Chapter 1: What are the 45 lessons for building wealth in your 20s and 30s?
Chapter 2: Why is failing important for success?
at the time of this recording i'm a 45 year old multi-millionaire but if i had to go back and teach my 20 or 30 year old self how to get rich even faster these are the 45 things i would share number one winners lose more than losers ever will if you think about it to be masterful at something you actually have to fail way more than a beginner even tries
number two broke people spend time to save money rich people spend money to save time you can't outwork the problem of your skills not being good enough to make more money so if you keep trying to trade your time for money you'll always be stuck as a prisoner number three say yes until you can afford to say no when you start you have to say yes to opportunities to figure out what's going to work and what's not going to work once you actually find a winning formula
Learning to say no to create the space for you to execute is the killer strategy. Number four, you don't get rich until you feel rich. If you don't feel like a millionaire, if you don't walk around and act with that energy, then you'll never create the circumstance that pulls that into your life. You'll always push it away because you don't feel worthy. Number five, money doesn't change you.
It just amplifies who you already are. If you're a ding dong, trust me, you'll be a rich ding dong. If you're a great person that does good for other people, more money will just make you even better for the world. Number six, you've never gotten better when things were easy.
If you look back at every point in your life where you've grown, where you've expanded yourself, it came on the back end of you having to do something hard. It's on the back end of a puzzle that you solve that gives you new skills and perspective to make your life better. Number seven, normalize leaving people in whatever reality they've chosen.
At the end of the day, you can only control how you respond to things. And guess what? That means everybody's responsible for how they respond to things. And if their reality is polluted and negative and not supportive of your dreams and goals, leave them there. Allow that to be the norm. You don't have to convince everybody to see things your way.
Number eight, hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work. I know so many people that are so fricking talented but they never apply themselves that I see other people that just show up repeatedly, almost incessantly. It's like the most magical thing to watch them be determined and disciplined and then win bigger than the talented people and they're left confused how that other person succeeded.
Number nine, Your reality is a reflection of your most dominant thoughts, actions, and feelings. It's how the world is. It's how it's always been. Your life is a mirror of how you see it. So if you keep the possibility at the forefront and you execute from that thought, those actions, how that feels, your life will become what you see.
Number 10, the pain of regret outweighs the pain of failure every time. When I'm taking my last breath and I'm sitting there and I'm looking back at my life,

Chapter 3: How should you approach spending time and money?
Number 20, spend more time with people chasing a common future instead of people with a common past. Just because you sat next to somebody in math class does not mean that you have to be friends with them today. Your life gets a lot easier trying to build something you've never done before when you're around people that are on that common journey.
Number 21, you don't create success, you attract success. Who do you think somebody wants to help? The person that's always talking about the news or complaining about people or the person that always sees options and possibilities and has an expansive mindset? See, most people think they got to do, do, do to create their future.
And the truth is you have to become an attractive character to attract opportunities into your life because they're all around you every day. Number 22, the person who needs nothing can't be controlled. This is my problem with school. It teaches kids to be in a manufacturing system, a cog in a wheel.
What you want to do is get to a place where you don't have to get anything from any person to feel good about yourself. That person can't be controlled by the system. Number 23, people who are doing shit are too busy to talk shit. If you're around people and their default is to talk shit, I need you to understand that person has nothing going on in their life.
When you're heads down grinding and building and creating, you don't have time to even pay attention to the stuff. you gotta do, let alone talk crap about other people. Cut those folks out of your life. Number 24, whatever you aren't changing, you are choosing.
If you have some issue in your life, a person, a circumstance, an unhad conversation, you are choosing that scenario because you haven't said anything. So if you wanna change it, say something and move forward. Number 25, 99% of your problems could be solved with discipline.
When I look at all the times that I was not making the kind of progress that I wanted to make and I blame the economy and I blame my team, the truth was is I wasn't being disciplined in my life. I wasn't keeping the commitments that I made to myself. All your problems, most of them could be solved with just discipline. Number 26, create more, consume less.
Instead of complaining about social media, stop consuming it so much. Why don't you go create some content? Social media could be used as the most powerful personal development tool if you choose by creating the content for other people to consume. Number 27, your work ethic is a reflection of your gratitude.
If you have any success so far in life, there was a moment back in the day when you thought to yourself, if this could ever happen, I'd feel set. The goal that you set for yourself is literally your reality today Your work ethic about how you show up today to honor the fact that you've gotten to that place is the way you show gratitude for what you've got.

Chapter 4: What mindset changes help in feeling and becoming rich?
I used to make the mistake that if I showed up and people were scared of what I was about to say, then they would respect me. How silly is that? I don't want people around me because they're scared of me. I want people around me because they admire me. A leader is only a leader if they have followers.
It's people that have decided because of your character that they want to be around you that makes you somebody they admire. Number 42, if you want to be extraordinary, you need to be extra. If you're doing anything, and there's a of people around you while you're doing it, climbing that mountain, doing that race, then you're not really being extra.
So by definition of that last mile being very not crowded, that is how you know you're being extraordinary to get a life that will be extra. Number 43, you can love somebody from a distance. I know that your family means a lot to you. I know that you have friends that you've had for 20 plus years. But the truth is, is sometimes you have to create some space. It doesn't mean you don't love them.
It just means that for now, you need to go do your thing and not be distracted by their thing. So that's why we say you can love somebody from a distance. So focus on you for the next little bit. Number 44, the freest person in the room is the person with no secrets. See, everybody's walking around with mask on to try to protect themselves, their ego, their identity.
It's the people that take off all of the mask and just show up authentically themselves. They say what they think, they show up with a big heart, they don't worry about being hurt. That person is the freest person in any room. Number 45, comparison is the thief of joy. Everybody's talking about this person and that person
And they essentially live their life through this filter of everybody else compared to them. I should be richer. I should be fitter. I should be smarter. Here's my philosophy. The only person I'm comparing myself to is the Dan of yesterday. The person I used to be. I can ask myself, am I better today than I was last week, last year? If the answer is yes, then I'm making progress.
And that is the only thing that matters. Everybody else is on their own journey, their own timeline. They're not me. I didn't live their life. They didn't live mine. So the moment that you start comparing yourself to anybody else other than you is when you start taking the joy out of life.
