| 0:00.0 | Hey, if you want to become a millionaire before 40 years old, skip the fluff. |
| 0:03.1 | Here are 40 hard-earned real-life lessons that actually moved the needle for me, and I've helped thousands of others do the same. Now, why 40? Because I just turned 40. Oh, I'm so old. So this is sort of like a reflection video on the things that actually helped me become a millionaire before this. So some of you already were going to know this stuff, some of this great. Now ask yourself, though, how can I do them better or more consistently? |
| 0:23.5 | And some of these things are probably going to just punch you in the gut. And you're going to be like, I never thought of that. And hopefully it'll change your life. Now, if you find these tips helpful, the best way you can repay me is to just hit that like button. A little one below the video. Helps my ego. helps us reach more people, and subscribe if you like content on building wealth |
| 0:37.7 | without losing your soul in the process. Now, my name is Brandon Turner, and here are the 40 |
| 0:42.2 | tips for becoming a millionaire for those under 40. Number one, set a vision that scares you. |
| 0:48.5 | Now, what I mean by that is when you look at the future, if you don't know where you're going, |
| 0:52.9 | how are you going to reverse engineer a way to get there? And so what exactly does that look like? And if it scares you, |
| 0:57.9 | that's the point. It'd be like, I don't know how I'm going to get there, but I would want that. So it scares me not knowing how to get there. Now, early on when I was like 20, I read a book on rental property investing. That's what I do today. I do a lot of real estate. I read this book on |
| 1:09.3 | rental properties and I saw a vision, |
| 1:12.3 | a way to reverse engineer how to get there. So from like, hey, if you started here and you bought this in year one and this in year four and this in year five and you sold them and you bought this, you can have a million dollars by, you know, in 10 years. Bleu my mind. And so I said, that's what I'm going to do. I'm going to build. I'm going to become a millionaire by 30. |
| 1:28.1 | That's what I said. Millionaire by 30. I had no idea how I was going to get |
| 1:31.0 | there, but I said I was going to get there. That was my vision that scared me. And guess what? I pulled it off. I remember at 30 years old, I was doing a financial, you know, audit thing on myself for a loan, an application, I guess I call that. |
| 1:41.2 | And I looked down and there was a number. |
| 1:42.6 | I hit over a million dollars because I had that vision. |
| 1:45.1 | So do you have a vision of where you're going and not necessarily how you're going to get there, but a vision of where you're going and then will you start working to reverse engineer that to get there? Number two. And this might be a silly one, but marry the right person. Honestly, if you marry somebody who is constantly telling you we can't do that, no, you're dumb, you're not going to be able to make that money. They're not the right person. Now, if you're already married to them, you know, you're going to have to suck it up and figure our way around it. But if you have the choice of marrying somebody who's going to grow in the same direction as you, do that. Other thing about marrying somebody, it's like the ultimate wealth hack because all of a sudden you can make twice as much money, but have the same expenses. |
| 2:34.9 | You know, you had rent before, you have rent now. And so when you have, you know, maybe you have an extra car payment. But the idea is if you have a spouse that what we call a cash flow negative spouse or constantly spending all your money all the time, they will not listen to reason when it comes of saving and budgeting and all that, you're going to struggle your entire life. And so having a spouse that's |
| 2:39.0 | on board and you're rolling in the same direction, could not pick a better tip for that one. |
| 2:43.4 | And I was super lucky with that. I found an amazing woman, Heather, she's awesome. And yeah, |
| 2:48.0 | we, you know, she didn't come with the idea of real estate and wealth and |
| 2:51.9 | making money. Like, we were both completely fresh and new, but she was adaptable. She listened to me. She read Rich Dad, Poor Dad. When I asked her to read it, I had to read Twilight to get her to do it. But she read Rich Dad, Poor Dad, and she's like, oh, I get it. And so, you know, we, again, we didn't start with the right mindset, but we grew together in that way. |
| 3:08.1 | Tip number three, buy assets, not liabilities. |
| 3:10.8 | I just mentioned Rich Dad |
