Of course, we want to have a lot of money as well, but we want to learn really how to change our consciousness or change our mindset so we could feel and live more richly.

Uzi, how are you?

Fantastic.

Good to be here.

It's fantastic to be here, and I can't believe this is our third podcast.

Wow. It's my honor.

Baruch Hashem, it's unbelievable. I'm so honored, and I feel really blessed that that I—

We have the opportunity.

To have the opportunity to speak to you as really one of the most influential people in my life and in many other people's life through your YouTube channel.

You know, in Hebrew you say, don't mourn me.

Let's get to the point. I'm not going to mourn you, but I just want the audience to know that the information that we are about to share with you is really going to be life-changing, so pay attention.

What is wealth consciousness? What do we mean? You know, usually when we talk about wealth consciousness, people think about, I'll stay in the middle of the road and I reward to get. I'm waiting for others to give me. I'm waiting to get to, I deserve to have a better car. I deserve to have a better apartment. I deserve to make more money. And it's not wealth consciousness. You know, wealth in Hebrew, it's Shefa. Shefa, it's like about giving, about being influencing. What does it mean influencing?

Influencing.

That's it. Wealth consciousness, it's all about me thinking what is the value that I'm giving to the world, to my community. What can I give? What do they need from me? And if I know what is the value that I'm giving to the world, in that sense that I have, that I know that I'm influencing, it's not I am influencing, it's that I'm delivering someone to someone else. I am like a wagon that Brings all the good, goodness. You say at the beginning, stay with us, we want to give you value. What does it mean value? That you want to influence. What does it mean to the, to the one that is listening that is now ready to accept something that will make him influencer? Influencing is not about making people listen to me, is about making people influencing by themselves. But you cannot be influencing if you do not receive. So What we try to say is about what is money. Money, it's all, you know, it's a currency. It's a way that I give you value, you give me money. And if I do not have money, what does it mean? If I do not have money, if I don't have enough money, it's like I don't earn enough. It means that I do not create enough value. Either I do not believe in the value that I have, that I can bring to the world, that the world is waiting for me. You know, in Judaism, the world could be your spouse, the world could be another person. The world today It's easier than ever before to create community and to give this community a value. And a value is something that will make them influencer things by themselves. So wealth consciousness is all about me, not complaining that I didn't get enough. Because if I'm in the middle and I think that I deserve, and I deserve to get to accept, and I deserve a new car, that means I am in consciousness of receiving, not in giving. And if I'm in depression, An influencer, a wealth consciousness, can never be in a place of depression. Why? Because when I'm in depression, it's all about me. I am not influencing. I do not accept. So someone with wealth consciousness should, must think about what he gives to the world. What's—

Right. So you're saying there is a direct correlation between the value a human being provides to humanity to how much money they have in their bank? Accounts, pretty much.

There is, you know, there are all kinds of currency. There is all kinds of things that I give and I get in return. Like some, there are those who want, they give value and they want to get instead of the value, love or appreciation or respect.

So the currency doesn't always have to be money.

Yeah, yeah. I'm ready to give everything to have more time. I don't need money. I need time. Why? Because I want to be a researcher. I want to learn. So I'm ready to to pay, not to accept money, but just give me time to learn, to stay with myself. It's Hakabbar Banel was like this. There were a time that he was so rich, but when he was so rich, he wrote. It was in the 15th century. It was the father of Bibi Netanyahu wrote about him his book and his post— not post— even more, one of his most important and prominent researchers. And he was a prominent scholar in Judaism. And he wrote, when I was rich, and he was very rich, in few periods in his life, and he said, all I want is time, time to learn, time to contemplate. And when he was poor and he wrote his commentary to the Torah, he said, wow, this is the best times of my life because now I have time. So currency, it depends on you. If you want time, if you want respect, if you want love, if you want— but money, it's one of the most dominant and one of the most important. And if you do not have money, that means you do not bring your value to the world, or either you do not believe in your value. It's like you do not believe that you have something to give. You do not believe that people want to hear you. You do not believe that, who am I that will speak about this thing? So it's like you are— you are—

and maybe if you even, like, let's just say you have a job or you have a business, but you're still struggling financially, maybe you need to kind of search within, maybe to see, um, you know, what more I can do. Maybe I'm not really doing my mission. Maybe I should do, I should provide more value in a way that I could maybe even start a new business or change something in my business to give more value and not put my interest or what I'm getting in the center, which is in other words, the reason why people are struggling sometimes to create, to be wealthy.

You touched the point. Usually, when you don't have enough money, you think, OK, I'll do more. But what you have to do is to get inside yourself and to start to contemplate a bit. Are you really connected? Think about two groceries. In one grocery, you will find the owner sitting like— and we got into one shop like that last week. I went with my wife, and we had to buy something very— something very small, $10, something like that. And the owner was so smiley and so happy. And he knew the secret of helping us and not bother us. And it was so nice. So we got out, we spent about $200 in this place. And then we got a day later to a place. We had a plan to buy some more. But we got into this place and the owner was like, we sat there and he was in a bit depression. He was struggling like everyone, but he didn't want his inner struggles. So we got in, we just took a few things, $10, and we ran out. Just bring me the milk and the bread that I need, and that's it. I don't want to stay here anymore. And you said something very strong. It's not about me. When I think it's about me, I'm losing the point. It's about what I can bring and believing in what I can bring. And of course, there is the connection between how much I earn to my consciousness that I have. I believe in myself, and I can bring something to the world.

Right. So that kind of brings me to the second question. Which I'm sure the audience also kind of thinking about it, because, you know, yeah, I understand I need to bring value, but how will I know what value I need to bring? I mean, there is so many things anybody could do to create value, but what is the specific value for each person and what is the value that I need to bring?

Wow, it's a beautiful question. You answered this question a minute ago. You said there is like, there is a contradiction between my interest to the value that I bring into the world. There is like a contradiction because when I'm bringing value, I cannot think about my interest. Interest usually conceals the value that I bring to the world. Why it conceals? Because I think about my interest. It's like I want to raise children and I want to think about my children and to discover in them their inner powers. And when I think about, about what do I get for my children and I want them to be quiet between 2 and 4 because I want to get to sleep or thinking about myself, I do not see really the value that I give to my child. Think about this salesman. You are a big salesman. It's one of your professions. You know how to do that. You knew how to do that. You did it a lot.

Yeah, I mean, I started in sales and I did very well, thank God.

And I remember when we were young, about when we were 17 years old, you knew how to sell things. And there is like, what is the secret of selling? The secret of selling, you told me a minute ago before the podcast that we started recording, the secret is to listen. To the customer. It's like, what do I mean? If there are two kinds of salesmen, one is bothered by his interest, he wants to sell to you. He has all those things that he wants to sell and he must sell those things, so he will try to convince you to buy those things. And there is the other one.

Nobody likes to be sold.

Yeah, you are close.

Nobody likes somebody that's selling to them, but people really love somebody who actually Listen to them and acknowledge their feelings.

Their needs. What you really need. And salesman, being a good salesman is all about knowing what you really need. So let's get back to your question. How do I know what is my value? The Baal Shem Tov, the founder of the Hasidut, of, you know, one of the most important movements in Judaism, said if you want to know which path to choose, You have the left path, the right path. Which road should you go in? What is your value? You should take aside your interest and listen carefully to what the world needs from you and where do you do your impact. And when you think about when you are just, you know, counting likes and say, okay, here people like me more, here people like me— you won't get your value. In order to get to know where is your value, you have to know where is your pleasure, your inner pleasure, where do you really bring your inner powers to, to walk. When you really do things, if you do not have pleasure in what you are doing, it will never succeed.

You mean, you mean not to know my value, but to know the value that I could, that I can bring to the people that is specific to me?

Put your interest about inside. It doesn't matter, your value could be in science. When you are, if you don't have pleasure in what you're doing science, then you won't continue. So what I'm, what I'm trying to say, it's like first pleasure Second, don't think interest. Think about usually when you want to grow, people that are more successful, there is time in their life that they are paying with comfort. They cannot allow themselves to be comfort. You have to give your best.

Step out of your comfort zone pretty much.

And not only comfort zone, but also real comfort. It's like you have to give up on— I heard MrBeast, you know, it's one number one YouTube channel. And he said, I don't care about money. I don't care about comfort. I don't care about having a better steak. No, this is not the deal here. The deal here is where I can make more content. More content is more influencing. More influencing is not about, as we spoke in one of our conversations, it's not about the others. It's about me discovering my creativity and innovation and all kinds of things like that.

My forces, my inner forces. Forces, bring them out.

But without discovering pleasure in what you're doing, pleasure is the most, is the higher value that we can have to ourselves, is the higher power that we have in our soul.

Pleasure, love it pretty much. You need to love it, you need to love what you're doing.

Pleasure means that I'm here and this is my place. And how can you know that you are in your place? If you will tell me, you know, Amos Oz, he was a famous writer in Israel, and before he passed away, He was interviewed and the interviewers asked him, "You are not regretting not to get the Nobel Prize?" And he said, "Prizes are something very silly because they give me prize for something that I will do for free. Even if you will give me a fine, I will do it." So if you tell yourself, "I'm ready to do that even if I'll get a fine, doesn't matter," that means that you're doing it because of the thing itself, not because of external reasons. And there you will find your value. There you will find what is your real pleasure. Because if you are a writer, you will write. And if you are—

Beautiful analogy. Really, really cool. So it's pretty much something that you would do regardless, no matter the reward. You're not seeking any type of reward. You're just going to do it because you feel that this is your mission. You have to do it. This is what you— the value you want to bring.

Your passion.

And it's your passion, something you—

And money will come.

Fall in love with it and money will come. You have to trust it because I know that a lot of people, especially artists, they are sometimes afraid to choose, okay, I'm going to do art and then say, oh, you know what? I'm going to be a lawyer because a lawyer, I can make more money or I can be a doctor. And really they could have been an amazing artist and they could have like artists that maybe create art that would change the world. But because of that fear to maybe not earn enough or not create value or they didn't believe in themselves. They chose something else and then after maybe 20 or 30 years practicing law, they realized, oh, maybe I just want to draw. I just want to paint. I just want to do something different.

It's so common to see those cases.

It's a lot of cases like that, unfortunately.

My daughter spoke with a friend and a friend, they are 15 years old, and she asked her friend, what do you want to be when you're grown up? And she said, I want to be a teacher. So my daughter asked her, you really want to be a teacher? It's like, if 'If you want to be a teacher, it's a great thing. Teacher influence more than any other people.' 'It's true.' 'It's a great thing, but you must want it. Otherwise, you do that without really passion to what you're doing, and it's not— you are like, you are counting hours until you go to— you'll retire.' And she said, 'No, I don't really want to be a teacher, but I want to be something else. But I think of myself with children, and it's easy work. Like, it's very easy. It's comfortable.' to what I want to be.

Summer vacation and something like that.

And, and my daughter was like, wow. I talked to her, there is something sad about it because you're not ready to discover what is your real value. So it's either, if you are not there, try to fall in love, to find passion in what you are doing. Passion, it's an indicator that you are ready to do more. What is pleasure? Will is that I'm doing whatever I need. Pleasure, it's that I do more than what do I need. And if we get back to wealth consciousness, wealth consciousness does not mean that you can never complain. When you complain, you are in poverty consciousness, because you say, I deserve something else, I'm not in my place, I'm losing something that I ought to be. And there is poor consciousness in marriage and raising children, because I think, oh, I should get I should have another spouse, a better one, a one that makes more money, a one that's— I always, I don't think that I'm in my place. I should be in another place. And when I think like that, that I should be in another place, I'm losing my place. And a part of being with wealth consciousness is to know that every place that you are is the best place that you can get, extract out of it all of the things that you should extract, where you should influence.

That's pretty amazing. It's like something that happens a lot when people just need to just make that shift, that mindset shift. And instead of seeing the wrong and complaining, because I think that one of the most toxic behaviors is somebody who complains and blames. You can blame politics, you can blame the prime minister, you can blame many things and complain about it too. But what happens when you do that, you're actually not being grateful and thankful for what you have, because what you have is amazing. First of all, if somebody is healthy, it's already an amazing advantage. I mean, look, I mean, it's just being healthy is such an amazing advantage. Just having a place to sleep, just having a roof over your shoulder, not to mention that having a cell phone, having a cell phone with an internet connection, It's such a powerful thing. You got a supercomputer right in your hand that could literally change the world if you just believe that you could do that. So definitely gratitude is probably the cure.

I think worse than gratitude is that when you complain and you blame others, you do not take responsibility. And when you do not take responsibility, you cannot change things. You're really waiting for others to change things. You don't say, it's all in my hands, I can do it, I can change, I can develop. You won't see a businessman thinking, why it happened to me? No, he's not thinking, why it happened to me? He's thinking, what should we do now? What is the task that we should adopt right now? So it's a different level of consciousness. And when you think like that, when you are always blaming others, you pay the price. It's not about gratitude, it's you pay the price, the emotional price, because you will always be in poverty consciousness, you said, oh, I'm not good, oh, I didn't deserve, oh, you will never enjoy life, you will never get to find the pleasure in whatever you are doing.

Absolutely, we just really need to just go for it and believe in ourselves and be thankful for what we have and, you know, use the tools and use the opportunities that we have today in our society to really break through all the barriers, you know, and And obviously there is nobody to blame but us. And provide value.

My money says that. My money says that. My money, the great Jewish scholar says that most of the troubles, most of the things that we suffer from, we are doing to ourselves. We are usually doing to ourselves. But you started with wealth consciousness. Real wealth consciousness is to know that you are not without a reason in this world. You are in this world with a reason. And if you are here, there's somebody that wants you, that loves you, that gives you all the opportunities to discover your inner powers. And you can do that. And go thinking about, oh, I have no— nobody needs me anymore, it will kill you. You cannot go to pension, you cannot retire. But if you think, okay, I have what to do, but now let's figure out, maybe I'll find it, maybe I won't, but Just to be in the movement of finding it will change the course of your life.

Yeah, I know that one of the greatest regrets on people's deathbed is not trying, because not trying is the biggest failure. Because if you tried and it didn't work out, you learned a great lesson. You did not fail, and that lesson made you stronger and better to succeed on your next try. So just keep on trying, never give up. And you will succeed for sure.

It's a very Jewish idea. It's a very Jewish idea. This is the secret of Jewish resilience for thousands of years.
