Reading Exercise #30: The 50 billion dollar man


This is you! You stand around and watch all the opportunities go by. You sit there, you sit there, you sit there.

"Oh, maybe the next one, maybe the next one, maybe the next one. Oh, no, no! I'm tired now. Maybe the next one, maybe the next one."

And there comes somebody like me, who jumps on the fucker and eats it!

"Maybe the next one!"

Who in this room is that male lion? Once you become fearless, life becomes limitless! The difference between me and everybody in this room is I have no fear of anything! Not physically, not mentally, not emotionally, psychologically, whatever fucking adjective you want to use—or maybe I've thrown a few adverbs. I have no fear!

We take too much time procrastinating. We're worried about what other people think. We're trying to fit in and I could go through a whole litany of bullshit. Now that is bullshit, it's not true. Litany of stuff why you are where you are because you just didn't do it. You don't want to make a mistake.

You got a mortgage, you got 2 ex-wives, you got a 15-year old daughter who is pregnant. I can go on, and on, and on, and on! But the bottom line is: if you, 15 years ago, you just had done it, 10 years ago if you just had done it, 5 years ago if you just had done it, 6 fucking months ago if you just had done it, you'd probably wouldn't be in the position you're in now!

So I'm saying, no matter what your age is, it's still time to just go out and do it!

You want to take the easy way out because you think life is a journey. How good is the fucking journey? You tell me!

Most people in this room and most people listening on YouTube have to come to the realization, as sad as it is, that you've urinated your entire life. Very simple! That's it!

If you just want to be a happy, sloppy housewife from Dundee, or a happy, sloppy bimbo from Toronto, or a happy sloppy guy who goes to the Little League Games and bangs to Arizona, then that's ok.

But [if you want to create massive wealth...] if you want to create some fucking money...

And money is not everything. But if you don't think money can't buy happiness, you don't know where to shop! If you don't think money can buy happiness, you don't know where to shop!

You can get money and then go save the world! You can get money and then go save the forests in Brazil! You make money and go save global warming! I mean, you can save kids in Africa! But without money, you can't save a thing! Don't you understand? Until you make some shekels, until you make some coin, you can't help anybody!

Make 2 lists. One list, your goals—intermediate, short-term, long-term goals, both in personal and business. Then you put another list together and you say who you met with from Sunday midnight until Saturday midnight, for one week, who you talked to, or who you met with. And you put the list together.

Now let's say there's 50 people on this list. Now you put a number by every person that you e-mailed, skyped, tweeted, linkedin, and which one of your goals on this other side of the paper that have anything to do with it.

You will be staggered, stunned!

Show me your friends and I will show you your future!
