There are people watching this video
right now who will be wealthy in 10
years. They don't know it yet, but the
signs are already there. The number one
on this list shows up years before the
money does, yet most people miss it.
Here are 15 signs you are going to be
rich. Welcome to Alux, the place where
future billionaires come to get
inspired. Number 15, you're curious
about how rich people got rich. Most
people study rich people's lifestyles,
but you study the mechanics of how they
got rich. What did they build that
allows them to live that lifestyle? You
don't hate the rich because you can
never become what you hate. Instead,
you're fascinated by how people build
wealth because you want to do the same.
You don't dismiss it as luck, and you
believe building wealth is possible. You
read biographies, watch interviews, and
see how others are able to build
something of value even when they
started with nothing. At first, you want
money because it solves money problems.
But eventually, you realize the deeper
prize is freedom. freedom over your
time, your location, your work, and who
gets access to your life. Our mind feeds
on what it consumes. If you consume
reality TV, don't be shocked if your
world is filled with drama. If you
consume financial content, don't be
surprised how you're able to spot
opportunities most people miss. A clear
sign that someone is going to be rich is
a combination of two things. First, they
have their interests aligned, meaning
they know where they're going. and two,
they have daily actions aligned with the
goal. Only broke people laugh at those
who try to better themselves. The fact
that you're watching this video just
proves that you are not like them.
Number 14, you're focused on increasing
income instead of lowering spending. You
can cut your way to survival, but you
have to earn your way to freedom.
There's a limit to how your lifestyle
spending can go, but you've discovered
that there's no limit to how much
someone can earn. So, this is your new
mantra. You just have to earn more
because you can't budget your way into a
penthouse or a Ferrari as long as there
are people out there buying supercars,
yachts, and $10 million plus homes. You
know, it's possible to earn that kind of
money, and you plan to do the same. The
goal is not to buy what rich people buy.
The goal is to own what pays for it and
then use that money to buy whatever you
want. If you want to score big, stop
playing defense and go on the offense.
But increasing income is still not the
final game. The final game is turning
income into ownership. High income makes
you comfortable. Ownership makes you
free.
Number 13. You're getting comfortable
having uncomfortable conversations.
Poor outcomes come from expensive
silence. If you don't ask, the answer by
default is no. So, you're getting good
at asking. You're getting good at
looking for options that move your life
forward. You're able to convince others
to follow your lead and help you build
things that are valuable. You're not
afraid to ask for money, and you are not
a people pleaser. If you don't set your
price or your terms, other people will
set them for you. Wealthy people
understand that your terms are part of
your wealth. The salary, the equity, the
upside, the downside, the ownership, the
exit, the time commitment. Bad terms can
make a good opportunity poor. Good terms
can make a small opportunity
life-changing. What's a conversation
that you've been avoiding that's quietly
costing you? Number 12. You think about
money as a game. Broke people think life
is a movie. Rich people treat it as a
game. Money is part of that game. There
are rules, resources, trades, and
skills. The better you are at playing
the game of money, the more money you
have. And like with most games, you
don't hate the game once you learn how
it's played and start having some fun.
One of the signs that you're going to be
rich is that you set financial goals for
yourself and you achieve them. Every
wealthy person looks at life through
this lens of what is the next milestone
I can get to. Number 11, you're
comfortable investing and betting on
yourself. The most valuable asset you
have is yourself. Nobody can take away
what you know and what you're able to
do. So, double down on yourself. You do
not want to be the underdeveloped
version of you. Poor people see
investing in yourself as a cost.
Spending money on books, courses,
mentors, events doesn't have an
immediate return. This is what separates
you from them. You're compounding your
understanding of how money works. The
money is already printed. You just don't
know how to get it yet. So, you get into
business for yourself because every
paycheck you got was proof that somebody
else figured out a way to monetize your
skills better. People who invest in
themselves report a 6 to8 times return
on investment in the first 24 months. An
executive coach charges $500 an hour.

new millionaires. And we've already
crossed the first 100. You could be
next. Number 10. You have a mentor or
follow people who are mentor-like.
Sometimes the biggest upgrade in your
life is not a new strategy. It's a new
voice in your head replacing the voice
that wants to keep you where you are. A
good mentor shows you that what you're
trying to do is possible because they
did it. And if they can do it, you can
do it, too. Study them, but don't
worship them. Listen to their advice
because chances are it might save you 10
years worth of mistakes. Most of you
don't have a network of mentors, but you
can read their books, watch their
interviews, or join apps like Alux where
you get mentorship from people who lived
what you are trying to get through.
Number nine, you started making money
early. The earlier you make money, the
more time you have to get good at making
money. Overnight success usually takes
about seven years. And because you
started early, time works in your favor.
You're learning quicker than your peers.
Getting comfortable with making money
while young makes you unemployable later
in life. If you think of yourself as
unemployable because you can't see
yourself working for anyone else, know
that you are on your way to wealth.
Number eight, you're careful about who
you spend your time with. Your income is
the average of the five people you spend
the most time with. You figured this out
earlier than most, so you stopped
talking money with people who only dream
about it. The people in your daily orbit
shape your standards, your vocabulary,
your sense of what's possible. You
didn't cut everybody off, but you became
intentional with it. You already started
segmenting people in your life based on
what your expectations are from that
relationship. You started seeking people
who were one or two levels ahead of you,
even if it meant being the dumbest guy
in the room. You've started to realize
they're not actually smarter. They've
just been playing the game longer than
you. Number seven, you're making small
investments or building proof. When you
join a gym, do you jump to the heaviest
weights? Of course not. You start off
with what you can lift. You do that at
your current level, and then as you
progress, you increase the weight. Broke
people think you need to be rich to
start investing. That's like saying,
"I'll go to the gym once I'm fit."
Notice how dumb that sounds? Most people
don't know how to invest because they
never bothered to open an investment
account. Sure, you're not going to
become a millionaire by investing $10 a
month, but it's a muscle that you keep
training. And as your income progresses,
the numbers scale with you. The world
doesn't reward what you intend to do. It
rewards what you can prove. Number six,
you know how much money you earn, spend,
and have in your account. People who
will be rich love metrics. They love to
measure things because you cannot
improve what you do not measure. So,
measure your money. Measure your net
worth. There's a free calculator at
alux.com/nw
if you've never calculated your net
worth before. Rich people do this
monthly or have an automated tool. As
you keep measuring it, you get a better
understanding of what moves it and in
which direction. that becomes your
internal benchmark that you compare
against. This is how you know if this
month was better than the one before it
and if you're trending upward.
Number five, you possess a sense of
urgency. Reading about it isn't doing
it. Planning isn't doing it. Talking
about it isn't doing it for you. So, you
start before you feel ready. The thing
doesn't get done if you don't actually
do the thing. We know, revolutionary,
right? But it's true. Doing it today
puts you ahead of every other person
planning to do it tomorrow. Another sign
that you'll be rich is the sense of
extreme urgency, sometimes even
artificially created about getting this
done in the shortest time possible. If
it takes you 6 months to do something
that would take you less than a day,
we're sorry to break it to you, but you
don't have what it takes. Number four,
deep down you know you're destined to be
rich. It's hard to explain it, but
you've always known that you're going to
be rich. It's just a matter of time
until your reality catches up with your
potential. Everybody rich is delusional
about this because it's part of the
equation of success. Self-confidence is
the cheat code. You've been programming
yourself to think this way. You know
that we don't get what we want, we get
what we are. You're a self-fulfilling
prophecy. So, we become what we tell
ourselves we should become. Never lose
sight of this. Number three, you're
optimistic and solutionoriented.
There is a saying in Silicon Valley,
pessimists sound smart while optimists
get rich. Optimism is not pretending
there are no problems. No, it's
believing problems can be priced,
solved, or turned into opportunity.
Nobody wants to be around someone who's
only ever thinking about the worst, who
says that nothing will work, who doesn't
want to try anything new. People who get
rich get called visionary because they
see a future employees cannot.
Number two, you never give up. Most
success is just keeping something going
for long enough and trying to make it
better. Eventually, something clicks.
The person who stays in the game longest
eventually meets luck more often. And
you only need to get lucky once for it
to change your life. It might take 5
years. It might take 20. But the chances
of things working out in your favor if
you never quit are quite high.
Persistence is an unfair advantage when
everything else gets served to us with a
tap of a button. Once you decide that
this is what you want to do with your
life, how can you quit after 6 months or
even 3 years? You said this is going to
be your life. You know that if this
works, your family is taken care of. And
you dare to say you quit?
Number one, you have the identity of
someone rich. Wealth shows up in
behavior before it shows up in the bank
account. It starts with not asking if
you can afford something, but how you
can afford it. The goal you set is not
achievable on purpose, but it's
directionally correct. Every no is a
data point. Every roadblock is just the
world trying to see how badly you really
want it. The biggest challenge early on
in your journey is to stop thinking and
seeing the world as a broke person and
looking at it through the lens of
someone for whom becoming rich is
inevitable. You become rich twice. First
in identity, then in reality. The bank
account is the lagging indicator.
Identity moves first. How many of these
15 signs have you seen in yourself? Let
us know in the comments. And since this
is a Sunday motivational video, here's
your bonus. The only truly wasted time
is time spent wishing. The only truly
wasted time in life is the time we spend
wishing ourselves elsewhere while life
quietly waits to be lived right where
you stand. It's wasted time wishing
ourselves to be someone else while life
gives us the opportunity to change right
now. You are under no obligation to be
the same person you were yesterday. This
is the golden nugget of this video. The
version of you that you desire doesn't
happen by accident. It's a product. It's
something you craft with effort and
intention. You build them. They don't
just manifest. For the true Aluxers
