95% of the gurus are broke.
20% of the people are broke
60% will struggle financially forever.
15% make a good living.
4% can afford to chill
And only…
1% will be rich.
One day, my friend Sergio was in bad financial trouble.
His business was about to go bankrupt.
He was pacing the floor up and down.
At the time, I had a shitty job, I was living from paycheck to paycheck.
I had barely a penny to my name. I’ve read a few books.
Yet, I felt confident enough to give him advice.
“You should try to sell them something different,” I said.
Sergio looked at me.
I looked at him…
For a brief moment, it was like two cowboys standing opposite each other in the final scene of The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, ready to kill each other.
“You never built a business, and now you’re telling me how to solve this. Are you trippin?” Sergio replied.
Sidenote…
Back in the day, we were trippin on paddo’s regularly. I guess it made me who I am today. To give you context, that’s why he mentioned trippin.
I was in shock.
I felt exposed…
Because he was right.
Remember my opening lead in this letter?
4% can afford to chill, and 1% is rich.
That means that 95% of the people you listen to have no clue about running a business, let alone making money.
But there’s hope.
All you need to do from today is ONLY take advice from mentors with a proven track record.
That’s how you’ll thrive in 2024.
The next question is, how do you find them?
This is an easy one.
Proven concepts always help people on a massive scale to have similar results.
In layman’s terms:
- Ask for recommendations.
- Talk to former clients.
- Trust your gut. (Because your intuition is always right.)
That’s how you find mentors who are the real deal.
Now let’s go and get you first in the 4% of the world population who are real chillers.
