 There's this idea out there that it is selfish and greedy to be rich But I think that it's actually selfish to stay broke. Let's break it down Money the word has a lot of connotations Some positive some negative it depends who you talk to But what money is is a means of value exchange in in order to acquire a lot of money You need to learn how to exchange a lot of value for most people this means learning skills To pay the bills learning skills to help other people and most small business owners who start from the ground up and Then grow a large business do so by helping people on a large scale They've systematically figured out how to solve problems for other people and then you have the people who are totally broke and They're complaining about rich people and people that have money and most of the time these people are broke because they don't have Skills to provide value. They haven't taken the time to learn skills to provide value to other people now We all definitely do not start On a level playing ground, right? We do not start in the same place So some people are disadvantaged, but here's the thing once you are conscious enough to realize I Can improve myself and it can develop skills to provide value to other people is your responsibility to do so It is your responsibility to get wealthy number one For yourself you have to learn to take care of yourself That's the best thing you can do for society When you are starting from ground zero the best thing you can do is learn to meet your own needs So that nobody else has to take care of you the next best thing you can do is take care of your family Okay, provide for your family so nobody else has to so nobody else has to worry about them So you take care of them. They don't have to worry about it and they can live healthy productive lives So right off the bat by learning skills and to make money and by getting rich You can take care of yourself and take care of your family and take that burden off society next Once you start making real cash You employ people you're gonna give people jobs You're gonna give them purpose and meaning and you're now going to teach them skills and you're gonna pay them and compensate them for it So now how many people are you affecting by getting rich you yourself your family now your employees Then your community, okay? You're gonna create more tax revenue for your community You're gonna create more health in the economy of your city of your state of your country And then you're going to impact all of your customers So in order to get rich you have to have thousands and thousands and thousands of customers And guess what these people are going to buy from you unless you provide value to them So now we're providing value to thousands of people through our business Now we're paying more taxes than everyone else and now we have resources to take care of other people Guess what else we have? We have freedom. We have freedom to dedicate our lives to a cause to a purpose that we care about And then we also have resources So now if we want to help causes now if we want to help the needy We have a lot more to offer than just a couple hours over time. We have massive financial resources. We have power We have influence And we're creating value on a massive scale and that is what you can do By getting rich you have to confront your own limitations head-on You have to learn the skills the personal skills the professional skills to provide value to a large amount of people And you have to eat shit doing it You have to go through so much pain to do this and it's a lot easier just to stay broke But I'm gonna say it's selfish to do that because you're missing out and helping thousands and thousands and thousands of people And that's how you get rich. So next time you call a rich person selfish or greedy think twice Okay, and next time you tell yourself that you're not gonna get rich Because I'd be greedy to do so I want you to think long and hard about that. I want you to think long and hard About what it means to get rich what it takes how much value you have to provide How selfless you have to be and don't get me wrong there are personal rewards and you can do it for selfish reasons But inevitably you're gonna have to help other people to get there So go out there make money if you need to learn skills If you don't have any right now and you're gonna learn how to help local businesses generate more clients and get paid for it I put together a free training Christian Martin dot org back slash free go check that out That's gonna teach you the skills you need to help other people and it's gonna provide you a solid foundation for the rest of your life to Learn how to acquire clients and customers through marketing Go out there make that money do it in a positive beneficial way to society and everyone around you is going to thank you and Only the haters are gonna think you're selfish or greedy My name is Christian Martin put in the comments below what you thought of this Tell me what your beliefs are about money about is it selfish?
