CHAPTER 11 WHY F.U.MONEY IS NOT FOR THE TOUCHY-FEELY

Can everyone make F.U.Money? Heck no. In fact, it’s for a very small
percentage of the population. These are people who think and act
different than everyone else.

Not everyone is meant to be or even wants to make F.U.Money.
If it’s not you, that’s okay. Some people just don’t have it in them. It
doesn’t make you a bad person. If that’s you, don’t beat yourself up.

Be whatever you want to be. If you’re satisfied with having just
enough money to get by, buying only what you need to be moderately
happy, or simply get through to the next pay check. That’s fine with me.

However, if you WANT to make your F.U.Money—if you WANT to be
financially free for the rest of your life—you MUST be committed. You
can’t just stick your toe in the water. It’s a total commitment.

None of this bullshit like saying one week,
“I’m going to make my F.U.Money” and the
next week, “ Nah. This is too damn hard.”

You’re either in or you’re out. You have to
keep the commitment day-in and day-out,
every single day until they put you six feet
under. There’s no testing the water in this deal.

You have to make F.U.Money the number
one priority in your life to get there as quickly
as humanly possible.


MONEYISM #30
The secret to wealth is committing to
ONE idea over time.


Most people just don’t have that kind of commitment. They are
not inclined to be wealthy in the first place, and they don’t have the
where withal inside them to get there if they did.

If you look around you, this is obvious. It’s why 95% of the
population is broke or living paycheck to paycheck and sadly, it will
ALWAYS be that way.

THE WORLD IS FULL OF CRAP

Nobody wants you to succeed.

They might tell you that they do, but don’t believe them—it’s just
lipservice. Your relatives might say so, or even your friends, but they’re
lying to your face.

Do you honestly believe they want you to grow into a F.U.Money
Millionaire while they’re down in the gutter, sucking paychecks? I don’t
think so.

Think about it. When you told your friends and family that you were
gonna quit your job and start your own business, what did they say to
you? Were they supportive? I doubt it.

So don’t believe a word of the crap they tell you. People want to
see you fail so they can have some one to blame and justify their own
failures. “Oh, look at John and Mary, they couldn’t make it. Well, I told
them they shouldn’t have started their own business in the first place.
If they had just listened to me, he would still have his good, secure job…blah, blah, blah.”

Bullshit!

If you’re going to make your F.U.Money, you have to plow through
mounds of crap from all sides.

You will have to fight and push through a world of lies, unsupportive
mindsets, struggles, and hardships to move closer to your goal every
single day. You’re going to have to FIGHT for uninterrupted time so you
can focus on your goals with laser-like intensity.

In the process, you’ll piss some people off. Friends will think you’re
“dissing” them. Family members will think you’re a workaholic. They’ll
accuse you of misplacing your “priorities”—of being obsessed, money-
hungry, or just plain greedy.

To add insult to injury, if you have any feelings of self-doubt, add
those to the shit that others are feeding you and it makes it tough as
hell.

Plus, to round it all off, the chance of you actually making it and
living your dream is LOW. Now how’s that for motivation?

So do you want it? Do you REALLY want it? I hope so. If you are
ready to do whatever the hell it takes—as long as it’s moral, ethical, and
legal—then keep reading.

WHO ARE YOU LISTENING TO?

The world has an opinion and it’s usually worth exactly what it
costs: nothing. It’s worthless.

People are like crabs in a bucket. If you put a bunch of crabs in a
bucket, you don’t have to put a lid on the bucket to keep them from
escaping. Because if a crab starts climbing up, the ones on the bottom
will ALWAYS pull the climbing ones down to their level.


The world doesn’t want you to win. The vast majority of people will
NEVER make their F.U.Money, nor will they ever try. They want you to
be down in the gutter with them so they have somebody else whose
shoulder they can cry on.

Is your friend rich? Is your -in-law rich? When they give you
advice, should you listen? Yes. Go ahead—be polite.Then you can toss
their advice right out the window as soon as they walk out of the room.

It never ceases to amaze me how people will suck up any
information, take it to heart, and make decisions based on the hot air
that comes out of other people’s mouths!

The sad part is that sometimes even when you pay for service, you
can’t trust it. Have you ever gotten bad advice from an attorney? I know
I have!

Even if you take advice from a professional,
you still have to determine if that advice is
applicable to you (that includes taking advice
from me, by the way). The final decision still
falls on your shoulders. You have the final say.

So be very careful to whom you listen. If
you want to be a F.U.Money Millionaire, you’d
better learn from one.

Don’t take advice
from broke people

on how to get rich.
When  you do, you soon join them, too.
