Million-Dollar Habits

Welcome to Million Dollar Habits. If you're listening to this Audible original, that means you want to create a wealthy, flourishing life. You're not interested in just getting by and barely making ends meet. You want to create real prosperity. This means you want to significantly increase your income. You want to own valuable assets, including a business, real estate, investments, vehicles, fine art, and more. You want your net worth to include a whole lot of zeros. You want to give back to your community in a major way, whether that's funding a charity or donating to a progressive political campaign. You want a life that is financially rich and emotionally rich too, with beautiful relationships, experiences, vacations, making memories with the people you love. You want it all. And you want generational wealth, the kind of wealth that changes not just your life, but your children's lives and their children's lives. Friend, you are in the right place because this audio is all about how to build the daily habits that lead to a milli in the bank. We're going to begin with a dedication. Whether you are listening to this audio on January 1st or July 23rd or any date of the year, let today be day one. This is day one of your journey to greater prosperity. Let's start day one with power and purpose. I invite you to get settled in, sit comfortably, or even lie down if you want to. Exhale, let your shoulders get soft, heavy, and relaxed. Close your eyes. Once your eyes are closed, take a few more deep breaths. Let's begin by taking a moment to remember our ancestors. Think of one ancestor that you love, your grandma, your great aunt, your mom. In your mind, see that person. If you can't think of anyone from your immediate family, you can visualize a hero from history, someone you admire who came before you, someone who lived, worked, and fought to build a better world. Visualize an ancestor who paved the way so that you could have the freedom to get educated, run your own business, open your own bank account, have your own money, and do all the things you want to do. See this ancestor or hero in your mind. Thank them. And then, either silently or out loud, tell that person, I will make you proud. Watch me. You just watched me this year. I will continue the work that you started. I will be your legacy in motion. Keep your eyes closed. Take another breath. And then, this time, in your mind's eye, see if you can visualize a young person. Maybe it's your child, or your children, or grandchildren, your niece, cousin, your younger sibling, or your best friend's kid. See that young person in your mind. And then, either silently or out loud, tell that young person, I will build a better world for you. One day, when it's your turn to go out into the world to make money and build wealth, I will make sure that you have freedoms and opportunities that I never had. See that young person in your mind. Tell them, I will unlock doors for you. I will pave the way for you. Take another breath, and open your eyes. Doesn't it feel so powerful to dedicate this work to your ancestors and to the next generation, too? It hits differently, doesn't it? Here's the thing. Making more money is never really about the money. It's about the people you love, and the causes you care about. It's about having more options in life. It's about having space, peace, rest, and joy. And it's about leaving the world in better condition than we found it. So, as you work on generating more money, dedicate this work to your ancestors. Make them proud. Dedicate this work to the young folks. Be a role model, and dedicate this work to yourself, to you, becoming the wealthy, thriving badass that you are meant to be. Look, it takes effort to become a millionaire. It doesn't have to be a horrible grind, and you don't have to sacrifice your health or family to do it. But it does require commitment and follow-through, and you gotta put in the work to achieve such a large financial goal. I'd be lying if I said otherwise. Be prepared to do the work, and dedicate this work to someone that you care about.
