Chapter 1: Who is Dan Martell and what is his background?
Recording this today, I'm a 45-year-old multimillionaire, but if I could go back and talk to my 20-year-old self and give him some advice, here are the 60 things I would share. 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.
Chapter 2: What is the first key advice about timing and decision-making?
In this podcast, I'll show you exactly how to build a life and business you don't grow to hate. And make sure you don't miss anything by subscribing to my newsletter at martellmethod.com. Number one, stop waiting for the right time. Just make the time right. Most people, the most important thing they got to do is just make a decision. Stop waiting to get ready and just do it.
Chapter 3: How should you invest your time and money wisely?
Number two, broke people buy distractions, rich people buy time. You have to start investing in things that are gonna save you time. Think about wash and fold laundry or meal prep or using the apps that bring stuff to you so you don't spend your time running a bunch of errands. Number three, your 20s is when you get good, your 30s is when you get rich, and your 40s is when you get wise.
Chapter 4: How does Dan Martell view life in 10-year increments?
I look at my life in 10 year increments. The first 10 was to develop the skill to become valuable. The next 10 was to figure out how to make money with that skill. The last 10 was using that to create my empire. You have to dedicate yourself in decades to one focus. Number four, buy the way you want to be bought from.
Chapter 5: What mindset shifts help overcome fear of failure?
Most people are so cheap, they get mad when buyers are cheap with them, but they're the ones that put the energy out there. So if you want people to easily buy from you, easily buy from other people. Number five, Winners lose more than losers ever will. Most people are scared to fail, but that's only true if you don't get the feedback.
Chapter 6: How important is self-esteem and commitment to yourself?
If you take a shot on goal and you miss, but you learn how to take a better shot on goal, then that is actually a win. Don't be scared of failure, embrace it. Number six, self-esteem is the reputation you have with yourself.
Chapter 7: How can saying no improve your focus and opportunities?
If every time you make a commitment to yourself, you let yourself down by not keeping that commitment, then you erode your self-esteem, your self-worth, and you'll never fight for what you think you deserve. Number seven, if it's not a hell yes, it's a hard no. My frame is very simple. I ask myself, if somebody asked me to do the thing they want me to do and it was today, would I say yes?
If the answer is no, because I'm busy, then it's probably no. Even the good stuff is a no, because if I don't say no, then I won't have the space to say yes to the great. Number eight, say yes until you can afford to say no. You say yes when you have a lot of opportunities, but then if you're good, you get a lot more requests. Then you got to learn to say no when things no longer serve you.
Number nine, the best way to predict the future is to attract it. Most people get confused because they think they got to create success. My philosophy is that I attract success. I pull my future into my present by being very clear on what I want to achieve and taking action. Number 10, you can't complain about the outcomes you didn't get from the work you didn't do.
Stop expecting things to be easy. They're not and they never will be because if you're not doing the work, then you can't get the outcome. Number 11, broke people talk about people. Rich people talk about ideas. Just listen to yourself when you're with your friends. Are you talking about other people or you're talking about possibility?
Are you talking about ideas or you're talking about creation or you're focusing on talking about the easiest thing to talk about, which is about other people that aren't even there. Number 12, don't take criticism from people you wouldn't take advice from. My philosophy is very simple.
I only take advice or criticism from people who are already where I want to be or have done the thing I want to do. Number 13, how you do anything is how you do everything. Most people discount the small things, but those small things lead into big things. If you take care of your environment, then the business will be taken care of.
If you take care of your space, then your team will be taken care of. Focus on doing the small things right to get the big things to come to life. Number 14, the quality of your life is determined by the quality of your habits. So you got to figure out what are the three to five things that if you do every day will set you up for success. Number 15, the best revenge is massive success.

Chapter 8: What habits and perspectives lead to massive success?
When I was growing up, I was that kid that the other kids in my neighborhood weren't allowed to play with. Now I earned that label and trust me, I didn't always make the best decisions. But when I decided to turn my life around, I didn't focus on proving them wrong. I just focused on becoming undeniable. Number 16, winners focus on winning, losers focus on winners.
If you compare yourself to everybody else, then you're always looking for why you're not good enough. And the truth is you're only competing against one person and that's you from the past. Number 17, most people are too afraid of looking stupid to ever get good at anything. Think about all the people you see on social media.
The reason they're good is because they decided to start, even though in their head, trust me, because I'm one of them. I thought I have nothing to share. People are going to think I'm dumb. This is dumb. I still decide to do it because if you think everything makes you look dumb, you'll never try anything. Number 18, it's not about having time. It's about making time.
The truth is nobody creates time. Nobody has extra time. We all have the same amount of time. You either decide to allocate it properly or you don't. You're 100% accountable for that. Number 19, your mind will believe what you repeatedly tell it. Anytime somebody asks me, how you doing, Dan? I always answer the same way. Incredible. Incredible. Freaking amazing. Awesome. Thanks for asking. Why?
because you will believe what you repeatedly say so i reprogram my mind using mantras like that and many others to keep myself focused on who i want to become number 20 80 of your problems would be solved if you just went to bed on time it's kind of crazy but this simple life lesson will change everything for you set an alarm for when you go to bed and just honor it get to sleep nothing exciting happens late at night when you can have an early start to your day
Number 21, the problem isn't lack of resources, it's lack of resourcefulness. Most people think, well, I don't have the money to start that or the friend group or the experience. The truth is most people that have won in life, they're just more resourceful. They don't make a list of things that tell them they can't do something. They get good at finding the resources needed to solve the problems.
Number 22, learn to be alone without being lonely. One of the most powerful skills and processes I've learned is become the person who needs nothing from anybody. If I can be happy with nothing, then I'm gonna be ecstatic with a lot. Number 23, work while they sleep so you can live like they dream. Most people would rather sleep in and snooze on their life, but you're different.
You're gonna get up early every day, do the hard things and live a life that 99% of people only dream of. Number 24, you teach people how to treat you. If somebody does something that I don't agree with, I say it right away. I don't accept people stepping all over me. Number 25, money is a tool, not the goal. I think of money like a battery. It's an energy source.
And we want to use money as a tool to improve our life. You don't want to hoard it.
