Lose Your Friendship

This post is about lose your friendship.

I will give you three logical reasons to lose your friendship.

Friends come and go, trust me on that.

In a day and age where people are more entitled, rude, disrespectful, and narcissistic, is it any surprise that there are more disagreements and fallouts?

And is it any surprise that the more you level up, improve yourself, and realize your potential and self-worth, those friends seem to crap all over you?

I have had the displeasure of falling out with many friends over the years, and most of them are people I went to high school with.

I am a 34-year-old man, I left high school at 18, an incredible 16 years ago now.

Am I the same person I was 16 years ago? Absolutely not.

People change, people grow, people innovate and adapt, at least I do for sure.

How can I honestly be the same as a teenager whilst now being in my almost mid-thirties?

It is virtually impossible.

But the people who were my friends from school and college, are pretty much the same.

They have not grown out of their old habits and are deeply routed in the high school mentality of what is popular and cool.

It is no wonder that hardly any of these people have amounted to anything of substance.

When you level up in life, you unfortunately must leave certain people behind.

Most people including friends and family want to see you fail in life.

Because it makes them somehow feel better about themselves, and they cannot wait to turn around say “see I told you so.”

High achievers and people who grow their worth and confidence literally level up.

Their mentality, bank balance, health and physique, and that inner confidence all grows.

I was not a loser in high school, but I really am a shadow of the teenager I once was.

But certain people, friends, and so on will always pigeonhole me as that kid from school.

I am an adult for crying out loud!

Do not feel guilty about losing your friendship, there are more important things for you to focus on instead.

Such as your goals, career, money, business, health, your entire life.

I do not care if you feel lonely, or are desperate for company because:

Friends come and they go.

Here are some logical reasons to lose your friendship:

#1 – Betrayal

If you have ever had a friend betray and hurt you, why on earth would you continue to still be friends with them?

Is your self-esteem so low that you are willing to tolerate literal abuse from somebody?

Here are just a few classic examples of betrayal in a friendship:

Sleeping with your spouse/partner behind your back.

Sabotaging you from your goals and dreams.

Turning almost everybody against you including family.

Catching them talking badly about you behind your back.

Letting you down when they promised to be there for you.

Lending them money that you still haven’t been given back.

Stealing and scamming you out of money!

Embarrassing you beyond belief, and in public or online.

Perhaps I have left some awful things out in that list above, but you get the idea.

One of the worst betrayals I had ever experienced was when I had lost my father.

A former close and dear friend of mine was not supportive, selfish, and rude.

They had no idea how to approach my grief, nor how to offer support the right way.

I bit my tongue for every insensitive comment, every time they would treat my dad dying as “just another death,” etc.

I snapped eventually and was utterly betrayed by a person who apparently “loved me as a friend and my father.”

Marilyn Monroe said, “if you cannot handle me at my worst, you don’t deserve me at my best.”

When time healed and I regained strength after a year of my father’s passing, I realized “that friend only kept me around when times were good, but in my time of pain and sorrow, they were nowhere to be seen.”

Ultimately and very simply put, I was thrown under the bus.

But in the list, I mentioned above, I have had almost all those things and worst happen.

I have had friends cheat on my exes, I have friends steal my money, and other items from my home, I have friends scam me and my family, I have had friends humiliate me.

The fact of the matter is a friend does not do all or any of those things.

For all the friends who did those nasty things and betrayed me, there are others who would never even think of doing that, and likewise, with me.

Instil a one strike policy, if you get betrayed, get rid of them.

#2 – Negative Impact

Another logical reason to lose your friendship is if a person is having a negative and toxic impact on your life.

I do not care how tough, confident, or cool you are, at the end of the day we become the people who we surround ourselves with.

And if we surround ourselves with toxic, narcissistic, abusive, negative people, guess what we are going to end up like?

If you are new to my content, you may be unaware that I suffered a long and painful gambling addiction.

But thank goodness I am clean and sober with no desire to gamble again.

However, in my addiction years, was it any surprise that some of my closest and best friends were gamblers too?

You become who you surround yourself with, and under the tutelage, and influence, I gambled more than I could handle.

“Come to the casino, let us blow it all on a game of roulette!”

“Let us go to the betting shops, try and make a quick buck!”

“Sign up to this online casino and let us all try play the slots at the same time!”

I heard it all, and tried it all, the house always wins, and gambling is one big fat lie.

These guys were nice people but were having a detrimental effect on my life.

I wanted free of my addiction, and in doing so, it meant cutting them off too.

I will never forget when I vowed to become sober, I shed a tear knowing “it will probably be the last I see of my gambling friends.”

I sent a text to all of them announcing my decision to quit, where I was met with abuse and negativity by them all.

The general gist was, “you will never quit, and if you do, you will hardly see us again.”

I was willing to take that chance, sobriety was more important than friends who gambled.

I requested them to meet for drinks and dinner, aka something that did not involve gambling.

None of them showed, nor accepted my offer.

Fortunately looking back once again, I sadly realized these people were not my friends.

Yes, I spoke to them daily, shared jokes, and spent a crazy amount of time together.

But they were just people who wanted an excuse to gamble.

I gave them that excuse, I reinforced their toxic behaviour, and in return, that behaviour rubbed off on me the exact same way.

Are your friends having a toxic effect on your overall wellbeing and life?

Lose your friendship if the answer is yes.

#3 – Circumstances

Yes, life can sometimes get in the way of things, and that is just how it goes sadly.

Here are some typical examples of circumstances that end friendships:

Perhaps you worked together but now changed jobs.

Logistically one of you lives far, or abroad from another.

Your interests have changed over time, through growth and maturity.

Your careers take up too much of your time.

Your business means you or they work anti-social hours.

You or they have a family now and are parents.

When were teenagers or at school, we have no responsibility, we have life sussed out, and more time than ever to hang out with friends.

But life happens, finds its way, and makes us go down a brand-new path altogether.

Circumstances in life change, and dramatically too.

I remember back at my high school my prom being huddled with a mixture of guys and girls, we said “we will always be friends, we promise to stick together.”

None of us hang out together at all, some live abroad, some refuse to speak to one another, we have successfully drifted, all of us.

Circumstances happened, arguments occurred, we drifted, people change.

I am not saying never have lifelong friends, but if you are growing, adapting, levelling up, and they want to remain where they are, what do you have in common?

You also run the huge risk of them anchoring you to stay where you are, thus sacrificing your goals, dreams, and ambitions, for what?

For a single person?

For a friend?

For a person who can easily leave your life in a heartbeat.

Circumstances contribute to you potentially losing your friendship.

Stop Trying to Change Other People

This post is about stop trying to change other people.

I will explain exactly why you need to stop trying to change other people in your life.

Years ago, I was in a romantic relationship with a woman who I eventually discovered to be extremely toxic and narcissistic.

However, naively, and foolishly, I was under the impression that I could change her.

“I will get her to be the partner I want, nothing is impossible” was what I said at the very beginning of the relationship.

3 long gruelling and painful years later, the only person that changed was me.

Ironic when you think about it right?

So, what exactly, happened, and why was I so hell bent on changing her?

Because I saw the red flags early on, her entitled and rude behaviour, and stupidly I thought “the longer she is around me, the better she will be.”

Nope, she got far worse, more toxic, more entitled, more argumentative, and a lot more disrespectful overall.

I got so severely burnt in that relationship, as at the time I had no idea what narcissism was, nor how to react to it.

The longer I stayed, the more manipulative tricks I tried, and the more submissive I was, the worse she took advantage.

I am a stubborn man, I do not like to admit I fail, nor do I like to give up easily, I tried everything to turn this relationship around.

I lost, I failed, I screwed up, there was no logical choice but to walk away, cut contact, and never see her ever again.

People rarely change, and toxic people, well you might as well not even think about it.

Narcissists for example despite their fragile ego, genuinely think they are a gift to the world.

The rules do not apply, they are the victims, they are the centre of attention, the most beautiful, smartest, glamourous etc.

And here comes reality aka someone like me trying to bring them down a peg or two, how do you think they react?

With narcissistic rage, abusive, gaslighting, and so much more.

I was destroying my ex’s false identity and image she had created out of her backside.

But even toxic people aside, most people rarely change, look at yourself.

How much have you changed in the last few years?

I did, but only from circumstances, and getting very badly hurt.

Here are some more reasons why you should stop trying to change other people:

#1 – The Wrong Person Principle

First let us discuss the most important of principles when it comes to dealing with any sort of person in any capacity:

You will NEVER be good enough for the wrong person.

What exactly do I mean by never be good enough for someone who is wrong for you?

Simply put, no matter what you do, say, try to convince them etc, they will never accept, love you, value you for who you are.

Sorry to mention my ex again, but it is really a valid argument for this principle.

My late father warned me towards the end of my relationship, “never flog a dead horse.”

That was exactly what I did with the narcissist I dated; I was flogging a dead horse.

Let us consider all the sacrifices I made for her, and how much she changed:

I firstly committed to her and tried to date her seriously for 3 years.

Despite our many arguments and fights, I still forgave and moved on.

She forced me to buy into her entitled and childish morals.

She made me bite my tongue around her toxic family.

I could go on and on, but ultimately no matter what I did, or said how did she change?

She did not in fact she only got worse over time, and more toxic.

She was more entitled, ruder, and more immature than ever before.

I remember turning to my father for advice and saying the following:

“She makes me feel guilty, so I buy her gifts and take her out, and she is not appreciative. I try to talk to her; I get ignored and so on. What do I do?”

My father shook his head, “you will never be good enough for the wrong person son.”

I was stunned by that comment, and then he continued.

“No matter how big a stunt or gesture you pull, it will never be good enough. She will always demand more, and more. You will always be flogging a dead horse.”

Spot on Dad.

This advice is not just for dating, but can be applied to family, friends and so on.

If your disapproving parents are so tough on you, stop trying to seek their approval and just be who you are.

If your friends will never respect or accept you as one of their own, cut them out and make friends with genuine people instead.

If your boss is taking pure advantage of you at work, get the heck out of there and seek something more worthwhile.

See what I mean?

You will NEVER be good enough for the wrong person.

#2 – You Cannot Rule Other People’s Lives

As much as we believe we should, and do at times, simply put we cannot rule other people’s lives, even if it is for a good cause.

If you are new to my content, you may not be aware I was a struggling gambling addict for many years, but thankfully have been clean and sober for a while now.

As a former addict, getting clean and remaining so, is one of my proudest and most difficult of life choices.

If you are struggling with your addiction, please always reach out to a trained medical professional for advice.

Since becoming sober in April 2019, I cannot begin to tell you how much happier and better life has been emotionally and spiritually.

To know I am no longer a slave to the casino and the betting shops etc, has freed my soul from the clutches of evil.

As a sober man, I take it very personally when I hear of others suffering with any form of addiction.

I once had a friend of mine who was addicted to taking drugs and had been for years.

He knew about my addiction, and he could not believe that I was about to be sober.

“Sorry SCG,” he told me in private, “but you will be back to gambling soon.”

Well, it has been over two years now, and he was wrong, and I have no desire to ever put a bet on again.

Seriously that is what is so liberating, I am not using willpower, but instead I educated myself of what caused me to gamble and become addicted and freed myself of its clutches.

I so desperately wanted to help this friend with his drug addiction.

“You do not have to be this way, you can quit! Look at me, I did it, so can you, I swear you will be so much happier.”

No matter what I said, how I told him, he did not want to hear it.

That was not because he was stubborn necessarily, it was because he just was so set in his ways, and his lifestyle.

He replied to me sternly, “you cannot rule my life SCG.”

And he was right.

We drifted apart, but last I heard he still took a lot of drugs and was happy doing so.

Good luck to the guy.

I just thought as a former addict myself, it would help him to see the light.

So, he took would not have to be a slave to what is hurting his mind, body and soul.

But he did not want to change, and he is entitled to think that way.

Even if you want to help, influence others, you cannot rule their life.

Do you know who needs to invest in digital security?

Anyone with something worth protecting.

And if you’re reading this post, I’m guessing that is you.

Because, like most Americans, you’ve spent a good part of your life building a life worth protecting.

#3 – Selfish

When you think about it, why do we typically want to change other people?

To suit our needs, our lives, our morals, the way we operate on a day-to-day basis.

Take my ex-narcissistic girlfriend for example, who from the get-go I wanted to change!

I did not like her attitude, her arrogance, entitlement, laziness, and so on.

I wanted to improve her, inspire her to be better, bring her up rather than down.

What that basically meant in quite simple terms was “I could not accept her as what she was, which was a toxic woman that was NOT right for me romantically.”

Maybe as a distant friend or a person I know of, I could tolerate her.

But as a serious girlfriend, who may one day end up being my wife or mother of my kids?

Absolutely not.

Because she was toxic, we were NOT a good fit, and it was a disaster of a relationship.

I also thought back recently to my friend who was a drug addict just the other day.

I realized, despite my wanting to help, it was selfish of me to do so.

Because you cannot help those who do NOT want to be helped.

He was comfortable with his life, the drugs, his addiction, although he was certainly not happy.

You will NEVER meet a happy addict, take it from me.

So, I preached the better life, a sober life, which he refused and said no to.

But again, that was selfish of me to do so, as I thought he could do better, and he was perfectly happy doing it the way he was.

It is sad, but what can you do.

At the end of the day, we want people to change sometimes to suit us.

That is not how the world works.

It is better to focus on finding likeminded and genuine people who want the best for you instead.

It is selfish to keep trying to change others.

Why You Should Stop Seeking Approval from Others

This post is about why you should stop seeking approval from others.

I will explain why you stop seeking validation from others around you in your life.

What does it mean to seek approval?

It is basically going above and beyond for other people’s acceptance, attention, and validation.

There is an array of people who we seek approval from, such as our parents and family, friends, dates, and even strangers online.

I remember when I had social media (I deleted it now), and every single photo, or post I would make, I would carefully monitor the likes.

In my mind I would think, “has so and so liked, or commented,” and like an addict I would be so attached to my phone.

Funny considering social media did not exist over a decade ago, and yet now it has become so engrained in our lives.

Then we often seek the validation and approval in a different way when it comes to parents, especially if they are narcissistic.

I will always stand by my statement, you can never ever please those who never want to be satisfied in the first place.

You could win the Nobel prize, go to space, cure a disease, but if your parents are narcissistic, good luck getting approval from them.

Do not get me started on friends, who we think are “cool”, because they have good genetics, born into money, or are considerably “popular.”

We would risk humiliating ourselves and changing our personalities just to get an invitation to a party full of jerks.

And yes, when it comes to dating, especially in the early stages we want that approval so badly, to feel loved and accepted.

But as someone who dated a toxic person for several years, that approval and validation may never come your way at all.

Maybe we seek approval from others as it was drummed into us by our parents, “never say this or that, make sure people like you!”

And at school if we do not want to be alone or seem weird, we go against our morals just to get a seat at the “cool” table.

And worst of them all we settle for a person who never has our best interests at heart and has ulterior toxic motives.

I wrote this post with the intense purpose to stop caring about what people think, and to stop putting them on a pedestal.

Seek your own love, your own interests, your own life.

#1 – Regain Control of Your Life

The first reason you should stop seeking approval from others is so you can immediately regain control of your life.

Now that seems like a very bold and profound statement but let me explain exactly what I mean.

Was it your choice with the people you socialize with?

Or did you feel you were missing out or were somehow pressured to see these people.

Was it your choice what college or university degree you graduated in?

Or was it those of your pushy parents, bullying you to study something you hate.

Was it your choice for the person you are dating or married too?

Or again was it your parents, friends, or the influence of the media.

I have a friend who was a top surgeon, he worked all hours, had a lovely wife, two children and was a good guy.

Until one day, he just snapped, he had to go home from work, and he started evaluating his entire life.

“What am I doing?” he kept asking himself repeatedly.

His parents were old fashioned, extremely strict, and controlled him well into his 40s.

They found him his wife, (which he was lucky for as they are great together), by organizing an arranged marriage.

They forced him into medicine as a degree, and even picked his university for him.

They forced him to buy a house over the road from them, as they were nearby.

They forced him to work in a specific hospital and undertake a job as a surgeon.

He admitted to himself, “my entire life, everything has been so I can seek the approval of my parents.”

Granted he was no deadbeat; he had a great and successful life.

But even so, he was unhappy, and he wanted to make a change.

“Everything I have ever done, was to make my parents accept me for who I am.”

His parents were nice people, just controlling.

He sat them down and told them he was looking for a career change and he was going to move to a new area.

Disappointed, they realized they had to let their son do what was right for him.

Now he runs his own successful business, and he moved 100 miles away from his parents, and could not be happier.

“I stopped seeking their approval and regained control of my life!” he said, ecstatic.

Regain control of your life.

#2 – Freedom

Yes, the very moment you stop seeking the approval of other people, you are completely free, and it is a liberating feeling.

Why is it so freeing when you stop seeking approval?

Well, when I once upon a time had a personal social media account, without realizing I had become addicted to the apps, and validation.

I would be at home bored, and always had this fear of missing out.

So, I would create an attention seeking post, just to “remind people” who I am, what I am doing and why I am doing it.

It did not stop there; the seeking of validation and attention took control.

I would be out with friends at a pub or bar, and I would share my location.

I would be eating an amazing meal, and there I would be snapping a photo.

Or I would be at a concert, or an event, live streaming the entire thing.

I was basically not allowing myself to enjoy my life, and even the simplest things, because I wanted attention from others.

I wanted women I fancied to see what I was doing.

I wanted family and friends to see how happy I was.

I wanted to gain NEW followers aka strangers to look at my life and start to like and share.

Ever since realizing how toxic and narcissistic social media is, in 2020 after the pandemic started, I deleted all personal accounts.

And I cannot stress to you how freeing that was for me.

Now when I was doing things in life, I never had a need to share it.

Or even take videos or photos of the great things I was doing etc.

I was doing one simple thing; I was living my life to the fullest.

This does not need to be applied to just social media but all aspects of approval seeking behaviour that we convey.

Perhaps we will be free to pursue a job or business we want to do, and not what is cool, safe or what our parents want us to do.

Maybe we can enjoy the music, food, and lifestyle we want, and not what is socially acceptable, or hip.

Maybe we can dress how we like, love ourselves for who we really are, and not what society or others dictate to us.

The options are endless.

But the freedom is priceless.

You cannot begin to imagine how good the freedom feeling is.

#3 – Happiness

Yes, I and many others are so much happier because we stopped seeking validation and approval from others.

Why is that the case?

Because you stop trying to make other people happy, and you start making yourself the priority, with your wants and needs.

Think back to the surgeon who quit and started his own business right at the very beginning of this post.

What was his wants and needs for his life?

Well for starters he wanted to pursue a career he was passionate about, he did not really want to be a surgeon, he wanted to work for himself.

Next, he loved his parents, but they were too controlling, so he decided to move far away from them, and their relationship has never been better.

When you start taking control of your life and stop the seeking of validation and just be yourself and do you, happiness follows.

For me personally, I grew up trying to please people, seek attention and validation for an awfully long time.

Enough was enough when I walked away from my ex-narcissist.

I fell out with friends, as I only wanted genuine people who cared, not those who wanted me to jump through hoops.

I fell out with family, who again were selfish and entitled, and only wanted what was best for themselves not me.

And I just put all the emphasis and focus on myself, and how it should be.

The SCG SHOW YouTube channel is a prime example of not seeking approval.

Whilst likes and subscribers are great and all, I just say what I need to say, and either it gets viewed or it does not.

I really did this project for me, and those who really gain value from it.

And honestly, that makes me so happy.

Things to Be Patient On

This post is about things to be patient on,

There are three areas of your life you need to practice patience on.

Just recently I discovered just how impatient I am in many different areas of my overall life, and I did not like it.

I noticed that in my business, I was waiting for a client to get back to me regarding a huge opportunity for me, yet I was getting very anxious about it.

I noticed in my personal life that I was waiting for friends to get back to me regarding a trip that we wanted to arrange.

I also noticed in my dating life, a beautiful woman who I had a connection with told me regarding see me again that “I am busy but will let you know.”

Look, we all want results, we all want thing to fall onto our laps right now, but sadly that is not how life works.

I know what you are thinking because I have and still do the same:

“But I have waited my entire life for this opportunity in my business, job, or career, how much longer must I wait?”

“I am turning down other opportunities waiting on my friends, I might not be able to get the time off work, how much longer must I wait?”

“Surely giving them space will make them think I am not interested, and it may get them to back off, the longer I wait, the faster someone else dates them!”

There are all logical, and very practical steps and ways to think regarding waiting on an opportunity and waiting on people too.

But what you need to understand is things take time, no matter how long we have suffered, how hard we work, or how badly we want it.

I called up my mentor moaning to him about all the things and people I was waiting on, and he encouraged me to zoom out on everything.

“Look at what you have achieved so far, look at what you have done up until this point. There is not much more you can do. The ball is in their court now, the universe, God etc.”

As humans we are so bloody desperate for control, and we want to grab the bulls by the horns and take charge.

But just look at the pandemic, and how unpredictable life is, and how we can barely be in control of anything and especially anyone.

We need to be even more patient than we are.

We need to practice patience and gratitude, in the hope that it works out.

However, if all your eggs are in one basket, and you are lazy and feel entitled to the world by doing the bare minimum, this post does not apply to you unfortunately.

This applies to those who just are so desperate to catch a break in life.

These are the things to be patient on in life:

#1 – Your Goals

Never mind your age, what you have been through up until this point, your background, your beliefs etc, goals regardless of what they are take time.

And most goals are life changing and can have such a deep profound impact on your future.

But also, Rome was not built in a day, it was merely an idea in a person’s head, and look at what it is today.

Things take time, unfortunately and things that are worthwhile, beautiful, and potentially incredible will take even longer.

Let me use THE SCG SHOW as a perfect example of this, which is this very blog and a YouTube channel.

I run, edit, maintain the whole thing, every piece of content from a post to a video is recorded, written by me alone, it is a one-person operation.

When I started both back in 2019 only a few months before the pandemic hit the world, I did so with two intentions.

To grow my blog to over 100,000 monthly global organic visitors from zero.

To grow my YouTube channel from zero to over 1,000,000 subscribers.

I set myself a two-year time frame to see how far I could get, and if I were seeing any type of progress to keep it going.

The only logical and simple way to grow both (without spending a penny on advertising) would be to just keep creating content.

The average blog with that many visitors has over 700 posts with an average of 1000 words.

Therefore, I need write on average 700,000 words to have even a slither of a chance to gain that many organic visitors.

And the average YouTube channel with over 1,000,000 subscribers has over 3,600 videos on their channels.

At the point of me writing this, the blog currently has 414 posts, a total of 400,000 words.

And my YouTube channel has over 300 videos total.

Basically, judging by the statistics and weighing them up to my goals, I have a hell of a lot of work to do.

I should not get disheartened when I see low impressions or visitors, because I am nowhere near my target.

There is no such thing as overnight success.

Regardless of what you want to do in life, it is going to take a lot of blood, sweat and tears.

It will not happen immediately.

Be patient with your goals.

#2 – Your Love Life

I will give you a quote from one of my mentors regarding dating and relationships, “it takes one second to say, ‘I do,’ which may total a lifetime of misery and regret.”

Look I get it, the lockdowns and pandemic have been tough on millions of single people out there.

We all want company, we all want love, we all want intimacy and connection.

Just before the pandemic I had left a 3-year relationship with a narcissist, I had done the healing and I was ready to date again!

Only to find myself in a lockdown almost immediately, and then sadly losing my father tragically at the same time.

I have had a rough time, but I am sure others have as well or worse God forbid.

My point being is, we are all so bloody impatient with love.

But if you think back to that quote, “It only takes a second to say I do.”

Basically, what that means is, you can fall in love instantly, and it may be with the wrong person.

But because you are so desperate for love, to get married and so on, you may be barking up the wrong tree entirely.

I was not far away from ending up marrying my ex and thank god I did not!

And the driving force was behind that was I was impatient, I wanted to lock her down, tick that box of my life, to focus on other things.

This is the wrong approach to dating, love, and relationships.

Just last week I went on a fabulous date with a stunning woman who I assumed I had a real connection with too.

We agreed to meet again, but our schedules clashed to which she replied, “I am busy, but I will let you know.”

I had not heard from her since, and it was driving me wild, “what do I do, how can I get her back, etc.”

But then I thought, “it was just one date, she may come back and if she does, great, but if not, you know she was not right for you.”

If I had begged and pleaded for her to see me, I would be forcing something unnatural.

And then again, I would be in a relationship with a woman who was not so keen on me in the first place, or who possibly wanted to take it slow.

Who knows?

But we MUST practice patience with dating, regardless of how long we have been out of the game and so on.

It is far more attractive.

Be patient with your love life.

#3 – Your Finances

This is not financial advice, just financial opinion but you need to be more patient with how you handle, save, and invest your money.

Maybe it is just me, but thanks to social media, I have seen almost everybody believe they can get rich overnight.

“If I pour my life savings into Cryptocurrency, I will be a millionaire overnight.”

“I am going to start an ecommerce shop, watch the money pour in!”

“I will go to the casino and put it all on red!”

“I will win the lottery, and suddenly all my debt will go away!”

No, the world does not work like that, nor does money.

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS GET RICH QUICK, TRUST ME ON THIS.

I was once a gambling addict who wasted years and lost loads of money trying to chase a quick buck, a fast turnaround in money.

Slow and steady always wins the race.

The investor who holds and dollar cost averages in stocks etc, becomes rich.

The person who starts a shop and gradually builds up a client base.

The person who DOES not go to gamble or buys lottery tickets is far richer.

Ignore the influencers and the bullshit narrative being told to you that “I make six figures a month and I am 18.”

It is all a lie, a scam and so on.

The patient, strategic and careful we are with our money, the richer and better you will become.

Not to mention less stressed and happier too.

Be patient with your money.
