Let me tell you why most people aren’t getting as rich as they hoped.
Because building wealth hasn’t yet become an instinct.
Let’s face it: Your instincts rule your life—every decision you make.
I’ll be direct with you…many of you probably think you know how to get rich. But a lot of people have the formula wrong.
Stop me if you’ve tried this before:
- You save a little money from your check
- You buy some investments because it’s what people do
- You cancel cable TV and start microwaving coffee in the morning
You open a savings account. You buy a few stocks. You decide to start brewing your coffee twice a week to save money.
But what ends up happening?
You’re still living paycheck-to-paycheck.
You still feel like you’re not progressing because the bills consume so much of your paycheck. And you have little left.
To make matters worse – when this happens, you blame yourself:
- “Maybe I just can’t build wealth…”
- “How are these people getting by? Are they lucky?”
- “What’s the point of saving if I’m always worrying about money…”
So many times, this causes you to lose all faith in your ability to save because you think it can’t be done or that everyone’s out to get you.
And to make matters worse, you log onto social media and read post after post from rich gurus saying:
- “I just made $25,000 this month!”
- “Buy my $897 course on building your personal brand!”
And the dagger in the heart:
- “All you need to do is try harder, and you’ll get richer. It’s simple!”
🤮
Truth: All that stuff doesn’t solve the root problem.
“SO WHAT IS THE ROOT PROBLEM, STEVIE?”
I knew you’d ask.
Building wealth isn’t just about “saving” or spending less.
It’s also not about trying harder, meditating, getting 50,000 steps a day, or taking cold showers like so many fake gurus like to claim.
The fact is…
It’s a thousand times harder to go from $0 to $100,000…
Then it is to go from $100,000 to $1,000,000.
It’s like the chicken and egg problem…
You need money. But the more money you have, the easier it is to make more of it.
What about when you’re starting from square one?
I approach building wealth differently
Most people think you must work a high-paying software job, cancel cable television, and brew your coffee at home to build wealth.
As long as they do those things, they’ll be okay.
But they’re wrong.
Don’t misunderstand; increasing your salary is wonderful. After all, it’s rarely a bad thing to earn more money.
And saving $3 a day brewing your morning cup of Joe is fine.
But the real answer is more fundamental than that.
The simplest and most effective way to build retirement-enabling wealth isn’t just earning more; it’s to steal the habits of the wealthy.
Think about it…
What if instead of cutting back on the little things you enjoy, you instead:
- Study what the most successful people do
- Discover how rich and powerful people think, then
- Start doing the exact same things in your life
And not just save a few bucks here and there, but build more wealth than you ever imagined? Maybe even enough to retire early?
Wouldn’t that be cool?
How much money stress would that eliminate from your life?
Imagine buying coffee out, choosing a nice restaurant to eat at, and picking up a couple of tickets to a sports game without worrying about the money.
Millionaire habits will get you rich
It’s not your fault if you don’t know how wealth is built.
Our educational system does a lousy job of teaching the basics.
I graduated high school without even hearing the phrase “compound interest.” I mean, come on!
But here’s what makes all this easier: Once you understand how successful people think and operate, everything becomes easier.
Whether you understand compound interest or not doesn’t matter.
Best part?
You don’t need a high-paying software job to build wealth.
