[00:00:00] Speaker A: He's built multimillion dollar companies. His explosive books on health and wealth have sold over 60 million copies now. The Kevin Trudeau Show. They don't want you to know.
Kevin Trudeau here. Limitless, the Kevin Trudeau Show. Everything they don't want you to know about to improve the quality of your life and standard of living. Today, we're going to be talking about making money. The three things.
The three. There's only three. The three things that all billionaires know and do.
Now, most of you are probably going to think that's nice, but I'm never going to be a billionaire, so how is that important to me? So let me rephrase it. The three things that all people who make over a million dollars a year know and do.
Let me take it even a step further. The three things that virtually everyone who makes over $500,000 a year know and do. There's three things. They're very consistent. There are common denominators of success and making money. Success leaves clues. There is a pattern for success that people follow. There is a formula for success that people follow. There is a recipe for success and making money that people follow. There's actually a success algorithm, and actually this is one of the books I'm working on right now. It's a mathematical equation. There's an algorithm for success and achieving wealth.
When you look at people that are wealthy, if you look at people that are billionaires, if you look at people that are wealthy, if you look at people that make a million dollars a year or half a million dollars a year, and you start evaluating and really doing some in depth research, there are common denominators. Now, interestingly enough, there's not very many common denominators, which means there's a bunch of things or traits or activities or mindsets that wealthy people have. But not every wealthy person is actively using everything in that bucket. So if you take, let's say you take 1,000 people who are making over half a million dollars a year and you were to really, really investigate each single person and say, what did they do? And you take this person, you look at all these traits and you put it down. Then you take the next person, the next person, the next person. Then you say which ones are common, in other words, which things are used by the majority, over 50%. And now you have a bucket. So you have a bucket of the common denominators that all successful people know and do. All the traits, all the activities, all the mindsets.
But there's very few that Use all of them. Does that make sense? And so there's differences, but there are. But there are specific patterns that you can follow and duplicate. You duplicate success, you follow the pattern for success. You follow the recipe. But if you break all those down, there are really only three things. There's only three that virtually every single person in that category do and know.
There's really only three. So if you take 1,000 people, 10,000 people, 100,000 people that are making over half a million dollars a year, all of them, virtually all of them know and do these three things. And that's what you're going to learn today if you start doing them. And I guarantee you don't. And that's the goofy thing. I guarantee that you don't. Many of you want to make money, but you don't do these three things. If you just start with these three things, just start with these three things and focus on these three things, everything else will kind of fall into place. But unless you're doing these three things, it's almost impossible for you to make money, increase your wealth, increase your income, or achieve financial independence and financial security and financial freedom.
I mean, financial freedom. Financial independence is awesome.
Most of you work for money instead of having money work for you. Most people have to do activity to earn money just so you can live, just so you can pay your mortgage or rent or your car payment or your insurance payments and pay your bills, pay down your debt, and just to live, you don't have a lot of investments. You need to work for income, which is sad. It's not sad, but if you really love what you're doing, that's fine. But it would be better if you did activity based on your desire and mission and purpose and for the love of doing it instead of having to do it to earn money to pay the bills. Financial freedom and independence means you do not have to work, you do not have to earn any money. Because every week, every month, every quarter, you're getting a check, you're getting money deposited automatically in your account without you doing anything. That's freedom and financial independence. That money comes in the form of either interest, which means your money is earning interest, and your money is working for you. Instead of you working for money, your money is making money while you're sleeping without doing anything. Interest, also dividends. That's another way the wealthy achieve financial freedom and independence. Royalties is another way that you have financial freedom and independence or some type of residual income coming in from a business where the business just operates without you being there. At all. And it just pays you, effectively, a dividend. So there's really three major ones. Dividends, interest, or royalties.
That's your financial freedom.
And I'll tell you, it's awesome. I learned that very early on. I learned that 1969 is when I learned that concept from my wealthy mentors that told me the very simple principle. And my dad was a welder, union guy, and he went to work to earn money, and then he took some of that money and he put it into some investments so that he could retire. He'd have enough money put away and he could retire off the interest and or dividends of that investment, or slowly take a little bit of the principal so he didn't have to work anymore. Added that with his pension and his Social Security, and he was the happiest guy in the world. He had achieved that even though he was a union worker.
So I learned the basic principles, the how to, but I also learned the three basic keys that I had to employ. And I was told, These are the three secrets.
1969. My mentor at that time, worth hundreds of millions of dollars in today's money. He would be a billionaire. And he told me, these are the three secrets. The three Secrets. And actually, we didn't call them the three Secrets. That was one thing we used. But in our world, we called them the three Angels.
These are the three Angels, Kevin, These angels will do your bidding. They will make you wealthy. They're better than a genie. They're the three Angels. They're your angels. They love you. They'll take care of you. Just make sure you're always activating these three Angels. These are the three Secrets. Interestingly enough, if you look throughout history, the one guy who interviewed and studied wealthy people, probably more so than anybody else, was Napoleon Hill. Napoleon Hill authored the very famous book Think and Grow Rich. And before that, the Law of success in 15 lessons. It was actually 15 articles. People don't know that he actually wrote 15 articles. It was in some newspapers, then it was put into some books. There was a 16th lesson, which was so upsetting to Henry Ford that he didn't put it in until later. So then it became the Law of success in 16 lessons. And he rewrote it all, actually. So there's the original Law of success in 15 lessons. Then a few years later, there's the Law of success in 16 lessons, which are in individual booklets. But it's a rewritten work, and you get both of them and you read it side by side. It's like these are very different things and both of them are outstanding, but they contain different information, different material. Then there's think and grow rich. But what Napoleon Hill did is he studied the wealthiest people on the planet and he said, what are the common denominators? So that was one thing that was done. And in today's world, you know, Elon Musk has been interviewed, Steven Jobs was interviewed, Henry, I mean, Steve Ballmer, who's the co founder of Microsoft, Bill Gates was interviewed, Warren Buffett was interviewed and his partner Charlie Munger. Different billionaires from around the world, in Mexico, in India, in Japan, different successful people have been interviewed and to try to gleam some of this success. But nobody has done the in depth research as Napoleon Hill and it was from a different era. So if you look at the interviews of the wealthy people today, even though they're not as in depth, we can still glean some of the common denominators. And again, these common denominators are universal. Doesn't really matter what country you're in and they're very consistent. So there are patterns for success. So if you're watching and you want or listening and you want to make money, you want to increase your income, I'm going to give you the three angels, the three secrets, and just do them. And it can dramatically impact your life. And if you don't, it's going to be very difficult for you to succeed and make more money. That's factual. That's factual.
I mean, you may disagree with me and that's okay because you have the right to be wrong. I mean, look, I'm not saying something that's my opinion. I'm pointing out some factual data right now. It's snowing out there and it's very cold. So if I were to say it's cold and it's snowing and you were to say, no, it's sunny and it's warm.
Look, you know, you're delusional. It's freaking cold. And it's not sunny, it's overcast, it's snowing.
Now you may be like Wim Hof and want to go out there in shorts and jump in a frozen lake because you say I find it very warm.
But you understand what I'm saying, It's still cold. You may enjoy that cold, but you can't deny that it's cold and you can't deny that it's snowing.
So when it comes to making money, you can't deny what I'm saying because it's not my opinion. I'm not giving you my opinion. I'm not going to say I think I call it. No, I didn't call it anything, and I don't think anything. I'm just sharing with you what was shared with me, what I observed from others and what has been proven to work. And whether you want to take advantage of it or not, it's your own business.
So we're talking about the three secrets that all wealthy people know. Every and do. So here's what I want to do first, before I'm going to tell you them, by the way, make sure you know them. So by the end of the show, you're going to know them all. But go into the chat right now and tell me if you can think about what one or two or three of them may be. So quickly go in there and Trey's going to rattle off a couple of them. So what do you think are the three secrets that all billionaires know and do, or the three techniques that they employ, or the three traits that they all have? You get the idea here. So come up with what do you think they are? Come up with one or two or three and throw them in the chat right now. So you can put that in the chat. You can also put it in the comments section. By the way, make sure you like and share this video. Are we getting a couple in there, Trey?
[00:12:40] Speaker B: Nothing yet. I'll let them roll in.
[00:12:41] Speaker A: Okay, so if you're watching right now, and a lot of you are probably just blind, like, I don't know. Yeah, no kidding. So if most of you are thinking, I don't know.
If you're thinking, I don't know, or if you even have to think about it, you don't know because knowing this is instantaneous.
You're out of the think stage. So these three angels, these three secrets, these three traits, these three techniques, these three things that all wealthy people know and do are something that should be a part of you. So if I were to ask you, what's your name? You don't say, hold on, let me think about it. Oh, damn. I didn't think he was going to ask me a tough question yet. My name, my name, my name. What is it? Should I give my first name? What is my first name? What is my first name? What's my first name?
Kevin. That's what it is. Kevin.
You don't do that. You know your first. What's your address? You don't say, hold on, let me check my phone. What's your phone number? Hold on, I got to look it up. Let me think about it. You know your phone number, you know your address, you know your name. But when I say, what is the three most important traits or the three traits? Not just most important. The three traits that every wealthy person is, knows, and employs. What are they? You have to think, think, think. What could they be? What could they be? What could they be? All right, you got a couple of them, Trey.
[00:14:13] Speaker B: Yeah, we're seeing. They have a lot of focus and they're teachable, okay?
[00:14:17] Speaker A: Focus and teachable.
[00:14:20] Speaker B: We also have that. They put together vision boards, okay?
[00:14:25] Speaker A: They put together vision boards. And by the way, that's not true. Wealthy people, most of them, don't even know what a vision board is.
[00:14:32] Speaker B: Readers are leaders.
[00:14:33] Speaker A: Readers, okay?
Some of them are. Some of them are not.
[00:14:37] Speaker B: We're seeing a lot of love what you do.
[00:14:40] Speaker A: Love what you do. Love what you do, okay? Some of the wealthy people hate every moment of what they're doing. They're doing it just because they love money. They hate what they're doing. Absolutely hate it. Disgusting.
But they do it because they love money and power.
[00:14:55] Speaker B: We're seeing. Associate with other rich people.
[00:14:58] Speaker A: They associate with other rich people. Some of them do, and some of them are absolutely recluses. Remember how he was associated with anybody?
[00:15:07] Speaker B: A couple people saying, take massive action.
[00:15:10] Speaker A: They take massive action, okay? Giving, giving. Some do and some don't. Most do, but not every. See, here's the point. All right, so Trey, hold on to those. So here's the point.
Everything that Trey mentioned, you could find a wealthy person who says, yes, that's very important to them. Giving, taking massive action. Maybe there's some wealthy people that have vision boards. Heck, like I said, I go hang out with 30, 40 guys, six weeks a year that collectively are worth a trillion dollars. And none of them know what a vision board is. None of them know what a dream board is. They look at me when I talk about that. Do you use a dream board? They go, how are you talking about? And they started from zero, and they made a colossal amount of money. So why do I recommend. And why do other success gurus recommend a vision board or dream board or some of these things that Trey mentioned, even though they're not one of the three. Because in order for you to get from your level up, you have to do some things to start shifting what's virtually in your DNA. And you have poverty DNA. Wealthy people don't have that. You've heard me talk about that. When I describe the money processes. You got to get rid of the counterintention that's in your DNA because your parents put counterintentions where these people didn't have it or had little, so they didn't have to do some of these things. So let me tell you the one thing, and I'll give you the three. There's three. The first one that every single 100% successful people have, and it wasn't in. Nobody put it down. Nobody put it down. Well, I'll give you a hint. Maybe you can come up with it, Trey. I'll give you a hint.
It's virtually in the title of a book that I recommend on this show. I recommended books. I'll do another show. What I recommend, I recommend some books. These are critical books that you should read if you want to become successful and make more money.
And it's in one of the. Chae's probably looking up the titles right now. I can already see him over there.
It's in the title. Wealthy people, Billionaires. Billionaires. People that make over a million dollars a year, that's far from a billionaire. Everybody who makes over half a billion a year, that's way far from a billionaire. But there's one thing that every single person, every single person, every single person absolutely knows that they have to think big.
They are big thinkers. They don't think small.
Every billionaire is a bigger thinker than every millionaire. They simply think bigger.
And they started thinking big when they were just starting off. When they were broke, they were always big thinkers. Don't imagine that they started thinking big when they started making money.
They could even think bigger. But when they were first starting off in business, when they were in high school, when they were in grade school, when they were in college, they had big dreams.
They had big dreams. I had a guy tell me one time, he says, kevin, the only difference between you and I is the size of our dream and time.
How big can you dream? There's magic in thinking big. That's why there's the name of the book, the Magic of Thinking Big. There's power in thinking big. All successful people dream big. They have to expand what is possible. And you expand the possibilities by dreaming big and thinking big. How big can you dream?
How big can you dream? I used to sit around people, we used to play a game and said, you just hit a billion dollar lottery. As a matter of fact, it was so much money after taxes, you just got a billion dollars cash deposited into your bank account and all your taxes had been paid.
What would you do?
What would you do?
And here's the thing.
The Elon Musks, the Warren Buffets, the wealthy people, Steven Jobs, the billionaires, the super wealthy, if you were to ask them that question, they instantaneously start giving you answered, oh, I would do this and this and this and this and this and this and this and this and this.
As a matter of fact, they'd say, I need more than a billion for all the things that I see as possibilities that I want to do. I need more than a billion dollars in cash after taxes.
And then you talk to the guy who's making 100 grand a year or 150,000 a year or 80,000 a year, and they have no clue what they would do.
They have to think. It takes them a while.
Would you pay off your mortgage?
Yeah, I guess so. Yeah.
To get a different car.
Never really thought about it.
They're not dreaming. They're not thinking big.
It's not even in their realm. So what happens is their mind is contracted.
If you want things to start being attracted into your life, you want money being attracted into your life, if you want opportunity to be attracted into your life, if you want people that are going to help you make your dreams come true, being attracted into life, you have to get big dreams. You have to dream big.
You have to think big. Dream big.
Guy said, you have to have a dream so big it would take three lifetimes to accomplish it.
You got to dream big. This is why one of the techniques to help you dream big and since you don't, is a vision board or a dream board, where it's an actual board that you put up on the wall and you cut out from magazines or you print stuff off the Internet of things that you want. The car, the boat, the jewelry. Or even better, you sit in the car of your dreams and have somebody take a picture of you there. And then put that up on your dream board. You stand in front of the mansion of your dreams and have somebody take a picture and you put that up on your dream board. You use AI and you put yourself in the picture on the beach in Hawaii or, or in Bali or wherever you want to go in the world, or on your private yacht, or put yourself using AI, sitting in a private jet. Whatever your dream is, how big can you dream?
Successful people always dream big. They think big. This is why we go dream building in the global Information Network in my private club, my private success club. When people join, we take them dream building. Our summer conference, for example, this year is in Beverly Hills at the Wilshire Beverly Hotel.
It's the Pretty Woman Hotel. Talk about dreaming. And it's right at Wilshire Boulevard and Rodeo Drive. So you see all the Ferraris and Lamborghinis and Rolls Royces and Bentleys and the AMG Mercedes. I mean, they're all lined up everywhere. The Maseratis.
You walk down and you see the Gucci store, the Patek Philippe watch store, the Rolex watch store, the Stefano Ricci men's clothing store. Suits, you know, $15,000. Bijan is there, Ferragamo is there, Chanel is there, the gorgeous clothing, all the different brands. Louis Vuitton, on and on and on, one after the other after the other. And you see celebrities walking around dressed fantastic. And you start dreaming. And you look and you're thinking, there's a purse for $35,000 for the purse. And you're thinking, I can't afford that now. Maybe one day you start dreaming. You see people 20, 30 years old, 35 years old, driving around a Rolls Royce that they paid for in cash. You go and look at the homes, $15 million homes, $20 million homes, $25 million homes. Forget the five or $6 million homes, they're just average.
You see these big houses and you think, who lives there? Oh, a woman, she's 28 years old, started her own business, came from Nebraska, and she just bought that $20 million house, paid cash for it.
And you're thinking, if she can do it, why can't I do it?
If her, why not me and why not right now?
How big can you dream? You got to dream big. So successful people always think big. They're doing a real estate deal in New York and his two real estate guys, and this is a true story. They're in New York, they're starting off, they're buddies, they went to school together. They decided to get into the real estate development business together. Their families are about exactly the same in terms of income and net worth. They had the same amount of money to get started. And one guy says, I'm going to do a deal on this house, this is back in the 70s. And he says, There's a hotel, there's a $1 million property that I'm going to jump into and I'm going to turn that property, I'm going to flip that property, I'm going to make a million and a half on that million dollar property. I'm going to make 500,000 net. I'm going to turn that million dollar property into a million and a half dollar property. This is back in the 70s. It's a lot of money and I'm going to make a half a million dollars. He had a big dream and his buddy went by and said, There's $100 million hotel and I'm going to turn this into a $300 million hotel. Well, I'm going to put 200 million in my pocket.
And it took both guys about the same amount of time to do their deals. And they both succeeded.
One guy made a half a million dollars, the other guy made 200 million.
What was the difference? They worked the same amount of hours, they had the same skill set, they had the same amount of money to get started. They had the same connections.
The difference was the size of their dream.
And that one guy who made that big deal, by the way, is currently President of the United States, Donald Day Trump. And he was very famous talking about that deal. And he said, you know, it would take me the same amount of time and effort to do a million dollar deal as opposed to doing a $100 million deal.
So I put my effort into the big things. He goes, because I think big.
I mean, here's a guy who just says it right out of his own mouth. I think big. I can't think small. He said, it's not in my DNA. That's what he said.
And it's true for most of you. It's not in your DNA. Thinking small is in your DNA, which is why you have to clear that out. Do some money processes, join the Global Information Network. Go through the Success Mastery course. Go through the Science of Personal Mastery course. Do some things take charge, take some action to change your ability, or just start by doing some dream, building and using your own willpower and saying, you know, starting today, I'm going to start thinking big and then read the book the Magic of Thinking big. Start there, start thinking at least bigger. And some of you think, I can't think that big because I just don't believe I'll be ever to be able to achieve it.
That's correct. If you believe you can, or if you believe you can't. Either way, you're right. It's the thinking that makes it so.
So start small.
Just dream bigger than you do right now. Go as far as you can see.
When you get there, you'll see further.
Number two.
What's the second thing? Did we get any more in there? Trey? Do we get any more?
[00:27:46] Speaker B: Yeah, let me grab them again.
[00:27:47] Speaker A: Okay, so Trey's going to look and see what else you came up with because there's two More that every single billionaire employs. They know and they do it. And every wealthy person knows and does it. And many times subconsciously, a lot of times it's not even conscious anymore. Trey. Yeah.
[00:28:08] Speaker B: We got people saying that you need to be hungry.
[00:28:11] Speaker A: Got to be hungry.
[00:28:13] Speaker B: Create a large network.
[00:28:15] Speaker A: Create a large network. There's nothing wrong with being hungry or having drive or desire and having a good network. Some people do that and some people don't who are wealthy.
[00:28:25] Speaker B: Going to events and workshops.
[00:28:27] Speaker A: Going to events and workshops. I know a lot of wealthy people who don't go to any events or any workshops. They absolutely hate it, saying, I'm not going to go.
They work out of their own little hovel.
They hate people.
I know some of them that do that.
[00:28:45] Speaker B: They're always learning.
[00:28:47] Speaker A: They're always learning. I know some guys who are so smart, they always know they're the smartest guy in the room and they refuse to learn from anybody because there's nobody as smart as them.
Here's the point is, it's not everyone. Yes, Many wealthy people love learning. Many wealthy people go to various events and give and receive recognition. Many very wealthy people do a lot of these things, but not all at all anymore.
[00:29:15] Speaker B: That's kind of the consistent.
[00:29:16] Speaker A: Good. Okay. It's very consistent. Okay. This is great. Let me tell you something. I'm glad you're watching because you don't know this stuff. Clearly, nobody knows what I'm about to say.
All right, number two, all wealthy people have a very active energy within them, which unsuccessful people don't. And that is initiative.
It's initiative.
An initiative is inner drive.
It is the inner motivation or inspiration that compels you to take action when nobody told you to do anything.
Someone who has initiative is a self starter.
Wealthy people, billionaires, are self starters, more so than you could ever imagine. They take initiative.
They take initiative. This energy overlaps into they take charge, they lead.
But taking initiative is doing something out of your own volition. You're not told to do it, you just do it anyway. You do it because you know it needs to be done.
It's your own initiation of an action.
Taking initiative is one of the most powerful energies.
And I'll give you the opposite of this.
Most people don't do anything unless they're told or asked to do it, and then they resent it.
I hate being told what to do.
Okay, well, then if you would do it, I wouldn't have to tell you or ask you.
Could you put the trash out? There's trash overflowing the trash can, we can't squeeze it down anymore. I know you've jumped in the trash can and tried to crush it down like a trash compactor, but there's still trash everywhere. And you walk by it and you see bits of trash on the floor. And instead of taking initiative and just saying the trash is full and instead of just taking the bag up, tying it together, putting it in the trash can outside, putting a new trash liner in there and getting it done with, that's showing initiative. You don't, you will just bypass it. You'll bury your head in the sand. It's an inability to confront.
And then somebody has to say, hey, would you mind putting the trash out? And then you get, I hate being told what to do.
That's loser mentality. Look, there's a millionaire mindset, there's a millionaire mentality, and at the end of the day there's a loser mentality.
Winners, winners.
Winners of all types. Champions take initiative. They don't have to be told what to do. You look at winners in sports, they're the ones who are at the stadium first. They're told you have to be there at 11 o'clock, they're there at 10 o'clock. They weren't told they have to be there at 10 o'clock, they don't have to be there at 10 o'clock. But they took their own initiative.
That's what winners do. People who are worth a lot of money take the initiative. They do things before they're asked or told. They take action from a self starter situation.
They have inner motivation, self motivation. They are self starters.
They do it without being told.
They think of things that they need to do.
Do you understand that showing initiative is assessing a situation and deciding what needs to be done here?
Even though it may not be obvious, that's taking initiative. In my office, in this office here, we have doors. And as I walk through the doors, I immediately say, I want to give some papers to the person who's in that office. But the door is shut. And we have a closed door policy, which means if the door is shut, nobody can interrupt that person. They shut the door on purpose. They want privacy. They want to be able to focus and concentrate because they're working on something. They do not want any interruptions and there's nothing that's that urgent. They can't wait a few hours or even a day. So I walk by, get some papers that I want to hand to an individual. The door is shut and I'm thinking, I'm not going to bother her. She's working. She shut the door because she wants to focus and concentrate and that's critical. But I got these papers and I don't want to shove it under the door because then that's going to disturb her. She's working and then she hears some papers. It's going to distract her. I don't want to distract her. I want her focus on whatever she's doing. That's why she shut the door. So I think, you know, it would be good if there was a little something on the door that I could put the papers in. So when she opens the door, it's like a little basket or something, she would see it. That would be efficient.
So I write it down and I say to myself, I'm not going to tell anybody to do it. I want to see if there's anybody in this office that can show initiative. Because clearly I'm not the only guy who thinks that may be a good idea.
Weeks and weeks go by and I'm getting a little disturbed because no one's showing the initiative to suggest to me or the office manager, hey, I have an idea. I think we can improve the efficiency. What if we get some beautiful things here? Matter of fact, I went online, I found a few. I think this one works really nice. It's easy to install. We can put on everybody's door and this will be really good.
No one has shown that initiative. Then I come into the office and on her door, that one person's door, I didn't say anything to anybody. She's got one of these little bins on her door. No one else does. But she took the initiative and said, you know something? This would be a good thing. She didn't ask, she just did it. That's taking initiative.
See, successful people just assess situations and figure out what needs to be done.
That's showing initiative. That's being a self starter and then doing it.
Initiative is a critical word. Look it up in the dictionary, look at the original language that the word comes from, study the word, look at the various derivations, the etymology of the word, the history of the word, and then use it several times in a sentence and feel good about that word. That's activating and illuminating the energy and essence of the word and you'll start showing more initiative. Listen, just get a card. Get a card like this, get a piece of paper and just put initiative and put it all over your house and just ask yourself, I'm going to show initiative today and just make it a habit Every day that today I'm going to do something to exercise initiative and show initiative.
You start doing that and get into the habit of showing initiative.
It makes all the difference in the world. Just today the White House office of the President put out a little release and it said that they're going to change a policy.
And the policy change is instead of hiring people based on quotas, oh, we need a certain number of short people, we need a certain number of tall people, we need a certain number of fat people, we need a certain number of skinny people, we need a certain number of women and certain number of men, we need a certain number of blondes with blue eyes, we need a certain number of people with dark skin, we need people of this religion. They have all these quotas. You have no idea my book. And so when they're hiring people, it has almost nothing to do with the qualifications or how good the person is, how qualified they are. It's about quotas. Now think about if you did that in the NBA.
So here we are with the NBA. You're trying to put together a basketball team of champions so you can win the championship. And they go, sorry, you have to bring people on and have them play based on quota. So you need some red headed people, you need some Asian people, you need some Native Americans, you need some fat people, you need some short people. You can't have the best athlete, you can't have one race. You have to have like, you have the white, you have Asian, Japanese, you need some Chinese, you need some Eskimos, you need some Indians, you can't have, you have all these African Americans, you can't have all that. I mean, stop picking the best athlete, the best players. No, no, no, you have to pick on based on these quotas. So they changed this and the President said we're no longer going to hire people in the federal government based on quotas. We're actually going to do something radical. We're going to hire the best, most qualified person for the job. And the only way they'll keep the job is if they keep proving that they're the best. And if they slack off or if they don't perform, we'll fire them. Just like if you hire a coach of a football team, a baseball team, whatever, and the coach is hired and he fails, he doesn't make the playoffs for the first year or the second year and he has this horrible losing record, then the owner of the team says, you're fired, I hired you to win. You're not winning, therefore you're fired.
Okay, I'm going to hire somebody else. How radical is that concept? So this came out today, and here's what it said. The number one trait.
The number one trait was people who show initiative.
It tells you the importance of initiative. That's the number two. Most important thing that billionaires and successful people know is they must show initiative, and they must always be activating that initiative, energy. If you want to become successful, start showing more initiative.
Number three. What's the third one?
[00:40:12] Speaker B: No one knows.
[00:40:13] Speaker A: Nobody knows. I love it. Now they're giving up. They're going, listen, I surrender. I surrender. Kevin. I don't know what number one was or number two. Clearly, I don't know what number three is. I'm trying. And by the way, everything that you said are good traits that you should employ. There's no question you should. And some successful people employ them, others don't. There's a Mismismatch. But there's three that everyone does. So thinking big was the number. First one. Second one was initiative. What's number three? What's number three? Now, you were just at leadership weekend, Trey, where I went through the 30 leadership energies that people have. And it wasn't in an order of importance. It was just in an order in which we actually clear the counterintentions on those energies using the leadership processes. And people started like. The first one was initiative that we cleared, right? And people are going, oh, my God. I went home and I just cleaned up the house and I did this and everything. I feel so good. I'm not even thinking about it anymore. This is unbelievable. It's already working.
Anyone that you think would be the third one? Do you have any guesses?
[00:41:26] Speaker B: It kind of goes with initiative, but getting rid of procrastination.
[00:41:30] Speaker A: Okay, so Trey said that he had a little advantage. He was just at our leadership weekend when we went through these. He said, getting rid of procrastination, that's the opposite. That's the counterattention. Procrastination, the actual energy that leaders, billionaires, people that make a million dollars a year. People make half a million dollars a year. All employ is a philosophy. And it's an automatic. It's something that's in their DNA. It's something they don't even think about. And that is the do it now mentality, which is the exact opposite of putting it off or procrastination.
It's real simple.
Do you procrastinate? Do you put things off? And the answer, all of you are going to say, yeah, yeah, yeah. And I mean, not everything, Kevin, but certainly I do procrastinate. Perfect.
I remember Reverend Pat Robinson, who was the founder of Christian Broadcasting Network. And I knew Pat, and I was down there at cbn and I talked to them, and he built an amazing organization. This was a guy you want to talk about, a success story. For those of you who are Christians, this is an amazing success story. But those of you who are not Christians, it's still an amazing success story. He started with nothing. He went down to Myrtle beach and Virginia beach down there, and he built this network, a TV network, out of nothing, starting with nothing. Christian Broadcasting Network. And then he ran for president. I mean, it was an amazing story. He was asked in one of the interviews when he was running for president, and he said, what is one of your best traits?
And he said, I'm impatient.
I have to get everything done right now.
And he knew that was one of his best traits, impatience, which means I need to get it done now. The do it now attitude. Winners are not procrastinators. Winners don't put things off. Billionaires don't put things off.
There's a difference between initiative and do it now.
Doing it now is if you get an order, if you get a directive, if you're getting a request, do you get it done now? Let's just do it now. If you think of something to do, that's initiative. But if you do it right now, that's a do it now attitude. When you combine both of them, it's like taking two chemicals that are very powerful chemicals, but when you mix them together, it explodes. You have awesome power. And you combine that with thinking big. You can see how these. This is a 1, 2, 3 punch. That is unstoppable. It will make you unbeatable. It'll make you unstoppable. You have big dreams, big thoughts. You show massive initiative, and you have a do it now attitude with no procrastination. You're completely impatient. You need to get it done now because you take massive and immediate action. Massive and immediate action. Bill Gates said this. He was on the Larry King Show. Larry King was on cnn. He used to interview these people live. I knew Larry when Bill Gates was on. He was the richest man in the world, co founder of Microsoft. And Larry said, bill, are there any secrets to success? And Bill Gates said, yeah, you have to be at the right place at the right time, and you have to see the vision and the potential in things. And you have to think big. He actually said that was number two and number three, he says, but the biggest to me, the most important, he says, there were a lot of people at the same place I was. A lot of people saw the same potential. They thought as big as I was.
The difference, Larry, was I took massive and immediate action.
I did it right then. And there he goes, I'm impatient. I have to get things done, and I have to get them done yesterday.
Bam. You are seeing and hearing directly from these people who don't even know, really, but thinking big, showing initiative, and taking massive and immediate action, having a do it now attitude. You are programmed to procrastinate and put things off, because when you put things off, you don't have to confront.
That's an energy that is active in most people, and it creates massive fear. And. And it makes you very uncomfortable to confront things. You can't confront a person. You can't confront the situation.
When there's a disaster going on, winners confront. They assess the situation calmly, logically, and they want to know exactly what's going on, what is the situation? And all the little people around.
This happened to me a bunch of times. I brought some staff in, and I know there's a problem because nobody wants to look at me in the eye, and everyone's afraid to tell me. They're afraid to confront. So I go, what's the situation?
Well, you know, we get a little situation here that, you know, it's really not that big of a deal, Kevin. And that's what they're doing.
And I'm going, you know, we have to work on your confront. We're going to have to do some processing on you and clear the stuff out of your field and in your DNA, because you don't have the ability to confront what is the situation. Is there a nuclear bomb in the building? Did our warehouse burn to the ground? Did everybody get shot in, like a St. Valentine's Day massacre, like when Al Capone did that to the. To the Moran gang? Are all of our bank accounts frozen? Did we get lawsuits from the federal government? Is the FBI on the way to arrest us all? What's the problem? And they're all looking at me going, kevin just used the word problem. I go, what's the problem?
We can handle anything.
Even if it were one of those things that I just mentioned and that released the pressure, because clearly the situation was nothing as colossally bad as what I just mentioned. And they said, oh, well, we had two of our salesmen quit, and they're starting a competitive company. I go, that's not a problem.
Let's Celebrate. We should bring them in and have a party. Let's be proud, not sorry. When people leave and go into business of their own, I mean, I'm excited about them. I want them to be successful. Nothing to be sad about. Yeah, but our sales, they're taking a lot of our clients with us. That's okay.
Was it our clients or was it their clients? We could argue that. I says, but look, there's plenty of room for everybody to succeed.
Let's say let's celebrate their success. Let's hope they succeed. Let's let them know that we're here to support them.
And everybody was just blown away. Those guys succeeded and we continued to succeed too.
Everybody was happy and we remain good friends by the way. The point is that's confront energy.
When you can't confront, you always have to put it off.
Tomorrow, manana, manana tomorrow, tomorrow.
Successful people have a do it now attitude. Art Williams, who was the owner of Al Williams Insurance Co. A multi level marketing insurance company which is now called Primerica. Art Williams wrote a book and it was called do it now. And the whole book is about why scientifically it is so powerful to get into the habit of do it now. When you think of something, just do it now, don't put it off, do it now, take some action. Ron Ball, who many of you know, good friend of mine and he's been speaking a lot of gin events. I've known Ron for 25, 30 years. Ron and I did a seminar about 15 years ago. And one of the things that Ron did in that seminar and he just reiterated it at our family reunion event back in November, is the scientific neuroscience. How the brain reacts when you think of doing something and then take action on it within 24 hours.
The brain and how it reacts to that is completely different than if you think about doing something and then put it off for 48 or 72 hours.
The chemicals that are released, the neural pathways that are established, the parts of the brain that light up and get activated, the hormones, everything changes. It's like night and day.
If you want to be successful, you must get in the do it now mentality. But you have a procrastination mentality. I put it off till tomorrow mentality, I'm afraid to confront it mentality, I'm afraid to get start. You have this inability, you have all these stops in your field. It's in your DNA that comes from your ancestors and then it's also in your own memory banks. You have a habit of I'll put it off Till tomorrow. You have the procrastination habit, and it's a failure habit.
It's similar to excuse itis in the book the Magic of thinking big. The first chapter is believe you can succeed, and you will. And the second chapter is cure yourself of excuse itis the failure disease.
Procrastination is simply making excuses why you can't start today.
Successful people are always too busy doing what the other guys are still talking about.
Losers, by the way, are always good at one making excuses.
Think about it.
Excuse itis the failure disease. That means procrastination. Putting things off is the failure disease.
If you look at all the billionaires, all the people that are worth $500 million or more, all the people that are worth $100 million or more, all the people that make a million dollars or more a year, they all employ these three things, and none of them procrastinate. None of them make excuses. They have a habit of doing it now. Do it now. Do it now.
You take advantage of this material.
You use your willpower to employ these three steps. Think big, show initiative, and do it now. And watch your life skyrocket and start watching all of your dreams coming true. I'm Kevin Trudeau. This is the Kevin Trudeau show Limitless, because you are limitless.
Make sure that you like us, you comment, leave comments, share this video and subscribe now. I do have a little bit of news today. John Denny, as you know, is our new executive director, producer, guru, head, top banana, CEO, managing director of the show. He has a long job title which he produced for himself and I. Yeah, he's worth that very lengthy job title. He is the king.
[00:53:28] Speaker B: He's the king.
[00:53:29] Speaker A: He's the king. So John was in Doral down in Florida with us, and he had a king meeting. He called court, and I was invited to go to court, which I didn't really want to go to court, but I went to his court. You get the idea. Anyway, so John said, kevin, we're gonna make the show better than ever before. We're gonna get a million subscribers. We're gonna get tens of millions of views every week. And we have to have a real strong strategy in play. So John is working on some things. So starting next week, the first thing he decided was, until further notice, we will be doing one show a week instead of two. Just one, of course. My philosophy, well, let's do six or seven a week, or 10 a week or 20 a week. And John said, no, got to promote each one. There's a strategy here. We can improve or increase later. But we're going to one show a week starting next week. And that show is going to be on Wednesdays.
[00:54:21] Speaker B: Yes, Wednesdays at 9am Central.
[00:54:24] Speaker A: Right. So it's going to be at Wednesdays, but we're putting it up earlier. Instead of going live or putting the show up at 1:00 Central, we will be Wednesday and the show will go up on YouTube and the other platforms at 9am right, 9am Chicago, 9am Chicago time. So starting next week, there'll be no show on Monday. It'll be Wednesday only going forward for a while.
So until these numbers get up, it'll be Wednesday only, every Wednesday, 9am Chicago time.
So that's going to be exciting because John is working behind the scenes to put together a whole bunch of material to make these shows even more enhanced and give you more value for the amount of time you spend watching the show, the content and the material and the value you're gonna get for free just by watching the show. I give away all the stuff for free. That's the other thing that John kept on saying. You need to give everybody this material for free on the show.
So I said, okay, well who's paying your salary? How are we paying your salary again? Because we need to bring in some money somehow.
Anyways, we'll figure that out. John said, we'll figure that out later. We'll figure that out later. So I hope you're enjoying the show. So comment, comment, comment. Like the show. Share it with everybody and subscribe. I'm Kevin Trudeau. Thanks for watching. I will see you next Wednesday, 9 o'clock Chicago time. Going forward, every Wednesday, 9 o'clock Chicago Time. That's the new time for the show. You're gonna start loving it. We're working on producing world class shows with world class content to improve the quality of your life and help you improve your standard of living in every area. Much love everybody. See you next week.
