(How to become a millionaire . . .) from the home page
With investments like these, why would ANYONE want to invest in crap? Why do some investors take high-risk options, while others sink the majority of their money into low-yield, low-risk tax havens? It’s more than a matter of “needs” (which everyone keeps whining about having); it’s about individual personalities. I will clue you in on a little secret. As a teenager I used to date ONLY fat chicks. I don’t mean “pleasantly plump.” If the girl wasn’t pushing 250 I wouldn’t talk to her, because my mind dictated to the rest of my body that I had no chance in Hell with any other girl. Somehow I was convinced that girls would never talk to me, even though I was told (usually by family of course) how good looking I was. Whether I was or not is not the point. My mind had slammed the door on my penis and I was locked in a mental jail. As fucked up as this sounds (and it was—not dating fat chicks—they were a blast, being in a mental jail sucked big buckets of ass flavored dog poo) I was not at all alone. In fact, being a teenager is one of the most difficult times most people go through in life, because e have yet to make a truly effective instructive manual. Adults don’t want to relive the social morass of trying to deal with hormones that red-line the Richter scale, and the general lessons of adulthood we all get are, “get a job,” and “don’t get girls pregnant.” What a fucking joke.
Even in adulthood many men carry around emotional baggage that limits their ability to march up to the hot women they really want and set up a date. These same emotional patterns prevent them from exploring life. They settle into “safe” relationships (the woman won’t leave them), and “safe” jobs (the boss won’t fire them and hopefully won’t spend all of the company’s money and cost them their pensions—see “auto makers”), and safe, secure debt. There is nothing wrong with a “safe,” comfortable life. But when those same nutrients poison you, and you find yourself skulking around to get some strange tail because leaving your wife (or job, or . . .) is “just too complicated” then you have fucked up somewhere. This happens to politicians, to movie stars, millionaires, billionaires, and one day it will happen to trillionaires* (imagine THAT divorce settlement!). We are going to leave all of that mess to other men. What we want for you is to harness the power of these neuroses to stuff your pockets with wads of cash. After all, it is considered respectable to make money selling homes (which everyone needs), or food (which no one can live without), so why not make some decent scratch filling the emotional needs of men and women everywhere by making yourself the person they want to invest in? We may not be able to quickly and easily solve everyone’s personal issues, but we certainly can help them find relatively instant happiness by hanging out with us (that would be “you”).
* I had to add that word to my online dictionary. I’ll bet a dollar that by 2012 we have our first publicly known trillionaire. By 2020 we will probably all be owned by one.
The first step is to decide who and what you are. This is easier than it sounds, but it still requires some effort on your part. There are any number of ways you can do this if you don’t already know, but here are some fairly simple methods that work pretty fast, even if you have a tight schedule. We will assume for the sake of this article that your job is mediocre at best—that despite the pay, it is just a job, not something you would rather do than have sex with supermodels on a private yacht, moored in the Mediterranean all day long. Work, family, friends, T.V., commutes: all of these things distract you from what you need most right now—alone time to think and remember just who the fuck you were when you didn’t have all of these things distracting you from your real self. Responsibility is the world’s greatest distraction. Wife leave you? Dog died? Truck broke down? Depressed? Broken hearted? Become a fireman! Join the police force in any metropolis! Instant responsibility will bully all of these aside and force you to f-o-c-u-s on the task at hand. Sure, you will wake up ten years later feeling empty, alone, and misunderstood due to never dealing with these issues, but responsibility will distract you from any and every other problem in direct proportion to the gravitational weight of said-responsibility. This is the eight hundred pound elephant in the room no one wants to talk about. Your “life” (what you have made of it) is exactly what is preventing you from living (the life you want). If you had nothing at least you would be free to pursue whatever it is that you did want. The problem with that scenario is that you would lack the resources to go after what you want.
So, we need to get some time for you to get away from everything and think about what you really like to do: for fun, for work, what kin of responsibility you like to carry around, and which ones you have now, but secretly wish you could be rid of “if only . . .” You can’t get these answers unless an until you are honest with yourself, truly honest, and that rarely happens until you are at a loss. But we don’t want you to lose everything (or anything) just to get into a Zen-like state where you can see your life clearly. We just need you to seriously get away and take some Popular Mechanics magazines, and maybe a book on war, and really get out of your zone, and into your zone. You need pictures of things you might like to see what it is that you do like. Spend an hour at a newsstand looking through the magazines on the rack see which ones grab your attention. This is an easy way to remind yourself of what you like and what you really have no interest in. It opens your mind to what “can be” and what “can go” (in the trash!). You can also hit the bookstore (but not the adult bookstore—we tried that, got nothing productive done all day) or a library, but magazines have a way of shouting out at us that books usually hide between their covers.
Get a cheap notepad and list things you wish you were doing, and things you would like to do in the next few years, if you can, and see where that takes you mentally. Take a drive (a lonnnnng one), or several if you have to. Don’t take along anyone but your dog (because you just can’t trust a cat). We need to get you away from everything in the shortest possible time frame to start those mental juices flowing. Boredom is a good sign; it means you are closing in on an epiphany. Make sure to take notes of your best ideas and desires. This is your life, and it is NOT some kind of practice-run, or rehearsal. Never forget that. You get one shot at this==don’t fuck it up.
The point of all of this introspection is to help you see where you really want to be, so you can find a way to get there from wherever you are now. There are lots of ways to change your station in life, which is why we built an “America.” But you have to get out from under the rock that is the oppressive weight of your “life” with all of its burdens and r-r-responsibilities to see just who the fuck you think you are anyway. Capice? Good! Now we can get everyone else wanting to have you in their lives. The moment you know what you want to do and you start down that path expect people to tell you that you are crazy. In fact we will start you off right:
“You are crazy. You are a failure, a loser, and incompetent. Whatever it is you think you want to do is impossible, It won’t work. If God meant man to (insert whatever it is you want to do here), he would have given us all (insert some overly-obvious solution here). I don’t know why you even bother. You should be happy where you are and grateful for what you’ve got.” Well, that’s about it. Now, the NEXT time any jackass tries to tell you that you CAN’T do whatever it is that you want to do, or that it won’t work, you can tell them, “I KNOW!”, now get the hell out of my way. The next thing you can expect, once you are actually making a little progress on your path is to find people who are casually interested in what you are doing. We will break these down into three categories:
Women who are sniffing around to see if you are “there” yet, anyone who is mildly curious about someone who has stepped out of line, and the occasional person who actually wants to help—whether for selfish reasons or they want to improve their own lives as well and see you as an inspiration. When you come across any of these people you need to see this as a milestone of success. The more of these you encounter, the closer your probably are to success, but bragging at parties in order to collect these people (like tokens) does not count.
When you are actually doing something in life that you truly love, even if you still have a crappy job, it starts to show in your face, in your smile, your attitude, and women especially can smell it—and they want some for themselves. If anyone is threatened by your newfound happiness it is usually because they are afraid that you will get something they don’t, or that you will be successful and leave them behind to wallow in their mediocrity. This story is as old as time and it happens to men every day all over the world. You have been warned. The more fun things you build in life, whether it is a pile of hobbies you enjoy or one project that gets larger and larger, the more other people will notice. Figure 30% will resent you in some way (overtly or not), another 40% really won’t care all that much, and around 30% will want to see you succeed. Whether they actually help you or not depends on how you present your passions to the world. If you are organized, efficient, and have the ability to show a profit (physical or emotional), you can expect people to want in on what you’ve got. By the way, the numbers we just used were purely made up and not based on any fact. But they make a fairly reliable yardstick to measure your own progress by.
None of this will happen if you aren’t in love with your life and what you are doing with it. Don’t bother trying to fake it unless you are a master con-artist, which is a whole separate issue. People who have really made it in life can smell a poseur, and “faking it” well enough to convince people who matter takes almost as much energy as doing it right, but there is no payoff at the end. It is just another empty addiction. We want you to have women flocking to you and men wanting to know you, to help you build your empire, and none of this happens unless you have a passion and you are actively pursuing it. We will add more (a LOT more) on how to do all of this in various articles, and of course we will cover this step-by-step in our upcoming course. But for now, try some introspection and start down the path of living the life YOU want, not the life that wants you to stay where you are. More soon.
