Success Series: 12 Reasons to Be Rich & 5 Success Principles to Live By (part 2)

What's up guys, welcome back to the podcast. We are diving into part 2 of this success series, and today we're going to be talking about 12 reasons for you to want to be rich and 5 success principles to live by. I'm really, really excited about this episode because there is so much juicy goodness inside here, so please stick around. If you're like, wow, this is not very tasteful, I'm already feeling kind of triggered, like, why would you want to be rich? There's way more to life than making money or being rich. Stay with me because we're really gonna dive deep into some of the maybe less thought about or less talked about reasons to desire wealth. And we know that money is such a taboo topic, and these are a lot of the times things that people don't talk as openly about in your friend groups or in your family. But this podcast is a place where we get to have these conversations. And so I'm excited to bring it to the table and expand your mind and hopefully give you some positive money mindsets for your life, your career moving forward. So let's kick it off with these 12 reasons to be rich. And the reason that we're going to talk about reasons to be rich is because the world is actually a better place when you are rich. Now, hear me out. I don't actually mean, you know, that life gets better for you, like the world is a better experience for you personally when you have lots of money to throw around. Although in some ways, of course, it does kind of get better when you have more money. But what I mean by saying that the world is a better place when you're rich is that the world literally is better off by you being in financial abundance. Right? And so that's what kind of what we're going to talk about here today. We're going to go deeper into this concept by unpacking these 12 really good reasons that will give you full permission to want to be rich. And I think that's what a lot of this part of the episode is, is it's really just a big fat permission slip for you to go, fuck yeah, like I want to make lots of money and to not feel guilty about that. Welcome to the Makeshift Happen podcast. I'm your host, Samantha Daly. Entrepreneur, life coach, and your no BS bestie here to bring you all things mindset, manifestation, and personal development. This podcast is designed to help you expand your mind and uplevel your life. So turn the volume up and roll the windows down if you're coming along for the ride. Let's go make shift happen. Number 1, the first reason for you to be rich is that more money literally equals more impact. The more money that you can create, the more people's lives that you can positively impact because you just have more resources available to do so. So that's number 1, short and simple. Number 2, more money equals a higher expression of your best self. Now, does this mean that you can't be your best self when you have less money? Absolutely not. But when you have more money, you have more freedom to do the things you love, to fill your own cup, and to show up as a better version for everyone in your life. Right? So you actually get to access this higher expression of your best self when you have more money because it allows you the freedom and the resources to be able to do the things and pour into yourself in the ways that are going to make you feel better more often and allow you to kind of access that version of yourself that does feel really full and whole and complete. And it's not to say that you can't be whole and complete without money, but it's just that when you have more resources, you are able to fill your cup more often or in better or more effective ways, right? So yes, are there beautiful and accessible ways to fill your cup that are completely free? Totally. Like getting out in nature or sunlight first thing in the morning, or drinking water or exercise, going for a walk, whatever it is. Yes. But also like, I don't want this whole episode to just be a disclaimer. About this is what I mean and this is what I don't mean. So let's just kind of ride out the rest of this episode with the sort of mutual understanding that we are on the same page here. And there's so much nuance to any conversation about money, and there's so many other people's real lived experiences that are probably not going to be accounted for in this conversation. And yet it is still a powerful conversation and it's one that many people need to hear. Okay, so I just want to be done like caveating every single thing. And making the whole thing a disclaimer because it's not enjoyable for me and it's also not enjoyable for you. So we get the point. Moving on. Number 3, more money in the right hands equals more positive change in the world. And so this kind of expands on the idea of like more money and more impact. But when we, we look at this from a more specific lens, what we're talking about is the fact that when conscious people have more money, they can create massive change in the world. They can help evolve our education systems. You know, they can rise into positions of power in corporations, changing rules or regulations or even legislation in governments. Or people who rise into a place of financial abundance may even have extreme levels of influence., right? Someone like Kim Kardashian comes to mind who has used her influence and power, and that comes from, you know, her being a, a billionaire and a fashion icon and one of the most famous people in the world, right? She's been able to use that influence and wealth and power to actually free dozens of innocent people from prison for crimes that they either didn't commit and were wrongly convicted of, or that were nonviolent drug offenses and they were wrongly sentenced to so many years or to life or whatever the case was, right? And so she's actually saved inmates who were on death row and they were literally headed for death all through the power that money and status affords her. And this is possible only because she has that sort of level of influence and wealth and power. She can easily get the attention of lawmakers, of other influential people, of governors, or even be able to get a meeting with the President of the United States to exonerate people that are on death row, which are things that she's done before, right? And so it's just one example of how when more money goes into the right people's hands, or it funnels into people's hands who want to do good things with it, a lot of positive change is powerful. And so imagine if you were one of these extremely wealthy people. Maybe you're not a billionaire, but also maybe you are, right? But even with like smaller or more conservative levels of wealth, we can still do so much good in the world, right? Like, think about what it would mean for you to even just have like $5,000 extra dollars a month and what that would mean for things that you could donate to or causes that you could become an advocate for or that you could send supplies to or whatever. Like, we can just create so much more positive change change in the world when money is going into good people's hands. And so if you are a good person, if you're a heart-centered individual, if you are driven by the idea of service, if you have big dreams for humanity, for the environment, for our world, for education, and you want to see these positive changes, then it's actually one of the most spiritual things that you could do is to figure out a way to become wealthy. Because in that way, you're going to have connections with other wealthy people who also have influence and have power and have resources. And that's the way that we to make changes, right? And so putting more money in the right hands of good heart-centered people is really, really important. And I know a lot of you that listen to this podcast fall into that category of people who have really big dreams and beautiful hearts and things that you want to see happen in our world. And the fact of the matter is, is that you're probably going to need money or resources or influence of some kind to be able to make that happen. And so this is, again, just a powerful reason and permission slip for you to desire or be okay in wanting to be rich because the world literally gets better when you get more money and you're able to actually execute on these things that you have on your heart. Okay. Number 4 is more money means the ability to solve a lot of problems without as much stress. Right? And so there's this saying of like, more money, more problems, but It's really the more accurate description is more money, different problems. And so what we can't deny is that having money helps us solve a lot of problems in our life. I mean, think about some of the things that are stressing you out right now, and I want you to count on your hands or in your head how many of those things would be either completely solved or nonexistent would be on their way to being solved if you had a lot more money to throw at them. Maybe you're stressed about things like debt or student loans, or you need a new car, or you want to buy a house, but the market is absolutely crazy right now, or your kids need to go to college or whatever it is. It's like, yeah, there's actually a lot of problems that we could solve if we had more money, a.k.a. more resources to do so. And so that would allow us to eliminate a lot of these stressors from our life. Does it mean that there wouldn't be new problems or different problems that money would create that you would then have to solve? No, of course. Like I just said, more money equals different problems. Does it mean that you would be completely stress-free? Also, no. I think that's a fallacy that we believe, like, oh, if I just had more money, if I could just go into a store and buy whatever I want, if I could just go on vacation whenever I wanted to, or whatever the stories are we have in our head, we think that in that case we would just live this beautiful, non-stressful, carefree life. And that's also not totally true. But there's no denying the fact that there's a lot of problems that we're facing right now that money could easily solve, or at least help contribute to reducing the problem in our life. And that would relieve a lot of stress from us. And so that's a really good reason to want to be rich, right? I mean, if you think about even stupid examples like simple things. Let's say a friend comes over to your house and you just got a brand new beautiful white sofa. It's a couple thousand dollars because couches are expensive these days. And this friend spills wine all over the couch and it's this horrible stain and it's really hard to get it out on your own and you're gonna have to get it professionally cleaned or there's gonna— you're gonna have to call the store and try to replace the cushion or whatever. It's like, okay, immediately if you have money and resources to be able to throw at that problem, you don't have to be as stressed out by it. You don't have to be as pissed at your friend. You don't have to let that interfere with the, the friendship or your reaction in that moment because you're like, oh, it's, you know, I mean, it's an inconvenience, but like, it'll be fine. Do you know what I mean? Or something like your car breaks down or you miss a flight or one of your flights gets canceled, um, or your luggage gets lost when you're traveling. And it's like, okay, you know, we could freak out about this, but if you have the money or the resources, you could just go, okay, instead we're going to stay calm, we're just going to trust the process, we're going to book a new flight, or we're going to go out and we're going to buy the things that we need since our luggage isn't here, and everything's going to be okay. But of course, if you don't have the money or the resources that's a really big fucking problem because you can't afford to get another flight, or you can't afford to go out and buy clothes and makeup and all the things that you need because your bags didn't arrive, right? Or maybe a family member has a medical emergency of some kind, and it's really stressful if you're unable to help and they need financial support. Like, of course you want to help them. And that leads really beautifully into one of our other reasons. So we'll go into the fifth reason, which is When we're rich, we can take care of our loved ones on a whole new level. And so we can provide things for not only ourselves and maybe your spouse, or do fun things with your friends, but also like generational wealth of being able to provide things for your children like never before, or being able to thank our parents in really beautiful ways for all of the things that they've done for us. I mean, how many famous people have you heard say that one of the first things they did when they made it big or when they got their first massive paycheck was buy a house for their mom or something like that, right? It's, it's a classic story because we are natural givers. We want to help. It's innate within us to be generous, to be giving, to be helpful. But the problem is that a lot of us are not even able to fill our own cup or meet our own needs. So how are we supposed to pour over into our neighbors and our friends and our family and our parents and our children? We want to see other people thrive with us, but first we have to put ourselves in the flow of abundance, or else we're never going to be able to access that deep desire that most of us have to be a giver and to be really generous and to help the people that you love and care about and contribute to causes that are important to you. Right? And so when we're rich, you know, we can take care of our loved ones on a whole new level. Number 6, when you feel abundant, you are more likely to give back, lean into generosity, and help others, which is another way to say the same thing that we just said. But instead of it just applying to, you know, loved ones, it's like now because we have this overflow, because we have this abundance, we're more likely to give back, uh, to contribute to causes, to help other people who are on a similar path to you. If you're an entrepreneur, maybe you want to do something that helps other entrepreneurs, or maybe you want to become an investor and you want to invest in other people's dreams and companies and things that you see really big potential in, because you have that money to be able to give back and reach out and lean into the generosity. So there's just so many opportunities for us to be in overflow when we have this excess of abundance. Okay, so I have something I think you're really gonna love, and your business is gonna love it even more.

If you are extremely limited in your finances, there is also a limitation on the amount of things that you're going to be able to do in your life or the amount of places that you're going to be able to see or travel to. It's just there's no way really around it. And so more money actually equals more experiences. What a beautiful reason and permission slip for you to want to be rich, because you get to actually experience more of life, more of what the world has to offer, more of your one wild and precious human existence on planet Earth. Because living a rich life isn't just about having money or making money or even giving money, but it's actually about doing things with the money that you dream of doing, right? What's the purpose of creating wealth or abundance if we're not creating the experiences and the kinds of things that we've always dreamed of? So things like traveling, or maybe you want to live nomadically, or you want to go on retreats, or you want to host retreats, or you want to go to the mountains and snowboard for 2 months of the year, and then you want to go to a surf town and you want to be like a surfer on the beach for 3 months of the year, whatever it is, like all these crazy things. Maybe you want to go skydiving, whatever your dreams are. When you have more money and more resources, you can make those things more possible, more accessible to you. And what is life other than a reason to experience as much as we can, right? If you guys listened to the first episode in the Top Tier series where I talked about building a top tier life, that episode was all about about like the core pillars of a top-tier life. And what we talked about, which is, you know, the things that I think build up a top-tier life, are relationships and experiences. And so what is a double whammy here is like, if you have the money to be able to do lots of fun, cool things and create these beautiful experiences, how amazing to be able to then share that with your family and bring both of those things together and create this really beautiful top-tier life, and we need money to be able to facilitate that, to do that. So yeah, it's okay to want to be rich because there's lots of good reasons for it. Number 8 is that health is wealth and also vice versa. Health is wealth and wealth is health. Not always, of course, but if we want it to be, it can be, because financial abundance allows you to really upgrade your self-care and take care of your health to the best of your ability. I'm sure there's a lot of girls listening to this podcast that are like, you know, there's so many things in the wellness space or the holistic space or the personal development space that you have been like wanting to do. Like, I'd love to do a monthly membership over here, or I'd love to have this experience, or I'd love to do this treatment or try this thing or have these supplements or stock my kitchen with these types of things. You would love to do those things. But what is in the way a lot of times is the finances, right? And so being financially abundant allows you to upgrade your self-care in a lot of tangible ways. Things like holistic medicine, supplements, massages, facials, cupping, acupuncture, cold plunges, healthy organic foods, a personal trainer, like a bougie gym membership, health clubs. Like there's so many things that you can do for your health when you have the wealth to be able to support it. Number 9 is that more money equals more opportunities to grow. And this one is really about personal development, at least it is for me, right? Because that's my whole sort of shtick, is like personal development. So when I think about what it means like to have more money and allow that to give us more opportunities to grow. It's like, well, when you have more than enough, you're able to invest in education, personal development, and your mental health in a lot of new and creative and fun and exciting, innovative ways, right? There's probably seminars or courses or certifications and trainings and therapy or retreats or some like live experiences like a Tony Robbins or a Dr. Joe Dispenza event or whatever other— like a biohacking conference, like whatever other crazy things that you want to do that can actually help contribute to your growth. Maybe there's masterminds that you want to get into or, you know, business experiences, tables that you want to have a seat at, but there is a financial requirement. So yeah, more money can help give us more opportunities to grow. Number 10 is that more money can help us access peace of mind. Yeah, I mean, it gives us the freedom to leave toxic work environments. If you have the safety net, if you have the finances, you can probably leave a toxic job sooner than someone who really has to stay there in order to make ends meet. Um, it gives us the freedom or the resources to leave abusive relationships. Because we know that we'll be able to take care of ourselves without them. There's so much freedom and peace of mind that having more money can bring us. And I think that's like a— I don't know, like, I don't think it should be controversial, but I do think that one's a little bit controversial. It's like the, you know, money can't buy you happiness sort of thing. It's like, well, kind of. It kind of does, right? And we talk about this. I go way more in-depth into those things in some of my money programs. But I mean, it's from a business perspective too. It's like, uh, when I think about peace of mind, if you want to hire someone to do something for your business or you want to delegate a task, but you want to make sure that it's going to be done in a really professional way, or it's going to be done at the level that you want it to be done at. So you're going to have to hire like a quality employee, right? And so any, in order to be able to do that, you've got to be able to pay them a reasonable rate or a fair rate or an even great rate, right? And so you can have a lot more peace of mind in your business if you know that you have a lot of A players working for you. But A players don't work for cheap, right? A players cost money. But if you have the money, you can hire the right people and you can successfully delegate, and then you don't have to be a micromanager, and then you don't have to be on top of people all the time, and then you have more peace of mind. So there's tons of examples that we could think of if we sat here for long enough to really dissect it, but that's a really good one. Okay, number 11, another reason to be rich is that money can help you start your dream business that will fulfill you on a soul level and also help your clients or customers in the process. If you have like a, a nest egg or a safety net or savings of some kind, or you have the financial resources, then it's gonna be a lot easier for you to go out and start your dream business because you're going to have safety. And that's one of the biggest reasons why people postpone starting their businesses or doing work that they really love or pursuing their passion, is because they are glued to an office chair because of the sense of safety that that salary provides them. And if they don't have anything else, then it's oftentimes way too terrifying for them to go out on a limb or take the risk to invest in themselves and get help from a business mentor or actually start that process of building their business. And so if you have more money, you're probably gonna have an easier time to be able to take that risk because it's actually gonna feel a lot less risky. To you to begin with. Not to mention, like, if you have the resources you can pour into your business, and maybe you can delegate faster, or you can have higher quality graphics, or you can have a social media manager, or whatever it is that you feel like you need support with, you can probably get that more easily and effectively if you have the resources to do so. Um, so yeah, not only could things like working for yourself really change your life— this is the second piece to this, right? But we also have to understand, it's a valid point here too, speaking of Reasons to Be Rich, is like, it's not only gonna change your life to start a business and be able to live out your passion and do something that, do some kind of work that feels purposeful, but it could also change the lives of hundreds or thousands of other people who you work with or who come in contact with your content or your work in some way. And so you create a ripple effect of really altering the collective consciousness of our world and waking people up and allowing a larger percentage of the population to operate from a place of love rather than fear, which in turn has an even larger ripple effect, right? Like if we could get more people to operate from a place of love rather than fear, which is a lot of what this personal development space is about, and it's what a lot of you have businesses around or that you want to create businesses around. What sometimes I think we lose sight of is truly how impactful that really could be. I was just talking to Jaime about this the other night. We were coming back from dinner and we were having a conversation and I was like, it's so crazy to think that like literally almost all of the biggest issues that we have in the world is because people are not healed. People are operating from a place of fear. They're operating from a triggered or activated state. They don't know how to regulate their nervous system. They are not emotionally intelligent. They are lost and they're trying to grab for power or significance or love or respect in some way. We see this so much with world leaders, with politicians, with um, big corporations with CEOs of major companies, um, you know, people who are doing things that are really detrimental to our environment. It's like those people are operating from a place of ego and fear, and they are money hungry for the wrong reasons. Again, another reason why we need to put money in the hands of good-hearted people, right? Because then Hey, don't forget that every month we are picking a Listener of the Month to win $50 in cash just for showing love to the show. All you have to do is leave an epic review of the podcast on Apple Podcasts, screenshot the review before you hit submit, and DM that screenshot to us on Instagram @makeshifthappenpodcast. And that's it. I want to thank you for being such a loyal listener and show my appreciation by putting a little extra cash in your pocket. It. I know it's super easy not to do it, but every single rating and review seriously helps the show rank higher and reach new people, so we appreciate them more than you know. We'll announce the next winner at the end of the month and slide into your DMs if it's you, so keep an eye out and good luck. Love you guys, and thanks for supporting Makeshift Happen. A lot of this shit wouldn't happen, but so when we think about like a lot of our world's biggest problems, how much could be solved if more people were doing the work? If more people were going to therapy, if more people were healing their shit and dealing with their traumas. And instead of, you know, rising to a place of power so that they could control everybody or so they could do fucked up stuff, that they were actually using power and influence for a positive reason. Right. And so you doing this work or starting a business of some kind, you might think like, oh, you know, it's not that I'm— how much of an impact am I really going to be able to have? Like little old me. But no, it's really actually massive because every person that you impact is then going to go out into their friend groups and out into their families and out into their workplaces. And they're going to start operating from that place of love. They're going to start operating from that place of a positive mindset. And other people around them are going to feel that. They're going to assimilate to that. They're going to be intrigued by that. They're going to ask that person, hey, like, I've noticed you making so many changes. You look so happy. Like, what have you been doing? Or they're just gonna have more conversations with them and they're gonna tell them naturally about what they've been learning and the mindset shifts they've been experiencing. And then from there, like, it just goes out further and further and further. And so it has this larger ripple effect of reducing things like violence in our world and depression and hopelessness and people's triggered reactions and negativity and so much of what plagues our world right now. So yeah, more money can help you start your dream business, but if your dream business is something that's going to help other people, then those people could help people in their lives, and so on and so forth, until we make a really truly massive impact on our world where we stop seeing so much of these, you know, triggered trauma responses playing out in really serious ways. And of course, like, that takes time and evolution. But I think our generation is the generation of people who are like initiating this ripple effect of change, and we get to choose to be part of that story, part of that movement, part of that journey. And so what a beautiful reason to be rich, right? Okay. Our last and final reason to be rich, number 12, is that financial freedom feels good. That's it. Financial freedom. It just feels good. Like, maybe that's enough. You know, maybe you don't want to start a business that changes people's lives. Maybe you just want to be able to have more than enough to take care of yourself and your family and to feel good a lot of the time. And what I'll say about this is that even if that's all that you do, even if your work or your business or your career is not centered around, you know, elevating the collective consciousness or personal development work of some kind or helping people heal or therapy or anything like that, just you feeling good more often has its own really power ripple effect, right? Because when you feel good, your energy touches and impacts every person that you come in contact with, which over time, when enough people are consistently feeling good and everyone who they're coming into contact with is feeling that positive vibration and they're getting that sense of joy and happiness and overflowing enthusiasm for life, that helps raise other people's frequencies, right? And so we raise the frequency of the rest of the world like a butterfly effect. And of course it happens slowly as we start, but then it grows and it grows and it grows and it's like a snowball. And so you may think that it doesn't really matter if you feel good most of the time because how is that going to change the world? But something as small as you being in a really good mood and you going to the store and deciding to hold the door for someone, that moment of you holding the door could put them in a really good mood. And that could be a ripple effect where they go back into the car with their partner and they give their partner a compliment, or they simply are in a better mood and they smile and that makes their partner smile. And then their partner goes back to work and instead of being grumpy, they are kind to their coworker. And then that coworker who received that kindness is like, wow, today was a really great day at work. And then they go home to their kids instead of yelling or being pissed because they're in a good mood, they're like, hey, how was your day, guys? Let's play. And so it's just these simple little things that we don't think about, but all of our dots— we're all dots on the earth and we are all connected. And the more good you can feel, the more good you ultimately get to do. And it's not even that you have to try to actively do it through a business or content or any of those things, although you can if you want to, but it's It's simply understanding that you feeling good most of the time is actually really important work for the rest of the world. And the fact of the matter is that when you have financial freedom, you are bound to feel good more often for many of the reasons that we've already covered in this list, right? Of eliminating some of those stressors, being able to help people in your life, being able to help yourself, filling your cup, self-care, health, all of these things.. And so just that feeling good more often is in and of itself a super relevant, really important, and actually impactful reason for you to want to be rich. You having more money quite literally makes the world a better place. That's what I want you to walk away from this episode understanding and feeling on a deep level, is that it is spiritual work for you to figure out how to get more money, how to get in the flow of abundance, how to put yourself in a position of financial overflow or wealth. That is you doing really important work, not only for yourself and for your family, but for the world. And so it is important to consider, how can I go about this, right? And, and starting a business isn't everybody's path. It could be in your career, wanting to make an advancement or wanting to make a pivot, or wanting to start a side hustle or whatever it is, it doesn't matter. But it's like, it's actually your duty to figure out how you can position yourself so that you can get into the flow of more abundance. Okay. So that's kind of our first little section of this episode. The other thing that I wanted to talk about in this part of the success series are these principles, these success principles to live by, because I don't want us to associate like having money with being successful because I don't think that those two things are necessarily the same because you could have a lot of money and be a really shitty person or be super miserable. And to me, like, that's not success, right? And so success is something that you define for yourself and that's a whole other conversation, but it's worth mentioning. That like, what would it look like for you to really unpack what the world has taught you that success means? But then to really ask yourself, and if I had that, would I be happy? Would I be fulfilled? And would I feel successful? Right? Because a lot of times when we think about success, especially for people from like my generation, we are really focused on our well-being and Fulfillment, I think, is a, is a deeper, more important word for us. And even more important than that is probably freedom. That's a word that is so important to so many people of our generation. That's what we're seeking. We want the freedom, whether it's the financial freedom or the time freedom or the location freedom. We're just like, freedom, freedom, freedom, fucking give it to me, right? Every way I can take it. Give me more freedom. Right? And so you want to take a look at your definition of success. And maybe you've never done this before, but this is really important for you to do because the world will tell you what it means to be successful. Your parents will tell you what it means to be successful. School will tell you what it means to be successful. And then you will get there and you'll be like, and I am not happy. And if you're not happy, to me, that's not success. Right? So you've got to create your own definition of what success means. And it's not just about money, of course, right? Because you could be killing yourself, bending over backwards in a job that you hate, or that's really stressful, or that takes you away from your family or your kids or whatever. And you're like, this sucks. And you could be so rich, but you probably wouldn't feel successful. Because to a lot of us, success is actually more closely correlated with fulfillment and freedom than it is to wealth. However, having the financial resources, which is why we did this first segment of this episode, because we don't want to go so far in the other direction where we're like, it's so true. Like, yeah, I could just be happy, like being a hippie and living in a yurt and whatever. Like, yeah, maybe you could, right? If that's your story. Then it is what it is. But I think we get to find this like happy medium, right, where money gets to support us. It gets to help us feel safe and secure and free. And also we can pursue our own individual versions of success that don't just equate to money, money, money, money, money at all costs. Okay, so these are the 5 success principles to live by. The first one is be delusional enough to believe in your dreams before anyone else does. This is really, really important because so many people are like waiting for the validation of their friends or their family or their parents or their high school friends or whatever to be like, oh my God, I love your business idea and it's amazing and you're the best and keep going. And Oftentimes, almost all the time, I guess I would say you don't get that until you've already done the thing, right? The reaction that you're hoping for, that you're desiring to be the fuel in your fire to actually go out and pursue your dreams, you're not going to get that until you've already done the thing. So you have to be delusional enough to believe in your dreams before anybody else does, before anyone's validating you, before anybody thinks it's a good idea, before anyone else is like, yeah, totally, I fully support you, go for it. You've got to be willing to say fuck it and really believe in yourself and go for it. There's this quote that we've all probably heard before. I think it's a pretty famous quote, but I'm not sure who said it. Um, the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones that do. It's just so true. Like, the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones that end doing it. And that's exactly what this success principle is about. Like, there's an element of crazy or delusion that's required for you to be successful, right? Successful meaning whatever it means to you, because it's going to mean something different than what it means to your sister or your mom or your dad or your teachers or the world at large or your neighbors or whoever the fuck else. Right? So you've gotta be delusional in trusting yourself and believing in the vision and going after it before there's any of the validation. Okay? Success principle number 2 is stop over-consuming and under-implementing. I'm talking about this a lot right now with my, uh, clients inside of the Top Tier Mastermind. We are in this process of going deep into our creative vortexes, and I'm having them do this really intense challenge, and it's been a lot of fun. But we've had, uh, some serious conversations about the overconsumption and under-implementation that often happens. And so instead of you reading like 10 books and doing nothing, maybe you should just read one book and actually integrate the practices and principles into your life, right? The same goes for courses and podcasts and YouTube videos and all of the shit that we are like shoving down our throats. We are drinking content from a fire hose and there's no possible way that we could integrate or make effective decisions that are in alignment with all the things that we've learned because we've just been learning so freaking much. And learning is important, right? And it's important to be a forever student and all the things, but also it's really important to recognize when you're consuming from a place of lack, of thinking, if I just knew more, if I just knew more, if I just knew more, I'm gonna learn this next thing and then I'll be relevant and then I'll be important and then I'll know what to say and then I'll have a better video and then my content will be better and then I'll know how to improve my course. And then I'll— like, a lot of us, the overconsumption is coming from a place of lack. It's coming from not believing that we are good enough the way that we are, or that we enough to start today, and that's going to massively hold you back. A lot of people are in the overconsumption, underimplementing phase so hard that they're literally doing nothing at all. Like they're not even going after their dreams. They're not even starting the business. They're literally doing fucking nothing because they're just listening to so many podcasts and YouTube videos and audiobooks and all the things. And they're like, yeah, I'm learning so much, blah, blah, blah. It's like, It's like, okay, and what are you doing about it? What are you actually doing though? Like, are you doing anything different on a daily basis? Have you integrated the tools and principles? Are you now practicing all the things that you've learned in the last 20 books that you read? Probably not. I mean, none of us are because that's unrealistic, right? So again, to come back to the original point, it's like instead of reading the 10 books and doing nothing, what if you just read one book And maybe you read it twice or 3 times, or you highlighted it, or you tried to write a little summary of what you learned from every chapter. Like you actually like participated in like active learning. That would be a way to consciously consume instead of what we're doing right now, which is unconscious consumption. We're just like roboting through our life, shoving headphones in our ears every 5 seconds. Every time we go on a walk or do the dishes or take a shower or do whatever, it's like more, more, more, more, more, more information. More inspiration, more ideas, more content, more stories, more people, more drama, more whatever. Wow. Are like, are, aren't we tired? I got to a place where I had literally anxiety listening to certain podcasts because I was so overwhelmed with just the thought of like, what am I gonna do with this information? And I have to really learn it and I have to write it all down and I have to integrate it. And I'm probably gonna wanna be able to share this with my clients or teach it someday. And how am I gonna make it my own? Then it was just like, stop. Just stop. Stop over-consuming and under-implementing. If you want to consume, be conscious about it, be intentional about it, and actually do something about it. That's going to be way more effective in your journey towards creating success, whatever that means to you, than this like autopilot, just shoving information down our throats all the time, which is what most of us are doing right now. Okay. Number 3, the third success principle is stop avoiding discomfort, rejection, and failure. Whew. People often look at failure as being like a separate entity from success. We almost look at them as complete opposites, right? It's like you could either succeed or you could fail. Success is over here and failure is over here, when in actuality they are like two essential parts of the same process, and you can't really have one without the other. And the same thing goes for love and rejection. It's like, well, I could either tell this person how I feel and they could feel the same and this could be like a love story, or I could get rejected and then feel awful and then we will never see each other again. And then I'll be heartbroken. It'll be horrible. And it's like, well, rejection is kind of part of the journey towards the love story, right? Like, if you're not open to the possibility of being rejected, then you'll never make bold enough moves to actually find true love. Do you know what I mean? So it's like instead of looking at these two things as one is the thing that I want to achieve and the other is the thing that I want to avoid at all costs, it's like, well, these are actually two parts of the same process. They are two parts of the journey that I am consciously choosing to embark on. And by going after one, I know that the other is bound to be present at some point. And I'm okay with that. That's basically what we have to decide is I'm okay with discomfort. I'm okay with pain. I'm okay with rejection. I'm okay with failure because it's worth it to me when I know that I have the success, the love, the joy, fulfillment, whatever it is on the other side. And knowing that that's like, that's the prickly forest that you kind of have to go through to get to the beautiful scenery where you see the rainbow. Like it just, just doesn't work without it. There's no other way around it. And I think that's why most of us are stuck or paused a lot of the time in our journey towards success is because we're, we're standing there and we're like, oh, I don't want to go into this prickly forest. So maybe I'll just sit here and try and find another way. Like I'll try to find the, find the way around, right? Where I don't have to face discomfort, where I don't have to face potential rejection or failure or whatever it is. And so you're just sat on the edge of that prickly forest, like trying to find another route. And the universe is like, hey, like, sorry, but this is like a one-way kind of deal. You know what I mean? Like, this is a one-way thing. Like, stop standing there looking around like an idiot as if there's another way. This is the way. You are on the path, right? This is the path of your one life and it's the only way. So just get moving, right? Alex Hormozi has a quote where he says, avoiding discomfort is a great way to stay poor. And while doing so, you get the biggest discomfort of all— not getting what you want out of life. So it's this catch-22, which I've talked about on the podcast before, of like when you try to avoid failure or the opinions of other people or rejection or discomfort or whatever it is, you ultimately get all of those things because you stood still and therefore you didn't get any of the things that you wanted anyway. So you're like, oh, I'm gonna avoid failing by tiptoeing into the prickly forest or literally avoiding it at all costs and not even, not even going in. And oh, this is such a good idea. Like I'm gonna avoid failure. And it's like, well, if your goal was to succeed or build a business or create generational wealth or do whatever, you didn't actually achieve that because you stood on the edge of the prickly forest trying to avoid failure. And so ultimately you just created the failure for yourself. So in avoiding failure, you failed. Whereas if you would've just entered the forest, maybe you would've failed, but ultimately you probably would've succeeded in the end. And so isn't that better? Failure is like this stepping stone. Rejection is a stepping stone. Discomfort is a stepping stone to where you're ultimately trying to go. And if we can just look at it as part of that path and stop trying to avoid it or get around it or find a, a better way where that doesn't exist, we would move a lot faster towards our goals and to creating success. Okay. Number 4 is that failure is inevitable, but quitting is not right. And this is so much of like what we already talked about, but I want to frame it in, in a little bit of a different way. So here's the thing. If you go into the prickly forest and you, and you actually experience one of these failures, a lot of people's reaction is then to turn around and run out and be like, I knew it. Fucking knew it. This is a bad idea. Fuck this place. There's got to be a better way. I'm just going to go back. I'm going to take a minute. I'm going to take a breather and I'm going to try and find another route. Like, I'm going to get a map or ask somebody. Like, there's got to be a better way, right? Because this is, this is not it. I don't like how that felt, right? And so the point of this success principle of understanding that failure is inevitable, but quitting is not, is to not let one failure convince you to slow down or to stop. Completely, right? When people try things and it doesn't work out on the first, second, or third try, they often just assume like, well, well, maybe this isn't for me, or maybe this is the wrong way, or maybe this is a sign that, you know, I'm on the wrong path. Raise your hand if you've ever felt like that. You've done something and it flopped, or it didn't work, or it was really hard, or you hated it, or whatever. And so you were like, okay, well, thanks for the sign, universe. I guess this is not for me. And then you just kind of peace out. This is why a lot of people, especially in like online business and coaching, they pivot every 5 seconds because they're like, I don't know my niche. And so they do, they post for like a couple of weeks with one thing or a couple of months and then they're like, oh, people aren't really liking that, or I got bored or whatever. And they just keep changing, changing, changing, changing, changing. And it's like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Don't let one failure convince you to slow down or stop or give up on the larger mission. Failing or things not going to plan is not a reason to quit. It's really not. Like, especially in the early stages of your career or business, whatever you do for a living, because again, failure is one of those building blocks to success. You cannot have one without the other. So if we use failure as an excuse to slow down, or stop completely, then we're never going to actually get to the other side. And there's so many examples. I've pulled a couple that I think are really relevant, but there's so many beautiful examples of people who have failed over and over and over again. And because they didn't allow it to stop them, because they didn't use it as an excuse to quit or that it wasn't going to work or that it wasn't for them, they created massive success for them in, for themselves in their life or career, whatever it was that their work was about. So, okay, the first example that I wanna give is a classic one, and that's J.K. Rowling, you know, the author of Harry Potter. And so the Harry Potter novel was rejected by 12 different publishing houses, not 1 or 2 or 3 or 5, 12, 12 different publishing houses before it was finally accepted, obviously, by one. And now she's one of the richest women in the world. And she has a quote kind of giving her perspective on failure, and she says, "It is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all, in which case you fail by default." Which is a— like, it just wraps everything that we've kind of just said into a beautiful bow, right? When you try to fail, You, you fail anyway because you basically don't live or you don't get any of the things that you wanted, right? And you live so cautiously, you're on the edge of that prickly forest. And so you don't, you don't get all the richness of the experience. Another example is Jamie Kern Lima, who some of you might be familiar with if you've read her book. But, uh, she was a speaker when I went to Tony, uh, the Tony Robbins event last year, and she's the founder of IT Cosmetics, the makeup brand. And she has a really incredible story about resilience, and she faced a lot of failures and rejections in her journey. And to kind of just like summarize it super quickly here for you guys, Sephora declined to sell IT Cosmetics in stores for 6 years before, of course, they ultimately stocked it on their shelves. QVC, which is, you know, the TV show where you kind of sell your— use it to sell your products, They refused to let Jamie pitch on the show for 3 years. She continuously pitched and reached out and tried and tried and tried, and they refused for 3 years before she ultimately got on the show. And what do you know what? She became the network's largest beauty brand, appearing on over 1,000 of their live shows and selling hundreds of millions of dollars. In net sales just on QVC. And so after years of all of these rejections and people telling her that no one would ever buy her product or her makeup because she wanted to advertise it on real women with real skin issues like rosacea and acne and wrinkles and things like that, she, of course, ultimately prevailed because she never slowed down and she never used it as an excuse to stop. And she ultimately sold the brand for $1.2 billion. Yes, billion with a B. $1.2 billion to L'Oréal. And in doing that, that acquisition deal, part of that was that she became their first female CEO in the brand's over 100-year history. Right. And so this is a woman who built a makeup brand from her apartment. She didn't have a lot of resources. She didn't have a lot of influence. She didn't have a lot of contacts, and she had a lot of reasons to think, I'm not good enough, or people are never gonna buy this, or this isn't gonna work, or I've failed 500 times already, so why would I keep going? She had all the reasons in the world for failure to trigger her quitting, but failure is inevitable. Quitting is not, which is why this is such a great, uh, success principle to live by. And a few other quick examples is, um, the Dyson guy, Sir James Dyson. We all know like the Dyson vacuum. He went through over 5,000 failed prototypes before he ultimately created, you know, the best-selling bagless vacuum that we all know today. And that led to a net worth of $4.5 billion. Yes, billion with a B. 5,000 prototypes though. Like, dude, I mean, it— some of us are— we gotta really check ourselves because we're going out here into the online business space. I know a lot of you guys are building things online or brands, or you want to do affiliate stuff or influencer or become a coach or whatever. And it's like, we're really going out here and we're facing one rejection or one failure or two or three or five, and we're like, oh, I don't know if I'm cut out for this. Like, I don't know if this is right for me. And we kind of just gotta saddle up a little bit and thicken our right? Let, uh, let Sir James Dyson be a, be a reminder to thicken your skin and just keep moving. And then the last example is, is Oprah. Of course, we all know Oprah. She's so famous, you don't even need to use her last name, right, for people to know who you're talking about. But Miss Oprah, Oprah Winfrey, um, yeah, I mean, she's a billionaire, she has her own TV channel and magazine, but she actually got fired from her first TV job. Job as an anchor in Baltimore. And then what do you know it, she's like, was, you know, one of the top TV hosts and had her own freaking show. Um, there's so many other examples, but the reason why so many people are staying stuck and living mediocre lives or going to jobs that they hate every day is because of this, this way that we are viewing failure. The way that we're viewing failure is skewed and And we think of it as if it's like the end of the world when actually it's just part of the process. And so I'm sure you've heard this before, but it's like you either win or you learn. That's it. You either win or you learn. That's it. Because whenever you make a mistake or get rejected or an idea doesn't work or something fails or it flops or whatever, it's like, okay, well, you learned a valuable lesson there. This doesn't work. What about it did? Or what about it might we change? Or how could we do it differently next time? Right? And so I think that's a really, really good one that hopefully is landing with a lot of you. Failure is inevitable, but quitting is not. Okay. Our fifth and final success principle is to stop blaming and complaining. It's a big one. It's a big one. And it requires, uh, a lot of self-awareness and radical responsibility for us to be able to look at our own lives and see the ways that we are blaming and complaining. Because even those of us who've done a lot of work on ourselves, we can still find new insidious ways that the complaining or the blaming is showing up in our lives or in our businesses. And so it's one of those ones that we always just kind of have to like come back to and continue to check ourselves. But if we keep waiting for life to be fair and for everyone to start the race at the same starting line, then we are gonna be waiting forever. Right? Because we know that the world is unfair. That's a fact. There's no negotiating about it. The world is already unfair. So the question just becomes, and now what? And what are we gonna do about it, right? So it's true that you might have real things that you could blame or complain about that are setbacks to you being able to pursue your dreams or be successful in the way that you want to. Like, it's true you might have dyslexia or ADHD or a really heavy past trauma or minimal resources or less contacts than the other person. But it's your choice if you are going to let those things stop you or not. That's the only thing that we actually have agency over, right? We don't get to choose if life is going to be fair. We already know that it isn't. So the only thing that we have agency over is is, what am I going to do now? Knowing that these are the cards, knowing that this is the hand I've got, what am I going to do about it? Not that these setbacks and challenges and, um, inequalities and all of the things that are very real in our world— not that they are not real— but once we acknowledge that they are, the question is just like, who do we want to be because of Right? How do I want this story to end? Do I want this to define me? Do I want this to be the reason that I stay where I am? Because if you fight for your limitations, you get to keep them. And so if you're like, oh, well, it's not going to work for me because of this, that, or the other thing, or it's more— it's harder for me, it's more challenging for me because I have this, that, and the other thing. It's like, yeah, you're probably right. And now what? And now what? Are you just gonna let that be the story? So you stay there, you stay stuck, you don't do anything, you don't make any moves, you don't even try? Or are you gonna choose to use those things, recognize that they're real, and persevere anyway? Continue on, put one foot in front of the other, know that it might take you a little bit longer, that there might be a learning curve, that you might need more support, that you might need help, that you might need donations, that you might need someone to invest in you or help you get started. Yes, those things are real and you get to choose. Are you gonna stay stuck or are you gonna move forward anyway? You might not go as fast as the next guy, but that's not the point, right? The point of life is not to do everything as fast as you can. It's not gonna be done already, right? We wanna live really long, beautiful lives. And so if you can enjoy the journey of your pursuit of success and happiness and joy and fulfillment, then you don't need to rush. And you could take all of these things into consideration of, you know, the limitations or the setbacks or the annoyances, the frustrations, and you can take them in stride and go, yeah, that's real. That's fucking real. And it sucks. And also I'm going to go ahead anyway. That's the power that you have when you take radical responsibility for your life. And instead of complaining about what's hard, you use it as fuel to push you further. A small side note that I want to add to this is that pain or challenging circumstances are not a prerequisite to success, but they are definitely a really strong motivator, right? So if you are someone who, like me, is in a very privileged position that you are well aware of— there are so many reasons why I've had tons of privilege in my life and in my own success journey, right? If you are someone like that who's like, yeah, I have a really good family and I have people that love me and support me and I've had a good life so far and I, uh, don't have anything that's really limiting me like disabilities or, uh, illnesses or chronic pain or whatever. If you're just like, wow, I'm like so fortunate and I'm so privileged, just know also that like the the pain and the struggle is not required in order for you to be successful, but it, it does end up being like a really strong motivator for the people that do have it. And so if you are someone who's like, shit, I feel like I'm, you know, the starting lines, I know they're not equal, but I feel like I'm way back there, like I'm a, I'm a mile in the dust of a lot of these other people, remember that that's the right? That it can be a really strong motivator because a lot of highly successful people have built empires as a result of the pain that they have faced in their life. Not— and I mean that in a literal way. Like, it's not that they've built empires despite the pain that they've faced. They've literally built empires because of the pain that they have faced. Like all of these quotes that are like, make your mess your message and turn your pain into your purpose. This. Those quotes exist for a reason, because people have already been doing this and having immense success from it for a really, really long time, right? They've even done studies, uh, with like rats before on this sort of like pain and pleasure thing of like, you know, humans are only motivated by two things. It's we either want to go towards pleasure or we want to go away from pain. And so they're trying to study and figure out like, well, which one of those things is more powerful? Like, are we more motivated pleasure of like, yes, I'm getting rewarded and this is success and this is joy and this is fulfillment? Or are we more motivated by, oh shit, like this, my current circumstances suck and I really want to get out of here and fuck, fuck, fuck. Like I'm in so much fear. Let me get out. And unfortunately, like, you know, as a lot of us would guess, probably from your own experiences or just from what you've seen in the world and in life in general, is that, yeah, we are, we are unfortunately more motivated by pain than we are by pleasure, right? I talk about this a lot. A lot of times desire is not enough. There has to be discomfort. And so we're like, why can't I get myself to do it? Why can't I get myself to move? Why can't I get myself up? Why can't I get myself motivated? Because you're not in enough pain yet. You're not. You don't hate the current circumstances enough to literally say, fuck it, I would rather do anything than continue to sit in this current circumstance, right? And so the studies that they've done with these rats before is the rats were kind of like in, I think it was like a, it was like a tube or something. They were in this like enclosed sort of like space where they could, they had to like run out. Okay. And so to get them to see what would motivate them to run out faster was either, you know, they're playing with like pain versus Pain reward. versus pleasure, right? And so the pleasure was like they wafted in the smell of cheese from like the front end of where they were, encouraging them to like run towards it, right? To see how fast they would run out the other side towards the cheese, running towards the pleasure, literally. And then for the pain side, what they did was they wafted in the smell of a cat, I think, from the other side, right? The opposite side, two scare them out. So to get them to run away from the pain, right? Because we're only motivated by two things: we either want to go towards pleasure or away from pain. And so they tested this with rats, and of course they ran a lot faster when there was pain involved, aka the threat of, of a predator, of a cat coming to get them. And this is, you know, similar with like the, the common NLP concept, if you're familiar with like neuro-linguistic programming, of the towards and away values. I've talked about this on a previous episode, but we have these values that we want to move towards. They're all the positive things that we, that we want, that we desire. But then we also have these values in our life of all the things that we want to escape, the things that we want to get away from, the things that we don't want to experience, right? And that's kind of what we talked about earlier about failure and success and rejection and love, right? Success and love are towards values, and failure and rejection are away values or things that we want to escape, that we want to get away from, that we want to avoid. And when I went to Tony Robbins, he actually does this thing called the Dickens Process, and it's based around this exact idea of understanding that we are more motivated by pain.. And so a lot of the ways that we try to get people to change is through this, like, pleasure, right? Like, visualize your dream life. And that is on some degree effective. It's not that it's not effective at all. It definitely works. But we also know that pain works better, which just— it sucks, right? And so the Dickens process, it takes you so deep into the pain of your limiting beliefs that you never want to entertain them ever again. Again. Like, you literally go so deep into this visual, visceral, physical experience of pain. When I was doing it, I could literally feel like my body was contracting. I was bent over. I was screaming out in pain. I could feel sharp stabbing in my stomach and near my lungs. And it was— it literally physically hurt to go through the process of what it would be like to continue to entertain and live out the limiting beliefs that were holding me back. And so you go to such deep levels of pain that you realize, I'm not going to ever do that again. I'm not going to entertain these beliefs. And it's one, one really effective way to get people to change their patterns or to change their behavior. And Tony actually tells a really funny story about how in the early days of his work, he helped someone quit smoking. And it's like so intense and hilarious. But it's fucking crazy. I'm not going to tell the whole story here, but I will try and find a link to it on YouTube or something, and I'll link it in the show notes for you guys because it's a really good one just to, again, illustrate this, this idea of, you know, us being motivated by pain and how that works. So yeah, I guess we'll, we'll wrap it up there. That's number 5. Stop blaming and complaining and choose to move forward with the dreams that you have for your life, despite the challenges or the struggles or the setbacks that you have, and understand that they can actually be really, really powerful fuel for you to go even further and to be that, like, that ignition, right, that lights the fire for you towards achieving your dreams or your personal version of success. So before we close out this episode, I just want to remind you guys that I have a free workshop coming up. Coming up on the 8th of August. It's the Lion's Gate Abundance Activation Workshop. I have done this workshop many times in the past, but we are revamping it this year and I'm adding in some changes and we're kind of like rebranding it a little bit and it's gonna be a lot of fun and I'm just excited to do it again because it's such a, yeah, it's a really, really potent day. The 8th of August is the Lion's Gate, right? So it's 8/8 and it's Leo season. So it's the Lion's Gate. It's the most powerful day to manifest. So every year during Leo season, usually from somewhere around like July 28th to August 12th, the Lion's Gate portal is open. And the peak of this portal is on 8/8, right? 8 is the infinity symbol. It's also the symbol— like, the number 8 is in numerology, it's the number for abundance. And so on this day, the star Sirius, which is 20 times stronger than our star, our sun, it's actually in alignment with Orion's Belt and and it's positioned directly over the Pyramids of Giza. And there's just all of these things that are in alignment. So when this crazy cosmic alignment takes place, the light from Sirius actually flows into the light of an already powerful Leo Sun, our sun, which creates this like influx of potent light energy on the planet. And so what this means is that we're able to release release, heal, manifest, and call in abundance much faster than normal on this day. So I love doing live free workshops on this day for anyone who wants to come because it is such a powerful and potent day. So if you want to join me, we're going to hang out on the 8th of August for our Lionsgate Abundance Activation Workshop, and we are going to tap into the powerful energy of the Lionsgate together. We are going to align with the frequency of abundance. It's going to be all about abundance, wealth, money, all the vibes. We're going to declare our manifestation. Because it's such a powerful day to manifest and collapse time. And we're going to clear our energy to receive. We're going to meditate as a collective. And the more people that come, the more that we actually amplify the power of this workshop. So I encourage you to come and try to come live if you can. And if you have any friends, sisters, or anyone who wants to join us, just invite them. It's totally free. The more people that come, the more that we get to amplify the this intense energy. I'm sure you've seen like those, um, prayer events where everybody, like hundreds or thousands of people, go to the same location and they all pray or meditate on a positive vibration at the same time, and how it really like has amazing effects because everybody's energy is just amplifying off of each other. So that's kind of the, the vibe and the energy for our Abundance Activation Workshop. I'm really, really excited about it. You can find more details about it at the link in my bio on Instagram. I will leave the link to sign up for the workshop in the show notes below. There's always a replay, but of course, if you can come live and contribute to amplifying our collective energy, that would be incredible. And I can't wait to see you there. All right guys, thanks for tuning in. I love you so much, and I will talk to you next week. Bye!
