The first step to going from broke to rich is to have a complete mindset shift.
Getting rich is not based on a monetary value.
Rich is a mindset, and once you master this mindset, you will get richer every single day.
You will see yourself becoming more wealthy, unlike most people who see themselves becoming poorer every single day.
One day, people will tell you you’ve made it, but the reality is that you became rich even when you had $0 in the bank.
In fact, unless you become rich even when you have $0 in the physical realm, you will never earn a single dollar without having to work a job.
Let me explain.
Ordinary people are easily able to make moves, earn money and build an empire in the game of Monopoly.
All it requires is for them to know the rules of the game, play the game and roll the dice.
That being said, in real life, these same people who know the rules of Monopoly struggle to earn money without a paycheck and can never seem to get ahead.
Why is this the case?
Monopoly is a game that is identical to the real world of business.
The reason most people do not succeed in real life is because they are not even aware that they are playing a game.
They do not realize that making money is a game, and they are off on the sidelines, working a job to earn Monopoly money.
And as we all know, Monopoly Money is not real.
Likewise, US dollars are not real.
They are backed by absolutely nothing and have no value besides what we determine as a society.
They are not backed by gold or silver or anything that has any intrinsic value.
In fact, US dollars are completely fake.
Since 1971, when President Nixon took us off the gold standard, US dollars became debt.
The rich use debt to get richer.

Back to the discussion of the game.
The majority of people do not play the game, and instead play at a lower level of the game where they trade their time for money.
That is why they are called NPCs, non-playable characters.
They do not play because they do not want to learn.
They do not want to admit that the system is a game.
That is why they stay where they are and never level up.
The majority of the population is stuck in this position.
The game is played by those who seek out the game.
Those who are educated about the game and know the rules of it.
The reason most do not learn the rules of the game is due to fear.
They are scared of losing their hard earned money.
The reason this is the case is because they attach a very high value to currency.
Because these dollars represent their toil, sweat, labor and years of their life, they develop an emotional attachment to it.
They adopt a scarcity mindset, in which they believe that they will never have enough.
They believe in notions of shortages, which prevent them from going after what they really want out of life.
This mentality is a complete illusion.
There is more money on the planet today than there has ever been before.
Part of the reason why people believe that there is a scarcity of money is due to what they were taught by their broke family members and teachers.
They were told lies such as “Money doesn’t grow on trees”.
The reality is that money is printed exponentially faster than trees can even grow.
First, you must realize that working for money is a complete scam and find out a way to make money without having to work a job.
This is much harder than it sounds.
The best way to embrace this mindset is to keep going broke.
Invest in yourself and your education.
Spend all your money on books to develop knowledge.
Try out business ideas and fail at them.
Get back up and persist until you win.
Never give up.
What you will learn through this process is that you have unlimited energy within you to go out and earn more money.
You can never run out of money as long as there is air in your lungs and your heart is still beating.
When I started off, I would invest all my money into books and education.
I used to go sit at Starbucks and just read books like Think and Grow Rich for hours on end.
I would underline ideas I could implement into my life, and then proceed to take action on what I had learned.
I learned the power of visualization, the Law of Attraction, goal setting, the art of persistence and how to transmute desires into reality.
While others were drinking, doing drugs and living for the weekend, I was taking self-education seriously.
Others thought their degree ensured success, which is ludicrous.
They thought doing the same as everyone else would lead them to extraordinary results.
It was clear as day to me that these people were headed straight to the bottom while I was headed straight to the top.
When I decided to get rich once and for all, I began to drive for UberEats.
I did 4 trips a day to make $40, spent it all on inventory, spent the rest of the day sourcing at Goodwill or Walmart and then drove for UberEats again.
I did not care if I lost the money I had invested because I could always do more trips.
What I learned from doing this is that you can always generate more money.
Holding on to money out of scarcity is for losers who will never get rich.
Once I knew this for a fact, I began to roll the dice.
I took chances and patiently waited for the outcomes.
Just like in the game of Monopoly, the only way to play the game is to roll the dice.
You roll the dice by risking what you have.
You might get lucky, or you might get hit with an unexpected loss.
That being said, the rewards only go to those who roll the dice.
The person who has Boardwalk and Park Place is a person who rolled the dice many times, and didn’t give up even when it seemed like the chips were stacked against him.
The person who does not roll the dice has nothing, has no opportunities and is poor.
Poor not only in monetary value, but also in mindset.
In real life, only a few play the game.
That is why 1% control most of the money on this planet.
99% of people have been convinced to not take risks and to stay away from the game completely.
It is always their broke family members, negative friends and dipshit school teachers who tell them this garbage.
Instead, they have been encouraged to whine, bitch, complain and protest like fucking losers.
This blog is written for one percenters who want to get rich by any means necessary.
The first step to change your mindset is to begin viewing dollar bills as Monopoly money.
I’m not telling you to go out and blow your life savings on inventory.
I’m telling you to change the way you view money and to let go of the emotional attachment you have to it.
This attachment causes you to develop scarcity, which repels money and success away from you.
Abundance is what brings in more money and more success.
The way to win at the game is to actually play.
Roll the dice and take your chances.
Move forward one step at a time.
Study everything you can.
Be obsessed with the game.
Learn from your failures and vow to become better every single day.
You will experience losses; it’s inevitable.
However, the wins will far outweigh the losses, if you stay diligent and know what you are doing.
You can only know what you are doing from experience, not from reading books all day.
Books are the framework that your knowledge is built upon, but at a certain point you have to take action.
Ideas are only valuable in implementation, but having the right ideas are imperative in knowing what moves to take.
In conclusion, use Monopoly money to get rich now.
Your dollar bills are not real.
Wake up and start playing the game.
