1
At the time of this recording, I'm a 44-year-old multi-millionaire.
2
But if I could go back and give my 20-year-old self some advice on how to get rich a lot faster,
3
here's what I would say.
4
Rule number one, don't lean your ladder against the wrong wall.
5
Most people don't plan for success.
6
If you're climbing a ladder and you're successful,
7
you might get to the top and realize it's leaning against the wrong wall.
8
Then you got to climb all the way back down,
9
grab the ladder, walk across the room to the right wall,
10
and then lean the ladder back up and go through that whole process again if you don't plan to be successful,
11
you'll live a life of default, not design.
12
So don't get good at something you hate only to get there to realize it's not the life you want to live.
13
Which brings us to rule number two.
14
No one needs to change for you to win.
15
If I want to win,
16
I got to find the people that are going to support that.
17
I don't care what my parents,
18
my friends, my partner, my kids say to me.
19
I've got to find the people that want to support my dream.
20
If they don't, that's fine.
21
That's their journey.
22
I need to go create a scenario or find the people that are going to help make it happen.
23
I don't ask anybody to change for me to win.
24
I change.
25
I do the work.
26
I get good at dealing with the setbacks, the self-doubt.
27
Everybody second guesses me.
28
I learn how to overcome those things because that's a world where I control 100% of my outcomes.
29
Which brings us to rule number three,
30
play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
31
So many people make this mistake.
32
They do business with people they know are shitty.
33
They get involved in selling crappy products.
34
They raise money to build software that's essentially vaporware.
35
Now, are there good companies in those?
36
Maybe.
37
But are you probably going to find the wrong one if you're just starting off?
38
Yes.
39
Trying to take shortcuts today is only going to have to teach you those lessons
40
that you're going to learn down the road when you actually win.
41
Which brings us to rule number four,
42
avoid difficult conversations, create a difficult life.
43
I believe that success in all areas of life is on the backside of hard conversations.
44
Don't let the fear of hurting people hold you back from seeking the truth.
45
Most people would be wildly successful if they only learned to have hard conversations.
46
The idea of a clearing conversation,
47
of just speaking your preferences or speaking your mind
48
or sharing with other people your vision for life and being okay with them giving you that feedback,
49
most people are scared to have those difficult conversations and if you don't do them,
50
it'll just make pain in your life.
51
Which brings us to rule number five,
52
stop being so freaking serious.
53
You're allowed to be successful and have a lot of fun.
54
I went 15 years trying to be Mr. Serious Pants and realized that I wasn't having any fun the whole time.
55
And it turns out the fun part of me is actually a lot more fun to be around.
56
Turns out top performers enjoy getting done and also hanging out with somebody that makes them laugh.
57
You're allowed to be incredibly disciplined and structured and also live an exciting life.
58
The funny part is most people think that they're winning
59
because of that seriousness i actually think they're winning in spite of
60
that seriousness which brings us to rule number six
61
which is success is not final
62
and failure is not fatal here's the big idea success is not a destination it's a journey
63
and that journey should be cherished you should understand
64
that you have the privilege of dealing with all the challenges
65
and setbacks and frustrations along the path of winning and in the same breath Failing is not fatal.
66
It's not gonna hold you back.
67
Failing is learning.
68
Finding that seed of opportunity, that lesson learned.
69
When I create something, it doesn't work out the way I want it to,
70
I just ask myself the question, did I learn?
71
Yes, perfect, move forward.
72
That's what shapes you.
73
That's what gets you ready to receive the thing you've been asking for.
74
Instead of being upset by these setbacks, you should be grateful.
75
I give it zero effort because I don't want that negative energy slowing me down for creating in the future.
76
Which brings us to rule number seven,
77
stop waiting for the right moment, make the moment right.
78
Stop waiting for people to give you opportunities.
79
Stop saying, well, I gotta do A,
80
B, C so I can do G.
81
It's so crazy.
82
You're allowed to just start.
83
I heard a guy the other day,
84
he wanted to be a director.
85
He asked his friend, how do I become a director?
86
He said, just start telling people you're a director.
87
You know how easy that is?
88
Go create opportunities and just take ownership of what you want out of life.
89
There's no person that you look up to that was handed the perfect moment.
90
What they did is they took action and then created it.
91
That is JFDI.
92
If you don't know what that stands for, Google it.
93
It's on my license plate, is my core motto.
94
It is what I live by.
95
But that attitude will get you the results.
96
Which brings us to rule number eight.
97
If you want to go fast, go alone.
98
But if you wanna go far, go together.
99
When you're alone, you can make precision decisions and move very quickly.
100
Certain types of work need that because money loves speed.
101
However, if you're trying to build something big,
102
meaningful, durable, valuable to somebody else in the future,
103
then you have to go with other people.
104
You're never gonna get to your next level without other people around you.
105
Other people are gonna shape your thoughts,
106
are gonna shape your activities.
107
They're going to support you in creating that vision.
108
Learn to recruit, to involve,
109
to collaborate with other people.
110
Collaboration is the key.
111
Co-creation is the path learn to do that like your life depends on it because it does.
112
Being rich by yourself in a mega mansion is the saddest expression of wealth.
113
Which brings us to rule number nine,
114
the best revenge is massive success.
115
I remember when I was starting off 15 years ago,
116
I had somebody that literally said to me, you'll never make it.
117
You're not as good as you think you are.
118
And I don't even know why you try to my face.
119
And I took it.
120
And instead of allowing it to beat me up,
121
Anytime I made a decision that day forward
122
and it didn't go the way I want I just kept saying watch
123
And I knew if I got up every day and I pushed
124
and I grinded and I showed up and I did the thing
125
And I started keeping the commitments I made to myself in private
126
Every day I did that was watch me
127
If somebody doesn't believe in you the best thing you can
128
do is just win Here's how you know you got there
129
That person in the future apologizes and asks you for help
130
And if you've developed yourself to the point at that level where you have grace and compassion,
131
you'll give them that help.
132
It'll be tough, but it'll be worth it.
133
Which brings us to rule number 10.
134
The results you're looking for are found in the work you've been avoiding.
135
I remember I did this 12-hour hike and it was one of the hardest things I'd ever done.
136
Sounds easy, not easy.
137
And one of the questions I brought to ponder was this Joseph Campbell quote,
138
which says, the cave you fear to enter most holds a treasure that you seek.
139
That concept is life.
140
Most people avoid their demons when what they really should be learning how to do is how to slay them.
141
Stop avoiding them.
142
The work instills the worth.
143
Doing the work is what creates you.
144
Focusing on the thing
145
that is hard is what's going to shape you to become
146
ready to receive the thing you've been asking for your whole freaking life.
147
And instead of being scared about it,
148
I'm encouraging you move forward, lean into it.
149
Working hard isn't about long hours either.
150
It's not about hustling.
151
Working hard is doing the thing that scares you most.
152
Do that.
153
Which brings us to rule number 11.
154
Don't shrink yourself to make other people feel comfortable.
155
I can't tell you how many years I spent allowing myself to pull back,
156
to play small, to communicate small because I didn't want to scare people away.
157
I didn't want people to feel uncomfortable or less than
158
because I had I had big visions for my life and I knew that they didn't think that way.
159
Don't do that.
160
You have to be so okay being misunderstood for long periods of time by shining your light,
161
by being so great or having a vision that makes other people feel less than or uncomfortable.
162
It's their story, not yours.
163
If you wanna live an extraordinary life,
164
then you gotta learn to be extra.
165
You gotta learn to be comfortable being extra and you should never dim your light because it blinds other people.
166
Which brings us to rule number 12,
167
fear will always give bad advice.
168
Write this down.
169
False evidence appearing real.
170
I see this all the time with people around me.
171
They're like, well, you know,
172
I want to do this,
173
but you know, there's always this risk.
174
Says who?
175
Who told you that?
176
The probability of that thing being true is as likely as the opposite.
177
You have the power to create your future because you have the power to create the energy that you create from.
178
And if you decide that fear is something you've made up,
179
then you can decide the opposite is also true.
180
You could ask yourself a simple question.
181
What needs to be true for me not to be scared to make this decision?
182
What needs to be true for me to move forward without the fear?
183
Because it's giving you bad advice.
184
You need to create from a place of abundance.
185
Abundance?
186
That source?
187
That energy?
188
That gives great advice.
189
Which brings us to rule number 13.
190
Exhaust the body, tame the mind.
191
If you follow me on Instagram,
192
you will see me post almost daily.
193
A picture of me working out with that quote.
194
Why?
195
Because I learned that the more I put my body through struggle,
196
through stress, I decided to go in the pain cave.
197
When I do that, my mind gets clear.
198
My mind gets sharp.
199
All the problems I thought were problems just magically dissolve
200
because I've decided to go all in on the physicality strategically throughout my day to reset my energy all the time,
201
especially if you're 20 years old and you're just starting off.
202
If you can get your fitness in check,
203
if you can learn delayed gratification,
204
if you can learn how good it feels to go into the pain cave and rip those muscles,
205
if you can build that consistency and build your confidence by keeping those commitments you make to yourself at 20, wow.
206
Bank accounts fill up.
207
Which brings us to rule number 14.
208
Not everyone will be happy for your success and that's okay.
209
As you start being more successful,
210
the people that you thought had your back are gonna probably talk.
211
And the reason why is that in your winning,
212
you've shown them where they've decided to pull back.
213
Like in Australia, they call it crabs in a bucket.
214
It's a metaphor for people trying to get out and do better
215
and everybody pulling the crab back down in the bucket when if the crabs just got together and worked as a team,
216
they could all pull themselves out of the bucket.
217
But that's not human nature.
218
Mentors turn into critics and that's okay.
219
You need to just understand it's coming.
220
Stay close to the people who want more for you than more from you.
221
People that are closer to your goals not far from your goals.
222
Those people are gonna make the transition easy.
223
Which brings us to rule number 15,
224
consistency can fix 90% of your problems.
225
As I've already mentioned, consistency is the foundation of winning.
226
That foundation is what you install everything else on top of.
227
If you can't get consistent,
228
how are you supposed to do big things?
229
You're 20 with a big vision and you wanna create,
230
but it's like shooting a cannon from a canoe.
231
Your foundation isn't there.
232
I don't care how rich you wanna be.
233
If you can be consistent doing the thing that you know will support your dreams,
234
then it's not going to work.
235
So my challenge to you is this.
236
Are you willing to do the boring work for a thousand days?
237
Never missing.
238
If you can commit to that,
239
you will come out that other side a completely different person.
240
Which brings us to rule number 16.
241
Nobody cares about your story until you win.
242
Some of you want your parents to care about how hard you work.
243
Some of you want your friends to acknowledge that you're now successful.
244
But you don't realize that you've only been doing this for a few years.
245
And they've seen you be a complete twerp for a decade plus.
246
You got to understand, you have not proven to them that you are that person yet.
247
And guess what?
248
No one cares how hard you work.
249
Nobody cares how long you work.
250
So just go win.
251
Don't worry about the praises, the victory.
252
If you need praise to move forward,
253
you've already lost the race.
254
You have to learn to be okay making decisions with nobody praising you for you to win.
255
So just go out there and do it.
256
And trust me, all the setbacks,
257
all the failures, they will forget the moment you win.
258
Which brings us to rule number 17,
259
the pain you feel today creates the strength you feel tomorrow.
260
Most people can't deal with problems.
261
And here's a crazy idea.
262
You've never learned anything when things went right.
263
Period, full stop.
264
What I've learned is over the years,
265
every setback, every frustration, every failed company was teaching me how to deal with higher level problems.
266
And as I look back,
267
the size of my problems dictates the size of my life.
268
If I don't go through those challenges,
269
I'm not going to develop the armor that I'm going to need for the next devil.
270
At every level, you will find a new devil that has to be overcome.
271
And the only way you learn how to do that is if you deal with the first one.
272
Which brings us to rule number 18.
273
Peace begins when expectations end.
274
Some of you think you're winning because of your perfectionism.
275
And I'm telling you, the thing stopping you is your decision to be perfect at every step.
276
Stop demanding perfection and start embracing progress.
277
Evaluate where you've gotten to so far and celebrate that.
278
Don't beat yourself up.
279
You know, my coach Ed Milet says this all the time.
280
He's like, you can desire for more and in that same breath,
281
be blissfully dissatisfied for what you've achieved.
282
So acknowledge the journey and the person you've developed into today.
283
Let go of what you think life should be and just start focusing on what it could be.
284
Which brings us to rule number 19,
285
you receive what you desire for others.
286
The moment I stopped making it about me and started making it about other people,
287
my whole life changed.
288
When I realized it wasn't about me getting rich,
289
it was helping other people get rich, I got richer.
290
It's so crazy because you see this with artists.
291
Oliver Anthony, he wrote an incredible song, Richmond, North of Richmond.
292
He was interviewed by Joe Rogan and asked him,
293
why do you think that out of all the songs you've ever written your whole life
294
and being somebody that was a drunk living in a trailer, why you?
295
And he said two things.
296
I started reading the Bible and two,
297
I stopped making about myself and I started making about other people.
298
The more you desire other people around you to achieve,
299
I'm telling you, it comes back tenfold.
300
Which brings us to rule number 20.
301
The world will show you where you're not free.
302
It is the one of the most powerful reframes I use on a daily basis.
303
Anytime I'm facing a challenge or I'm frustrated with a situation, I get curious.
304
I go, interesting.
305
I'm not free right now.
306
What is it about this situation that's causing me to be triggered?
307
Because I believe it's in the discomfort of life that we are given our assignments to go do the work.
308
And if I could have figured that out in my 20s,
309
holy crap, I would have been even more of a weapon.
310
Every obstacle is literally an invitation to break free from your old patterns.
311
If you do that right,
312
you will grow so fast.
313
You will have so much abundance in your life.
314
People won't understand how you've been able to do it so quickly.
315
There's this book that's been written called Trauma.
316
Most people like get this book and put it on the bookshelf,
317
never to be open.
318
And I'm gonna encourage you to actually open it up and read it because as you do that work,
319
you're actually doing it for yourself,
320
but more importantly, you're doing it for the future family you're gonna build.
321

- Ascolta attentamente: Prima di iniziare, guarda il video senza interrompere. Concentrati sul tono e sul ritmo dell'oratore.
- Pratica il shadowing: Rimanendo in pausa dopo ogni frase importante, ripeti ciò che hai appena ascoltato. Questo ti aiuterà a familiarizzare con la pronuncia corretta.
- Analizza la struttura delle frasi: Presta particolare attenzione alle frasi chiave che hai trovato in precedenza. Cerca di comprenderne il significato e il contesto.
- Ripeti più volte: Rivisita le frasi e il loro significato, ripetendo il processo di shadowing. La ripetizione è essenziale per una pratica di conversazione in inglese efficace.

Seguendo questi passi, non solo affinerai la tua pronuncia, ma avrai l'opportunità di praticare la tua espressione verbale, facilitando il percorso verso il raggiungimento di una comunicazione più fluida e naturale in inglese.
Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?
Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
