I'm going to share with you the 17 rules of success. These rules are what make the top 0.01% of people successful.

Some of these rules are what I used to make my first million before 27 years old, and others are from what I've observed rubbing shoulders with some of the richest people in history.

So without further explaining it, these are the 17 rules of success.

Welcome to the Martel method. I went from rehab at 17 to building a $100 million empire and being a Wall Street Journal bestselling author. In this

podcast, I'll show you exactly how to build a life and business you don't grow to hate. And make

sure you don't miss anything by subscribing to my newsletter at martel method.com. The first rule is to ignore advice from the bottom 99.9%. If you want to be rich,

don't listen to broke people. The truth is, if your parents, your friends, your teachers have

achieved the thing that you want to achieve, then great advice. If they haven't, then don't

internalize it. Don't respond to it. At the end of the day, a lot of people in your life, your parents, your friends, your teachers, they all want to see you not hurt. They don't want you to go through pain. So they're going to give you advice. It's going to help you avoid that. But the truth is, if you want to be successful, you actually have to go through pain. You have to look forward to

challenges. You have to do things that other people aren't willing to do so you can live a life that very few people can. There's this concept called crabs in a bucket. And oftentimes people don't want to see you do better than them because if you do, then essentially you're showing them the truth of where they've been living a lie.

So what do they do? They pull on those crabs, pull them down the bucket. They stay stuck. This is

what happens. Oftentimes in small communities and small towns, in certain countries, that is just

the default behavior towards people that are trying to win and be successful. So don't be upset.

Just don't pander to it. Find people that

have done it before and ask them for the advice. Get the support from them. Asking people that have

never done the thing you want to do, what you should do with your life is not a winning strategy.

Which brings us to number two, which is the results you're looking for is in the work you're

avoiding.

Before we get back to the episode,

if you actually want to know what my real life looks like and see the people and the businesses

and the companies I buy and my family
