| 0:00.0 | Welcome, David Meltzer. |
| 0:01.9 | How's it going, David? |
| 0:02.8 | Phenomenal. |
| 0:03.4 | It's such a pleasure and an honor to be in the winners club and to share not only the lessons |
| 0:08.7 | and the stories, but hopefully I've paid a lot of dummy tax and I'm hoping that others don't |
| 0:14.7 | have to pay the most expensive tax that nobody talks about, the dummy tax. |
| 0:18.5 | This is what it's all about. |
| 0:19.6 | So, David, through your lifetime, |
| 0:21.2 | what were some of the dumbest, dumbest mistakes you've made? And what did you learn from it? |
| 0:26.0 | Well, first of all, the dumbest mistake I made was not to ask for help. You know, the fastest and |
| 0:30.6 | the easiest way to get to where you want to be is find someone that's already there and ask |
| 0:34.3 | them for directions. And through that process, I learned a great lesson that I |
| 0:39.0 | continually practice today, which is you're either humble or you're about to be. And regardless of |
| 0:45.2 | other people think of you, they usually think too highly of you or too lowly of you. In order to have |
| 0:50.3 | a predisposition of humility, we have to know that we don't know what we don't know. |
| 0:54.5 | And other people in the same subjects or topics or expertise in which we are pursuing, they may |
| 1:01.7 | have actually experienced what you are about to experience. And so I wish somebody would have |
| 1:07.6 | told me at a very young age as I was a multimillionaire at a very young age, number one, ask for help, and two, you're either humble or you're about to be. So let's rewind that a little bit because, I mean, at a young age and you're making millions. I mean, in my mind, I'm like, well, why do I need to ask for help? Because I'm making millions, right? The proof is in the pudding. I'm successful. |
| 1:32.7 | So for somebody out there who is seeing rapid success, making millions at a young age, what's some of the signs that you need help? What are some of the signs that I need a mentor? |
| 1:37.9 | Right? Because you're rich. And that's exactly what got me into trouble, brother. |
| 1:44.0 | I'm going to tell you that you may be good at one thing. |
| 1:48.0 | That does not mean you're good at everything. |
