Are You Building Your Circles Of Trust?
Sure, I talk about one in my book, where uh mysterious man shows up at my office mind you. I was in the maybe early 20s, maybe late teens. He's got an uh a duffel bag with a million dollars in cash and an invitation to go to Japan, to Tokyo on a private plane. What do you do? I went turns out that the mob was interested in taking over my company, maybe not the best move. Maybe maybe it was an okay movie. And there were several moments of self-doubt. I mean I could have potentially been killed. So there was a lot of that.
The “Silent” Art of Building Great Wealth
The world is predatory. All you got to do is look at nature. Things don't work the way that we always want them to. So making money and I make a lot more now that I get to keep than I did back then because I was burning through hundreds of millions of dollars, is mainly because I don't publicize everything that I do.

Secrets Of Making And Keeping Wealth

Smart Money Management
So you don’t want to always be thinking that you’re poor. I think you did a great thing. When the lady is like that’s 28 so her world, in her reality was 28 dollars is a lot of money.

It’s like risking money in a real estate transaction or the stock market.
Developing Influence And Discipline
But we’re making micro moves to get ourselves in a better position or in a less shitty position depending on where you’re at. Until you can you can achieve freedom and at the end of the day, you’ve got to have an unshakable self-belief as Richard Koch talks about in his book Unreasonable Success and how to achieve it.
On Top of Your Game?
You want to make sure that you are on top of your game when you go into battle in any type and that applies to the business part and that’s so so brilliant that you say that because that’s really true because some days we’re off and if you off take the day off back off don’t go into battle unless you are on and it’s an on the day for you.
The Immense And Intense Power Of Self Belief…
You know I think there’s an old adage that says when the student is ready, the teacher appears. Okay and for me it was really that you know, I had an unshakeable self-belief really for no good reason and I went out there and I was not going to fail. There was nothing that was going to keep me down for very long.
