There’s more to Jordan Belfort, author of the best-selling book and record-breaking movie The Wolf of Wall Street, than you know. Jordan Belfort made more than $50 million per year in his mid-twenties, had over 1,000 stockbrokers working for him, and raised over $1 billion in venture capital. Jordan Belfort learned the hard way that success at anything in life – from building your career or business, defining entrepreneurial vision, enhancing relationships to creating wealth – has a ‘formula’… a system of ‘rules’. By developing a unique understanding of those rules he now knows how to “fail elegantly” – because the real lessons are in the failures. And he knows how to succeed wildly!

1.  “Act as if you’re a wealthy man, rich already, and then you’ll surely become rich. Act as if you have unmatched confidence and then people will surely have confidence in you. Act as if you have unmatched experience and then people will follow your advice. And act as if you are already a tremendous success, and as sure as I stand here today – you will become successful.”

2. “Winners use words that say ‘must’ and ‘will’.”

3. “The only thing standing between you and your goal is the bullshit story you keep telling yourself as to why you can’t achieve it.”

4. “Successful people are 100% convinced that they are masters of their own destiny, they’re not creatures of circumstance, they create circumstance, if the circumstances around them suck they change them.”

5. “I believe in total immersion, if you want to be rich, you have to program your mind to be rich. You have to unlearn all the thoughts that were making you poor and replace them with new thoughts – rich thoughts.”

6. “When you live your life by poor standards, you inflict damage on everyone who crosses your path, especially those you love.”

7. “If you give people a good enough ‘why’, they will always figure out the ‘how’.”

8. “If you want to be rich, never give up. People tend to give up. If you have persistence, you will come out ahead of most people. More importantly, you will learn. When you do something, you might fail. But that’s not because you’re a failure. It’s because you have learnt enough. Do it differently each time. One day, you will do it right. Failure is your friend.”

9. “No matter what happened to you in your past, you are not your past, you are the resources and the capabilities you glean from it. And that is the basis for all change.”

10. “The easiest way to make money is – create something of such value that everybody wants and go out and give and create value, the money comes automatically.”
