What do the rich tell people? The rich tell people to work really hard. Why? Because there are secrets to having money, secrets to getting wealthy, secrets that are shared amongst wealthy people. For instance, when you enter a room where people make over $100,000 a year, the conversations are different from those who make below $100,000 a year. When you get into a room where people make $500,000 a year, their conversations are different again. And in a room where people make a million dollars a year or more, the conversation changes dramatically. Why is that? Because there are secrets, a code of words that are said. Once you make it to a certain level, you become part of the team. The conversations then are about how to help boost each other up, how to utilize networks, and how to come together and achieve goals. But you must get into those rooms.
The Importance of the Right Environment
People often talk about finding a mentor, and I talk about it all the time—get the mentor, be around the mentor. But it’s also about being in the rooms where things are happening. When I started attending conference after conference and reading book after book, my life started to change significantly. I was around people who talked differently. At that time, I was working as a personal trainer, trading time for money. I loved it, but it was still trading time for money. Then I met someone who looked at me sideways and questioned why I was doing that. He pointed out that while it was great, it wasn’t the most efficient way to make money.
The Game-Changing Moment
This person made me realize that people want the easy way to do things, not the hard way. That’s why you sell them the pill, not the formula. He showed me this at a conference, where he sold $25,000 worth of information products in just a few minutes. I was stunned because I was making $50 to $115 an hour as a trainer. He made me see that rich people have different conversations. It’s not about working hard and pulling money out; it’s about using your brain and words to impact and influence others to get the work done for you.
Adapting to a New Mindset
After being exposed to this new way of thinking, it took me a while to fully understand and apply it. But my life changed. Rich people think differently; they focus on leveraging their skills and knowledge to influence others and create value on a larger scale. It’s about working smarter, not harder.
Conclusion: Transform Your Life
When you stay in self-development long enough, you start to understand these principles. They become ingrained in your subconscious, and you begin to act differently in your life. After leaving that room, I understood that there are ways to make significant money, like $25,000 in an hour. I had to shift my mindset from trading time for money to creating scalable value.
There’s nothing wrong with hard work, but you have to work smart too. Getting into rooms where high-level conversations happen is crucial. Surround yourself with people who are achieving what you aspire to achieve. This exposure will transform your mindset and your life. Remember, rich people have a code, a way of thinking and talking that leads to success. Learn it, and your life will change.
Believe in the process, and if you’ve made it this far, you understand that building businesses and automating tasks creates a lifetime of freedom for you. Stay motivated, stay dedicated, and your transformation will come.
