 Seeking wisdom now there's books backwards because the phones flip, but that's what it says seeking wisdom and you know Somebody asked me How should you focus? What should your daily routine be? I'm gonna tell you this Depending on who you listen to you can get a whole bunch of advice You know you need to be healthy you need to eat right get a six pack other people tell you need to pursue money Get your you know what they say secure your bag other people tell you you got to find love That's the most important thing other people are gonna say happiness. This is the most important thing, but Confucius said the man who chases two rabbits catches none And even though I'm a big fan of going after health wealth love and happiness. That's four things The man who kept your pursues for rabbits definitely gets none or a woman I don't know why Confucius said just men, but you know times have changed So I'll tell you what a friend told me Because if you're not careful in life, you ain't gonna get anything done Because there's too much to do if you're like me you're busy, you know, I'm just catching up here before I go to bed I wanted to record this video a while ago. I'm just getting to it now I'm sure you're busy. I have a friend named Alex and he said he came up with this term called the atomic use case I said, where the hell did you get that from me? He goes? I don't know. I just made it up And I said, what's the atomic use case? He said well You basically focus on one thing and by doing it everything else lines up kind of like Domino's you push one boom boom boom boom boom. You just got to push the one and the four all fall into place So what are the four things that fall that you got a folk? What are the one thing you got to focus on that all four of those will fall in place that you be healthy that you'll Have wealth you'll have love that you'll be happy, you know the good life all those things And maybe it's what this book is about seeking wisdom Wisdom is common sense and common sense isn't common anymore you see if You get wisdom You'll know What to believe about being healthy because there's a lot of diet fads out there You'll know what to believe about being wealthy because there's a lot of get rich quick schemes that don't work There's some get rich quick ones That ain't too bad You know not get rich quick overnight those don't work, but there's ones I call them get rich quicker Most people on a slow train. They're gonna be rich when they're 153 if you do the math That's the slow train. You want to be alive? So get rich you don't want to get rich quick But you do want to get rich or quicker and I'm not talking about everyone need to be a billionaire That's not practical, but financial independence is achievable. I believe by everybody especially if you depend on what countries you live in some countries a little bit harder than others but You know if you're in a Western country With democracy you should be able to pull it off even though it's hard even though those forces pulling against you if you got that wisdom that common sense Like I said, it isn't common. You don't learn in school. What is Jim Rohn saying my favorite quote right now? Formal education will make you a living but self-education can make you a fortune Think about what that means the practicalities of that. It basically means this That you go through the school system you go through the average upbringing I don't know how you're upbringing with your parents were but curiosity is killed It's killed young my parents telling you to not ask so many questions and just accept what they believe It's killed by the school system that doesn't have time or the curriculum for you And so what happens is curiosity is the precursor to wisdom you've got to be curious They be wise you got to understand it's kind of like a car if you want to be wise about a car You're gonna be able to flip the hood of the car look inside and understand how the engine works Because if you don't have that any mechanic could tell you anything to rip you off and that's how most people's lives Become they get ripped off because they don't understand what's under the hood They don't understand how the engine work. They don't understand psychology of how people that's part of this You got to know how to read people. They don't understand how economics work So they don't understand a little bit about the stock market getting about real estate, you know You got to know about Persuasion and sales because sometimes you're gonna have to show people your side of the story and do it convincingly enough that they believe you You know, I part of the reason I've made some of my businesses around online education You know, I got 67 steps I got the online real estate and social media marketing agency and the accelerator that teach you how to become an entrepreneur I got these different programs because I realize It's not out there Unless you read a lot of books and most people don't have time to read books So it becomes very tricky in the modern world to get this wisdom Because most people ain't wise Most people don't take the time most people's curiosity has been killed So you got to revive it in yourself. You know, I was with Grant Cardone earlier today and one of the things that stuck out of my mind I did an interview me on his on his Grant Cardone TV and he'd make a lot of money there But one thing that stuck me out is for you to be able to accomplish that Right. He's a smart guy. He's put in his years. You know figuring out how to do that and for you at the end of the day if You don't have common sense and wisdom you'll make a lot of money. You lose it. Did you know the average person who wins the lottery is Broke five six years later the average professional athlete You know the NFL football National Football League makes you call that not for long Meaning your money you have you don't play long because you get injured and you don't have your money long Because you don't know how to manage it and invest it So you got to know what's under the hood of life. You got to know how to read people You got a little bit public speaking got a little bit about sales. You got to understand marketing now the modern word You got to understand social media, you know, if you've got an idea, how's she gonna read people mark my word the days of billboards the days of even TV advertisements and radio advertising yellow-paces all disappearing I'm reaching you right now through social media bow right there And you can do the same thing when you have an idea when you got a business plan when you have a product You want to read a lot reach a lot of people But it's gonna take wisdom because social media isn't just a formula that you just go I'm gonna post something millions hundreds of millions of people post and most people don't see it You got to know how to stand out from the crowd That's understand the cognitive biases and understanding how to read people and understand their personality types Not all people are the same. There's probably depending which scientists you ask anywhere from 10 to 20 major personality types archetypes you could call them so again that Means you got to do a little study and I'm not just talking about flip open a book and answer questions and do a little quiz You know if you're in college or high school or a night school if you're an adult now I'm talking about common sense ain't common Can you do the practical stuff? You know and a lot of it's simpler than we try to make it So yeah, let's try a monger book seeking wisdom That's I'll give you example. That's why the social media market program. I close it and I open it back up I close it yeah I part of wisdom is understanding that most people are never gonna get with the program So what you're doing don't make yourself 100% available to all people because most people are fools and you want to surround yourself with fools So I got that social media marketing program I'm like I'll show you how you can do this and make some money full-time part-time got people making 10 20 This I think a guy make a 50 60,000, you know, not everyone does that obviously he's an exceptional case But he's only 21 Not that exceptional so I Open it up and say who's really hungry who ready to learn and Amazingly even when I show results path to people are either skeptical You know because when you don't have common sense, you don't know what to be open-minded versus when to be pessimistic. That's a balancing Sometimes you must be cynical, but sometimes cynicism closes the doors on opportunities You know people don't get that Sometimes cynicism closes the door on opportunity and sometimes it's wise to be cynical because you're about to be ripped off You got to know how to discern and tell the difference. That's common sense aka wisdom I close that program down some people are like, why can't I get in I close the real estate one for six months? People thought I was joking. No, I do that on purpose because it separates Separates the hungry from the fakers people hungry to learn from the fakers and then as people graduate I open up a few spots. Let me I think is open right now social media thing mom and closer back up And then people snooze they lose You got to know how to do that you got to know how to probe and test Most of your problems will come from people Even more than economics and who's the president and recessions those cause problems don't get me wrong and whether it causes problems at Hurricanes and all that earthquakes, but the majority of people's problems are getting along and being people exploiting you So that's another big thing That's one of things that you learn when you do social media You learn to read people because you interact with a lot of people I get thousands and thousands of comments a day across all my social media and emails and it's taught me is made me I think have a little more common sense that I didn't have before so at the end of the day your Ability to get health wealth love happiness the four pillars of the good life come from the single-minded focus on Wisdom and what is wisdom? Well, it's the common sense you get from being curious and observant and Trying things and not being afraid not procrastinating and being fearful, you know, so I hope you find it I'm seeking it. I don't always you know, I stumble upon it at times sometimes I'm wise and sometimes I'm a fool and hopefully as you get a little experience The days where you're foolish Are outnumbered by the days that you're wise and put a little common sense, you know Get out on a farm to get out of the city city. I'll make you lose Touch with reality. Don't take a height. Go camp. You know, go take a boat out fishing boat out of the middle of ocean Something to reconnect get grounded And if you do these things the reward is you can get that health you can get you make money You know get that health wealth love and happiness. Those are the byproducts of that single-minded atomic use case so Yeah. All right, talk to you soon
