S3 E5 “You Can Get With This, Or You Can Stay With That” - Building Wealth with Confidence and Self-Accountability

Mike & Anton - FBN Season 3 Episode 5

Unlock the secrets to transforming your financial mindset as we challenge the traditional views of wealth and poverty, drawing inspiration from the influential sounds and lyrics of hip-hop. Ever wondered how the wealthy think differently about money? Learn to embrace the mindset of a "Wealthian"—someone who leverages strategic concepts in stocks, real estate, and businesses for lasting financial growth. We take a deep dive into the contrast between wealth building and immediate spending, exploring how the underprivileged often face the harsh reality of necessity over abundance.

Building self-confidence is crucial for financial success, and we’re here to show you how self-accountability plays a pivotal role. From sticking to a financial plan to surrounding yourself with peers who challenge your spending habits, we emphasize the impact of keeping promises to yourself. Delve into the emotional ties that bind families with money and learn to view it as a form of energy that can be harnessed for positive transformation. Transitioning from a state of need to one of wealth begins with adjusting your mindset and realizing that money should work for you as much as you work for it.

In our exploration of growth over security, we unravel the tempting world of short sided strategies and the mindset shifts necessary for true wealth. Inspired by innovators like Bill Gates and Steve Jobs, discover the importance of taking calculated risks and aiming high. We discuss the double effort required for those striving to achieve privilege and the responsibilities it brings, even using Elon Musk in one example. By shifting perspectives, financial stress can become an opportunity, and with the right mindset, you can learn to thrive through such stress, rather than merely survive. Join us on this enlightening journey to harness the power of perspective in wealth-building. See You At The Bank!!! (SYATB)

Speaker 2:

you tuned into fbn and this is another episode of finance Bros Network and I am the one half of finance, Anton Lefwich, and this is Michael.

Speaker 1:

DePoe, your other half, and we are coming to you live with finance for everyday people. We are honored to be here and to be able to serve diverse communities as usual, as usual able to serve diverse communities. As usual, as usual, I know you got my back to always add that in brother.

Speaker 2:

That's my favorite part, brother hey man, hey, welcome, welcome everybody. Hey look today. Hey look, we've been bringing y'all some heat lately. Hope y'all been checking all the episodes. You know we've been putting some stuff out there. You know we want to take y'all on this journey with us and you know, of course, every week we brings something new and live and keeping it with the spirit of hip-hop. So I want to welcome everybody. Today we are focusing on getting rich or staying poor, hence the title of the show, and I know y'all remember this from back in the day. Some of y'all maybe not all y'all, but some of y'all gotta remember this from back in the day.

Speaker 2:

You can get with this or you can get with that you can get with this or you can get with that that's that song.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, we're making it happen, brother?

Speaker 2:

we basically switch it up a little bit, we saying you can get with this, which is getting rich, or you can stay with that which is.

Speaker 2:

You know, of course, we don't want to be in the same place we're at. If we're not in the place we want to be, which is right, as poor or under privileged or whatever. You want to be in the same place we're at. If we're not in the place, we want to be, which is right, as poor or underprivileged or whatever you want to call it. We want to get to a privileged status, so we want to move forward, all right. So we saying, basically, you can get with this, which is getting rich, or you can stay with that, all right, which is that way? We'd be poor, whatever.

Speaker 1:

That is really like, and it comes like this, it starts off Go ahead, play, here we go. Yeah, there you go, new York Transit Line.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, that's what I did Pick it up, Pick it up, hey, that's what that's hey that's what that's.

Speaker 1:

Hey, remember being in the club doing that. You know we. That's. That's what we do. That's what's up.

Speaker 2:

That's how we? We embrace hip-hop at fbn. Yeah, even if you ain't from that era, you gotta embrace that era.

Speaker 1:

You've got to, brother, and you know, and you know we wanted to go in and talk about this. We were having a little bit fun, but you know, we gonna, we gonna get into it. You know we're going to get into it. You know, it's like I wanted to amp it up and even talk about being a wealthian or being wealthy or staying as a necessitous. Now somebody is like a necessitous.

Speaker 2:

What is that? What is?

Speaker 1:

a necessitous FBN is pulling out the Webster Dictionary.

Speaker 2:

What is a necessitous?

Speaker 1:

Well, guess what? The word necessities comes from a french word with it, which is necessity, all right, and and even in the spanish language, which is him necesitos, or necesitas yeah, we're the only one that uses needy, so pretty much that's what the word needs is always in need.

Speaker 1:

So are we going to be a wealthy end, or are we going to be always in need and just for content? You know, this is like going back to church. We got to keep reminding our people what is a wealthy? And I'll just say the definition again a person capable of obtaining an abundance of value, possessions or money.

Speaker 2:

That's right, mike. We cannot forget the definition of who we are and why we do this. You know what I mean. Let us get into the nuts and bolts about this topic, of course. Now you know, rich people tend to view money as a tool for building and expanding. All right, it's a different mindset. All right, it's about finding ways to grow it, invest it and make it work for them. Alright, like planting seeds, for you know, planting seeds for more seeds to grow, right, often looking to put their money in places where it grows over time, like stocks, real estate or even, you know, other businesses all right.

Speaker 2:

So this is. It's this long game. It's never the short game. It's never about the oh, I gotta go get the, the new jordans that came out right now, because that's what's hot, that's what's hot right now, you know. So you got a lot of wealthy. They all you know. You always say, like it's a known thing you see, wealthy people might be on a transit in new york, right, they on the subway jeans t-shirt. You don't even know this dude worth 30 million dollars you know what I'm saying, so hey, look, go ahead.

Speaker 2:

I told you we averaging three t-shirts, episode right, all right. Those who got it ain't gotta talk about it. That ain't that the truth. And when you're great, when you're really great man, somebody else will let you know.

Speaker 1:

You don't have to be the one shouting it out, that's true and keeping it real, while our upi are underprivileged income, because you know we don't say that word no more. It's a bad word so that underprivileged income families often view money in terms of immediate needs, what you were just talking about.

Speaker 1:

You know, this is what I need right now. Money is there to pay the bills. Put food on the table and cover essential to pay the bills. Put food on the table and cover essential. But the wealthy people? They focus on putting money where it's going to grow, while our UPI income often needs to focus on getting the most immediate value out of each dollar. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1:

So, they're just looking to see okay, where can I put this money? Like the money comes in and they're rushing to put it in and that's the mindset right, and that's the mindset that we could probably have.

Speaker 2:

You know, we're trying to help our upis break out of yeah, and I mean, mike, it's about that sacrifice for right now, it's temporary sacrifice for permanent gain. All right, just going without these little things that really are not gonna mean anything in five, ten years.

Speaker 1:

Anyway them pair nike shoes that weren't gonna mean nothing in really like six months.

Speaker 2:

You know what I mean. Pay three hundred dollars for it too. Yeah, for real. Two hundred dollar pair of shoes. Why don't you go buy you 10 shares of nike how about that? And see what those? See what those are worth in 10 years.

Speaker 1:

Speak of it, you know what I'm saying, so it's that temporary second.

Speaker 2:

Again, this, we're talking about this this season of fbn. We're talking about the mindset, all right. So just keep in mind that that temporary sacrifice can always equal that permanent gain. And you know, mike, mike, like we were saying, you know mentality what rich individuals often have is that mindset of abundance. All right, they see money as something that can always be generated with the right strategy, skill or connection. All right, being an opportunist rich people are often comfortable with taking risks. Come on now, mike. Taking risks All day. All right, being an opportunist rich people are often comfortable with taking risks. Come on now. Yeah, mike, taking risks all day, all right.

Speaker 1:

All day.

Speaker 2:

Calculated risks on top of that. All right, because they're thinking long term Right, just saying Right, while those with you know, those of us with limited resources, may not have the room to gamble or maybe, you know, don't even have the, have not exercised that mental concept of abundance.

Speaker 1:

Yes, I mean that's huge.

Speaker 2:

You know, we, we it's, it's, it's a muscle, it's building the muscle right. That first time, taking that calculated risk, maybe it felt uncomfortable, but after a couple of times and you have this system which we already talked about. Go check out other episodes. System stands for save yourself time, energy and money. There you go and you got that confidence that when you make this move, two plus two equals four. I mean it just becomes like clockwork man.

Speaker 1:

That's it. That's it, that's it, and. And the other thing is for some wealthier people, for some wealthy people I'm saying wealthy, but for some wealthy people, rich people. Money is energy it's something yo money is energy. It's something to share, invest in, in, you know, in case uh, of something happening, or or put back it.

Speaker 1:

It's something that they're putting back into the world yeah, you understand what I'm saying so, uh, you know, when they get this money or when they make this money, you know they they go out and see what, how they could make the world grow. You know that's why you have wealthy people who become philanthropists, giving to charity, funding scholarship, building hospitals. Yeah, when do you hear our community doing that? Right, right, and building hospitals. When do you hear our community doing that, bro, right, right. You know, we got to figure that out, we got to grow into that, you know, and it's a legacy versus a necessity. Remember Necessitous, yeah.

Speaker 1:

And I'll say it again, it's a legacy versus a necessity. The wealthy people use money to leave a legacy, contributing to their community, while others may view money as a survival tool or providing a strong sense of family duty. You know how it is Go work and let's make this family strong, and and all that, and, and not even believing there's more than that to be a wealthy end absolutely because you it again, with the wealthy people, the rich people, they're putting it back into the community, they're putting it out into the world, right, right, and then it's coming back ten times fold.

Speaker 2:

Oh, absolutely, and that's energy you putting out there into the world, right, it's not just the. It's coming back ten times fold. Oh, absolutely, and that's energy you putting out there into the world, right, it's not just the, it's not just a tangible aspect, it's the, the feeling which goes into the spiritual of going out there and putting whether it's your time, your energy or your money out into the community, out into ideas and the connections and the relationships you're building out there. And just know that this constant flow of this thing that's being invested, whether it's any one of the three time energy or money not only does it build the people around us, does it build the communities around us, it builds up our own self-esteem too.

Speaker 2:

You know, what I'm saying. They say confidence. The best way to to build self-confidence is to keep a promise that we make to ourself. There you go. I mean. That's why, a lot of times, maybe, maybe we have like when we want to, uh, maybe if we want to go on a diet or something we don't tell nobody you know I mean then it's like then you're not looking at me crazy like anton bro, what you, what you doing with the snicker bar, bro?

Speaker 1:

I thought right, right, right, right you're trying to go on a little diet man.

Speaker 2:

Well, you know, just so.

Speaker 2:

So a lot of times we'll just keep it to ourself, right, because then we're not letting, we're not, we're not having, we're not having accountability attached to anything, right, right, and accountability can be a huge part of this too, mike, because as we, as we develop these peer circles that we, that we have in the things that we're doing, decisions we're making, that we have in the things that we're doing, decisions we're making Again, making investments, investing our time, investing money and things like that, you start tapping into these other circles, right, who are also doing the same thing.

Speaker 2:

Right, because, guess what, if you're eating cheese pizza every night and going to the same place Eating cheese pizza or whatever, it is Right, you're going to probably meet a whole lot of people who, well, what if we put ourselves in environments where now we're being challenged to save money, not buy the Nikes that just came out, just because this the hot thing right now? Right, and all of a sudden, at first it seems uncomfortable but then it's just normal. This is just what we do, right? All right, you know, I'm saying we get a little bit of change, we don't just go out, rush out and buy a bunch of things that aren't going to mean anything a couple of years from now.

Speaker 1:

Right, right. And you know something, anton? I was just thinking about this. You know, we started the first episode on a planner.

Speaker 2:

That's right. We started it on a planner, plan or die.

Speaker 1:

Right Plan or die. That was the title of the episode. Straight up Right, yeah, and I'm not sure, but I think insurance, and if it's not there, you can add insurance, or you can add savings Well, the saving is there, or something. It's there. You got it that could put you on. Do you get with this rich or do you stay with that poor? Yeah, for real man. That's true. I mean, the formulas are dead. You just have to take that ownership to do it, because stop complaining about oh look, I wish I was there or I wish I could do that. You have to be applicable to what you're talking about.

Speaker 2:

That's so real. Man Say that bro.

Speaker 1:

It's like we're here, we're coming on here and we're trying to help you guys out. We're trying to help you guys out, we're trying to help our upis out right, and we're trying to give you this season, we're trying to give you an emotional or spiritual, mental way of looking at stuff. Obviously the literal is the money, right, yeah, yeah, but but we're trying to show you, or we're trying to help you understand the mindset, what we just said in abundance yes, an emotional wake-up call, right to do it. So I don't know if you're hearing this from us or you know, sometime the universe has a way. Maybe you're gonna hear it from another podcast, or maybe you'll hear it from somebody who's talking to you like, take heed of that. It it's the universe telling you you have to change your mindset in order not to stay a necessitous. I love it, man.

Speaker 1:

Because, at the end, of the day, that's what it is. If you're not getting or building to become a wealthian, you are point blank a necessitous. So the opposite of a wealthian is a necessitous.

Speaker 1:

I'm claiming that right now, right, because we're gonna try to break that right, right, right, if you're if not, if you're not working, and remember what the definition uh uh of of of a wealthian was right a person capable. The key word here is capable. We never said you were rich. That's not the definition of a wealthian. It's capable. It's capable of obtaining an abundance of valuable possession or money.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, that's real talk, man, that's real talk. And look, I understand, upis, that you know money can feel almost sacred, all right, like it's part of the family strength. Yeah, all right, and part of our mission. We do want to strengthen families you know, I've been saying that, for we've been saying that for a long time yeah, yeah all right because you know, at the heart of it all you know, family is uh. Family is so close to us and a lot of times our big. Why is our family?

Speaker 2:

you know, and many families do, view money as a symbol of their hard work, their resilience and the sacrifices they've made. So it can be a struggle, right, all right, but you have to start believing, we all have to start believing that money, like mike's, like mike, like you said, money is energy and that it can work for you instead, just like you work so hard for it, right, all right. So I mean, and, mike, I want to say this you know, we were talking the other night on the phone and we were talking about emotions, not being emotional and, like with the stock market, how it goes up and down if you were day trading and stuff like that because you know, yeah, if you, if you got a hundred dollars and you doubled that to 200 and then doubled that to 400, and then it doubled and doubled, and doubled, at what point do you start thinking, you start getting emotional?

Speaker 1:

Yep, because you weren't emotional over that $100. No, no, because you know what you could get that tomorrow, yeah exactly, but when that hits $100,000. Oh then you're like, should I hit that button In order for me to get compounded interest? I need to a hundred dollars exactly for it to make two hundred thousand can you do it?

Speaker 2:

I'm telling you, mike, this is real man. I hope our wealthiest catch this man because, just like wolf of wall street was saying, you, don't let them remember how he's telling you, don't let them sell a stock, right, that would make it real, right, right, right. It's not real as long as it's in that system, but once you cash out, then it's real right. So these emotions and I and we were, we were saying I was like you know what it hit me at that time that that emotion starts when it's more than you've ever seen before.

Speaker 1:

Exactly, you've seen a hundred dollars of course we've all we've mostly seen held $100. Yeah.

Speaker 2:

But when you start, for some people, when they start seeing $50,000, $75,000, $100,000, it's like man, this is more money than I've ever seen in my life. And then we start getting emotional over it because we have this fear of losing it. All of a sudden, there's this fear of loss, but that's why we've talked about calculated risks, thank you. Thank you Complete my sentence, brother.

Speaker 1:

We got the Bluetooth connection Sidebar. That Bluetooth got me in trouble, but all right, let's get back to this.

Speaker 2:

You got Bluetooth connection.

Speaker 1:

Now you're going gonna be in trouble. Oh so you got another bluetooth connector, don't you? Oh boy, oh man, oh my, it's all good, it's all good we gonna keep moving those who know know, those who knows know. But you know, but I hear you, you know it's just you know, calculated.

Speaker 1:

So why are there day traders who are making millions? Why is and I'm pretty sure are we all if, if we are entrepreneurs, we're wealthy and we're looking for side hustles? We see the tiktok, the. We see the instagram, we see the short reels. Come on, I'll show you how to day trade and make $10,000 a month, $15,000 a week. Hold on, you gotta buy my book, you gotta buy my course, you gotta buy my course, click here. And then, when you click here, it says go there, go there, go there, go there.

Speaker 2:

By the time you get there, you're like all right, and then it says well for $59.95,.

Speaker 1:

I'll get you in.

Speaker 2:

You pay the $59.95 for an additional $300. What but, mike, it's worth $50,000. What? It's a $50,000 value, yeah.

Speaker 1:

But at the end of the day, though, real talk if you don't have that mindset day, though, real talk.

Speaker 2:

If you don't have that mindset right, it don't mean nothing. Thank you, if you're not gonna apply.

Speaker 1:

It don't mean nothing, man. So that's why you know you can get with rich or you could stay poor yeah, you can get with this, or you can stay with that yeah, I love it, man.

Speaker 2:

I love it because, hey, man, applicable up to be applicable at the end of the day, to be accountable and actually apply. It was just saying um, back in the day I used to hear a lot of say if it don't apply, let it fly, right, you know what I'm saying and I I mean I could say now, if you're not gonna apply, just let it fly. Real talk. If you're not gonna apply the knowledge, if if we're gonna sit here and listen to to this or that, or even us, and we're not going to apply the knowledge, if we're going to sit here and listen to this or that, or even us, and we're not going to apply the things, I mean might as well just let it go out the door, let it pass us right by, because it ain't going to do nothing anyway. That's true. You know what I mean. It's just going to be temporary.

Speaker 2:

We're going to walk out of that seminar or finish reading that book and we're going to be all excited that book, and we're gonna be all excited. Oh, man, I'm fit to go. Man, I'm fit to go take over the world. I'm fit to go do this and then wake up the next day, adversity hits and bam, uh, man, I don't, I think, I'm, I don't think, yeah, yeah, that's that, that's that yo-yo, yep, right, so so we definitely got it. We definitely got to understand applying the things that we come across, having a passion for it, being energetic about it, being excited about something and then making a decision, making a decision, decide, and, and that we're gonna do this and be consistent with it, right, all right, and then, and then take it on and to make our future right. So, mike, with that man, I think we can go to the breakdown.

Speaker 1:

Let's do the breakdown. So the literal about this because, remember, we're looking at two scales here. We're looking at at staying at getting rich or staying poor. So the literal here is it's about security versus growth. Okay, are you going to make the money just to create stability or, when you get the money, do you create opportunities and considered multiple multiplying your resources and being a wealthy?

Speaker 2:

I love that, bro. I really love that. You know why? Because you know security. That's one of the six human needs. You know. Security, right, we just want to feel safe, right, want to play it safe right all day. I mean all and uh, back in the day again, I was told by someone who I had a lot of respect for do you want to arrive safely at death? It's like you, just you, just you just skate by your whole life skate by.

Speaker 1:

Just enough, just enough, just enough.

Speaker 2:

And it's like you get to the end, it's like, oh well, great, I've arrived safely at death. There you go. You know I mean you only, you only live one time, man. So I mean you can take, like you say, calculated risks. You know, I mean because, because getting by just being secure and playing it safe might be, and not not that there's anything wrong with that, because sometimes there are situations and there are that there, there are things in our life where we have to be sure of what's coming next.

Speaker 2:

Not saying, be stupid, right, but if you have a dream, those of us who are the crazies and those who are thinking about changing the world and believe we could change the world, right, these, this is not the way that we're, that we're thinking right. We're not thinking play it safe, that's right. The bill gates is in the, in the, in the, in the, you know, and the steve jobs is deep. They were. These guys were not thinking about playing it safe, absolutely not. They were thinking about what does it take, what is it going to take to get to where I want to go? That's true. And then you know they have. You know, of course, you have your counsels, people you trust advisors, whatever you want to call them, and then you take those steps calculatedly and make those risks exactly, you know, with things in mind.

Speaker 1:

And that brings us right into the mental. Yeah, it's opportunity again with the verse scarcity. Rich people see money as something to attract and create more of yep, while the upi individual often focus on holding on to what they have as opposed to taking some calculated risks on an opportunity. There you go, man. You know, when we was writing this and putting this together, I thought about that. You know we're always going to try to show glass half full, keep the podcast as positive. We want everybody to feel really good about what we're saying and then as much of it being applicable to you. But you know what I want to say in in our upi situation, because we're we're all trying to get to a privileged status is that correct yes, so that means we have to work double.

Speaker 1:

We were not born with silver spoons in our mouths.

Speaker 2:

Right right.

Speaker 1:

Most of us. If you're in a situation where you have a UPI, you're an underprivileged status person, you have underprivileged income, you have to work double. It's not your fault, right right. It's not your fault, right right, it's just your reality. So stop looking and say, or blaming, and say, oh, look at him, he got all this money he gets to do.

Speaker 1:

They got their own problems, believe it or not? Oh yeah, people may think they look at people who have money, rich, or they ain't got nothing to worry about. They got plenty to worry about. Some of their problems are more detrimental than yours, believe it or not. You still could grow and work out of your problems because, yeah, they're minimal, but their problems they could. They could be doing something, trading something and, as you can see, a lot of millionaires, billionaires, are going to jail aka pdd who said that. So just think about that. Yeah, you want to get your, your status, up, you want to get to that privileged income, but we have to work double. Yeah, we have to consider the family oriented life, but we also have to look at opportunities.

Speaker 2:

So it's a balance. That's a good point too, my man. I, I gotta, I gotta bring this up, man, because you were saying something the other day. Like some of these people gotta worry about the things that they even say like didn't you tell me about elon musk getting. Uh, didn't he get. He get kicked off some plow or get fired or something like oh, oh, yeah, he got okay.

Speaker 1:

So he's Elon Musk, owns Tesla, right, right, right. And he said you know what? I don't think I'm going to produce any more cars. Maybe next month, maybe I'll do 10%. What happens to the stock market? And now hold on. Fcc said what you just say. Well, I was just joking. I said what? Do you know how many people lost money and they made him get out of his presidential position? He was fined, wow, millions of dollars Just for saying that. So you can you imagine now if I said it? I said finance bros, you know we ain't gonna do nothing. No, so what? Who cares? But if guaranteed, if anta and I were worth, you know, a hundred billion, a trillion dollars I said that I'm going to jail.

Speaker 1:

They leaning on every single word, because our stock depends on it and what we say. So just think about that. That's true, man, that that privilege comes with responsibility, exactly. So you may be upset like, oh, I'm not there, I don't have my privilege, status, and. But you know, there's certain freedoms that you have or things that you're able to do or how you're able to move when you get to that status. You got to recondition.

Speaker 2:

Man, that's a good thing, man, that's deep brother.

Speaker 1:

Let's remember that. Yes.

Speaker 2:

All right. Yes, some of that comes with responsibility, all right. That's right, that's right, all right. Privilege comes with responsibility. I like that, that's right. That's right, all right Privilege comes with responsibility.

Speaker 1:

I like this and T-shirt number two the number two. You haven't got to the real T-shirt yet All right.

Speaker 2:

So here you go to spiritually All right, whether you're someone who's looking to hold on to what you have or you're trying to plant the seeds for a financial future, remember that it's all about perspective. Remember that it's all about perspective. Money is a tool that works best when you understand what it means to you and how it fits into your goals. Money can be a source of stress or a source of opportunity. Sometimes both See All right, but changing your perspective and belief can be the first step toward making it work better for you.

Speaker 1:

That is, you got to believe that. I love that, bro, and what I like about the spiritual is your perspective.

Speaker 2:

It's not a literal thing.

Speaker 1:

Perspective is not and it's actually not a mental thing. It's something that you're foreseeing or something that you believe. It's like okay, I'm gonna take this money and I'm gonna put some energy, the right energy, into it and boom, it grows right, right, right. Or I'm gonna take this money and I need to buy a pair of shoes. I need to buy this. I need to get my new tv. I needed it. I need to buy this and I need to buy that. It's your Perspective and that's what.

Speaker 1:

And that's what's so good about the spiritual Concept here because. It's what you're believing that it Can do for you. If you believe it can make money for you Guess what it's gonna make money, but if you believe that it's gonna Help you spend the money, it's gonna spend hey, either way, you're right you know I'm saying whether you believe you can or believe you can't.

Speaker 2:

Either way, you're right.

Speaker 1:

Yep, that's real man so so it's and again, that's why I love the title of the show. Man, you can get with this, stay rich or you can. You can stay with that, stay poor, a necessitous, yeah or oh, go ahead, or or a wealthy.

Speaker 2:

And there you go, brother. They say if we keep doing, if we keep doing what we've been doing, gonna keep getting what we've been getting. You know I mean that could be something if it's, and that works for good and bad. You know, I mean if we develop good habits that are creating results for us, we can keep doing that and keep getting it. Or if we know we got habits and belief systems that are not working for us, right, you know what I mean. We can keep doing it, going in that direction, and keep getting the same thing that we don't want, right, either way it works, it works. You know what I mean. Right? Either way it works, it works. You know, I mean I love the. You know you got artists right. They got them splatter paintings. Everybody who walks up to the painting see something else, right. See something different, right. Are they holding pictures up with? I mean, what do you see?

Speaker 1:

I see a butterfly right everybody see something different, right?

Speaker 2:

so this is about what the how, the perception of life and opportunity, and how you make it, how we make it work for us and real talk.

Speaker 1:

You know, I want to be real realistic with it because I know a lot of and hopefully some wealthians are listening to us too, right? Or some some wealthy people are listening to you but what I? Want I want to do, I want to take a realistic look. Say, go look at your bank account now did you plan out for whatever's in that left in your bank account today? You might have gotten paid on Friday. Maybe you didn't spend it all.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, it was the beginning of the month you might have had to pay rent.

Speaker 1:

How about that? So go, look at what's that perspective right now, because that's something you can't touch, that's something you can't really focus on right now. Tell me what you believe. Look at that bank account, pull out your phone, log in. Believe. Look at that bank account. Pull out your phone, log in, look at your balance. What's your perspective right now? What energy are you going to put in this perspective of what you're looking at right now? That's real deep man. Are you going to make it? Make money? That's for real. Are you going to go spend it? What did you have? What did you have planned for what you're looking at now? I hope everybody's looking at their phone and looking at their balance, or on their desktop, looking at their balance. Yeah, I know some of us are in the train or some of us are driving.

Speaker 1:

Maybe you can't look at it now, please, if you're driving, please, please but when you, when you stop, go, go to your bank account right now, go to your bank account right now, what's that perspective look like? Did I plan this? What am I planning for what I have left? And you know what's sad some of them you may not have much left. That plan is very easy I'm gonna eat and I'm gonna try to hold on to the next check. Hopefully nothing comes up. But then you got some people with hundreds of thousands of dollars. They're looking at it. I'm going to try to hold on to the next check. Hopefully nothing comes up. But then you got some people with hundreds of thousands of dollars. They're looking at it, do you?

Speaker 2:

know what you're going to do with it, man. Moment of silence, bro.

Speaker 1:

Straight up. That's the difference.

Speaker 2:

That's real man. I like that, mike, I like that, hey wealthies man, we hope you're all listening out there.

Speaker 1:
