I read an article that really resonated with me, about an ordinary person, from hundreds to thousands, thousands to billions, facing a disaster, which is also a difficult step for most ordinary people. The deciding factor for the upper limit is a person's organizational ability, cultural ability, or the size of their dreams.
From 0 to 1 million, you only need to be very eager. From 0 to 1 million, you just need to break through yourself. The next checkpoint is when you have already earned money; you will come to the second difficult point, which is to hide.
You need to practice; you need to be able to hide. Often at this time, you will get into trouble because you can't hide it. You haven't reached the point of becoming wealthy yet, and you go back again. You can only come to the tens of millions level if you can hide it.
Then why conceal it? If you don't hide, you're just asking for trouble. Your blood relatives, your love, your children's friends, because you can't hide it, these people don't appear separately; they all come at the same time. Your love comes, your old partner comes, friends come, brothers come, best friends come. Social relationships come too; they appear all at once, and they swarm like flies. How many ordinary people do you think can bear it? Can't bear it? Well, congratulations, you're back to poverty.
Some people want to borrow money, some say they love you, some want to live with you, some want to cling to you. You spend here a little and there a little; you still have to prove yourself, buy a car, buy a house, buy a watch. To prove that life is getting better, one is your active consumption to prove yourself, the money is gone, and the other is that people come in teams, and you can't avoid losing face.
You say, if I don't spend money, how can we prove that we have stood up? Your money is gone, and if you don't say anything, these people won't come, right? You can only hide it to reach the next stage. The next stage is crossing from hundreds to millions. As long as you understand this principle, everything will go smoothly; from hundreds to thousands is particularly simple.
First of all, if you don't ask for trouble, you have to be able to hide it. I can hide it now, so what should we do? Can you not show off? That's one thing. Can you calm down? That's another thing.
Not showing off doesn't mean you can calm down. A calm heart means loneliness. Calm doesn't mean not answering calls or not seeing people; it's about whether you can live a lonely life. This is the soil; this is a prerequisite. If you can't do it, what I tell you next is useless. So this foundation is about adapting to a lonely life, accepting and even liking a lonely life. When you can live alone, do you know what you have gained?
You have gained the ability not to fear losing your wealth in an instant.
In the first stage, when you have no money, many things are not up to you, so you are bold because, after all, I am barefoot and not afraid of anyone.
After reaching the second stage, you still need to practice courage. This is called courage after having something. Do you know how to practice courage after having it? I have it; you treat it as if you don’t have it. It doesn’t matter; it’s optional. At this point, you can make a second investment; the investment when you are poor is for survival. The second focus and investment are because you have the confidence, you have the courage. I want to do something bigger; I want to challenge something more difficult.
When you learn to be alone and can calm down, you gain a kind of energy, and your courage grows.
So you automatically gain courage, and this courage is the courage to sever ties with anyone. From hundreds to thousands, do you know what you will look like? Very brutal; you will become someone who is professionally making money and earning money.
At this point, you are purely profit-oriented; it doesn't matter who comes, love or no love, it's similar to being blinded by rage.
Until you reach this realm, you will never break through the transformation of an ordinary person.
Your methods are all ruthless; this is called merciless and recognizing money over people. You can only reach this stage and this state to truly safeguard the wealth earned through luck, dividends, or your intelligence and talent.
Only when you reach this step can you talk about more ambitious dreams.
