30. Why the Masses Miss Every Wealth-Building Opportunity


Listen Later

If you can’t fix this, you’ll never be wealthy. The 99% move like a herd, and the masses scream in fear, duck for cover, and sell in lockstep during every major recession, crash, and recovery. This is why most Americans (or people on Earth, for that matter) will never be wealthy. By letting their fear take over during times of opportunity and their greed override their senses during peaks, the masses buy high, sell low, and remain in the same place.

This is avoidable. Anyone can grow wealthy IF they follow the right steps.

At some point, I realized that my emotions were controlling too many of my decisions. When I stopped listening to my lizard brain and started operating on a system, everything changed. How did I know to buy so low during the real estate bust in 2008? How did I know my industry was in a bubble before so many others? And why am I back to buying while people are telling me the bottom is yet to come?

Keep following the news if you want to remain stuck. Listen to this episode if you want to finally control your financial future. 

Insights from today’s episode: 

  • How to stop your emotions from ruining your wealth-building opportunities 
  • The “signal” the wealthy look for that tells them when to buy (and sell)
  • Why allowing yourself to look stupid may be the best decision you ever made
  • My “buy box” formula that controls my investing (not my emotions!)
  • How to capitalize on market confusion and buy when everyone else is too scared to act
