough time or I'm tired. Well, why don't you have enough time? Well, because I'm doing all this. Well, why are you doing all that? And you start asking this why level, and you can start to take ownership over why you are where you are today by going deeper. You ask why, and you ask why again and then why again and then why again. And it'll help you identify why you are where you are, and then what choices, decisions, and actions you need to make to break free from it. And then from there, it's as simple as just doing something different. It really is that simple. Yet that's the scariest thing for people. And then also just real honest, like trust God to direct your footsteps. When you align your calling and your destiny, what you're doing with What God says about you and you bring your work, life, and to alignment with God, we don't just check God at the door, we bring him into this. We say, God, what should I be doing? It starts to become a lot clearer there. And for me, that's what I'm on a path of is. I've asked God what, you know, what would you have me do? And here's the thing. Sometimes God leads you down a path that is getting you in the right direction. And then. Because the way that God brings us is, you know, let's say my vision is the electric cars and the video games and the technology, okay? But it's led me down a certain path. See, I don't know what's going to happen when I get there, but I'm trusting God and I'm trusting the process. So when I get there, I might see something totally different than that. And then I pivot. Doesn't make me a failure that I didn't go after those things because I'm taking ownership over my choices and trusting God and then realizing, okay, that's what got me heading down that path. But now that I'm there, this is the path that I know that God's calling me to. And it's different than what I thought it was. And that's where for us, that's where we still have to trust. We can't say, well, this is the one God sent me down you have to look at. Okay, I thought that I was going here, but when I got there, I realized that I'm actually supposed to go here and then here. It was a road, it was a. It was a. It was a stop along the way. And in that, that's how we can really start to move along the path towards our purpose. In that. And so just stay in prayer, stay asking, God, what would you have me do? Align your actions with God's plan for your life. And you, you'll never have to question, is this the right or wrong thing for me to do? A lot of people worry at the end of the day because of that core level, am I going to make a mistake? Am I going to make a decision that's the wrong thing for me to do? And in that, that's just because we're not trusting and we're trying to rely so much on ourselves for that. So at the end of the day, anybody I believe can make six figures, we put it at such a pedestal in our minds, we're blinded to the possibility of what exists for us. But when we remove that and we look at what can we do, what are choices, decisions we can make. We do those multiple levels of whys and we find our why in there. And then we look at what do I want to do, what does God want me to do, do they align then in there, when they come together, we start to make decisions, choices that follow, follow that path. And then in that for you to make more money, to make six figures is you just make a choice. I'm not going to do what I was doing here and I'm going to do this, that's going to pay more, period. But whatever's stopping you from that choice, that's what we got to figure out. And that's what holds a lot of people back. And so whatever that is, look at that, look at what you want to do, what you can do now, what you want to do and what you can do now as well, are usually separated from each other, but they can become stepping stones as well for you. So for example, learning a new skill, you can start a service based business. You know, if you have skill in a certain area or a natural inclination as well, you can look there, for example, a lot of young people, social media, web, Internet, very easy to learn the basics of and have exponential results from because they don't have to learn the basics from scratch. And in that, stop over analyzing and stop making your whole identity based around how much money you make. At the end of the day, how much money we make, money doesn't actually mean anything. It has the meaning we apply to it, the value we apply to it. The value exchange of other people saying that's what it's worth. You know, when you're up and you're making this much or you're down, doesn't mean that you as a person are worth any less. Your value as a person is not worth less. The money you have is not equal to who you are. And when you know who you are and you're solid and your identity, then the money that you have can be used as a tool. It's just a tool to help you go further and reach your goals. And so if you want to make six figures, you have to look at where am I now talking to you right now? Who's listening to this? Where are you now? Where are you right now in your life? What's your income? Why is it there? Why is your income that level? Why are you making that much? Why aren't you doing something else? Why haven't you learned the skills that you need to? Why haven't you explored that. And start to ask those questions honestly and start there. And then if you're making a certain amount but you feel like plateaued, why haven't I pivoted out of here? Why haven't I transitioned? Why haven't I gone to another level? Many times it has to do with confidence and fear. It really does. But we don't call it that. We call it I don't know. You see, I don't know is fear with fancy language. Because the fact that you're saying I don't know is saying I'm too afraid to learn how to. It's powerful. When you say I don't know about something and that stops you from doing a whole path in your life that essentially is saying, I wouldn't know how to get started. And the thought of that scares me. That's a better way to put it. Yeah, it's a lot better. The thought of that scares me and I don't know where to start. I don't know what's going to happen. So we let that stop us. Or I can't do this. Whatever your I can'ts are, look at those. Well, why can't you? Well, why does that stop you? And at the end of the day, it all boils down to because you're afraid of something happening, or you take ownership over your choices and choose, this is the life that I've created for myself and it's working out great for me. And this is why I am where I am. And this is what I'm going to continue to do until I feel otherwise. That's why you have to take ownership over your actions and choices and, and what you're doing. So often when we don't take ownership over what we do, we live our life by default. The default setting by whatever happens to us equals our outcome rather than choosing our outcome and then working backwards from there of how do we get there. And we can work from a future place of where we want to go, our goals, and then work backwards from there. We can start to create our future and walk into it and it becomes our reality. So I want to encourage you guys today, whatever you can dream, envision, you can accomplish. But you have to go to work. Humans have limitless potential, but potential is worth nothing without taking action. So in that sometimes the taking action is just this, exploring those whys, exploring why you're not doing something, exploring why you haven't made a decision yet, exploring why you are where you are, and then working backwards from there and exploring all of those different levels. If you're listening to this and you still have questions, you're like, well, this is this. This is that. You didn't talk about this. This is that. Message me, comment me. I want to either make another podcast to help you answer your questions. So the goal of this is I'll make this podcast, and then I want people to tell me what their issue is or they're struggling with so that I can make better content. New future podcasts based on what you tell me, future videos based on what you tell me, or direct you to an existing one that I already have that helps answer your question. So the idea is this. I become a fluid resource for you on how to grow your life as like, kind of like a life coach that's digital and like a Google type of a thing. So you're like, this is my life. You look at me, you're like, this is here. You listen to my podcast. You say, okay, well, this, this, and this. You work through it. And then you say, I'm just so stuck on this, this. And then you message me. You leave a comment, you let me know where you're stuck. You leave it in the Grow youw Life community. We're growing people in the community as well, to help people answer these questions. And then if I have an answer, I'll leave it. I'll send you another resource for you to listen to another podcast or I'll record a future one. I want to help this grow as a resource for you to grow in your life and get better results overall. That's why this exists. And I believe 100% of everybody listening to this can make at least $100,000 a year minimum, and should. And so whatever that is, that's saying that you can't or you don't know how, I want to know what that is because I want to help you work through that. If I didn't talk about it on here, I want to hear from you. I have this unique skill where I can kind of look at somebody's situation and look at kind of what they're doing, what they got going on, and figure out at least step 1, 2, and 3 ideas for them to. To get a better result than where they are now. That's. That's what I do with clients I consult. It's what I do in the community. That's why this podcast exists as well. So I want to help you. So message me, DM me. Leave a comment if you're listening to this. I want to help you discover how you can make six figures. And then how you can make seven figures as well. My goal with the Grow your Life community and this podcast is to help a hundred thousand people, that's 0.6% of the population in my country, make seven figures, make a million dollars. People with good morals, ethics, beliefs, that will use it to help people. Not for harm, not for any nefarious reasons, but rather just to make the world a better place. And that's why this exists. And that's why if somebody is not that person with a good heart, a good spirit, they're probably not going to want to listen to my podcast either, which is okay. Anyways, I want to help you guys reach your goals. I believe in you. I know you can reach your goals. I know that nothing is impossible because I've seen it, I've experienced it for myself. Like I said, you know, I'm trying to pass this on to you. I. I will never make less than six figures myself. And I believe 100% of everybody listening to this can as well. If they apply this and if they do the work themselves inside of themselves and really look and then ask them the questions, either of themselves or of me or of our community.
