In today’s economy, “just getting by” won’t cut it. You have to earn well beyond the middle class just to keep your head above water. But how do you do that — especially if you’re starting from zero? In this article, I’ll show you how to hit the ground running…
As I mentioned, earning an average income isn’t going to get you anywhere nowadays. Therefore, you can’t keep doing things the way they’ve always been done.
YOU HAVE TO THINK AND DO THINGS DIFFERENTLY IF YOU WANT TO MAKE SOME REAL CASH.
Some of the things I will talk about are the complete opposite of what you were taught about money.
But, that’s why they work! And in some cases, implementing them works better when you start from zero.
So no more excuses. Let’s get started…
YOU Are a Business
The first thing you have to realize is that you have a business — your life. This mindset is key for the steps below to pay off.
I’m not telling you this to motivate you. I’m telling you this because your commitment is what will pull you through the tough times…
AND, IT DOESN’T GET TOUGHER THAN STARTING FROM ZERO.
That being said, you can change it. Here are the ways to get yourself into a better situation…
Get a Hustle and Become the GOAT
Right now, your number one priority is increasing your income.
That means either:
- Finding a job if you don’t have one.
- Or, making more money at the one you have.
That’s right. I encourage you to not change career paths. Because then, you’re REALLY starting from zero in another place. Instead, find ways you can strengthen your position where you’re at currently.
BECOME INDISPOSABLE AND YOU WILL EARN MORE — ANYWHERE!
You want to make this stream of income as strong as possible. This will put you in a position to start making the moves that create wealth…
Move from Zero with Flows Going Your Way
Next, you are going to add more adjacent streams of capital to the one you just created. These new ventures must coincide with the one you have now.
This is the number one thing that people get wrong about multiple flows of income.
For example, don’t go buy an ice cream parlor if you are a mechanic.
Now, the last step I am going to share with you may ruffle some of your feathers, but hear me out…
STOP SAVING MONEY
Last, you are never going to save money ever again.
LET’S FACE IT. IF YOU ARE STARTING FROM ZERO, THERE IS NOTHING TO SAVE ANYWAYS!
Whatever “extra” comes in — outside of your living expenses — you are going to invest back into yourself, your business, or cash-flowing assets.
This strategy is how you will build, keep, and grow wealth that lasts. And isn’t that what you’re going for?
Everyone Starts from Zero — But “Workers” Stay There
Very few people are born independently wealthy. Even then, an even smaller number of those who are can keep and build the money they’re given.
There are endless cases of ball players and rappers who demonstrate this concept.
You can’t just work hard to have cash anymore. You have to have an entrepreneurial mindset to make it in the new economy.
That’s why I’m showing you how to not just get from zero, but to keep pushing beyond what you thought possible.
Use these strategies to get to the top.
Be Great,
