Dirty Jobs Can Make You a Millionaire by the Age of 40!

We're looking for the next big app that we can build or we can get the X nft or the next bitcoin.

Hey everyone, my name is Mike Andes, I'm the founder of Augusta Lawn Care. We have over 85 locations around North America and today I'm talking about what you can do in your 20s and your 30s to be wealthy by the time you're 40 and throughout your 40s. Now wealth is obviously extremely subjective, but in my opinion you need at least a million dollars of net worth in America to be considered wealthy. And this is going to put you in the top couple percentage points of we in America. Now if you're looking for a quick way to make a buck and you're looking for overnight success or how to make a million dollars tomorrow or overnight somehow turn up drop shipping, you do absolutely no work whatsoever. This is the wrong video for you because that is not traditionally what's going to make someone into being ultra wealthy. If you look at most billionaires, they become billionaires when they're 60s, 70s and 80s, not when they're in their 20s and 30s. So that expectation that has been somewhat glamorized by people like Mark Zuckerberg is probably unlikely. And if you think that that's happen to you, you're probably going to be in for a massive awakening simply due to the fact that the probability and the odds of doing so are literally like one in a billion. So why is it that people are in their late 30s and still trying to figure out what they want to do? They don't have a lot of savings, they haven't built any wealth. Well, I'm going to go over the three things today that I think most people should be doing in their 20s and 30s but are not. And if they were to do those things by the time they hit 40 years old, they would be considered wealthy. The first thing is that they are unwilling, most 20s and 30 year olds are unwilling to do grunt work. We're looking for the next big app app that we can build or we can get the X NFT or the next bitcoin, or create some cryptocurrency and just get become rich overnight. And honestly that works for a couple people, but the odds are dramatically in your favor if you are going to be willing to do a service based business and do grunt work. The reason for this is because you always know there's going to be a demand to fix cars, mechanic, you always know there's going to be demand to clean houses, a janitorial service, you always Know that grass is going to grow and people need their lawn cut. A lawn care service. These are services that are not glamorous, they're not fun. But these service businesses have guaranteed demand and therefore have a much higher probability of becoming wealthy using those venues. Instead of trying to get the next hot number one app, or creating the next hit song, or creating a TikTok that has 5 billion views, the likelihood of those things happening is small. And yes, it does happen to some people. But you'd be much better off if you want guaranteed wealth if you actually follow the method of the grunt work, doing things that other people are not willing to do. Because if it was easy and everyone could just flip a switch and create an NFT and flip it tomorrow and make a million dollars, guess what? Everyone would be doing it. Well, if it's so difficult, it's probably because most people are not willing to do what it takes to get there. And for most people in their 20s and 30s, doing grunt work, getting their hands dirty and doing a service based business is something they don't want to do. Now, doing grunt work might not necessarily mean that you're breaking a sweat or getting your hands dirty, but it might mean that you take an internship or you do work for a lower hourly in order to get the education and the skills and the experience from a specific workplace that will serve you in the future in your career. The second thing that keeps so many 20 and 30 year olds away from wealth as they begin to grow in their career is they get distracted by opportunity. Because there's so many opportunities at that age. I'm 26 years old right now and there's a billion things I could be doing. Different business opportunities and people come to you, ideas and all the rest of it. And so many times if you have the entrepreneurial bug, you'll get so distracted with the different opportunities that you fail to lock in on one idea, one business, one opportunity for five, 10, 15 years. Wealth is traditionally built over multiple decades, not over a couple weeks, months or even a few years. Typically if you say ultra focused, it's like a racehorse when they put on the blinders for that horse, it's to keep everything, all the distraction, all the noise, people throwing popcorn and all the rest of it out of their vision so they can stay on, focus on one thing and that's the finish line. But unfortunately for most 20 and 30 year olds, we all of a sudden get disillusioned with everything happening around us, what are saying and different things that are, you know, you can make money doing this, you can make money doing this, you can make money doing dropshipping, you make money. And we get so distracted by all the opportunities of making money. A different career path, a different business plan, a different way of doing business. And we get so wrapped up and so distracted in those things. We don't have the patience to diligently hone our craft at our business or even in our career that we just go jump from job to job, or we jump from business to business, and before we know it, we don't get anywhere. We might be running and running and running, but because we're not going in one singular direction with patience and fortitude towards that one common goal, instead we're going here and then here and then here and then here. And we're like a squirrel because we're completely distracted by all the opportunities. And with the Internet and with social media, opportunities will just become more and more abundant. People will constantly be making millions of dollars here and millions of dollars there, and you'll be distracted with, oh, I could do that, I could flip cars, I could do this, I could do E commerce. And all of a sudden you don't have the patience to actually stay dedicated to the thing that's gonna make you money. 5, 10, 15 years is typically what's required to start a business. Figure out the systems of the business, scale the business, and then make it ultra profitable. So for someone that only can last one or two years doing any one thing, they're traditionally not going to build up enough momentum to actually get it to profitability to the point where they build ultra wealth. And the third thing that keeps people in their 20s and 30s from ever amassing much wealth by the time they're 40 is that they have an inability to disconnect their lifestyle from their income. Because as their income starts to go up and they start beginning becoming successful, maybe they do stay focused on their business or their career. Maybe they do take a lower salary in order to stay somewhere for five, 10 years and get skills and just learn so much, even if they are an employee. And that's all fine and good, but then as they do begin to make more money, maybe 5, 10, 15 years go by, they start to make extra profit in their business, they get a higher salary, and what do they do? They match their lifestyle with their income as it goes up. So instead of amassing wealth and buying assets that go up in value over time, then buying depreciating assets like boats, an rv, another car, another house, and all of a sudden the cost of their lifestyle eats up any additional income that is becoming theirs. As their career grows, as their business grows, instead of putting that money aside, saving it and investing it, they allow their lifestyle and all the flashy things that they see on Instagram to become what is their goal. And therefore, they spend their money on those things and those items and those purchases instead of building wealth. And building wealth does not come in the form of buying fancy cars, big houses, or living a lavish lifestyle. It means having a surplus of income over your expenses. So as your income rises, make sure that your expenses don't also go up so that in time, you can actually have a higher and higher delta between expenses and income. That gap right there, that difference, that ratio is what will allow you to become ultra wealthy. Now, you might be at a place where you don't have a business and you want to get into the entrepreneurial game. You want to start growing your company, but you don't really know what to start.
