The Psychology of Building Real Wealth L...

Dan Martell
About this episode

Working hard isn't what makes you rich. If it was, the people grinding 12 hour days at two jobs would already be wealthy, and they're not.

The truth is the 1% operate on a completely different set of mental models than everyone else, and until you adopt them, you'll stay stuck no matter how many hours you put in.

In this episode, I'm walking you through the exact mindset shifts I used to become a multi-millionaire by 28 and build a venture studio approaching a billion dollar valuation. Watch till the end because the last one is the one almost nobody talks about.
