to get what you want you must deserve it.

From the Desk of Maverick Brenton.
Subject: Deserving What You Want in Life.

Last week a man by the name of Charlie Munger died which prompted me to spend this Sunday morning writing a letter about an important lesson he shared with the world. A lesson which will help you in life if you take it to heart, and apply it to your life. Because I’ve not only seen in others, but also in myself, failure being the result of not understanding this principle.

You could say it’s common sense to understand this principle of life but few understand it. Even people of fair intelligence. Since it’s not book knowledge or something you can just know. It comes from life and taking the time to learn how things work. More importantly though, how you work in this thing called life.

Charlie wrote a book called Poor Charlies Almanack which I read as a young man when I was learning about the basics of money. I had a mentor who told me about Warren Buffett, the most successful investor in history. In the background working alongside Buffett was this man, Charlie Munger, who had also made himself a billionaire through investing.

Unless you are a professional investor which means you use money to buy money, and which takes a very long time to master - you should ignore the investing advice of these guys and just study how they think which is where the gold is. You are not Buffett or Munger. You’re not going anywhere if you sit around jerking yourself off over stocks. That’s what the masses do and it’s why they are still broke in the middle of their life.

Personally I don’t invest in stocks or crypto or anything like that. I think it’s a waste of time unless you have enough money to make it worthwhile, meaning you have millions that allow for exponential returns where you can make serious money. Generally you’re not going to get anywhere playing those games unless you get lucky or start with a lot of money, or you don’t mind waiting 40 years to have enough to do anything decent with. That doesn’t interest me.

Sorry but the barefoot investor philosophy won’t do jack shit for you other than make you a little better off than you were before, and if you think not buying a latte each day is going to save you then I have bad news son.

You’ve been conned.

Conventional advice won’t give you the ability to buy luxury Swiss watches in cash or take a year off to do whatever the fuck you want which is my reality. At 26 I have bank accounts around the world with the average person’s life savings in each. Zero debts. Internet cash flow. That’s called freedom. It’s what I can help you figure out.

Creating basic businesses. Getting good at sales. Giving yourself leverage. Cash flowing activities that you control are the way to get wealth initially. Then you start investing when you have too much money and you need somewhere to store it. However that’s a subject for another piece.

What I want to talk about here is something Charlie said in his book which has remained with me ever since.

“To get what you want out of life, you have to deserve what you want. The world is not yet a strange enough place to reward a whole bunch of undeserving people.”

You need to re-read that and sit alone somewhere to think on it. Because that single statement explains why most people will never make it in life. They do not deserve what they want and their work ethic does not match their expectations of reality. They are out of their fucking mind delusional and entitle which ruins their chances of success.

Without a SINGLE exception everyone I know who does not have the life they want is disconnected from reality and does not genuinely deserve the life they want. They’re not the type of people who can have what it is they want, and there is a key lesson in that.

YOU have to BE the type of guy who gets what he wants. You have to earn shit. You have to put out. For a long time and through the hard times. There isn’t any other way.

These people I refer to have not done the work.

They have not suffered.

They just have this expectation that they are going to get everything.

A $50 million dollar vision board and a $5 work ethic.

For the most part they are fucking lazy and think that they can have everything without giving up anything which is not how life works. You MUST make sacrifices if you want a better future and you must genuinely deserve what you want out of life to get it. If you don’t have what you want, then the fact is that you do not deserve what you want.

You are lazy and you haven’t earned it yet.

All good things come from hard work and putting in the time. But the world today is teaching people that they somehow deserve everything even though they have done nothing. So we have a generation of entitled shitmunchers who have no idea what it really means to suffer. They are weaker than watered down water and if you are serious about the game you can run these pussies over without mercy because they will give up the moment it gets hard.

The older I get and the more I understand life the more I am disgusted by the average man who doesn’t take care of his physical self, who is cowardly, who is lazy, and who has unrealistic expectations from life without having an unrealistic work ethic and drive.

You need to hate what you don’t want to become if you don’t want to become it.

You need to hate what you don’t want to become.

Tolerance and acceptance is a load of shit. A man should not tolerate everything, and he damn well shouldn’t accept everything. That’s a fucking psy-op. You need to have ruthless standards and be a cunt. Don’t put up with shit from yourself or anyone else. Your life is garden and if you don’t tend to it then it will turn into a jungle.

When you are truly getting after it and building yourself and your life into something great, you no longer have the time or the bandwidth for the bullshit that average people bring into your life.

Here is what you need to understand;

Life will take care of you if you are genuinely trying to achieve something. It won’t make it easy, but it will reward you if you really put your balls on the line and go for it. You might fail at first and it might seem like a nightmare, but if you just keep going you will get what you want and you will feel more bliss than you can ever imagine.

As Charles Bukowski said in his essay, Go All The Way…

“You will ride life straight to perfect laughter”

You want something?

Earn it.

Shut your mouth and stop whining about how hard it is. Stop talking about everything you are going to do.

Do the work and start deserving it instead. Because while you are jerking yourself off over ideas and playing video games some savage is locked away in his room SMOKING you into oblivion.

Successful men always have strong character and a clear understanding of reality.

They earned who they are and what they have.

This is why they are impressive.

Because of what they had to go through to get where they are in life. Because they know how the game works. Because when everyone else was taking the easy way out and quitting, they kept going and reaped the rewards of not giving up.

They deserved what they wanted and they got what they wanted as a result.

It’s why they have no time for losers.

People who don’t have what they want always tell you why they haven’t got it without saying anything. All you need to do is watch their behaviour and listen to how they talk. Then you can immediately connect the dots on how they make themselves fail and it ALWAYS comes back to the same things that keep people poor and stuck.

Entitlement. Laziness. Arrogance. Ignorance.

To get what you want in life. Deserve it. Suffer for it. Make the universe take notice of you and give you what you want. Refuse to give in and settle. Refuse to blame anyone or anything outside of yourself. Refuse to think you know it all. BURN into your mind the fact of life that you don’t deserve a fucking thing except what you earn through blood, sweat and tears.

Your life is a direct reflection of the quality of an individual that you are.

If you want more,

be more.
