Money People Deal: Chapter 5 Mar 02, 2020

Show notes

Chapter five of the Money People Deal starts with a definition everybody should have as their mantra: risk. All of the definitions involve some form of loss or suffering, but they all have an element of variability, probability, or chance. After that, Aarnio shares his own definition of risk, as an inventory of elements that are under your control compared with an inventory of elements that are out of your control.

Stefan's "risk" definition has two primary distinctions that the average definition does not:

It assesses your degree of control in a situation, and assesses your emotions and how you feel about your level of control, eliminating the words "probability" and "chance" from his definition.

"In my world, actions and options are more important than probability. No matter how bad a scenario gets, there are always actions to be performed and options that can be explored. Probability and chance come from past data, and may or may not apply to the present or the future."

Hard Times Create Strong Men: Chapter 8 Feb 26, 2020

What does it mean to be a man? Specifically, to turn from a boy who lives with his mother, in the world of women, the world of the feminine of fun, of games, of play, and then transition into the masculine world with the men, responsibility, and work?

The Spartans were some of the strongest, most revered warriors of all time. Popularized in movies like 300, the men of Sparta never surrendered and they were hard and rigid, but it was this same rigidity that prevented them from growing into an empire like the Romans. Eventually, the Spartans' rigidity led them into their demise.

"It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent; it is the one most adaptable to change."

Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species

In this chapter of Hard Times Create Strong Men, Stefan analyses the fighting mentality of armies like the Spartans of Ancient Greece and the Germans in WWII, who eventually lost due to their inability to bend instead of breaking. In battle and in life, it's much better to be resourceful, and flexible in your thinking than to be rigid and one dimensional. In the Art of War, the perfect warrior wins the fight without violence.

Join Stefan Aarnio in this confession, where he shares meeting new people actually related to his own new passion (real estate), how he assisted to seminars, read real-estate material and books with the illusion of meeting the right person or finding the right opportunity.

"We would meet in basements around the city like resistance fighters fighting a common foe—our own fear, weaknesses, and ignorance. We met secretly to feel like we belonged to something special, perhaps an elite club, but in truth, we met secretly to connect with like-minded individuals and avoid the ridicule of our friends and families."

By putting in action the wealth principle of "giving" instead of "taking", Aarnio decided to push his theory to the limit and force himself to act in the opposite direction of his poverty mind. Learn how trying the opposite is one of the quickest ways to turn failure into success.
