Three Sentences from a Billionaire That Changed My Life and Made Me Millions
After graduating college, I met with my uncle in his Chicago office. I had grown up in Los Angeles and thought he simply wanted to welcome me to the city and share some advice. However, he offered a life-changing perspective.
He said, “It's easier to be poor when you're young than when you're old. When you're poor and young, you can always get by. But, when you're poor and old, no one gives a "&^%" about you!”
The phone then rang, and he had to go into a meeting. I sat there for a while, thinking about it. I always respected him because he started with very little money and became a real estate billionaire 40 years ago, when it was even tougher to do so. So when he said something, I listened.
Shortly after, he walked in and said, “I’m sorry, but I have to go into another meeting, but we can talk more later. Listen, what I just told you will be a blessing or a curse.”
I responded, confused, “What do you mean?”
He continued, “If you work hard now while you're young, you will remember this short conversation as a blessing. You can enter your later years with money, success and a happier, more fulfilled life. But, if you don’t heed my advice, you will remember this conversation as a curse, with sadness about what could have been.”
Wow! I had never really thought about my later life. What would it be like to get older? I mean, I really didn't have much money when I was younger, I didn't need it. But will it matter when I am older? When my health starts to deteriorate, my looks starting to fade, and I am running out of money - perhaps living in an old apartment all alone, worried if Social Security would be enough to support me… so many things I had never considered.
You see, I had always been driven and done well because I had "the secret". I knew what it took to make it - everyone in our family knew, and I can prove it!
My mother won two Golden Globe Awards as the best actress in a dramatic series, my other uncle won 2 Academy Awards as a cinematographer, the other uncle, as mentioned, became a billionaire, and my brother and I both started and sold multi-million-dollar online companies. Winning was easy!
So, what is the secret? Identify and remove the weaknesses in your personality - that's it! You see, most people aren't successful because there are obstacles in their personality holding them back, for example, lack of discipline, drive, vision, etc. My family members took the time to make sure we all knew this.
Now, I have decided to make my legacy helping everyone also benefit from this wisdom and create a FREE tool to do the same and balance their mind, and God-willing, realize the same success we all had. It will go live on January 1, 2024. It's name? www.MindBalance.net.
There will be a website, as well as phone apps for Android and iPhone with assessment tools to identify your strengths and weaknesses, and then hundreds of inspiring short videos and tools to help you (or your loved ones) also discover the secret to hapiness, success and fulfillment - again, for free!
Please...don’t take this letter lightly. You see, this letter will be a blessing or a curse as well. You now have the ability to improve your life or that of people you care about by sharing this letter, my story. By helping them also identify the weaknesses in their personality that would stop them from a happy life, a good relationship, a successful job, true peace and harmony, and everything they can be.
Now older, I live a very comfortable life and can give back to help others, thanks to God and the advice I have given you.
Peace and love.
