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 to the Level Up Podcast with Paul Alex, where we help you level up in your mindset, business, and life. Today, I'm going to give it to you guys straight, the brutal truth about becoming wealthy. If you think becoming wealthy is easy, I'm here to tell you it is not. It is actually extremely hard, but it is possible if you're willing to do what most people won't. The reality is that most people won't become wealthy because they're not willing to sacrifice

for it. They want the end result, but they're not willing to put in the comfortable work that is required to get to wealth. So here's the first brutal truth. Becoming wealthy means doing things that you don't want to do. When you don't feel like doing them, whether it's waking up early, grinding through long hours, or investing into something that may not pay off immediately, delayed gratification, you have to push through when others would quit. That's what separates the

wealthy from everyone else. Most people quit when things get tough. Wealthy people thrive through tough situations because they see them as opportunities. You want to know another truth? Most people are too focused on instant gratification. That's just the reality of it, guys. They want the new car. They want the fancy house. They want the expensive vacation now.

But becoming wealthy requires the opposite mindset. The wealthy play is the long game. The delayed gratification to invest into assets that will pay them off for years to come. While others are spending money on things that don't grow their wealth, successful people actually are putting their money into businesses, real estate, or other investments that compound over time. Here's the kicker.

You're gonna love this. The journey to wealth is lonely. Most of the people around you don't and won't understand why you're working so hard, why you're cutting back on expenses, why you're investing and others are spending. They won't see the vision you have for your future, but that's okay. You're not doing it for them. You're doing it for yourself and your why, your future. And finally, the last brutal truth. No one is going to hand you wealth. Absolutely no one.

You have to go out and earn it every single day. There's no secret shortcut, no magic formula. It's about putting in the work, staying disciplined, and having the patience to let your investments grow, guys. Wealth doesn't come to those who wait. It comes to those who hustle. That's it for today, guys. Wealth doesn't come to those who wait. It comes to those who hustle. That's it for today, guys. Becoming wealthy isn't easy, but it's worth every bit of sacrifice if you're willing to commit to the process. So stay focused, stay disciplined, and your future self will thank you. Thank you for
