How To Build REAL Wealth by Thinking Like The Top 1%

Your brain is keeping you stuck. Not because you're lazy or untalented, but because you're thinking like everyone else, and everyone else is making bad financial decisions. I've spent hundreds of hours around billionaires, and I grew up around people with nothing. The difference [music] between them has nothing to do with luck or intelligence or even work ethic. It's how they think. And the 1% think in a way that completely flips the rules of money to their advantage. So, here are the [music] six mental principles the top 1% use to think differently about everything and how you can use them to build real sustainable wealth no matter where you're starting from. When faced with stress, [music] setbacks, or drama, the 1% asks one question that changes everything. You see, every time a deal falls apart or key person quits, pause [music] and ask yourself, will this even matter in 5 years? This might seem simple, but it is crazy how 99% of the time the answer is no. And having [music] that perspective is so important because it keeps you focused [music] on what compounds, not what distracts. Recently on a Thursday, I had just wrapped up an entire day of one-on- ons, backtoback meetings with my team members. And I get a late night text from one of my team members who says, "I need to talk to you."

But [music] instead of any of that happening, she and I just had a very calm conversation and [music] I used this framework then thinking about in five years from now will I even remember that this bad news took place? Because the reality of the situation is in 5 years from now I'm going to be really excited about what I'm building, what she's building, and what he's building. And so having these moments of stress and drama and friction, they're never worth it because you're not even going to remember that the situation happened. You're going to remember how you handled it. And if [music] you are a stressed out person, you will always respond with stress. If you are a calm, confident person who can work through problems, you are going to always remember that your life was filled [music] with fun,
