The Crucial Role of Mindset in Achieving Your Desired Lifestyle

Hey, it's Earnest Mann here! Have you ever imagined living in a beautiful, serene place far from the chaos of everyday life? This episode is all about understanding what it takes to turn that dream into reality. But before you think it's just about buying property or striking it rich, let me clarify—it's all about unconventional thinking and the right mindset.

Why Mindset Matters More Than Money in Real Estate

In this discussion, I emphasize that even if you suddenly came into a large sum of money, it doesn't guarantee you'll fit in or succeed in certain environments. I compare this situation to the old TV show The Beverly Hillbillies—having money doesn’t automatically make you belong. The real secret is adjusting your mindset to align with your new surroundings, ensuring you're not just rich, but also socially adept and culturally aware.

The Hidden Costs of Aesthetic Choices

I also dive into a metaphor about lawns and pigeons, explaining how we often invest time and money into things that serve no real function other than aesthetics. This ties back into the broader theme of this episode: focusing on what truly matters and letting go of the superficial.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm a deep thinking contrarian, a very pragmatic idiocythrope. I believe that function determines desirability and legitimacy. I don't like the superficial and/or pretentious, nor the shallow. I speak the truth as best as I know it.

With friends, I desire quality over quantity. I know some very important life truths I'm just waiting for you to ask about. I have found in life, many people talk about happiness, but are unwilling to pay the price for it, because even if they’re able to pay that price, they believe they shouldn't have to, because they are entitled to it, but I understand with absolute certainty, that such beliefs are typically due to stupidity, Insanity, or some degree of both.

This is not just another YouTube channel; I'm seeking to build a community of Intelligent thinkers daring to discuss, - and say - what the hell ever really needs to be said, so please help me, as well as others, by leaving your thoughts, and hopefully.... subscribing.

I believe we really can change the current status quo of an idiotic and fucked up purposeless treadmill existence, and actually improve this world, but it requires intelligence, honesty, and BALLS, all three of which are currently in short supply, especially the balls.

Thank you for taking the time, to read this, and remember to avoid anything or anyone stupid, as much as possible, your life will be far better for it.

Please consider, that by visiting the website and supporting this show, you're supporting an actual person, not some mega corporation, that wouldn't know human compassion if it hit them over the head! I look forward to you reaching out to me, and until next Monday or Friday remember, the world may be misinformed and crazy, but YOU, don’t have to be!

0:01

are you living anything at all like

0:04

this have you ever given any thought to

0:07

the idea of living something like

0:14

this or maybe something like

0:17

this if you have there's a very real

0:21

possibility you actually

0:24

could I want you to watch this

0:27

video so you can discover for yourself

0:30

the wisdom of unconventional

0:35

thinking if you work for a living why do

0:38

you kill yourself

0:41

working

0:43

greetings the very first thing that I

0:45

wanted to say right out of the shoot was

0:49

that I didn't want to give the wrong

0:51

impression that I am dwelling at all in

0:55

real estate I am not a real estate agent

0:59

and that was not what I was getting at

1:02

that's not what I intended to put

1:04

across now what I'm going to talk about

1:08

is actually related to real estate but

1:13

not

1:15

directly I have to talk to you about

1:17

some things that will potentially

1:21

prepare you for this let's say so that's

1:23

what this is

1:25

about now I think it's important to

1:28

recognize for instance

1:31

that you have to use you have to use

1:35

different

1:36

thoughts um when you're

1:40

considering um getting into something

1:44

say such as getting some land or buying

1:47

real estate and whatnot and I can't

1:49

think of anything better than

1:54

this oh sorry I meant this

2:00

yes it's a natural rainstorm on a lawn

2:05

it's a rainstorm on a lawn and the

2:10

reason I use the lawn and the natural

2:13

rain on the

2:15

lawn was that I looked through God only

2:18

knows how many sources for just watering

2:23

Lawns and it was virtually too

2:26

impossible to find one without some

2:29

[ __ ] advertising in it so we have

2:33

this it's just you know naturally lawn

2:36

being rained on

2:38

watered and then let's take this for

2:42

example that's right

2:46

pigeons now you might wonder okay we've

2:50

got some pigeons going on here and so

2:53

the first thing out of your mind is what

2:56

the hell do Lawns and watering them and

2:59

and in this case pigeons what do they

3:02

have in

3:03

common and actually they do have a few

3:08

things in common that are relevant to

3:11

what I'm going to tell

3:14

you now just to diverge again for a

3:18

moment I need

3:20

to I need to make something clear I

3:24

opened this up by saying unorthodox

3:28

thinking that's what gets us somewhere

3:31

historically speaking it's what has

3:33

always gotten us somewhere it wasn't

3:36

thinking within the Box mostly thinking

3:39

outside of the box and that's what I do

3:43

since I am a professor of toy more on

3:47

that maybe in another

3:49

episode now so as far as the watering of

3:53

the lawn and say the pigeons are

3:56

concerned what they have in common is

3:58

that for the most part by and

4:02

large um and I'll give I'll give the

4:05

edge to the pigeons as far as this is

4:08

concerned but they really serve other

4:11

than

4:13

Aesthetics they serve no real [ __ ]

4:16

function

4:18

whatsoever

4:20

none if you don't

4:22

count taking your

4:25

money taking your money as much as

4:29

possible

4:31

because a lawn doesn't do anything

4:36

really other than Aesthetics so you

4:38

might wonder and I'm going to get if

4:42

you'd have the

4:44

patience to stick with me I'm going to

4:47

get to

4:50

this it is a lawn a modern lawn is

4:54

nothing but a vesage of something from

4:57

many centuries past started out

5:00

I believe it was made popular in America

5:02

from a carryover from Britain and it was

5:05

a sign of opulence and and wealth and

5:08

and so forth but in Practical terms

5:12

today it's um it's purely

5:15

ornamental but also at a great cost I'm

5:19

not talking about you know the product

5:23

cost I'm talking about the cost of your

5:26

attention and

5:27

time if you don't count the

5:30

obviously you know you've got weeding

5:33

and you got feeding and you got the

5:36

various chemicals to kill the the weeds

5:39

also or doing it by hand and of course

5:42

on top of all that of course there's the

5:45

[ __ ] mowing um and or if you're rich

5:49

enough you can bypass all that timec

5:52

consuming arduous [ __ ] and just pay

5:55

someone else that's what the rich do

5:58

okay but the point is is that to do

6:01

something with great time consumption

6:04

and

6:05

labor that serves no actual

6:10

function I'm trying to think of the of

6:13

the of the proper term what what would

6:15

say um [ __ ]

6:18

stupid okay there's a lot better

6:23

things like property uh but there are

6:26

many better things that you could be

6:27

spending time with so

6:30

that's what the pigeons and the lawn

6:32

have in common I mean arguably yeah way

6:35

in the past the pigeons were were used

6:38

uh in carrying messages say in times of

6:41

uh emergencies or in the military as a

6:44

matter of fact you may not historically

6:47

but it is true you may not know this is

6:49

historically accurate there's a very

6:52

famous one-legged pigeon that served in

6:56

the first world war that is actually was

6:59

decorated I'm not kidding you was

7:02

[ __ ] actually decorated and it was

7:04

taxidermic and it's in a museum I forgot

7:08

its name but you could check it out

7:10

yourself but other than that as far as

7:13

functionality yeah Lawns really aren't

7:15

up there and that then in turn allows me

7:19

to segue into what I was talking about

7:22

earlier when I was talking about and

7:25

showing you images of properties places

7:28

to live

7:30

you're not going to get

7:40

there and you're not going to get

7:45

there unless you change your mindset

7:50

where it

7:51

is you look at it and you say yeah it's

7:54

beautiful yeah I'd love to be there and

7:57

then poof it's gone

8:00

it's out of your head with no real

8:03

understanding of what is required to be

8:05

there

8:06

because you see it would be like just

8:10

say for instance if you hit the lottery

8:13

or somehow you came into a tremendous

8:16

amount of cash okay okay all right let's

8:20

say you go to one of those

8:22

places and you and you buy it because

8:26

you got the

8:27

money but you see just because you buy

8:30

it because you happen to have the money

8:34

doesn't mean that the other residents

8:36

that live there want you

8:38

there because culturally or otherwise

8:42

say to them um you're a [ __ ]

8:45

hillbilly so yeah if you are old enough

8:48

to to get this it's like the case which

8:51

was a whole sitcom back in the late 60s

8:55

early' 7s called The Beverly Hillbillies

8:57

That was supposed to be the humor and

8:59

the Irish

9:00

of the

9:01

show was these absolute pulpers who

9:04

struck it rich with oil and put them in

9:07

Beverly Hills where they let's just say

9:10

didn't quite fit in but to the annoyance

9:13

of all those around them including his

9:17

Banker who held on Mr Clampett's money

9:21

Mr

9:22

Dale um yeah they couldn't really do

9:24

anything about it because well what are

9:26

you going to do they're filthy

9:27

rich but that's not the case in real

9:30

life and you could you could be there

9:34

but you'll find yourself alone if not

9:36

outright um

9:40

ostracized because basically your

9:44

headspace you don't belong

9:46

there so the first thing to get together

9:49

before any Movement Like This is done

9:52

regardless of the finances regardless of

9:55

that is your

9:58

mindset and that's what all this video

10:01

is about here is first is to touch on

10:04

the mindset because if you don't have

10:07

that you don't have [ __ ] now besides the

10:10

real estate besides those pretty

10:12

pictures that I was showing you about

10:15

that you can

10:17

apply the same

10:20

rules to just about anything that I'm

10:23

talking about

10:25

here um in and bigger in in the bigger

10:28

picture of life

10:31

if you're not there if you're not

10:33

adequately prepared there are the rules

10:37

they're also referred to also called the

10:40

unspoken rules mainly social rules that

10:45

um well if you're socially awkward or if

10:48

you're socially inept you will

10:51

repeatedly commit all of these uh FAS in

10:57

society and no matter how friendly you

11:00

try to be or how much money you have or

11:03

any of those things it simply isn't

11:06

going to work so thinking that for

11:11

instance that you're going to work your

11:13

way up in the company and you're going

11:15

to make a boatload of money you're going

11:17

to you're you're you're going to do all

11:20

this and then that will because the

11:22

whole absolute obsession is with the

11:26

thing of the money and not understanding

11:28

these people are not understanding is

11:30

that that really doesn't matter and as

11:34

far as you wanting to be happy it does

11:38

matter so you can't it's like water and

11:41

oil the two sh not

11:44

mix um I know you know plenty for

11:47

instance plenty of um well I wouldn't

11:50

say plenty but I know a number of guys

11:53

who are essentially Rich Hillbillies

11:57

maybe you know some I don't know but um

12:00

yeah they'll go if they go to social

12:03

mixing situations and if they subject of

12:06

cars comes up and they pull up in their

12:09

Porsche but in conversation with the

12:12

people mixing who also have you know

12:14

exotic cars themselves and they'll say

12:19

Porsche and

12:22

immediately immediately they

12:24

know what side of the tracks you're

12:28

from because you never say Porsche it's

12:33

Porsche um things like this this is just

12:36

a small example of what what I'm talking

12:38

about so um as far as there's absolutely

12:43

nothing wrong with wanting to get the

12:46

hell into a beautiful place to live and

12:48

to get out of the Mayhem and all of that

12:51

but there are certain elements that you

12:53

have to that you have you simply have to

12:57

understand and if you don't you're at a

13:00

loss and you will lose so for instance

13:04

let's say you would have or need an

13:08

intermediary between the two whereas I

13:13

take person X and introduce their wants

13:17

and

13:19

desires um into um a PL a place that

13:23

will fit them very well and also you

13:26

have to remember it's also the people

13:28

who are well currently living there well

13:32

again they want to be comfortable with

13:35

you you see that's the whole for

13:38

instance this is I'm not speaking for or

13:41

against it I'm just simply telling you

13:44

what

13:45

is what is for instance is that that's

13:49

the reason why there are country

13:52

clubs because they're not meant for the

13:55

common folk they're meant for the rich

13:59

but even though you're rich that's not

14:03

entirely you know a cart blanch to enter

14:08

the country club in and of itself

14:10

there's quite a bit of scrutiny going on

14:12

there you need to know that you need to

14:15

understand that

14:17

so if you need and you want to

14:20

understand what I'm saying about this

14:24

then that's why you talk to me because

14:28

that that's part of what I'm doing here

14:31

is I'm I'm trying to lay out a let's say

14:34

a

14:35

foundation for you know anyone who's

14:39

curious about this that you know wants

14:42

to know I'm here knock knock knock that

14:45

that's that's all you have to

14:47

do

14:49

so that was that's pretty much the long

14:52

and the short of this I wanted to just

14:54

do a brief introduction and um you know

14:59

give you some kind of insight into this

15:02

so that for instance you won't make one

15:06

of the most horrible mistakes uh that

15:08

you could of your life whereas let's say

15:11

you get a huge inheritance or you win

15:13

the lottery and you just go out there

15:16

and you you think you're going to well

15:19

you you have this I can I can live

15:21

wherever the hell I want and I can do

15:22

what no no no you can't and for multiple

15:28

reasons

15:30

it will

15:32

fail that is the honest truth of the

15:37

situation ah here's actual footage of my

15:40
