So listen to me, if you want to build an incredible life, it's not a matter of what you do today, tomorrow or the day after. It is a culmination of the daily habits that you do for years. So in today's video, I'm going to run through the five daily habits that made me a multi-millionaire by the age of 21.
And if you implement all five of these into your life, I know that you are going to achieve incredible things.
So the 1st daily habit was setting daily challenges to speak to new people. And here's what I mean. When I was 14 or 15, and I was either taking the public bus or the tube to school, I would actually set a challenge to myself to give a compliment every single day to just one stranger. And if anyone's ever been in London, the tube is not a very friendly place, especially in the morning.
In the morning, everyone in the tube does not look like a very happy camper. And I knew that whatever I wanted to do in life, and fully enough, at the age of 14, 15, 16, I actually thought that I was going to become a real estate agent, learn about the real estate game, and then eventually get into property development in my late 20s, turns out that I went for a very completely different path, creating online bussinesses, software companies. And things that are very unrelated to what I had, in my mind and in my vision.Yet all of the principles still applied.
I knew that there are certain skills in life that if you learn, no matter what you do, it's going to pay dividends. And being able to go up to a random stranger, and just give them a compliment. I don't care if you're a real estate agent. I don't care if you have software companies like me. I don't care if you become a youtuber or whatever it is, these are skills that will pay dividends for the rest of your life. Being able to break the ice with someone, being able to network with someone, being able to understand someone's body language.
You know, another thing that I used to do when I was younger and living in London is would force myself every single day to go up to three girls and just say "Hello". No pressure on what it is that I said, or getting their number or anything like that, but just say "hi" and introduce yourself. And you konw what, maybe they're busy. A rejection and failure helped me to then go on and start my 1st business, which was actually an advertising agency. I had that business for six years, and it will made me my 1st few million dollars that I was then able to then go on and multiply build my wealth with, and also build my other companies with. So whatever social challenge you set for yourself tomorrow, just set something.
I mean, what is the worst that could happen? If you go up and you just compliment someone? I mean, imagine the blasphemy. How dare you go up and just give someone a compliment? You konw, you should really be scared.
1、设定每天和陌生人讲话的挑战(setting daily challenges to speak to new people)
下次试试在乘坐网约车的时候和司机聊聊天,坚持训练一到两年,直到你可以很自信地和任何人聊天。
不是说你一定要从内向变成外向,外向的人才会成功,而是要刻意培养和别人沟通的能力,因为这种能力非常重要。
2、永远选对业务(Choosing the right vehicle)
你要根据你的处境、你的技能、你的爱好来选择当前该做的业务。
知道自己现在处于什么阶段,并且据此选择正确的业务。
3、做生产者而不是消费者(Creating rather than consuming)
我宁愿自己去踢一场球,而不是熬夜看一场球赛;我宁愿自己制作内容,而不是不断地刷抖音。
实际上,问题是你要知道什么对你有价值。我建议你经常琢磨 “如何成为生产者,而不是消费者”。
4、不要把任何人放在象牙塔上(Never put people on a pedestal)
大家都是普通人,别人能做得到,你也一样能做得到。
但是你需要坚持,坚持你的信念,坚持你对未来的愿景。
不要操之过急,总想着一个夏天就要做出什么成绩,试试把时间拉长,五年甚至十年,一步一个脚印去做,慢慢提升,逐步完善。
5、考虑到连锁反应导致的后果(Thinking in 2nd order consequences)
就好像下象棋一样,你不仅要考虑后面一两步的后果,经常还要考虑到后面第六、七步的后果。这是一个很好的思维习惯,可以帮助你做出更好的决策。
例如,你现在想买一台电视机,买了之后就想要好好利用它,因此你必须看电视,为了看电视,你不得不开通会员,刷电视剧......
还有,刷抖音的人最早只是想它不过是一个 App 而已,有什么可怕的,可是他们没有想到有一天他们会沉迷刷抖音,导致他们工作效率变低,甚至无法完成目标。
再举个例子,比如你对一个女孩子死缠烂打,但她拒绝了你,这很伤人对吧,而且会让你显得很廉价。我建议你们不要对女孩死缠烂打的原因,不是因为她拒绝了你,而是因为这会导致你失去自尊。(反过来也一样,女孩子也不要对男孩死缠烂打)
看看镜子中的自己,说 “我心中有理想,我脚下有力量,我有冲劲儿,我无人可挡,没人比我对未来的规划更重要,我最终会和美丽的女王抚养美丽的孩子,没人能打乱我的规划”(I am a man who's on a mission, who's on a purpose, who has drive, and no one's going to stop me, no one is more important than the vision for the version of myself that will eventually raise beautiful kids with a beautiful queen, and no one's going to knock me off that path)
所以,这个让你低迷、或者拒绝你的女孩不是重点,重点是你的这种性格、你的这些特质,让你成为那种发一大堆话,人家还不回你的人。每小时问候,时刻关注她,这一个女孩算什么?重点是连锁反应的后果:你感到羞愧,你觉得自己可能有心理疾病,带着这样的心理包袱,作为男人很难出去实现梦想,去执行你的规划。这样去考虑生活中的一切,你要了解事物的后果。
