Why You're BROKE & How To Fix It | How To Be Rich and Successful In Life



Forget your education skills or connections when it comes to making
money the most powerful tool you can harness is your mind and unfortunately
many people's mindsets are holding them back from realizing their full financial
potential in fact there is a clear divide in mindsets between the rich and
the poor and until you adopt the right mindset you will be poor forever
therefore in this video I will reveal the real reason you will never be rich
and if you're new to the channel then hit the subscribe button below for more
life-changing content if you look around you you will begin to notice that the
majority of people follow these same paths in life in the Western culture the
typical life path includes going to school getting married and starting a
family followed by working a job for 30 years or more and then retiring well so
many people prescribe to this way of life does anyone ever stop to think that
maybe this isn't the optimal life path from a financial and life satisfaction
perspective signing up to work a job for multiple decades and counting down the
days until retirement is reflective of the mindset that is keeping so many
people broke this path in life is indicative of the mindset that 99% of
poor people have and when I say poor what I really mean is those who are
living below their financial potential from a solely statistical perspective we
already know that 78% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck so this
group of people are definitely living in a suboptimal financial State in fact
most people in the middle class also face many trade-offs in their day to day
lives that could be avoided if they were to adopt the right mindset the reality
is that very few people possess the mindset that will make them rich but
let's first go over the mindset that one possessed will ensure you stay broke
forever in life there are two mindsets you can hold an offensive mindset and a
defensive mindset and if you hold the lighter than chances are you will never
lead a life of financial abundance you see the defensive mindset manifests
itself in many forms and can show up in all aspects of our lives for instance if
you're in college then there are two mindsets you could hold an offensive
mindset and a defensive mindset one will hold you back and the other is bound to
make you a top performer in the academic context having a defensive mind
that looks like this you work two weeks out from writing a final exam and you
know that you need a 65% on the test of poss with a 50 in the class you plan out
your study sessions to minimize how much material you'll have to learn to get the
65% you need so that you can get your credit and move on to the next class
the offensive-minded student thinks differently however for them they
disregard what mark they need to pass the class because they want to excel and
score perfectly on the final exam so the student studies non-stop for the
next two weeks leading up to the test and as planned is able to get a hundred
percent on the test for their hard work they receive an increase in their
scholarship for the following year and learn that putting in maximal effort
does pay off in life this same divide takes place in the
working world when you leave college there is typically two paths you will
choose to go work for the government or in private industry government jobs are
generally synonymous with job security reasonable pay but low growth potential
the private industry on the other hand is more competitive resulting in much
less job security however salaries and growth can be significantly higher let's
use the example of our friends Tom and Jeff to see how their lives would be
different depending on how they approach this major life decision after
graduating college Thomas talking to his parents and like
most parents they want Tom to work at a steady job and have a reliable paycheck
coming in every two weeks they themselves both worked in the government
for their whole careers and knew that if Tom were to take a job there he would
never have to deal with the stress of losing his job convinced by his parents
Tom decides to take a government job Jeff is also being suggested by his
parents to get a government job and while the modest salary and pension are
tempting Jeff feels like he is up for the challenge of working in private
industry during the first few years tom is liking his government job the
day-to-day work is palpable but the pay is good and he always gets to leave at 4
p.m. meaning that he has a perfect work-life balance Jeff on the other hand
is making much less than as government working peers while also putting in
50-hour weeks but the vast amount of learning he is doing on the job and the
exciting projects he gets to be a part of are keeping them interested in the
role fast-forward five years and both men are in quite different circumstances
than when we first met them tom is still working in the government
and now has a family what was happy that his job allows him to spend a lot of
time at home with his newborn he figured he'd be making more at this point in his
career and while his paycheck was enough when he was single he begins to face
financial challenges as his expenses increase sure he could move into private
sector and hope to make more money but giving up this secure job in pensions
seemed like too much of a risk especially now that he has a child Jeff
is still working in private industry and is now a manager at a reputable firm he
too has started a family and while he does still work more hours than the
average person he still finds time to be the great dad that he always wanted to
be Jeff often looks back on his earlier work days and his glad that he put in
the time that he did as he now is making more than enough money to cover his
living expenses so for him and his family money is an important of stress
if you extend the story's timeline not much changes Tom will continue to live a
financially mediocre lifestyle well Jeff will continue to grow in his career and
as such his income will grow over time the difference between these two
situations comes down to each man's mindset Tom wanted these safe route and
his defensive mindset led him to making the most conservative decision possible
Jeff on the other hand knew that working in private industry had its risks but by
harnessing an offensive mindset was able to reap much greater rewards in his
career now let's introduce a third character named Steve after college
Steve rejected the typical nine-to-five path and instead started his own
business six months into his entrepreneurial venture Steve wasn't
making much progress and was starting to wonder if he had made the right decision
you see all of Steve's friends decided to go to college and most were very
judgmental of his decision to pass on school about a year into his journey
Steve was still not where he wanted to be financially and one day his friend
called him and advised him to sign up for college in the upcoming year his
friends saw that Steve was suffering and knew that Steve was always an excellent
student and that going to college and getting a job would be easy for a smart
guy like Steve however Steve told his friend that he
knew he could go to college and get a decent job after graduation but that
didn't appeal to him even if it would offer a reliable income
his friend asked him why he was willing to suffer in poverty when he knew he had
other options Steve explained that sure getting a job
in receiving paychecks every month would make his life a lot easier and would
protect him against poverty but his goal wasn't to be protected against poverty
his goal was to become rich and no job was ever going to allow him to achieve
this goal in due time Steve was able to figure out
his way in business build a profitable company and reach all his financial
goals however it all started with having the right mindset or more specifically
an offensive mindset like I said earlier this defensive mindset manifests itself
in many forms and another instance where it is prevalent is in investing like it
or not investing does involve some sort of risk well the market has on average
provided a 7 percent return over the course of its history there is no
doubting the fact that certain years are better than others and that the risk to
lose money exists for those playing the money game in defensive mode the risks
involved with investing are often too much to bear however not investing can
often be just as detrimental to your finances as if you were to invest you
see most people who hold a defensive mindset want to reduce a financial risk
as much as possible because their life consists of making just enough money to
live and the thought of losing any that little nest egg they've been able to
save up is unfathomable so they stick their money in a savings account
thinking that this is the best way to shelter their money however with the
average savings account providing a return of just 0.09 percent annually
when edit against inflation these people are actually losing money but wait
wasn't investing going to lose the money and saving it would keep it safe if that
same amount of money was invested in the market and received a conservative 5%
return even after inflation is considered those who invested would be
ahead sadly we'll to statistics support the benefits of investing the reality is
that still most Americans fail to leverage this financial tool in fact the
numbers show that it's those with offensive mindsets that are reaping all
the benefits of investing recent figures show that 84% of all US stocks are owned
by the wealthiest 10% of Americans therefore going on the offensive and
letting your money work for you definitely appear
to be a main contributor in the achievement of financial success but
beyond your career or your investing strategy the mindset you hold whether it
be a defensive or offensive one will permeate all aspects of your life you
see from a broader perspective there are two kinds of people in our world people
will focus on what they don't have the power to change and people who focus on
what they can change most people I know and meet usually focus on what they
can't change they focus their attention on how they were raised who their bosses
or what government is in power this is a sign of defensiveness because you
attribute your lack of success to external factors however the offensively
minded person assesses the situation they are in and finds ways to make it
work for them for instance if you have a bad boss why not look for a new job not
getting paid enough instead of complaining like a defensive minded
person would why not take classes at night to increase your skills and get a
higher paying job the reality is that obstacles exist in the lives of every
single person those with defensive mindsets see the obstacle and accept
that it will always impede their path to success however those with an offensive
mindset see through the obstacles and as a result find ways to get to the other
side so now that you know the two types of mindsets which will you choose thanks
