The pyramid of wealth this is a topic when you start talking about money a lot of people get very offended for some reason they don’t like talking about money it’s almost taboo when you start talking about how much money people make it’s something people keep behind closed doors and as a kid you’re told it’s rude to ask someone how much money they have or how
Much money they make i’m not sure why this is why we are so secretive about money and why we are so afraid to talk about it but i want to give you guys a very valuable lesson here on the pyramid of wealth because your idea in life is or your plan in life is to eventually make it to above where you were born the truth is there’s nothing you can do about where you
Started you may have started in the comfort zone you may have started in the zone where you’re just surviving or you may have started off in a family that’s in debt there’s nothing you can do about that but you can climb the pyramid of wealth by following plans and by doing things to improve your situation so unfortunately life is not fair and many people start
Off in the area of comfort or the area of a family that’s thriving or community that’s thriving while some of us start off in the zone of surviving or being in debt and there’s nothing we can do about that but we can definitely climb out of that class and we can rise above and climb the pyramid here so the way it breaks down is this you have different levels this
Is the $0 line right here okay unfortunately many of us fall below that $0 line you don’t have a penny in fact you owe money to people you have you are in debt to other people every dollar you’re earning is going to someone else because you’re not saving any money you’re in debt to other people unfortunately most people are in the zone of just barely surviving so
You’re one expense away from being in debt or you’re one bad event from being knocked on your ass or you’re already in debt and you’ve been knocked down and you owe money to other people and then a smaller amount of us are in that comfort zone we are not by any means free you’re not off going on vacation you’re not traveling the world you’re working a lot you’re
Working hard but you’re comfortable so you’re not by any means somebody who is you know doing what you want to be doing in your life you’re kind of still duck in a comfort zone but it’s not a zone that you’re that you’re necessarily happy and you’re just kind of present in that zone then you have this zone here the three zones here you’re either thriving then
You reach the freedom level and then the level of being wealthy most of us desire to enter this level of wealth we want to climb the pyramid of wealth and become someone who is either thriving someone who is free you’re free to do whatever you want in your life you’re able to travel you’re able to do what you want with your time you don’t have to follow someone
Else’s schedule and then of course the wealthiest of all those are the people that really don’t even have to work pay more they could just sit back and do whatever they really want to do in life they want to they want to kick back and do nothing and you know travel the world for a year and do whatever they want they are able to do that because they’ve built so
Much wealth and accumulated so much wealth that they own their life at that point and they don’t have to do anything they don’t want to do while the further down you get there’s more that you have to do that you don’t want to do the reason that some people end up on top here is because they’re working smarter okay so i know everyone out there has told you if you
Work hard you’re going to be successful that’s not true that’s not true if you work hard you might make it to the comfort zone if you work hard every single day if you work overtime at your job and your grind day in and day out you might be lucky to make it to the comfort zone where you’re still working your ass off you’re not making a ton of money but you’re not
In debt and you’re not just surviving you’re comfortable so if something came along if some expense came along you’d be ok you’re certainly not free you’re certainly not thriving and you’re not wealthy either so if you’re looking to make it to that comfort zone then you just need to work hard you got to put the hours in you have to educate yourself and you have
To be a hard worker as part of the working class there’s a reason the middle class it’s called the working class because they are the hardest workers how do you get above the level of comfort you need to start thinking you need to be a smarter worker not a harder worker you have to create ideas so the way it works is this the people at the top the rich people
The ceos the leaders of the world they’re creating ideas while the working class is building the ideas so if you want to be someone at the top if you want to be wealthy if you want to be free and in control your life you need to start creating ideas instead of building ideas now why are the people at the top making more money it’s because there are less of them
Out there there are less people out there who are creating ideas and far more people building ideas this comes down to supply and demand when there’s a large supply of hard workers they’re not going to pay them very much money because they’re easy to replace but when there’s a high demand for a smart worker who creates ideas there’s going to be a much higher price
Paid for that person’s ideas and as far as what you pay that person to do their work so you need to make yourself be in demand you can’t be part of the supply you can’t be part of the supply of these hard-working individuals out there who are just barely surviving or just in the comfort zone where you know they’re not having a great life but you know they’re not
Struggling either you need to start creating ideas you need to start thinking outside the box everyone is down here in this level everyone you know for the most part is probably down here in this level not a lot of people break above the comfort zone very few people do in fact and the unfortunate truth is you generally become what you surround yourself with if
You surround yourself with five millionaires you’re probably going to become the six that you surround yourself with five broke people you’re probably going to become the sixth broke person so you can’t control where you’re born and what level of the pyramid you end up in when you’re born but you can control the people you listen to and the people you follow so
If you want to become the sixth millionaire you need to start following millionaires and surrounding yourself with influential people and learning how to climb the pyramid of wealth to eventually get to a point where you yourself are thriving i know a lot of people would use this type of video to then go here’s my millionaire mastermind course but that’s not me
Guys i’m just out here trying to inspire you guys and this is stuff that really helped me along the way decide to leave the working class that’s what i did before i did youtube before i was full-time out here talking to you guys and inspiring people i was part of the working class and the reason people in the working class are so miserable or many of them are
Is because it’s not creative work you’re a worker bee you are just building the ideas that other people came up with and you’re being paid a small amount of money in order to do that you’re being paid in some cases just enough to survive and if your skill isn’t high enough demand you’re paid just enough to be in that comfort zone you need to start doing things
That no one else is doing if you want to break out of this zone that you’re in and the reason people at the top tend to be happier it’s because they’re creating you need to be creating and using your mind a lot of people in the in the comfort zone a lot of people in the working class they don’t have to think very much their jobs are very monotonous you do the
Same thing day in and day out you’re doing things that nobody at the top wants to do so they push it to the bottom and have the working class to it and i hope you guys aren’t insulted by this i’m in no way saying any person on this pyramid is better than the others i just want you to understand there’s a set method of pushing up and getting above the the comfort
Zone and i want you guys to just start thinking about creating ideas instead of just building ideas and building someone else’s dream anyways guys that’s all i got for this video this is the pyramid of wealth if you enjoyed this video please drop a like and if you are new to my channel please consider subscribing to be notified of any future uploads and as always
