Every time that I’m in a room, I see someone get up and leave. Then another. Then another. I’m always the last one, left alone, in every room. I can’t figure out why.
Inflation is killing my budget and my salary. I can't invest and it seems like I will need to sell all of my risk assets to keep my head above the water this year.
I love your videos but what’s the point of being a millionaire if you can’t spend the money. I say enjoy your money and life while you are still young. I’m definitely frugal but I will treat myself to a dinner or a mani/pedi.
It depends on what are your priorities. I’m a caregiver and seen elder going to the next life. Their advice “enjoy life enjoy family, and if you are gonna work do it to enjoy what you do and enjoy what you worked for. Do not be a slave to money or to your job. What’s the point of working and making a lot of money if at the end you are not going to enjoy it. Just recently I was working with a man who worked hard all of his life, he said he never big a new car that he didn’t know what the smell was, not because he didn’t have the money, but because he chose to save that money to have more for his retirement. Ask me where he is now, and if he is enjoying what he made. Others are though.
@@mep1111 Yeah, most people who are millionaires in the US are retired people who worked normal jobs for an average salary and invested into their 401k
I completed University 6+ years ago but up until now I haven't been able to find a job that pays me well or on time and I still have no stable source of income. This video is such an eye opener because I've been contemplating starting a UA-cam Channel and doing TikTok videos I know I can also become a millionaire and I'll make sure that dream comes to fruition
@@xejelah I have been more active on Facebook and TikTok and I started a huge garden. Also grew crops... I'm not moving as fast as I'd like but I'm definitely not where I'd like to be but far better than I was a year ago
Congratulations on becoming a Millionaire. I remember your 1st video's how hard it was for all the trolls bothering you. You are an awesome example of success. Thank you for all you encouragement.
I think "Stop Pursuing Active Income" chapter has a fault. The example of making a youtube course, specifically, and making it perfect ("as comprehensive as possible"). It sounds like a suggestion to make a huge project right away. But one really needs a lot of experience and dedication to complete it. This only applies to well experienced and extremely internally motivated people. I guess that's what it takes to be a millionaire, but IMO this part has to be said. Also striving for perfection goes against 80\20 rule, which IMO is essential to being efficient with time.
I discovered your channel through a Short. I’m so happy I did! I’m intrigued and hooked already and as I explore your content more I’ll let you know what I decide to do. I too want to be an independent millionaire . I can tell you that you have great eye contact with the camera. It feels like your talking directly to me not a mass audience. I like that! Thank you and I’m off to explore your content. 👍
I'm afraid to invest because I don't trust the system. I have my money in 2 bank accounts in case one goes corrupt and keep cash at home. Lately I'm thinking about real estate because it's an actual, material thing that's a necessity for life. Even if the entire system collapses it will be usable.
Smart, Beautiful, Powerful and Rich Woman. I am proud of you. I am in my mid forties and still believe in the dream of becoming a millionaire. Starting the journey this year. I am not going down without a fight!!!!!
You mean, how rich people can get even richer tips and tricks. Lol Ppl living from paycheck to paycheck do not have the luxury to just ignore counting pennies and subcontracting work out. This video: if you're homeless, just buy a house."🤦♂️
Biggest step is to have rich or at least middle class parents that can give you at least some support and that you don't have to support yourself. Most rich people like to think that the started from nothing, it makes for a better story
This isn’t for poor ppl. I got out of poverty. Biggest thing was to work a lot and move up. I usually recommend Walmart for this as that’s how I did it. Pay is great and the insurance is amazing. Bought our house while working at Walmart and supporting my spouse who at the time wasn’t working.
I really like this video that you did particularly the part about exchanging time for money. I’m a mentor with the small business administration one of my mentees was using the same verbiage and I’ve used it for a long time and I’ve often said that if you can find a way to make money while you’re sleeping you got the perfect thing. Keep up the great work love it absolutely love it!
Ah great to see you once again,it's been a minute since I watch one of your videos I also watch your shots too,I think any thing is possible I just got to put my mind to it.
If time is money, and you are limited on time, then you must take other people's time to make more money. How will you make more money if you don't subject others to what you said you don't want to do: chase pennies.
Help me please, I have seven figures I want to invest. I'm retired and 67 year old man . I need a plan. Please help. Where do I begin. Banks? Fiduciary advisors? Thanks I'm glad I found you again.
You COMPLETELY skipped the part where you earn the money to go to law school. Take away your law degree and you’d still be walking around in your suit.
Exactly. Literally EVERY single one of her advice videos always starts *after* she’s already spent years and thousands of dollars at college. Where did she get THAT money from? She never explains.
Wow! What an amazing video! I am currently in transformation of my mindset and on my way to becoming a millionaire. I knew from the day I met you that I wanted to be the "not smartest" person I YOUR room. Your courage to break free from your conditioned mindset and take action to become the person you were meant to be is inspiring. Seeing your social presence growth and impact over the last year has shown me that the dream is real if you adopt these new habits. Also, never heard of Loom. I am signing up now. I use all of your applicable referral links. Do you have an affliaye link to the book? I am following your framework to build my business 💖
Absolutely love it! The letting go of what others think of you goes beyond starting a UA-cam channel. My first video (that I did post) was AWFUL. Slowly my videos got a little better (I think). Many people told me to take that video down. I told myself: "No. I want people to see the human in me, and to let them know that it is all a matter of learning, growing and improving, and doing what you love.", so thank you! This is such an important message for a happy life. ❤❤❤
🌻 Surround yourself with positivity. Whether it's people, environments, or thoughts, stay in spaces that nurture growth and uplift your spirit. Success thrives in positive energy. 🌟
The part she just breezes over though is… you gotta go to law school first for all of this, lol. No job that pays $480/hr is going to hire you unless you’re EXTREMELY qualified… and in order to become EXTREMELY qualified, you have to pay a bunch of money to go to school first, sacrifice your mental health and social life to get through college, etc.
Loved this video and I feel most people would take a look at the title and coil back given you are sharing what you stopped doing to become a millionaire, it most likely hits like the word budget... sounding restrictive in nature, but ultimately setting you free.. The reality is someone has to change their mindset and lifestyle to get to millionaire status...
Well that's something she set herself up as a goal. If you're not a lawyer or don't have a profession that can pay you that money, start small and work your way up. Can't be working on a minimum wage for the rest of your life.
Now I am afraid all these smarter people will not let me in the room with them. Guessing I will be in a room by myself watching others,' videos. At least Erika will let me learn from her that way.
Why? Some people like to teach and others might want to pass the torch. Don't sell yourself short - not everyone comes from money - so many of them were in your position at one time or another.
I struggle with this, I mean we wouldn't function as a society if everyone was doing this. It also wouldn't work and people just don't have the luxury of giving up everything. We need people to do the 'shallow work' otherwise were would even you be?
Eah but he catch is this telling people that many of them will end up very poor is not what people are looking for. It is honest but so many in finance know telling them they have a chance to be rich will get views and subs and watch time. They are attempting to catch flies with honey rather than with vinger.
I'm glad this approach you have described worked for you but it is not practical for everyone. You won't respond to this though because that's 'shallow work'.
Some people don't have a choice but to exchange time for money. Even as a businessowner, you trade time for money. Quit putting time in your business and you won't have a business,

You missed the point, she actually said that you shouldn't chase pennies...
Sometimes it's not about the money but rather about optionality and freedom 🤔
