the system made you lazy, here's how to escape (& get rich)

if you're ambitious but lazy this video

is for you here's the harsh truth your

clock is ticking and nothing is changing

yes your head might be racing with ideas

and ambition but without action the life

you've always dreamt of will start to

fade away every day you wait the more

time you waste and if you're not careful

your life will start to look a little

something like this flat predictable and

totally uninspiring this is the reality

for most people spending the past 5

years in the same job with maybe a

couple of pay Rises if you're lucky you

can even see after these pay Rises the

line doesn't improve that much and

sometimes even goes down this is because

the more people earn the more they tend

to spend the worse part of all is that

this lifestyle pattern has become

normalized by Society telling you that

you're lazy and don't have what it takes

to be successful but even if this has

been you for the past 2 three four plus

years it doesn't have to you this year I

don't believe you're lazy you're just

trapped in a system designed to keep you

spinning your wheels on a flat line

convincing you that slow progress is the

only way so what you're feeling isn't

laziness it's frustration with a path

that was never designed to help you

thrive today's video is all about my

five-stage process to escape this trap

and start creating some real momentum in

your life so let's get to

[Music]

it stay page one is called stagnation

and I'd imagine that is likely where you

are right now the reason you feel like

you've been thrown in at the deep end

without any preparation or guidance is

because that's exactly what's happened

you leave school and get your first job

and that's it you're left to your own

devices so you play it safe by sticking

it out in the same job taking zero

chances if you stay in this stage too

long you risk becoming a debt slave

where your income barely keeps up with

your monthly expenses right now the

national debt clock is sitting at $36

trillion and increasing by the second if

this doesn't prove that our society is

built on debt then I don't know what

will people are owning fewer houses

fewer cars and fewer luxuries as the

trend of renting instead of owning grows

this isn't just happening because times

are changing the elite have made their

plans clear with something called the

Great reset this aims to shift power

away from people by depriving them of

ownership and controlling it all

themselves imagine the government owning

your home and then letting someone else

live there whenever you're away this is

the future they want and it means

escaping society's trap will be nearly

impossible they've sold us the lie that

money doesn't make you happy this was

created by the rich to control the poor

keeping us dependent on state pensions

that barely cover anything in reality

money equals freedom and freedom equals

happiness the rich are just going to

keep getting richer so why not just join

them if you can recognize this stage

early then you can take those calculated

risks to get out before it's too late

don't be part of the 58% of Americans

living paycheck to paycheck which I

reckon will increase over the next few

years the first action you take is the

most important start by gaining full

control of your finances track every

dollar you spend and be honest about

what's essential and what's a luxury use

this awareness to automate your savings

so you consistent put money aside each

month no matter how small the amount at

the end of the day even your Xbox is

smart enough to save your game progress

so why not save your

[Music]

funds the next stage is called Ignition

now believe it or not more than 50% of

people never even get to this stage

which means this is when you might start

to see a difference between you and your

friends at this stage you're doing

everything you can to break out of

stagnation

but it's pretty hard because you've got

a couple of things that are holding you

back first is your friends they won't

always like your new attitude as it

forces them to either change themselves

or be left behind both of these things

are very painful so instead they will

try to drag you back down to their level

as that's the easier option I'm sure

you've experienced this before when you

tell a friend about one of your

achievements they don't seem that happy

for you and try to shift the

conversation to be all about them the

second issue you're going to face is

inflation keeping all the money you save

in the bank will actually slow you down

in the long run and create more

stagnation stages along the way so how

does this happen well due to inflation

the value of cash in your account

diminishes year after year here's a

calculator that shows you the impact of

inflation on your savings over time now

let's say you have $55,000 in your bank

account and uh you're not earning any

interest if inflation happens at a rate

of 2.5% a year which is pretty normal in

20 years your $5,000 will still look

like $5,000 in your bank account but it

will only be able to buy the same amount

of stuff as

$3,051 could buy today so even though

the numbers don't change the real value

of your money shrinks because things get

more expensive that's why saving money

in a way that grows over time is so

important so now let's compare that with

a scenario where you invest your money

so if you were to invest that same

$5,000 into something like the S&P 500

and average a 7% annual return adjusted

for inflation the estimated value of

your money after 20 years would grow to

over

$220,000 however it's important to note

that there are no guarantees investment

returns can go up and down and past

performance is not a guarantee of future

result so this really shows the power

that compounding returns can have over

time instead of letting inflation eat

away at your hard-earned cash if you

want to get involved with investing then

I'd recommend you download the tradeing

212 app where you can invest as little

as1 or Euro to get started even if you

manag to invest £5 or Euros per day for

the next few months it will really help

you get started with those first steps

and break out of that stagnation stage

since I was planning to talk about

trading 212 anyway I reached out to them

to see if they'd be interested in

sponsoring this portion of the video

they agreed and are offering a free

fractional share worth up to £100 to

anyone that uses the code tilb when they

create an account plus you can get more

free shares by inviting your friends

both of you will get a free share as

long as they fund their account I'll

leave a link in the description if

you're interested just remember only to

invest what you can afford to and don't

starve yourself of cash as there's a lot

we need to do in the next

[Music]

stage next is the acceleration stage now

this is where you're starting to gain

some real momentum but what got you here

won't be enough to carry you to the next

stage unless you want to wait decades to

Achieve Financial Freedom this is the

time to accelerate you need to fully

commit to taking advantage of current

opportunities as they won't be around

Forever at this stage there are three

C's that I focused on which help me

accelerate my wealth dramatically cash

flow connections and confidence let's

start with with cash flow you need a

constant supply of money coming into

your bank account so that you can use it

to generate more wealth think of cash

flow as the fuel for your financial

engine the best way to generate cash

flow is to start a side hustle that

provides immediate income this doesn't

have to be your billion dooll unicorn

idea it can be a small service-based

side hustle with low startup costs that

meets a specific need whether it's

offering social media management video

editing or Facebook adds to businesses

your goal is to bring money in fast if I

were starting over I would set up a

service-based business targeting other

businesses especially during economic

uncertainty companies are willing to pay

for anything that boosts their profits

and positioning yourself as someone who

can deliver results makes you

indispensable now for connections

surrounding yourself with the right

people can have a massive impact on your

trajectory it's no coincidence that

successful people often associate with

others who have achieved similar or

greater success you know the saying

surround yourself with five losers and

you'll be the six talking to like-minded

individuals opens your eyes to New

Opportunities motivates you and provides

valuable insights make an effort to

network on platforms like Instagram or

LinkedIn and don't shy away from

reaching out to people who inspire you

finally there's confidence this is what

separates those who accelerate their

progress from those who stagnate

confidence allows you to take calculated

risks and make bold moves that others

are too afraid to try without confidence

you'll hesitate at crucial moments and

miss out on life-changing opportunities

push yourself to step out of your

comfort zone and take risks whether

that's pitching to a big client or

investing in a skill that sets you

[Music]

apart the next stage is expansion now

you've built up some acceleration with

the 3 C's it's time to focus on

expansion this is where your wealth

starts to grow exponentially as you

invest in assets that generate passive

income and appreciate over time the

first step is understanding the

difference between assets and

liabilities which you've probably come

across before many people waste their

resources on liabilities like expensive

cars or homes that don't generate income

while these might look good on the

surface they drain your wealth over time

instead try to focus on assets that put

money into your pocket such as rental

properties dividend paying stocks or

useful skills that you can use to start

a side hustle I know you might be

thinking this sounds a bit daunting

right now but remember everything in the

other stages would have built towards

this phase in your life you might be 8

to 10 years deep into this plan at this

point so although you're sat at home now

thinking I'm not in a position to do

this you will be there are two main

approaches you can take at this stage

let me explain them both first

diversification spreading your

Investments across multiple asset

classes to protect your wealth and

reduce risk second High conviction plays

concentrating your resources on a few

Investments that you have a deep

understanding of and strong confidence

in this approach carries more risk but

can lead to faster and larger returns if

executed well many billionaires

including Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos built

their wealth by focusing on high

conviction plays like these the approach

you choose depends on your risk

tolerance and expertise if you're just

starting diversification might be the

smarter route however as you gain

experience and confidence High

conviction plays can help you expand

your wealth even further remember the

goal at this stage is to acquire assets

that work for you every dollar you

invest should have a purpose to grow

your wealth and to move you closer to

Financial

[Music]

Freedom Welcome to the final stage

Mastery this is where you've achieved

Financial Freedom and can live life on

your own terms at this level money is no

longer a concern your assets generate

enough income to cover your expenses

fund your lifestyle and allow you to

focus on what truly matters but Mastery

isn't just about enjoying the fruits of

your labor on a beach in the males it's

also about leaving a legacy and helping

others achieve their own success the

wealthiest people in the world from

Warren Buffett to Oprah Winfrey

understand the importance of giving back

and building something that lasts beyond

their lifetime at this stage your focus

should shift from accumulating wealth to

managing and preserving it this means

reinvesting profits to maintain and grow

your portfolio mentoring others and

sharing the lessons you've learned along

the way ultimately Mastery is about more

than just money it's about achieving

true freedom freedom to spend your time

as you wish freedom to pursue your

passions and fre freedom to create a

lasting Legacy that benefits others so

are you ready to follow this path to

wealth and take control of your

financial future the Journey won't be

easy but if you follow these stages

you'll unlock the life you've always

dreamed of and end up right here at the

top so if you want to learn how to
