And I'm going to Share with you 15 truths you need to know to escape the system and get rich without working hard. Welcome to the Martel Method.

And make sure you don't miss anything by subscribing to my newsletter@martell method.com Starting with number one, IQ does not determine your net worth. I can prove it because my whole team out here has a higher IQ than than me. We test them all. I'm on the lower score. What matters is eq emotional intelligence. And that's where people get it wrong. Number two. Winners lose more than losers. See, school teaches us that losing is bad. It turns out the more you try, the more you learn. As long as you don't stop, then you become the winner. Number three, Leverage beats labor every freaking time. See, most bosses say, work really hard and you're gonna make a lot of money. The wealthiest people I know don't work that hard. What they look for is leverage. They use code, content, collaboration and capital to get more done with less time. Number Good employers care about results, not resumes. I don't care where my team went to school, what kind of degrees they got. I care about the shit they built. When I think about my kids, I don't care about their school grades. I care about who they are as people, what kind of things they accomplish. Rich people focus on getting things done, not collecting degrees to show other people that they're smart. Number five, Model. Then modify real artists. Learn how to steal like artists. When you're in school and you copy from other people, you get in trouble. In the real world, if you don't find somebody's blueprint and copy it, then you're just working stupid. Number six, professionals always bring tools. See, school forces you to not use a calculator. Hey, you can't use AI in the real world if you don't Come with the tools, you get fired. Number seven, Rejection is just redirection. So in life, a lot of people think if you get rejected, it's final. I don't know about you, but it doesn't matter if I get rejected from school or I get rejected from a job. That's not final. That's just an adjustment that has to be learned. Number eight, Your vibe, your energy attracts your tribe. See, in school, you're forced to be friends and friendly with everybody. But once you get out in this real world, because school is so freaking temporary, you realize the energy of other people affect you and your opportunities, and you curate hard. Number nine, Speed is way more important than perfection. See, school brainwashes us to think that the goal is perfection. When you get out in the real world, what people admire and appreciate is speed to results. You figure that out and you'll be successful. Number 10, your value is worth way more than your time. See, jobs teach us that, that we only get paid for our time. Real great companies show us that we get paid for the value created in that time. And there's no cap. Number 11. Play to win. Don't play not to lose. See, most people work in jobs where they're just every day scared they're gonna get fired instead of coming to work trying to find opportunities to create more, to be more. So you have abundance in life. Don't play a game out of fear. Play to win. Number 12, broke people get good at tasks. Rich people get good at avoiding themselves. See, right now, we're in a world where you have to be a director, not a doer. The things like AI is allowing people to create. Even though they don't have to do the task, they get it. Good at directing other people. Rich people know that the task is only to get them paid for doing the work. They want to get good at creating opportunities and then get the work done. See, the problem is, is broke people keep focusing on getting good at something that doesn't make them more money or get them better. I focus on getting the job done and then moving as fast as I can to never having to do it ever again. Number 13, retirement is only for people that hate their work. You want to build a life that you never have to retire from. See, most people call it work because they don't enjoy doing it. When you enjoy doing it, what do you call it? Life. Most people never figure that out, and that's why they'll work every day for the rest of their life. Number 14, trade work, life balance for an integrated life. Most people think they got to clock out at 5 and then enjoy the family. To me, it's all one thing. Yesterday I was on the boat with my mom enjoying conversations with people that I'm in business with. So not only are we moving our business forward, I'm hanging out with my mom, we're wake surfing and if that is work, sign me up. Number 15 make the decision, then make it right. See, most people are told you should have a plan, you should have a business plan, you should have a plan for your life. Guess what plan stands for? Procrastination. Labeled as normal. Most people I know that when in life they make a decision, they execute and then they figure out how to make it right. Thanks for listening to Martell Method.
