It's what? $400 in books.

$400 in books, but I know everything there is to know about this subject that actually creates wealth for a lot of people.

And now I built a model.

And so I start with, go get that education.

Then as you go down the road and you read the 20 books, you end up with a model of there's some trainers, educators, you're like, that guy's really got it figured out.

So I found the guy that had it figured out and I went and met with him.

Now he's got some course or training, so I opted into that.

Because

How can people start to shift out of a scarcity mindset into abundance thinking when they're just fight-or-flight survival mode daily?

This is, this is a great question, and I'm, I'm so glad you asked it early on in, in our time together. I was very lucky to have a dad that believed in the American dream, and he built into me, my, the... Psychologically, the ideals of the American dream. He gave me Think and Grow Rich when I was 10 years old and said, "Read this at least one time every year of your life." Um, well, but we came from the hills of West Virginia, in the hollers, and my grandfather did not believe in the American dream. Uh, he worked in the coal mines, he worked in the factories, uh, the chemical factories. He basically believed that money was a f- a source of evil. Uh, he believed people that hadn't were greedy. Uh, he believed he was entitled to money that he didn't create. Um, and he always, he always viewed it as anybody that had money was a crook. And my dad rejected that. My dad, by the time he was 10 years old, was an entrepreneur three times over. He sold newspapers, he sold cloverine sap to the, the miners where their hands were cracked, and he shined shoes. So, he believed that if you created value for other people, uh, that you would be rewarded with wealth and prosperity, and that people that had money weren't crooks, but they actually were really hardworking and dedicated. And he loved this country and the values that it stood for. So the minds... When... Every summer, we'd go back to West Virginia and I'd see the people living in the poverty, and they didn't have physical shackles.

Oh, but it fulfills a survival nature, right?

Yeah. So, we all want things and we want things for our survival. That's instincts. Food, clothing, shelter, love, that kind of stuff. And then we go out and we obtain things, and we obtain those things, most of us, um, but then we want more. Toyota even had that commercial, Oh, What A Feeling, you know, when you get the Toyota. So you don't just want a new car, you want a really nice car. You don't want a n-... house, you want a really nice house, you know? So, and then when you do get something, whether it's the computer or golf clubs or a purse or whatever it is, you have it for a while, you obtained it, you felt good about it for a little while, then you start comparing it to what everybody else has. Uh, I had a boat I bought in Florida when we had a f-... a house down there, and it we ha-... it was a 37-footer, three, uh, 300 Yamaha motors. I loved that boat, had tons of fun on that boat. It was adventurous, really great. And then one day, there was a 180-foot yacht and their dinghy was bigger-
