 Seven things that poor people do that rich people don't. Now, fortunately over the years, I was born in a poor neighborhood and I grew up around poor people. So I know what poor people do. And I've been fortunate in my business and we've done okay. And I've met some incredibly wealthy people. And so I wanted to just kind of share these things with you because if you see some of these things in your life, seven things that poor people do that rich people don't, you may be able to identify them and say, hey, I don't want to do these things anymore. You know, that's not the direction I want to head. You know, sometimes you're doing these things and you don't even realize it. You're like, oh my God, that's exactly what I do. So I don't want you to do those things. So I figure if I listed them out for you, it would help you a lot. So that's what I'm going to do. So the first thing, this is the big killer. And I got to tell you, I was guilty of this years ago. I'm not anymore, but I was guilty of this years ago. And the first thing is poor people watch TV. They do, they watch a lot of TV and it's amazing how much time that will burn up. And that's number one, if you're keeping track. But the amount of time that TV will burn up, if you have a lot of favorite shows, you probably don't have a very big bank account. If you've got a lot of favorite shows. So that's the first thing I would tell you is that by watching these shows constantly, you're just gonna really, you're gonna hurt yourself. You are, rich people tend to read books. They tend to learn things. They tend to get better at what they do. And it's just kind of a bad thing. TV is probably not gonna do you any good. And I'm not saying never watch TV, but some people, they make a career of it. I mean, they put in their six, eight hours a day watching TV and it's a shame because it's really not gonna get you anywhere. And it's gonna cost you a tremendous amount of money. And the way it costs you money is that same time could be invested in doing something that's gonna move you forward. And I know a lot of people say, well, I need my downtime and that's why I watch TV and that's why I have my shows. You really don't. You really don't need that. And it's really, it's probably doing you more harm than good because for the most part it's negative. It's people arguing or bickering or bad news or whatever. So I'm gonna tell you that you probably don't need that. That's probably not something you need. But some people do it. Now, the next thing I'm gonna tell you is that poor people get paid by the hour or salary every couple of weeks. And rich people get paid based on results. What do they do? What do they do that contributes? What do they do that gets them more money? And I'll give you a good example. It's, some people say, well, I'm a really good person and I really work hard. And I know you work hard, but I want you to stop and just look at your job for a second and ask yourself how many people could do your job? And I'm not saying that you're not good at your job, but I'm just saying it is your job easily replaceable. But is your job something that almost anybody can do? If you're working fast food, I thought it was funny a few years ago, everybody was talking about, well, fast food workers need to be paid more because they can't live off their wages. And that may be true, but that job is a beginner job. It's not designed for you to be able to live off the wages. And a lot of jobs are like that. You know, you're just a janitor. You could be the best janitor in the world. I mean, you could be a phenomenal janitor and you could really clean better than everybody else, but it's easy to find somebody who can be a janitor. You know, if you're a brain surgeon, that's a little bit tougher, right? You don't have a lot of applicants for brain surgeon. So those guys are gonna get paid a whole lot more and I do marketing and I get paid based on my results in marketing online. And since I get paid on that, I get paid very well because I get good results, okay? And I figured out things that worked. And I gotta tell you, when I started off on this, you know, I was in the automotive industry and I didn't even know how to type. And I'll tell you the truth, I still don't know how to type. And I didn't know how to send emails and I didn't know anything about web pages or I didn't know anything about anything. I just knew that I didn't wanna do what I was doing anymore and I knew I wanted to do something different. So the number two thing I'm gonna tell you is you've gotta, you know, change that skill set. You know, if you're doing something that anybody else can do and you're working for wages, then you just, you're never gonna make much money. It's just the way it is. Another thing that poor people do and you see this all the time is they blame other people. They blame their boss, they blame their family, they blame their friends, they blame the government, they blame taxes, they blame the interest rate. They got blamed for everybody. And the problem with that is is that if you're blaming everybody, the things that really are your responsibility, you're never even gonna notice because you've got an excuse for where you're at and what's going on. And when you do that, guess what? You never get ahead. It just never happens. So, you know, that's another thing. That's number three, poor people blame people. That's the way it is. Now the next thing is, and you've probably been taught this your whole life and I was too, is that you need to save. You gotta save, you gotta save. You know, you gotta save, you know, a penny saved. Well, here's the deal with a penny saved. It's still a penny. It's still not worth anything. And you're never gonna be able to out-save inflation because you're never gonna get the interest rate that inflation is. It's just the way it is. So if you were to save constantly, and I'm not saying don't save some money, you gotta save some money for rainy day, but if you think that's gonna get you rich, you're totally wrong. Rich people invest. You know, they buy stocks. They invest in real estate. They buy things that are gonna increase in value. I remember, gosh, it's probably been 10, 11, 12 years ago. I was at one of our dealerships up in Tyson's corner and I was looking at the Sirius stock. I looked down at my phone. I said, well, how much is Sirius XM stock? What does it sell for? Because I was looking out there at all these cars on the lot and I was noticing they all had a Sirius radio in them. They all had Sirius XM radios. And the stock was 24 cents. Wow, I thought, well, I can afford that. That I can afford. So I bought it and I didn't buy enough, but I will tell you right now at September 4th, 2019, guess what that stock's worth? $6.22. Now, if I had invested 24 cents in a savings account and waited 10, 12 years, it would not be worth $6.22. I promise you. So that little bit of money I put in there was an investment and it went up. And I did nothing for it. And I also started buying some other stocks at the same time because I saw this trend thing. So you gotta not save you. I mean, you gotta save, but don't focus on that as a way to make money because you're not gonna do it. It's never gonna happen. You've always gotta put some money aside for a rainy day, but it's not gonna happen. You're not gonna get rich. Now, here's a big one because one thing I do every now and then by guilty pleasure in the weekend, I'll turn on that. And this is gonna be number five. I'll turn on that show Live PD. You ever see that show Live PD? And maybe it makes me feel better about myself because I look at those people and I go, well, that person's an idiot. That person's stupid. That person's dumb. But the one thing that I've noticed on that show and they're poor people for the most part that those police are coming up against is poor people know it all. They friggin' know it all. They get into arguments about what they know. And let me tell you what knowing it all is. Knowing it all is nothing more than saying, I've got this opinion, look at me. Look at me, I've got this opinion. So saying you know it all is basically just saying, look at me, I want attention. I want attention. And for the most part, those people who know it all, and I get it, I get comments on my videos, well, you should have done this and you should have done this and your lighting's not this and I don't like the copy you did and I think you're wrong about this. And then I always say, what have you done? What have you sold online? When was the last time you had a million dollar sale or $500,000 sale? When was the last time you sold a hundred bucks online? But you're so willing to give advice which is hilarious to me. And I just look at those people and I'm like, wow, you're giving me comments on what I should do and they don't do anything. It makes no sense to me. So that's number five is poor people know it all, rich people understand they don't know it all and they constantly learn. You know, a piece of software I'm using right now in a camera, you can't see this camera if you're on Facebook, you can on YouTube because I'm looking right at you. But this whole setup I've got here now, I didn't have a few days ago. And it's like every year I have new software. The software I use for marketing now called Cartra, I didn't use that two years ago. It's like you have to constantly evolve and I realize I've got to keep learning because I don't know everything and things are going to change and if I don't do that, then I'm going to fall behind. So that's the big one. Number five, poor people know it all. Number six, poor people believe that money is the root of all evil. You've heard it over and over. I heard it as a kid growing up because I live in a poor neighborhood and I said those rich people, they're bad people. They've got to be because they've got money they had to have done something wrong to get money. And rich people believe that poverty is the root of all evil. Think about it. You think of a bad neighborhood in your town, that's where all the burglaries occur and that's where all the break-ins occur and that's where all the drug sales occur. You don't see that happening in Beverly Hills. You know, I live in a nice area here in San Diego. We don't have those kind of problems in the neighborhood. So the truth is the lack of money is the root of all evil. Not having money causes you to do things you probably wouldn't otherwise do because you're not happy in your situation. You're upset or whatever. So no bank has ever been robbed by somebody driving a Rolls-Royce. It just hasn't happened, right? They don't need to do that. It's a waste of their time. So money in itself is a neutral thing and money can do good and it can do bad and I know it can still do bad. However, the point is poverty is the root of all evil. Not having money. And then I've got number seven. Number seven is my last, is that my last one? It is my last one on here. And here's what it is. Number seven is poor people have what's called a lottery mentality. If I could just hit it big one day, if I could just scratch off this ticket and I could really hit it big. And it's so funny because I went to the grocery store yesterday, I was right outside of Vons and there was a lady out there that was obese, terribly overweight, hadn't dressed that nice and she had a stack of these lottery cards and she was feverishly scratching them and scratching. I'm talking like maybe a hundred of them a lot. And I thought, wow, that's really pretty sad because she thinks that if she can make a little money on that, then that's how she's gonna get ahead. And that's just not the case. So I went off to work and I worked. And I worked most of the day and then I went to the gym and I don't think she went to the gym and I'm not making fun of her, but health-wise she was in bad shape. And then when I left the gym, we had to get some stuff for dinner. So I came home, got showered, did a live video, went back to Vons and lo and behold, that woman was back sitting outside at that table and she had another stack of lottery tickets. Now, I have no idea what she spent in a day, but I can tell you this, it's not gonna work. It's not gonna work. Rich people have an action mentality. They were like, if I can put forth some effort and I can do something, then maybe I will get ahead. Like, I do videos, I don't do that many videos. I started to do a whole lot more because people have asked for it. And sometimes people will say, well, you didn't get that many views on your video. You didn't have that many people in your live. And I'm like, yeah, that's true. Later on, I end up getting more views and people contact me and overall, I get results, right? And we sell our products and I sell my courses and I make money. And it may not be what you think it should be, but it's more than what you'll get if you do nothing. I mean, what kind of results are you gonna get if you don't do a video? I think a lot of people don't do that or they don't do a sales page or they don't do an ad because they feel like, well, if I do it and it doesn't work out that I'm gonna look bad, quit worrying about that. That doesn't matter. It really doesn't matter. Those people that are gonna have opinions about you are probably not the people that you really wanna be around anyhow. You wanna people say, well, that's a great job. You got three people to watch or you got two people. That's more people than they have because they're not doing anything, right? So the point I wanna make here is do something. Get some results. And success is not like, and I've had people say, well, you got it made now because you were successful in this survival food company and you've got these courses. No, because that stuff goes up and down. It's not every single day I make millions of dollars for my food company. It just chugs along and there's peaks and valleys and I make money on it and the same thing with my courses and the same thing with coaching and the same thing with marketing and the same thing with these videos. But I know this, if I keep putting forth effort every single day in the right direction with the right people and working hard at it, overall, I'm gonna make money and I do well. So I just wanted to share those seven points with you today. I hope it helps you out. I wanna give you a free course too.
