Now what?

How am I going to take care of my family?

How am I going to take care of my mom?

I remember when I walked out of the job

that I was working at the time in a supermarket.

I was making minimum wage.

When I was walking home taking the sky train

that was the question that was thinking.

What am I supposed to do?

It's very nerve-racking, it's very frustrating,

and very depressing thinking about

how I'm going to pay rent, how am I going to eat,

and do I need to use my credit card

when I've already maxed out my credit card.

What am I going to do when I'm already in debt.

And over the years, even after that job,

and that was the only job

I'd ever had in my entire life, right,

running my own business, getting fired by clients,

sometimes even I do a good job, you know,

the clients sometimes they don't like what I did,

and getting laid off by clients,

and working with different people.

It's very frustrating

and I know maybe you are going through the same thing

that on the surface you wanna be calm, in control,

and collected. But deep inside it's nerve-racking.

You don't want to share that with your family.

Well, first of all, you're thinking it won't help.

Even you share, it just makes them worry too much

and you just don't feel like sharing.

You think you wanna take on this burden

and today I wanna give you some ideas

and some tips that can help you

and, over the years, what has helped me.

There are really three choices when you lost your job.

Number one, you can go back and get another job.

Maybe you kind of polish your resume, update your resume,

you send it onto these sites and talk to people

and hand out resumes and you try to find another job.

Sometimes, I've seen people. They got laid off

not because performance, it's because, sometimes,

the upper management made some bad decisions

or the industry trending downwards,

so there's a lot of downsizing.

Just recently I was reading an article,

Hong Kong Bank just be seen laying off

tens of thousands of people.

Right?

And Hong Kong Bank's got money.

But because of whatever structure that they have,

or they wanna cut back the overhead,

they laid off a lot of people.

May not be a fault of your own, right?

If you know what I'm talking about, comment below.

So, you could look for another job,

that's always a possibility.

And in some cases, maybe you can get the similar job

that pays you the same

or maybe, unfortunately, you might need to take on a job

that actually pays you less

or, in some cases, the skill that you have

is no longer relevant, then you couldn't even get a job.

It would take you months to do it.

That's one scenario.

Number two, you could start your own business.

Right

Some people, a lot of people, they think,

"Well, you know what I got laid off,

I'm gonna start my own business."

I always say the worst time to start a business

is when you have no money

because you can't help but make decisions

that may not be best for yourself

and the for company long-term because you're desperate.

You cannot make wise decisions when you're desperate.

Michael Gerber talks about that in his book, E Myth.

Now, what is the E Myth?

E Myth is the entrepreneur myth

and Michael talks about that most entrepreneurs

are actually not entrepreneurs.

They are employees suffering from an entrepreneurial seizure.

Right?

The employees that are thinking about,

"Hey, you know what that's something

that I could do better than that

or I can create a product, I can create a widget,

and I could go out there and start my own business."

But most of the time, almost all the time,

they don't have the business skills

or business acumen to make a business work.

So, that's not a very good reason to start a business.

Just like not everyone is supposed to play golf,

not everyone is supposed to be a basketball player.

You can play as a hobby,

but you can play business as a hobby.

But to be a professional,

business person, to be a successful entrepreneur.

That's a whole different story.

But there is an option, if that is what you want to do,

but knowing that it is going to be

very, very, very difficult.

It's gonna take years.

Businesses don't make money in months.

Businesses take years to make money.

So you have to ask yourself, are you prepared for that?

Right?

Are you ready for that?

Are you in a financially viable position to do that?

Or number three, you could develop a high income skill.

Now, what is a high income skill?

I define a high income skill

as a skillset that can make you $10,000 or more per month.

It is not a job.

It is a skillset.

It is something that you know, an expertise,

a skill that you have.

You could go to the marketplace in exchange for money.

It could be graphic designing if you're very, very good.

It could be website designing. It could be copyrighting.

It could be closing.

There's so many different high income skills

and some high income skills that I teach.

Why is high income skills so important?

Because high income skill gives you financial confidence

and financial confidence equals income at will.

Meaning you have the ability,

you have the capabilities to generate income at will.

Your income doesn't depend on the economy.

It doesn't depend on a company.

It doesn't depend on some investment.

It depends on the only person that you can count on.

Yourself.

That's income at will.

Doesn't matter where you are in the world.

You can work from anywhere in the world.

You can go into any industry

that you know you have the flexibility and the capability,

say," You know what, I could sell my skillset

and make money from that.

That's financial confidence

and that gives you peace of mind.

So, it doesn't matter, even though you made the money,

and sometimes in life that happens.

Crisis happens.

And you lose everything,

but you know with a high income skill,

you could be successful again

and get back in the game very, very quickly.

Can you see how important that is?

Why it's so vital for you to have that high income skill?

You could still look for that high income job,

but, in the mean time, what gives you true security

and peace of mind is that high income skill.

And that's what I've been focusing my whole life on,

honing my skillsets, developing my high income skills,

because I know everything else is an illusion.

A job is an illusion.

Even a business is an illusion.

What I could always count on is my skillsets.

I know the value that I could bring to the marketplace

in exchange of money and, at the end of the day,

that's what money is.

Money earned is a byproduct of value creation.

So, in order to make more money,

you got to deliver more value.

Now, I don't know you.

I don't know your situation.

I don't know what skillset that you should develop

because I get this question a lot.

"Dan, what high income skills I should pursue?"

Here's some of my student's stories

and the impact of having them

develop their high income skills.

Check this out.

- Today, I was talking with a client over the phone

and I closed almost $3000 deal.

I can't even explain to you the feeling right now.

I'm feeling pretty darn good.

All of this practice and hard work,

the commitments that I've made,

and everything is finally paying off.

Because I've been really immersing myself

in SiFu's teachings.

It's been going, man.

It's been going.

It's been getting better so much faster

than I was just doing it on my own.

He gives you all these nuggets through his,

all of his experience.

He saves you years.

Literally as soon as I finished closing one deal

another one comes up.

So, I thought that that was pretty darn amazing.

I'm on top of the world right now.

So, thank you SiFu Dan.

Thank you for everyone in the Facebook group

that's been so supportive for me.

I thank you for all your videos.

I've really enjoyed them

and part of my success is not just what I've done,

but it's what you guys have done.

And so, I really appreciate that

and I'm very grateful for you guys.

How are you doing today?

Today I just wanted share with you

that I've closed my second $18k packages.

Boom.
