If you want uncommon results, you can't live a common life. You can't be like everyone else. You can't go out on the weekend. You can't sleep in late. You can't watch TV at night. You can't do what common people do and want uncommon results, living a common life. The reason why a lot of you aren't rich right now is because you don't run with the pack. You should. You're not with the right people. You don't try to get in the right circles. Comfort has never created anyone that's admired you. You've been living like you're going to live 9 million years. All of you got an expiration date on you. Because at the end of your life, you're either going to die with regrets or you're going to die being proud of yourself. There will be no middle ground. These are hard truths, why you're not rich. What is one hard thing, one hard thing that you've been avoiding? The life that you want will always be delayed until you start doing those things that suck and the things that are hard. And if you do, you know what I'll tell you. You'll be admired by the world. You'll die with no regrets, and you'll be proud of yourself. There is a good chance that every one of you right now is struggling with one of these things. Hey, guys, what's going on? It's Andy Elliot. In this video, I'm going to talk to you about 12 simple reasons. 12 simple things why you're probably not rich. Now, listen, I want you to do me a favor right now. I want you to write down how much money you have in your checking account, your savings account. I want you to write down how much money that you owe in debt. We call that debt. That's what you owe to other people. I'm not saying debt's bad. It could be bad. It's used on the wrong thing. How much is your income? What did you make last year? Are you guys ready to turn your annual income to your monthly income? Are you guys ready to get paid what you're worth? Are you ready to look down and see seven figures in the bank, eight figures in the bank, nine figures in the bank. You can do it. You can do anything you want. You guys can do anything that you want. But my goal of this video is to show you 12 hard truths. Now, by the way, I want to tell you guys, I'm a truth teller. 12 hard truths, things that maybe you don't want to think about. Things that you've been putting off, things you've been avoiding. I always tell people like if you hate somebody, it's probably because they're doing the work that you're avoiding. That's probably what it is. Or maybe they're doing something and there's somebody you want to become. It's making you question yourself and it's pissing you off. My goal is to get you stirred up during this video. That is my number one goal. My goal is to get you to identify with self awareness, truth and honesty in your life to why you're really not where you want to be. And so I could have come up with 50 hard truths, but this would be an hour long video. So I'm going to give you 12 hard truths that for me, that worked for me when I changed them in my life. I became rich. It can happen for you. You can be next. Alright, so who's next? Right now this video is free. It doesn't cost you anything. There is a fee though. Share it with a friend. Share it with somebody that needs to hear this. Share it with somebody that's got one of these problems. Okay? But you got to fix your own problems and I want you to share it with them too and say, hey man, watch this thing. I think this will help you. I want you to comment below. What is your greatest strength? And also what's your worst weakness? And also make sure you set your notifications. Subscribe to the channel that way. Next time when I drop a banger video, boom. You're getting hit right of the way. I love you guys. Make sure you hit me with a like. But share it with someone who needs it. All right, number one. So we're going to go one through 12. I've got all 12 right here. Number one. Dreams die in the hands of people who wait. Look, the longer that it takes you to make a decision, the less successful you're going to be. Period. End of story. That's the game. Procrastination is a thief of time. It's the freaking devil. Every time you wait, every time you become paralyzed with fear, someone else is getting the courage to make that decision. They're beating you. Do you get it? So I want you to write this down. Dreams die. And by the way, the graveyard has more dreams than any other place. But dreams die in the hands of people who wait. Never ever, ever wait. If you want it, get it. And I'm going to cover something later on down here that's going to show you how to get really good at that, okay, so dreams die in the hands of people who. Wait. Number two, you don't need motivation. You need a standard. You know, I have a lot of people that hate on me. I don't think that they hate me. I really don't. I think that they hate my standards. I think that they hate that I live to a higher standard than them. That's what I think they hate. I don't think they hate me as a person. I want to live by human excellence. I want to live at a way and a standard in a place that I'm proud of me, my family's proud of me. And when I die, there's a freaking legacy. I want to break my bloodline, I want to rewrite my story. The only way that's going to happen, there's only one, that's by having a freaking standard. You don't need motivation. This video was not made to motivate you. My channel isn't made to motivate you. You don't need another YouTube video to motivate you to get through through another day. You need a freaking standard. Everyone in this world can tell you what they do, but they can't tell you who they are. Okay? You need a standard. Chase the man, not the money. You become the man, you're going to get the money. Okay? Number three. If you don't build your dream, you'll be hired to build someone else's. I want you to write this down right now. It is not a bad thing to work for someone else. There is nothing wrong with that. Matter of fact, you can make more money sometimes than even the owner. I want you to write this down. Either I'm going to own my own business. I'm going to build the greatest team in the world, where I'm going to become the greatest number two that ever lived on planet Earth. I'm going to help someone else build their business and I'm going to build their team inside that business. And by the way, my dream in the Elliott Group Elliot army is so big, it could also hold the dreams of all my people that work with me in my company. That's. That's a good thing. But if you have a dream and your goal is to do something, make sure you're in a place that you can do it. And if you're not, guess what? You're going to build someone else's dream and not your own. So right now, I want you to do me a favor. Write down, what do you want in life if you can't write down what you want in life, there's a good chance you can never get what you want in life because you don't know what that is. 99% of the world, I ask people what they want, they always say the same stupid thing. They say, financial freedom. I'm like, what does that mean? They can't even tell you what that means. I need to know what you want. Okay? Patrick David, one of my mentors, says, if you can close your eyes and you think about your dream and it makes you emotional, you know what you want. Okay? Know what your dream is. And by the way, this is a place on my channel where you can actually create a real dream for yourself and start to dream. Okay? All right. Number four. Every day you avoid the hard thing. You're delaying the life you want. Every day that you avoid those hard things, those things that you know that you should be doing, okay? You're delaying the life that you want, the one that you really after. Okay? I tell people all the time, I'm like, hey, get up out of bed, do a hundred push ups every morning. They won't get up and do it. You know why? Because they're lazy. They're just lazy. And they say, well, I don't have to do it. You're right, you don't have to do anything. You don't have to do anything that's hard in your life. But if the first thing that you do when you get out of bed is you do 100 pushups, you know what I'll tell you, you're doing something you don't want to do. You're doing something that's hard. The rest of the day won't be hard at all because you knock something out of the way. Boom. Right in the first thing in the morning when you got up. I go straight to the cold plunge as soon as I wake up. I love it now, but I used to hate it. It's something that was hard for me. But if I do that first thing in the morning at 5am, I'm telling you right now, like the other hard things that come up, those things aren't hard. I woke up doing hard stuff. The reason why a lot of you are delaying the life that you want is because you're avoiding the hard things. These are hard truths, why you're not rich. There is hard work. There's hard relationships to maintain. There's certain things in this world that are super hard, and you've been avoiding them. Write down right now, what are three hard things that I've been Avoiding what is one hard thing? One hard thing that you've been avoiding? Maybe it's eating clean food and you love to snack and to you, that's hard. I don't know what it is, but I know this. The life that you want will always be delayed until you start doing those things that suck and the things that are hard. Okay. All right. Right here. If you want uncommon results, I want to be uncommon amongst uncommon men. I want to have an uncommon life in a very common world. I want to have uncommon results. If you want uncommon results, which is what we're all after, you can't live a common life. You can't be like everyone else. You can't go out on the weekend. You can't sleep, sleep in late. You can't watch TV at night. You can't do what common people do and want uncommon results. Living a common life. That's it. The reason why a lot of you aren't rich right now is because you don't. You don't run with the pack. You should. You're not with the right people. You don't try to get in the right circles. You know what common people do? They don't invest money on themselves. They don't, they don't self educate. They don't spend time working on themselves every day. Okay? Uncommon people do. And that's why they get uncommon life's uncommon results. You guys got me. Okay, guys, we're all the way down to number five now. Number six, your future self is watching everything you do. I always say this man, the person that God made you to be, is watching everything that you do. And it's literally saying, dude, that is not going to get you to where you're supposed to be. Your max potential will never be hit if you continue to do that. So I want you to have a conversation with your future self right now. And by the way, how big are you thinking? What's your bhag, your big hairy, audacious goal, your big scary dream that you're after that human, that guy that one day you're chasing your whole life until the day you die? If you had a conversation with him right now, would he tell you the things that you're doing right now in life align with that man, that woman? Okay? Your future is watching you. The reason why you're not rich is because that's not who you're supposed to be. And the things that you're doing right now, your future self would say, knock it off. That is not. That's not going to Take you to where you're supposed to be. All right, next. And I love this one. When the student is ready, the teacher will appear. You know what? I know when someone's ready to change their life, the right mentor is always standing right there. It's right there. Okay? And by the way, I'm going to give you guys something. If you're watching this right now, I don't know what your problem is. I don't know what industry you're in, I don't know what your situation is in life, and I don't know what scenario you're currently living. Here's what I want you to do. I want you to test me for free. I'm going to coach every single one of you right now for the next 30 minutes for free. It's going to be me. I've cloned my mind. I've created the Andy Elliot digital mind, and I'm going to give it to every single one of you. 30 minutes for free. Here's what I want you to do. I want you to go down to the description box below and literally there's the link. It says, andy Elliott Digital Mind. Try it. Here, you're going to try it. You literally click call and boom, you're going to call me. It is me. I answer the phone, it's like, hey, what's up? It's Andy. Let's crush it. How can I help you? I want you to ask me any question. I want you to tell me what your problems are. I want you to hit me with any scenario. I will show you how to handle it and fix it. 911, immediately. It is me. I've taken the last five years, 23 years of sales, but the last five years, hundreds of thousands of conversations of every industry, CEOs, business owners, people with every kind of problem in the world, and I've solved every one of them. And I uploaded it so it can literally coach and train you. And by the way, the greatest in the world will be using this. But I'm going to give it to you for 30 minutes for free. I want you to go down there right now. That's my gift to you. Go get it now. And I want to coach you 30 minutes. I'm going to change your life. So when the student's ready, the teacher will appear. If you're ready, the teacher's here. And I'm going to give you the first 30 minutes for free right now. Let's go. All right. Growth feels like failure until it doesn't. When I started my Business. It felt like it was hell. Felt like I was walking through hell. It felt like everybody that said everything about me that wasn't going to happen and my life was going to be like this. And those people that bet against me, that all those people were right. For a minute, it just felt that way. Success is ugly before it's beautiful. The reason why you're probably not rich right now and you're not making money is because winners live where quitters quit. A lot of quitters quit too early, so they never make it to the winning. So growth, which it's not like, and all awesome growth feels like failure until it doesn't. Guys, frustration plus chaos plus confusion. Usually you're on the verge of a breakthrough. Never forget that, okay? Growth feels like failure until it doesn't. So I want you to know, you got to be able to push through that. You got to be able to identify. Man, I'm not losing right now. I'm growing. This lesson, this thing I just learned, this failure, this is success. I'm getting closer every single day from where I'm supposed every single day to where I'm supposed to be. Okay? This is huge. Your habits scream your priorities. What are your priorities? Your habits. Scream your priorities louder than your words, dude. I don't care what comes out of your mouth. I don't care what comes out of anyone's mouth. You know what? I care. I care what your habits are. You show me your habits. You show me your future. I know exactly what your life looks like tomorrow by the way that you live your life today, plain and simple. Not by what comes out of your mouth. I don't even care what comes out of your mouth. I want to see what you do. Those are your habits. That's your priorities, and that's your future. Not what you say. Huge one. Big reasons, hard truths why you're not rich. You're going around telling everybody everything. But guess what? Your habits show me that you really don't want to be rich. Because if you did, you wouldn't do those things. Your priorities and your habits are the only thing that matter. Your words mean nothing. Your words should be beautiful words. They should help my imagination run. But I should be able to look at you with my eyes. I know exactly who you are without you saying a damn word. Okay, if it scares you, huge one here. Why people aren't successful and rich. If it scares you, it's probably the right decision. If it scares you, do it scared. Write that down right now. If it scares me, do it scared if you're waiting for it to feel great, to go do something scary that can change your life. Never going to happen. I promise you. Never going to happen. There's no big life sitting on the other side of an easy decision or something comfortable, okay? So just remember that if it scares you, do it scared. If it scares you, it normally means that you're going in the right direction. That should probably be the thing that you should be doing. Last two right here. Last one's my favorite. Last two right here. 12 hard truths why you're not rich. Number 11. The time's going to pass anyways, so you might as well become someone you're proud of. Guys, at the end of the day, we're all going to die. Your story has been written up to today. Then there's a gap and then the story has already been wrote that you're going to die one day. You might as well become someone you're proud of. The time's going to pass anyways. The reason, the hard truth reason why you're not rich right now is because you've been living like you're going to live 9 million years. You're not. All of you got an expiration date on you. You might as well give it everything you got. Why? Because at the end of your life, you're either going to die with regrets or you're going to die being proud of yourself. There will be no middle ground. What's it going to be? 12 hard truths why you're not rich. By the way, I want you to know this. Remember I told you guys 30 minutes. You can go down this link below.

First 30 minutes. Lastly, number 12, we're going to wrap this up. Share this with your friends. Share this with someone who can take something away from this and change their life. Comfort has never created anyone who is admired. They don't make statues of the haters and the critics. They make statues of the. Of the crazy dreamers. I want you to think about this. Comfort has never created anyone that's admired. Do you want to be an example of human Excellence. Do you want people to look up to you? Remember up here at the top when I said you don't need motivation, you need a standard. Do you want to be that person where it's like, dude, I know I can do it. You know what? Just like that person, but you're their name. You're that person. The name that they put in that place that. But that person did it. Do you want to be living proof that you can pull this off? That you can literally change your whole destiny? You can break your bloodline, rewrite the story of your family, break generational curses, be the bloodline breaker in your family like I am? Do you want to be that? Guess what? Going for that life, you're going to have to kill off all comfort. The only way to be admired is to do things that suck. And you know what I would tell you? When I do easy things, I'm not proud of me. When I do things that are hard, I'm proud of me. So do you guys want to have progress in your life every day, which will make you happy and be proud of yourself, run from comfort, get around people that will positively peer pressure the hell out of you to get uncomfortable as possible and every freaking day. And if you do, you know what I'll tell you? You'll be admired by the world. You'll die with no regrets, and you'll be proud of yourself. And you'll probably end up being rich.
