He's built multi-million dollar companies.
His explosive books on health and wealth have sold over 60 million copies.
Now, the Kevin Trudeau show, they don't want you to know.
Kevin Trudeau here, Limitless, the Kevin Trudeau show,
everything they don't want you to know about to improve the quality of your life and standard of living.
Today we're going to be talking about making money, the three things.
The three, there's only three, the three things that all billionaires know and do.
Now, most of you are probably going to think, you know, that's nice, but I'm never going to be a billionaire, so how is that important to me?
So let me rephrase it. The three things that all people who make over a million dollars a year know and do. Let me take it even a step further. The three things that virtually everyone who makes over $500,000,
thousand dollars a year. No and do. There's three things. They're very consistent. There are common
denominators of success and making money. Success leaves clues. There is a pattern for success that
people follow. There is a formula for a success that people follow. There is a recipe for success
and making money that people follow. There's actually a success algorithm. And actually this is
one of the books I'm working on right now. It's a mathematical equation. There's an algorithm
for success and achieving wealth. When you look at people that are wealthy, if you look at people
that are billionaires, if you look at people that are wealthy, if you look at people that make a
million dollars a year or half a million dollars a year, and you start evaluating and really doing
some in-depth research, there are common denominators. Now, interestingly enough, there's not very many
common denominators, which means there's a bunch of things or traits or activities or mindsets
that wealthy people have. But not every wealthy person is actively using everything in that bucket.
So if you take, let's say you take a thousand people who are making over half a million dollars a
year and you were to really, really investigate each single person and say, what did they do?
and you take this person, you look at all these traits, and you put it down, then you take the next person, the next person, the next person.
Then you say, which ones are common, which, in other words, which things are used by the majority, over 50%.
And now you have a bucket. So you have a bucket of the common denominators that all successful people know and do, all the traits, all the activities, all the mindsets.
but there's very few that use all of them.
Does that make sense?
And so there's differences,
but there are specific patterns
that you can follow and duplicate.
You duplicate success.
You follow the pattern for success.
You follow the recipe.
But if you break all those down,
there are really only three things.
There's only three that virtually every single person
in that category, do and know, there's really only three.
So if you take 1,000 people, 10,000 people, 100,000 people that are making over half a
million dollars a year, all of them, virtually all of them, know and do these three things.
And that's what you're going to learn today.
If you start doing them, and I guarantee you don't, and that's the goofy thing, I guarantee
that you don't, many of you want to make money, but you don't do these three things. If you just
start with these three things, just start with these three things and focus on these three things.
Everything else will kind of fall into place, but unless you're doing these three things,
it's almost impossible for you to make money, increase your wealth, increase your income,
or achieve financial independence and financial security and financial freedom.
I mean, financial freedom, financial independence is awesome.
Most of you work for money instead of having money work for you.
Most people have to do activity to earn money just so you can live, just so you can pay your mortgage or rent or your car payment or your insurance payments and pay your bills, pay down your debt.
And just to live, you don't have a lot of investments.
need to work for income, which is sad. It's not sad if you really love what you're doing,
that's fine. But it would be better if you did activity based on your desire and mission and purpose
and for the love of doing it instead of having to do it to earn money to pay the bills.
Financial freedom and independence means you do not have to work. You do not have to
earn any money because every week, every month, every quarter, you're getting a check. You're
You're getting money deposited automatically in your account without you doing anything.
That's freedom and financial independence.
That money comes in the form of either interest, which means your money is earning interest and it just your money is working for you instead of you working for money.
Your money is making money while you're sleeping without doing anything.
Interest also dividends. That's another way the wealthy achieve financial freedom and independence.
royalties is another way that you have financial freedom and independence or some type of residual
income coming in from a business where the business just operates without you being there at all
and it just pays you. It is effectively a dividend. So there's really three major ones,
dividends, interest, or royalties. That's your financial freedom. And I'll tell you,
it's awesome. I learned that very early on. I learned that 1916.
69 is when I learned that concept from my wealthy mentors that told me the very simple principle.
And my dad was a welder, union guy, and he went to work to earn money.
And then he took some of that money and he put it into some investments so that he could
retire. He'd have enough money put away, and he could retire off the interest and or dividends
of that investment or slowly take a little bit of the principal so he didn't have to work anymore.
added that with his pension and Social Security, and he was the happiest guy in the world.
He had achieved that, even though he was a union worker.
So I learned the basic principles, the how-to, but I also learned the three basic keys that I had to employ.
And I was told these are the three secrets.
1969.
My mentor, at that time, worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
In today's money, he would be a billionaire.
And he told me these are the three secrets.
The three secrets.
And actually, we didn't call them the three secrets.
That was one thing we used.
But in our world, we called them the three angels.
These are the three angels, Kevin.
These angels will do your bidding.
they will make you wealthy.
They're better than a genie.
They're the three angels.
They're your angels.
They love you.
They'll take care of you.
Just make sure you're always activating these three angels.
These are the three secrets.
Interestingly enough, if you look throughout history,
the one guy who interviewed and studied wealthy people,
probably more so than anybody else, was Napoleon Hill.
Napoleon Hill authored the very famous book,
think and grow rich, and before that, the law of success in 15 lessons. It was actually 15 articles.
People don't know that. He actually wrote 15 articles. It was in some newspapers. Then it was put
into some books. There was a 16th lesson, which was so upsetting to Henry Ford that he didn't
put it in until later. So then it became the law of success in 16 lessons, and he rewrote it all,
actually. So there's the original law of success in 15 lessons. Then, a
few years later, there's the Law of Success in 16 lessons, which are in individual booklets,
but it's a rewritten work, and you get both of them, and you read it side by side, it's like
these are very different things. And both of them are outstanding, but they contain
different information, different material. Then there's think and grow rich. But what Napoleon
Hill did is he studied the wealthiest people on the planet, and he said, what are the common
denominators? So that was one thing that was done. And in today's world, you know, Elon Musk has been
interviewed, Stephen Jobs was interviewed, Henry, I mean, Steve Bomber, who's the co-founder of Microsoft,
Bill Gates was interviewed, Warren Buffett was interviewed in his partner, Charlie Munger,
different billionaires from around the world in Mexico and India, in Japan, different successful
people have been interviewed and to try to gleam some of the success. But nobody has done the
in-depth research as Napoleon Hill. And it was from a different era. So if you look at the
interviews of the wealthy people today, even though they're not as in-depth, we can still glean
some of the common denominators. And again, these common denominators are universal. It doesn't
really matter what country you're in. And they're very consistent. So there are patterns for success.
So if you're watching and you want or listening and you want to make money, you want to increase your
income, I'm going to give you the three angels, the three secrets. And just do them and it can
dramatically impact your life. And if you don't, it's going to be very difficult for you to
succeed and make more money. That's factual. That's factual. I mean, you may disagree with me,
and that's okay, because you have the right to be wrong. I mean, look, I'm not saying something
that's my opinion. I'm pointing out some factual data. Right now, it's snowing out there,
and it's very cold. So if I were to say it's cold and it's snowing,
And you would say, no, it's sunny and it's warm.
Look, you know, you're delusional.
It's freaking cold.
And it's not sunny.
It's overcast.
It's snowing.
Now, you may be like Vim Hof and want to go out there in shorts
and jump in a frozen lake because you say, I find it very warm.
but you understand what I'm saying?
It's still cold.
You may enjoy that cold, but you can't deny that it's cold.
You can't deny that it's snowing.
So when it comes to making money, you can't deny what I'm saying
because it's not my opinion.
I'm not giving you my opinion.
I'm not going to say, I think, I call it.
No, I didn't call it anything, and I don't think anything.
I'm just sharing with you what was shared with me,
what I observed from others and what has been proven to work.
And whether you want to take advantage of it or not, it's your own business.
So we're talking about the three secrets that all wealthy people know and do.
So here's what I want to do first.
I'm going to tell you them, by the way, make sure you know them.
So by the end of the show, you're going to know them all.
But go into the chat right now and tell me if you can think about what one or two or three
Three of them may be.
So quickly go in there, and Trey's going to rattle off a couple of them.
So what do you think are the three secrets that all billionaires know and do?
Or the three techniques that they employ, or the three traits that they all have?
You get the idea here?
So come up with, what do you think they are?
Come up with one or two or three and throw them in the chat right now.
So you can put that in the chat.
You can also put it in the comment section.
By the way, make sure you like and share this video.
Are we getting a couple in there, Trey?
Nothing yet.
I'll let them roll in.
Okay.
So if you're watching right now, a lot of you are probably just blind.
Like, I don't know.
Yeah, no kidding.
So if most of you are thinking, I don't know, if you're thinking, I don't know,
or if you even have to think about it, you don't know.
know because knowingness is instantaneous. You're out of the think stage. So these three angels,
these three secrets, these three traits, these three techniques, these three things that all wealthy
people know and do are something that you should be a part of you. So if I were to ask you,
what's your name? You don't say, hold on, let me think about it. Oh, damn, I didn't think he was going to ask me
tough question.
My name, my name, my name, what is it?
Should I give my first name?
What is my first name?
What is my first name?
What's my first name?
Kevin, that's what it is, Kevin.
You don't do that.
You know you for it.
What's your address?
You don't say, hold on, let me check my phone.
What's your phone number?
Hold on.
I got to look it up.
Let me think about it.
You know your phone number, you know your address, you know your name.
But when I say, what is the three most important traits,
or the three traits, not just most important, the three traits that every wealthy person
knows and employees, what are they? You have to think, think, think, what could they be? What could they be?
What could they be? All right, you got a couple of them, try?
Yeah, we're seeing they have a lot of focus and they're teachable. Okay, focus and teachable.
Okay.
We also have that they put together vision boards.
Okay, they put together vision boards, and by the way, that's not true. Wealthy people,
most of them don't even know what a vision board is.
Readers are leaders?
Readers, okay.
Some of them are, some of them are not.
We're seeing a lot of love what you do.
Love what you do, love what you do, okay?
Some of the wealthy people hate every moment of what they're doing.
They're doing it just because they love money.
They hate what they're doing.
Absolutely hate it.
Disgusting.
But they do it because they love money and power.
We're seeing associate with other rich people.
associate with other rich people. Some of them do and some of them are absolutely recluses. Remember how
it used? It didn't associate with anybody. A couple people saying take massive action. They take massive
action, okay. Giving. Giving. Some do and some don't. Most do, but not. See, here's the point.
All right. So, Trey, hold on to those. So here's the point. Everything that Trey mentioned,
you could find a wealthy person who says, yes, that's very important to them. Giving.
taking massive action.
Maybe there's some wealthy people that have vision boards.
Heck, like I said, I go hang out with 30, 40 guys six weeks a year
that collectively are worth a trillion dollars,
and none of them know what a vision board is.
None of them know what a dream board is.
They look at me when I talk about that.
Do you do you use a dream board?
They like, how are you talking about?
And they started from zero and they made a colossal amount of money.
So why do I recommend and why do other success gurus
recommend a vision board or dream board
or some of these things that Trey mentioned, even though they're not one of the three.
Because in order for you to get from your level up, you have to do some things to start shifting
what's virtually in your DNA, and you have poverty DNA.
Wealthy people don't have that.
You've heard me talk about that when I described the money processes.
You've got to get rid of the counterintention that's in your DNA because your parents put
counterintensions where these people didn't have it or have little.
So they didn't have to do some of these things.
So let me tell you the one thing, and I'll give you the three.
This three, the first one, that every single 100% successful people have.
And it wasn't, it wasn't, nobody put it down.
Nobody put it down.
Well, I'll give you a hint.
Maybe you can come up with it, Trey.
I'll give you a hint.
It's one of, it's virtually in the title of a book that I recommend.
On this show, I recommended books.
I'll do another show what I recommend.
I recommend some books that these are critical books.
that you should read if you want to become successful and make more money.
And it's in one of the time.
Chay's probably looking up the titles right now.
He's, I can already see him over there.
It's in the title.
Wealthy people, billionaires, billionaires,
people that make over a million dollars a year.
That's far from a billionaire.
Everybody who makes over half a billion a year,
that's way far from a billionaire.
But there's one thing that every single person,
every single person, every single person absolutely knows that they have to think big.
They are big thinkers.
They don't think small.
Every billionaire is a bigger thinker than every millionaire.
They simply think bigger.
and they started thinking big when they were just starting off, when they were broke.
They were always big thinkers.
Don't imagine that they started thinking big when they started making money.
They could even think bigger.
But when they were first starting off in business, when they were in high school, when they were in grade school, when they were
in college, they had big dreams.
They had big dreams.
I had a guy tell me one time, he says, Kevin, the only difference between you and I is the size
of our dream and time.
How big can you dream?
There's magic in thinking big.
That's why there's the name of the book, the magic of thinking big.
There's power in thinking big.
All successful people dream.
dream big. They have to expand what is possible. And you expand the possibilities by dreaming big and
thinking big. How big can you dream? How big can you dream? I used to sit around with people
used to play a game and said, you just hit a billion dollar lottery. As a matter of fact,
it was so much money after taxes, you just got a billion dollars.
cash deposited into your bank account, and all your taxes had been paid.
What would you do?
What would you do?
And here's the thing.
The Elon Musks, the Warren Buffett's, the wealthy people, Stephen Jobs, the billionaires, the super wealthy.
If you were to ask them that question, they instantaneously,
start giving you answered.
Oh, I would do this and this and this and this and this and this and this and this and this and this and this and this.
As a matter of fact, they'd say, I need more than a billion.
For all the things that I see as possibilities that I want to do,
I need more than a billion dollars in cash after taxes.
And then you talk to the guy who's making $100 grand a year or $150,000 a year or $80,000 a year.
And they have no clue what they would do.
They have to think.
It takes them a while.
Would you pay off your mortgage?
Yeah, I guess, though.
Yeah.
To get a different car?
Never really thought about it.
They're not dreaming.
They're not thinking big.
It's not even in their realm.
So what happens is their mind is contracted.
If you want things to start being attracted into your life,
if you want money being attracted into your life, if you want opportunity to be attracted into your life,
if you want people that are going to help you make your dreams come true, being attracted into life,
you have to get big dreams.
You have to dream big.
You have to think big.
Dream big.
Guy said, you have to have a dream so big it would take three lifetimes to accomplish it.
You got to dream big.
This is why one of the techniques to help you dream,
big and since you don't is a vision board or a dream board where it's an actual board that you put up on the wall
and you cut out from magazines or you print stuff off the internet of things that you want the car the boat the jewelry or even better
you sit in the car of your dreams and have somebody take a picture of you there and then put that up on your dream board
you stand in front of the mansion of your dreams and have somebody take a picture and you put that up on your dream board
You use AI and you put yourself in the picture on the beach in Hawaii or in Bali or wherever you want to go in the world or on your private yacht or put yourself using AI sitting in a private jet.
Whatever your dream is. How big can you dream?
Successful people always dream big.
They think big.
This is why we go dream building and the Global Information Network and my private club, my private success club.
When people join, we take them dream building.
Our summer conference, for example, this year is in Beverly Hills at the Wilshire Beverly Hotel.
It's the Pretty Woman Hotel.
Talk about dreaming.
And it's right at Wilshire Boulevard and Rodeo Drive.
So you see all the Ferraris and Lamborghinis and Rolls-Royces and Bentley's and the AMG Mercedes.
I mean, they're all lined up everywhere.
The Maseratis.
You walk down and you see the Gucci store or the,
The Patik-Philippe watch store, the Rolex watch store.
The Stefano Ricci Men's Clothing Store suits, you know, $15,000.
Bejanan is there.
Ferragamo is there.
Chanel is there.
The gorgeous clothing.
All the different brands.
Louis Vuitton, on and on and on, one after the other after the other.
And you see celebrities walking around dress fantastic.
And you start dreaming and you look and you're thinking there's a purse for $35,000 for the purse.
And you're thinking, I can't afford that now.
Maybe one day.
You start dreaming.
You see people 20, 30 years old, 35 years old, driving around a Rolls-Royce that they paid for in cash.
You go and look at the homes, $15 million homes, $20 million homes, $25 million homes.
Forget the five or six million dollars homes.
They're just average.
You see these big houses and you think, who lives there?
Oh, a woman, she's 28 years old, started her own business, came from Nebraska.
And she just bought that $20 million house paid cash for it.
And you're thinking, if she can do it, why can't I do it?
If her, why not me?
And why not right now?
How big can you dream? You've got to dream big. So successful people always think big.
They're doing a real estate deal in New York, and there's two real estate guys, and this is a true story.
They're in New York. They're starting off. They're buddies. They went to school together.
They decided to get into the real estate development business together. Their families are about exactly the same in terms of income and net worth.
They have the same amount of money to get started. And one guy says,
I'm going to do a deal on this house.
This is back in the 70s.
And he says, there's a hotel.
There's a $1 million property that I'm going to jump into.
And I'm going to turn that property.
I'm going to flip that property.
I'm going to make a million and a half on that million dollar property.
I'm going to make $500,000 net.
I'm going to turn that $1 million property into a million and a half-dollar property.
This is back in the 70s.
It's a lot of money.
And I'm going to make a half a million dollar.
He had a big dream.
And his buddy went by and said, there's a $100 million hotel, and I'm going to turn this into a $300 million hotel.
Well, I'm going to put $200 million in my pocket.
And it took both guys about the same amount of time to do their deals, and they both succeeded.
One guy made a half a million dollars.
The other guy made $200 million.
What was the difference?
They worked the same amount of hours.
They have the same skill set.
They had the same amount of money to get started.
They had the same connections.
The difference was the size of their dream.
And that one guy who made that big deal, by the way,
is currently president of the United States, Donald Day Trump.
And he was very famous talking about that deal.
And he said, you know, it would take me the same amount of time and effort
to do a million-dollar deal as opposed to doing a $100 million deal.
So I put my effort into the big thing.
he goes, because I think big.
I mean, here's a guy who just says it right out of his own mouth.
I think big.
I can't think small, he said.
It's not in my DNA.
That's what he said.
And it's true.
For most of you, it's not in your DNA.
Thinking small is in your DNA, which is why you have to clear that out.
Do some money processes.
Join the Global Information Network.
Go through the Success Mastery Course.
Go through the Science of Personal Master's course.
some things. Take charge, take some action to change your ability or just start by doing some dream
building and using your own willpower and saying, you know, starting today, I'm going to start
thinking big. And then read the book, The Magic of Thinking Big. Start there. Start thinking at least
bigger. And some of you think, I can't think that big because I just don't believe I'll be
ever to be able to achieve it.
That's correct.
If you believe you can or if you believe you can't,
either way, you're right.
It's the thinking that makes it so.
So start small.
Just dream bigger than you do right now.
Go as far as you can see.
And when you get there, you'll see further.
Number two.
What's the second thing?
Do we get any more in there, Trey?
Do we get any more?
Yeah, let me grab them again.
Okay.
So, Trey's on a look and see what else you came up with, because there's two more that every single billionaire employs.
They know and they do it.
And every wealthy person knows and does it.
And many times subconsciously, a lot of times it's not even conscious.
Any more?
Treg.
Yeah, we got people saying that you need to be hungry.
Got to be hungry?
Create a large network.
Create a large network.
It's not wrong with being hungry.
hungry or having drive or desire and having a good network.
Some people do that and some people don't who are wealthy.
Going to events and workshops.
Going to events and workshops.
I know very many, a lot of wealthy people who don't go to any events or any workshops,
they absolutely hate it.
I'm not going to go.
They work out of their own little Hubble.
They don't, they hate people.
I know some of them that do.
That they're always learning.
They're always learning.
I know some guys who are so smart.
They always know they're the smartest guy in the room.
And they refuse to learn from anybody because there's nobody as smart as them.
Here's the point is it's not everyone.
Yes, many wealthy people love learning.
Many wealthy people go to various events and give and receive recognition.
Many very wealthy people do a lot of these things, but not all at all.
Any more?
That's kind of the consistent.
Okay, it's very consistent. Okay, this is great. Let me tell you something. I'm glad you're watching
because you don't know this stuff, clearly. Right, right? Nobody knows what I'm about to say.
All right. Number two, all wealthy people have a very active energy within them, which unsuccessful
people don't, and that is initiative. It's initiative. An initiative is inner drive. It is a
the inner motivation or inspiration that compels you to take action when nobody told you to do anything.
Someone who has initiative is a self-starter.
Wealthy people, billionaires are self-starters, more so than you could ever imagine.
They take initiative.
They take initiative.
This energy overlaps into they take charge.
They lead.
But taking initiative is doing something out of your own volition.
You're not told to do it.
You just do it anyway.
You do it because you know it needs to be done.
It's your own initiation of an action.
Taking initiative is one of the most powerful energies.
And I'll give you the opposite of this.
Most people don't do anything unless they're told or asked to do it.
And then they resent it.
I hate being told what to do.
Okay, well then if you would do it, I wouldn't have to tell you or ask you.
Could you put the trash out?
There's trash overflowing the trash can.
We can't squeeze it down anymore.
I know you've jumped in the trash can and tried to crush it down like a trash compactor,
but there's still trash everywhere.
And you walk by it and you see bits of trash on the floor.
And instead of taking initiative and just saying the trash is full,
and instead of just taking the bag up, tying it together, putting it in the trash,
trash can outside, putting a new trash liner in there, and getting it done with, that's showing
initiative.
You don't.
You will just bypass it.
You'll bury your head in the sand.
It's an inability to confront.
And then somebody has to say, hey, would you mind putting the trash out?
And then you get, oh, I hate being told what to do.
That's loser mentality.
Look, there's a millionaire mindset, there's a millionaire mentality, and at the end of the day, there's a loser mentality.
Winners, winners, of all types, champions take initiative.
They don't have to be told what to do.
You look at winners in sports.
They're the ones who are at the stadium first.
They're told you have to be there at 11 o'clock.
They're there at 10 o'clock.
They weren't told they have to be there at 10 o'clock.
They don't have to be there at 10 o'clock, but they took their own initiative.
That's what winners do.
People who are worth a lot of money take the initiative.
They do things before they're asked or told.
They take action from a self-starter situation.
They have inner motivation.
self-motivation. They are self-starters. They do it without being told. They think of things that they need to do.
Do you understand that? Showing initiative is assessing a situation and deciding what needs to be done here, even though it may not be obvious, that's taking initiative.
In my office, in this office here, we have doors. And as I walk through the doors, I immediately say,
I want to give some papers to the person who's in that office, but the door is shut. And we have a
closed door policy, which means if the door is shut, nobody can interrupt that person. They shut
the door on purpose. They want privacy. They want to be able to focus and concentrate because
they're working on something, they do not want any interruptions. And there's nothing that's that
urgent that can't wait a few hours or even a day. So I walk by, I got some papers that I want to
hand to an individual. The door is shut. And I'm thinking, I'm not going to bother her. She's working.
She shut the door because she wants to focus and concentrate. And that's critical. But I got these
papers. And I don't want to shove it under the door because then that's going to disturb her.
She's working and she hears some papers.
It's going to distract her.
I don't want to distract her.
I want to focus on whatever she's doing.
That's why she shut the door.
So I think, you know, it would be good if there was a little something on the door that I could put the papers in.
So when she opens the door, it's like a little basket or something, she would see it.
That would be efficient.
So I write it down.
and I say to myself, I'm not going to tell anybody to do it.
I want to see if there's anybody in this office that can show initiative.
Because clearly I'm not the only guy who thinks that may be a good idea.
Weeks and weeks go by.
And I'm getting a little disturbed because no one's coming, no one's showing the initiative
to suggest to me or the office manager, hey, I have an idea.
I think we can improve the efficiency.
What if we get some beautiful things here?
Matter of fact, I went online, I found a few.
I think this one works really nice.
It's easy to install.
We can put on everybody's door, and this will be really good.
No one has come up.
No one has shown that initiative.
And then, then I come into the office, and on her door, that one person's door, I didn't say anything to anybody.
She's got one of these little bins on her door.
No one else does.
But she took the initiative and said, you know something?
This would be a good thing.
She didn't ask.
She just did it.
That's taking initiative.
See, successful people just assess situations and figure out what needs to be done.
That's showing initiative.
That's being a self-starter.
And then doing it.
Initiative is a critical word.
Look it up in the dictionary.
Look at the original language that the word comes from.
Study the word.
Look at the various derivations, the epitaphysions, the epit.
the terminology of the word, the history of the word, and then use it several times in a sentence
and feel good about that word. That's activating and illuminating the energy and essence of the
word, and you'll start showing more initiative. Listen, just get a card. Get a card like this,
get a piece of paper, and just put initiative and put it all over your house. And just ask yourself,
what am I, what, I'm going to show initiative today. And just make it a habit every day that today
I'm going to do something to exercise initiative and show initiative.
You start doing that and get into the habit of showing initiative.
It makes all the difference in the world.
Just today, the White House, Office of the President, put out a little release.
And it said that they're going to change a policy.
And the policy changes, instead of hiring people based on quotas,
Oh, we need a certain number of short people.
We need a certain number of tall people.
We need a certain number of fat people.
We need a certain number of skinny people.
We need a certain number of women and a certain number of men.
We need a certain number of blondes with blue eyes.
We need a certain number of people with dark skin.
We need people of this religion.
They have all these quotas.
You have no ideas.
My black.
And so when they're hiring people, it has almost nothing to do with the qualifications
or how good the person is, how qualified they are.
It's about quotas.
Now, think about if you did that,
NBA. So here we are at the NBA. You're trying to put together a basketball team of champions so you can
win the championship. And they go, sorry, you have to, you have to, you have to, you have to, you know,
bring people on and have them play based on quota. So you need some red-headed people. You need some
Asian people. You need some Native Americans. You need some fat people. You need some short people.
You can't have the best athlete. You have, you can't have one race. You have to have like, you know,
have the white, you have Asian, Japanese. You need some Chinese. You need some, you know, escrow.
He needs some Indians.
You can't have all these African Americans.
You can't have all that.
I mean, stop picking the best athlete, the best players.
No, no, no.
You have to pick based on these quotas.
So they changed this, and the president said,
we're no longer going to hire people
in the federal government based on quotas.
We're actually going to do something radical.
We're going to hire the best, most qualified person for the job.
And the only way they'll keep the job is if they keep
prove they're the best, and if they slack off or if they don't perform, we'll fire them.
Just like if you hire a coach of a football team, a baseball team, whatever, and the coach is
hired, and he fails.
He doesn't make the playoffs for the first year or the second year, and he has this horrible
losing record, then the owner of the team says, you're fired.
I hired you to win.
You're not winning.
Therefore, you're fired.
Okay?
I'm going to hire somebody else.
How radical is that concept?
So this came out today, and here's what it said.
The number one trait, the number one trait was people who show initiative.
It tells you the importance of initiative.
So that's the number two, most important thing that billionaires and successful people know is they must show initiative.
And they must always be activating that initiative energy.
If you want to become successful, start showing more initiative.
Number three, what's the third one?
Nobody knows.
Nobody, I love it.
Now they're giving up.
They're going, listen, I surrender.
I surrender, Kevin.
I don't know what number one was and number two.
Clearly, I don't know what number three is.
I'm trying.
And by the way, everything that you said are good traits that you should employ.
There's no question.
You should.
And some successful people employ them.
others don't. There's a mismatch, mix match, but there's three that everyone does. So thinking big
was the number first one. Second one was initiative. What's number three? What's number three?
Now, you were just that leadership weekend, Trey, where I went through the 30 leadership energies
that people have. And it wasn't in an order of importance. It was just in an order in which we
actually clear the counterintensions on those energies using the leadership processes.
And people started, you know, like the first one was initiative that we cleared, right?
And people are going, oh, my God, I went home and I just like, you know, cleaned up the house
and I did this and everything I feel so good.
I'm not even thinking about it anymore.
This is like unbelievable.
It's already working.
Anyone that you think would be the third one.
Do you have any guesses?
It kind of goes with initiative, but getting rid of procrastination.
Okay, so Trey said that he had a little advantage.
He was just at our leadership weekend when we went through these.
He said, getting rid of procrastination, that's the opposite.
That's the counterintention, procrastination.
The actual energy that leaders, billionaires, people that make a million dollars a year,
people make half a million dollars a year, all employ is a philosophy, and it's an automatic,
it's something that's in their DNA, it's something they don't even think about,
and that is the do it now mentality,
which is the exact opposite of putting it off or procrastination.
So it's real simple.
Do you procrastinate?
Do you put things off?
And the answer, all of you are going to say, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And I mean, not everything, Kevin, but certainly I do procrastinate.
Perfect.
I remember Reverend Pat Robinson, who was the founder of Christian Broadcasting Network, and I knew Pat, and I was down there at CBN, and I talked to them, and he built an amazing organization.
This was a guy, you want to talk about a success story.
For those of you who are Christians, this is an amazing success story, but those of you who are not Christians, it's still an amazing success story.
He started with nothing.
He went down to Myrtle Beach and Virginia Beach down there, and he built this network, a TV network.
out of nothing, starting with nothing, Christian Broadcasting Network.
And then he ran for president.
I mean, it was an amazing story.
He was asking one of the interviews when he was running for president, and he said, what is
one of your best traits?
And he said, I'm impatient.
I have to get everything done right now.
And he knew that was one of his best traits, impatience, which means.
means I need to get it done now. The do it now attitude. Winners are not procrastinators.
Winners don't put things off. Billionaires don't put things off. There's a difference between
initiative and do it now. Doing it now is if you get an order, if you get a directive,
if you're getting a request, do you get it done now? Let's just do it now? If you think of something
to do, that's initiative. But if you do it right now, that's a do it now attitude. When you combine
both of them, it's like taking two chemicals that are very powerful chemicals. But when you mix them
together, it explodes. You have awesome power. And you combine that with thinking big. You can see how
this is a one, two, three punch that is unstoppable. It will make you unbeatable. It will make you
unstoppable. You have big dreams, big thoughts, you show massive initiative and you have a do it now
attitude with no procrastination. You're completely impatient. You need to get it done now because you take
massive and immediate action, massive and immediate action. Bill Gates said this. He was on the Larry King
show. Larry King was on CNN. He used to interview these people live. I knew Larry. When Bill Gates was
on, he was the richest man in the world. Co-founder of Microsoft.
And Larry said, Bill, are there any secrets to success?
And Bill Gates said, yeah, you have to be at the right place at the right time,
and you have to see the vision and the potential on things, and you have to think big.
He actually said that was number two.
And number three, he says, but the biggest to me, the most important, he says there were a lot of people at the same place I was.
A lot of people saw the same potential.
They thought as big as I was.
The difference, Larry, was I took massive and amazing.
immediate action.
I did it right then and there.
He goes, I'm impatient.
I have to get things done and I have to get them done yesterday.
Bam.
You are seeing and hearing directly from these people who don't even know really, but thinking
big, showing initiative and taking massive and immediate action, having a do-it-now attitude.
You are programmed to procrastinate and put things off because
when you put things off, you don't have to confront.
That's an energy that is active in most people,
and it creates massive fear,
and it makes you very uncomfortable to confront things.
You can't confront a person.
You can't confront the situation.
When there's a disaster going on,
winners confront.
They assess the situation calmly, logically,
and they want to know exactly what's going on.
What is the situation?
And all the little people around, this happened to me a bunch of times.
I brought some staff in.
And I know there's a problem because nobody wants to look at me in the eye.
And everyone's afraid to tell me.
They're afraid to confront.
So I go, what's the situation?
Well, you know, we got a little situation here that, you know, it's really not that big of a deal, Kevin.
And that's what they're doing.
And I'm going.
You know, we have to work on your confront.
We're going to have to do some processing on you
and clear the stuff out of your field and in your DNA
because you don't have the ability to confront.
What is the situation?
Is there a nuclear bomb in the building?
Did our warehouse burn to the ground?
Did everybody get shot in like a St. Valentine's Day massacre?
Like when Al Capone did that to the Moran gang.
Are all of our bank accounts frozen?
Did we get lawsuits from the federal government?
Is the FBI on the way to arrest us all?
what's the problem? And they're all looking at me going, Kevin just used the word problem. I go,
what's the problem? We can handle anything, even if it was one of those things that I just mentioned.
And that released the pressure because clearly the situation was nothing as colossally bad as what I just mentioned.
And they said, oh, well, we had, you know, two of our salespin quit and they're starting a competitive company.
I go, that's not a problem. Let's celebrate.
we should bring them in and have a party.
Let's be proud, not sorry when people leave and go into business of their own.
I mean, I'm excited about them.
I want them to be successful.
Not to be sad about.
Yeah, but our sales, they're taking a lot of our clients with us.
That's okay.
Was it our clients or was it their clients?
We could argue that.
I says, but look, there's plenty of room for everybody to succeed.
Let's say, you know, let's celebrate their success.
Let's hope they succeed.
Let's let them know that we're here to support them.
and everybody was just blown away.
Those guys succeeded, and we continued to succeed too.
Everybody was happy, and we remained good friends, by the way.
The point is, that's confront energy.
When you can't confront, you always have to put it off manana.
Manana, tomorrow, tomorrow.
Manana, manana, tomorrow, tomorrow.
Successful people have a do it now attitude.
Art Williams, who was the owner of AL Williams insurance company, a multi-level marketing insurance company, which is now called Primerica,
Art Williams wrote a book, and it was called Do It Now.
And the whole book is about why, scientifically, it is so powerful to get into the habit of do it now.
When you think of something, just do it now.
Don't put it off.
Do it now.
Take some action.
Ron Ball, who many of you know, good friend of mine, and he's been speaking a lot of
gin events.
I've known Ron for 25, 30 years.
Ron and I did a seminar about 15 years ago, and one of the things that Ron did in that
seminar, and he just reiterated it at our family reunion event back in November, is the scientific
neuroscience, how the brain reacts when you.
think of doing something and then take action on it within 24 hours. The brain and how it reacts
to that is completely different that if you think about doing something and then put it off
for 48 or 72 hours. The chemicals that are released, the neuro pathways that are established,
the parts of the brain that light up and get activated, the hormones,
everything changes. It's like night and day. If you want to be successful, you must get in the
do it now mentality. But you have a procrastination mentality. I put it off till tomorrow mentality.
I'm afraid to confront it mentality. I'm afraid to get start. You have this inability. You have all
these stops in your field. It's in your DNA that comes from your ancestors. And then it's also in your
own memory banks, you have a habit of, I'll put it off till tomorrow. You have the procrastination
habit, and it's a failure habit. It's similar to excuseitis. In the book, The Magic of Thinking Big,
the first chapter is, believe you can succeed and you will. And the second chapter is cure yourself
of excuseitis, the failure disease.
Procrastination is simply making excuses why you can't start today.
Successful people are always too busy doing what the other guys are still talking about.
Losers, by the way, are always good at one thing, making excuses.
Think about it.
Excusitis, the failure disease.
That means procrastination, putting things off, is the failure disease.
If you look at all the billionaires, all the people that are worth $500 million or more,
all the people that are worth $100 million or more, all the people that make a million dollars
and more a year, they all employ these three things.
of them procrastinate. None of them make excuses. They have a habit of doing it now. Do it now. Do it now.
You take advantage of this material. You use your willpower to employ these three steps.
Think big, show initiative, and do it now. And watch your life skyrocket. And start watching all of your dreams.
coming true.
I'm Kevin Trudeau.
This is the Kevin Trudeau show.
Limitless, because you are limitless.
Make sure that you like us.
You comment, leave comments,
share this video, and subscribe.
Now, I do have a little bit of news today.
John Denny, as you know,
is our new executive director, producer,
guru, head, top banana,
CEO, managing director of the show.
he has a long job title which he produced for himself.
And I, yeah, he's worth, he's worth that very lengthy job title.
He is the king.
Yeah, he's the king.
He's the king.
So John and was in Dural down in Florida with us and he had a king, king meeting.
He called court and I was invited to go to court, which I didn't really want to go to court,
but I went to his court.
You get the idea.
Anyway, so John said, Kevin, we're going to make the show better than ever.
before. We're going to get a million subscribers. We're going to get tens of millions of views every week,
and we have to have a real strong strategy in play. So John is working on some things. So starting
next week, the first thing he decided was, until further notice, we will be doing one show a week
instead of two, just one. Of course, my philosophy, well, let's do six or seven a week or ten a week
or twenty a week, and John said, no. We're going to promote each one. There's a strategy here. We can
improve or increase later. But we're going to one show a week.
week, starting next week, and that show is going to be on Wednesdays?
Yes, Wednesdays at 9 a.m.
Right.
So it's going to be at Wednesdays, but we're putting it up earlier.
Instead of going live or putting the show up at 1 o'clock Central, we will be Wednesday,
and the show will go up on YouTube and the other platforms at 9 a.m., right?
9 a.m. Chicago.
9 a.m. Chicago time.
So starting next week, there'll be no show on Monday.
it'll be Wednesday only going forward for a while.
So until these numbers get up, it'll be Wednesday only, every Wednesday, 9 a.m. Chicago time.
So that's going to be exciting because John is working behind the scenes to put together a whole bunch of material to make these shows even more enhanced and give you more value for the amount of time you spend watching the show.
the content and the material and the value
you're going to get for free
just by watching the show.
I give away all the stuff for free.
That's the other thing that John kept on saying.
You need to give everybody this material for free on the show.
So I said, okay, well, who's paying your salary again?
Because we need to bring in some money somehow.
Anyways, we'll figure that out.
John said, we'll figure that out later.
We'll figure that out later.
So I hope you're enjoying the show.
So comment.
Comment, comment, comment, like the show, share it with everybody, and subscribe.
I'm Kevin Trudeau.
Thanks for watching.
I will see you next Wednesday, 9 o'clock Chicago time going forward.
Every Wednesday, 9 o'clock Chicago time.
