Everyone is Born Rich. Except...

YOUTUBE 📚 THE READING LIFE 📚 PATREON

📚 Hey! Time to win.

I started reading this great new book today by the personal development legend, Bob Proctor.

Don’t let his “prosperity preacher” vibes throw you off - I always find tons of valuable stuff in his books, most recently in Change Your Paradigm, Change Your Life. 

My full notes from that book are right here, but the new book I’m reading now is called Born Rich. Same author.

Inside, he says something that I thought was super cool:

What he means is that most people are searching for the “secrets to success” outside of themselves, when in reality, they had them all along.

They were born rich.

Born rich with innate strengths and capabilities.

Born rich with unique personalities and affinities.

Born rich with opportunity and drive and relentlessness.

Born rich with everything they need to have to succeed.

Well YOU were born rich too. Pardon my language, but I know you’re rich as fuck. It just may be that you’re short on cash right now.

But keep bringing what’s inside to the outside, and you’ll see that you already have everything you need.

There are still 11 spots remaining inside The Competitive Advantage community and you can grab one of the last remaining ones here.

If you want my personal help to add between $1-5K/month in monthly recurring revenue to your business, and grow your audience and authority by leaps and bounds at the same time, that’s exactly where you need to be. Join here.

Another solid day of productivity, although I STILL didn’t get that first YouTube video up. I will NOT fall behind though - YouTube is a PRIORITY this year. Instead of rushing it, though (and being underprepared to record my podcast interview tomorrow), I decided to upload it tomorrow.

Tomorrow will be great though: I’ve got an interview with the author of Retirement Money Secrets, Steve Selengut, and I’m going to be spending the rest of the day reading and drafting some articles and breakdowns.

But hey, it’s 3:00AM here right now and I’m going to bed!

All the best,

Matt Karamazov
