If I Wanted To Become A Millionaire In 2025, I'd Do This...

If you want to become a millionaire in 2025, forget what school taught you and focus on mastering the five concepts I'll be explaining today. I use these to go from over $30,000 in debt to $10 million in my 20s. And it all started when I learned the concept at 16 years old that completely changed how I looked at money. It's called the wealth equation. This says that you don't get rich by working harder, you get rich by becoming more valuable. That's the wealth equation. And if you want to make more money, you need to focus all of your energy on increasing your value. So how do you do that? Well, you can spend four years and hundreds of thousands of dollars on a degree to get a measly job, or you can pursue self-education and become priceless. One of my mentors, Jim Rohn, said formal education will make you a living and self-education will make you a fortune. And since I was a teenager, I've been relentlessly pursuing knowledge through books, YouTube videos, courses, anything I can get my hands on so that I could develop skills that I could use to make more money. And if you want to get rich, I need you to do the exact same thing. Specifically, if I was you, I would focus on studying two things. First, the mindset of millionaires. I want you to be reading books, watching videos, watching interviews, watching stuff just like this video, and get an understanding of how these people think and see the world. This is going to give you a huge advantage on everybody else because you can get into the mind of a millionaire. Second, start learning an active income skill that you can start making money with ASAP. You shouldn't be out here studying super high level business strategy or tactics like they try to teach you in business school. You should focus entirely on mastering a simple skill that you can charge money for because the top priority for anyone that's just starting in their journey should be to raise their active income. I'm not sure if any of you guys saw this, but I recently took a 17-year-old kid from $38 to building a $10,000 a month business in less than 30 days. And I documented the entire thing here on YouTube. And you know what the first thing that we did was focus on raising his active income. When he came to my house, he had a small mobile detailing operation that he was running back home. And he was able to make a little bit of money here and there. Maybe he made like $200 a month from this thing. But instead of just going right away and starting some massive online business, I helped him go door to door and grow this business to the point where it was making a couple hundred dollars a week. Fast forward, we scaled that business past $1,000 a week with a little bit of advertising and relentlessly going door to door knocking. And this gave us the foundation for us to be able to have a budget to build a real scalable business. Truth is, no matter where you are in the world, I know for a fact that there's some type of physical labor you can do and charge people money for in your city or your neighborhood. Mobile detailing, window washing. I mean, I even had a dude come up to me at the gym the other day saying that he was inspired by the challenge that we just did. And he actually started doing pressure washing. He went up, rented a pressure washer. I think it costs like $20 to rent it. And then he went door to door selling pressure washing services. And this guy is making hundreds of dollars a week from doing this on the side of his nine to five right now. So when I say that your number one priority is to increase your active income, I mean, this is the step that most people skip. And of course, you can just get a standard nine to five job as well, by all means. But the problem with that is that you're not building any skill that you can really scale with. A salary is okay. An hourly pay is okay. But when you have a skill that you can sell, there is no limit to how much you can earn. The limit is only how much you're able to work. We got to the point with the detailing business that we had to turn people away. We had too many jobs to fulfill. And that is where you can get when you start to build some of these active income skill sets. And the cool part is that you can do the same thing virtually. Like when I was much younger, I used to do video editing for people. And I used to charge $20 to $100 per edit on these videos. And again, that's an active income thing. There's nothing passive about it. But because I took the time to learn the skill of video editing, I was able to charge people money for that skill. But in my opinion, nothing beats getting outside and selling a door-to-door. It's not fun. It's not sexy. But it is the equivalent to a sales and marketing MBA. And it will put money in your pocket faster than just about anything else. And I don't know if you guys know this or not, but I've tried it all. Like at the beginning of my journey, I did this in a bunch of different ways. I was doing tech support for people on my city, fixing up their computers. I did photography. I would resell stuff from Goodwill on eBay. I did some video jobs. I was literally doing whatever side hustle I could come up with to put some more active income in my pocket. And even if you're working a nine-to-five, you need to be asking yourself, what else can you do outside of your job to make more money? This, in my opinion, is the key if you ever want to be able to unlock true scale. Because that is only possible through building a real business with leverage. And to do that, you need capital. Most people skip this step and they go straight into trying to start a leverage scalable business, but they never build a solid foundation. And the ultimate foundation is starting to build your self-education, studying millionaires, picking one active income skill, and starting to sell that alongside your main source of income. And this gives you this ability and capital to build something truly scalable. So let's talk about how to do that. So once you saved up around three to 500 of active income from your nine-to-five job or side hustle, what I want you to do is throw all your money towards building a business that can scale with leverage. This means that the business can make money while you're sleeping, and more importantly, it can grow without you. This is the point where everything can start to take off, but only if you do it the right way. For me, I did this by selling products online with a business model called econ. In fact, it's the same exact method I used to take that 17-year-old to his first $10,000 month in under 30 days. And his business is still generating around $1,000 a day. Now, lucky for you, econ is easier than it's ever been thanks to the introduction of AI. For his store, we found the product with AI, built the website with AI, and even made all of our ads 100% with AI. It is absolutely insane. And if you're looking to start an e-commerce business, I've got something for you. You can get a custom store built 100% by my AI software for 100% free at the link in the description. And once you get your store, I'll be giving you an in-depth beginner friendly training program that will take you from zero to your first sale in just three days. This is the same exact strategy we use to take a store from zero to over $1,500 a day in just under a week. And inside of the program, you'll be getting an in-depth case study on exactly how we did that. But here's the best part. Right now, I'm doing a 90-day challenge to see who can earn the most money with my AI com strategy and free store setup. And I'll be giving away $100,000 in cash to the winner of this challenge. And every single week, I'll be giving away small prizes to all the people who get their first sales. Last week, I just gave away $250 to this kid right here. It's 100% free to join. All you got to do is click the link in the description and get your free store today. The challenge is ending soon, so I hope to see you inside of there. Now, once you've got a business that's making some money, taking that leap from your first couple thousand to your first million is simply a matter of time, scaling, and reinvesting back into the company. Back when I built my first e-comm store, I made the biggest mistake of my life by taking that first $100,000 I made and blowing it on careless purchases like a fancy apartment and a flashy lifestyle in Los Angeles. Just a couple years later, I had to move all the way back to my mom's house, and I had racked up over $30,000 in debt and back taxes. This was by far the lowest point of my life, but I learned from my mistakes, and I started another e-commerce business back on my mom's couch. But this time, I decided to do things differently. Not only did I grow that business to over a million dollars in sales in less than a year, but this time, instead of splurging, I reinvested everything back into the company as aggressively as possible. I made the best quality product, I made custom ads, an outstanding website, and the end result was that I was able to generate almost two million dollars with that business and sell that store for a life-changing amount of money just two years later. So what's the secret? The secret is that when you do finally start making money, don't cash out. Double down. That's how you go from that six-figure mark to seven, and from seven to eight. And this is the exact playbook that I followed to get to that level, and if you do the same exact thing, I have no doubts in my mind that you can get there too in just a couple years. At this point, I've seen it happen thousands of times, and the opportunities are so abundant out there. You just have to go after them before it's too late. So thank you guys for watching this video.
