In this episode, we talk about the generational curse of not being a millionaire by the time you're 30 years old, and how to overcome it. We also talk about what it means to be a good parent, and why it's important to have a good relationship with your kids.
00:03:23.220The delusion, like you don't have to sell us anymore on that. We already know.
00:03:26.220But you're smart. You're well spoken. You're beautiful. Like you have a lot of the potential is incredible.
00:03:33.020The potential is incredible. But, but there's the, I had this situation, this situation, this situation, this situation.
00:03:39.820Now Pearl's dad, one of 13, certainly didn't grow up very privileged, right?
00:03:43.820Tell you guys me, like real simple. Like I grew up as a Jew in the Soviet Union, which was not a happy place for Jews.
00:03:49.520We immigrated to Canada in 92, which we're eating at the food bank. And then here, here, here's what happened to me.
00:03:56.520I'll tell you guys a quick story and I hope it's interesting, right?
00:03:58.620I was rollerblading like a complete loser, rollerblading like four or five kilometers to go from my parked car on the highway to my university because I couldn't afford the 75 cents a day they were charging for parking at my university.
00:04:13.120Because I was paying my own school. So I was rollerblading. I would park on the highway and I would rollerblade like a good hour to get to my university campus.
00:04:20.820And somebody saw me do that and they go, wow, you're so motivated. You know, I can see you like you want to stay in shape, blah, blah, blah.
00:04:27.220And I'm too embarrassed to tell this person I'm just fricking poor. Like I can't afford the 75 cents.
00:04:33.820But, but here, but here's the thing. I was lucky because I met a mentor, somebody that said, Hey, you know, you want to do better than this? I was like, yeah.
00:04:41.820And that's a dangerous thing. I was like 19 or 20. It's a dangerous thing. And this person said to me, Hey, I work on this company.
00:04:46.620And what this person was doing is selling encyclopedias door to door. And they said, you can go do this. And I, that's, that's what I did for six years.
00:04:53.620How I paid for university. And I got like two degrees by selling encyclopedias door to door for six years. Luckily, fortunately for me, I met a mentor that saw my potential, saw my energy.
00:05:05.120And I was delusional because whatever I was doing, I couldn't afford 75 cents for parking. So I knew that I was delusional because what I wanted was not what I had in my life. Fair enough.
00:05:13.920I'm going to give a plug. So that's what we do at our company. 53% of our salespeople make six figures within 18 months. 53%.
00:05:22.620The reason I plug us here is lgb.com. Really simple. What you need is like to be around somebody that's actually done what you want to do and not make up stories of how it works. Like there are people that have done what you want to do. Find those people and they will be so happy, happy to mentor you because that's what we do in our company, isn't it?
00:05:41.720What makes you think I'm not in those group of people? What makes you think I am not evolving around those people? The answer is results.
00:05:48.520But my journey actually started properly at 26 years old when I moved to London.
00:05:55.520But I still had to educate myself. I came here with £108 in my pocket. Tell me how I'm going to sort myself out, get my house accrued.
00:06:03.520I kind of understand her. I understand her. I'm going to let him go. I don't think he's talked yet.
00:06:09.520To your point, you were talking about how you came here with £100.
00:06:13.520I immigrated from Bulgaria with my parents and we lived in a single room. It was just a single room, the three of us.
00:06:22.520And right now I'm 21 and just like you, I wanted to do better for myself because I was an electrician and I wasn't happy with how things were going.
00:06:32.520And I joined and all of a sudden I'm meeting high net worth individuals on a daily basis and I'm improving myself.
00:06:40.520And you're here saying I had to take myself from the toxic situations that I had in my life.
00:06:47.520Of course, yes. But everyone deals with them. So that's really an excuse that you tell yourself.
00:06:52.520That's true. But can I say something? For you can look like an excuse. Yeah.
00:06:56.520But what you're trying to say here, you had still your parents on your back.
00:07:00.520You came with your parents on a single room, but you were with your parents.
00:07:04.520You were not by yourself. You were not providing food by yourself.
00:07:08.520You were not paying your bills by yourself. You were not looking around.
00:07:15.520So I understand her. I understand her because I get it. She, I don't know your past, but before moving to London, maybe you didn't, maybe you were just, I don't know.
00:07:29.520You're going through life, the difficulties of learning.
