Anthony can we give a round of applause round of applause for anthony my friend jack donovan i saw him on instagram he's talking about the 21 convention in poland i sent him a dm i said jack what's this thing he goes it's a secret convention it's in a secret location we can't show the guy's faces so i said hey it's good i gotta go so here we are now i had to figure out what i was going to speak to you guys about today because as anthony said i am a money guy so i've i've made money in real estate self-made millionaire before the age of 30 and i came up with this book called hard times create strong men anybody in here ready yet okay great so hard times create strong men came with that book uh 2017 it made a big splash sold out of it twice actually so we're on to the third run and i was watching some of your presentations this weekend i gotta say i watched some of the inner the ones on the internet some of the most popular ones and you guys like talking about picking up chicks so it seems to me that's the number one thing is picking up chicks picking up chicks so for you guys today my speech today is about reaching your potential as a man and i'd really appreciate you took a lot of notes the notes are for you not for me when you write something down you're going to retain 70 percent of what you write down when you just listen though you're only going to retain 10 percent so go ahead and take lots of notes today now my speech today guys is not the following number one it's not about the 40 day water fast i did in the jungle last year 40 days no food just water for 40 days i won't be talking about that but if you want to talk about it we can talk about it later number two it's not going to be about beating cancer last year in the jungle my doctor told me i'd be dead in two weeks she said if you go on chemotherapy right now you're going to have a two percent chance of living in the next five years i said sorry went to the jungle fasted came back cancer was gone we won't be talking about that although it's a cool story we're not going to be talking about how i had eight girlfriends at one time and was a big womanizer i know some of you guys probably want to talk about picking up girls we can talk about that but we won't be talking about that today it's not going to be about becoming a self-made millionaire before 30 although some of you guys want to make money we'll talk about money a little bit today i noticed that a lot of speakers this weekend talked about how having money is important as a man but not a lot talked about how to actually make money so we'll talk about money a little bit and the last one this speech is not about slaying pussy and becoming a pussy slayer sorry gents but what we will talk about is reaching your potential as a man now here's the key if you reach your potential as a man if you build yourself if you invest in yourself if you bet on yourself and grow yourself more than anyone else you can have all the above you can have the health you can have the wealth you can have the happiness you can have the eight girlfriends if you want that you can have the good relationship but the key is if you don't invest in you who else will this life guys this life that you're in right now is a game and he who invests in himself most wins i got to applaud you for being here this weekend because there's other guys at home eating cheerios and watching cartoons on sunday morning there's other guys who are up late partying all night they didn't come in this morning you guys are here investing in yourselves so you're doing the right thing now my book the title is hard times create strong men strong men create good times good times create weak men and weak men create hard times who's heard that little poem before okay good that's by a friend of mine g michael hopp i had g michael on my podcast some weeks ago he's a writer i think he's written a ton of books and that little cycle that little truism is the cycles of history and that cycle takes about 80 years to go around now i'm a real estate guy and i made my first million dollars in real estate before the age of 30 i started out with 1200 of cash and i was a guitar teacher when i was 22 years old i went to school i went to school for first it was a musician i wanted to be a rock star when i was 16 i said mom dad i want to be a rock star i want to be a rock star and my mom said that's a horrible idea my dad said that's a horrible idea but we support you go to music school and then maybe if you go to music school you can become a rock star that's bad logic i ended up going to music school i went to the jazz program learned to play the double bass electric bass became a guitar teacher i took a job as a guitar teacher i didn't even know how to play guitar but i took one lesson right before the kids were coming in so i teach them what i learned the last week that's how to be a guitar teacher just stay one lesson ahead you'll be fine so i was a guitar teacher making ten thousand dollars a year in my mom's living room parents are divorced i was living at my mom's house and i had this burning desire to be rich and famous i wanted to be rich i wanted to be famous of course if you want to be a rock star there's some rich and rich and famous that you want there and so i went to the music school i was in the jazz program and after six months i dropped out of that and then i went next to the business school i said well if i can't be a musician maybe i'll go and i'll learn how to issue stock on the stock market and become like the wolf of wall street this is way before the wolf of wall street came out but i wanted to issue stock sell stock they didn't have that course so i dropped out of the business school then i went to computer science i got good grades there but i dropped out of that and finally i went to the registrar of the university i said how do i get out of here without shaming my parents she said if you take two poetry classes you get an english degree so i went took two poetry classes got an english degree and after school it was 2008 i was making eleven dollars an hour answering the phone selling luxury hotel rooms to rich people in a call center in winnipeg and i was done at three four five in the morning so the company would pay for a cab ride home and i realized my life at age 22 had become a complete and utter failure i wanted to be a rock star and age 22 i'm working in this motherfucking call center making eleven dollars an hour and there was this big dissonance in my mind between where i wanted to be and where i was so i lay on the couch for three months had post-grad depression and then finally i read this little book called rich dad port ad anybody read rich dad port ad i read rich dad port ad and it said anybody can become rich if they build a business and invest in real estate i said hey that sounds good to me i'd like some of that passive income anybody in here like passive income okay good we'll talk about that a little bit today i thought passive income that sounds good when i go to the mailbox i got all these checks from these guitar students but i have to stay in this motherfucking living room and teach these kids every week and what's interesting is the guys who signed up for guitar they just really wanted to pick up girls so we're teaching guys how to play guitar to get girls house that was the the business so i got these checks and i'm like i'd like to get these checks passively without having to sit in this living room so i ended up selling all my music gear i went and took a real estate seminar it was a donald trump two-day weekend real estate seminar spent all my money on it and whatever you think about trump you might like him you might hate him it was a pretty good seminar actually and i kept going down that path i was at age 22 1200 down on my very first two-bed one-bath house by 28 and a half became a self-made millionaire so we will talk about money a little bit this speech but the reason why i wrote a mens book is this i've written four business books now i have won rich dad hall of fame 2014 written several money books and business books in fact i'm going to give everybody this weekend a copy of my first book money people deal we sold over 20 000 copies everybody this weekend if you come to the booth i'm going to give you one of these and this is how to partner how to create real estate deals how to create wealth because here's the thing guys write this down all wealth is created you will not save your way to wealth it's impossible to save your way to wealth especially nowadays i don't know if you read the news the fed the federal reserve is printing a hundred billion dollars a day right now so if you're saving money fuck you you're done you cannot save money anymore guys it's impossible to save so you must create value create more create more create more maybe you want to write a book you've got to create value maybe you want to be in real estate create real estate deals you have to create now because the fed is going to print you into oblivion so i had this career in real estate investing became very good at flipping houses built a multi-million dollar portfolio for myself nice passive income and then what happened was i went to the jungle and i fasted for 18 days one year i had some health issues my colon was bleeding i had ulcerative colitis so i wanted to cure that i went to the jungle fasted for 18 days so no food for 18 days i came out of the jungle and these young little boys that were working for me 20 years old 21 22 years old ganged up on me these little employees of mine so i came out of the jungle i'm standing around the boardroom talking to my staff i had a staff of eight at the time and the young boys said i don't like you you're mean this isn't my dream this isn't what i want to do with my life i'd rather go traveling all this bullshit and i thought i was coaching a 15 year old girl's volleyball team because that's what it sounded like and i said what the fuck are these young men saying where did these guys get this stuff so i sat the men down i had a three hour lecture with them of how to be a man never thought i'd be having a how to be a man talk with my staff three hour lecture another day went by we did another three hour lecture the next day the boys need another tune up and what i realized after six hours of lecturing these young 20 year old guys on how to be men is that the boys never had fathers that's something to write down guys we're living in a fatherless society right now the boys never had fathers and their fathers never had fathers now it doesn't matter how good your mummy is your mummy can never teach you how to be a man your feminine school teacher who's a woman who teaches you how to sing songs and play the xylophone at music class is not going to teach you how to be a fucking man it's never ever happening so i sat down and started to write because i didn't want to give the speech again i never wanted to give the how to be a man talk ever again i said i'm going to write this down into a book i went to my con to 11 days later hard times create strong men was written now this is a 624 page book i think it weighs 800 or 900 grams that's about two pounds for you americans that don't know what grams are i'm canadian by the way it's a two pound book 151 thousand words is what is a man in money sex religion politics those four powerful subjects gents yes or yes yes i think the young men might need to know that now it also has lots of violence it also has killing so it's rated r it's not for pussies it says right on the front if you're easily offended burn this book don't read it we've had zero book burnings by the way so zero have been burned 98 five store reviews on amazon so i wrote this book because the young men didn't have fathers and what this talk is the hard times create strong men talk is this is the talk that a father would have with his son in the garage away from the women away from his daughter and away from his wife now gentlemen is that going to be a different talk than the politically correct i love you mommy and i love you daughter talk yes or yes it's going to be a little different it's going to have some fucking swears in it it's going to have some naked girls it's going to have all the good stuff that you guys go to hollywood and you pay 15 bucks to see a movie on the weekend so i made sure i had an illustrator draw a whole bunch of naked girls and cool shit in the book so that when you're going to spend 15 bucks at the movies to go see some titties you can come see it in hard times create strong men instead we're competing with hollywood jack donovan said a brilliant thing on the weekend or in his talk he said we are competing with million dollar budgets for attention so we have to make our content good we have to make our books good we have to make our stories good so people want to read it now i'm going to say it again this is the cycle of history in case you didn't get the first time it's an 80 year cycle hard times create strong men strong men create good times good times create weak men weak men create hard times now if you haven't got the book yet page 401 i've got this cycle of history i'll break it down for you here every 80 years this is something to write down every 80 years humanity forgets everything it knows because what happens is the people who live through world war two my grandmother who's 99 years old bless her heart now is blind and deaf live through world war two and all the horrors of it is now dying she doesn't want to live anymore she'll be gone soon bless her heart great lady but the people who live through the communist russia the 20 million people killed in communist russia they're not around anymore the people who fought on d-day they're not around anymore the guys who had to bust into the death camps and bail out all those skeleton people that were emaciated from not eating they're not around anymore and what happens in our society is every 80 years we forget everything so we repeat history history because we forgot we forgot how bad communism was we forgot how bad world war two was we forgot how bad it really was because hard times create strong men strong men create good times good times create weak men weak men create hard times now for those of you can't see 1940 was the last time we had hard times create strong men if you want to know where you're at in history just take your current year and subtract 80 years it's 2019 subtract 80 from that what year is that 1939 if history repeats itself are we going to see some bad shit pretty soon yes or yes why because we forgot history is the same story over and over again with different costumes that's something to write down too gents history is the same story over and over again with different costumes so 1940 every every part of the poem is 20 years so the first generation hard times create strong men this is the world war two generation this is the greatest generation when they were 10 years old they were in the great depression when they were 20 they were in a war after the war the men came home one arm one leg built a house with his bare hands married his high school sweetheart sired four children worked at a factory for 40 years paid for everything did he complain that he didn't like his work no and nobody fucking asked him if he was happy he was killing Nazis on the beach with a bayonet his friend was lit on fire the boat beside him got strafed by a stuka and sunk when he was 10 he was in the great depression he was hungry do you think he whined like a little bitch i'm hungry he went through the fucking great depression you guys we got all these soy boys and the millennials i'm a millennial now i beat on millennials but we complain oh this isn't that fun it's not it's not engaging enough it's not something i want it's not my dream fuck you nobody cares about your dreams guys in history nobody asked the men if they were happy zero times they asked the men i like the navy seal we had up here before they're walking arms in the in the ocean in the freezing cold water nobody asked the navy seals if they were happy doing that and if you're cold in the water come to winnipeg where i live it's pretty fucking cold minus 40 you pull the handle of your car it rips off we don't have homeless people because they just die 1940 hard times create strong men 20 years later we're in the boom time 1960 america was the superpower of the world key is was write that down america was the superpower in 1960 that was the golden age i'm gonna talk more about why it was the golden age it was literally gold 1960 is the madman era that's where everybody had purchasing power everybody had money a man could go get a job at a factory not be so smart marry a woman have a house and a cottage and a car or two cars they could have a white picket fence they could have a dog they could have two three four children guys are those days gone yeah the american dream sadly is dead and i'll tell you why it's because the fucking federal reserve is printing a hundred billion dollars a day no matter how hard you work you can't beat that so we're gonna talk about some ways that you can 1960 so strong men create good times we go to 1980 this is the peak good times create weak men this is where wall street comes out starts doing bullshit with our money we're off the gold standard things start declining 2000 weak men create hard times you got bullshit like george bush just having wars for no reason you got guys like barack obama being president in that cycle and look where it takes us 2020 hard times create strong men so guys are we going to have some problems pretty soon if 80 years is a cycle of history is it going to get bad soon it's going to get bad here's the thing there's an 80 year cycle of war so if it's every 80 years what are we gonna have a war now really war happens every 20 years there's a big war but the big war is every 80 years so four cycles is the big war now 80 years before world war two what war was that american civil war so we've had a civil war in america guys could there be another one soon the way the politics is going in this country the left is getting violent and the right is probably going to get violent too it could happen there's another cycle i want you to know about i put in the book 250 years is the lifespan of democracy so write that down 250 years is the lifespan of democracy and we have an 80 year cycle of war which is ending in 2020 and we have a 250 year lifespan of democracy america was born in 1776 so if you add 250 to 1776 you get 2026 now what happens in history Aristotle said this he says that masculine republics give way to feminine democracies and feminine democracies give way to tyranny America's a republic yes or yes is a giving way to feminine democracy right now so what's going to happen next tyranny so some of you guys might not like president trump he might be emperor trump and you laugh but there's a couple ways to do that one is martial law if it's a war you don't change the president that's one way another way is he could elect don jr and then become the prime minister like vladimir putin did putin as the president of russia was supposed to step down but he's still there julius caesar in rom do you remember rom he became emperor by doing that guys could this happen yes or yes okay i'm just giving you numbers from history this is history now about you being a man there's a story that's very important it's called jack in the beanstalk whose mommy read that to them when they were younger okay jack in the beanstalk so jack is a young man and he's entrusted to his mother he lives alone with his mother soy boy jack millennial living at home with his mom and his mom single mom is poor our single mom's poor today still guys yeah don't date single moms you know laughing at my joke that's that's a serious thing so jack's at home with his single mother and he's got his mom's last skinny cow and he's supposed to take this cow to market and trade that cow in for something important so she says jack you're the man of the house you're gonna now take this cow and trade it in for something he takes the cow to market and he trades it in for some magic beans he comes home and he shows his mother what he bought he says look mom i got these three magic beans and she says jack you're such an idiot takes the beans throws them out the window you go to bed with no supper next morning jack gets up outside the window there's a magical beanstalk so jack gets out the window starts climbing up this beanstalk and up the beanstalk is a castle and inside the castle there's a giant and the giant is huge he's booming he says fee-fi-fo-fum i smell the blood of an english man be he live or be he dead i'll grind his bones to make my bread and in this castle jack finds three things that make him a man he finds the singing harp and he steals it from the giant he finds the golden goose that lays golden eggs and he steals it from the giant and he finds a princess locked up in the castle and he steals it from the giant the giant finds out about this chases jack down jack runs down the beanstalk chops down that beanstalk the beanstalk falls down the giant falls breaks his neck and jack has become a man he is now jack the giant slayer now you guys might be wondering why the fuck is this guy telling me a story that my mommy told me when i was seven years old or five years old here's what it means for you what makes jack a man three things number one the singing harp what does that represent that's a man's calling in life write that down it's his calling in life his vocation it's what he is meant to do in this life now independent from his vocation is the second thing on the list the golden goose the golden goose represents his ability to make money the goose that lays the golden eggs now notice this guy's the vocation his calling his passion is different than his golden goose so notice how this old story is in saying follow your dreams baby you'll be a rock star no this story is telling you get a fucking job dude and in your off time you can do your passion so there's your passion your vocation which is separate from your golden goose and because jack now has a golden goose in a vocation he now has his woman his princess now some of you guys complain about woman women they're cruel they're expensive i had a friend who asked me once he said stefan have you ever paid for sex i said well majeed we always pay for sex with time money effort energy sex isn't free do we agree gents yeah it's difficult to obtain sex in fact you have to earn sex as a man we're gonna talk more about women next this speech today guys is all about money and all about women the books about money sex religion politics but i watched what you guys like you guys just want to talk about sex the whole time so i'm giving you some money because you're going to need money to get the sex but i know what you guys like i get it i like it too okay what makes jack a man now there's two more things here the moment of becoming the man for jack is when he takes responsibility for his life and he chops that beanstalk down slaying the giant so he becomes jack the giant slayer now guys the giant in your life that's your problems man that's your demons that's that insurmountable hurdle i think the giant is actually jack's father kind of like star wars is darth vader versus luke skywalker because every man has to kill his father and marry his mother right that down that's called the edepist complex we're all trying to kill our father marry our mother subconsciously so jack kills his father marries his mother and the moment he takes responsibility for his life is the moment he becomes a man now here's the trick question guys are there guys out there are there motherfuckers out there who are 60 years old and still haven't taken responsibility for the life yeah my father's one of them so i had the weak man as a father my mother divorced him he wasn't making enough money guess what that's a real thing guys if he don't make enough money what's your woman gonna do she's gonna say fuck you you're the man get the money now they talk about equality and feminism and women's rights and all this stuff guys do women really want to be equal with you no women are hypergamous write that down they're hypergamous they want someone better than them do they want to actually split the bill with you no they want you to fucking pay they want to know how hot they are they want to be protected they want to feel feminine so you have to be the man now my father is 60 years old still hasn't taken responsibility for his life are there guys out there who are 11 years old their father's dead and they got to be responsible right now so as a being a man about age or is it about responsibility it's responsibility so the moment you own everything in your life and you own even things that aren't even yours that's when you become a man and the size of man you are is in direct proportion to the amount of responsibility you take i'm here talking to you guys today this has nothing to do with my business in real estate i just feel a need to talk to the men because we are really fucked up five years ago i would have never imagined writing a men's book 10 years ago i wouldn't even imagine that there would be something like this or we would need this but guys is it really fucking bad out there for men right now it's really bad and you know a conference like this and all men's conference shouldn't exist because we should have proper fathers and we should have proper uncles and a local group of men that mentor us i have a coaching and mentoring company that shouldn't exist but the men have been weakened in society the men's groups have been disbanded they're even putting girls in the boy scouts now so girls have girl scouts and boy scouts now and the men have no scouts what the fuck so it's harder than ever to be a man guys harder than ever now the number one lesson in the book first lesson in the book is a man's purpose is his work your masculine purpose is your work whereas a woman's feminine purpose is her family nobody respects a stay-at-home dad are there any stay-at-home dads here if there were they wouldn't put their hands up okay a masculine purpose for a man is his work and here's the thing about your work guys you might love your work you might hate your work 70% of people hate their work but it's manly to work and maybe you're a guy who just sweeps floors you better be the best damn floor sweeper and maybe you're the guy who gets to stuff boxes dildos into boxes at the dildo factory but you better be the best dildo stuffer or maybe you're the guy who dips the dildo in the dye so it's got a nice pink penis head and you screw that on you better be great at that job because if you're great at that you're going to get promoted to the next job at the factory and eventually you'll get promoted to something you actually enjoy so a man's purpose is his work above all things and it's your duty to become as rich and powerful as possible some of you guys say oh i'm not interested real estate i don't need more money it's okay now here's the problem gents women demand the potential of a man a good woman a good woman will demand your potential maybe you're making a hundred grand a year when you start jerking off in the basement to teen porn and playing video games your woman's gonna yell at you because she wants your potential she wants you to make 200 grand a year she wants to become better she wants to become fitter that's what a woman when a woman's nagging you that means she loves you you might hate the nagging or maybe she withholds sex from you you might hate that but she's demanding your what your potential and if you start wasting your potential as a man that pisses women off and if you piss her off enough what's she gonna do she's gonna go fuck some other man and now you're a cuck damn it got quiet in here that's serious because women are looking for the alpha tribal leader they're looking for the king and if you don't represent the king or at least a man who is in the pursuit of his potential you're disqualified from women so there's a big carrot and there's a big stick there the big carrot is you get the woman you get better women in fact the better you are in your potential you're going to get hotter women harder to get women more women i used to not be able to get a date when i was 22 23 and now i have a problem where women are just pulling in in fact i'm wearing this suit from one of my instagram fans she picked me up in la she said i want to take you out she bought me this suit that's some next level shit guys when she's buying you a velvet suit i know i know bro i didn't know that was a level so it's your duty to become as rich and powerful as possible now here's the thing guys your potential is 16 times what you currently make write that down 16 times whatever you make in your life 16 times is your potential because the average man does about 30 minutes of real work a day and the other seven and a half hours he fucks around mostly and i know that because i'm a performance coach i'm a real estate coach i'm a business coach you probably do about half an hour of real productive work the rest of that you're fucking around i wrote hard times create strong men in 11 days some guys go wow how would you do that i was productive for 11 days now here's the thing some of you guys are not that smart some of you guys are not that pretty or handsome some of you your potential will only be to run a gas station and you'll be damn good at the gas station that's your potential other guys are going to have potential to be a billionaire other guys are going to potentially be a great artist a great writer whatever it is it's you versus you that's where your potential is at it's not you versus other men every man in here has a different journey every man has a different vocation every man has a different battle to fight adventure to go on and beauty to win it's different for every man it's you versus you that's one thing i love about the navy seals i've had several navy seals on my podcast and in the hell week they run the men until they break psychologically and then they keep running them and they break again and they break them again and they break them again and they break them again and they want the 50 guys who can break the most so if you can do 2000 push-ups they want 3000 if you can do a thousand chin-ups they want 2000 chin-ups they just want the guys who can break the most and that's your job guys you got to be living just outside your edge a bit to the point where you're breaking you don't want to live where you're breaking but just be a little bit outside your edge you're always pushing your potential i put up some canadian numbers here because the american numbers are too high and too crazy i don't want to freak you guys out but this is something that the average man i think should be able to hit top 1 percent income earners this is like normal people numbers this isn't rock star superstar numbers i put up the american numbers last night top 10th of a percent 2.7 million dollars take-home pay that's some rock star shit there but for the top 1 percent guys 250 grand is a top 1 percent income in canada that's a country with 35 million people top 1 percent's 250k top 4 percent is about 100 grand top 5 percent is 80 grand now here's the thing guys the men out there who have families and wives and women out there are really seeking the top 3 percent of men write that down women are seeking the top 3 percent because the top 3 percent of men can afford a family and i tell this to my sales guys who live and work in my office i bought a mansion the young sales guys rent rooms for me in the mansion it's the premier of manitoba's house for those you don't know what the premiere is that's like the governor so i got the governor's house and i rent the rooms the young boys and i say if you guys aren't making 100 grand you can't afford a girlfriend and you can move out when you're married when you're married move out stay away from the whoring stay away from the drinking stay away from the drugs get on your purpose get good at your purpose so you need to be in one of these categories top 5 percent top 4 percent top 1 percent how much how many of us in here want to be top 1 percent okay now here's the key if you want to be top 1 percent i had a great guy in my podcast court you leave out in vancouver he runs grant card on canada you can get to the top 4 percent by training and discipline alone write that down training and discipline will get you to the top 4 percent it'll get you 100 grand but the transition from the 100 grand to the 250 grand is a key thing that's where you have to get your whole life together so that's usually where a guy gets married or he gets a girlfriend he stops whoring he stops drinking he stops gambling his home life is together his meals are made his bed is made that's when he goes from 100 to 250 so it's interesting because women when you add a woman to a man's life and she's demanding his purpose and you're living on purpose that's where you're going to go up to that 250 and even think about this a stay-at-home mom or a stay-at-home wife if she can get you from 100 to 250 grand what's she worth she's worth a buck 50 so why would you send her to work to be a fucking secretary for 30 yeah round of applause for that think about that right and think about this you get tax splitting advantages and a stay-at-home mom is worth 80 grand so if your wife isn't making at least 80 or 100 grand tell her to stay the fuck home and you can go to work and start hitting these real numbers and guys 250 grand to even live on that nowadays fuck man I make way more than this and I'm like how the fuck do people live I was in LA for a month I was in Hollywood dude there was a 45 dollar pineapple at the store fuck I don't know who's eating that pineapple but not me now there's three things you need here guys to get wealth is from my friend Dan walk I want you to draw this triangle down number one thing you need is a high income skill I teach house flipping I teach sales I teach negotiation those are all high income skills a high income skill is something that can make you 100 grand or more might be copywriting might be marketing skills I don't know whatever your high income skill is some of you guys are engineers or computer science guys whatever high income skill is number one once you have your high income skill you got to learn to invest in high-yield investments this is where my company black card we train real estate investors so if you're somebody who wants to be a real estate investor by this is me without the beard now I have the beard went to the jungle if you're somebody who wants to be a real estate investor have passive income you want the high-yield investments or you want to flip houses this is a place to go training with us is not cheap the real coaching starts at 19000 goes to 73000 but if you spend 19 and make 60 is it a good deal of course now here's the thing guys it's not for bitches if you're a bitch don't apply if you're somebody who follows through and you have some integrity and you believe in yourself then great it's for you if it's if you're somebody who doesn't follow through and you're worried it's a scam then stay home because you're the scam you see what I did there seriously guys that's an important thing if you think something's a scam that's a mirror looking into yourself you're the scam because you're the guy with no integrity who doesn't follow through damn dude third part is you want to build a scalable business so once you have your high income skill and your high-yield investments together then you build a scalable business you might never get there scalable business is where you become RFR anybody know what RFR stands for it's an investing term really fucking rich write that down if you want to be RFR really fucking rich you build a scalable business but don't do that first because if it doesn't work you're going to be broke now I want to talk to you guys a little bit about the only real money in history I brought with me a gold coin now who in here has never felt gold before everybody in here is fucking holding gold like a pirate like come on who hasn't felt gold before you sir come up come up run we don't have a lot of time come on come up here so in my pocket here I've got real money this is gold stand up here come up this is gold and this is fiat currency fiat means fake this is a canadian dollar we have coins in Canada we don't have the fake one dollar bills so when you go to the strip club you got to put 20s in instead of ones I know you guys are putting the ones in here in Florida okay put your hands out man okay what do you want to feel real money or fake money I'll do the fake first okay this is fake fucking money feel the fake money okay you ready for the real money yeah fuck he says okay go sit down thank you give a round of applause now here's the thing guys it takes 1800 of these canadian dollars to get one of these gold ounces the canadian dollar is 70 cents on the us dollar by the way so it takes 1800 of these now the government prints on this it's going to take 50 of these 50 of these to get one of these is the government lying to you can we get a big yes the government is fucking lying to you it takes 1800 not 50 because we're off the gold standard that's a big problem nowadays big problem for you because back in the ancient Rome gold never changes value by the way write that down gold never changes value it never goes up when you see the price of gold go up what that means is your money became weaker so in ancient Rome you can get a fine toga a haircut and a pair of sandals for a piece of gold in today's world you can get a finely tailored suit a haircut and a pair of shoes for an ounce of gold so gold never changes but here's what changes look at this 1968 gold write these numbers down gold was thirty one thirty nine dollars and 31 cents it took you at minimum wage of a dollar 25 to make a piece of gold 31 hours to get a piece of gold at mcdonald's being the dumbest guy ever flipping burgers 31 hours today federal minimum wage in the united states by the way it hasn't gone up in the last couple years seven dollars 25 cents nobody can live on that it takes you 174 hours to get the same gold it used to take 30 hours in the 60s now it takes 174 hours guys can you work and make it these days can we say no no so you have to start owning some real estate you've got to get smart you've got to become entrepreneurs the new opportunities in the world e-commerce apps content building a brand the new opportunities entrepreneurship are better than ever write that down the internet has made it better than ever for new opportunities and it's become worse than ever for traditional opportunities if you want want to work in a factory like your grandfather impossible but if you want to open an e-commerce store or a brand or you want to write a book or you want to travel the world and be an influencer or whatever that stuff is better than ever because we're in a global world now the rest of the world hasn't figured that out yet now here's the scary thing guys this is about on page 300 or so in my book in 1968 in today's purchasing power an average man making minimum wage made a hundred and three thousand dollars us a year that's how much stuff he could buy when you see trump with the make america great again hat is that fucking great minimum wage is a hundred and three thousand fuck yeah i'll quit my job right now go work in mcdonald's no stress right no stress you're just the burger flipper you're not even the manager okay today same burger flipper i went to mcdonald's last night 13 thousand dollars you said 90 cut in pay write that down 90 percent if your employer took 90 percent of your pay what would happen you would get your gun and you would shoot the place up now guys look i'm canadian i love america i'm all about america why do they keep wanting to take the guns it's because this shit is going on the government has stolen 90 percent of your purchasing power and this is going to get better or worse for your kids what do you think it's gonna get worse how much worse it's gonna get all the way worse how many of us feel this when we go to the grocery store less groceries same amount of money i used to work for free to lay we put chips on shelves less chips more money you open the bag it's all air who notices that yeah i know this will get worse until this happens write this down until the average man can't buy bread the inflation will get worse right now the federal reserve is printing 100 billion dollars a day this is going to get worse and worse and worse and worse until this is the russian revolution 1917 what happened was russia lost world war one the army came home the people were in the streets hungry they couldn't buy bread and they said we want some bread the czar said to the military shoot the people and the military turned around and shot the president they shot the czar which is Caesar that's what czar means the Caesar the emperor they shot him they sent i think it was eight assassins for his family of eight or was 11 assassins like they sent an assassin to kill his baby they sent an assassin for his wife and one assassin per kid that's that's how much they hated him and after that guys what happened 80 years of communism the government killed 20 million of its own people could that happen again yeah that was 1917 bro that's not that long ago french revolution the people couldn't buy bread got very very violent back in napoleon's times and what's this american civil war that's 80 years before 80 years ago there used to be a currency called the continental is that currency around anymore write this down every fiat currency will go to zero value eventually so guys do you need real estate can you say hell yeah yeah you need real estate because real estate holds its value when you have rents and money coming in every month that holds its value do rent does rent go up by the way rent always goes up when the government prints money does do buildings go up in value and you can pull that money tax free with the refinance or you can trade it in guys all the laws in this country favor the rich and the government wants you to do two things provide housing and provide jobs because the government is too stupid to do those two things it doesn't know how to create a job and it doesn't know how to provide housing so all the tax breaks in this country are for people actually every country are for people who provide housing and jobs because the government doesn't know how to do it now some of you guys have been scammed you're concerned oh my god stefan arnie was teaching me real estate it's funny i talk about money sex religion politics violence and killing online no one says boo 98 five store reviews on amazon as soon as i talk about making money people like he's a scam fuck you you're a scam scam alert write this down many people have fallen for the 40 40 40 scam the 40 40 40 scam is where you work 40 years for 40 000 and then at the end of your days you retire on 40 of what you couldn't afford to live on in the first place commonly known as a job j o b stands for just overbroke because your employer will pay you enough to keep you there but not so much you can leave do we agree that's called a job and then the government comes in takes half your money in taxes that's what they do in canada in finland they take 60 or 70 here it's not that bad but do they take a big bite yeah and it doesn't go to the roads motherfucker it goes to the central banks people say what about the roads no it goes to the central banks this is a study done in harvard in the 50s they had a class of graduating men and they followed them for 45 years harvard graduates at the end of 45 years one percent of them were wealthy four percent were financially fit five percent were still working and the rest were either dead or dead broke how many of us want to be the one percent well guys you got to start investing in yourself like the one percent now you guys want to talk about women because that's that's what you guys love the most this is my book called the oracle it's coming out before christmas this is hard times for women all right so many women read hard times because i said it's not for women this book is not for women as soon as you tell women they can't have it what they're gonna do they're gonna read it so i ended up writing the oracle the queen the princess and the whore it's the fourth book in the hard time series the series of four books it's about the four types of women i'm gonna teach you guys a little about women now here's the thing what women want there's an old story from the middle ages that goes like this there once was a handsome knight and he was riding through the countryside and over yonder in a field he sees a beautiful virgin a maiden so he gets off his horse and he rapes her this young girl runs into the local town she's crying oh my god i just got raped in the night he struts in like he's the man when he gets to the gates of the town they arrest this young knight and they bring him into the court and the queen says sir knight did you rape this young girl and he says yes i did he's a raping knight but he's an honest knight and she says very well if that's the case you shall be put to death one year from today if you do not find out what it is that women want and so the knight is free to go for a year on probation and he has to find out what it is women want so he goes all around the countryside asking what is it that women want and some people say women want money women want babies women want houses women want freedom women want turns out they want everything how many of us can identify with that everything and all at once touch me don't touch me you've heard that so it's the last day of the year and he's not sure what it is that women want and this old beggar witch this oracle says sir knight i have what you desire he says tell me and she says well if i tell you you have to marry me so the knight says to the oracle i'll give you what you wish if i'm saved and she whispers it in his ear so he goes to the court last day of his probation and the queen says sir knight do you know what it is that women want and he says yes i do and he tells the court and the queen goes damn that's the best answer i've ever heard you're free to go and he leaves he starts to walk away and then the old beggar witch comes on says sir knight sir knight we have an agreement and the queen says what's that this knight agreed to marry me if i told him what it is that women want and the queen says very well is that true and remember he's an honest knight so he says yes and that night they're to be married and so they're in their wedding bed that night and the oracle leans in for a kiss she says sir knight sir knight won't you lean in and kiss your bride and she's ugly and she's old and she's disgusting and her skin's hanging down and she's drooling and she's got a googly eye and he's like oh my god no and she says sir knight please please won't you kiss your bride and she wants to consummate that marriage with sex and with a kiss and he's like oh my god and finally she says sir knight won't you lean in and kiss your bride and he leans in and kisses her and she becomes this beautiful young maiden and they live happily forever after and you might be wondering what it is that women want gentlemen get your pens this is ancient knowledge women want mastery over their men but there's a paradox if it was so easy why don't you just do whatever she wants she wants mastery over her man that can't be mastered and men we want a paradox too our paradox is the virgin whore i know i know we want to defile the virgin whore that's what all the porno's are made out of cheerleader porn babysitter porn teen porn two cheerleaders two babysitters whatever that's the virgin whore and girls what do they like for porn 50 shades of gray christian gray he's a billionaire he's ripped he's got a six pack he's got a helicopter he's a billionaire and somehow he takes this little 21 year old girl that's the ultimate hypergamy and she masters him somehow this little 21 year old secretary masters the great christian gray so women want mastery over their men that can't be mastered those four types of women oracles queens princesses and whores women are born princesses and depending on their virtue and their purity they either become queens they become married or they become defiled and they become whores now in our society these days guys are we living in a whore world now i don't even think they make virgins anymore they're just not even made so if a woman becomes married and she becomes the queen that's your queen demanding your potential and then one day when her husband dies she'll become the oracle the old grandmother who's very wise and she's seen it all women drive men into the future write that down women drive men into the future if you want to reach your potential get a woman she will drag you they're kicking and screaming four types of men kings knights warriors slaves now all men we are born slaves write this down a slave is a man who doesn't know his purpose and he works for another man you become a warrior when you find your purpose and you start to struggle with it it's a key word struggle when you become good at your purpose and adept you become a knight and then one day when you're married you'll become king so how it works gents here's the hierarchy of of desirability masculine power and feminine ethics feminine morality the women are valued depending on their morality how pure they are and moral and ethical men are valued on their power a slave wants a whore a whore wants a warrior a warrior wants a princess a princess wants a knight a knight wants a queen a queen wants a king and a king wants the oracle notice that we always want one better than we are especially women they're hypergamous now here we have 10 men and 10 women uh-oh gentlemen out of these 10 men how many are disqualified from having any women let's be generous half okay so half of you motherfuckers zero women okay if we had 50 men 50 women half of the guys you're out you're not handsome enough you're not rich enough you're not tall enough blah blah blah whatever now out of these men how many of the men are going to have most of the women yeah so we got two women no one wants the bottom of the women and then these two rock stars are gonna take these eight women is that unfair or unfair yes or yes that's unfair so how many of us want to be one of the two guys time to invest in yourself gents now notice this the guy who's a 10 he ends up marrying the nine woman the nine woman goes for the 10 man why she wants someone better than her so then the eight woman who does she go for the nine man the seven woman goes for the eight man the six woman she goes for the seven man and this goes all the way down and the 10 woman what happens to her she's a cat lady because she's looking for an 11 and there is no 11 you guys feeling me okay two cat ladies on the bottom one cat lady on the top and then those two girls they're cat ladies too everybody has 10 they have two children each the game resets okay so half the women they end up without husbands half the men can't even get a woman if they try because they're janitors or whatever and then we got these guys in the middle now here's human nature this is something I learned coaching this lines up perfectly with what I just showed you 50 percent of people do nothing you sign up some men say oh step in that real estate looks like a scam fuck you you're a scam you might be one of the 50 percent of people who does nothing you give the guy the best guns the best tools the best everything you drop them in 50% do nothing why mommy issues daddy issues psychological problems spiritual problems whatever your problems are 50% of people do nothing 47% of people do the bare minimum to survive if you whip them so if they have a manager whipping the shit out of them they will do the bare minimum to survive how many of us have seen that in reality okay it's making sense to you the top 2% of the 47 are superstars if you whip them and if you stop whipping them they get fat in the off season and they can't get back on the court and then you got 3% self-whipping superstars so guys which ones do women want that 3% so if you're one of the 3% who has the power when it comes to marriage and picking a mate you do women all women are competing for that 3% I like the hat make women great again it's true if they want to get married to that 3% of producing men time to become great again I'm gonna finish up with this last concept here so here's the hero's journey this is from my book the Oracle by the way you guys enjoy this information okay good thank you oh almost got almost got some clapping thank you so here's how every man's journey works he starts at the bottom as a slave and then man finds his power man will find his power by becoming good at his work write that down guys by becoming good at your work you will find your power and your confidence in life his power will put him into darkness I got this curve this is the hero's journey power will put you into darkness this is where you have so much power you don't know what to do with it now you're a whore monger and have eight girlfriends now you have a gambling addiction now you're drinking smoking weed because you have too much power write this down guys when your power exceeds your ethics you'll destroy yourself when you have more power than your ability to manage it you will destroy yourself inside the darkness you'll have to face your demons that's the real issues in life if you can kill your demons you'll find your ethics and then you're ready for a woman but we have to go through a lot of shit as men to qualify for women we have to go through power darkness demons ethics women who are born powerful with their breasts and their hips their vaginas and their legs they got power on day one so they've got to learn to be ethical right away the woman's journey the man's journey looked different when you find your woman you'll marry her and you'll reach immortality through children because we all want to get laid get paid and live forever that's what we all want get laid that's the woman get paid that's your your purpose your money and live forever that's reproducing with children how many of us notice this is every story ever told hands up every story ever told is this story Star Wars is this story Odysseus is this story you know the Aeneid the Bible every story is this it's the only story ever told and what ends up happening here is it's a cycle you go from power to darkness to demons to ethics which will put you back into power back into darkness and that goes around and around just like hard times create strong men strong men create good times good times create weak men weak men create hard times this is a cycle you'll go through it over and over again I want to finish up with this quote one of my favorite quotes ever it's from the movie wall street man looks into the abyss and there's nothing staring back at him and in that moment man finds his character and that's what keeps him out of the abyss I want to thank you guys for being here today I'm gonna offer everybody in here a book money people if you want to come to the booth come get a book if you enjoy this information please get a copy of hard times they're for sale today check out black card university and I want to leave you with this the self-made man you guys are all here seeking something and what you're seeking is your potential do we agree a man's purpose is his work and your duty in this life is to find your potential and on that journey I say this you're self-made and you are you are on a journey I salute you in the pursuit of your highest and greatest self thank you very much for having me gents come visit the booth coming up Anthony if you got time I got time you guys want to do some questions come on back yeah let's go guys move how do you think the coming recession that's likely to happen the next couple of years is going to affect asset prices in the short term and then in the medium term is it going to be like 2008 where there was this enormous real estate crash in large parts of the US and then it went back up or is it going to be a different situation I think there's two scenarios that are going to happen one is there's either going to be a petrodollar issue where the US is the only country in the world that can export fake money for real goods you guys should write that down the US exports fake fucking money for real goods so everybody else in the world has to produce real goods and trade real goods whereas the US prints fake money and they get real goods in return so if there becomes an issue or China Russia Iran and some countries with air forces that can actually fight decide they don't want the US dollar anymore for oil there's going to be a real fight and a real problem the other issue that could happen is there could be some sort of American civil war and I don't know what that is so there's those are two events by the way if you guys want to read more about that kind of stuff there's a book you can read called the fourth turning by Strauss and how they've got those predictions written out this book was written forever ago and they've got the cycles written out all the way back to the middle ages and they even talk about the petrodollar they talk about all this stuff I'm talking about I'm not a genius I just look at the trends so here's what's going to happen interest rates are going negative right now which is fucked up it's never happened in history interest has been seven percent for forever last 300 years has been seven percent right now you can see interest rates going negative the Fed is printing more money than ever to stimulate the economy we're probably going to see the stimulus keep going until Trump becomes president again I think he's going to become president again because nobody on the democratic side of the aisle is smart enough to even compete against him so you'll probably have a Trump second term and what happens with the US election on the second term is that's when they let the economy go so if you recall 2008 new president came in and then they let the strings off the economy and it dipped so we could see that happen again I think we're right in that like six month kill zone right now or something's going to happen but here's the question is it going to be inflation in which case assets go up in value money goes down in value or is it going to be deflation where the money stops moving or is it going to be stagflation you know that's where it stops moving and it slows down you don't want that my guess is probably going to be inflation but you don't know so the number one thing to invest in is yourself and your skills if you invest in yourself and your skills and you know what to do you know how to sell you know how to raise capital you know how to negotiate you know how to build something then you can ride the opportunities I don't think anyone assets going to save you I don't I don't think gold is going to save you I don't think real estate is going to save you I think your skills is going to save you so invest in yourself okay thank you thank you hi so you mentioned Dan Locke in your presentation as someone who may have influenced you who are some of your other mentors that kind of helped you along your journey from being a high school music teacher to just where you are now so I've spent $425,000 on mentoring in the last 10 years so every year that's about 40 grand of spend when I was 21 I spent 10 grand to go to Palm Springs I spent a week with a billionaire named Bill Bartman and he was a millionaire twice billionaire once and that's where I learned how to raise capital I learned how to write a loan proposal all sorts of things so Bill Bartman was a big one but dude I mean I buy everything I go on Amazon I'll buy 20 or 40 books at a time I'll buy every book on audible I'll go to all the classes like I just go to everything because I figured out this equation guys it's cheaper for you to spend money on yourself than to not spend because the biggest cost in this life is your wasted potential if you're worth 250 grand a year and you're making 50 and you don't spend 10 or 20 grand on courses to get to 250 you just lost 200 grand but because it didn't flow out of your hands you didn't see it so dude I say just take everything man go with your passion learn to sell learn to negotiate Dan Locke he's a cool guy I know him a little bit he's been on my podcast you know he's got a he's got a sales program that's a cool program I got a program go find someone that you like and start working with them and guys don't be afraid to spend money you've got to spend money if you want to level up thank you thank you any more questions or yeah actually yeah I have a second one yeah so a lot of the speakers here have mentioned failure as a mechanism to kind of build upon for success like can you just describe some of your kind of setbacks and kind of how you worked through them and like what you've learned from them yeah so I got a book at my table called hard times two last year I had colon cancer had my entire colon cut out doctor told me I'd be dead in two weeks and I went to the jungle and fasted out that cancer when I came back it was gone so that's pretty fucking scary man I mean when you think you're going to die that's the ultimate I've been on the edge of bankruptcy a bunch of times haven't actually gone bankrupt but been on the edge I've lost an engagement I've lost a fiance I had a girl that completely broke my heart a couple years ago wrote a book about it letters to a scorpion after that I wanted to die and boom one week later got cancer so dude I've I've been to the bottom on health I've been to the bottom to the bottom on wealth I've been to the bottom on relationships spiritually emotional I've been to the bottom on all of them and what's cool about that is when you get to the bottom of them your ego dies and then you become kind of invincible because you're not afraid anymore because you already fucked it up so I'd say to you man I mean I got a letter I wrote to myself in letters to a scorpion and it's called break the world and it's a letter I wrote to myself as a younger man I said listen young man the only things I've regret in life are the things I didn't do and things I didn't do soon enough those the only regrets you're gonna have the didn't do is and didn't do soon enough and don't be afraid to break the world break your body break your business break the bank break it all because you can fix it all but the only thing you can't fix are the things you never did thank you thank you that's all it's time we have give it up one more time guys
