Video Summary:
With so many people trying to tell you how to get rich, why aren't you rich already?
Obviously, you're listening to the wrong advice. Stock tips and quick cheats are not the path to wealth. "But they all tell me it's supposed to be 'so simple' ... ?" Oh, it is, but that doesn't mean it's easy!
Just five basic principles -- the principles that rich folks practice to GET rich -- can make your life transcend your fondest dreams. These principles are so simple as to appear simplistic, but they aren't:
Create.
Control.
Do what you're passionate about.
Make it extraordinary.
Accept responsibility.
That's it ... five super-short sentences, a mere dozen words. You were expecting more?
Oh, there is more, but the "more" has to come from you -- from the soul-searching process of adopting each precept, but still finding your own unique way in this world. And it must be a way that others want a piece of, too. So much for the first four ...
The fifth principle, "Accept responsibility," is the hardest and least-often adopted by the would-be-rich. That's why they typically remain the wanna-be's.
Do you have the courage to hear the hard truth and then press it into service? - Jak na to + styl
i took your advice and i got a bussiness i sacrificed alot and now im genorating alot of money i love youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
Really???....hope yyre not joking

SUMMARY:
1. Become a creator.
-Create something of value.
-You need to control the creation (own it).
wealth = value
the more value you create, the more wealthy you become.
You can't get rich by doing ordinary work.
2. Don't make yourself a victim.
You are responsable of everything that happens to you.
Extremely basic things, too vague, but meh.
100% agree with you dude... I'm not super rich yet, but I did quit my job 3 yrs ago (a top earner for my boss with a good 70K sales job of 7 years) to be a wedding photographer. I was always scared to take the plunge, until my inner voice got so loud that I just walked out one day surprising everyone. You are bang on with creating excellence and thats one thing a strive on every day. While my first year was a bit of struggle, today I make double of what i used to in my business in half a year only.
Nice going!! Love it :D
I don't want to be rich I just want to live comfortably without worrying, that's what most of us want.
I think that's the most dangerous and unfulfilling state. One of the reasons why I was depressed
Me tooooooo
Life is easier when you're already rich, i don't need to care about paycheck every single day.
I prefer to be rich. Always why'd you click on this video talkin about getting rich? 🤔
Almost 10 years later and this still true..
Not only owning your own creations, but learning how to own other people's creativity--that's where the money is.
+Todd Boothbee Wow so deep man! :) I just love to read and listen to wisdoms and I say you both are right :)
Been reading the comments n it trips me out how many people dont realize the value ur giving them in these short minutes. I appreciate this video and ur time man. Especially ur meditation video. Im a network marketer and I must say ur 100 percent right on with all you said. Keep it up man.
I just fucking hate when people tell me to "follow my dreams". Bitch they're called dreams for a reason...
Leo Ajredini Then do not follow your dreams, follow the money.
I have a lot of hobbies: and if I did them I would be "following my dreams" but they have value to me more than most others. So I DO NOT follow my dreams, I instead set them up to lose as little money as possible and be funded by things I am either indifferent on or don't hate.
You can go broke following your dreams if there is no market support: on the other hand if you follow the money and value you can get it to fund your dreams just fine.
+Leo Ajredini LOL
Wow, Fantastic! I couldn't agree more. when I stopped allowing "things" (old habits, old friends, bad intellectual concepts) control me and took responsibility for my life. Everything changed for the better. I got fired, lost a parent, lost my hearing, yet I refused to let "circumstances" dictate to me what my life was going to be....started a business, opened my mind, learned new concepts regarding who I really am, Life couldn't be better....why are there so many negative people watching your videos and commenting, I would think they would have better things to do...like continuing being "victims" !! there are a lot more entertaining things to watch on youtube, go figure?

Are YOu Rich ? Because you know all the traits to be Supa Rich ?
Na just study things on you tube and listen to what other people say
You just blew my mind. I have watched a few of your videos and started to feel a gradually escalating sense of fear. But you just said what had been gnawing at my mind. The fear is of one's own potential. Taking responsibility for one's life is true power.
Your describing my past job, I always had great ideas but they were never implemented til later and said to be someone else's idea. I later realised I was an INTJ and have left. I have always loved inventing and creating since I was a child but I never sought finance from it, I have now changed my motive and strive to become an entrepreneur.
Good!
Your describing? What?!
Almost brought tears to my eyes brotha! Thank you, I’m putting my 2 weeks in today! I’m a creator, not a competitor!
+Actualized.org
Man, you are the best.....thank you. I have been watching your videos for a few months now, and I have to say, that you have helped me out so much. You have made my life better and infused value into it. I really don't know how else to say this: but thank you so much!
Keep doing the awesome work and posting more videos! 😃😃😃
Welcome :)
Actualized.org Dude, have you ever been told you look like the DEVIL, you look PURE EVIL!!!! Please don't be offended, then again, it just might be a compliment to you. I shiver and quiver, just looking at you. Please don't put a spell on me for saying this.
LENOVOVO wtf? Lol are you a troll?
jagjit bhatia no dude, LOL, not at all, I'm about one of the nicest person you'll ever know ... LOL ... :-) I was just saying he just looks evil, that's all ... LOL ... if I offended you, I do apologize, anyways have a great day dude! :-)
Umm....you didn't offend me lol.....I don't take offense that easily. But, I thought you were just messing around.
I've heard a lot of definitions of becoming rich, but this one seems the best, that's the right thing, straight to the point! Love this channel, good job!
The day you take FULL responsibility of your life, is the day your life and your perspective of the world changes.
This video motivated me to sell drugs .
good one
sad. didn't you listen?
Thirdeyewarrior Well, in his defense Leo didn't say anything about creating value through legal means.
Great, during this prohibition inqusition lots of people need medicine etc. Or you are selling poison to whomever. There's a huge difference here ya guys ever consider this? :D
Make it sell it
Brilliant videos. Subscribed :)
This is hands down the best self-improvement channel on CZcams.
Thank You
I was looking for a video that teaches me how to start a business and/or start making physical changes to my everyday life so that it can make me wealthy. But what I forgot to do was to link wealth to health. A person cannot expect difference while thinking the same and doing the same things. This is the definition of insanity. I forgot that to make a change in my life, I must make a change in my way of thinking. Your video helped me realize that I do have potential as a creator. I am a musician. I would love to create melodies and songs to help people along their life, sorta like your videos do. And lately, I haven't been feeling very talented when I know I indeed am. Thanks for the little push! I will continue to watch your videos :)
14:00 The moment Leo turns into Heisenberg
im sorry but a creator? I created two kids and im now very poor :/
Try creating something you can legally sell ;)
I can legally sell my children rite lol (by the way this is a joke)
omg that was funny as fuck
Bob Parker
You should have a life
SO WHY ARE YOU ALIVE? ( we know why but...) WHY DO YOU WANT TO STOP HUMAN EXISTANSE???( there is over 7billions people in eart but yeah...) B-but how are you gonna do the you know? ( oh ok, with condoms and shit and its the safe way i know)
Thank you Leo. Your info is so valuable with just few mins on you tube, i can find a quick answer to dayli circumstances. I can't wait to get into more details about your knowledge on the course.
I am honestly so glad I found you today at 2 am. I was tossing and turning and couldn't sleep. You give great advice! My husband and I are always talking about starting a business together this has definitely motivated me and I feel excited! :)
The comments are very eye opening here..O.o Reallly people?
I feel everyday like I under achieve, as if I should be more, I'm smarter and more in connect with how things work than anyone I know. I feel that with a push and maybe a decent idea that will stick, possibly something original I could make it in life and get where I deserve to be. Can you give any advice to someone who (firstly understood you in this video, and agrees) to pick themselves up from the ground and climb the ladder to success?
I don't mean to sound arrogant but I do feel that I can somehow offer the world something that will change my life and others. I just can't quite piece together what I need to do... I'm sorry if this isn't much to go off, I'm still collating in my head what neiche markets and opportunities I can take advantage of.
Damn, no response?
That's fucked up...
Thanks for the video man. Great job! Keep up the good work!
"i am not wrong, you are wrong" = favorite part. great video Leo, it's all about taking 100% responsibility! let's go!
Or.... Just be an extremely lucky son of a bitch and win a lottery ticket
Lukas Kabaciauskas XD Yeah but the chances of that are pathetic! Better to go get what you want!
Lukas Kabaciauskas As i understand you don't mention becoming rich. You are talking about having money or some piece of paper you didn't even work for it. Just think about when you win that lottery.
Hahahaha.. But seriously, winning the lottery is extremely useless if you don't know how to manage your money. You may have a great time (I hope it lasts for years instead of months) but you will get back were you are. In one sentence, it's dangerous for most people.
I'm 19 with poor aggregate and passion for luxury life. I'm one lazy student with a beautiful imagination. Deep inside I'm very creative and just couldn't express my feelings out. I'm stuck with ego and inferiority. Help me get vision, what advice do you propose?
rahul reddy What are you studying?
If it supports your creative mind , stick with it.
If it doesn't, then maybe change and study something that will propel you to the next level and excite you by allowing your creativeness to blossom.
Maybe this will help motivate you and you won't feel so lazy.
Having a passion for the luxurious life will be secondary if you can tap into what it is that excites your soul. Yes luxuries are nice but they don't always fulfill you like you may think or are lead to believe in movies etc.
Life is very short and will pass so quickly. Find your passion and do what you love and enjoy your creative life and be happy while you can.
The first thing a person needs to combat ego and inferiority is to humbly admit it like you have just shared right here.Thats an amazing feat on your behalf and I congratulate you on your awareness and honesty.
I think you are wise enough and old enough to move through the veils of illusion called ego and inferiority if you want to.
Most people your age suffer with these same afflictions. I know I did and so did a lot of friends I had at that age.
You could join a creative group and meet like minded people, or something new you that you would like to try out, this could help you if you start with an open mind.
But first of all I would start to meditate and calm your mind and strengthen your inner love and acceptance for yourself.
Then work on your inner and outer self in a kind understanding manner and gently strengthen whatever it is that makes you feel inferior.
Some people have to do this their whole life, so take it easy and enjoy the discoveries you make.
You may only have to do this for a short while before you see an improvement /insight or it may take a while. Its all ok just be patient with yourself and realise it all begins with the first step for your journey of growth and insight to unfold.
This crazy world we live in can be like a lunatic asylum. You can choose to be a patient in it or choose to be a Doctor.
Would you care what the patients thought of your clothes or your looks?
Would you care if they hated you and swore at you for no other reason other than they wanted to because they had lost their minds?
No you wouldn't, you could handle it because you understand and know they are mentally unstable etc.
Well, this world we live in is like a big asylum sometimes, so when you feel inferior or your ego flares up, remember this and it will help give you some perspective and strength to see it for what it is. This in turn will help balance out your ego and feelings of inferiority and you can stay balanced and strong within yourself .
Your ego can be a defence mechanism when you don't really know or understand your self worth as a human being. By meditating and tuning into the endless pure love you naturally contain, you will gain an inner peace and wisdom. This is like a light, and darkness, your negative reactions and thoughts, cant stay there if you turn it on. There will be no room for ego and inferior feelings and thoughts once you master this.
Living in this modern world were we are bombarded with advertising in all it's mind twisting forms. Along with the different societal and cultural pressures, that can also help to destroy your self esteem.
Be aware of this and see it for what it is. Be yourself and remember you are a magical human being and very lucky to be on this amazing planet experiencing this life.
Always count your blessings and be greatful for what you have, no matter how small, for there are many people worse off than you.
Enjoy your own unique journey, enjoy learning and finding the answers that lay within yourself, its all there you just have to connect with it. :-) xoxo
Jasmin W Awesome tips mate, your ideals seems familiar to mine. I've always been alone, in isolation I would contemplate reality and the order of things. I developed an interest for philosophy and religion, and would then began to pursuit truth. My perspective on the world began to change, I do not know if it is a super-ego or if it is wisdom, but I began to view humans like monsters. Our ways have destroyed earth and it's inhabitant, our greed have devour it's resources, and our hate separates us from animals and humans alike. I have not found truth yet, I am not certain if I will. My mind is still clouded with the delusions of the world..I'm still attached to it's pleasure..I live in a very dark world..One that is very real, but depressing to those who can view it. How can one be happy in this world?
Hello Trungalow, Well it sounds like you need to get out in the sun more. Im not sure were your living but by the sounds of it " a very dark world" Im guessing maybe your in an under ground bunker or maybe a deep cave? You really need to get out and see the light of day. Hehe, Im only joking.
Well I am about the under ground bunker and cave part but not the sun part :-)
The rays from the sun feed your body with Vitamin D as you may know.
And if we don't get enough of this vitamin everyday we get depressed and other health issues will arise.
It will immediately help your perception of this world once you get enough of it. You may need to do it for a week or less, Just 1/2 hr a day sunbaking in the morning or afternoon before you start to fill up on it and feel the benefits but it is worth it.
Humans have never spent so much time indoors.
I know what you mean about perceiving humans as monsters etc, I agree and understand. I also went through that stage.
I don't think it is the super ego that makes one feel and think this way, maybe disillusionment with humanity and when you focus on it to long. Combine that with your personal experiences with humans etc.
There are good apples and bad apples all thrown into the same barrel. Its hard not to be effected by the bad apples if they are rotting right next to you or around you.
Our media also loves to push the bad apples down our throats. With news, movies and games. So is it any wonder we think the world is full of them.
Buy watching, reading, seeking out positive things like this vid were you have posted and connecting with good people, it will help you balance out your perspective on humanity.
You have found truth. You recognise that humans are destroying our planet for greed etc. Will it ever stop?, I don't think so, not for a while anyway. But by recognising this you can become part of the solution instead of the problem.
By being aware and doing whats right for our beautiful planet and all its inhabitants, you will vibrate on a more positive level and this will verberate outwards helping others to achieve this also.
This is the ultimate truth, living in harmony with our fellow man and planet.
Its a utopian dream I know but what a beautiful utopia it would be.
They say dream big :-)
You asked me, how can one be happy in this world?
Well, Start with yourself by putting wholesome organic food into your body. Thats the fuel that will keep you firing on all cylinders. Add minerals, vitamins and oil supplements because our soils are extremely depleted of these. Cut out processed foods, sugar, tobacco, strong alcohol etc, you get my drift.
If you are not already doing this for your body, you need to start asap. Prevention is better than cure.
Let your food be your medicine and your medicine be your food.
You will notice a happier feeling coming from within once you respect your body this way.
Then balanced exercise, yoga what ever you like and plenty of fresh air.
Connect with nature like bush walking as much as possible.
Meditate.
Then take the time to find your passion and let your soul get lost in it. This is called being in the zone and its an awesome feeling. Nothing else matters once you've found something you love that much.
By balancing your Body, Mind and Spirit you will be on the track to achieving an inner happiness.
Its when we neglect these things we can suffer.
It all may not be within your reach for some reason. Like finances, experience, living situation etc but you learn how to over come these obstacles with time and perseverance. Thats what this journey called life is all about, its like a game really. And you can make it as simple as you like or as complicated as you like with your knowledge.
If you find you are stressing over this game, its time to do the things I mentioned above and work towards finding the equilibrium that suits your soul, so you can experience the happiness you desire :-)
Trungalow, I am an inquisitive person by nature, so I hope you don't mind me asking you, what you ment when you said that you have you always been alone?
And why do you live in a dark world that would be depressing to those who view it ?
Knowing this would help me have a better understanding of you, so I can help more and I don't repeat things you already know. Thank you :-)
Jasmin W A healthy lifestyle is exactly what I'm missing O.o, Ever since I graduated from High-School- I locked myself up in my room and didn't communicate with any of my friends. I was "fake" as a teen, and even though I had a lot of friends, no-one care, I was alone then, I just didn't know it. As I became older, I tried to change myself and became a humanistic , I believed that everyone should develop a strong philosophy that strives for the better good. Those with a religion that claim they have truth, I would debate with them- I just wanted to learn from everyone I meet- I would always ask questions about life, truth, and reality.Eventually, they got tire of me and left, now I'm alone and I know it. I began to resent the human race for not acknowledging me - Society turns a blind eye on those that can't make it laugh.I know I'm too serious, but life to me isn't a game..it is a prison sentence, we are confine to this body that is force to eat another living body...reality is cruel. There is so much I've not yet understand. I do not hate who I am, I wouldn't have this kind of perspective I now carry, unless I experience all that. Everything just seems interesting but no-one can understand. When I go to church, everyone seems delusional. When I meet people, everyone seems "fake". I'm not asking for much but if you drop your wallet, I would return it to you. Why can't the world do that? Why do people fight over pieces of land? Why are people unable to work together for the better good? Why do they still discriminate upon themselves?
I'm not sure if I'm depress, but I will definitely take your advise for a healthier lifestyle, I have not worked out in such a longgg time.
Hi Trugalow :-) You have gained some good knowledge from all your seeking.
What I have found from doing the same is it can go around and around and around but then you will come across something that makes sense to your soul at that moment in your life.
These times will happen to people like you and I because we are seekers of the truth in many ways.
Most people are fake when they are teenagers because they don't know deeply enough about themselves. And thats ok because they will learn. Life has a way of teaching you wether you like it or not.
When your a teenager you dont know what to look for to help yourself develop wisdom. Unless someone shows you or you stumble across something yourself.
I was lucky, my parents took me to meditation classes when I was 10 yrs old.
That gave me a new perspective on my mind and religion and opened my views up about different forms of spirituality.
The classes were held by a Guru's disciple. The Guru's name was Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. He was the guru that taught the "Beetles" the sixties band, how to meditate.
Yes we can feel alone in this life if we don't have much support. But you would be surprised at the support your family, friends and even strangers may offer you if you really needed them.
Sometimes it can take a disaster for you to see how much they love and care about you.
Why? well most people are busy in life or busy in their head and if they see that your eating and breathing they think you are fine :-)
Do you have good support from your family?
If you don't I understand. It still never hurts to speak to them about your feelings. They have been through a lot already in life and learned some valuable lessons that they can pass onto you.
You say you are too serious, well you are just a deep thinker and that is very appealing to people that think the same way.
Yes life does seem like a prison sentence at times. I think it can seem worse if you don't have much support around you and you not doing what you love, your passion.
There are as many idea's and perspectives on life, spirituality, love etc as there are people on this planet because everyone has a slightly different upbringing and experiences in life to shape their conclusions on these matters.
So it can be hard sometimes to mesh with people because of these differences.
But thats the downside if you like. The upside is it never really gets boring because everyone has a different story to tell and the older people get the more interesting their stories are because they have experienced a lot.
Hahaha, when you go to church everyone seems delusional. Thats it, they are drunk on the holy spirit man. Well thats what some of them say.
I have found the same thing with ALL religions. No matter what they are.
I think it's because people give up their minds and bodies to that religion and get lost in it. They replace there thoughts and personality for the book they follow.
Anyone following a religion etc like that do seem delusional, except to the other people that are in their group :-)
You can find your own truth. You take what you like from all the religions and teachings and use what fits for you.
This gives you the power, not the religion or its leaders.
This is what I have done and it suits me. Because some things in these books I like and others I don't believe in, so I am not bound by them, as say someone that is faithfully following the bible may feel they have to, in order to be a true christian for example.
Because we all have different minds like I was saying before, thats why not everyone is "good". There are as many different levels of goodness as there are people. So it makes it confusing sometimes as to why another human will do what they do.
I do the same with wallet example you gave.
It was two days before christmas and I saw a guy leave his wallet on the roof of his car. So I turned my car around and tried to catch up to him to alert him of this. He got further and further away from me and I had my eyes peeled on the road looking for his wallet as I was driving. Then a big bend came and it must of slide off there because it was now laying on the side of the road. So I jumped out and picked it up and looked inside.
It had $200 in it, his licence and a work payslip with his name on it.
I new the Restaurant were he worked and thought maybe thats were he was going if he was a waiter or chef because it was getting on in the afternoon and those professions get things ready early for the customers to start coming in for dinner etc. So I drove to the restaurant and sure enough he was there. He was a barman and he was going to buy christmas presents for his little daughter with the money the next day. It really makes you feel good to help a fellow human being out like that.
Anyway, Im glad your not feeling depressed and yes please look after that amazing body you have while your young. You only have one of them and its hard to get spare parts :-)
All the best, and if you ever want to talk with me about anything just post me and I will do my best. It might take a while sometimes because I live in Australia and our times are different. By for now Trugalow :-) xoxo
i just set new aims... starting from the last one > buy a McLaren > marry a very beautiful woman > be rich > create something awesome > have the knowledge to create that from the university i graduated > graduate school with good marks > start studying now > thank u man!!
Good, except nowhere on that list did you say "to feel happy and at peace", which is actually what you're after. Don't just assume that a wife or a McLaren will make you happy, cause actually they won't. That will take lots and lots of very deep inner work. So make sure you add that to the list ;) That is... if you want to feel happy. Otherwise your list sounds nice and ambitious -- which I dig :)
Wonderful video & powerful information. I just discovered you & I look forward to watching more of your videos. Ya had me when you said your name was Leo. LOL that's my sign and my old puppies name. You are awesome!
im 42 years old I started saving 20 dollars everyday from the age of 20 i did the math then and mutiplied 20x365 days x 20 years = $144,000 i obviously did not make $20 consistantly everyday but i tried and i saved it. At the age of 40 i quit my job and got a part time job. I made 117,000 about there saving $20 everyday for 20 years. I work part time now 4 times a week and the money that I make I use to spend and i still save to. I live a chilled life I go out have kids vacations. Its so easy to make money.
That's some impressive saving. But saving is actually a poor strategy for becoming rich. It's better to focus on creating value, that way the sky's the limit. This can be a paradigm shift. I know I love being cheap, but I've also consciously now recognized that it's holding me back from my full wealth potential. So I focus now on creating value and not sinking time and worry into penny-pinching.
I agree im not saying its the only alternative I just always wanted something I could count on.
Actualized.org Saving and being cheap is not a good way to be rich but it is a fantastic way to survive on a limited budget. I know families with extremely low incomes but they can afford food for all their children and pay their bills because they find great deals and grocery stores. 20 years down the line, if you save a little at a time, you will be moderately "rich".
PeaceLoveFairytales That's a poverty mindset. That kind of thinking is losing those people millions of dollars in potential income and keeping them poor. You have to be proactive with making money, not defensive.
Actualized.org
You're so right Leo!
he becomes rich while he teaches us how to be rich
Thank you so much, Leo. Your videos are so awesome and helpful.
6:39 just laughed my ass off right there:) love the vid.
does creating involves buying a lottery ticket? That's how an acquaintance of mine became rich lol
Fuck no!
lol
I have terrible luck with lottery tickets and scratch-offs so I don't play anymore. All I have to say is budget and be frugal with your money.
you can use the POWER OF STOCKS AND LOANS!!!
Sorry but Actualized.org, I agree 100% with pretty much everything in this video but I have to disagree on that point. Why the hell shouldn't jtrdesign7 win the lottery? If we are creating our reality in every moment, why shouldn't his/her reality include winning the lottery! jtr, go buy a lottery ticket and win millions my friend if that's what you want to create in your life. My only advice would be, don't sit and wait for it and do nothing. Write yourself a check. Put it in the back of your wallet, dated say a year from now and just leave it to the universe. In the meantime, go out and create a great life for yourself.
This sounds good, but it's not really true. The richest people aren't creators--they capitalize on things other people create. Example: the personal computer used to be just a toy for geeks, with its command user interface, where you had to memorize all the commands to get it to do anything. It only took off after Apple came out with the Mac, with its Graphical User Interface (GUI), where you could point and click. Bill Gates copied it to make Windows, and Apple sued him, but lost. But Apple didn't create the GUI--it was invented by some engineer at Xerox Park, and Steve Jobs ripped it off. The guy who created it didn't get rich--the guys who ripped it off and capitalized on it did. There are lots of other examples, but I don't have the space to give them.
Bill Gates started creating when he was 12 years old. Jobs started young too.
You fail to appreciate how much of a creator Bill Gates and Steve Jobs were long before the GUI came along. You also fail to recognize business dealings, negotiating, and "stealing" as creative work. To "steal" an idea successfully is no easy thing. To create and market an organization like Microsoft or Apple is an incredible feat of creation. Marketing is often harder than the actual product-creation phase. And marketing is a creation in-itself.
Yes, you MUST own your creation if you want to get rich off it. Creating something for a company isn't gonna cut it in most cases. And yes, if you let others steal your work, then you will not be rich, they will.
But look at Microsoft and Apple as companies. Are they not 2 of the most creative, prolific companies in the world? Look at how many products they have. Look at how many new things they launch. Look at how many patents they file. Look at how useful their products are. Look at how much people love their creations. Are they sometimes unfair and "evil", yes! All corporations are. But on the whole, they create on a massive scale. Most companies never create so much and so they aren't worth as much.
Actualized.org I agree with a lot of what you say. I think it comes down to the ability to RECOGNIZE which ideas will take off and how to incorporate them into a finished product and make them click, whether you or someone else created them. I think that was Steve Jobs' primary talent. Most of the ideas he chose to invest his time and capital developing became hits. If you create a lot of things or ideas but don't have a good ability to recognize which ones will take off and how to make them do so, you'll waste your time and capital on too many duds and won't get rich.
Bob Crestwood Yes, this is basically called business savvy and marketing. Many talented creators are poor because they refuse to learn marketing. I struggled with this for a long time. Then I said, "Fuck this! I need to learn how to market!" And so I did. It is true that a good creation by itself may not be successful without solid marketing. And marketing is more than just running ads. Marketing is about understanding what people are actually willing to pay money for. The ultimate formula for huge profits is: remarkable product + strong marketing. Many people get this wrong by thinking, "I'll just focus on product. Or, I'll just focus on marketing." You need both.
Leo, when you said what you said at 14:07, you rocked my soul. Thank you. (Discovered your channel today and hooked!)
Hi Leo, I like watching your videos, your voice and delivery is great - just want to say thanks for the videos. :)
I,m not a creator, I started at selling milk in small shop, then in larger shops, then mine shops, then in whole countrys and my milk is one of the best on whole Balkan and other places.
So you created a massive distribution system for quality milk and you don't see yourself as a creator?
Actualized.org sorry I didn,t watched video to the end, now I see that I,m creator.
But I,m not still rich I haven,t got to a million dollars (or euros in mine country)
Link Jackass ''my milk is one of the best on whole Balkan''
Well that isn't a very high bar...
Job M Balkan has about 45 million so I don,t think thats low bar
Link Jackass In quality.
so much frickin negativity in this comment box, am i the only who gets this?
Thanks for the video, Leo. You are totally spot on with the importance of taking control over our own lives. I take your message to heart, and hope others will too. Having viable excuses that you can sell yourself on is totally debilitating, and is the opposite road to achieving success no matter what success means to you (relationships, money, health, etc...).
I totally agree with you. it's the first time to know you, Leo. I'll watch your videos ever day from now on
If this works how much do you make per year?
bro you look like a talking lightbulb no offence
😂😂Haha
+The account that's offensive, he's trying to go for that vampire look.
Leo, I was always so awkward to comment on videos but after watching your videos I could not help myself! You deserve more views and more likes and I am REALLY glad i came across Actualized.org... I thoroughly enjoy watching your videos and I have actually started to make more effort my life, all thanks to your videos. You are great at what you do! I feel inspired!
Thanks! :)
I often run into idiots who think they know it all....but you do know it all! you actually use real psychological terms to make people understand themselves
Basically become an inventor..invent something useful case close
Steven Rojas You do not even need to be an inventor, you can do the following:
*help connect people who wont connect them self
*deliver s solution to an undeserved local market that is proven to work some where else by someone else
Basically are you providing something someone else needs or wants at a price they want to pay for it, and that you can fund doing it on?
TheShowThatSUX I agree in a sense of value, which would equal money. Big moves more money, little moves, little money. But value is based on the target marketed audience....some may value the same as different. But, as far as generating sure cash, I would only associate that with something that anyone can use and most average can afford..... spectacular well, that is marketing items to the rich, then I believe you would have to have capital and a strong network base (in person, social media, or parents friends at the country club).
Dianna Dianna I know 3 stores that tried that model and FAILED: they were not solving a problem, they were chasing money.
If you want sustainable wealth YOU SOLVE a problem. Can be a small or big market: the important thing is your solution has value to the people who need it. Coke solves a problem: in that people were thirsty for a coke and willing to pay the $1 to $5 for it.
No one needs a coke, but it solves a problem none the less... USE is very subjective and there is not accounting for taste.
***** My standard reply to a program like that. So how do I pay you for the program out of the profit from using it?
If it is that good: me giving you a % of anything I make is worth more than what you would charge now...
Damn dude I'm sorry but you're responses to comments are just nasty. Don't you know that some of your watchers don't understand your concepts? You don't need to make them feel stupid. Another commenter shared his tips on saving money that he was clearly happy with, then you completely shut down his whole system by saying it's not smart. Makes me second guess taking your life advice, and I mean this in a constructive way, not in an asshole way.
In the context of becoming rich, saving money is a bad strategy. I have nothing against saving money as a general strategy. I personally save lots of money, but I don't rely on it to make me rich. Income makes you rich, not penny-pinching.
I say things bluntly sometimes because that's what wakes people up. I could act all Buddha-like, but then you guys don't learn the lessons sometimes.
***** wow you guys are very sensitive. This guy actually talks business and you guys just find ways to attack some decent wisdom!!
Awesome talk Leo. I knew you must of also studied from Jim Rohn. I love some of the profound ideas he left for this world which is "Formal education will make you a living; self-education will make you a fortune. By working harder on yourself than you do on your job."
Great stuff Leo!!
I've been into personal growth for many years and it seems that everything you produce comes at a subject from a different angle than I'm accustomed to understanding. On this subject it is the matter of choice.
Few people understand that everything they have and don't have in life is the result of their choices. They choose to be a victim, they choose to be poor and they choose to have a poor love life. Life is just one continuous sequence of choices that we can not avoid. If we are living and not unconscious, we are constantly choosing.
Some people will think "I didn't choose this bad thing in my life!", but actually they did. Choice is inevitable. We can't avoid choice and everything we have is the result of those choices. Still scoffing? YOU CAN NOT AVOID CHOICE!! Choice is the building block of our lives. We can't avoid choice because - ignoring, putting off, or avoiding a choice - IS A CHOICE!! The last thing we will consciously do in life is make a choice whether it is to close our eyes or lay down or say goodbye, we WILL make a choice. It's the last thing any of us will do, and all of us will do. Choice is the only thing we have no choice over.
We WILL choose.
Once we realize that life is a continuous sequence of choices we take away the power others have over us. We choose to live where we do under the laws we obey. We choose to work for a rotten person, and we choose not to exert ourselves towards a better life. Everything is a choice. Power is a choice and when we take control of our choices we choose to take power over our lives.
BRUH one word ONE WORD
thx
That's like..half a word? 😂

Makes me wonder if i want to be rich... I mean look at them :)
I prefer to stay middle class and live a happy life.
He is richest who is content with the least, for content is the wealth of nature.

"Become a millionaire, not for the money, but for what it will take of you to achieve it." -- Jim Rohn
Actualized.org Socrates vs Jim then.
The name and fame of the 1st survived for 2 milleniums. I heard about the 2nd today.
rurounisld Stop running on group-think and start using your own head.
Actualized.org Its was my original thoughts , i just needed someone with credability to quote.
Billionaires are neither content or moral beings.
So, why would you want to become a millionaire. To detach your self from the middle class society( the majority of the population).

I LOVE this! What a great find of a video :) This such a great reminder that you must be able to maximize any single opportunity that is presented to you to obtain control of the direction you are wanting to go. And then build, build, build! Or create, create, create! I need to remind myself that I need to MAKE TIME for my endeavors in order to capitalize on them. Thanks again for the vid and encouragement!
Hey Leo, can you make a video on Selling and the psychology and the mindset of what makes a successful salesperson, love your videos, please keep them coming!
Blah why couldn't I just be born rich already or adopted by Angelina Jolie?😞
If you're an adorable 3rd world baby the second option might work ;)
My aunt is like you say, a "Creator". She is her own boss. All she does is draw paintings and sells them. She gets about 300 dollars PER MONTH. She has the shittiest house I have ever seen. And her paintings are amazing, and she is a "Creator" still she is really bad paid.
Maybe you are about to say "She needs some time before getting rich and wealthy."-Nope, she is older than 50, doing the same lame job as always.
My mom, who got good grades in school now gets 1700 per month (which is great). So please don't give people false hopes that being a "Creator" we will eventually become rich. I believe there are only few ways to become wealthy:
-Studiying A LOT and get into a good college;
-Win the lottery;
-Be born rich;
You shouldn't bother watching Leo's videos because you're so negative,Tiago.
PAUL brandel
correction: I used to be negative, BUT NOT ANYMORE
Thank you Leo. You just described my life. You just changed the course of my personal history. I know I have the potential to create, I have been afraid for so long. Limiting beliefs kept me back. Worried about where the money will come from. Where the ideas will come from. Idealize how ppl become successful when in fact they produce because of a simple concept....using your life is a base to collect ideas and build your brand from there. Thank you, thank you....you saved my life today.
This inspired me to get out and promote my mixtape even more. Thank you for the inspiration.
are you rich ?
Foreal show us them stacks n that big house n cars
I'm quite comfortable, thanks!
Actualized.org the only way u become rich is selling this bullshit to people who wanna know the "secret" how to become rich. Show us your own results before selling this crap to us.
Dmitriy Tsoy that is so mean
Actualized.org i like some of your video about emotion control. but what you just said would disappoint subscriber of yours. .................................................................................. I quote "+Dmitriy Tsoy I exited two million dollar industries to start this channel. If I wanted to bank money, I sure as hell wouldn't have picked personal development. You CZcams motherfuckers are cheap and poor and have the attention span of retarded chipmunks on crack."
Is this guy even rich?
PuertoRican If he practices what he preaches here: give him 10 years and odds are he will be.
+PuertoRican yes
Thank you Leo! For sharing! big up, big hug! keep it going. all the best for you!
I just needed to say how much I love the thumbnail of this video !😁
Your intentions may be good trying to convince people there are no real, tangible reasons that everybody can't be rich, but try telling that to people in Ethiopia.
I didn't say everyone will be rich. I said if YOU want, YOU can be rich. Even in Ethiopia.
Most people who end up rich are born into it. 1% of the world controls most of its wealth. Capitalism is out of control, and the wealthy only end up becoming more wealthy. Over the past few decades, this has just escalated. It is possible to be well off, but near impossible to become super rich if you're not a Trump or a Hilton etc. Unless you are extremely lucky to invent a product or service that becomes successful, but those people are few and far between. You are doing well though, Leo, trying to encourage people not to be limited by things they actually are able to overcome though. We can mostly do better than what we think we can :)
+Angela Harford Stop being so negative! Take your negativity to another channel! Or listen and apply the strategies given here, become rich yourself and help the people in Ethiopia yourself since you feel so strongly about the poor!
+Angela Harford Stop being a victim, that's what's holding you back from reaching your true potential.
+Angela Harford if you think that becoming rich in Ethiopia is impossible, and you want to become one, then leave Ethiopia.
Let's see your Bank Statements.... might as well watch a video about building a house by a guy that can't build a house.
batmmannn He is pretty dead on with the core concept. Foundation for 5+ cash positive biz I run/own.
What he says as it applies to many of my biz:
STEP 1: what task needs to be done
STEP 2 : what is the value produced from the talk alone
STEP 3 : if this value is insufficient to fund the task being done again from the proceeds of the task, what additional value or so on can it be coupled with to make the talk Vs return self sustaining
You also confuse WEALTH with RICH. By your logic some one with a $1Million bank balance that is decreasing at a rate of 8% per time interval is more wealthy than someone who has a $2K bank statement increasing at a rate of 40% per same time interval.
Here is the thing 16 time intervals down the road the guy you want to follow is poorer than the one you ignore. And it only gets worse from there.
TheShowThatSUX I don't follow, perhaps it's you that is confused.
Batmmannn What specifically do you not follow?

*How To Become Rich? - change your thinking through this book >>> **plus.google.com/u/4/+AMZSellerHotGirl/posts/hkzoF8CFVxd** .*
Becoming rich takes a lot and you have to really want it to go through with it and follow up and make those sacrifices. You can understand how to realistically do it without personally wanting to go down that path. Not all coaches of things want to actually do it themselves, but they have the knowledge to guide someone that does.
Amazinggg video, just started my a new business and was loosing hope please somebody suggested you, you have taught me a lot and now have a new follower!!
Bravooooo
I think this was insightful and to the point. Good work, keep it up. This is the first one of your vids I have seen. :-).
"Poor people are not creators" Wow, this video is truly a regurgitated piece of garbage. A lot of amazing artists, musicians, writers, and philosophers were considered POOR PEOPLE my friend. Making CZcams videos that don't really tell people anything beyond what they could read in a 12 step book is NOT creative.
Yes, there are poor artists. they have a different problem. Their problem is that they don't understand business or marketing. I will make a separate video on that.
Very good video, Leo. Thanks for posting this.
"The reason that you're not more successful is because of you... Afraid of you're own potential..." Eye-opening. Gave me chills...
Awesome video! Thank you for putting this out there.
THIS HELPED ME SO MUCH!
I have been watching a few videos and reading the comments. I like and understand most of the things he is saying, in some of the comments, many are not applying this to their life. I am using the ideas and new information and basing it on my life and at my current position. Keep up the good work.
I totally agree with you!! I started my own business several months ago and I'm successful with it! I'm not rich yet, but I'm on my way :)
Excellent video. Honestly, I really thought this would be one of those get rich quick videos that permeate youtube and offer little information of value. But I have to say, this was very insightful. The psychology of it all, a persons way of thinking and the limits that we subconsciously impose on ourselves is something that I had really not considered before as being relevant.
Your psychology is the ONLY thing that is relevant. Everything else is background noise.
Thanks for sharing :)
Amen.
Wow Leo thank you for this I haven’t even watched this for 5 min but I’m already grateful cause you’re the mannnnn
Loving the point about taking responsibility, powerful stuff!
Been watching since
Don't rush into becoming this "creator" thing out of impulse right now after just watching this video. Even if you think your life sucks now, creating something useful or something that makes money can take months of planning and researching into what it is that you want to create. Too many business startups and inventions fail because people fail to properly plan their creations and end up in hundreds of thousands of dollars into financial debt. Dreams can turn into nightmares easily if you rush into things without proper planning.
Thank you ...Just what I needed to hear :)
Thanks for the information! Cheers!
Thank you for talking to me,and everyone that is hearing you,this was very helpfull..I will change my way of thinking.
awesome video man ...really motivated me ...thank you :)
You are the man Leo! The web needs more Leo's
You are absolutely right brah! I wonder how did you figure out all that stuff ,but it's awsome.
7:28 This is so true once I started creating what I was naturally interested in, rather than building tasks for an employer, my energy to wakeup and build everyday went up 10x
Hands down! By far the best advice one can use in order to become rich not only financially but also in values as an individual.
I just want to tell u thank u for opening my eyes
:) Thank you for these wonderful resources
Love it! Awesome video! Thanks for sharing.
You are really changing my life and my perspective 💙
Thank you very much for being honest with us ♥️
Thnx for your suggestions
Thanks! I needed to hear this. I hope my dream business will soon become a reality! :)
Leo Thank you so Much for your wisdom
Thanks Leo!!
I think to be rich is to be a creator , but totally not for people. Many rich people ( almost everyone in my opinion) don't care about people who buy the product or else . The only thing they care about is to get money for that. But I have to admit that I liked the video and it's really opened my mind .
Seek and you shall find indeed! This guy said everything that I had to hear. I have a couple aces up my sleeve, too. Great video.
Hi Leo, This the best video! What an eyeopener is this one! :-)
Great video. I work hard as hell and always get praised for how fast I catch on. The first time this ever happened was in the oilfield and many co-workers hated me for it and always told me to slow down and claimed I was trying to make them look bad. Unfortunately that came to an end due to lay off. But I was not handpicked. We all got f*****. The whole yard closed(Not the company)... I made it through multiple lay offs and ended up on a skeleton crew before that.
After having that job in which I was hoping to make a career, it ended.
On to the next job...
I felt after the previous job that I could do anything ( Already feeling that way before...). The new job that I acquired with no exp. had the same starting pay but with much less hrs is shit. The previous job paid 3x more take home (after: insurance, 401k and taxes.) They had great things to say about me as well. But they dont pay shit and there are guys making not much more than me (around 5 but up to 10 dollars more) that have been in it for 20-30 yrs. The problem is, some of them SUCK! I produce more than they do any day. That being said, this video is inspiring as hell and I feel I should be doing my own thing. Working for an employer is a joke. If I could figure out money barrier that keeps me from getting my own business I would gladly hire good workers and pay them better than the average. That is my goal. I dont necessarily want to get rich but be comfortable and make my workers feel proud to get paid more than the average. That is my dream. It must happen! This vid is helpful thank you much!
