Do You HATE Money? How To Improve Relationship With Money Matt Purcell and Sabri Suby

I want to know from you, Sabri, is one of the things that I've heard a lot about actually is the word money. And I think you have. You and I both have a pretty healthy. When you're a business owner, money, you just talk about money. I think it's important to talk about money. But it's funny how some people I talk to, they get uncomfortable with a topic called money about money. I don't know why. Do you ever find that's the case?

Yeah, yeah. Like, I think that, you know, people can get, you know, they can might watch my videos and think, like, oh, this dude's all about money, right? And realistically, the world that I operate in is business. And in business, money is the scoreboard. And, you know, I really, like, look at, you know, money as opportunity to make an impact on things that you want to do. You know, I grew up, you know, in a house where I was dirt poor, and money was always a problem, right? So it's like, that's been obviously a central point in my business and in my life is focusing on that. Because you can't help people, like a large scale of people if you don't have some kind of resources, right? You can either. Like, and I'm not saying that you need money to help people. That's bullshit, right? If you don't have any money, you can go work in a soup kitchen. You can give back to people that are less fortunate, right? You can. You can make impact in other ways, right? But if you want to have, like, real impact and do a lot, you're going to need some vehicle that's going to give you money in order to make that change, right? Most of the people that we know and we think about, you know, people like Mother Teresa and Gandhi and all these people that made such big, profound impacts, they had some backup, they had some financial money coming in for them to allow them to get that message out. Whether it's partners or however you want to look at it, there's some kind of resource around that. And money is just a way to help people give back. And especially, like, if I look at, you know, the way that I look at business is that you've got a market right on one axis is like, you know, the value, and there's like a straight line going out. And as a business owner, you basically get to take a percentage of the value that you create in the marketplace, okay? So you don't make money unless you provide value to some degree. And when you're out there in a free market capitalistic economy like we operate, operate in. It's like you're really compensated by the amount of value that you provide to that marketplace. And in turn, when you provide that value and you collect money as a result of providing that value, then you can give back. Right? It's like a ripple effect. If you take one business owner and you double their business and you have double the amount of money coming in, that affects their employees, it affects their health and their well being. Right. It affects their children, it affects their social circles, the charities and churches and you know, philanthropy that they can do. And then it also affects all the people in society that look to that individual to what is possible in life. Right? So there's a profound effect that happens off that. And yeah, it's easy to get caught up in the money and just think like, oh, this dude's all about the money. But like, you know, at a certain stage that money doesn't have a big like materialistic impact on, on your life. And it's really just the impact that you can look that you make with that. And what, like what is the challenge and what is the climb that you're looking to go through? And I do see it like what you're saying, like people feel uncomfortable talking about money, right? And that's because they don't have a healthy relationship with money.

I agree totally. I agree and I've always say this to people, is that if I give a generous guy a million dollars, I've given him, he's got a million dollars to be generous with. And if I give a million dollars to a selfish bastard, he's got more to be selfish with. It's not money that's the problem. But people have, like you said, a really negative view of money because maybe they see examples of people power or abusing power. You got to find examples of whatever you can Google, you can find examples of everything. But I think we're kidding ourselves if we're robbing ourselves in society if we don't have a healthy chat about it.

And like I think that the whole money thing, right, like people think that like just because like I guess today's day and age with the media and like everything being so accessible and everything is much more documented than it was 100 years ago, right? So everyone looks at it now and they believe that like corruption is at an all time high, that money is polluting the world and it's creating this 1% that's more toxic than ever, yet they refuse to look back in history and look at when Alexander was 16 years old, going traveling country to country raping and pillaging for golden spices, right? So it's like this whole thing, there's always going to be people that have that hunger for, you know, where it's like greed and they're going to use these things to do certain things, right? Whether you're trading spices and you're a merchant or it's gold, or there's always going to be that innate thing that's going to be in people. And you can choose to focus on like, the pitfalls and the negative things. But if you remove money from the equation, right, like, and you just remove that, there's going to be something else that comes about. And if you just look at history to date, you know, people complain about capitalism and they talk about socialism and all these things. It's like, you know, in my opinion, capitalistic as that as a, as a function of society is the most successful one, right? You look at the other ones and you look at those countries and the socialist countries, it's like, well, that's not like abundance. You know what I mean? Abundance. Like there's on one end, you look at abundance and you look at the greed and stuff that's spills off the back of that. But on the other end, it's like you look at the opposite to that in other kind of societies, whether it's communism or socialism or whatever it might be. And you know, you look at those people, is that an abundance or is it an oppression? So, like, I don't think that money is the issue. You know what I mean? It's more so like what you said. It's like if you give a million dollars to a greedy bastard, he's still going to be a greedy past it. Or do you give it to like somebody generous? They're still going to be generous, right? So it's really humans and human psychology. It's not the money component. And if you take that away, it's going to go back to people going and conquering land instead of money.
