🚀 The Strategy 90% of People Shouldn’t Use (But It Worked for Me)

Most people shouldn’t follow this advice.
Seriously—it will destroy them.

But if you have the right mindset and work ethic, this could be the move that changes your life.

💰 I Bought a Car I Couldn’t Afford

When I was younger, I made a reckless financial decision:

🔥I bought a car I had no business buying.
🔥I took on a payment I couldn’t comfortably afford.
🔥I put myself in a financial squeeze—on purpose.

Why?

Because I wanted to feel successful.

And I believed—if you FEEL successful, you’re more likely to BECOME successful.

And guess what? It worked.

🏆 Pressure Creates Winners (If You Can Handle It)

Now, let me be clear—I don’t recommend this for everyone.

👉🏼 Most people will crumble under the pressure.
👉🏼 Most people will make the payment, struggle for a bit, and then give up.
👉🏼 Most people will get their car repo’d and call it a “bad decision.”

Because most people aren’t winners.

But for me? Buying that car forced me to raise my game.

I HAD to figure it out.
I HAD to make the payment every month—no excuses.
I HAD to push harder, sell more, and make more money.

And that’s exactly what I did.

The payment was a problem… and winners solve problems.

🤔 How Winners Handle Financial Pressure

When a winner takes on a big financial commitment, they don’t panic—they level up.

They find ways to win.

💡They take on a side job.
💡They sell something extra.
💡They get more clients.
💡They push harder than before.

Losers? They fold.

They complain, make excuses, and blame the system.

If a car payment breaks you, that’s not the car’s fault. That’s your fault.

⚠️ This is NOT About Being Reckless

I’m not saying to go max out your credit on bullshit you don’t need.
I’m not saying to live irresponsibly and hope things magically work out.

This strategy ONLY works if you have the drive to step up.

💰 A big financial commitment should be a catalyst, not a coffin.
💰 It should force you to push harder, not set you up for failure.

If you avoid all risks in life, you’ll never get anywhere.

But if you take the right risks—and have the work ethic to back it up—you can force yourself to win.

🔥Final Thought: Do This ONLY If You’re Ready to Raise Your Game

This strategy is not for the weak.

❌ If you can’t handle pressure—don’t do this.
❌ If you crumble under stress—don’t do this.
❌ If you aren’t willing to raise your game—definitely don’t do this.

But if you’re the kind of person who figures shit out, refuses to lose, and thrives under pressure…

Then sometimes, putting yourself in a financial squeeze is exactly what you need to level up.

🚀 Winners don’t avoid problems. They solve them.

Are you a winner or not?
