have you ever wondered why so many people uh struggle their way through life and other people seems like everything's effortless and they make all this money and they can do whatever they desire to do they can eat where they want to eat they can they can live in the house they desire to live in they can drive the car that they car cars they desire to drive uh they can experience the world like as their playground and other people just struggle to keep the lights on so I want to talk to you today about how to make a million dollars step by step and I'm not going to give you any Theory because I don't know any I don't like I don't know any theories um I just know the stuff that I do and I am here to tell you I've got great news for you it is literally everybody say literally it is literally no harder to make a million dollars than it is to make $100 or $1,000 or $10,000 or $100,000 no harder in fact I would submit to you that it's actually easier because of the things that you have to do to make a million dollars are not based on hard work I think part of the reason we struggle our way through existence is because of the lies that we buy and they cost too much we bought into lies like you got to work hard for your money well do you we bought into lies like time is money is it we bought into lies Like A Hard Day's work for for A Hard Day's Pay Here's here's why I'm talking about this if I believe that A Hard Day's Work For A Hard Day's pay is right and I desire to be a good honest honorable Noble person then I am going to ignore the easy answers that could work and only take action when I find the hard things that might work see we don't realize that we've been progr Med we have been programmed it it I love the fact that the Bible has all of these answers and all these pictures and all these antidotes like when I think about the children of Israel in Egypt as slaves for 400 years and they were it doesn't just tell us that they were slaves it tells us what their job was their job was to make bricks so they could build the kingdom that enslaved them isn't that fascinating like isn't it interesting that we've all been programmed to make bricks to build the kingdom that enslaves us isn't it fascinating that when Moses told Pharaoh God said let my people go he said oh oh y'all don't have enough to do let me y'all y'all sitting around trying to figure out how how to go Worship in the wilderness oh oh okay I got something for you okay I've been giving y'all straw to make your bricks cuz they make the bricks out of straw and Clay I ain't giving y'all no more straw go get the go get the straw yourself make the bricks and by the way you better not make one brick less today than you made yesterday so he doubled down on their work and somehow they got programmed they got just commanded to build the bricks that build the kingdom that enslaves us the bricks that we build that build the kingdom that that enslaves us are the thoughts that we keep rethinking that have already demonstrated that they can't serve us nor do they give us the ability to serve anybody else the habits that we've developed that are to our detriment and we can see clear that they're to our detriment but we don't get rid of those habits and replace them with some new ones and so most people are building Bri making bricks to build the kingdom and enslaves them so I'm going to share with you how not to do that anymore so it starts with our beliefs so here's what we believe about making a million dollars I know because this is what I used to believe before I ever made a million dollars here's what I believed I believed it was hard making a million dollar is hard why did I believe making a million dollars is hard because the best job I had ever had in my life I was making $30,000 a year and the work that I did to make $30,000 a year was hard so if a million dollar is 35 times more than $30,000 then making a million dollar it's just it's just logical it has to be 35 times harder because I don't realize that the things that I do that make $30,000 a year regardless of how many hours I work or how hard I work in those hours is never going to make me a million dollars a year so I've got a faulty equation based on faulty programming and so I never stop to th NK think about how do you make a million dollar and since the thought never enters my head I never think about how to do it and when I think about it the only thought I have about it is how hard it is then I avoid thinking about it because then I have to think about all that hard work you see how it's a trap and we've programmed like we've been programmed by the system that in order for answers to be right they have to be hard to come by has anybody ever diagrammed a sentence as an adult I'm just wondering is there anybody in this room who's ever diagrammed a sentence as an adult right right right right why because adults don't diagram sentences so instead of teaching our children to do things that they will have to do for the rest of their lives we make them memorize a bunch of random totally useless information to validate the intelligencia of the institution and to document and validate the degree of the teachers in those institutions what if what if instead we made education about our children's prepar preparation well there's a novel concept then maybe when we got to be adults we wouldn't be 35 45 55 years old wandering around in the wilderness of indecision attempting to figure out how to make our life work cuz I'm telling you right now all of the principles that you need to know to become financially independent you could have understood them in the fifth grade so the question then becomes how long have I I've been out of the fifth grade that's a good question I've been out to fifth grade for a while so how comes it's not working because I've avoided it subconsciously by the way let me say this I thought you were going to teach me how to make a I am that's what I'm doing right now see but you think you know what it looks like even though you never made a million dollars this is what teach you how to make a million dollar stepbystep looks like because if you don't start here it doesn't matter if I teach you what to do if I don't show you how to become the person who will do it you're not going to do it it all begins with beliefs so you believe that making a million dollar a year is hard so you don't do it I don't believe making a million dollars an hour is hard so sometimes I have Million Dollar hours and I know you don't think that's fair but what you don't realize I don't care I don't care about fair you know why when I was in elementary school my dad told me well I'm a tell you something life ain't Fair yes sir I knew life wasn't fair when I was in elementary school see how much stuff can learn in elementary school if you just pay attention so so so it starts with belief so I'm going to teach you something about belief that will help you accomplish anything that you desire to accomplish for the rest of your life everybody say I'm ready I'm ready okay here it is never assign a level of difficulty to something before you even take the first step people who achieve don't look at stuff and think about how hard it's going to be ever it is just what it is it's only going to be as hard as it is it can't possibly be any harder than that and so what happens is when you look at something like people who desire to get to a certain weight they look well uh but I've tried dieting before well maybe dieting isn't the way to get to the your desired weight people who are not healthy but they desire to get healthy yeah but I've tried um taking supplements and exercising and I don't like it okay that's fine but see you're like you already have demonstrated that you don't know what to do and so now because you don't know what to do you're assigning a level of difficulty to what to do based on the fact that you don't know what to do that's Insanity it doesn't make any sense so stop looking at things and assigning a level of difficulty to them because when you do when you ass when you look at something and you assign a level of difficulty to it that's bigger than you you are disagreeing with God how do I know what is man that thou are mindful of him the son of man that thou visit him for thou has made him a little lower than the angels and has crowned him with Glory and Honor th mest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands thou has put all things under his feet so I've never come across a situation that's bigger than me that's stronger than me that's outside of the realm of my cap ability if you'd go back 150 years you'd think like everybody thought well flying in the air is impossible or Wilbur's dad told him if God wanted you to fly he'd to put Wings on your back see we allow our beliefs to stop us from taking the action that would work if we would work it are y'all tracking Okay cool so how do you make a million dollars step by step number one don't assign a level of difficulty y'all tracking number two decide to do it just decide I'm going to do it and once you decide to do it then you can let your subconscious mind start looking for the answers to how to do it here's what I found out you don't have to know how to do something in order to get it done in fact there are a lot of things right now I'm not talking about sometime in the future there are a lot of things right now in your life that you know how to do but you ain't doing them can I get a witness you ain't doing them huh so don't act like well if I only knew child please okay so decide to do it now decide does not mean the same thing as choose right choose means pick one see if you make a choice you can change your mind but if you make a decision there is no changeing your mind it's like I talked about a couple weeks ago I talk about like when an airplane's taken off you get to a certain point it's called the point of no return it's like we are going to take this plane's going to go up in the air or it's going to crash and burn we're not slowing down we're not starting over like and see when you get to the point of no return the point of no return is based on two things where you are and how fast you're going you can't creep up to the point of no return see and you want to inch your way up to a decision that's not how decisions work decision work like this you cut yourself off from everything else that's what the word decide means so you just decide I'm going to do this you decide I'm going to make a million dollars you decide I'm going to become a bestselling author you decide I'm going to get in shape you decide I'm not going to be old and sick and fat and out of I'm not going to do it you just decide and you make a decision I'm like I got I I can decide I have autonomy okay so you decide I'm gonna make a million dollars okay then you discover the principles and do the math now here's the cool thing about the math y'all ready it's fifth grade math it's actually third grade math but I'm doing my best to make you feel good fifth grade math there's no algebra involved there's no trigonometry there's no there's no uh calculus it's just basic addition subtraction multiplication and percentages I don't know I don't like if I promise you if somebody would have showed me what I'm about to show you when I was in the fifth grade I'd have been a millionaire by the time I was in the ninth grade yall ready here we go so before I start doing the math let me tell you one other thing you got to do you have to disconnect your Revenue generation from time that's how they get us they get us by programming us to Anchor our Revenue generation to time in the form of dollars per hour to the point that even when business owners decide on their pricing they decide on their pricing based on dollars per hour I don't like dollars per hour may I share with you why I don't like dollars per hour yes okay here's why because time is a limited resource so if I anchor my Revenue generation to time then the amount of Revenue I can generate is always going to be limited so in order for me to generate unlimited wealth and I know some people don't like that idea I don't have time to fix that for you right now now I don't but if I desire to generate unlimited wealth to proi to provide for my family for Generations then I must disconnect my Revenue generation from time and when I anchor my Revenue generation from time it needs to be a number that's big enough to make me not M so much that's why I charge $40,000 an hour for Consulting and some people think I'd never pay $4 ,000 for Consulting for an hour of Consulting I know and you'd never get $40,000 worth of Consulting from me in an hour so both of us are happy are y'all tracking so disconnect your Revenue generation from time which means if you're going to build wealth through starting a business starting a business that sells a product or a productized service is the way to do that so I'm going to pick a product that's really simple that I've got right here and I'm just going to say a book now you could write a book now as soon as I said that here's what some of you thought some of you on Instagram but I don't know how to write a book that was your first thought or how do you write a book or why would somebody want to read my book okay so here's a millionaire formula for you ready if you ask disempowering questions you cannot find empowering answers you're not going to find what you're not looking for so when I decided to write a book I didn't know how to write a book I had no idea how to write a book so I asked myself the question does anybody know how to write a book well I found these two guys that had sold over 100 million books anybody know their names Mark Victor Hansen and Jack Canfield and they wrote The Chicken Soup for the Soul series they didn't actually write it they they compiled it it's Pro that's probably the most brilliant business idea ever I don't even have time to go into that I um in fact y'all remind me to do a video called Chicken Soup for the moneymaker Soul okay anyway so so Mark Victor Hansen had a book conference where he was teaching people how to become bestselling authors and it was only $2,000 I got $2,000 I'm going to the conference because I know I'm gonna write a book and while I was at that conference I bought $18,000 worth of training material to teach me how to become a bestselling author cuz different people had course this is how you sell your books this is how you Market your books this how you promote your book this is how you get your book I bought all of it why because I decided I'm going to be a bestselling author and guess what happened I wrote my first book which was this book but it was a different title it's called the ebony treasure map the road map to riches for African-Americans Same Book Different title and when I wrote that book and I printed it I found out at that conference that the average book only sells 500 copies there's there's over um there were at that in that time at that time there was like 190,000 cop new new books titles published every year and the average book never sold more than 500 copies so guess how many copies I got printed 500 right because I'm an optimist but the first week I sold 900 copies at $20 a piece 900 time 20 that's 18,000 huh so I made my $188,000 back and I still have the book had to get new books printed the second printing was like 3,000 then 10,000 then 15,000 and we just kept printing them selling them printing them selling them now so here's what we do you need a product that makes you $20 profit so $20 all you have to do to make a million dollars is sell 50,000 of them we have sold over 70,000 copies of This Book Is that more than 50,000 this is one of our books by the way okay you sell 50,000 copies so I'm going to teach you some more fifth grade math right this is a fifth grade math trick so actually a third grade math trick here we go if you're multiplying two numbers that end in zero you multiply the two numbers 5 * 2 equals okay let put the times there equals 10 then you count the zeros 1 2 3 4 5 1 2 three four five boom boom it's a million dollarars you sell 50,000 books so I know when I say sell 50,000 books I know what you're thinking you say how do you know what I'm thinking I'm kind of a mind reader it's not the real reason how do I know what you're thinking because this is this is human nature how do you sell 50,000 copies am I telling the truth how many yall thought but how do youself how many are think of that come on now be honest yeah exactly you haven't even written the book yet but you're letting how do you sell 50,000 copies keep you from writing the book but if you write the book you're more likely to figure out the ways to sell 50,000 copies then you are to figure out how to sell 50,000 copies before you write the book and then write the book because you know how to sell them are y'all tracking tracking what if you got on the right podcast one like one podcast could sell 50,000 books are youall tracking one right like if Oprah puts your book on her list of favorite things you're going to sell more than 50,000 books see all you have to do is realize that somebody out there already has the attention of the audience that would love you love who everybody tap yourself on the chest say me yeah somebody out there already has the attention of the audience that would love you so you s 50,000 books cool well what do you do next well let's say that's too much work and you don't feel like doing all that because I can see some of y'all clearly are not up for the task you're like it's a lot Okay cool so let's do this I found out with this same math trick if I take the zero off the back back of this number and put it on the back of this number the answer stays the same so if I take that content in this book and I turn it into an audio program not an audio book an audio program or an audio course I can sell the same information for $200 and now I can do one tenth the work and make the same amount of money what did y'all hear what I just said okay maybe I'm the only one excited by this but this is a million dollars a year okay so my business currently sells between 70 and $90,000 worth of books a month so this is not Theory I'm not teaching you any Theory we sell over a million dollars worth of books every year Just Books coures totally different con concept but guess what when I moved that zero and it it like divided my workload by 10 that's one way to look at it or it multiplied my output by 10 however you want to look at it I said let me hire an attorney and a scientist and a minister and see if there are any scientific municipal or spiritual laws against moving zeros they all three said the same thing no you can move as many as you want to I said well let me move another and I take the same content and turn it into a course a full-blown home study course and I can sell it for $2,000 and I only have to sell 500 now here's the cool thing about 500 500 is only two a day five days a week and you can take weekends off what and you get a two we vacation okay okay I I think I feel the need to repeat something here because y'all looking at me kind of funny this is not Fury no no no like if somebody would you show me how I'm show I'm this is what I do this is not what I'm thinking about doing this is not what I read about doing this ain't what I heard about doing this is what I do I do this what all this all this then some so I said well you know what there's still some more zeros down here on the bottom I like it when we move these zeros to the top row move another one what if I have a $20,000 Mastermind I only have to sell 50 that's only one a week what one a week for a year I have a lady who used to be in my one in in my $55,000 Mastermind she had an automated webinar that sold a $2,000 product and she was making a half a million dollars a month step by step you say what are the steps move another zero okay that's that's a five step five steps better keep on stepping right that's five steps what if you create a $200,000 VIP day I did that I created a $200,000 VIP day I didn't know if anybody was going to buy it but here's what I knew if I didn't create it nobody wouldn't going back see you let your wife ifs talk you out of stuff that I let my what ifs talk me into I wish I had and I created this $200,000 Vip Day guess how many people bought it the first year 18 people that what I said 18 people that's $3.6 million do I'm not I am not brag here's what I'm doing I'm saying hey my friends come here I'm going to show you something really really cool that I learned and that I've been doing for the last couple of decades and it really really works really really well way better than dollars per hour and while you were talking yourself out of it I was talking myself into it guess what I did January last year no not January October 2022 because that's when I introduced that $200,000 program October 2022 October 2023 I raised the price from 200,000 to 350,000 sold 10 more that's another 3.5 now you say myam why are you telling us this I'm telling you this because if you could if you can help somebody achieve a result they will happily pay you but here's what you got to do here's what you got to do here's the secret sauce to make all of this stuff I just talked about work to make the book so it sells this is the part that's going to be hard for you until you just decide that this is what you going to do anyway don't make any of it about you don't write a book about you I just want to tell my story nobody wants to read about your story the only people that care about your story is you and your mama and she don't want to read about it she was there when it happened and it wasn't that interesting the first time I wrote the book called from the trash man and the Cashman you know people people think this is my story this ain't my story these are my discoveries this ain't my story my story I a care about my who cares about my story I barely care about my story nobody cares you have to make everything that you do in every product that you create every book that you write every home study course every you have to obsess over other people's problems so that they are willing to pay you because they realize you've obsessed over their problems more than they have here's what I found out a $20 book is easy to sell would y'all like to know why a $20 book is easy to sell everybody say yes because it's easy for them to pay for did you hear what that just said guess what a $200 product is easy to sell you know why but the same reason a $200 product is easy to sell but the same reason I'm gon blow your mind $2,000 product a $220,000 product a $200,000 product a $50,000 product even a million dollar product I have a million dollar coaching program that we only allow five people a year at a time in it and we only have three people in it right now I know poor thing okay here's my point the million-- dooll program is easy to sell how can I say that doesn't that sound ridiculous come on now don't that sound ridiculous come on now sounds ridiculous here's here's why it's easy to sell because I don't emphasize how much it cost if they say yes I emphasize how much it cost if they say no and I always make sure the cost of saying no is higher than the cost of saying yes and when you get that down it'll change your life for the rest of to your life and that is how you make a million dollars step by step all right hope that blesses you in the meantime in between time stay blessed by the best my people we'll see you on the next video
