About this video

This is a Q&A interview in which Martell answers questions about wealth, mindset and life. He opens with a hypothetical: given a million dollars, a poor person starts calculating furniture, trips and a leased car and has spent it before the transfer finishes, while a wealthy person considers allocation and long-term return — poor people use money to consume, wealthy people use money to create more money, in his account. He says most people are broke because they will not take 100% accountability, will not invest in skills to become more valuable, and do not believe they deserve more, noting ‘you’ll never get a penny more than you think you’re worth.’ Asked about going from rehab to multi-millionaire, he says he spent 11 months at Portage, failed for seven years afterwards, and that other people’s belief in him — later, his faith in a Creator — carried him. He advises overcoming fear by remembering others are focused on themselves, that many people’s worst case is someone else’s dream scenario, and by thinking in five-year increments. On missed goals he prescribes measuring progress and getting feedback from people who have already built what you want. He defines success, via his coach, as being ‘blissfully dissatisfied’ — deeply grateful while wanting to create more — and says purpose usually sits next to the worst thing that ever happened to you. Other answers cover legacy as how you show up today rather than sacrificing for future generations, imposter syndrome as a sign you care and are stretching, wealthy people spending money to save time, worthiness, greatness as making people close to you better, and parenting: he says he pays for needs, splits wants 50/50, and tells his kids that at 18 they have to leave the house.

Key takeaways

• Take 100% accountability, build more valuable skills, and ask for what you believe you deserve — he argues income is capped by self-worth as well as by value delivered.
• Treat money as a tool to invest for a return rather than to consume, and treat time as the scarcer resource: wealthy people, in his account, spend money to save time.
• When goals stall, measure progress on a timeline and seek feedback from people who have already achieved the goal, then tweak the strategy instead of quitting.
• Look for purpose next to your greatest pain, and pair that purpose with a business that serves the same cause, which he calls a winning recipe.
• Raise non-entitled kids, in his approach, by not doing things for them, paying only for needs, splitting wants 50/50 so they earn half, and celebrating progress and effort rather than outcomes.
