Give Me 3 Minutes and I will Make You Filthy Rich
That’s right. This article is going to make you filthy rich.
Not just rich in money,
but in health, relationships, freedom, and purpose.
It took me over ten years to realize what I’ll tell you in three minutes.
So buckle up, listen closely, and most importantly,
apply these lessons to your own life.
Because it may just change everything.
Lesson 1: Don’t Focus on Being Happy
I know what you’re thinking, but hear me out.
As a young adult, happiness is not what you should focus on.
You’re in your prime, so you shouldn’t waste these years
chasing surface-level pleasure and comfort.
You should instead optimize for purpose.
True happiness will come naturally
because it’s a byproduct of living with purpose.
Your focus should be on becoming the best version of yourself
through building skills, discipline, wealth, courage, grit,
and mastery in your craft.
Lesson 2: Money Matters
Money matters a lot—more than people like to admit.
Many people see money as a dirty word,
or they like to pretend it doesn’t matter, citing that classic quote:
“Money doesn’t buy happiness.”
The thing is, money is freedom.
Try being happy when you’re trapped doing a job you hate,
with no time to spend with your family or friends,
or to pursue the things you actually enjoy doing.
Money buys back your time. It buys choices.
It buys the chance to do what you love with the people you love.
So don’t listen to what they say.
Go start that business
or pursue that side hustle you’ve been pushing off.
Work your ass off and stack as much money as you can so that you
can buy back the freedom to live life on your terms for years to come.
Lesson 3: Health is King
If you’re out of shape, it’s your fault.
Your body is simply a reflection of your standards.
You weren’t born fat or skinny.
So fix your diet, move every day, and sleep like it matters.
What you put into your body shows up in everything you do.
Garbage food equals garbage focus. And it’s not just food.
The content you consume, the books you read,
the people you listen to—all of it programs your output.
Remember that your output is only as strong as your input.
Look after yourself.
Lesson 4: Hard Work Won’t Make You Wealthy
Every great endeavor starts with sweat and sacrifice,
but hard work alone is not enough.
Don’t build yourself a prison. The real key is leverage.
In today’s world, leverage is everywhere.
There are a million ways to make money online, but choose wisely.
Don’t tie yourself to business models with massive overheads
and endless moving parts.
Look for high margins, scalability,
and as few unnecessary headaches as possible.
Lesson 5: Freedom First, Then Passion
Everyone says follow your passion. That’s a trap.
If you chase passion too early,
you’ll end up broke or worse—you’ll start turning the thing you love
into something you resent just to survive.
Build freedom first.
Financial stability, time leverage, and the space to actually breathe.
Once you have that foundation,
passion becomes a choice, not a burden.
You can pursue it fully and enjoy it without compromise.
Lesson 6: Some People Expire
In life, there are people you grow with
and people you grow apart from.
Not everyone is meant to stay for the whole journey, and that’s okay.
The right people elevate you, challenge you, and bring out your best.
The wrong people hold you back, drain you,
or keep you stuck where you were.
Your job isn’t to chase or cling; it’s to keep growing
and to trust that the right ones will grow with you.
Lesson 7: Volume Negates Luck
As Alex Hormozi says, people love to point to success and call it luck.
But luck only shows up when you create enough volume.
The more you do, the more lucky breaks you’ll seem to have.
But it’s not luck, it’s simply math.
Nothing great happens overnight.
You’ll fail, you’ll get frustrated,
and there will be times you feel like nothing is working.
That’s normal. Progress compounds quietly and then all at once.
Most people quit just before things start to click.
You won’t, though.
Stay consistent, keep learning, and trust the process.
