So you wanna become a millionaire and everyone is telling you to read books, but hardly anyone's got time for that.

Luckily over my many years in business, I've read hundreds of books, but there are 40 money-making books that have really stuck with me.

So in this video, I'm gonna condense all of these books into the core lessons that will actually make you rich.

And no, I'm not just saying this, I have experience doing it.

I've gone from absolute zero to making tens of millions, and I didn't make my money on YouTube like most people on here.

I did it running real businesses.

So I promise that the things I'm gonna share with you today will take you from $0 to $100,000, 100,000 to a million and a million to $10 million, if you apply them correctly.

Level one, going from zero to $100,000.

First, you need to master your mind.

I didn't come from a wealthy background and during my youth, I vividly remember people saying the phrase, money is the root of all evil.

Secrets of the Millionaire Mind explains how these phrases programmers to believe that rich people are the devil.

It took me a long time to rid myself of the negative feeling in my stomach when I thought about making money.

If I'd have read this book sooner, it would have helped me realize this issue earlier.

Once I got over this hurdle, I had to ask myself, what is money actually for?

For me, the answer was freedom.

The psychology of money puts it a little differently and says it's all about control, but I suppose the goal is the same, to be able to do whatever you want, whenever you want.

It also touches on how there's a clear difference between the rich and the wealthy.

Wealth is what you don't see.

The car's not purchased, diamonds not bought, renovations postponed, clothes forgone, and first class upgrades declined.

Unfortunately, many people don't even believe that they can become wealthy.

I remember my school friends saying things like, I hope I can get an okay job when I graduate.

They weren't even hoping for a good one.

The magic of thinking big explains that people are setting their finish line too soon and therefore never have a shot at being successful.

While I don't believe that thinking big alone will make you successful, it's certainly the first step.

I always struggled in school and felt like a failure.

Interestingly, when I left and started working in the real world, I found that I kept winning.

This was probably because I chose jobs I had an interest in rather than learning things I didn't care about at school.

The winner effect talks about actual studies to back up this phenomenon.

The book discusses how positive correlation has been found between successful stock market traders and their testosterone levels.

Furthermore, winning increases the testosterone receptors in your brain, which causes you to win more in the future.

That's why it's important to set those achievable goals and get those little wins every day.

I believe that my struggles in school and my strong drive for success had a positive impact on my life.

They left me with no other option but to push forward.

Think and Grow Rich tells the story about a great commander.

Despite being outnumbered by a far superior enemy, he burned his army's own ships, leaving them with no escape plan.

This forced his soldiers to fight with everything they had, resulting in a miraculous victory against all the odds.

It just shows there's a big difference between wanting to succeed and needing to.

Being comfortable is just as harmful as having an escape plan.

During a chat with Andrew Tate, He referred to this as one of the matrix's tools.

Unscripted also presents this idea.

The author argues that society aims to transform us into model citizens, which stands for mediocre, obedient, dependent, entertained, and lifeless.

Avoiding this fate depends on how well you can manage stress.

The essence of success gives us a helpful perspective on this.

The book mentions that all the water that forms a fog that's 100 feet deep and seven city blocks wide can fit into a small glass.

Whenever I feel stressed, I like to imagine drinking this water and using it as fuel.

Now you can develop great habits.

Stress can also come from factors outside our control.

For this reason, I've made a conscious effort throughout my life to only focus on things that I can directly impact.

Atomic Habits reveals that many people fixate on the end goal, which they have no control over, rather than the process of achieving it, which is completely in their hands.

I found the author's habit stacking technique to be particularly helpful for forming new habits.

It involves pairing a new habit with an existing one.

So both are completed at the same time.

However, most people just keep putting things off and never form good habits.

I know far too many people would just go through the motions without any direction.

And before they know it, time has run out.

The seven habits of highly effective people stresses the importance of always knowing where you're going and thinking about how you want to be remembered.

I know this provides me with extra motivation, but this is only one part of the equation.

The 12 week year suggests treating a year as 12 weeks to create a sense of urgency.

This really hit home for me as I know I work best under pressure.

Although short-term pain is often necessary for long-term gain, it can be difficult to remember this when faced with challenges.

The art of getting things done emphasizes the importance of not relying on your brain to remember all your tasks.

Instead, capture them on a phone or a notepad.

This way you can organize your tasks without getting them confused.

And you can also be selective with how you spend your time.

Essentialism reminds us that for every task we say yes to, we have to say no to many others.

Therefore, it's important to value yes and not be afraid to say no.

After adopting these habits, you should start building high value skills.

I've previously said that I don't like the advice, follow your passion.

However, so good they can't ignore you takes it one step further.

The author interviewed many people who loved their jobs.

He found that most of them didn't initially have a passion for their work.

Rather, as they improved, their love for their work grew.

So what skills should you start building if you aren't necessarily following your passion?

The unfair advantage suggests that to succeed in an unfair world, you need to play to your natural strengths.

Find what you're better at than most people and lean into it.

However, it's no longer enough to just possess high value skills.

Artificial intelligence is rapidly replacing many jobs.

I'm using it more and more in my various businesses to complete simple tasks.

That's why the ideas shared in mastery are more important than ever.

My main takeaway was that you need to develop a unique stack of skills that is nearly impossible to replicate.

Still like an artist echoes this point when it suggests a copy from multiple inspirations until you have a mix that is truly original.

Having this unique skill stack will give you the ability to earn a high income.

However, that still won't mean you can build wealth without understanding the basics of personal finance.

When I was younger, I had a mentor named Dave who taught me about how the rich manage their money.

The biggest lesson I learned, which is also shared in Rich Dad Poor Dad, is that everything we buy is either an asset or a liability.

To figure out which one it is, we simply have to ask ourselves, is it putting money in our pocket or taking it away?

Of course, if you want to be wealthy, the aim should be to buy as many assets as possible, but lots of people don't see the value of investing.

Let me ask you this, would you rather have $3 million now or a penny that doubles every day for 31 days?

The correct answer is the penny because it actually turns into $10.7 million.

The compound effect uses this analogy to demonstrate the power of investing and gaining compound interest.

Once most people get their head around this, they get very excited, but end up jumping into the markets without really understanding anything.

That's what happened in the pandemic.

Everyone thought they knew what they were doing, but it was just a massive bubble waiting to burst.

That's why I've always followed the principles laid out in the little book of Common Sense Investing.

It states that trying to beat the market is a losing game.

Instead, you should own the entire market.

You can do this by investing in something like the S&P 500 or a broad market index fund.

Interestingly, over a 35-year period, only 1% of mutual funds could beat the market by 2%.

This means that index funds are a clear choice for the average investor.

100

Although, as I do find them pretty boring, I also like to invest in more interesting stocks with a smaller part of my money.

101

Whenever I do this, I keep in mind that the market is irrational.

102

As the intelligent investor puts it, you should imagine a person coming to your door every day called Mr.

103

Market.

104

One day he may offer you $2,000 for your stock and the next only 500, even though the company may be doing better than ever.

105

This is because the price of the stock is based on demand and not the actual real world value.

106

I only buy stocks if I'm prepared to ignore what Mr.

107

Market says for a long time.

108

Another phrase I live by is, if you love the store, chances are you'll love the stock, which was shared in one up on Wall Street.

109

This means if you've got a lot of experience of a company or product, you might actually have a bigger advantages than the pros when it comes to investing.

110

Before we get to the next level, I have to make one thing clear.

111

Reading books on investing can provide you with theoretical knowledge, but to truly succeed in investing and build wealth, you need to put that knowledge into practice.

112

So if you are going to invest, you need to make sure that you're using a tool that provides you with all the necessary information to make informed decisions.

113

This is where today's sponsor, MooMoo, comes in.

114

If you're interested in building wealth, then you're really gonna wanna listen to this.

115

It's a powerful investing platform founded in Silicon Valley with over 20 million users worldwide.

116

You can trade stocks straight from your laptop, iPad or smartphone, whether in the United States, Australia or Singapore.

117

You also don't have to worry about commission fees and account minimums.

118

I personally really like the free tool they offer, which allows you to see what famous institutions are investing in and what sectors are performing best.

119

As a beginner, you can also practice your trading ideas with a demo account before entering the market.

120

If you sign up today using the link in the description, you can receive up to 15 free stocks, each worth between three and $2,000.

121

That's an amazing deal.

122

These free stocks can help you start building your investment portfolio right away.

123

Level two, 100,000 to $1 million.

124

Now that you've fixed all your internal beliefs, to make the next leap, you'll need to know how to generate more value than you can from just selling your time.

125

We're taught to go to school, get good grades, and then get a high paying job.

126

However, when you do this, your earning ability is capped.

127

Cashflow Quadrant outlines four distinct ways to earn money, E for employee, S for self-employed, B for business owner and I for investor.

128

Business owners and investors have the advantage of using other people's time and money to build their wealth.

129

That's why it's crucial to move to the right side of the quadrant if you want to become rich.

130

But what does it really mean to be rich?

131

Well, the four hour work week explains this best when it says that relative income trumps absolute income.

132

To understand this statement, let me ask you a question.

133

An investment banker earns 500,000 per year working 80 hours a week.

134

On the other hand, an e-commerce entrepreneur earns 40,000 per year, but only works four hours per week.

135

Who's richer?

136

If we look solely at absolute income, then the banker is clearly making more money.

137

However, if we consider the time worked, the banker earns $120 per hour, whereas the entrepreneur earns $200 per hour.

138

To take it one step further, the entrepreneur can actually already live the retired life that the banker dreams of, as he can operate from anywhere in the world.

139

I'll take the entrepreneur route any day of the week.

140

Zero to One states that the first step to starting a business is betting on a contrarian truth.

141

This is the basis for most successful businesses.

142

For example, Netflix had to bet on the fact that people wanted to binge watch TV shows at home, and Airbnb had to believe that people would be willing to stay in a stranger's house.

143

For many people, the biggest hurdle is coming up with an idea.

144

However, this is often easier than you might think.

145

Disrupt You outlines an effective method, which is to write down three things that annoy you every day, and think about how they could be done better.

146

By doing this, you'll have 90 ideas to consider each month.

147

When you have an idea, don't be afraid to share it with people that can help you.

148

People tend to be too protective of their plans, but the truth is that an idea alone is usually not that great.

149

The Lean Startup emphasizes the importance of execution and the use of the build, measure, learn feedback loop.

150

This approach ensures that you don't create something nobody wants and allows you to pivot and adapt your idea as you go.

151

There was an interesting study conducted on 108 new businesses across 30 industries.

152

Out of these, 92 businesses chose to enter red oceans, while 16 adopted a blue ocean strategy.

153

A blue ocean refers to a market that has little to no competition, while a red ocean is named so because of the fierce competitions between competitors.

154

The study found that 39% of profits came from businesses in competitive markets, while 61% of profits came from those that used the Blue Ocean strategy.

155

Furthermore, these businesses went on to dominate their industries for 10 to 15 years after launch.

156

A good strategy for creating your own Blue Ocean is to become oversubscribed.

157

Consider Ferraris.

158

Many people want them, but not everyone can have one.

159

Yet the people that run Ferrari aren't losing sleep over this, as they know that this scarcity keeps demand high and the cars highly desired.

160

Every oversubscribed product has people who are willing to buy it, but can't get their hands on it.

161

When I'm driving up demand for my products, I always remember the core lesson from breakthrough advertising.

162

This book is actually the most expensive book in the video.

163

It states that you can't manufacture desires.

164

Instead, your job is to create a product that fulfills the market's already existing desires.

165

Level three, 1 million to $10 million plus.

166

Elon Musk wouldn't be nearly as successful as he is today if he didn't have the ability to inspire others to make his visions a reality.

167

Influence, the psychology of persuasion is one of the best books on this topic.

168

I've been using this principle in my model shops for years as my employees are encouraged to help customers with quick repairs for free.

169

I know that if we do this, the person's far more likely to come back in the future and make a much larger purchase.

170

You can use this with anything.

171

Just focus on giving value and eventually it'll come back to you.

172

Dealing with people comes with a lot of headaches.

173

You can't compromise on your vision, but you also need to make sure that people don't resent you.

174

Never Split the Difference says you can do this by using something called tactical empathy.

175

The key is to empathize with someone's situation to get them to empathize with yours.

176

People want to be heard.

177

And as mentioned in How to Win Friends and Influence People, they don't wanna be told they're wrong.

178

The reality is all humans are emotion led creatures.

179

They tend to make their decisions with this in mind and then justify their actions with logic.

180

Pitch Anything explains this as having three different brains.

181

The croc brain, which developed when we were mere animals, the mid brain and the neocortex, where we make all of our decisions.

182

Most people try to appeal to the neocortex when they want to sell something, but first you need to break through the croc brain.

183

You can do this by using emotion and making what you're asking for as simple as possible.

184

Leadership is something I've spent a lot of time learning about because the better you are at it, the more money you can make.

185

Start With Why shares a useful tool called the golden circle where why is at the center, how is in the middle ring and what is in the outer ring.

186

Bad leaders start from the outside and rarely get to the center.

187

This is like my teachers at school who told me to read because that's what I needed to do but never inspired me to take action.

188

On the other hand, my mentors told me that if I wanted to become wealthy and have freedom, I should read specific books and they gave me recommendations to achieve my goals.

189

After that, I really saw the value in books.

190

The key here is that great leaders inspire you to take action.

191

They don't tell you to.

192

It may surprise you, but all leaders are pretty calculated people deep down.

193

Reading the 48 Laws of Power opened my eyes to this even more.

194

One of my favorite laws was number 11, learn to keep people dependent on you.

195

This is so true as an employee and a leader.

196

If you can be replaced by someone, you can never truly have power.

197

However, if your future business is dependent on irreplaceable people, it will eventually collapse.

198

The reason why 80% of new businesses fail is that the person running it does not understand how to build systems and processes.

199

The e-myth outlines how most people who start businesses are not entrepreneurs, but rather just good at a certain skill.

200

For example, someone who makes good cakes may not necessarily be able to run a successful bakery.

201

These kinds of entrepreneurs often over invest in their businesses, hoping that one day they will turn a profit.

202

However, what often happens is the income slows down while expenses remain high, leading to the closure of the business and no profit.

203

That's why adopting the strategy described in the book, Profit First, is crucial.

204

The book proposes that entrepreneurs should run their business with the calculation, Sales minus profit equals expenses to ensure that they're always profitable.

205

I believe one of the primary reasons I've succeeded in business for so long is by specializing in one specific niche, radio controlled models.

206

Although it may seem small, I know I could be the best in my field.

207

Good to great describes this as having a hedgehog mentality.

208

Each day, the fox attempts new tactics to catch the hedgehog, but every time the hedgehog rolls into a ball, using this tried and tested strategy to avoid being eaten.

209

Being extremely good in one area makes you rich in the long run.

210

Up until this point, I haven't discussed world events as they relate to the bigger picture.

211

This is because I believe that you need not worry about them until you have the power to influence them.

212

If you have a considerable amount of wealth, it may be worth reading the fourth turning, which suggests that every century consists of around four 25-year historical blocks called the high, awakening, unraveling, and crisis.

213

Another good one is the changing world order, which discusses the idea that every major superpower has its time and eventually declines.

214

These can provide a perspective on how events and trends may impact the economy and society, which can be useful for making informed decisions about investments and business ventures,

215

but aren't necessarily something to worry about if you haven't made at least 10 million in my opinion.

216

I'm gonna leave the next video right up there, but don't click on it just yet.

217

Make sure to subscribe if you wanna grow your wealth.

218

Okay, I'll see you over there.
