These 3 Thoughts Made Me A Millionaire

I thought about these 3 things every day until I became a millionaire. My name is Marcel Fernandez. I was born in a poor third world country to poor parents. My dad was a Domino's Pizza delivery boy, my mom was a maid. And after learning when I was 21 from my teacher Jim Rohn back in 2017, these 3 things, I've thought about them every single day. And 5 years later, I became a self-made millionaire. And now my purpose is to help a billion people around the earth to to do the same. Now I'm not going to tell you if you do these things you're going to become a millionaire tomorrow, but you can start seeing some positive changes in your life. So number 1, the first thing that I thought about every single day is called philosophy. Philosophy is the way you determine your life. The moment you're born until today helps to determine your philosophy. And from the moment you were born, since you were a little baby, you know, everything that everybody told to you, every word, every expression, every phrase that somebody told to you as a baby and as you were growing up helps develop your philosophy. The interactions that you had with people, with things, everything that you've lived since you were born until this day helped to determine your philosophy. And the philosophy is like the set of the sail. Your philosophy determines where you're gonna go with your life, if you're gonna be successful or not. Now, I come from a very poor philosophy background. My, you know, my dad was a Domino's Pizza delivery boy, my mom was a maid. Now, one thing that I did learn from my dad was hard work. To never stop working until you get what you want, right? And so I learned from my dad hard work, but unfortunately not, not even my dad had the correct philosophy to be successful. And so I needed to learn from somebody that was already successful what are the correct philosophies to have. So, you know, back in 2017 when I was 21 years old, I met this guy named Jim Rohn. And that guy, Jim Rohn, I consider my mentor. He changed my life completely. 5 years later, after listening to him, I became a self-made millionaire. In fact, if you want to watch the video that changed my life, it's in my channel here. Search for Jim Rohn Best Life Ever. It's in my channel here. Um, after watching that video, Jim Rohn Best Life Ever, that completely changed my life around. I became a self-made millionaire in my 20s. Um, and so the first thing that I learned from my mentor Jim Rohn is called philosophy. So once you start playing— so once you start changing your philosophy, everything starts changing for you. So my whole philosophy used to be I can't get rich. So my whole philosophy used to be I can't get rich, I can't change my life because, you know, the government's messed up, the taxes are messed up, the school is messed up, the universities are messed up, you know, everybody's messed up. You know, if my salary is this low, you know, I'm from Brazil where I used to make $150 a month, a month. And I used to think, you know, if my salary is this low, how can they expect me to do well, right? How can they expect me to be successful and grow and whatever if I only make $150 a month? You know, my whole explanation was if they— if my salary is this low, how can they expect me to do— well, if taxes are too high, how can they expect me to do well? You know, if the government is so corrupt, how can they expect anybody to do well? You know, if I come from a poor family, if I didn't— if I wasn't brought up in money, how can, you know, they expect me to make money? And so that used to be my whole philosophy up until 2017, age 21, when I met my teacher Jim Rohn. And then I changed my philosophy to it's not the country that's messed up, the taxes that are messed up, the government that are messed up, the college that are messed up, the education system that's messed up. No, but what's messed up is my own personal philosophy. That's what changed for me, and 5 years later I became a millionaire. So number 1, the thing that I thought about every single day is my personal philosophy. Once you change your philosophy, everything changed for you. Number 2 is attitude. What you need to have is the attitude of somebody who's successful. Once you change this, everything will change for you. Pay attention. So number 1 is philosophy, number 2 is now attitude. Now, what is attitude? You need to have a good attitude towards life and towards things and towards the community and towards everybody to be able to be successful, because guess what? It takes everybody else to make a market. One person doesn't build a business, one person doesn't build a market, one person doesn't build a church, one person doesn't build a community. It takes everybody to build this amazing earth and these amazing countries that we have filled with abundance and opportunity. It takes everybody to do this thing and keep this whole show running, you know what I mean? So you got to have a good attitude towards everybody else, number one. And number two, you got to have a good attitude towards yourself. So the sort of attitude that you need to have is, if Marcel can do it, I can do it. If he can read it, I can read it. If he can get it done, I can get it done. If he can build businesses, I can build build businesses. If he was born in a poor third-world country, dad was a Domino's Pizza delivery boy, mom was a maid, became a self-made millionaire in my 20s. There isn't anybody that can't do it. So that's the sort of attitude that you need to have. Number one, with everybody else. And number two, with your own self. And so number one, change your philosophy. Don't blame what's out there, blame what's in here. Number two, change your attitude towards everybody else and towards yourself. And number three, and not least important— in fact, if you do one and two right but you don't do number three, nothing will change for you. Number three is massive action. So number 1, philosophy. Number 2, attitude. Number 3, action. You need to take action on the things you learn or else nothing will change for you. You know, my stepdad, I love him to death, but I need to tell you something about him that's unfortunate but it's true. He is one of the smartest people I've ever met in my life. He has read so many books about so many subjects. I, when I was a teenager, I used to envy him for being so smart. But you know what happened? He has a lot of knowledge in his brain, but he doesn't have wisdom. And what's the difference between knowledge and wisdom, Marcel? So knowledge is just accumulated information in your brain that you don't do nothing with. It's just the potential, right? And then wisdom is the knowledge applied to action. And so number 3, you need to take action on the things that you learn. And so when I first met my teacher Jim Rohn in 2017 and I learned the things that I learned from him, I started taking action immediately. Immediately. I didn't wait till tomorrow, till next week, till next month, till next year. I started taking action immediately. And especially if you're watching this video, you feel inspired, take action, do it now. Because if you wait one day, one week, one year, the inspiration, the motivation that you're feeling now from watching this video is going to decrease. It's called the Law of Diminishing Intent. You intend to when the emotion and the motivation and the inspiration is strong, but that intention with time decreases until you get back to zero and you get back to living your old life. So if something touches you, if something moves you, if something inspires you, If something motivates you, take action. Take action now. Don't wait a single minute more. Don't wait a single minute more. So that's what I started to do when I first met my teacher, Jim Rohn, back in 2017. I started taking immediate action, and 5 years later I became a millionaire. So, so what I learned from my mentor, you know, change your philosophy, start reading books. You know, a lot of books that Jim Rohn recommended to me. Number 1, Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. That book changed my life. And as soon as I heard my mentor Jim Rohn talking about that book back in 2017, I immediately I immediately bought that book. I didn't wait a single minute more. In fact, I didn't even have money to buy the book at the time, so I download— I just searched online like free PDF Think and Grow Rich Napoleon Hill, and I just downloaded the free PDF on my phone because I didn't have money to buy the book, and I read the book on my phone. So no excuses, right? No excuses to do what you need to do, right? There's books that are free if you just Google it. So you have to start somewhere, right? But just start, take action. So number 1, Philosophy. Number 2, attitude. Number 3, take massive action towards your goals, right?
