Speaker 3: by P and C Bank, a lot of people think

1:51
Speaker 2: Want to I want to talk about this.
1:55
Speaker 1: I wasn't gonna take the tweet down. What tweet I'll talk.
1:59
Speaker 1: My skip told I'm gonna let you finish your monologue.
2:04
Speaker 1: We'll have some issues head.
2:06
Speaker 4: So it's important to understand before I say this. We
2:11
Speaker 4: come from a working class environment, like you know, sanitation
2:15
Speaker 4: workers and nurses and school teachers and you know, real
2:19
Speaker 4: hard working people, people that saved up for a vacation
2:23
Speaker 4: maybe once every two years, you know, working to send
2:28
Speaker 4: their kids to college, different things of that nature.
2:30
Speaker 2: Right, So.
2:33
Speaker 4: I want to preference it before I say that. Okay, no, no,
2:39
Speaker 4: it's important. But there is a thing called middle class
2:44
Speaker 4: mediocre mindset. I think I've coined that phrase. I haven't
2:48
Speaker 4: heard anybody else say it, but you know, I was
2:51
Speaker 4: just thinking about it, and it's extremely detrimental to your
2:55
Speaker 4: success if you're trying to break out of it, and
2:58
Speaker 4: you don't really realize it until you're out of It's
3:01
Speaker 4: like the matrix. You never really realize you're in the
3:04
Speaker 4: matrix until you break out of the matrix. And you know,
3:08
Speaker 4: nineteen Keys that said something and I actually looked it
3:11
Speaker 4: up on YouTube and it's actually true. Where they did
3:14
Speaker 4: a research study where they took flies and they put
3:17
Speaker 4: them in a jar and they put a they put
3:20
Speaker 4: a cap on the jar, and the flies obviously can
3:23
Speaker 4: only fly as high as the cap the lid. When
3:25
Speaker 4: they took the lid off, they still only flew as
3:29
Speaker 4: high as the lid, even though the lid was off.
3:31
Speaker 4: That's interesting. But what's even more interesting is that when
3:34
Speaker 4: they had children, their children only flew as high as
3:39
Speaker 4: the invisible lid because they were already program that that's
3:43
Speaker 4: only as high as you can go. So, you know,
3:45
Speaker 4: it's interesting like so many different things when I think
3:49
Speaker 4: about it, and you probably don't even realize these things happen.
3:52
Speaker 4: But you ever heard like parents tell their children like
3:56
Speaker 4: you just went, you just played yesterday, You just had fun,
3:59
Speaker 4: yesterd just have a party yesterday, Like you can only
4:02
Speaker 4: have fun one day out of the week. You only
4:05
Speaker 4: have a party one day, Like I had a family,
4:07
Speaker 4: Like I took my son to dinner in the city
4:11
Speaker 4: for his birthday.
4:12
Speaker 2: His birthday was on a Tuesday.
4:14
Speaker 4: And somebody said like, well, why are you taking him
4:17
Speaker 4: to the city on Tuesday, Like why don't you just
4:19
Speaker 4: take him on the weekend. And I'm like, well, because
4:22
Speaker 4: his birthday is on Tuesday. But that's the whole mentality
4:26
Speaker 4: of like, lo, let's just wait to the weekend because
4:30
Speaker 4: we're working, and we get like I say that to say,
4:34
Speaker 4: you really have to break out of the middle class
4:36
Speaker 4: mindset because this is s sherely detrimental and the most
4:41
Speaker 4: dangerous thing that America ever did was create a middle
4:44
Speaker 4: class because when you create a middle class, you create
4:47
Speaker 4: some level of comfort because you're not in poverty, right,
4:50
Speaker 4: You're not in poverty, so you think that you actually
4:53
Speaker 4: are living the American dream.
4:54
Speaker 2: You're not. You're really not.
4:57
Speaker 4: And it's like that mindset is so detrimental because there's
5:01
Speaker 4: so many limiting factors that go in to play here
5:04
Speaker 4: right where it's like you got to wait till the
5:05
Speaker 4: weekend to do things and you can only like you
5:08
Speaker 4: ever heard somebody say, like you just came back from
5:10
Speaker 4: a trip, why are you traveling so much?
5:12
Speaker 2: Well? Why not?
5:13
Speaker 1: Well?
5:13
Speaker 2: Why not? Why am I not traveling so much?
5:16
Speaker 1: Work for?
5:16
Speaker 2: Like you know what I'm saying, Like why am I not?
5:18
Speaker 4: It's a lot of these things that you have to
5:21
Speaker 4: be extremely careful of the kind of people that you're
5:24
Speaker 4: around because these kind of limiting words develop habits and
5:29
Speaker 4: your subconscious and then you feel bad about it. You
5:32
Speaker 4: like you you feel guilty about going on the trip,
5:34
Speaker 4: You feel guilty about going out too nights in a row.
5:37
Speaker 4: You feel guilty about going to the city on Tuesday,
5:40
Speaker 4: like you start to like rail it back a little bit,
5:42
Speaker 4: like I'm doing too much, let me let me pull back.
5:44
Speaker 4: But at the highest level, there's no limitations. And I'm
5:47
Speaker 4: speaking from firsthand experience because I see it. So when
5:50
Speaker 4: we in Dubai Abu Dhabi on a windy nobody knows
5:53
Speaker 4: whether it's Wednesday or Saturday or Sunday, it doesn't matter,
5:57
Speaker 4: doesn't matter, It really doesn't. Nobody says, it's four o'clock
6:02
Speaker 4: in the morning, what are you doing out? Nobody says
6:05
Speaker 4: it's six o'clock, you have to get up. There's really
6:08
Speaker 4: no rules in life at the highest level. There's no rules.
6:11
Speaker 4: Rules are only for middle class and poor people. Rich
6:15
Speaker 4: people don't have any rules. They make their own rules.
6:17
Speaker 5: So and we can argue that the middle class has
6:20
Speaker 5: died after Clinton left office.
6:23
Speaker 4: Now, yeah, so it's extremely important to understand that. And
6:26
Speaker 4: like I said, I'm not even speaking from a level
6:28
Speaker 4: of like condescending, but I'm speaking from firsthand experience because
6:33
Speaker 4: I've seen both both hands of it, Like this is
6:36
Speaker 4: how I grew up. So now when I'm in a
6:40
Speaker 4: different environment, but I always thought like that, but you
6:43
Speaker 4: start to see it, you start to see things, and
6:45
Speaker 4: it's like, damn, it's hard to even get people to
6:49
Speaker 4: understand that the way that they're thinking is so small
6:52
Speaker 4: and so limiting.
6:54
Speaker 2: So you don't even waste your time.
6:56
Speaker 4: But for everybody that's watching it, on your pathway the
7:01
Speaker 4: generational wealth, you're on your pathway to success, You're on
7:04
Speaker 4: your pathway to becoming, you know, a superstar in the
7:07
Speaker 4: entrepreneur world, whatever you want to do with your life.
7:10
Speaker 4: So just be mindful of that because a lot of
7:14
Speaker 4: times you're limiting yourself based off of the expectations that
7:19
Speaker 4: have been laid down from you, from your parents, your grandparents,
7:22
Speaker 4: your friends, your neighbors. So just be mindful of that.
7:26
Speaker 4: It's very important and.
7:28
Speaker 5: A quick exercise, real quick so it doesn't come off
7:31
Speaker 5: as elitist, because you know, I don't want to end
7:33
Speaker 5: up on share room with nothing sham.
7:35
Speaker 2: I'm hoping to end up on share room. I need
7:38
Speaker 2: we need shade room.
7:39
Speaker 6: We need that five hundred dollars dinners coming back now
7:43
Speaker 6: you understand us five coming back list?
7:48
Speaker 2: Becoming the only thing they gonna listen to? Vibes, what
7:51
Speaker 2: are we doing the only thing they gonna listen to?
7:54
Speaker 1: My man had a baby?
7:55
Speaker 5: Anyway, Please write in chat if money was not an
8:00
Speaker 5: object or issue, what are the three things you would
8:03
Speaker 5: do spending your day on. It's very important to set that.
8:08
Speaker 5: I remember when I set the decision to become an
8:12
Speaker 5: investor and trader. I'm like, man, I just want to
8:15
Speaker 5: be able to trade, not have to talk to anyone
8:17
Speaker 5: regarding to doing business and be able to make money
8:19
Speaker 5: out of the ether, and may have to bust my
8:21
Speaker 5: ass to be able to get there. But that manifested,
8:26
Speaker 5: I will tell you that the middle class has died.
8:28
Speaker 5: Though even I know a lot of people are mad
8:30
Speaker 5: about that quote from Grant Cardon And if he only
8:35
Speaker 5: made X amount of dollars per year, did he want?
8:38
Speaker 2: But the truth is too far?
8:42
Speaker 1: If did he? Though?
8:45
Speaker 4: No, I mean some things you can't say. Some things
8:47
Speaker 4: you can't say. And see that's why I respect it. Okay, Now,
8:51
Speaker 4: if we're gonna be honest, it's I got some energy, right.
8:53
Speaker 6: Sixty four people on YouTube what they want?
9:01
Speaker 5: The truth is, though he was right, because if if
9:08
Speaker 5: it's not just about you, I don't want you to
9:10
Speaker 5: make half a million dollars to go blow it on
9:12
Speaker 5: bloosing Yaga.
9:12
Speaker 1: And Mike and married and all that.
9:15
Speaker 5: Right, But let's say, if you're going to help five
9:17
Speaker 5: people in your family, how much does it cost to
9:20
Speaker 5: help five people in your family and take care of
9:25
Speaker 5: yourself and be debt free. There's a cost. So I
9:27
Speaker 5: want you, guys. One of my favorite exercises of money
9:30
Speaker 5: master the game how much money do you need to
9:35
Speaker 5: retire you and three people that you love and give
9:39
Speaker 5: everyone that you love a soft life. You know, because
9:45
Speaker 5: when I DIY, I don't even want mine to wash
9:46
Speaker 5: some dishes nothing.
9:47
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not. No, I'm not.
9:49
Speaker 3: That's not the part that is. That was like, all right,
9:52
Speaker 3: maybe since I think the word is shamed is what
9:55
Speaker 3: triggered mean personally, like.
9:58
Speaker 1: Being a great marketer? You don't think he did?
10:00
Speaker 3: No, I get now, I get the I get the
10:01
Speaker 3: marketing part of it. I'm just saying, right, if you're
10:04
Speaker 3: in pursuit of that, like everybody has a threshold, right,
10:07
Speaker 3: like when you're saying like, hey, we got to prepare
10:11
Speaker 3: for where we want to go, right, and so sometimes
10:13
Speaker 3: when you're in the grind. I talked about that on
10:16
Speaker 3: I think that was Dream Champs. We were talking about
10:18
Speaker 3: when we're in that survival mode. Yeah, we can have
10:21
Speaker 3: the goal of four hundred thousand, we can have the
10:23
Speaker 3: goal of fifteen million, but I got to work on
10:25
Speaker 3: the day to day. I might be in pursuit of it.
10:28
Speaker 3: Should I feel ashamed that I'm not there yet? I
10:30
Speaker 3: don't think so. Like that, that word I think is
10:33
Speaker 3: what triggered, Like if if you're not there now, great,
10:35
Speaker 3: you might be in pursuit of Yeah, we can't knock
10:38
Speaker 3: the people that's in pursuit of it.
10:40
Speaker 4: You can't. You can't. You can't disrespect people. You can't.
10:45
Speaker 5: I don't think he was saying it to disrespect, but
10:47
Speaker 5: it did cout. That's how you said it.
10:49
Speaker 2: The tone, the tone, the tones.
10:51
Speaker 5: What you say is how you say it, right, So ashamed.
10:55
Speaker 5: I think it's a strong word. Like I personally haven't
10:57
Speaker 5: hit with my personal income goal is ever. I'm mad
11:01
Speaker 5: that I haven't hit it yet. Meta write my check
11:04
Speaker 5: so I can hit it. But I think we have
11:08
Speaker 5: to have realistic goals because like, well, excuse me, unrealistic goals,
11:12
Speaker 5: because the truth is is a person that has hit
11:13
Speaker 5: a realistic goal twenty five times, it's not a good
11:18
Speaker 5: feeling to hit that goal. And I like, fuck, I
11:20
Speaker 5: should have should have acted for more, should have did more,
11:22
Speaker 5: should have pushed for more. I should have been not
11:25
Speaker 5: only going after Meta, but every top one thousand company
11:28
Speaker 5: on Earth at the same.
11:29
Speaker 4: But then, what I also realize is that even like
11:33
Speaker 4: being around billionaires and hanging around people that's extremely wealthy
11:36
Speaker 4: non figures, the goal is never money. Yeah, so the goal.
11:41
Speaker 4: The goal is creating something that is going to change
11:45
Speaker 4: the world. The goal is creating, like you know, that's
11:48
Speaker 4: the goal, right.
11:49
Speaker 2: So even or helping people create something.
11:52
Speaker 4: Yeah, so even the money, I think that, you know,
11:54
Speaker 4: it's not really about money.
11:55
Speaker 2: That's why I wanted to say, what the middle class mindset.
11:58
Speaker 4: It's not necessarily the money, because you can still make
12:01
Speaker 4: a lot of money and still have a middle class mindset. Right,
12:03
Speaker 4: it's liberating yourself from the shackles of the oppression that
12:10
Speaker 4: was put on you from people.
12:14
Speaker 2: And it was well, it depends in New York how
12:19
Speaker 2: much does it cost?
12:20
Speaker 4: Well first before so for me personally, right before I
12:24
Speaker 4: had any money, I was already liberated. I ain't have
12:27
Speaker 4: no money, and I was I was already on that
12:29
Speaker 4: type of time. I never had a real I was
12:31
Speaker 4: always waking up whenever I wanted, I was always doing
12:34
Speaker 4: I was.
12:34
Speaker 2: I went to Asia with for thirty days.
12:36
Speaker 4: I wasn't rich when I did that, And it's like
12:38
Speaker 4: people were saying that at that time, like I went
12:41
Speaker 4: to Asia. We went to Asia five years ago for
12:44
Speaker 4: thirty days with a round trip plane ticket and two
12:47
Speaker 4: nights in a hotel with no plan. We wingd it.
12:49
Speaker 4: We went to five different countries and people are like, well,
12:51
Speaker 4: why would you going to do that? You got two
12:53
Speaker 4: types of people in this world. You got one type
12:55
Speaker 4: of people that say why and the other type that
12:57
Speaker 4: say why not. So they say like, why you're gonna
13:01
Speaker 4: do it? Well, why not? Because I'm gonna die one
13:03
Speaker 4: day and if I don't do it, then I'm never
13:05
Speaker 4: gonna have an opportunity to do it. So instead of
13:09
Speaker 4: asking me why I'm going to do it, ask yourself
13:12
Speaker 4: while you're not going to do it. So that doesn't
13:15
Speaker 4: really take money to kind of have that first money
13:18
Speaker 4: mine makes money. Money don't make money, doesn't make the person.
13:24
Speaker 4: Your mind is the most important thing period. Once you
13:27
Speaker 4: get your mind right, then the money's just gonna come
13:29
Speaker 4: flowing because now you're an abundance mindset and you're attracting it.
13:34
Speaker 4: You're attracting it. But what you're doing with these negative
13:37
Speaker 4: thoughts and these limiting thoughts is that you're actually blocking it.
13:40
Speaker 4: So it's extremely it's extremely important for people to understand
13:43
Speaker 4: that because I feel like a lot of times people
13:46
Speaker 4: don't fully understand how their mind is so powerful and
13:53
Speaker 4: how and even the things that you tell your children
13:54
Speaker 4: just be careful how you speak to your children, because
13:56
Speaker 4: it's like you're you're already instilling fear. You're already instilling
14:01
Speaker 4: different things in them that you might not even be
14:04
Speaker 4: aware of. And it's like they're already growing up with
14:07
Speaker 4: limitations and fear at ten years old.
14:09
Speaker 2: At eight years.
14:10
Speaker 1: Old, yep, it was a interesting thought exercise.
14:14
Speaker 5: Yeah, if you want to chat, if you had to
14:16
Speaker 5: make two million dollars in three months right out, at
14:20
Speaker 5: what price point would you sell your products? How many
14:22
Speaker 5: do you need to sell? And what's your plan to
14:24
Speaker 5: get there? One of my favorite things to do is
14:27
Speaker 5: reverse engineer how do you get from this point? And
14:31
Speaker 5: what are the steps you need to take to get
14:33
Speaker 5: back there? For me personally, when I was an investing
14:36
Speaker 5: I was watching CNBC like crazy, and it was Maria
14:38
Speaker 5: part of Romo Santinelli and everybody back in the day, right,
14:42
Speaker 5: And I'm like, if they would just give the prices
14:46
Speaker 5: and fundamentals, right. So that's when I started working on
14:51
Speaker 5: the formulation that became the crystal Ball. So I thought
14:55
Speaker 5: you should be able to like know the fundamentals of
14:56
Speaker 5: a company and give the price and like less than
14:59
Speaker 5: thirty seconds, that's right, so everyone in chat, two million dollars,
15:04
Speaker 5: three months, what is your formulation? But it all started
15:07
Speaker 5: with the problem when I was watching TEENDC in two
15:10
Speaker 5: thousand and eight, the information wasn't that clear. And here
15:13
Speaker 5: we are today in twenty twenty two, twenty twenty three,
15:16
Speaker 5: doing this for you guys, for free at scale right.
15:19
Speaker 5: Shout out to y'all. But whatever you put into your
15:22
Speaker 5: mind eventually, with Madame and for my Christians, I keep
15:25
Speaker 5: saying it, how can you be a child of God
15:28
Speaker 5: and be afraid to put your ideas, proclamations, products and
15:32
Speaker 5: services out into the world and serve him?
15:35
Speaker 1: And He made the Moon Mountain.
15:36
Speaker 5: Stars, grasshopp Man, go get that shit this year?
15:41
Speaker 1: Two million dollars and three months? What's your plan?
15:44
Speaker 2: Yeah? You know what changed my life? Is the last
15:46
Speaker 2: thing I'll say about this. You know what changed my life?
15:49
Speaker 4: Because even in social media, I always tell this story,
15:51
Speaker 4: I want to do this eight years ago.
15:53
Speaker 2: What we're doing now, I wanted to do it eight
15:55
Speaker 2: years ago.
15:57
Speaker 4: But you know, it's fear, is self doubt, it's thinking, like,
16:00
Speaker 4: you know, what will people think of me? I have
16:03
Speaker 4: five hundred followers and a private I had a private
16:05
Speaker 4: page with five hundred followers. This no, this is just
16:08
Speaker 4: this is just reality. Yeah, but you know what, you
16:11
Speaker 4: know what, how many years ago is this? This when
16:15
Speaker 4: when we started? Yeah, when you have five hundred followers,
16:18
Speaker 4: that was like six That was like six years ago.
16:20
Speaker 1: Life could change in half a decade, yo.
16:23
Speaker 2: Like it was like six years ago.
16:24
Speaker 4: But you know what, I realized, I had an epiphany
16:27
Speaker 4: that I'm going to die. Once you embrace death, you're
16:31
Speaker 4: not You're not afraid to lift. I would say that again,
16:33
Speaker 4: Once you embrace death, you're not afraid to live because
16:36
Speaker 4: you realize that we're all gonna die one day, and ultimately,
16:40
Speaker 4: somebody's opinion of you doesn't matter. What people think of you,
16:44
Speaker 4: don't matter. What people are going to say about you,
16:46
Speaker 4: doesn't matter, because it's like it's a very short period
16:49
Speaker 4: of time that we have on this earth, so you
16:51
Speaker 4: might as well just make the most of it. Because
16:53
Speaker 4: what's the worst that could happen? The worst that could happen.
16:56
Speaker 4: It just doesn't work out. But it's like if you
16:58
Speaker 4: never tried, or if you never really went for it,
17:01
Speaker 4: now you gotta live with regret, and regret is much
17:04
Speaker 4: harder to live with than failure. You can live with
17:06
Speaker 4: failure it didn't work. People fail all the time, But
17:09
Speaker 4: to live with regret is much harder to deal with
17:12
Speaker 4: because you never know what's gonna happen. So nobody wants
17:15
Speaker 4: to be on their deathbed when they're seventy years old,
17:17
Speaker 4: eighty years old, ninety whatever, and it's like, damn, I
17:20
Speaker 4: wasted my whole life. I really didn't do anything because
17:23
Speaker 4: I was afraid of what my friend would have wrote
17:26
Speaker 4: on Instagram.
17:27
Speaker 7: An illegal alien from Guatemala charged with raping a child
17:31
Speaker 7: in Massachusetts. An MS thirteen gang member from El Salvador
17:35
Speaker 7: accused of murdering a Texas man of Venezuelan charged with
17:39
Speaker 7: filming and selling child pornography in Michigan. These are just
17:43
Speaker 7: some of the heinous migrant criminals caught because of President
17:47
Speaker 7: Donald J. Trump's leadership. I'm Christine Noman, the United States
17:50
Speaker 7: Secretary of Homeland Security. Under President Trump, attempted illegal border
17:55
Speaker 7: crossings are at the lowest levels ever recorded, and over

18:02
Speaker 7: you are here illegally, your next you will be fine
18:06
Speaker 7: nearly one thousand dollars a day, imprisoned and deported, you
18:10
Speaker 7: will never return. But if you register using our CBP
18:13
Speaker 7: home app and leave now, you could be allowed to
18:16
Speaker 7: return legally. Do what's right. Leave now. Under President Trump
