I have now been a member of the Enemes Crypto Academy for almost two years.
In this short time, I have grown a small portfolio into a Whale Portfolio.
I think it has become time for a little “Stocktaking”.
Some people may be offended by this message, BUT I simply have to get this off my chest – FOR THE BETTERMENT OF THE ENEMES FAMILY AND YOUR SUCCESS….
You see, I have been writing many useful, in most cases VERY EDUCATIONAL articles in Skool over the recent months.
And guess what? very little engagement.
My apologies to those members who have interacted – many even sending my private messages – you know who you are and thank you for the kind words and encouragement.
And guess what? – those individuals happen to be the members who “Get it”.
They understand that at times the journey can become tough.
They understand that the journey can be arduous and almost lonely as they patiently wait for their portfolio to grow.
Human nature is a very strange thing.
We are inherently impatient, lazy and ill-disciplined (and that includes me).
Everyone bemoans their financial predicament and how expensive and tough life is.
Yet, when you feed them with the recipe to success, they pay little (if any) attention to these valuable lessons.
When anything looks remotely like “Work”, they prefer to remain in their perceived comfort zone, not willing to tighten their belts being worried what their friends and family will think of them if they don’t want to party the night away, often.
And guess what? – that perceived comfort zone is KILLING THEIR DREAMS…
They are the ones who would rather drive that flashy car and pay an exorbitant instalment which causes a strop around their necks.
A strop so tight, they’re almost hanging themselves (in debt).
They are the ones who simply have to wear designer clothes, no matter the cost and sacrifice.
They are the ones with multiple clothing accounts, let alone credit card debt.
They are the ones who simply must have the latest iPhone (not that I have anything against owning an iPhone).
They are the ones who live on fast food or out of fancy restaurants instead of eating wholesome home-cooked meals.
And guess what? All this to impress friends, family and colleagues – trying desperately to keep up with the Jones’s….
Now let’s look at those who “Get it”.
They have a plan and live to a budget.
They are the ones who are either already out of debt or have a solid plan on how to get themselves out of debt.
They are the ones who live below their income.
They are the ones who Save and Invest.
They are the ones already building their own Whale Portfolio.
And guess what? They are the TRUE WINNERS in the Money Game.
Some of them may only be on Chapter 3 of their book on Financial Freedom while others may be on Chapter 15.
No matter what Chapter they find themselves on, they have started the journey to Financial Freedom.
The only difference between a small portfolio and a Whale Portfolio is TIME.
Patience, Discipline, Perseverance, Determination and Consistency comes to mind.
They are the ones who don’t care what others think of their car, their clothes, the fact that they don’t party regularly with deadbeat friends and family.
They, my Friends, are the TRUE WINNERS in the Money Game.
Stay the course, stay Patient, stay Disciplined, Persevere, remain Determined and be Consistent and Focused in all you do.
In short, be INTENTIONAL in all you do – with only one goal (for now), that of Financial Freedom….
My apologies to those I may have offended with this hard-hitting post – a true punch in the belly for many, it will either inspire you and make you dislike me.
My intention will always be to add value to this Great Family by sharing valuable advice and tips of what has worked for me over the years.
It is NOT Rocket Science, BUT you have to get off your butt and take RESPONSIBILITY AND ACTION.
And guess what? When you reach Financial Freedom, they will be the ones to say: "𝑩𝒖𝒕, 𝒉𝒆/𝒔𝒉𝒆 𝒘𝒂𝒔 𝒍𝒖𝒄𝒌𝒚".
Now, go ahead and make 2025 your best year ever!
