I’ve met tens of thousands of people in my business career. I’ve heard all of their excuses about why they can’t make their F.U.Money,
and I want to list them here for you. Study this list and see how many of these phrases sound a little too familiar.

THERE’S ALWAYS A GOOD
JUSTIFICATION FOR FAILURE
Some of these excuses were my own at one time. I came to North America when I was a kid and I couldn’t speak a word of English. So I
guess I could have used the excuse, “I can’t make it big because I can’t speak the language, so what can I do?”
I mean, why even try to make it big in a foreign country when you don’t even speak the damn language and the culture is completely
different from yours? I had all the rights (or excuses) in the world to be
a failure.
Even today I still speak with an accent. Some of my friends still say I sound like Jackie Chan! Sure, I had a lot of excuses in my head
why I couldn’t be successful: my accent, my looks, my height, lack of communication skills, lack of academic intelligence, lack of contacts. I could go on and on. I had to fight all these personal inner battles. I had to overcome these negative beliefs, just like you.
YOU WON’T MAKE YOUR F.U. MONEY
UNTIL YOU GET YOUR HEAD SCREWED ON
STRAIGHT
My objective here is not to give you some big psycho-babble motivational talk. However, like it or not, the biggest reason people don’t make their F.U.Money is psychology.
It’s what’s going on in your head that’s holding you back.
I’ll prove it.
It’s been my experience that I can take two
people and give them the same exact step-by-
step instructions on how to start a F.U. Money
business, with all the tips and strategies. One
person will take the information and skyrocket
to success. The other will take the same
information and fail miserably.
The amount of money you make is closely related to your self-image. MONEYISM #42.
Now why is that? When I first started mentoring other entrepreneurs, I thought it was my information. It turns out that wasn’t it at all. It was the difference in the psychological makeup.
Bottom line: one person believed she could do it, so she did it. The other person did NOT believe he could make it. So guess what? He didn’t make it!
Psychology is a HUGE part of making your F.U. Money, like it or not. That’s why I’ve spent a whole lot of time preparing you for the mindset in this platform.
If your mindset is right, if your head is screwed
on straight, then everything else is a piece of cake.
You can go out there and get the “how-to” all you want—it’s readily available. You can meet the people you need to meet. You can develop
the skills you need to develop. That’s the easy part. But if you don’t have the psychology right, you’ll fail. Case closed.
