Welcome to the Level Up Podcast. I'm your host, Paul Alex. I went from being a cop to an eight-figure entrepreneur that helps average people like you and me make money every single day. I created this podcast to help you get motivated and to crush your goals. Let's win together.

Remember, I have your six. Get ready to level up right now. Welcome back to the Level Up Podcast with Paul Alex, where we focus on leveling up with your mindset, business, and life. Today, I want to break down one of the most common questions I always get, guys. How do you make your first million? Well, let me tell you something. Your first million isn't just a dream. It's a target, and it's achievable. The truth is, making your first million is about two things, mindset and strategy.

Most people think that it's about working harder, longer hours. But trust me, I've been there, guys. When I was working 80 to 100 hour work weeks as a detective, I realized that hard work alone wasn't enough. You have to go and work smarter, not harder. The secret isn't just grinding away. It's about scaling. The real game changer was

switching to something scalable, building businesses that generate residual income. Ah, now you're listening. Here's the formula. First, find a problem that a lot of people are willing to pay to solve. In my case, it was either credit card processing or ATMs, automated teller machines. These were the industries where businesses needed better, more effective payment solutions. And I could provide that. Identify a problem, create a solution, and you're already halfway to success. Next, you have to get comfortable with selling. This is something that I learned from my six years of corporate sales experience. Sales isn't just about numbers. It's about relationships, building trust, and the money will follow. But here's where your mindset comes in.

If you don't believe you can hit that million dollar mark, you'll never get there. You have to believe it before you achieve it. Your mindset is your greatest asset. When I made the leap from law enforcement to entrepreneurship, I had to rewire my thinking. I focused on learning from my mentors and pushing

myself out of my comfort zone. That's where everything changes. Push your boundaries. Greatness begins outside your comfort zone. And lastly, remember this, guys. Wealth is built over time, not overnight. The key to create multiple streams of income, stay disciplined, and keep reinvesting into yourself and your business. Patience, persistence, and passion. That's how you win the long game. If I can do it coming from a humble background, so can you. The path is there. You just have to walk it. That's it for today, guys. So start thinking big, solve problems and take action. Your first million is closer than what you think. You've got this. So let's level

up together. Thanks for tuning into the Level Up Podcast. I'm Paul Alex. Let's keep leveling up and one step at a time. Remember, I always have your six.
