three signs that you'll become rich one
day sign number one you have an
entrepreneurial spirit and a young age
now Mark Cuban think about it ma Cuban
sold trash back door to door when he was
12 years old 1 Buffett started selling
packets have come to his neighbor's when
he was 6 years old with myself I started
a very very young age I didn't know that
is even entrepreneurial spirit but in a
young age I was always looking for ways
to to make money to make money although
money interests me but I like the game
of making money I'll give you a perfect
example
so for Chinese as Chinese in Hong Kong
at the time was probably 9 to 10 years
old and Chinese were the Chinese New
Year and in Chinese you knew you would
get this like lucky money kind of red
you know red pocket money right from
your aunts and uncles and relatives so
as a young guy I was very popular
because you know I guess my face got a
baby phase and was like a Lego they love
me too just they spoil me and they would
kill me t is like lucky money and as a
young kid I would always collect all
these lucky money now because they my
uncle and aunt they were very very
generous I'm talking about think about
our 10 year old I would collect each
they would give me like each one Polly
like a couple hundred dollars of like US
dollars equivalent right with because
I've so many aunts and uncles and
relatives and and all of that and
in Chinese when a new year was taken a
fat choy right and most kids would say
only if I join they've given a little
rap with you know their money
but what I would do is I would memorize
like a poem a long poem so they would
say one like a nice congratulations like
lucky saying I would say like thirty of
them like that right in Chinese so like
all my uncles and ended love they like
oh my god his kids so smart he's so good
it's like wishing me good fortune they
always give me the most amount of money
so that's kind of even at a young age I
was learning to close that hey you know
what when I say more things I make more
money when I say one word being lazy
about it I make less money I'm like
screw that
I guess all my cousins and when
they say like one word they get the coin
I get the paper right I'm like duh every
year you say this say same short
you got a coin but I get like lots of
money you still don't learn the lesson
anyway so I would make like two three
four five thousand dollars US dollars at
ten years old so that's why I never get
worried about like buying toys and and I
like buying candy and and like like junk
food good chips and all that's a young
kid and I was always very generous so I
would like treat all my friends and in
my same classmates I would always go to
their little grocery store and we find
like those coca-cola right all the glass
one I would like buy a box of them and
the whole class would get them cuz to me
that's like at a time I don't know
twenty thirty dollars I have enough
money could buy that all the time
doesn't matter
but anyways talk about entrepreneurial
so Chinese you know they love to gamble
right so what I would do it's I wouldn't
invite all my cousins and I would invite
them to my home and I will open a little
casino all right
like at age of eleven you got understand
so we have really played these the dice
and all these different things but I
would only play if I'm the house I will
not play if I'm not the house because at
a young age I learned when I'm not the
house I lose money
but if I'm the house even though that I
lose money but on average I would I
would come out ahead I would make money
like I was just that entrepreneur
and I've enjoyed it fun and how to make
it better and I know the longer they
stay in my house
the chances of me winning as a house is
higher so I would have candy there I
have video games there I am like I they
would stay like all night and we would
gamble for a few days and usually every
year they lose all the money to me right
so he got a mansion from my small five
thousand or seed money by the time the
Chinese New Year's done I have like ten
thousand dollar u.s. right that's a ten
year old like I am like I was a rich kid
you think about it right and then what I
would do is for like because all my
cousin they offer you said because they
are lost all the money and all that
right so what I would do is I would use
all their money for the birthday on I'll
buy them do the biggest toy ever like
that robot that they want or that video
game that they want I would buy the best
stuff for them I would treat them for
McDonald and all of that so you got
understand so I do turn it into business
I mean it went up with make all the
money and I will treat them like that
bit likes very very special so I was
there like the most lovable cousin that
they have right so always also a
entrepreneur oh so if you are like that
as well and I get a young age you're
thinking about how can I make money how
could i how can I make money with this
and you enjoy that and you you or maybe
you sell you know you you are in Boy
Scout or Girl Girl Scout Girl cookies
right and you saw the toilet or whatever
it is that you do your entrepreneurial
that's the very first sign you know you
become rich one day second is you have a
sense of urgency that you are impatient
now if you want you listen to my podcast
I have a postcard podcast called
shoulders of Titans one interview
millionaires and billionaires on my
podcast
out of all the people that are
interviewed someone to show some in
person that are not on a recorder I
could tell you the high achievers that I
know the millionaires the building is
that I know one thing that they have in
common that I notice they are impatient
patience is not a virtue I believe
patience is a character flaw the high
achievers they are impatient they want
to get things done today they don't want
to wait till tomorrow I noticed they
always have this sense of urgency that
they know that somehow it may be the way
that they view life their life is short
we don't have time you got to make it
happen
you cannot procrastinate you cannot wait
five years for this to happen you got to
make it happen there's no excuse if if
there's no way with finally this is a
wall I'll go around and I'll go under
the brakes to it I'll go over it
whatever it takes that's the kind of
attitude that they have I notice they
have they naturally have this sense of
urgency I naturally have this sense of
urgency I had this sense of urgency when
I had no money I have the same sense of
urgency when I have money so that's the
second sign so if you are impatient if
you or do have that sense of urgency you
have that drive you have that desire you
you have the fire within you you want to
get stuff done and you hate it when
people operate at a slower level they
don't operate the same standard that's a
good sign that you'll become rich one
day the third sign the third sign that
you need is rich people they are
goal-oriented
they are goal-oriented that they focus
they very focused they know what they
want clarity is power they know exactly
what they want you ask them about their
plan they know they know what they want
so now I don't have time to go into the
whole goal setting process if you want
to watch that I've actually done an
episode for Boston Bentley click on the
I button I talked about how do you
actually set goals and how do you
accomplish them
so they go orient it you see people
never nobody sets out and write a plan
to say they want to be stupid they want
to be broke they want to be depressed
they want to be lazy
nobody could write a plan for that
that's what happens when you don't have
a plan by default if you are not getting
rich by default you're making somebody
else's rich if you don't have a plan for
yourself
chances are your plan of somebody else
you got to think about that right so
rich people they are absolutely
goal-oriented
they're very if not only do I have
clarity about the vision very often they
can communicate their vision with the
people around them with the team with
their vendors with their partners with
the lenders they could communicate that
that's what I also notice so that's a
third sign that I notice that people who
are successful who are rich they have
that do you have that are you go
oriented are you clear about what you
want are you absolutely could have
critical clear crystal clear about what
you want right so I'll say there's so
with the three signs let me think if
there are four signs if there's one want
to think about bonus one I think of this
a bonus sign that I can see that is sign
number four is rich people that they are
constantly constantly improving
themselves
constantly they are reading they're
learning the educating themselves
because myself I mean I've read over
2,000 books just like this month
I'm flying to multiple like three events
not to speak to learn as successful as I
am I'm flying to three different events
in this month to go to learn if that's
what I'm doing what the hell should you
be doing right so you just think about
that the more you focus on your
education the more focus on proving
yourself because we know at this stage
of our career that I operate a payor to
leave in the principle of this like edge
then I'm Disick cessful if I just learn
a few things that would make me more
effective they will make me a little bit
smarter then what gives me a little edge
that little little improvement
translates into a lot so example if
you're making a million dollars a year
that 10% improvement just adds a hundred
thousand dollars to your bottom line if
you're making ten million dollars a year
that 10 percent improvement just means
it's a million dollar in improvement and
if you did 1 million provement if you
can take that out ten years that's ten
million dollars with an improvement you
just think about it so I think that's
sign them before that you are constantly
you like to learn you like to watch
videos you listen to podcasts when
you're driving your lives you're not
listening to those music and like
that you're listening to educational
informative empowering podcasts when
you're working out you're listening
you're learning you're watching YouTube
video like this when in your downtime
you're reading books you're not afraid
of going to seminars that's a very very
important sign because I was exactly
where you were today
right I was exactly what you are today I
was reading the books I still read the
books I was attending the seminars I was
learning from everybody I could I was
learning for my mentors I was listening
to you you were lucky because you had
all these like podcasts right now on
your phone at a time was listening to
those cassette tapes right I got
like thousand these cassette tapes at
home you know
some of you guys would not know what I'm
talking about what Cosette like before
the CD the cassette like those
damn right
that was listening to that so that's
what I mean don't take it for granted
constant improve yourself if you have
that sign to you in constantly improving
yourself that's a sign that you become
rich one day as well now if you have
these four signs does that mean
guarantee you be rich not necessary but
chances are if you have these four signs
you're very different from the people
around you right you're very different
from your friends you're very different
from the people that you know that it's
you're not quite like them you'll need a
bit of weird
you're a little bit different that's a
good sign by the way so let me know
