What's Getting in Your Way?

So you have a goal in mind, something that you’re really passionate about. It burns in you like fire, a desire so strong it’s ready to burst out of your chest. You know you are being guided down this path because God has destined you for greatness. You know it was the voice of God rather than your burning desires because you know you want it to be true. It has to be true! You have to be destined for something more. Something beyond the mundane existence in our capitalist hellscape. There is something special in you. You know it. You feel it.

So why aren’t you there yet? What got in the way?

I should forewarn you now. Reading this book requires a level of toughness from the reader. I’m going to drop some truths that some people are not ready to hear, who are too sensitive to the truth, who would rather be validated in their emotions like a woman. This is not a book for the weak. Dare I say… some of the truth bombs in this book may … trigger you? 

Before I get onto some hard-hitting truths, let me make a list of things you may think are getting in your way, but are actually debunkable:

Business costs Caring for children or relatives  Cost of higher education Excessive current working hours Exhaustion and burnout Fierce competition Financial obligations Genetics

Lack of access to higher education Lack of access to resources Lack of natural talent Learning disabilities Little customer demand Market saturation No degree No high school diploma

No prior experience Older age Physical disabilities Pyramid business models Racism Sexism Socio-economic status Start-up costs

I bet you can identify with some of these excuses like a liberal, but I’m here to tell you that none of these things are relevant to success. So here it goes, get ready to swallow this big pill.

Studies4 prove that the main reason 99.9% of us are not millionaires is because of one single thing that is getting in their way. One single factor between you in the position you and 99.9% of people are in right now and the ultra-wealthy. One thing. This is going to blow your mindset!

Are you ready to hear it? Because any man worth his salt will blame everything on someone or something else as a way to lie to themselves. It’s easy to blame women, liberals and even maybe God Himself for why you are personally not rich beyond imagination. Some people would say it’s the “system” that gets in the way, that success is simply beyond the reach of the ordinary white man with over-ambitious dreams. Perhaps you are blaming all of these things right now. You are pointing outwards to the world, upwards to God and downwards to the enemy. I’m going to need you to take a second, swallow your masculine pride and take that finger and put it towards your chest.

No more trigger warnings because this book is for tough, ambitious and courageous future millionaires. So here it goes…

The one thing that is getting in your way is you! Yes, you! Your mindset! The one single thing that makes the difference between being ordinary and getting by and being famous and successful- mindset. Trust me, bro.

So let’s define what we mean by mindset. Simply put- it is your pattern of thinking. Most of us have poor thinking and therefore a poor mindset. This leads to action and real outcomes. 

The formula is simple: Think poor = act poor = be poor. 

A poor mindset is believing that the world has set up obstacles that are impossible to overcome. So you give up and stay poor. This is weak thinking and therefore a weak mindset. A poor mindset is someone who thinks there are limits to their abilities, that they cannot achieve what they dream and that they are neither special or exceptional.

This is how most of us think. You may not believe that you have a poor mindset, but the world has ways of tricking you into thinking this way. Sometimes such simple, everyday words can hold the power of a curse and like all good curses, you don’t even know you have been poisoned until it’s too late. One of the most common toxic words you hear may be “unrealistic,” as if your own version of reality is invalid. This can set you down a spiral of doubt, which completely destroys any potential of a success mindset. We will discuss how to deal and overcome doubt later in this book. I gotcha, bro!

Other words and phrases that may be harming you include: laughable, infeasible, financial loss, idiotic, irrational, foolish, risky, cringe… and so on.

These are words you have no doubt heard many times in your life, most likely from your wife, family and what friends you somehow still have left hanging around. These small words are the death of a thousand cuts. We need to learn to not let our mindset get triggered by negativity, by doubt, judgement or by simple questions. We need to develop mental toughness, that should be strengthened every single day in order to really have an impenetrable success mindset!

As a life/business coach, it is my job to receive lots of money from you and teach you that nothing but absolute perfection is sufficient for success. This is the level you should aim for. This is why 99.9% of people fail their financial freedom goals. Of course you, reader, are the exception as the Lord has told you. You have what it takes to truly understand the grind in developing a true and pure success mindset.

A success mindset is, of course, the opposite of a poor mindset and goes against the grain of how the overwhelming majority of people think. A success mindset ignores negativity, even if it means ignoring reality itself. A success mindset is focused, undistracted by what others think (while paradoxically also wanting to prove himself to others that he is superior) and determined to reach his goals by any means necessary. No matter what challenges are thrown his way, any man with a true optimal success mindset will overcome them all. In fact, the more challenges face, the stronger the success mindset becomes and of course, the stronger the success mindset, the closer financial freedom becomes a reality.

However, a success mindset doesn’t come naturally in this world of negativity, mainly because it isn’t natural anyway, but we can overcome that too. So we need to focus and get our minds pumping. We need to understand what it takes to work on our success mindset so we can work the grind and achieve our goals.
