You Are Not An Exception | Ep. 149

Recently, I made a poll asking: Would you rather have a million dollars today or the skills of a billionaire in five years? It's a loaded question, and to me, the answer is obvious…you have to go for the skills. Let me tell you why.Money is never the solution to all our problems. It can depreciate, be stolen, and even become devalued over time. On the other hand, having the skills, knowledge, resources, and ability to make money will never leave you wanting. However, I was surprised to find that 30% of my audience chose the million dollars. Many argued that it could improve the quality of their lives, help them acquire skills and invest for retirement. While these things may be true, in my experience, things that are given without having been earned tend to leave us easily.Think about the lottery. Reports suggest that 70% of people who win the lottery will go bankrupt within only a few short years. That's a massive majority of people. My question is…what makes you think you are the exception? If we don't yet have the skills or the ability to make a million dollars, chances are….we won't know how to use it properly if it's just handed to us.Now, I'm not saying that everyone who chooses the million dollars will lose it. There's a chance that some of my listeners are the 30% who can make it work. But the point is, you have to be honest with yourself and know where you stand. Ultimately, my message is clear: choose the skills, and you'll never want for money in your life.LEAVE A REVIEW if you liked this episode!!
