If you want to build a life you’re proud of, this is your best opportunity. The powerful secrets we’ll share in this article will not only get you rich sooner, but also improve your overall quality of life.
Think of this article as your Misogi ritual.
For those of you who haven’t heard of this yet, the notion around the misogi is, you do something so hard 1 time a year, that has an impact on the other 364 days of the year.
It has its roots in traveling a long distance and standing underneath an icy waterfall until everything you have to do becomes clear.
So let’s jump right in and discover the 15 Powerful Secrets to Get Rich Sooner!
Don’t worry if you don’t feel like reading, you can enjoy the video below or watch it on YouTube:
1
Secret #1 – Don’t help anyone, help yourself!
This is counterintuitive to what everyone else is preaching, but everyone who built anything was selfish in their first few years.
This early, you don’t have enough resources to share so you have to use every single drop to further yourself. You haven’t learned how to swim yet, so don’t go out there trying to save people from drowning left and right.
Don’t help anyone. Get your hands on enough fuel to jumpstart your life and you’ll figure everything out later.
Once you arrive, show them how you got there. But until you find some breathing room it’s everyone for themselves!

Secret #2 – Don’t tell anyone, work when no one is looking
They don’t have to know. Their opinion is irrelevant.
Unless they’ve successfully done exactly what you plan on doing, they don’t need to know because there’s no advice they can give that has true value for you.
This is your journey, your vision, your dream.
You wouldn’t have a desire or a dream unless it was within your power to make it real!
So don’t dilute the dream, keep it for yourself and to yourself.
If you want to get rich sooner, you need to understand why this is such a powerful secret.
Because sharing it with others might trick your brain into behaving like the work has been already done. Moreover, you will lose the hunger to actually go after it.
This is why you know people who’ve been telling you for the past 5 years about the business they will start next week.

Secret #3 – You’ve learned enough, now do
Let’s get this straight: unless we’re talking about practical step-by-step tutorials, everything else is entertainment.
This article you’re reading right now only has value only if, after you’re finished reading, something gets done.
If you’re one of those people who keep going through these kinds of value-packed articles without putting anything into practice, at least be true to yourself.
You’re disguising entertainment as education.
At the state you’re at right now, you’ll actually learn more by doing than by consuming, so shift the ratio. This is how this powerful secret will get you rich sooner!
Instead of 80 or 90% consumption and only 10% doing, spend 90% of your time toying with the practicalities of your business or craft.
You’re smart enough to know that the growth you’re looking for is hidden in consistency.

Secret #4 – You don’t get what you deserve, you get what you conquer
Life is never going to be fair, especially to people like us, who don’t start as high up on the mountain as others. But the peak is something you have to conquer on your own.
Success waits on the other side of you conquering the situation you start with!
One of the most powerful lessons we’ve learned comes from the only billionaire comedian: Seinfeld, who put it beautifully when he said:
Your blessings in life will come to you once you find the torture you’re comfortable with!
Think about it for as long as you need to find your torture, once you do find it and accept it as the torture you will put up with for the rest of your life. Because you know that if you keep at it it will take you to the promised land.

Secret #5 – Make yourself rich first, then figure out everything else
Everyone wants to be everything all at once all the time. – yeah… We just referenced the movie.
They wanna get in shape, travel the world, have a hot partner, read books, write a book, write a movie, spend time with friends, build a business, and do charity work. You know the rest, you’re probably thinking about it right now.
The reason why you should follow the money first is: Getting rich first allows you to do the rest of them in peace!
It’s hard to give it your all on anything else if you don’t know how you’re gonna pay rent.
And while finding peace is a worthwhile pursuit, the road to wealth actually comes with a roadmap that’s quite easy to follow.
It will take you less time to get rich than it will to find peace, so might as well get it over with. This is why for the first year in the Alux app, we prioritize your finances.
Once you double or triple your income you open up time and resources to go after everything else. This powerful secret helped our users get rich so much sooner.
Download the app, and go through the “Principles of building wealth” pack by either buying it or getting a subscription.
That’s the straightforward recipe to building wealth condensed and explained so everyone can understand. Time to escape mediocrity

Secret #6 – Do it yourself before you ask for help
Some of you aren’t making any progress because you’re waiting for someone else to open up the door for you and in some cases even carry you inside.
Some of you have been postponing a couple of tasks for over 6 months now which if you really sat down and focused on, you’d be done within 15 to 20 minutes.
You will learn nothing from this.
The value in doing the work yourself is that it allows you to speak the language.
You know what to ask for; you know what worked and how you got there. Especially in your early days, you have to be the one doing everything.

Secret #7 – Disappear for 6 months and work on only 1 thing
This might be a secret anymore, but it’s nevertheless powerful and it gets you rich so much sooner. People on the internet laugh at this phrase because it more recently became popular with under-20-year-old hustlers.
Don’t worry, we’re glad you found self-help, just… don’t forget to actually help yourselves.
If your life isn’t what it should be, what’s a 6-month commitment?
When we were building Ealuxe.com, our first publishing business which we eventually scaled to 7 figures, we literally locked ourselves in a room with a laptop writing 3 articles per day for 6 months before things started to kick off.
These were summer months when all our acquaintances were out on some beach paid for by their parents.
We did it because we didn’t come from money and we wanted to level the F up.
Sure it felt lonely, but here’s what we want you to take away from this: Loneliness is a tax you have to pay to access your next state of being.
Some people are so scared of bothering or outshining others, they sacrifice their own potential for mediocrity.
Would you be ok with living like this for the rest of your life? If not, here’s what we want you to do:
Think of yourself as dead. This has been your life so far, that life is over. Now wake up and live what’s left properly!

Secret #8 – Launch it ugly
The problem is people compare their first step with the last step of others and the gap is huge.
One of the lessons we’ve learned from YCombinator which has become a staple in the industry is: If you’re not embarrassed by the first version of your product, you launched too late!
Just put it out and see what happens. Improve upon it as you can.
Not sure if you’ve ever done this, but you can literally go on our channel, click videos, and sort by OLDEST.
Our first video on YouTube is a slideshow of the most expensive restaurants in Dubai uploaded 9 years ago.
It’s not pretty, it’s not fancy, but we were toying with the idea of transitioning from articles to video and it didn’t take us long to figure out ways to improve.
So launch it now and build it in public!

Every time you feel like quitting, picture your haters laughing at you
That should keep you motivated. This powerful image is the secret that will get you motivated enough to get rich sooner.
You have some people you have to prove wrong, don’t you?! Good act as if they’re watching!
Outside of your haters, you’ll have your family and friends, who although they mean well, might actually have the opposite effect.
The thing is: The rarer you are the rare are the people who are able to see what you see…
It’s hard to find people like you. They used to laugh when we told them we would be multi-millionaires by 30 and then we did it.
Once you do, you’re faced with the other dilemma: The greater your success the fewer the people you will be able to share your success with.
There aren’t that many people interested in what you’re doing.
There are even fewer that were able to be successful at it. Eventually, you’ll get to know everyone.

Feeling stuck is a signal that you’ve stopped growing
You heard that right!
There’s actually a split here: If you have too many things to do and don’t know which you should do first, what you’re feeling is ANXIETY.
If you don’t know what to do… What you’re feeling is sadness or being stuck.
The great news is, you can stop being sad, by figuring out what would be the first step for you to take towards your big goal.
Read books, watch videos where people share their personal insights like this one, or even better get the damn Alux app!
It’s literally the only app specifically designed to help you accelerate the speed of your progress and give you clear and actionable steps to move forward.
Your life is cheap because you think investing in yourself is expensive! Allow us to help you resume growth. Get the Alux app!

Stop lying to yourself or to other people
Just because you don’t say it out loud doesn’t mean it isn’t there.
The more you avoid the truth the bigger its impact will be.
The powerful secret that will get you rich sooner is that inconvenient truths are better than pleasant delusions.
You need people to call you out on your bullshit! To tell you to get your shit together.
In our experience, more often than not, that person ends up being yourself! Look yourself in the mirror, and tell the truth so you know.
Be careful around people who claim to be helping but are actually just putting you down.
Some People who claim to be ‘brutally honest’ are more interested in being brutal than in being honest, learning to differentiate between them is a pretty valuable skill.

Don’t aim to be the best, aim to be yourself
Everyone wants to be the best, right?.. What a terrible way to live.
There’s only 1 best and everyone who isn’t the best is technically a loser if you wanna go with that binary – so statistically, you can give it your all and go after it every day only to realize you’re still a loser.
What if we told you there is actually only one way where you’re the absolute winner and nobody can compete with you if only you chose to play a different game?
Instead of competing at their game, go all in on yourself. Get good at the YOU game.
Figure yourself out. Do everything your own way. Nobody can be a better you than you are.
We learned this by paying close attention to Miles Davis. He once said: “It took me years to play like myself.”
Years to play like myself… how powerful is that?
It will take years for you to find your voice, to find your path and once you do you will be “un-compatible-with”.
Nobody in the world is better at being Joe Rogan than Joe Rogan is and now everyone is trying. Nobody in the world is better at being Rick Rubin than Rick Rubin is.
Everyone you look up to who is worthy of adulation has actually figured this out.
It took a long time, but once they figured out how to play like themselves, it was over… because nobody could compete.
Once you get this powerful secret right, you’ll get rich sooner than you’ve ever thought.

Zoomed in your life is a tragedy, zoomed out it’s a comedy
Zoomed-in life might be moving too slowly but if you zoom out you’ll realize you’ve actually made quite a lot of progress.
Zoomed in you might be angry at your partner for something they did, zoom out and you realize just how much you actually love them and how big of an impact they’ve had on you.
Learn to adjust your lens as life progresses, it’s a phenomenal exercise to keep yourself in check.
Speaking of checks…

Move one piece at a time, don’t try to jump steps
Many of you live with this idea that you know exactly what needs to happen and success is a linear journey from where you are… hilarious.
Not only is it arrogant, but it’s a terrible strategy thinking you have it all figured out.
It’s like you would sit at a chess match and announce all the moves you plan to make ahead of the game.
It takes one different move from your adversary and your entire string of moves becomes irrelevant.
That’s why smart people play chess and they play life like it’s a chess game. You move one piece and see what life does… how did life respond to your move?
Along the way, you keep your eye on the board of life and make adjustments to your strategy as life moves on its turn.
As with everything in life, there more you play the better you are at the game, which is why they say: Freedom is on the other side of discipline!

You no longer fight with others, you are now focused on your sh*t
Have you ever seen anyone happy with their lives start a fight? Of course, you haven’t.
Angry, poor, and miserable people start fights as a way to deal with whatever horrible thing is happening in their lives.
The moment you start to prosper, the moment you focus on growth, you realize your energy is better spent elsewhere. People are energy vampires.
They think the only way to get rid of the smell of sh*t is to rub it onto you. So let them keep it, you don’t want anything to do with it.
As you’re reading this, you immediately think of someone who does this, who just wants to argue instead of actually dealing with their problems.
Bonus
Big goals take time, brace yourself for it will be a long journey
Whatever small goal you have in life right now, if you’re obsessed with it you will inevitably attain it.
And then you’re faced with something we’re dealing with right now: Do I stay here or do I go for some bigger goal?!
If you love the game – and you wouldn’t watch these videos if you didn’t – you will set bigger and bigger goals for yourself for you will eventually find purpose in growth.
The realization happens when it becomes clear just how big some goals are:
Even though we started from 0, for us, getting to our first million was a lot easier than getting to $100 million has proven to be.
You can get to 1 million with a small team that shares your hunger and brute force hard work, but 100 million requires more complex mechanics.
This puts into perspective our goal of getting to a billion. There are only 2640 billionaires in the world, out of 8 billion people.
That’s why most of them look like Warren Buffett or Soros. It takes time for all the compounding to work. Very few of them get to a billy in their 30s.
The Alux app has the potential to completely change education as we know it and if executed right we believe we have a shot at making this a billion-dollar company – and the investment banks we met with last month also think we have a shot.
But we might need to start charging what the App is worth, so get yourself a yearly subscription for $99 now, before the next pricing update comes into effect and things get a lot more expensive.
This heads-up is our way of saying thank you! Towards the end of July or early August, version 2.0 is coming and it’s gonna be a game changer!
These are the 15 powerful secrets to get rich sooner. Now you have the minimum required knowledge to get off your ass and start doing and the proper resources to level up. Good luck and see you next time!
