Why Getting Rich Won't Fix What's Wrong With You

Añadido: 2026-05-07

[00:00:00]Everybody wants to be rich and successful, [music] drive the Lamborghini, live in the mansion, have two staff, travel the world, or let's make that more fancy, traverse the earth. But what they don't talk about is the process of getting there. And as somebody who [music] has gone from not knowing what to do to now working with everybody from Victor Pride at boldeter.com, bestselling authors, big marketing [music] companies, and partnering with and working with Andrew Tate and Tristan Tate. I'm the best at what I do, but I didn't get here overnight. And even now, I'm working to become better. And so, the thing that I want you to understand is stop trying to rush the process.

[00:00:38]Let's say in the next 12 months, you want to have a million dollars. You're going to be driving a Lamborghini. You want to live in a mansion. You want to have 200 staff. You can do that. But in my experience, based off working with thousands of customers and clients around the world, that would literally destroy you. And that's why it's not going to happen. and instead chase the success, chase the freedom for reasons that are [music] actually important to you. The Lamborghini, the mansion, the 200 staff. It fills some kind of void in your life. That's why you're after it.

[00:01:05]And you think that you'll finally be happy and at peace when XYZ thing happens. But I'm going to tell you this, it's not like that. But I remember whenever I first got started, my whole thing was I wanted to not have to worry about a job. Then it happened. Then I thought, hm, I want to be able to make enough money to where I could travel the world. I accomplished that. Oh, there's still something missing. [music] When I hit 10K a month, that's when I'll be happy. Then I hit 10K a month. Woke up the next morning, I was the same person.

[00:01:28]When I looked in the mirror, had the same problems, the same voice in my head, etk.

[00:01:34]Then what about 50K? Then what about traveling all over the world even more?

[00:01:39]And so [music] that didn't fix anything.

[00:01:40]That's a topic for a whole another video, but I want to stay on point for you. But understand that who you are becoming right here, right now, while you might not necessarily be where you want to be and you in your mind think, Dylan, I disagree. If I had $10,000 a month right now, my life would be absolutely amazing. I'm telling you, [music] bro, it will be better, but that is not the full thing that you're chasing. That's not the full thing you're chasing. That's not the thing that's actually going to fulfill you and fill that hole inside of your mind, inside of your soul. Instead, what you are chasing is the development of your character, your mind, your body, your spirit. And you need to enjoy the process. As hard as that is, and believe me, I'm going to make this video and then as soon as this video is done, I'm going to get back into the work I'm doing. And I'm probably going to have to catch myself, Dylan, focus. You feel like you have to accomplish everything all at once every single day. Like, I'm running two campuses. We're growing this channel. We're growing Instagram. We're growing the blog. We've got clients.

[00:02:40]We've got so many different things happening all at the same time while I'm also simultaneously have a personal life. And it's the family arc time. And so you're going to be wearing so many different hats. [music] And I'm telling you that if you try to force it to change and evolve overnight, it will break [music] you. Today, the current me, the things that don't even break a sweat would destroy me 4 years ago, 3 years ago. But I just learned a long time ago that it takes as long as it takes. And I get it. Whenever you're not in the position you want in life, you're like, "Oh, what do you mean it takes as long as it takes? I need to change this now." It will take care of itself. As long as you're showing up every single day and you're actually focused on improving the business, improving your skill set, you're being useful to the marketplace and to your clients, to your customers, it will take care of itself.

[00:03:24]But people just try to fantasize and [music] romanticize this business thing because they understand that we all have insecurities. And if they romanticize this business or making money, ooh, that that's going to pull you and you're going to start chasing that. And the money is amazing. I love my life right now. The life I've chosen, I've chosen it. I would have it no other way. The freedom, the family, like thanks be to God for all of that. You cannot romanticize and fantasize. [music] You need to live in reality. I'll share it with you. The reality of business. On any given day, I wake up 8 9:00 a.m. and I already have a task list of things I need to do. Sometimes that's recording new audio lessons for my students. Other times that's I'm going to go live. Other days that's I'm going to be writing up some blog articles. I actually like days like that where I could just write a blog article or an email. There's a creation aspect. Or maybe it's recording a YouTube video like I'm doing for you right now. And then I've got meetings that I have to go to both IRL or just digitally. And then I've got 40 different people that are in one of my companies that the most random message.

[00:04:26]Oh my gosh, this one problem's popping up or we've got this one tech issue. And then I've got to sit down and be like, "Okay, how do we deal with [music] this?" And of course, I've got an amazing right-hand guy. He takes care of a lot of this, but there's still some component that requires my attention.

[00:04:38]Maybe I'm [music] thinking about, example, Instagram. They're changing up the algorithm. The followers are dropping off. The views are dropping off. How can we fix that? I have to sit down and think about it. Or I have to approve different invoices or approve different things that people send me. Or maybe I've got something in my personal life that I want to work on. As an example, I've been fixing [music] my gut health. So on any given day, I have to be in like probably 40 different modes, 40 different hats I have to put on. I've got the personal life Dylan. I've got the boss Dylan. I've got the email writer Dylan. I've got the copywriter Dylan. I've got the professor Dylan. Oh, and I spend to go to the gym. I've got to get my steps in. Got to eat good food. All that type of stuff. I've got all these different versions of myself.

[00:05:17][music] When you're running a business and you're outside of the quote unquote system, you're going to have so many different hats that you have to wear.

[00:05:24]But on top of this, let's say your business is generating $30,000 a month.

[00:05:28]That doesn't mean you're making $30,000.

[00:05:29]You probably have, let's just use this as an example, $500 a month in software costs. [music] You're probably going to have $5 to $12,000 a month in staff costs. Okay? So, that's taken another chunk out of your 30K. Then you've got accountants, you've got bookkeepers, you've got taxes. How much are you left with? You've got rent. You've got all these different bills. [music] Whatever.

[00:05:48]You have to stop romanticizing business as a way that it's going to fill some kind of hole. And you have to stop trying to push things and force things [music] before you're quite ready. I've worked with 75,000 people. Actually, it's more than that by this point, customers and clients around the world.

[00:06:04]And I'm very good at what I do. I'm the best at what I do. And I'm telling you, it will take as long as it takes. And the best thing that you [music] can do, as mindnumbing as it is, where you want to make things happen as quickly as possible because you have to become a multi-millionaire, you have to travel the world, [music] you have to have the family, you have to have it all, you have to have it right now. The faster you become at peace with it will take as long as it takes. All I have to do is focus on showing up every single day, putting my work boots on, and handling whatever problems show up. As an example, I've got a possibly life-changing thing that's going to be happening 2 months from recording this video. It will very likely put me on the map here in the country of Georgia. I'm already recognized in the streets, but this will very likely make me massively mainstream here [music] in this country.

[00:06:49]I could be thinking and planning, okay, I need the logistics. We need probably eight supercars. We need somewhere up in the mountains. I need two camera crews.

[00:06:56]Okay, then we need to have this set up.

[00:06:58]We have to have this set up. We have to have this set up. Let me get all the logistics sorted. But you know what? I'm not even going to think about it until it's like 100% like this is going to happen around this time. At that point, I'm going to handle it. At that point, I'm going to start putting together the logistics. So, even I'm taking my own advice here. And I'm telling you, you'll be so much more creative, so much more mentally powerful, and just a better human being whenever you realize that [music] you can't have everything that you want all at the same time instantly.

[00:07:24]You can only do so much on any given day. And that's not about being passive.

[00:07:28]Cuz that's what I would have said before. Oh, that's being passive. No, it's nothing about being passive. If you saw the amount of work that myself and my team do on a day-to-day basis, you would be like, are you crazy? But it's because we're intentional and we know, okay, we'll get to this, we'll get to this, we'll get to this. This is the highest priority thing right now. We're going to do this. That's why sometimes [music] this YouTube channel won't get a new upload for 8 days or 2 weeks. As much as I super want this YouTube channel to blow up, and it will over time, there's other things that have a higher priority. And by the way, I'm working on an article right now for common.com. you can click link down below and go read the full article. And so to take away something from this video, you're doing right. You're doing well. You're doing what you need to do.

[00:08:08]As long as you're waking up every single day and you're actually working on things that will push you closer to what you've defined as what you want, you're doing great in my book. And the next thing is once again to stop romanticizing this idea that when I do this, then I'll finally be able to do this. Start your business today. If you already have the business, great. Focus on taking on more clients. Stop worrying about problems that haven't even happened. Well, what if I take on three more clients? How am I going to just go do it? If you want to have a family, start your family. Yeah, but this is a real story. I've got a friend of mine.

[00:08:40]He's like, "Yeah, once I hit $2 million net worth and I have this, this, [music] this, this, this, this, this, then I'm going to find a girl. Then I'll start having like you're not going to I can promise you there's going to be another thing that you have to wait until I hit this. Then I could It's a sigh off. It's delusion." And actually to summarize this whole video is basically stop thinking that once you have something then XYZ thing will be able to happen.

[00:09:02]Enjoy the process. Enjoy the moment.

[00:09:04]Enjoy what you're building. It's not so serious all the time where you have to be feeling like everything's an endless battle and suffering. Why don't you just actually enjoy the work you're doing?

[00:09:12]Enjoy the life that you have. Look in the mirror right now and say, "I love myself. I love my life. This is the life I've chosen." Tell yourself that and let me know down in the comments. Now, if there's any other thing, any other topic, any other whatever you would like me to discuss, help me out. Help me out.
