How to build generational wealth: What The Rich Know That The Poor Don’t.

I discovered this by accident, by observing a lot of rich people. There is a pattern, there's a path to wealth creation, and you can use this video to know exactly where you find yourself. This is a paradigm shift. Once you see it, you will not be able to unsee it. How often do you hear people say this? That the reason why a lot of young people will not get to achieve their dreams is because of our need for validation, because we need to be admired by other people. Everybody likes validation; it's my biggest weakness. I mean, I care what people think about me. But your need for validation is not a weakness, it's a strength. And rich people have understood this for years. Rich people have understood how to tap into this dimension of self.

How exactly do you do that? Instead of seeking validation and respect from the personal assets that you have, like your car, your phone, your house, seek validation instead from the business assets you have, your growth in your business, your growth in your job, your investments. Rich people display their investments and hide their personal assets. Poor people hide their investments and display their personal assets. Don't take my word for it, put it to the test. There is a reason why Mark Zuckerberg is always wearing a t-shirt, but every single time that he creates a business, that he makes an investment, he's tweeting about it, he's talking about it, he's saying a lot of things about it. There is a reason why you don't know how many houses Dangote has, but every single investment that he makes, he's granting interviews, he's talking about it. You'd be wrong, disappointed even, to think that these people are in it for money. Dangote is alright, but his self, his sense of self, his sense of accomplishment, his validation is linked to the growth of his business. Do you know how much a billion dollars is? If Dangote spent five thousand dollars every day of his life, it would take him 500 years to get you a billion dollars, and he has 14 billion dollars. He's not in it for money. He doesn't care about money. Recently, he did an interview where they asked him what advice he has for the youth of Africa. And he said that his advice for the youth of Africa is that they should be humble. When I saw it, I put my hands on my head, and I said, this is very good advice, but a lot of people are going to misunderstand it. When Dangote says that you should be humble, he's giving you life advice, not business advice.

Listen to me, there is no humility in business. Your humility in business, I'm sorry, but your humility in business is the reason why you are going to be stuck in poverty for a very long time. Instead of buying the most beautiful car in the community so that everybody, you can have the respect of everyone, buy five taxis, but make sure that everyone in the community hears about it in the name of marketing. We know that you are bragging, all right, but your great-grandkids are going to thank you for it. This is the only game that you can win because when you seek validation from the things that you personally own, you cannot own everything in the world because you are going to need a source of income to be able to buy those personal things. But if you seek validation from the things that bring you revenue, you are going to have more revenue, and it is the only game that you can win. Strategic bragging, when you brag differently, you are going to get ahead of everyone.

My name is Adnan Saani; I call myself Dangotey. If you have liked this video, kindly share it. If it has given you value, kindly share it with your loved ones. There's a wave of financial literacy that is hitting the continent. By all means, join my community. It is going to take a long time. It is going to take five years, maybe 10 years, but by the grace of God, we are going to get to the destination. Thank you, everyone.
