One of my favorite movies of all time is called “The Game” starring Michael Douglas. In that movie the star is taken through a series of events seemingly out of his control. But behind the scenes he’s being directed to make decisions that will end up with the best outcome for him. The goal being to take him outside his comfort zone.
It’s a crazy movie and you should definitely see it of you haven’t. The main character is a very successful business man that has his life all planned out only to be turned completely upside down by “The Game”.
The point I want to make is that there are two types of people in this world. Those that need to be directed – aka “told what to do” – and there are those that are self-starters (don’t need to be told what to do).
I think most people fluctuate between the two types depending on experience, motivation, interest, etc. but in the end there are only two types.
Some people stay one type their whole life. They never step outside their comfort zone because of some fear.
Fear comes in many facets but none are real. I’ll talk more about that in a bit. In the end you are either making decisions to direct your life or they are being made for you.
Which camp do you want to be in?
All that being said, I have a very ambitious plan to get EVERYONE reading this into the camp that directs their own life without fear and acts BOLDLY to achieve whatever they want in life. It’s pretty simple to do. Just think about what you want to do, be, see or achieve and then remove all blocks to those goals. 99.999% of those blocks are just fear.
Fear is NOTHING but a story you are telling yourself to justify inaction.
Seriously. Read that sentence again slowly and really think about it.
Fear is NOTHING but a story you are telling yourself to justify inaction.
To completely remove every fear you’ve ever had read this chapter of a new book I’m writing. Once fear is gone then it’s all about taking the steps one by one.
What steps you ask? That’s pretty simple too; You just back into it. That’s also covered in the chapter I just wrote too. Get it here.
OK, now what?
A plan.
My plan is to turn my whole business upside down. I’m switching from a completely for-profit model to a partial-profit model. “What’s that mean weirdo?”, you say. Glad you asked. 
It means that after spending millions of dollars on dumb shit and pleasing only myself I’ve found that I’m left with a lack of fulfillment. Yeah I’ve had all the best the world can offer from private jets, luxury homes, exotic cars, etc. But nothing brings me satisfaction other than helping others.
So, after much thought I’ve decided to make a radical move.
I know after much testing that all I need is about $600,000 per year to do anything I ever want to do. Anything above that gets wasted and makes me an idiot. (Seriously)
So, I’m changing everything. My goal is make 100 MILLION DOLLARS, and then give nearly all of it away. Yep, all of it (minus my $600k a year). And I want to give a huge chunk of it to my students and coaching clients. The rest will go to charity.
Crazy? Hell yes it is. But I believe this can work.
But we gotta start somewhere. So you gotta start with mindset.
Mindset is EVERYTHING. Without the right mindset you can’t even take the first step. So start by getting my “fear removal” tool here. Study that, take action and then you’ll have all you need to go to the next step. The next step is obviously start with a solid money making system.
I’ll get into that in the next post.
Talk soon,
Matt

Hi Matt, thanks for all your great content. At times it’s been a little over my head but I’ve started to break it down and take massive focused action. I had no idea the power of what others think was holding me back so much.
Your effect on me – “Put it out there, make it good & see what happens, if it works GREAT, if it doesn’t tweak it or bin it but at all times keep moving!”
Regards,
Shayne
From Matt: Perfect! Keep taking action. It’s the best thing you can do to achieve success. Eventually it becomes MUCH easier!
Killer post! I’ll be watching your journey to 100 mil ; )
Hey Matt,
Is the money-making system you’re going to be sharing with us the same one as you’re using to reach $100 million?
Is there just one system, or many, that you’re going to show?
Btw, what do you need $600k/year for?
Ed
From Matt: I’m gonna show a lot of systems. The idea is to show you that you CAN DO IT.
$600k goes quicker than you think.
Hi Matt, my problem in the past have been information overload and programs that didn’t work. I have plenty of action in me, just haven’t come across a program that won’t bankrupt me before I can tell if it’s going to work. So, I’m interested in seeing the holy grail!
The interesting part might be walking the tight rope without a net.
Certainly is a leap into deep waters. Many people in your position would lay off $600K times their life expectancy at interest to cover inflation and guarantee a worry free life, even if an accident should occur, and then…play with the rest.
However I like the bold move and of course assume that you have already preserved your future.
I will be watching closely and learning all I can from you Matt. Heaven knows I need to get my ass in gear and to do the big things I have on my plate. So far this year, I have developed a simple herbal mix anyone can blend that has saved a my girl friend from dying from HEP C. Despite the fact that the doctors sent her home to die.
Now I’m headed to court to challenge the restriction to our liberty known as the drivers license. I’m amazed at why people think they can change the country with their vote. It’s almost pointless. The framers laid out the method to eliminate big government and bad laws over 200 years ago…. you do not need guns, survival gear, para military training or any of that (although as a Marine I believe people should know how to defend themselves). Anyone can make huge changes in America with simple easy paperwork.
As soon as I have won this case and set a president for others to use, I am on to making money in & with projects I have been let simmer on the back burner. I will be dumping most of the other so called Gurus emails from my email account and focusing on what you’re doing here and what you’re sharing and teaching. Learn from people who are making it work… success does leave clues.
Thanks again Matt
Great post… keep that light shining dude!
