4 Money Wisdoms I Learned from Shaan Puri

“Are you insane?!?”
“What if this doesn’t work?”
These thoughts spun through my mind as I considered plunking down $5000 that I (shh!) didn’t have.
Real quick — if you’d like to take your earning capabilities to the next level as an entrepreneur, solopreneur, or anything in between, this article’s for you.
Now, why was I battling some hesitation and self-doubt?
I’d just been laid off.
My wife was on maternity leave.
Our son was not yet 2.
(Oh, and, can’t forget a pandemic was barreling its way across the face of the planet.)
So yeah, you could say money was tight.
But, somehow I managed to smash the bright red EJECT button on those scarcity-fueled thoughts and make one of the best investments I’ve ever made:
A coaching program that catapulted me into a new world. The world of entrepreneurialism AND, more importantly, the world of abundance. With this investment, I’d proved to myself I was serious about the project of me, my education, and becoming the person I wanted to be.
In just 3 years, I’ve chosen over and over to operate from that mindset of abundance. And — I’ve been rewarded with a business that’s grown from 0 to now generating over $100,000 a month.
One of the biggest influences on my money mindset journey has been entrepreneur Shaan Puuri. He runs a fantastic podcast called My First Million that I constantly devour (and can’t recommend enough).
Recently he posted a tweet thread of some of his money wisdom and it resonated SO much with my thoughts on money. He articulated the ideas and lessons so well that I’m going to share that with you.
The first thing he highlights is that the rich aren’t actually just lucky. While a small percentage of them might have inherited their wealth, 79% of millionaires are actually self-made.
Why’s that a big deal? Because wealth building is a skill like any other skill that can be learned. Most people just need to make some shifts.
