Welcome to the level of podcast. I'm your host Paul Alex. I went from being a cop to a friggin entrepreneur that helps average people like you and me make money every single day. I created this podcast to help you get motivated and to crush your goals. Let's win together.
Remember, I have your sins. Get ready to level up right now. What's up, everyone? Welcome back to the level of podcast.
“I'm Paul Alex and today we are tackling the biggest psychological hurdle between the cubicle”
and the boardroom, the W2D talks because let's be real.
If you are starting your first business, but you still think like an hourly employee, you are going to
accidentally build yourself a minimum wage job. Let's break down how to rewire your brain from trading time to allocating capital. First, understand that the employee mindset is fundamentally rooted in effort. While the founder mindset is rooted in leverage. In a nine to five, you are taught that working harder and staying later gets you a promotion.
In business, working harder on the wrong things just makes you exhausted. If you spend 10 hours designing a logo instead of paying an expert 50 bucks to do it in an hour, your brain is still operating on a W2 frequency. Whether you are launching a side hustle or scaling an agency, your time is no longer cheap. If you refuse to buy speed, you kill your own transition.
“Second, you have to undergo a complete detox from the concept of a guaranteed paycheck.”
People do not become wealthy by playing it completely safe and waiting for the first of the
month. They become wealthy by accepting absolute terrifying accountability for their own income. So, instead of looking at your bank account to see what you were given, look at the market to see what you can go hunt. Make revenue generation your only measure of security, lastly. Transitioning to a capital allocator completely changes your reality.
When you stop asking, "How can I do this?" And start asking, "Who can I hire to do this?" You unlock the true power of a CEO, elite resource management, extreme delegation, and a refusal to do low-level tasks create an unshakable founder. When you detox from the employee mindset, you finally start building an empire.
Bottom line, you cannot run a business with the mindset of someone waiting for a lunchbrain. Detox your brain, buy back your time, and allocate your capital. Because when you do, you will scale smoother than ever. Thanks for tuning into the level of podcast on Paul Alex reminding you, true leverage starts in the mind.
Change the frequency, build the machine, and as always, keep leveling up.
