The One Arrogant Remark That Exposed the Biggest Money Lie

Someone at a dinner party said something so confidently I almost choked on my drink, and it revealed a mindset that keeps more people broke than any bad business idea ever could.

I attended this dinner party, by a friend, his name is Evgeny, and then at the dinner party, there was another friend of mine, well, not really a friend of mine, I kind of hated that guy, to be honest.

He was very, what’s the word? Arrogant? Because he had a good job, like a good paying job, and it was considered a good paid job in our hometown, but he was extra arrogant, like, I just don’t like people like that.

Like, I know I have an arrogant persona when I come and appear in these webinars, but you have to remember, this is a persona. Like, in my real life, I tried to keep a low profile.

And so, anyway, I’m at this dinner party, and at that time, we’re already making a good $12,000 to $15,000 a month, which is far beyond what anyone at that party is making.

And we started talking about entrepreneurship, because Evgeny, my friend, he’s an entrepreneur. He has a business where he’s, like, driving tourists around, and he’s like, a tour guide kind of business, and obviously I had a business.

And we got chatting with this Dimitri guy, and he’s like, in this actual word for word, what he said, “I’d rather be healthy than rich”. And, I let this sink in. And then I thought to myself, “damn it, why would you say something so stupid?

Who said you have to pick?” That was my answer to him. Like, who said you needed to pick between being rich and being healthy, or being rich and being happy, or being rich and having a great relationship with your spouse? Like, who said you’re supposed to pick one?

[2:45]
You see, that’s a mindset issue, that’s the kind of stuff that really keeps someone from making really big money. Because internally, making big money means giving up your health.

And if your health is important to you, which obviously it is, you’re not going to go make big money, you’ll sabotage it every single time.

Now, Dimitri just voiced something that a lot of people actually do think, even if they don’t say it out loud, they have an internal programming as a result of something that they’ve seen occur in their life.

For example, they’ve seen a family member trying to build a business, like a heavy business, like carpet cleaning or plumbing or construction, and they worked themselves to death because they didn’t have good systems in place. And eventually got injured and lost their health.

And so, in pursuit of the money, they sacrificed their health, or they sacrificed their marriage, or they sacrificed the sort of, like parent they’ve become, they became really grumpy, always working, not really involved in the lives of their kids.

[3:54]
Well, you see, that’s one example of somebody who didn’t master systems! That doesn’t actually mean that you have to kind of choose either good health or good income, but our mind is great at pattern creation, even when patterns are not there, it actually creates patterns where patterns do not exist.

And as a result, it could have concluded that, “oh! Yeah, I don’t want that. I don’t want to have to give up my health to build a business”. Or “building a business is not for me!” Bam! Conclusion was made, and as a result, every decision, every conclusion from that point in that context, is now driven by that one thing.

Well, you see, that’s a problem! Because if you want to build a business, or if you want to make more money, that will be in the way. That’s like putting a giant stick into your wheel as you’re trying to pedal your bike, okay? Not a joke, not a joke at all!
