When I was poor I started making decisions as if I was middle class.

I started budgeting my money, looking at houses & cars, even test driving as if I could afford it

I changed the habits I was taught that made my family poor & what do you know..

I moved into the middle class

When I got into the middle class

I started making decisions & carrying myself as if I were upper middle class / a 1%er

I changed the habits that keep people at the bottom of middle class

Hyper consumption
Consumer debt (CARS + credit cards)
Mindless entertainment
Etc

It’s all starts with a mindset

You’re either taught it, or you develop it later on it life.

You have to develop the ability to delay gratification

You don’t plant the seed and get the shade at the same time

“Both poverty and riches are the offspring of thought”

If you have an extra $1,000 in you pocket

99% of everyone will do 1 of 2 things

1. Save it (20% of people)
2. Spend it (79% of people)

You know what the other 1% will do

Find a way for that $1,000 to make them more money

(My style of doing this is buying products to resell)

What is instant gratification in a real world situation

I take my extra $1,000
Buy a trip ticket to Miami ($350)
Get a hotel for 2 nights ($230)
A pair of shoes ($100)

I have $320 to party and club

My Instagram and Snapchat would be lit this weekend

Lots of dope memories

Side note

I’ve done this plenty of times, but it wasn’t major cities that I was flying to it was different countries

I’ve been to more countries than states.

Believe me it’s a good time.

But if I would’ve waited till after I had side hustle money, I could’ve did it bigger

This is how you can take that $1,000

& make a move

Invest $1,000 in selling products
100 units x $10
Retail Price $55

$55 x 100 units = $5,500
- cost
$4,500 Profit

Keep in mind you’ll need money for marketing, let’s say you spend $800 to move 100 units

$3700 profit

I’ve trained my mind to think about $ like this

$1,000

Poor mindset = Spend it
Low middle = Spend it
Middle = Save it
Upper middle = Invest in stock market, mutual funds, index funds

Top middle - Wealthy = Produce something that will bring you more income

Buy/create assets

This is what your $1,000 becomes after 1 year

Poor= $0
Low middle = $0
Middle = $1,000
Upper middle = $1,400

Top middle - Wealthy = $20k +

How did it become 20k +

If the profits are $3,700

You reinvest back into the business, the returns speed up

Marketing $, more products

That’s just the beginner step

Sell a product
Most people understand that concept after reading this thread

What’s next

Selling a service or information

Learn how to do things for people that benefit them, especially businesses because they have the money to pay you.

The beauty of the Internet is that you can move from one social economic class to the next in a matter of months.

The faster you change your mindset the quicker you can climb.

You can go from making $30,000 per year to $300,000 the next year, there is no limit or cap

Making $300,000 per year

= $25,000 / month

Go to Miami and spend that same $1,000 that your friend spent

The difference is you are making nearly $1,000 per day and he/she happened to come across that $1,000

Enjoy your life and have fun but set yourself up for success first
