[Music] in New York City right now my hometown in Almo um and I want to make this video with Connor right now uh eight things I realized after making eight figures 10 things I learned after making 10 million 12 after 12 whatever you want to you know call it however you want to dice it I'm making this video right now for you guys um because a lot of things that I feel like especially after you know talking to Q um a few days ago and talking to Raul and then you know doing my own you know growth and and things that nature I feel like there's a lot of things that you guys could benefit from and I'm going to try to condense it all into a few topics so number one people really will think your strategy doesn't work because they've seen it a million times and it's like this can't be at all I've seen a lot of comments on YouTube where people will flat out say yeah you're withholding the real sauce from us or or you're not telling us everything and that's never the case I swear on my life me and I don't know about the other people in terms of in this industry but I know me and I know obviously q and ra I talked to them yesterday um we're giving you everything that we got the reality is it worked for us and it may not work for you and that's okay that that's that's not a bad thing whatsoever the bad thing comes into play where you think you got to over complicate trading and then you're in this cycle of Doom which you know was a video that is on YouTube that's gotten a lot of views which I feel like is one of the best videos on YouTube is because you start trading you get a strategy you try it out for 3 months you feel like it doesn't work you stop trading you start again you find a new strategy and that that's a whole cycle of doing instead of perfecting that strategy and maybe tweaking one or two things U that's one of the the most important things that that I realized is people will think your strategy doesn't work because it doesn't work for them and people will then assume certain things it's like no it works for me and what's crazy is like gold dropped all crazy this week the one week I didn't trade and I went to you know Miami and New York it dropped all the way to 1860 so I'm a little upset but previous week that same strategy made me 40K previous week didn't trade previous week did 25k previous week I think it was 17K that's the video I did on YouTube how I made 17K in 24 hours whatever the case may be like the p&l is great the strategy works great so most importantly condense all the knowledge you have into one strategy and stick with it I don't care if it doesn't work for a year maybe it's the trading plan maybe it's the risk management but the strategy more than likely is working number two do not try to fill your schedule up do more or less you know the same things just highlevel stuff so prime example you know like I said in the day in the life of the millionaire and that the most recent one that I just did um I I'm at fault for uh uh packing my schedule with 30 different things and it was really three or four things that made you know the most you know difference and somebody had commented maybe you had to do that schedule to get to where you are today and that is fair that is 100% Fair um maybe that is that is true um but the reality is right now uh there's only there's only a few things that that pay me and bring me joy right trading running the businesses spending time with my family right like health so working out because you know if I'm not healthy um none of it matters you know um Ty Lopez had mentioned somebody had said a great quote where they said um when you're young you know you use up all of your health to get your wealth you know late night hours you know 5our energy drinks coffee y y like you you waste your health trying to get wealth and then 20 30 years later you spend your wealth trying to get back your health you see people on different diet plans hiring a chef and and and trying different diets and it's like that's the reality so those things in general right trading business family um um nutrition and fitness those are the things that pay me the most and bring me the most fulfillment so that's the four things I'm going to focus on on I had a little stuff in there like you know email this and do this and and call this and it's just like you really can Outsource a lot of your stuff and what people don't know is that if you're making good amount of money whether it's it's you know six figures or even for the five figures some people are making 7,000 a month your life would be a lot easier if you just alleviated you know a little bit of your pressure by getting a virtual assistant from the Philippines um or somewhere across the world where you you may pay them you know 500 600 $700 and that means the world to them like the absolute world to them because you know the currency rate is different um so don't try to fill your schedule up try to you know limit the things that don't bring you the most fulfillment enjoy and that's a lot of people do they procrastinate procrastinate like oh I'm on the charts but you're really not on the charts um and just focus on the things that pay you the most and bring you the most fulfillment number three when you guys make it please go to a place where there's less taxes as soon as possible as soon as possible I obviously went to Puerto Rico um where there's 0% capital gains taxes so anything I make day trading it's it's not taxed at all um and I'm not saying do that per se um I know Dubai um the tax rate was Zero they increased a little bit to 9% but there there's so many places in the world where you can lower your tax rate just by moving there and you got people in California and California has become a show um over the last few years and and they're paying the highest taxes in the world and it's like simply just move to Texas simply just move to Florida I don't want to move to Texas why you don't really have any use right like the cost of living is better your your quality of life may be better you spend less money on on taxes there's not as much traffic as there is in La um and you're talking to me who went who lived in La moved to Texas and moved back to LA right I wasn't in that phase of my life at 24 years old but if you're asking me right now right this second where would I move to if I could choose between LA or Texas it'd be Texas LA or Florida it'd be Florida right like La has my heart because that's where I I I made my first million that's where I grew with with the team but it's not a place that I want to I want to raise my family or or or or live I feel like if you are starting to make money like I there's a guy named uh Jade cap FX shout out to him um I think he made I want to say $588,000 worth of prop firm um with the payouts right from prop firms' been killing all the prop firms out there in the world which I love and he's been looking for he's doing like smart thing for number three he's looking for places to move to lower his tax bracket and he's looking he's looking he Dubai and Rico I am he's looking all around he's like that's what you should do if you're making $500,000 $200,000 in payouts if you simply just go somewhere else that's an extra 100,000 200 300400 $500,000 you're saving or an extra 70,000 you're saving and that extra 70,000 can be used to you know funnel you know start businesses over here and do this and now 3 years from now you made it a lot quicker number four is is is a bit freaky um but I'm going to say it as simple as I can do not focus on new businesses focus on one one thing first master that and then move on and the reason I say It's Tricky is because I don't count a job that sustains the quality of life as that that's still that one thing I don't count that as two things right prime example obviously I was babysitting and trading that's still one thing you know what I mean what I mean by that about my my point is don't try to you know become a day trader and then do real estate at the same time and then start a business you know on on on arts and crafts like that that's three different areas and that was one of my my failures I would say which is the reason why um the swag Academy kind of veed off in 2021 is because I felt like I felt like me and Austin were were trying to do too many different businesses you know before we mastered the one we had yeah we were making you know a lot of money with the swag Academy and changeing lies but we didn't have the business on autopilot yet we didn't have 20 30 people running mean making sure that business is always stable and always good no matter what it's safe and sound and then start the other one we would literally it would Lally just be me and Austin domah ktie Beth that's it and we're just like oh yeah it's just us all right now let's start this business let's start this one let's try to do this one like and we kind of neglected the swag Academy for about two or three months and then it got into a whole frenzy in terms of doing different sales and then you know going back to doing webinars and it was just like stay consistent in one thing and then move on like I said this is a video called the things that I've learned over making the money that I that that I've made focus on the one thing and once you master that and get on autopilot then you can do other things and and right now I feel like I have a lot of things on autopilot I have the lab on autopilot um obviously you guys already know at this point that I left secure the bag but secure the bag was pretty much on autopilot my new prop firm will be on full autopilot um everything I'm doing right now is making sure this is all good then move on to the next thing so when you guys right now have your job and have day trading great but the minute you either make it in day trading or have enough money like saved up then have trading in a business or something like that the prime example I was talking to q and Raul and once they made it they didn't just stick to day trading they started educating because one people started asking them how they do this how they do how you make this much money and they why not get paid for it right and it's the same with me right I had no desire to teach whatsoever until I started posting my results and people were like oh teach me and at the end of it I had like 500 DMS and I had to send 500 free email was like hey this is what I do and I was like you know I should just charge for this and that's why I only charged $200 at first and it was like overflow so once you make it in something it doesn't matter what it is it could be day trading or not day trading once you make it in something you can charge for your knowledge because people would rather pay you somebody they know for your knowledge that took you four or five years to accumulate then read a book and go on Google cuz it's free number five you can't take everyone with you and I want you guys to really really understand that they were not with you shooting in the gym at all 99% % of people out there are just there for the check and they're not loyal at all and I've learned that I've lost a lot of friends that were friends way before I got rich and they're not here anymore um because they started getting entitled they started asking for stuff and then when you say no it's an issue prime example people were asking me left and right when I first were my first million and I made my second and third million that's top you good Connor yeah yeah okay I'm keep continue I'm we keeping that in there U when I mean my my second and third million I ended up giving away 4 ,000 500,000 and then when it kept scaling up I ended up giving away like a million dollars flat out and I talked about this publicly before just the people 40,000 here 30,000 here 20,000 here 10,000 here just to people and and family and friends in need to the point to where the minute you finally say know they don't want to talk they got an issue they think you're too good for them they think you're Hollywood it's like no like gr Cardone say this all the time I'm not a bank the money that I the hard-earned money that I've made for myself yeah I don't mind sharing but the reality is is it's for my family it's for the business it's to grow it's to help and and give back but it's not to just oh all right I'm going to take care of you for the rest of your life and and we haven't talked in the last three four five years you got can't be entitled you have to earn it and people out there should really understand once you make it in trading please keep that in your mind that whether you post about on social media or not people are going to start come out at the Woodworks for you and I suggest you just guard yourself and just take care of your family and protect them um because only you know what you've been through you know those dark days I remember those College days where I skipped those parties and didn't you know participate in in the the fun group activities like maybe there was like let's say there was like 200 of them I maybe went to one and it was like paloa or or Lala I don't know what it was it it was something my school had that everybody went to um was some kind of function but one thing that's it other than that I was studying while everybody was partying only you remember those those days and those nights and once you make it it's still only you number six focus on a few pairs but always level up and I was talking to q and Raul and they're both into indices heavy and I haven't even gotten to indices yet but it's time I stop you know playing in the Min Lees and get and get to the indices because when I say always level up you know you start from the Euro USD that's basically everybody's first pair Euro USD and then you go from your USD to to go a little bit faster GBP USD and USD JPY right you start moving up and then you switch from that to let's do a little bit of gold right let's do maybe add a Bitcoin in there here and there whatever the case may be right and then you move on up to the nas 100s the S&P 500s the us30 is and when I say always level up because I can't trade Euro USD no more I can analyze it almost every day and every week in the lab I'm like analyzing Euro USD to the T I called it to go to 105 for the last 3 weeks flat and it clearly did just that but I didn't trade it why it's is too slow for me um but I trck gold gold is good for me gu is good for me you know u.j is good for me um but keep leveling up as you're trading getting better keep leveling up over and over and over again number seven this may go over a lot of heads but please look the part when you start you know doing what you're doing and and getting bigger and bigger um because it gets you into better rooms right like so prime example I'm not saying go get Iced Out chains and stuff like that what I'm saying is that like take that you know Uber black right I'm obviously I'm in Li limo right now going through New York City I can obviously get a regular rental car I don't I don't want to I want when I get out the car people look at me like oh what does he do they come up to me and say hey what do you do oh I trade I do this I do that now that gets people one to the business but also at the same time it also allows them to potentially learn a lifechanging skill if they put the work in obviously I can't force them to put the work in but at least gets them to click you know livre la.com you know or or go to my YouTube channel to to follow on the the journey and learn for free um and then who knows from now to 3 four 5 years from now their life could be changed right so look the part it gets you in better rooms dress better right I'm not walking around Dorado Beach and pajamas like I'm walking around real real nice so that when people see me they're like oh swagy what's up or if you don't know me hey what do you do I see I've seen you a couple times here what do you do and it it starts these conversations don't I don't care who you are or like what makes you feel comfortable like I wear a dag at home I'm not wearing a doag around Dorado beach in Panella and people may say you're not being yourself I mean I am being myself I'm trying to provide a better life for my family and and the reality is is is I'm trying to keep it all together and and make these new businesses and start these conversations once the conversations are start then I can obviously chill if they come over my crib I can wear the dag and stuff but like people you guys got to be realistic about the world the world is judgmental so don't give them something to judge you on at all like if it's a stranger and or it's a hater cool but if you are trying to make a name for yourself don't give anybody a reason to hate on you don't be blasting M don't don't don't act crazy and then wonder why people aren't not networking with people or climbing the ranks like get yourself in in in better rooms play the part and it'll reward you number eight retire your family members as soon as possible what I mean by that is exactly that you don't got to make a million dollar to retire your family your mom some of you guys as family members are living off of 3,000 a month and if you make $8,000 9,000 a month from Trading yeah and and and you stacked up for 3 four five months at a time yeah I would tell my mom to quit her job because seeing her home happy one gives you the support to start trading but the reality is now you got a little bit of of a pressure on you like a healthy pressure to make it to keep going to keep going and provide a better life because now you're now only making 6,000 5,000 a month because the 3,000 is going to Mom or or or dad per se um so if you're making that extra money please retire them because it keeps them calm it keeps you happy in the back your mind knowing your 60-year-old mother is not working no more because of the hard work that you've done and like I said you don't have to make $200,000 first you can make the the the the 78 9,000 a month first the 10,000 a month first and if your parents bills are $3,000 yeah I would rather pay that than than than uh uh try to get to 25 and then retire them and that's only if their B if their bills are like 6,000 a month and yeah scale up save up whatever if their bills are 2,000 a month you can probably leave some of that and then work harder work harder because they don't got that many years left to live so you want to want them to be comfortable we without any you know natural disasters or accidents we probably got about 60 right to 70 years left basically so we can still like I said in the beginning use up our health to to get more wealth and we can still push forward so they can be more calm and you do that your trading may become a little bit better because you're you're now focused on locked in because you got a reason to be locked in when you're just doing it for yourself and there's no pressure or or nothing on you there's no reward which bring me to my my my point number my last Point basically is please reward yourself when you are trading no matter what like reward yourself like whether that is retiring somebody like right like or or buying something you are never going to look at trading as a very very serious Endeavor if you don't reward yourself like and Q talked about it in our interview where like he'll be up 120,000 if he doesn't close it's just video game money doesn't feel real right same with me you have to close and put it into your bank account for it to feel real once you do that then it's like oh this is real I actually can keep this I I can I can do this and then you can start buying stuff with it and you realize this came from Trading when Q gets you know his exhaust from from from Trading profits all this came from Trading when I pay rent from Trading profits it's like oh I'm living here because of trading right or or when I'm changing somebody's life oh this started from Trading right you got to reward yourself no matter what when I go on a trip to Cabo with you know all the team back in 2021 oh this came from Trading yeah this is the reason why I work hard if you don't reward yourself you're you're going to be working in in an endless loop and you're never going to get it reward yourself reward yourself reward yourself no matter what um and it seems like a broken record saying these stuff but it got me to where I got where it got me and it got everybody else where they got them and and I'm going keep drilling it in your head until it makes sense until it sticks with you and once it sticks with you then you you'll probably say the same thing when you are on YouTube or while you're telling your family yeah I've been hearing this for a long time but it never clicked with me until year three or year four and now understand it and it's like it's the same process just one day one of these things is going to click with you and it's going to make all the difference hope you guys enjoyed the video this this is a limo conversation um like I said as I'm traveling through New York right now um I'm here for the weekend and I'm see some family do some work um obviously like I said you guys already know uh you know I'm away from secure the bag right now
