This small, but subtle change in perspective is easily missed, but probably had one of the biggest impacts on me. This is what it is, and how this led to me being on Million Dollar Listing - Twice. Enjoy! Feel free to add me on Snapchat/Instagram: GPStephan

Even though I tend to make mostly financial analysis videos, or videos on real estate or investing, behind all of it is a fine distinction between understanding the information you’re watching and actually utilizing it. It’s probably the reason why many people who watch my videos unfortunately don’t do anything with the information, there’s only a very small percentage of you who will actually follow through.
It’s understanding the relationship between being at the CAUSE of something, or being at the EFFECT of what’s going on around you. Think of it this way - in everything we do, there are two types of people: one type which CAUSES things to happen, and another that REACTS to what’s going on around them. Imagine it like you’re neck deep in the ocean and you have waves constantly hitting you, pushing you in a certain direction - and you’re exerting energy in REACTION to those waves, versus being the wave that’s having an effect on everything in its path.
So just think - right now, are you taking control of your life in accomplishing what you want? Are you the cause of what’s going on in your life and are you the one making things happen? Or are you the one who’s focusing on what other people are doing, reacting to those around you, and getting swayed by the effect of the waves?
This very subtle shift in perspective was really a light-bulb moment for me. Here I was, two years ago, WISHING I could make YouTube videos myself but instead, I came up with a million excuses of why I couldn’t do it and I’d just watch other people on YouTube actually doing what I wanted to do. …but once I understood that you have the choice to either be at the CAUSE of something, or be EFFECTED by the things going around you, I decided - “screw it” I’m going to be at the cause, and I’m going to be the one making YouTube videos rather than the one watching them.
Think of it in your own life - are you the one actually taking the initiative, are you behind the curtains making things happen - or are you just casually watching everything else going on around you, and you’re at the whim of chance? Just by this small change, and understanding that you have the choice to be at the cause, you can begin to create whatever reality you want.
It’s easy when you start here - how can YOU be like the person you want to be? How would that person act? How can you be the type of person to give value in some way or another? What can you start doing now that will lead you in that direction, instead of you being influenced by everything going on around you? Once you tune out the distractions, you realize that you’re the one who really has total control over where you focus your time and how you take the initiative to put everything you’ve learned into becoming the CAUSE and making things happen. You really end up getting what you focus on.
Understanding this difference has the potential to really lead you life in a more purposeful direction, where you can create your own reality and decide what you do, rather than be the one reacting to everything else going on around you. It’s really about taking the initiative to get what you want and make it happen, rather than relying on chance occurrences to bring you what you want.

My wife was watching million dollars listing and I saw Graham Stephens. I was like I know that kid.
I just saw you on one of the episodes with you in it, and quickly went to your channel to see if you made a video on it lol.
damn, young Graham looking good
oh man, it's so cool that you were on the show
This was so perfect for me to hear today! Love this motivation Graham!
lmao i picked up my phone when i heard the sound effect
That's so cool! I am so proud ;')
Don't be so modest. Chicks dig aquarium forum moderators.
omg you were at those tv-shows 🙂 nice job youre the doer!
I'm glad I clicked on this video that I missed. Really needed it. Great stuff. Always dropping likes.
Omg the aquarium forum story was the cutest thing i ever heard!!!!😍😍😍😍😍😍
You've come a long way my friend!! Well done!
Graham you were very passionate about this fish aquarium. I bet you seen some awesome species.
I had a question for you. Can being a real estate agent be a full time career? I am only 20 and wanted to get my license but wanted to make sure this is something I could make a career. It would be super helpful for your advise! Thank you.
You take million dollar actions.
You deserve more subscribers
Hi Graham! Firstly, thank you so much for all of your videos – they have helped me immensely to understand the life and future that I want to build for myself. Tiny bit of background information for you here, I truly LOVE real estate and everything about it, not just the money. Although money is a strong source of motivation, what I really care about id being able to wake up every day and be seriously excited and ready to work – that balance of happiness and passion surrounding what I do as well as financial security for myself and my future family. I plan to not only sell houses for commission, but also buy houses of my own to rent to others. The idea of renovation is also something that I love very much. Overall, there is no question in my mind that this is the industry for me – I have big goals for my future and on the surface of them all, one of my biggest goals is to make money work for me, not the other way around. And, of course, generating multiple sources of passive income is something that everybody should be striving towards.
But, here is my issue, being 16 years old and living in the UK I am struggling to understand what I can do NOW in order to get into real estate and build my career. The real estate market appears to have a very different dynamic here when compared with the US and there is very little information to be utilised with regards to real estate in the UK, either that or I am not doing a very good job at exposing myself to it.
I am not entirely sure what my question to you here is, but any advice or wisdom that I could use to help me would be amazing. Thank you so much 🙂
Just curious how someone gets the financial backing to invest in Real Estate? Should a serious person start a business and get business loans or do it all off personal credit and qualifications?
this is one the best videos graham keep up the good content
More BEEEEE CONEEEEEE Clips plz
"another one" great vid bro.. keep up the good work
You think anyone can do what you did or it’s just something in certain people?
Excellently said, inspiring!
Ok
Hi! Graham. Had a quick question about credits cards. In one of your videos you said having more credit cards are good to have IF YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE so that you can lower your usage percentage. Then you went to say that when you get a credit card(s) sometimes for whatever reason you credit score goes down. And that if it does it goes back to normal as if. I thing ever happened after 6 months of opening that new credit line. Well my question is my score went from 751 to 718 due to the fact I opened up credit cards not waiting 6 months. Will my score go back up the way it was after 6 months like you said?
Do you have a Twitter?
I just subscribed, great content. I live in Los Angeles and been killing it in rental industry 600k gross 💪🏽💪🏽 inspiring me to hit the 1mil mark
