Stop wasting your time. I'm going to share with you the seven things that I quit to go from

broke to multi-millionaire. When kids come up to me in my supercars, they always ask, what do you do? But I always share with them, it's not what I do, it's what I don't do. 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. My best selling book,

i grew up with this friend that i've known since elementary school and i realized that he'd only ever

call me when he needed something from me never called me when i had something to share that was good

he never called me when he heard that i was having a hard time he never called me for any other reason

then he needed somebody to help him move something or maybe borrow some money or he was bored. And I realized that is not the kind of friend I wanted my life. So I just decided to stop responding to his calls, to create some space, to not respond so quickly. I asked myself one day, what does a great friend look like? And it occurred to me, there was no part of the characteristics

to what a great friend would act like. He was acting. And yet I just believe because I sat next to him

in math class that I had to be friends with him for the rest of my life. That's crazy. Spend time with

people who want more for you, not more from you. There's a lot of people out there. And if they're

not a good friend when you're winning and an ear when you're not doing well, you don't want those people in your life. And that's why I call it a friend Ventura. You want to audit the people around you and cut them out if they're not supporting your dreams. If they make it hard for you to win, why would you want those people in your life? And the cool part is if you say no to somebody, you eventually say yes to a new

friend. You create the space for somebody new to come into your life that can support you and

propel you forward. The way I think about it is today's energy shapes tomorrow's reality. So I have to

protect my energy. If you want your life to get better, you have to change your energy. You have to

show up with more positivity and

opportunity and positive expectation. That's how you change your life. And the truth is,

is your environment is everything. Think about it. You could have the most positive attitude

and wish that everything is hot. But if I put you in a commercial freezer, you're going to freeze

to death. Your environment sets your internal

thermostat, not your positive attitude. So make sure that you really audit the people around you. If you want to stop wasting your life, the first thing you need to do is cut out everyone's sucking your energy. Which brings us to number two, which is don't ask for advice from people who haven't done what you want to do.
