On this solo episode of Travis Makes Money, Travis breaks down the mindset and habits required to deserve the success you say you want, not just wish for it. Using stories from his early podcasting days and his transition out of door-to-door sales, he explains how shifting from “this is what I want” to “this is what I deserve” changes how you think, act, and build your environment.

On this episode we talk about:

Why the show now releases three episodes every day and how each format (solo, co-hosted, interview) serves listeners
The difference between wanting success and actually deserving it
The “rat race” of chasing success versus becoming someone success is drawn to
The core question: “How can I become someone who deserves the success that I desire?”
The three pillars of deserving success: beliefs, actions, and relationships
The origin and impact of the quote “Be so good they can’t ignore you” in Travis’s career
The role of “delusional optimism” and belief, especially for younger people
Why your environment and closest relationships can quietly shape your results

Top 3 Takeaways

Success isn’t just about setting big goals; it’s about becoming the kind of person for whom those goals are a natural byproduct—someone who truly deserves them.
Beliefs, actions, and relationships form a stack: powerful beliefs fuel massive action, and the right environment reinforces both, making your desired success far more likely.
You must dramatically increase your volume of action—so much that it would be unreasonable not to get results—while staying flexible about how your dreams ultimately come to life.

Notable Quotes

“How can I become someone who deserves the success that I desire?”
“Be so good they can’t ignore you.”
“In the absence of clarity, take action. The clarity comes from taking the action.”
