What if everything you've believed about money until now is [music] a dirty lie? What if the rich aren't smarter, more talented, or more hardworking than you, but simply play by entirely different rules? And what if I told you that you too can learn these rules? But one thing must be clear to you. As long as you don't realize what game is actually being played here, you are just a pawn on someone else's board. The average German works 40 hours a week. Add to that the commute, and many are thus mostly occupied with work 5 days a week, all until they are 67 years old. However, politicians want us to work even more, and yet for most people it is hardly possible to own their own home anymore. On the other hand, there are people like Christian Wolf. In his mid-20s, he built a supplement brand and at 30, he had an exit for an incredible 90 million euros. For this money, the average German would have to work over 600 lifetimes in a row. It was very similar with Jan Kraume. He simply dropped out of his studies in 2019, built the fitness brand Oase with his team, and within just 5 years, he turned it into one of the fastest-growing brands in Europe. Today, his company generates double-digit millions in revenue every year. Or even more extreme, Tobias Lütke. He was a mediocre student and dropped out of high school after the tenth grade. But then he emigrated to Canada, founded Shopify, and today he is a multi-billionaire. So what do these people know that you don't know? Do they simply work harder? Did they just get lucky? Or is it perhaps ironic that they have a better morning routine and take ice baths more often than you? You, on the other hand, work in a job that you probably have. You get by, but you certainly won't get rich. And that, even though you've always behaved yourself. You worked hard in school, completed vocational training, perhaps even studied, but now you stare at a screen for 8 hours every day, counting down the minutes until quitting time in your head, and wondering what the hell am I actually doing here? You imagined everything quite differently. More freedom, more travel, more life. You dream of waking up in the morning and simply deciding what you want to do today, not what you have to do. You dream of living the exact life that is shown to you every day on Instagram with good weather, good food, adventures, and perhaps also a cool car in the driveway. But all of that seems further away than ever today. Instead, you almost have to be grateful to have a job at all, while artificial intelligence is currently making entire professions obsolete. To wake up from this nightmare, you have to unlearn everything you've ever been taught about money and hard work. And that is precisely my goal with this three-part docuseries. Today, in the first part, I will reveal the unvarnished truth about our monetary system, and afterwards, I will give you a step-by-step plan on what you can do to become one of the new winners of the money game, not despite, but thanks to AI. A huge side effect of this documentary. The following content conveys the highly concentrated and unvarnished truth about our monetary system. It reveals the hidden mechanisms of the greatest wealth transfer in history and how artificial intelligence is rapidly accelerating it. Consumption of this video is not suitable for people with chronic blind obedience, acute reality allergies, or the need to cling to comfortable lies. Among the most common side effects are shocking epiphanies, the abrupt loss of blind trust in our elite, and a deep understanding of how money really works. Should these symptoms occur during the course of the documentary, do not panic. Consider it proof that the healing has just begun. Everything I'm about to explain is based on real experience, by the way, because you might be thinking right now, who is this bald, tattooed guy anyway, and why should I even listen to him? Hi, my name is Anschuh Högel, and I've been self-employed with my own business for over 10 years now. At this point, I could tell you how my company has generated over 5 million for me in recent years. I could also pull out this rather cheesy award here in front of the camera to show that I know what I'm talking about. I received it from my payment provider. But to be completely honest, all of that is unimportant detail in this story. I wasn't born with a silver spoon in my mouth. On the contrary, I come from a very ordinary working-class family. My father was unfortunately an alcoholic, and I even dropped out of my studies. I was financially close to absolute ruin several times. I trusted the wrong advice, burned 10,000 euros, and had to learn everything the hard way. But when my business slowly started to gain momentum, it wasn't the money that changed my life, but the fact that doors suddenly opened for me. Because all of a sudden, I was sitting in closed masterminds and at private dinner rounds next to people who easily earned ten times more than me. And as I sat there at the table and observed how multimillionaires really tick when the cameras are off, my eyes were opened. I saw firsthand the principles they operate by and how they saw through the dirty lie that had kept me poor for years and is probably keeping you poor right now. And it is precisely this lie that I will share with you today. More precisely, which three partial lies you have been indoctrinated with about money from childhood. Once you understand them, your path to the first million will hopefully be a whole lot easier than mine. Imagine for a moment you are John Rockefeller in the year 1902. You are the richest man in the world. You own huge factories and oil refineries that run day and night and generate money. Your empire actually functions perfectly like a gigantic clockwork of steel and steam. Everything can be calculated except for a single faulty component. The people, the men in your factories, come from small farms. So they are used to working when the sun shines, not when the shift begins. If they have earned enough money for the next week, they simply don't show up the next day. They prefer to go drinking, they strike, and they stop your beautiful machines if something doesn't suit them. So how do you build a new unstoppable world if your workers cause so much chaos? It's simple, you don't wait until these rebels grow up and are in your factories. You start much earlier. You shape them before they even understand what's happening to them. That's why Rockefeller resorted to his most powerful weapon in 1902. He took an incredible 129 million dollars and built new schools all over America. To the people on the street, it looked like a wonderful donation. A rich man helps poor children. But behind closed doors, the real plan looked completely different. Rockefeller's chief advisor, Frederick Gate, even wrote the real intentions clearly in public documents. He dreamed of children who would obediently and completely submissively be shaped by their new teachers. So they didn't want to promote free thinking. They didn't want to create brave leaders or brilliant inventors. The goal was completely different. The schools were supposed to prepare children precisely for the life that Rockefeller had planned for them. A life as punctual, obedient workers, small, quiet cogs for his giant machines. These schools were built precisely at a time when the entire economy was changing radically. Suddenly, they no longer needed farmers who worked freely, but people who functioned punctually, reliably, and according to clear structures, meaning they were obedient and compliant. Now think back to your own school days. Doesn't the whole thing feel frighteningly familiar? Have you never wondered why your day was always interrupted by a loud bell? No one taught you to manage your energy yourself. You were trained to function immediately at the sound of a bell. The perfect training for your daily life as an employee. And why did you have to sit in rigid rows with the other children, your gaze always fixed silently forward? Why weren't you allowed to simply get up? Even to go to the toilet, you had to raise your hand and ask for permission. Not because someone consciously wanted to keep you down, but because order and control are more important than individual freedom in this system. Or do you remember what happened when you had to solve a really difficult problem? Did you team up with your deskmate to reach the goal faster? If the teacher saw that, you got a bad grade, because school is designed to measure individual performance, not to solve real problems efficiently. In the real world, however, it's completely different. People who are successful there are precisely those who get help, delegate, and build networks. But the absolute highlight of all this brainwashing was the test. Bring that scene back to mind. You enter the room, you sit down silently, an authority figure places a sheet of paper on your desk. The problem on the paper is already precisely described. The rules are fixed. Your only task at this moment is to fill in the blanks that someone else has left for you. If you obediently repeat exactly what you've been fed, you get an A. If you deviate, you are punished with red ink. School does not promote creative and independent problem-solving, nor individuality. The problem isn't that school teaches you nothing. The problem is what it teaches you, and especially what it doesn't. That's precisely why you might have problems solving complex problems or tasks today. If you have to solve a problem today, there's no teacher who writes steps A, B, and C on the board for you. You are faced with a huge, messy pile of chaos, and this is exactly where the skill begins that makes the difference in the real world. You have to take the big problem and break it down into small tasks yourself. You have to try things that turn out to be wrong. You will waste time on tasks that don't move you forward an inch. But that's precisely where the secret lies. The ability to endure this chaos, to make mistakes, and to forge your own path. That is exactly the value for which the real economy will ultimately reward you handsomely. The employee, however, waits for a task to complete. The rich person, on the other hand, looks for a problem that, ideally, only they can solve. Because whoever waits to be assigned tasks will be paid exactly that way, for the time they obediently sit at their desk, by the hour, for pure sweat. And precisely this wrong logic drives us blindly into the second, even more dangerous lie about money. Perhaps you know this saying. If hard work made you rich, then the donkey would own the farm. This saying is damn true. Because if hard work really made you rich, then construction workers, nurses, and cleaners would drive Porsches to work. But why don't they? Because the market is not a moral judge. It doesn't hand out diligence cards for spilled sweat. It doesn't care about your effort. To understand what the market really cares about and why an employee mindset traps you, we need to travel briefly to the 1920s, to Henry Ford's gigantic car factory. Imagine you are standing in this huge hall, suddenly there's a deafening bang. The main generator fails, the assembly lines stop, nothing works anymore. And with every passing second, Henry Ford is burning a small fortune. What happens now? Ford's [sniff] permanent engineers rush to the machine. They run around hectically, unscrew panels, bang on the housing, wipe sweat from their brows. For two days and nights, they work themselves to death. They look incredibly busy. And why do they do that? Because they are stuck in a reward system that precisely rewards that. As an employee, you are doomed to prove your worth through effort. With a boss breathing down your neck, your biggest nightmare is to appear lazy or useless. So you fall into activism. You play the theater of hard work. The result of this theater at Ford. Despite all the effort, the generator remains off. Out of sheer desperation, Ford calls an external expert, Charles Steinmetz. Steinmetz then enters the hall. And what does he do? He refuses to play along with the theater. He doesn't run, he doesn't sweat, he asks for a simple cot, places it next to this silent monster of a generator, and lies down. For two days, he simply listens to the quiet hum of the system that has replaced the loud engine noise. At the end of the second night, Steinmetz asks for a simple piece of chalk. He climbs onto the generator, takes measurements, and draws a small white cross on the metal housing. He turns around and says: "Remove the cover plate exactly here and replace 16 windings of the field coil." They do it, and the generator immediately starts up. When Ford sees the bill, a gigantic fortune at the time, he gasps for air. He demands a detailed breakdown. After all, his argument is that this guy just drew a chalk line. Steinmetz replies to Ford with exactly two lines. Drawing a chalk cross $1. Knowing where the cross belongs $9,999. And Ford pays without another word. This is precisely the real story, because it's not really about a broken generator. [music] It's about how we measure the value of work and how wrong we usually are. We are trained from childhood to equate effort with value. Someone who works 10 hours is more diligent than someone who works only 2 hours. At least, that's the equation we were taught. That's why we wear our long workdays like medals. That's why being busy feels so satisfying, even if nothing has come of it by the end of the day. Being busy feels productive, but it often isn't. Just as sweating doesn't automatically mean you're running in the right direction. Steinmetz wasn't paid for his two days. He wasn't paid for the physical act of drawing chalk on metal. He was paid for one thing. The result, for the output he delivered. People who become financially free refuse to sell their effort. They realize that they don't need to appear busy, but that they need to solve real problems. And then they get paid for the value of the solution. It doesn't matter if it took them 3 months or 3 minutes. As long as you remain an employee, you will be paid for inputs, like the engineers in Ford's factory. And that has a cruel mathematical consequence. Your day only has 24 hours. You can't work infinitely hard. You can't work your way to wealth because your body will eventually collapse. When you become aware of this cold truth for the first time, you feel a dawning panic. You realize that working more or harder is not the solution. And at precisely this moment, the financial industry offers you a hand with a smile. Thousands of gurus call out to you from the internet with the ultimate, seemingly perfect way out. Stop slaving away. Just let your money work for you. And with that, you're already halfway into the third money lie. The financial system offers you three doors through which you can supposedly escape to freedom. [music] Behind door number 1 lies the absolute classic, which every financial guru today sells as salvation. ETFs and stocks. But let's do the math. If you earn an average salary and diligently put 500 euros into the MSCI World every month, exactly one thing happens, namely almost nothing. Even with a rather unrealistic 10% return per year, after 10 years you'll have around 102,000 euros on paper. Sounds good at first, right? But wait, 60,000 euros of that is your own hard-earned money. For 10 years, you've forgone awesome vacations, denied yourself the new car, and thought twice about every restaurant visit for 42,000 euros profit before tax and before inflation. But the financial gurus happily continue to calculate. After 30 years, with only 500 euros a month, you'll have 1 million. Fantastic. So you'll be a millionaire at 65. But do you know what a million will be worth in 30 years? Probably only half. And do you know what you'll do with this money at 65? Probably not quite as much. You won't have the same energy, not the same goals as back then. Driving a Porsche at 65 isn't quite as cool as at 35. A world trip is also quite exhausting at 65. Frustrated, [sniff] you turn around. You don't want to wait three decades, and so you push open door number 2. Real estate. This might sound like security and stability at first, but even if a bank finances an apartment for you, you quickly land in bitter reality. In Germany, you get at most a 2 to 6% rental yield with real estate, and even from that, you have to deduct maintenance, management, and often the unbelievable stress with tenants who, in the worst case, trash the place. Sure, there are countless real estate millionaires, but they mostly bought 20 or 30 years ago when prices were still affordable relative to salaries. Today, you don't buy wealth. You buy a decades-long loan agreement and often a lot of trouble. In the end, you work much more for the property, and not the property for you. Whoever sees through that too becomes impatient. You think: "Screw ETFs, screw debt, I'm doing crypto." With this burning impatience, you tear open the third door. And yes, it exists. There is this one crazy story of someone who invested 1000 euros in a memecoin and became a multimillionaire. I myself met a guy a few years ago on a beach in Typer who turned 1000 euros into Shiba Inu into over 1 million. But don't fool yourself. For every crypto millionaire flexing on YouTube, there are thousands of people who have destroyed their entire savings. This is not a way to get rich, this is pure casino. Everything the financial world sells you as a solid investment or quick riches has the same three fundamental problems. First, in reality, it usually takes decades. Second, you have no direct control over your investment, and third, the return is often a joke in the end. But let's assume for a second. You are the absolute exception. You play the crypto game or even the lottery and win. Suddenly, 3 million euros are in your account. Finally free. Or reality often looks different. There are countless stories of people who become rich overnight and a few years later the money is gone again. Not because they are stupid, but because they never learned to handle so much money. Suddenly, you're not living off your income anymore, but off a pile of money that gets a little smaller every day because you've never learned to build a system that generates new money. How that works, we'll look at now. Imagine you're walking through the aisles at Rewe and look at the shelf, and you see a bottle of olive oil. The supermarket buys it for about 3 euros wholesale and sells it to you for seven. The difference, the margin, is exactly what makes the shop owner rich. Every business on this planet is based on this one, almost primitive math. Buy or produce something cheaper to sell it again at a higher price. However, when it comes to our own working lives, we completely ignore this mechanism. We believe we stand above this game. But think about your last performance review. You probably put on your best suit, were scrutinized from head to toe, and in the end, the decision was made. The salary, which you might have even been happy about that day, is actually not generous terms. It's simply your bare purchase price. [music] It's exactly the sum that the company was willing to pay for you at most, so that its own accounts would still balance in the end. After all, in the corporate world, it's not called Human Resources for nothing. You are the raw material. Perhaps your ego rebels now and you think: "Nonsense, I'm not a product. I sit in the office, I'm a developer, I do creative marketing, I'm an engineer." But look closer. As a [music] developer writing code, you don't see the customer who will later pay 10,000 euros for the finished software that contains your piece of code. When you build a campaign in marketing, you don't directly see how it drives sales up by millions. But all these functions, your code, your campaign, your complex spreadsheets, ultimately serve only one purpose. They increase the profit margin for your boss's product, and your price must never eat into that margin. Until now, this cold logic has at least had one safety net for you. People could always only be replaced by other people, and other [music] people are also expensive. They get sick, they have bad days, they demand vacation, or they argue with colleagues. That was your leverage. As a human resource, you had a certain bargaining power because the alternative for your boss was just as expensive and exhausting. But this net has just been definitively torn, because now there is a completely new resource on the market. One that never gets tired, that doesn't need sleep, that works flawlessly at 3 AM and is guaranteed not to demand a raise the next morning. An artificial intelligence that does in one hour exactly what takes you three days, and that for an absolute fraction of your purchase price. Your boss looks at his resources at this moment. On the left, you: 4000 euros per month, 40-hour week, 30 days vacation. On the right, AI: 200 euros per month, available 24/7 in perfection. This is not a personal malicious decision against you. It's precisely this cool math, like with olive oil. And you don't have to like it, but you have to realize that this calculation is being made in the executive suites right now. The bitter reality is: you can no longer win this price war as an employee. AI will always be cheaper and more efficient than you, and it will always get better. Therefore, engrave this one sentence in your mind, because it is the most important lesson of this entire documentary. Either you have a product that you sell, or you are a product. The question is therefore no longer how to get another 200 euros more in your next salary negotiation. The question is how to stop being the interchangeable resource whose price is currently plummeting and how to switch sides instead. A very brief interjection on this. You now know that you have to break out of the system. So that you also know how, I have written down the exact shortcut for you, namely a concrete 30-day roadmap. It shows you day by day and step by step how to build your own automated online income. The plan normally costs 10 euros. But because you are watching this documentary and are obviously serious, I am giving it to you today. Just click on the first link in the description and download it completely for free. But back to the text, because I know exactly what's going through your head right now. You're probably thinking, that's all well and good, but I'm not an entrepreneur. I don't have startup capital and I don't like risk. Should I now found the next Amazon from my living room or what? Until recently, this objection was absolutely valid. Anyone who wanted to bring their own product to market used to need bank loans. A large team or a lot of luck. The hurdle was so high that entrepreneurship was only a game for people who were willing to risk their entire existence and invest an incredible amount of time and energy. But that world no longer exists, and here's the circle that closes, because precisely the same artificial intelligence that is making you completely superfluous as a cog is your ultimate weapon to become the machine builder yourself. Today, you don't build a company with 20 employees and a fancy office. You build something digital, a system that is based on your existing knowledge. You create it once, and then it sells itself completely automatically, again and again, without a warehouse, without loans, without you having to blindly quit your job. This is not theoretical daydreaming. There are already people who have built this own machine for themselves. Felix Kade, for example, earns between 5,000 and 25,000 euros automatically every month by helping people with back problems. Or Olga von Stein, who generated 10,000 euros in her first month with the same system. In the next videos, I will show you in detail how the two of them managed to do that. And don't worry, you don't need any experience or special skills for that. But before that, you need to internalize one more thing. AI makes you immediately replaceable as long as you remain part of the machine, but it makes you unstoppable if you use it to create something yourself. The only thing you need for that is a single, almost boring-sounding AI skill. A simple ability that will inevitably separate the winners from the losers in the coming years. And even if you have no idea about AI at all today, you can learn it in a few weeks. And that's exactly what the second part of the documentary is about. You can find the link to it here. It's best to watch the video right now. Have fun. By the way, if you don't see a video displayed here yet, then the second part will only appear in a few days.
