I’m Broke – What if I don’t have enough money to follow my passion?


what if I don’t have enough money to
follow my passion so I got a great
question for my YouTube viewers love you
guys
Ospreys o-69 who wrote in to say what do
I do if my passion is too big I don’t
have enough money for it
in that case isn’t it okay to start with
something else which will give me the
initial money so here’s the thing
okay this is a great question I know one
that people struggle with a lot you know
you have this vision for what you want
to do with yourself with your career the
people you want to help them the
lifestyle you want to live and then you
see where you are now and there’s such a
big gap and you’re like how do I feel
that gap how do I go and accomplish that
money is not going to be the answer for
you okay it’s not going out and doing
something that you hate to make money to
do something that you love okay I don’t
want you to go launch some kind of
business just to try to make money to
fund something else the best way to do
it is to make money while you learn
everything you need to know about that
skill that you’ll need to accomplish
your dream so let me give an example
okay I don’t know what your big vision
your passion is for context but let me
say say I wanted to be a professional
speaker okay so let’s look at me say I
want to be if I want it to be Anthony
Roberts okay I want to be the next
Anthony Robbins that was if that was my
goal and I think you know what to do
Anthony Robbins I need to have money to
make CDs and books and and I need
infomercials and all this is just dollar
signs and hey I don’t have that money I
can’t go out and do that so how am I
gonna do it the answer isn’t for me to
go out and try to do something that I’m
not good at that I hate to try to make
money so you know say got an opportunity
to sell couches okay and hey you can
make $100,000 a year selling couches why
would I go do that you know I don’t love
couches I don’t love selling this stuff
I don’t want to be in that business why
would I take a job or start a business
just trying to make money because if
that’s your goal if your only goal is to
make money it never works right people
come to you with opportunities and hey
you can make
the money doing this it never works that
stuff never works out two options for
you the better path is one go get a job
in the field okay so if I wanted to be
the next Anthony Robbins I should go
work for Anthony Robbins if I don’t have
the money to do what I need to do go get
a job doing the thing learn from the
person who has already done what I want
to do a lot of success hey you know I’m
up my own entrepreneur right now if I’m
going to work for Anthony Robbins
but I’m getting paid right I have money
coming to my bank account and I’m I’m
more importantly learning the ins and
outs of that business I’m learning how
he built this thing up I’m learning how
to do exactly everything that he’s doing
I’m let me how many markets I’m let me
have connects with people I’m learning
how he creates new products everything
I’m learning I’m getting paid to learn
right it’s like I’m going to university
to do exactly what I want to do and I’m
getting paid to do it and if I mimic
state mistakes I’m doing it while
getting paid and also teach you if this
is something you want to do you know I
mean go work for Anthony Robbins and say
hey you know what I don’t want to be the
next Anthony Robbins anymore I’m glad I
figured that out while still getting
paid instead of jumping in and losing my
savings trying to launch it okay so go
get a job working for somebody who can
teach you about the business not just do
something get a job or launch your own
business just trying to make some money
to support something else and you need
to be learning how to be better so that
you can go launch your own career launch
your own company when you go out right
I’ll go work for Tony Robbins when I’m
not gonna be there forever it might be
six months maybe a year maybe two years
but when I come out of that I have the
connections I know who to talk to
I know how to create products and
bringing people lon I know how to do
everything to build up my business and
when I launch a much more likely to be
successful okay
that’s the first option the second
option that start smaller every big
dream that you have can be broken down
into smaller steps you might say hey big
dream up here okay gonna cost me X
amount of dollars and it’s way more than
I have but you can knock that down see
all the little steps and say hey what
can I do to get started the boot
strattice sake because i guarantee you
there’s a there’s a way the bootstrap
this business if you look at every
successful famous entrepreneur you look
at how they started it wasn’t with
millions of dollars in their pockets
they started from nothing
they started with with twenty bucks a
lot of them and they bootstrap their way
up there’s a way to get this thing
started without having to spend a lot of
any money you just have to find it and
it starts with usually on the service
side so if i wanted to be the next
Anthony Robbins and I see all these
dollar signs ahead of me I could start
right now
I don’t need expensive gear I don’t need
to make go out CDs and put on live
seminars and rent out huge halls and
create infomercials I don’t have to do
any of that stuff I could start right
now with my laptop making these YouTube
videos that’s a start
that’s how I started I didn’t start
making videos renting expensive gear and
you know buying all this stuff because I
didn’t want to spend money tiles making
money right now this video is off my
laptop I’m feeling a little sick today
and you want to get in front of the big
camera all that setup so I’m just
talking about a laptop right there’s
ways to start your business without
having to spend a lot of money
you see define it and start building
momentum the beautiful thing is those
two things can work together you can get
a job working for the dream company that
you want to build right the person who
you look up to the most you go work for
them and at the same time start your own
thing on the side start small start a
service get to know your customers get
better right you need to develop your
skills to be good at what you’re doing
that’s the way to do it and that might
take you six months or a year or two
years of learning and trying but you’re
making mistakes while getting paid
you’re learning how to be a way better
entrepreneur an operator and then when
you finally do launch you’ll have a much
higher chance of success and much
greater chance of you hitting that dream
that you have that’s how you get started
so don’t go off get some job or start
some business just trying to make money
because those things never work out
you’re gonna be back here a year later
probably having less
what you started with and not being
happy and I don’t want that to be you so
go out and chase your dreams believe
those you watching I love to hear how
you’ve gone out and either taking a job
to learn from a mentor or started small
