Can you guess what the leading cause of death is?
It’s not HIV, it’s not Covid, it’s not accidents…
If I leave you to continue guessing, we might spend the whole day and you may still not guess right.
So let me just tell you.
It is STRESS.
Chronic stress is linked to six leading causes of death including heart disease, cancer, lung ailments, accidents, cirrhosis of the liver, and suicide, according to the American Psychological Association.
In 1923, over 100 years ago, the top five (5) causes of death were infectious-disease-related. In contrast, today, 4 of the 5 leading causes of death are stress-related.
You might be wondering why. Here’s the reason…
The fact is that most people spend their entire lives working jobs they don’t like for companies they don’t care about
Under such circumstances, anyone will be stressed to death, yet they don’t earn enough to make money a non-issue
They can’t take a decent vacation
They can’t splurge on things they like without feeling guilty or having to sacrifice other important things
Yet a few people hold a larger share of the money than the rest of the world
Seems unfair, but life’s not fair and instead of complaining, you should invest your efforts in figuring out how to move yourself to the other side of the statistic.
That’s the only reasonable way to overcome stress and enjoy your life
If you’re thinking of fighting the fact (capitalism)… forget it.
You’d have better chances of winning the lottery than killing a system that’s been in existence before your ancestors.
So what should you do?
Follow the same path those who are a part of the 1% have taken
You must open your eyes to observe
Everyone who has created massive wealth has bought into trends…
Bill Gates was at the forefront of the personal computer trend
Jeff Bezos followed the online commerce trend, and…
Zuckerberg jumped on the social media platform trend
I know these examples are outliers. Your chances of being the next Zuckerberg are slim.
But what is common is the fact that they jumped on trends early.
For example, thousands of others also made a fortune pursuing the same trends as Bezos, Zuck, and Gates.
And millions more who make their fortune from taking advantage of the opportunities the trends presented
For instance, Social media led to the rise of hugely profitable content creation ventures. A lot of YouTubers are millionaires
Amazon, through its KDP and FDA programs, has made many multi-millionaires
I am not going to go into details about these opportunities in this post because it will be too long, maybe in a later post.
But the point I am driving at is that the key to financial freedom is to buy into trends, and here is one looking you in the face:
Personal brand / Synthesizing – Currently, in my opinion, this is the quickest and easiest way to make money online while getting famous.
It doesn’t require you to invest tons of cash or have a big following, so it’s a level playing field for anyone.
A newbie can go from Zero to $10k/mo in a couple of months!
But it’s not always going to be this easy
The more people jump on the opportunity to grow their personal brands and synthesize, the more difficult it will be for others.
If you took my advice earlier, you may have observed already, that those who buy into the trends early take all the juices…
So you want to consider taking action right now before it’s too late.
If you are interested, I talk about this new opportunity in detail – HERE
Now, don’t forget this article is not about making money. It’s about staying healthy and living long by reducing stress
The irony is that you can’t reduce stress without making enough, so you never have to worry about money again.
I hope you’ve enjoyed this read.
P.S. This is the summary of everything we talked about:
The world today is a lot different from what it used to be about 100 years ago.
Then people died the most from infections-diseases.
Today, people die from stress-related illnesses more because of capitalism.
Where only a handful of people, hold 90% of all the money.
If you don’t earn enough, you will work very hard for peanuts.
Rich people don’t suffer the kind of stress the average (new poor) people go through
They hire enough hands to do all the tedious jobs for them
Even if they do it, it is not because they HAVE to but because they WANT to
They can choose to take relaxing holidays, get expert massages, and many treats that will break your bank
So their stress levels are very low.
You can join this small percentage of people, by increasing your income.
if you want to make more money, you need to jump on trends early.
The current trend is the Personal Brand trend.
Where you position yourself as someone worth following by providing value to a specific audience
The traditional way of doing it requires you to make a ton of content, post a lot, and spend money to boost posts, in extreme cases, some people dance on TikTok
But there’s a better way to do it.
One that doesn’t require you to post very often or do any of those demeaning things that don’t align with your personality and still make a shit ton of money while building a following: I talk about it HERE.
Make sure you read every single word on that page, and make sure you take action.
