Recording this right now, I'm 44 years old. But if I had to go back and give my 24-year-old self some advice on becoming successful even faster, here's what I would say. Welcome to the Martell Method. I went from rehab at 17 to building a $100 million empire and being a Wall Street Journal bestselling author.
In this podcast, I'll show you exactly how to build a life and business you don't grow to hate. My best-selling book, Buy Back Your Time, is out now. Grab a copy at buybackyourtime.com or at any of your preferred online retailers. Number one, true humility isn't about diminishing yourself, it's about elevating others.
I meet people sometimes and I give them a compliment and they go, oh yeah, but I actually suck at this. And I'm like. Hmm, interesting. See, what they don't realize is diminishing themselves is not humility. Say, thanks, I've been working on this because I got some great help from this person here.
That's actually more impressive and the right way to work through life because if you're always talking down to yourself, then why would anybody want to work up with you? If you instead take that energy and shine it on other people, That's humility. Saying that you're not that good, giving somebody an open to criticize you is actually the opposite. It's actually false humility and not a good look.
Number two, a smooth sea never made a strong sailor. Jim Rohn used to talk about it all the time. You can't control the wind, but you can control how you set the sail. A strong sailor understands how to set the sail. Everything gets better when it goes through some level of adversity. If you wanna be better, don't wish the sea was smoother, wish you were a better sailor.
Number three, discipline can fix 80% of your problems. One of the most unique things in this world right now is consistency. Watching somebody be consistent, go to the gym for 30, 40, 60, 90 days in a row, most people don't realize if you can just build that discipline muscle and show up every day, it'll fix most of your problems. Number four, when people show you who they are, believe them.
I've learned over the years when somebody shows up and they're disheveled, they're untrustworthy, they're confusing to talk to, don't pretend like that's gonna magically go away. Instead, understand it won't. Number five, red flags never go down. Anytime I've gotten into business with somebody and my gut told me, I shouldn't.
I've now realized if there's a red flag, if I feel it in my soul, I'm gonna move on. No proof needed. Number six, the person who needs nothing can't be controlled. Your attachment to outcomes, your attachments to goals, your attachments to how other people need to behave for you allows that person to control you.
Your need of anything from anybody else is their ability to control your emotions, your happiness, your life. If you can get to a place which I encourage you to consider of showing up, being involved, but being unattached, then you can't be controlled and you get to create from a place of freedom. Number seven, everything you're insecure about is what makes you you. Think about this.
