[0:00]Talent has absolutely nothing to do with why some people get rich and you do not. I always look at IQ and and talent are sort of representing the uh the horsepower of the motor, but then in terms of the output, the efficiency which which the motor works, that depends on rationality. The problem is entirely skill set. It's not that you're average, it's that you don't have a skill set. I do think that we should all challenge ourselves to be self-aware and try to figure out the talents and then if we're lucky that those talents match something we're interested in doing, we have to go pod committed to that. Wealth is simply the result of doing the exact same boring, highly effective habits every single day until you win. What you're describing is often sometimes called a keystone habit. and the idea is you do one thing and it like ripples into other areas of your life. Every single qualification for success is acquired through habit. At your age, you know, you will have the habits 20 years from now that you decide to put into practice today. So I just suggest that that you you look at the habits you admire in others or the behavior you admire in others and and make those your own uh habits. If you rely on random bursts of motivation instead of building these habits, you will completely fail at every business you try to start. People form habits and habits form futures. If you don't deliberately form good habits, then unconsciously, you'll form bad ones. I took various people that I really admired. And I took some of the qualities that I really admired in them, and I'd write them down. I wasn't going to be like them, but I was going to develop a couple of these qualities or habits. Aristotle said that 95% of everything you do is the result of habit. So the rule is, form good habits and make them your masters. Let's look at Warren Buffett. He did not build his massive wealth by guessing stock prices or relying on natural talent. He built it by using the most boring habit imaginable. He spends 80% of his day just sitting alone in a quiet room, reading 500 pages of financial reports and books. He started from scratch and uses exact daily action to compound his knowledge until he became a billionaire. The magic is always in the boring repetition. Now, you might be thinking, Evan, I do not have time to sit in a room for eight hours a day, and I definitely do not have money to invest. But that's exactly the point. You do not need money and you do not need eight free hours. You just need to build the right small habits that take zero dollars to start. And today, I'm going to show you exactly what those five daily actions are so you can start building real wealth right now. If you've been here before, drop a hashtag believe in the comments below, so I can feature you here in a future video, and if you're new, welcome to Believe Nation, the only channel that helps you believe in yourself daily, one video at a time. Believe.
[2:54]Habit number one, reprogram your environment. So you are a direct reflection of the information you consume every single day. If your bank account is at $0 right now, your current environment is perfectly designed to keep you exactly where you are. You cannot expect to build a massive financial empire while you listen to negative news and hang around people who constantly complain. You must take strict control over the voices you allow into your head. Every morning, you have a distinct choice. You can scroll through social media and feel terrible about your life, or you can intentionally put the voices of massive success into your ear. So I do this practice every morning. I call it the believe walk. I do not wake up feeling naturally like I want to go out and conquer the world. I wake up and I'm tired, and I can think about the overwhelm of my day ahead. So I go outside, walk for 15 minutes and I intentionally put a video of a famous entrepreneur on while I'm going outside. I listened to their stories because I need their belief. I want their ambition to completely take over my mind. And the science actually really backs us up. The American Psychological Association published a massive report showing that constantly consuming negative media increases your stress levels and completely kills your motivation to act. So you have to cut the negativity out of your life today. Unsubscribe from the channels that make you feel small and defeated, start your day with a video or a podcast from someone who forces you to think bigger. Take the Believe Walk challenge with us. Once you fix your daily environment, you will finally have the mental energy to take action. But energy alone will not make you wealthy, you have to actually move. And the fastest way to do that is what I will show you in the next habit. Habit number two, build instant momentum. Perfectionism is just a fancy word for fear, right? You're just afraid. Waiting for the perfect business plan or the perfect camera gear will completely keep you broke forever. Getting rich from $0 requires you to build the daily habit of taking messy, uncomfortable action. The biggest thing you're missing right now is just momentum. The very first step is always the hardest step to take. You just need to start moving. When I started this YouTube channel, I was a shy, introverted kid from Toronto. I sucked on camera. I made 350 videos before I could even watch myself without feeling completely embarrassed by myself, by most of my content. Most of those early videos got very few views, but I built the daily habit of hitting record anyway. I expected to suck at the start. And that one habit of everyday showing up with imperfect action is exactly what built this empire. Taking small daily actions physically changes your brain structure. A famous psychology study published in the European Journal of Social Psychology proved that practicing a small daily behavior turns it into an automatic habit over time. So it completely bypasses the need for daily motivation. Stop overthinking your grandmaster plan, find the tiny 2% difference that you can make right now today. Send one single email, record one bad video, write one rough page. Just build the momentum. Also, if you want to take real action after this video, I made a free worksheet just for you. It covers the top lessons from today, gives you space to write your biggest takeaways and helps you create a simple action plan. It's 100% free, just click the link in the description below to go grab it. I'll see you there. Taking action is incredible, but you cannot just run in a random direction. You need to point that powerful momentum at a specific problem to actually make real money. That reality leads directly to the third habit. Habit number three, turn your pain into purpose. You do not need to invent a crazy new technology to get rich. The most profitable business ideas come directly from your own personal struggles. Your true purpose always comes from your pain. The people who make the most money in the world are simply the ones who solve the biggest problems for other people. So if you want to know exactly what business to start with $0, look at the hardest thing that you have ever overcome in your own life. You are uniquely qualified to help the exact person you used to be. So I struggled horribly in my first business. I was making $300 a month and I felt completely alone. I wanted to quit. I told my business partner one day that I wanted to quit. I survived that deep pain. And now my life is dedicated to helping entrepreneurs so they do not have to struggle the same way I did. You can look at Oprah Winfrey. She survived extreme poverty and childhood trauma. She did not hide from her painful past. She used her deep understanding of human suffering to build a massive media empire focused on empathy and healing. She turned her absolute darkest moments into her greatest financial asset. So every single day, you can ask yourself, how can you serve someone else who is currently facing the pain that you already beat? When you wake up every day trying to solve a real problem for real people, the money will naturally follow. But you still need a proven strategy to execute your purpose. This is exactly where the fourth habit changes everything. Habit number four, model the greats. Trying to figure everything out on your own is a massive waste of time. Whatever you want to achieve, somebody else in history has already done it. You do not have to guess, you just have to model success. The biggest mistake you can make right now is looking at a billionaire today and trying to copy their current daily routine. You must copy their rise, not the result. You have to study exactly what they did on day one when they had $0, just like you. When I was failing in my first software company, I didn't know what to do. I called my partner, I told him I quit. It was one of the worst nights of my life. And so I looked at a successful software entrepreneur to model. I picked Bill Gates. I said exactly how he got his very first client when Microsoft was just a tiny startup in a dusty garage. I took his exact strategy, applied it to my own struggling business and landed my first deal that completely saved my company. Psychology calls this process observational learning. Albert Bandura published a famous theory called the social learning theory. He proved that people learn new behaviors the absolute fastest simply by observing and imitating others. So pick your ultimate hero, or at least pick someone who's done the thing that you want to do. Find out what they did when they were completely broke. Practice the habit of copying their beginner actions every single day. So you now have the environment, the momentum, the purpose and the model, but there is one final daily habit that will hold everything together when times get incredibly tough.
[9:44]Habit number five, audit your belief system. Lack of belief is the biggest problem in the entire world right now. You can have the best business model and the perfect mentor, but if you do not believe you can actually win, you will self-sabotage before you even start. Building wealth from $0 requires you to practice extreme self-belief every single day. When the people around you tell you that your idea is crazy, you have to be the one who stands strong. You have to borrow belief from your heroes until you can generate it for yourself. So think about exactly who you were 10 years ago. You are an absolute impossibility right now to your younger self. The things you have survived and the things you have accomplished will completely blow the mind of the younger you. You have to apply that exact same logic to your future. Dr. Carol Dweck from Stanford University spent decades proving that your core belief about your own potential directly dictates your financial success. People who practice a daily growth mindset actually rewire their physical brains to overcome massive failures and build wealth. So every single day, you must consciously train your mind to reject doubt. Trust that the ideas that come to you when you feel bold are the right ones. Your daily belief is the only engine that will drive you from $0 to absolute financial freedom.
[11:22]Your time is now. So take the tools from today and start building your legacy right now. Do not let fear keep you trapped in a financial situation you hate. Make today count by taking one tiny step forward. Your future wealth depends entirely on the choices you make today. Congratulations, you're one step closer to who you're meant to be. Believe.
