Happens when you hang out in rooms with other people who have way more zeros — your problems are so small to them. Often, they can see into your future. It's a really weird thing. One of my mentors, David Osborne, who was worth 100 million at the time — I thought that was the richest any human could be — we were on a walk, and he was like, "How much money do you have right now?"

I was like, "I don't know, I have 100K in the bank right now."

He's like, "No, no, how much money exactly do you have in the bank?"

And I was like, "Well, I don't know. I'd have to look."

He goes, "You have to look? How much money do you make a month?"

And I was like, "Well, about this."

He's like, "You don't know exactly?"

And I was like, "I also don't know that."

"How much money do you spend?"

"I also don't know that."

And he goes, "Money is a cruel mistress. If you don't pay attention to her, she will leave you for somebody else."

I remember hearing that conversation and thinking, let's take that one step further. So, if all I have to do is follow my money, look at her, pay attention to her, and she'll grow...

And he said, "I can guarantee you, if in one year from now, you look at your money every single day and you look at your spendings and your savings, and you think about an ability to grow both, one year from now, you will be richer."

And I was like, "You guarantee?"

And he's like, "I guarantee."
