What would you say is the mindset that wealthy people have around making it and growing their money for them versus the mindset of people that stay stuck in not making it?
Well, I want to distinguish there's big differences in opportunities. Yes. So let's say supposing you have two people of comparable opportunities. Yes. And then they were going to do that. Okay. The marshmallow test, as you know, apparently, is you take a kid and you say, okay, you can have one marshmallow now, or you could have two marshmallows in 15 minutes.
If you don't eat the first one, yeah. If you don't eat the first one, right? Yep. Okay, once you start to realize that deferred gratification... is gonna make you better and so on. And you start to count and you say, like something like how many days, weeks, months or years can I live if I don't have money come in? And you start to focus in on that. That's the first step.
OK, like the marshmallow test. OK, so I want to save. You got to start there. Then if you do that, you're necessarily going to go save in what, and then you'll start to get exposure to how these things are different. Okay. Then you start to care, one of these and one of those, and you start to experience, and then you start to learn. And basically that's what makes the difference.
That's it. So first, having the ability to have delayed gratification, then obviously diving in, researching, testing and trying different things. But the more and more you can say you don't want something now for greater later is the essential key.
Well, and what it does then when it comes to the money, that means money.
Yeah.
