In this episode of Millionaire Mindcast Podcast, a powerful guest, Christopher Lochhead who shares things that he executed in order to reach and live a rich life that you can pick and applies to yours.
Christopher grew up in a family where a lack of money was always present. At 17-years-old, he decided to do something meaningful with his life. Inspired by what he called the ‘angel of his life’ his Grandfather, who truly believed him, supports, inspires and motivates him that he can do anything and be anything. He decided to be successful, decided to be smart, and really wanted to do legendary things. Chris put himself in those positions to be successful and let himself learned, grew, and took a massive risk.
As a result, Chris and his brother Jack started their company with no money, no experience, no education, no relationships of any kind. There’s been a lot of losses along the way. His whole career was just about trying to build companies and categories, in some cases loss and some cases win. He had been in those places of humiliation many times, lost money, been fired for so many times, but learned from those losses and moved forward.
On the other side, he gained the most important things, the joy, experiences, memories, relationships, and the network. In 10 years, he got a tremendous amount of accomplishment. At 28-years-old, he became a millionaire. He does great things and wins with over $400 billion exits.
Now, end up with having a life that’s fun, and interesting. He’s in the fun part of life that he never really thought about which is helping other people getting their goals and learning at the same time with his podcast. Chris focused on having a good time and hopefully make a very big difference. He’s an entrepreneur trying to do something exponentially different as opposed to incrementally better.
To Chris, it’s important to set goals, it doesn’t matter if you achieved them, it’s about who you become in the process. He trained himself to be a better person, a person that you can count on, somebody who produce results. He chose to be that guy because we have that option in everything. Also, work hard and believe in yourself. When you fail, get up and try again. Confidence comes from training yourself to produce legendary results. It doesn’t come from the people’s encouragement but proving to yourself that you can do it.
