| In 1979 the father of my good friend, Bedros Keuilian, paid off a communist official so their family could flee Armenia.
First they got to Italy and applied for asylum at the American Embassy.
A few days later the entire family was on a flight to the United States.
For the next few years life was actually worse for Bedros and his family.
They slept on one mattress in an unfurnished apartment in a rundown part of LA…
Bedros was teased mercilessly at school for his clothes and weird foreigner haircut… He couldn’t yet speak the language…
And he peed himself at his seat because he didn’t know how to ask to go to the bathroom…
The family even had to rummage through dumpsters behind grocery stores for food.
But all that eventually changed…
Because of his mindset.
He calls it, “The Immigrant Edge.”
It’s what allowed him to survive 2020 while hundreds of his Fit Body Boot Camp locations were forced to shut down…
He recently said in a Facebook post, “I had to work 10X’s harder in 2020 to make ½ my regular income, but it’s only made me stronger for the future.”
As a consultant to his new supplement company, I see every week how he’s taking the tough lessons from 2020 and turning them into his next fortune.
All thanks to his commitment to developing the right mindset.
Why do I tell you this?
Because chances are if you’ve been struggling to reach a certain income level…
It has a lot to do with focusing on scarcity rather than abundance.
If you grew up with a “have-not” mentality it can be hard to believe the idea of yourself having lots of money.
Trust me, this is common.
I came from scarcity too… so I understand this struggle.
However, the good news is you can fix it and it’s easier than you think.
You can change your mindset and make it your greatest asset for achieving wealth.
Here’s how:
1. Hang Around Wealthy and Generous People
This is both highly effective and a great place to start.
If you increase your exposure to people like this you will continually level up as a result of their influence.
For example, two of the best influences on me are my good friends Bedros and Joel Marion…
...who are both extremely wealthy and even MORE generous… even though they came from practically nothing.
2. Become a Very Generous Person.
For six years my friend Matt Smith and I held an annual charity event where we donated to the Marine Corps’ Toys for Tots drive. Each year I personally spent $25,000 buying Christmas gifts for children who would otherwise have gone without a present on Christmas morning.
Giving back this way was a very powerful feeling and changed my life.
When you shift your focus to giving, rather than “penny-pinching,” it dramatically improves your abundance mindset.
Plus… being part of charity events connects you to wealthy, generous people!
3. Choose “Abundance Inputs”
Feed your mind with information, knowledge, and experiences of abundance.
A couple good books I recommend are Dan Kennedy’s “No BS Wealth Attraction” and a book called “Wired For Wealth.”
In addition to that, why not take a stroll through a wealthy neighborhood?
Drive there if you have to, then park and walk a few blocks… get used to being surrounded by wealth.
Pick out the biggest, nicest house you see and picture yourself living there.
4. Think About Money... Differently
And finally, realize that Money is not the most important number on the scoreboard...
I’ll bet if you stop focusing on it and start focusing on quality of content and better strategy…
...and having a better business that generates better results for clients…
...then you’ll have big breakthroughs and the money will flow.

So it really all starts and ends with your mindset.
This holds true for pretty much everything in life…
But I’ve never seen such dramatic differences from this as I have around money.
Maintain awareness of this, keep it at the forefront of your mind, and do whatever you can to shift your mindset toward abundance.
If you can manage that…
Wealth, happiness, even health and better relationships will flow your way.
To Your Success,
Craig
