2.2 million dollars in his lifetime. Which is a  lot of money, but Bezos makes that in under just  

15 minutes, which is mind-blowing.  He makes an estimated 149,353  

dollars every minute. By the end of this  video, Bezos is going to make more money  

than you would in your entire life. I know that these numbers can damage  

your self-esteem because making that  kind of numbers seems impossible. 

Forbes estimates his net worth much bigger  than the entire British royal family. 

It's a living proof that you can get wealthier  than even royal families if you have the right  

mindset and the skills. So here in this video,  

we are going to take a look at 7 skills  that you need to start building wealth.  

Without mastering these skills, you  will not go far, especially financially,  

so if you want to get out of that dark financial  position that you are in, listen carefully because  

you are about to find out the skills that  will help you to become financially free. 

They may not directly earn you more money, like  copywriting, coding or marketing but in many ways,  

they are far more important, and I would go as far  as to say, without them, you will achieve nothing. 

But what's far more important is giving this video  a thumbs up because there is no other way to let  

YouTube know that this video is great other  than interacting with it which means, giving  

a thumbs up and commenting. It doesn't matter  what you comment. Just go down to the comment  

section and type whatever you want and let's see  is that's going to help this video get promoted.  


 persuasive skills

Take a look at any businesses. You  will realize that all they do is sell,  

sometimes it's a service or a product, and quite  often, the product is not even produced by them.  

But they know how to sell it. If you are a good salesman, you will  

never be poor because in the world of capitalism. Think for a moment. Let's say you have great  

selling skills. All that is left  for you to do is to pick a product,  

and it's a matter of time before you sell  enough to be drawn in a pile of cash. 

There is a reason why people buy from  one person and ignore the other. There  

is a reason why people prefer to buy one  company, not from thousands of others. 

And if you are serious about building real  wealth, you cant simply skip this skill.  

Because without it you can't go far. Selling doesn't necessarily mean  

selling a product. You might need to sell  yourself or your team to get that investment. 

When you are in a job interview, you are trying  to sell yourself to get that position. And the  

better persuasive skills you have, the higher  the salary you will be able to negotiate. 

The best way to pomp up your persuasive skills  is to become a salesman just to learn these  

skills. Every day you will be talking to dozens  of people trying to sell them something. And it  

will be only a matter of time before you will feel  completely comfortable selling anything to anyone. 


 2. Playing Chess

If you know how to play Chess, then you  understand the importance of strategy.  

The goal isn't to get rid of  your opponent's every soldier  

but rather focus on his greatest weakness and trap  him. As soon you get rid of his king, he is done.  

Before making any move, you should be able to  see at least a few steps ahead of you because  

you do not win the game by a single move but  rather a bunch of moves carefully planned ahead,  

which is how you also build a business. The game of chess helps you to see the  

bigger picture instead of just focusing on  what's happening now. It helps to understand  

that it is alright to lose small battles in the  short run in order to win the game in the end.  

 Chess is about strategy, and without  a strategy, you can't build wealth. 


 3. Patience  


 Do you know how most people lose money? 

A stock or an asset suddenly starts rising for  one reason or another. It's all over the news;  

everyone talks about it. From the outside, it  seems like one a lifetime opportunity, so you feel  

like you are missing out. You don't want to sit  aside and watch how everyone is making a fortune  

while you are not, so you jump in but then  suddenly the bubble bursts, the stock crashes,  

and you lose your entire investment. Isn't  that what happened with Gamestop, for example.  

That's why you have to learn to be  patient. Don't be driven by your emotions.  

There is no quick way to get rich. Of course,  there are opportunities that, time to time,  

come and go that could earn you millions in a  matter of a few years, but that's rare, and if  

you want to take advantage of such opportunities,  you have to spot them way before the public does. 

I have seen a countless number of people who lost  fortunes just because they weren't patient enough.  

It's not an easy skill to master but if you do  not master it, you are going to get back to your  

dark financial position sooner or  later, even if you win the lottery. 


 4. self-education 


 If there is one lesson  

you will take out of this video, let it be this  one. When you go to school, you are brainwashed  

into thinking that's the place where you learn,  you need someone to teach you something, and then  

you have to go to college to learn something so  that you can be a valuable member of society,  

but what happens instead you memorize a  bunch of useless facts that you, later on,  

write down on a test, and then a few moments  later you forget absolutely everything. 

Here is what I hate the most about the school.  Whenever I use to ask my teacher about the point  

of learning, she would always reply,  you will need it in the future,  

it's important or something along those lines.  But there was never a good reason to motivate  

me to learn that, which is why I think  the entire school system is broken.  

The teacher has a way to teach, and she assumes  that method works with everyone, which is not the  

case. People are different! 
 

Imagine if you go to school and you learn  the things that will really help you in life.  

Just a simple example of why you should never  rely on traditional institutions for knowledge  

is you never learn anything about  stuff that matters, such as money,  

relationships, social skills, and many more. So learning how to teach yourself is the  

most important skill ever. You no longer need a  degree or someone, especially since we have this  

thing called the internet. You can turn on your  computer and teach yourself whatever you want.  


 5. staying focus 

Let me give you one of the best ways to get rich.  This advice works with everyone and it has been  

working since the day humans existed. Spend over  10K hours mastering a skill, a skill that is in  

demand. Become great at it. In fact, be the best  at it so that everyone comes to you for that. 


 Taxes are complicated,  

for example, but everyone has to do their taxes  from individuals to companies. Businesses are  

willing to pay a fortune if you can help them to  avoid paying some taxes, so if you become really  

good at accounting and especially taxes, you  can charge a huge amount of money in exchange  

for financial advice. As long as there is a demand  for that skill, you are going to make a fortune. 


 If you have a business,  

would you pay an accountant 100K if he can save  you 1 million dollars in taxes, for example. 

I think yes! But the only way to master  

any skill is to learn to stay focused.
 6. Silence

When you are trying to impress people with words,  the more you say, the more common you appear,  

and the less in control. Even if you are saying  something banal, it will seem original if you make  

it vague, open-ended. Powerful people impress and  intimidate by saying less. The more you say, the  

more likely you are to say something foolish."  If you have read the 48 laws of power,  

you probably know the power of silence. To build  a successful business, you need to be able to know  

how to deal with people, and silence is a skill  that very few have mastered. Your silence will  

put people in a defensive situation and will  make them say more and reveal about themselves  

and their intentions more. By saying less  than necessary, people will take your words  

more seriously and will listen to them more  carefully, hence making them more valuable. 


 7. Confidence 


 Yes, confidence is a skill.  

Some people are naturally confident, but the vast  majority of us have to learn it. Everything starts  

with believing in yourself, in your abilities,  in your desire to take risks, and you cannot  

do that unless you are confident enough.  Everyone is talented, but most people lack  

the courage to take that step and start  that business, or ask for a promotion  

or say No to everything else in order to  find the time to work on what truly matters. 

I had a huge problem with confidence back when I  was a kid, and as I started working on myself and  

became more confident, everything has changed. By  the way, I have made a short course on my journey  

of how I developed confidence. The  link will be in the description.
