Why The Epst**n Files Are Keeping You BROKE.

So obviously there's a lot of stuff in

the news at the moment about island and

politics and wars and stuff and I want

to just tell you that like if you're

paying attention to this stuff like you

you're going to be broke and

unsuccessful. I mean no disrespect to

the victims of you know satanic

murderous PDF files. And I don't mean

disrespect to people at war or countries

at war. But guys you got to understand a

very important quote. Give them bread

and games and they will never revolt.

Now, I'm not here to be some conspiracy

theorist and talk about revolution, but

what I am here to talk about is the idea

that none of this is in your control.

None of it. None of it. Look, when the

when those files released and when all

this news happened recently, I started

looking at it on Twitter. I redownloaded

Twitter to start looking at it. I

started watching YouTube videos on it. I

started reading the news on it behaviors

that I've never taken in before. Because

the thing with these with these with

these dramas and with these with these

issues in the world is they're very very

um they're very engaging. You got to

watch them. And what happens if you're

not careful is these things like

politics, like the news, like you know,

conflicts and stuff that you see online,

they take up a massive portion of your

mental space and there's nothing you can

do about them. And so what ends up

happening is your brain starts obsessing

over figuring out what's going on here

and it starts trying to figure out like

all these things. And your brain's an

optimization machine, which means that

when you whatever you feed it, it will

try and make sense of if you're trying

to run a business or you're trying to

build a career or become successful in

your life. You need to feed your brain

information that enables you to do that

because your life is the product of the

information you consume. And if you

don't believe me, like literally go and

look at anyone's life. Like you can only

take actions or make behavioral

decisions based on information available

to you in your conscious or unconscious

mind. And the only way for your brain to

know something is for you to receive

information from your environment. And

so the reason that a lot of people are

unsuccessful is because they spend all

their time obsessing over the news,

obsessing over social media and all

these things and they don't really get

any work done. And so you've got to

imagine that your brain is like it's

it's like you've got so much mental

bandwidth or real estate. And these

dramatic things that happen consume part

of your brain. And I can tell you from

experience, if you want to become a

millionaire or you want to do something

idiosyncratic with your life, like

become majorly successful, you need to

dedicate every single neuron in your

brain to the task at hand, which is

building the business or building the

career. And what I see time and time

again with people is they get dragged

into these rabbit holes, these

conspiracy theories, which a you can

never really figure out or prove, and b

you're never going to understand the

full picture. C, you're being taken for

some ride because there's a reason why

all of this stuff comes out when it

does. There's a reason why the

algorithms spite when they do. It's all

it's all controlled. But here's the

thing, the kicker is it's not in your

control. There's nothing you can do. And

one of my favorite quotes from Epic

Tetus, a Stoic, said, "If it's not in my

control, it's none of my concern." The

thing about this is a lot of people are

very afraid. A lot of people are very

frightened. They live in their country

and the fabric of society, it feels as

though it's being eroded away. Do you

know what I mean? like you you suddenly

start feeling a little less safe out on

[snorts] the street or you suddenly

start trusting the police a little bit

less or suddenly you don't believe

anything the news says anymore or

suddenly you don't know what's real and

what's not like your your perception of

reality is starting to sort of degrade

and your trust in authority figures and

in in platforms of authority is starting

to be sort of degraded and this is

because of your consumption but also you

have every right to not have those trust

in those things because they usually

lie. But here's the thing. My philosophy

for politics is to stay as far away from

it as you can and focus on your

business. Because let me tell you

something. The only way the only thing

that is in your control is how much

money you have and how much money you

make. That is directly in your control.

You can build a company. You can build

skills. You can become smart. You can

work really hard. You can be disciplined

and build a company that adds value and

make money. You can't control what's

happening on random islands near

Barbados. You can't control whether or

not America and Russia go to war. You

can't control what chips China

manufactures. You can't control

immigration. None of this is in your

control. What you can control is your

behavior and your discipline and you can

build your life up and build your

financial situation up to a point where

you have autonomy over the world. And

what this basically means is my

situation right now, for example, if

everything went to crap, like if we had

a massive World War II or a new disease

outbreak, I could move anywhere I wanted

to in a moment's notice with a private

jet and a full suite of anything that I

needed now because I've I've built my

wealth and because I have control over

my life. You have nothing to worry about

when you're rich. Let me make that very

clear. You have nothing to worry about

when you're rich. I give you an example.

Andrew Carnegie was enlisted to fight in

the Civil War in the um America's

Revolutionary War, you know, whenever

that wasn't at the 1800s. I don't know.

My my my history is not that great.

Anyway, Andrew Carnegie was enlisted to

fight in the war, like mandatorily

engaged to fight in the war. He was the

founder of like the Carnegie Steel

Network and stuff. He alongside John D.

Rockefeller, alongside Vanderbilt,

alongside all these other successful men

paid another man to go to war for them.

I don't think you understand how much

control and power money gives you. There

is nothing that anyone can inflict on

you from a socio macroeconomic

standpoint or a cultural standpoint if

you are rich. And this isn't some red

pill Andrew Tayes conversation to have

of like you know you you they're all

coming for you and you've got to defend

this. That's not my point here. My point

is that it is in your control. And

instead of having an opinion on

politics, you need to have an opinion on

discipline and on work and on the niche

that you've selected and on the business

that you're building because it doesn't

like your opinion doesn't matter. Like

yes, you we have a democracy and yes,

you can vote and yes, you can change

things and in your own little way with

your little protests and stuff, but let

me tell you something about my opinion

of politics. I've spent the last 10

years of my life building a fortune.

I've made $40 million online. And by the

way, if you want to learn how to do that

as well, there is a solution here. It's

Imperium Academy. There's a link in the

description you can click. It's a free

course I built, but whatever. We'll tell

about that in a second. Um,

the only thing you'll control is how

much money you make. Like, it is in your

control. And so, if if tomorrow World

War II broke out or there was a massive

outbreak or if the government systems

broke down, I would just fly to the

safest country I could find. I don't

care if it's Switzerland. I don't care

if it's Singapore. I don't care if it's

if it's Antarctica. If you've got money,

you're always going to be fine. Now, the

cool thing about having money is you can

buy passports, you can buy access, you

have something everyone wants, you can

charter private jets, you can charter

helicopters, you can you can stock up.

Like, you have the resource that

everyone wants. Now, if there was a

massive apocalypse, then obviously that

would be a slight problem, right? But

even then, you can get to the point

where you can buy bunkers. And this is

the thing is I'm I'm not a doomsday

prepper. Like, I don't have a hundred

tins of tomato soup in my flat in case

everything goes to [ __ ] tomorrow. The

point that I'm making here is stop

scrolling through drama because what

happens when you do that is it it like I

noticed this like your brain obsesses

over it. Like I was looking at the I was

like looking them up and researching

them. I was I was watching content on

them. I was watching YouTube breakdowns

and reading Twitter threads and what

started to happen is I I I noticed this

thing that I've never felt before in the

last 10 years. Genuine fear. I started

to feel disturbed and anxious and I it

messed with my sleep and it messed with

my my head and I couldn't really focus

at work and I kind of realized I was

like what am I doing? Like none of this

is my in my control. All I'm doing is

consistently stimulating my amydala and

my nervous system to generate a fear

response. And your brain loves doing

this. Your your neurochemistry is

addicted to doing this because it likes

to know what's safe and what isn't. And

when it finds something that isn't safe,

it it wants to it wants to be as close

to it as possible from an exposure

standpoint so that it knows to stay away

from it, if that makes sense. Cuz it's a

sort of inverted fear. But I noticed

like my business started to suffer over

the course of the last week. Like I've

still been working incredibly hard. I've

been put in ridiculous hours. But like

in the evenings instead of like thinking

about work, I was thinking about these

these bloody files. And again, no

disrespect to the the victims and all

this stuff, but it's not in my control,

so it's none of my concern. And a lot of

people use the cope of saying, "Oh, but

you need to be educated and you need to

be conscious and you need to why

why why does me being educated on on

these conflicts and all these bad things

happen? Why why is that good for the

world? It doesn't it doesn't make it

doesn't change my behavior well

obviously it might prevent me from doing

terrible things which I'm never going to

do anyway, but you've got to start

critically thinking about why you're

watching these things." And when you

learn to remove yourself from the news,

from the feeds, and from the drama, and

remove yourself from all that, you're

going to find so much mental peace and

clarity where you can focus on things

that are in your control, which is your

wealth, your net worth, and your

success. And if you build that for long

enough and remove these distractions for

long enough, when something massive

comes along that drags you in, you'll

become very cognizant of the fact you're

being dragged in. Like right now, people

are mindless zombies. Most people are

consuming all of these all this content

just mindlessly, and that and it

generates so much fear. Like I had this

conversation with a guy the other day

who's like, "Yeah, I need he's in the

UK." He's like, "Yeah, I wish we could

buy guns in the UK now." And I was like,

"Why?" He's like, "Well, because you

know when when like when everything

falls apart and the social situation

like completely crumbles before us." I'm

like, "Dude, you're just you're not

seeing things objectively. You've been

polarized by your algorithm." And that's

not to say that there aren't real

socioeconomic cultural issues in the

current climate of geopolitics. Like

there definitely are issues that we're

facing that you might want to be have

some level of understanding of how they

work. But this obsessive thing where

you're just like you're like like you're

like wired into the machine, man. It's

not healthy. You've got to unplug

yourself because the the truth is that

it takes too much mental bandwidth. Like

imagine you've got 100 acres of of

mental real estate to work with every

day and that's all you've got. And for

me, like my business takes up all 100

acres. There might be an acre dedicated

to my health, a couple of acres

dedicated to my family, a few acres

dedicated to my relationships, but the

rest of it is just work. But when you

start letting in these toxic little

poisonous trends, these these conflicts,

you know, suddenly before you know it,

30 or 40 of your acres are taken up by

conspiracy theories and drama and

politics and and all this stuff. And

it's just it's just like the only news

that I've watched in the last year was

the release of the UK budget to see what

would happen to my dividend tax and

corporation tax rates. Sometimes things

are relevant, but as I watched it for 30

minutes, I got the breakdown. I turned

it off and I got out and that was it.

You need to learn to have this

discipline with dramatic things.

Otherwise, you're going to find yourself

spending time on them, focusing on them,

and it's going to consume your brain.

And not to mention as well, like stop

having an opinion. You're not educated.

It's like with Brexit. Like with Brexit,

you know, when we left the when when the

UK left the EU, everyone had an opinion

on whether or not we should stay in the

EU or leave the EU, no one knew. Like

you're not no one's smart enough to know

to understand the macroeconomic

long-term cultural impact of the

fragmentation of the European Union.

Like there are PhD students that study

economics that don't even know what's

going to happen. But for some reason,

Bill down the pub thinks we should leave

and Sarah up the road thinks we should

stay because of what they saw on the

news. It it just turns people into you

just you just become an idiot and you

just become this stupid person when

really what you need to do is focus on

your mission, focus on yourself, build

enough wealth so that when everything

goes to [ __ ] if it does, you have the

power and the autonomy to exercise

control over your immediate environment

to protect your family and your friends

and the people that you love because you

worked and focused whilst everybody else

was blindly scrolling through a screen

just terrified of what's going to

happen. Be the person that leads. Focus

and do that. If you want help building a

business and you want to become

successful and you don't know how to

start and that's one of your problems,

there's a link in the description you

can click. It's called Imperium Academy.

It's a free course. There's no credit

card required. It took me a year to

build. We've got 50,000 people in there

right now. All getting results, getting

their first clients. Um, check it out if

you want. But I want to just I want to

just rant about this cuz I'm just I it

happened to me and I was like, "Shit, if

it happened to me, like other people

must be in some real trouble." So, yeah.

See?
