Twenty years ago, when I was just a broke personal trainer in Toronto starting my career… I worked in a swanky boutique gym where Canada’s richest people would come to workout… Bankers, rockstars, CEO’s, lawyers… you name it. Many of them hired a “celebrity trainer”... a so-called fitness expert that actually didn’t know much … but knew how to entertain his clients with the latest goofy workout fads. One day I watched with amusement as Canada’s richest man tried to impress his friends while standing on an exercise ball and doing a resistance band row. “My trainer showed me this one!” he said while wobbling uncontrollably. He looked like a dork, of course, and his rich friends were laughing behind his back. That’s when it hit me. You don’t have to be smart to be rich. A few years later Jay Zagorsky, a research scientist at Ohio State University 's Center for Human Resource Research, published a study in the journal Intelligence and concluded: “Your IQ really has no relationship to your wealth.” Over the years since I’ve gone from broke personal trainer to helping over 250 entrepreneurs become millionaires, I’ve come to a similar conclusion. In fact, many of my best friends — who are millionaires — continue to do some pretty stupid things in life. Heck, Jeff Bezos, one of the world’s richest men, got caught cheating with his friend’s wife. And just look at some of the things that Elon “tweets”... (Although that appears to be working out in his favor) I don’t say any of this to take shots or make anyone feel bad… But rather, to illustrate this point: You just don’t have to be smart to get rich. Which might leave you wondering… If most millionaires aren’t any smarter than you… How come you work so hard, yet you’re still spinning your wheels? Well, after helping more than 250 entrepreneurs reach the 7-figure level… I can say it’s almost definitely because you’re missing one or more of these things… 3 Reasons You Haven’t Hit 7-Figures 1. You Have No Blueprint Architects and engineers use blueprints to guide the construction of huge buildings. No one on the construction crew was “winging it” when they built the Empire States Building or the Burj Khalifa… There are always specific and detailed plans for their construction. The same is true for building a 7-figure business. If you don’t know specifically how to build one — “brick by brick” — how can you expect to have one? Making millions isn’t easy, but it can be simple… if you have the right plan. My client Frank Den Blanken is a perfect example... Frank was grinding away to make $10K/month until he attended one of my workshops in Frankfurt, Germany. There, we put together a 90-day plan which he followed to a T… and 22X’d his business in less than a year. Blueprints equal business growth. 2. You’re Living a 5-Figure Lifestyle You need to upgrade your habits. I cannot say it enough… You can’t earn a 7-figure income on a 5-figure lifestyle. If you’re hitting snooze, binge watching Netflix, or starting your days with no plan… You’ll never reach millionaire status. My biggest mentors early in my career were Mark Ford — the founder of Early To Rise — and Dan Kennedy, author of the book, No BS Time Management. These men taught me to script my day and kick my bad habits to the curb. They taught me that if you want extraordinary results, you can’t have average habits. 3. You Need to Upgrade Your “Inputs” Get access to the ideas and information that can move you ahead. You are the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with. You must get around people with big ideas who do big things, and who will support you in doing the same. Not only does this open your eyes to things you didn’t even know were possible… You’ll also get to see how it’s done. 7-figure earners always seek the best ideas and information to upgrade every aspect of their lives. Those dumb millionaires I know are still smart enough to realize that they don’t know everything… And so, to their credit, they are always seeking the secrets of other millionaires. ---- Now... the fastest, easiest, and most affordable way I know of to get those secrets… Is with my Millionaire Monthly newsletter — your “backstage pass” into the mindsets, habits, and routines of the 1%.
