I really like the Joe Rogan podcast because Rogan cuts through all of the noise together with his clear language and customary sense logic. You can learn loads just by listening to his podcast.
Some of the things I learned from the Rogan podcast align with quite a lot of my Rich Habits research.
Here are a few of the topics he covered that align with my research:
1. You are hooked on quick gratification
The wealthy are playing the long game. My research shows that 76% of millionaires spend at the very least half-hour a day planning their goals, while only 7% of poor people do the identical. Poor persons are on the lookout for quick dopamine hits – they spend hours scrolling through X, binge-watching TV shows, or buying things they do not need.
Does this sound familiar?
Every time you select Netflix over learning a brand new skill or buying that shiny device on impulse, you are trading your future for a fleeting high.
Joe Rogan talks about this on a regular basis: Discipline is freedom. Millionaires aren’t any smarter; They are simply willing to delay gratification. Try this: Swap an hour of social media for reading a book about investing. It’s not sexy, however it’s a start.
2. You spend time with losers
Harsh? Perhaps. But your social environment shapes your wallet. My studies found that 86% of rich people surround themselves with success-oriented colleagues – mentors, entrepreneurs or doers. Meanwhile, 96% of poor people stick with friends who reinforce bad habits: complaining, overspending, or daydreaming about doing nothing.
If your pals are all the time broke, all the time negative, or all the time “waiting for the right moment,” they’re dragging you down. Jordan Peterson made this point in his interview with Joe Rogan: You are the common of the five people you spend essentially the most time with. Audit your crew. Do they push you to achieve the next level or are they anchors?
3. They consider that training ends with graduation
The rigged system sold you a lie: Get a level, get a job, get wealthy. Incorrect. My research shows that 88% of millionaires engage in every day self-education – reading, podcasts, or courses – while only 26% of poor people did. The wealthy don’t depend on a diploma; They are obsessive about learning skills that repay. Rogan is all the time thinking about learning latest things and expanding your knowledge. He is always exploring latest ideas, from psychedelics to fitness. If you do not learn something latest day by day, you will fall behind. Get a book like Rich Habits or The Millionaire Next Door or take heed to a financial podcast. Knowledge builds faster than interest.
4. You are allergic to risks
Here’s a statistic that may wake you up: 65% of millionaires in my study took calculated risks—like starting a side hustle or investing early—while only 11% of the poor did so. Poor people play it protected, cling to dead-end jobs or avoid the stock market because “it’s too risky.” Newsflash: Feeling comfortable is the largest risk.
Rogan has spoken to people like Elon Musk about this – wealth comes from moving into the unknown. You do not have to bet your savings, but start small: invest $100 in a low-cost index fund or apply for a contract job. Risk builds resilience, and resilience creates prosperity.
5. You’re wasting your morning
Morning sets the tone to your life. My data shows that 70% of millionaires rise up at the very least three hours before work to exercise, plan or study, while only 3% of the poor do. If you allow it to the last second to hit the snooze button, scroll the X over your coffee, or rush out the door, you will start your day in chaos.
Rogan is an actual looker on this regard – he gets up early, goes to the sauna or works out to get his mind on the fitting track. Try getting up half-hour earlier for every week. Use this time to record your goals or go to the gym. Small changes result in big successes.
The brutal truth
Here’s the kicker: My Research shows that wealthy and poor usually are not that different when it comes to intelligence and opportunities. The difference is what they do day by day. The poor waste time, avoid risks, and surround themselves with negativity.
The wealthy? They grind, learn and select their circle correctly. It’s not fair and it’s hard to take heed to. But for those who’re stuck, it isn’t the economy or your boss’s fault, it is your fault.
Don’t you want that? Good. Let it upset you adequate to vary. Start with a habit: reduce an hour of screen time, read 10 pages of a financial book, or ditch that one friend who always whines or creates havoc in your life.
Wealth is not any secret; it’s a alternative.
Stop selecting poverty or mediocrity?
