Step one, in order to become rich off of YouTube, we first have to tackle the way that you think why do some poor people win the lottery and lose all their money shortly after and our poor again? And why did some rich people lose all their money? And then shortly after, make it all back in our rich again, why is that? In each of our minds, there's like a little mark where we feel we are worth. And no matter what externally happens in our lives, we win the lottery, we lose all our money, whatever it is, sooner or later, we kind of returned back to where we feel we're worth, whether it be a million dollars or $1,000. So in order to become rich off the YouTube or anything else, for that matter, we first have to change the way that we think and we have to move that bar of self worth higher in order to move that bar up or down.
We first have to change the way that we feel about money. Have you heard any of these phrases come out of your parents mouth when you're a kid you know, money is the root of all evil, you're greedy. If you have a lot of money, you have to change the way you feel about money. You have to make it okay in your mind to be rich. Think about it, it makes logical sense. If you say things like, I just don't care about money, of course you have to care.
How are you going to succeed at something if you don't care about it. And if you have a negative association with money, and you feel it's evil, and it's bad, and you're gonna become a bad person, if you have lots of it, if that's your belief system in your mind, of course, you're not going to make lots of money. So let's start with the process of making it okay to be rich. From this moment on, I want you to start paying attention to those remarks in your own mind, and from the lips of the people's mouths around you in your own life. And whenever you catch yourself thinking those thoughts or hearing others saying it, I want you to flip around upside down in your own mind and start setting the literal exact opposite of that thought, for example, instead of saying money is the root of all evil, I want you to start thinking money is the root of all happiness makes a lot of sense, right?
If you start thinking that way, you'll change your actions will change accordingly as well. All right, this next step is very important. It might sound a little out there, but just trust me on this. I want you to start visualizing what your life will look like when you succeed at your YouTube goals. And what I mean by that is, I want you to close your eyes. When you wake up anytime throughout the day, just close your eyes.
And I want you to picture very vividly and specifically what your life will look like when you succeed, what kind of house you live in, what kind of car you'll drive, this is very important, because we have to start really imprinting that image into your mind, it's going to affect everything that you do. Now, you might be asking yourself, what does this have to do with succeeding on YouTube? Take it from me, take it from the people that I've worked with. This is part of the recipe for success. If you do want to get those hundred million views in a year, you have to believe it. And part of believing it is really over and over in your mind picturing what that look like.
It's to the point where you start to believe it. It's very easy for somebody to go with you on the path of YouTube and believe in it once you've already succeeded and you have millions of views and subscribers. At that point, no one's gonna question but if you tell your friends and family right off the top, hey, I'm quitting my job and I'm going to be a YouTuber. There might be a lot of negativity, and you don't want that to get into your mind, you need to be very positive and very focused. So I suggest not telling anybody about your YouTube goals just yet. Keep it to yourself, maybe tell one or two very trusted friends.
But this is not something you want to brag about, or tell everybody because, you know, people, oftentimes they don't want you to succeed. That's the honest truth. Maybe they're, they themselves are too scared to go after it or they might be jealous of you or who knows what, but you don't need any of that negativity. So just a little suggestion on your path. I say keep it to yourself. So again, we have to change your feelings, your thoughts and your feelings towards money.
You have to have a great positive relationship with money. You have to feel that you deserve to be rich, that is a good thing that you that you are worthy of it and now only that that you deserve it. You know, some people just feel like they don't deserve it. There's a great movie I watch highly recommended. It's called Burt's buzz. It's the story of the guy who did the company Burt's Bees.
There was an actual guy named Bert, who started the company Burt's Bees and he looks like the actual guy that's on the cover of the products, I highly suggest you go see that movie. But whether you go see it or not, I'm going to spoil it for you a little bit right now because I'm going to talk about the key points of what are important that I learned from that movie. The story of Bert is he was this guy who was kind of live in the middle of nowhere selling honey on the side of the road on jars for five bucks, dirt poor guy. And he met this woman that they fell in love. And she had five kids and she was also dirt poor. And she saw Birdsong, this honey and she said, Bert, we're going to get rich, I'm going to make us rich, and I'm going to use your image as the face of this company, and I'm going to use that to sell these products.
He was kind of a buffoon that just kind of got went along for the ride. He's not the genius behind the company at all. It was this woman that he had met, she was tired of being poor, and she was going to use his image to make them rich. I think she sold the company for hundreds of millions of dollars was her share that she ended up with what she said in an interview that I saw, which is in the movie, she said, becoming rich, the process of it. The first thing you have to do is you have to make the money in your mind first Long before you make it in real life, and that that was the hardest part really, truly believing and seeing yourself as a rich person and believing it 100%
