Aside from being an entrepreneur, Ed Mylett is also a peak performance expert. When considering how Mylett made his money, we can ask ourselves whether his accumulation of wealth and his status as a peak performance expert linked in some way, and was he already wealthy before his popularity as a motivational speaker?
Ed Mylett initially made his wealth in the world of marketing, working for and rising to the top of World Financial Group, Inc. Starting from 2017 onwards, Mylett began to break into social media, which has also added to his net worth.
Even long before becoming a peak performance lifestyle guru, Mylett was already well on his way to becoming the multi-millionaire that he is today. That initial bedrock of wealth was developed through his skills in the finance world.
Investing In The Youth
The kind of business that Mylett built his wealth around is the sort that naturally attracts business focused and wealth driven individuals. There’s nothing wrong with either of those focuses, but Mylett’s goals were entirely different.
You never know in what shape or form the catalyst for our success and our goals will take shape, whether it will be a specific event that sparks off the motivation or a series of events that lead to a eureka moment.
For Mylett, that moment was working at an orphanage for boys. Even though he was by no means born into wealth, seeing disenfranchised young boys that had been the victims of different kinds of abuse taught Mylett an important lesson.
The lesson he learned at the orphanage was that one of the fundamental factors in success, and the sole thing that the boys he was working with wanted, was love and encouragement. The absence or presence of those two things had the potential to be the divide between success and failure in life.
Investing In Himself
As we evolve and grow, our reasons for continuing to develop also change. For Mylett, seeing the living conditions of those less fortunate than himself proved to be the fuel he needed to make his fortune, but he had begun to stagnate.
In his motivational pieces, Mylett talks a lot about your “internal temperature”, his way of symbolizing the condition that you feel your own life should be in. Mylett had reached the limit of what he had set out for himself with the life he built.
A multi-millionaire, with multiple homes, a family, and a private life that he valued, Mylett was at his current ceiling. A phone call from the well-known speaker and life guru Tony Robbins was the deciding factor in Mylett changing the direction of his life.
Now, instead of resting on the wealth that he had created from his time at World Financial Group, he was going to invest in himself. That investment came in the form of building his social media presence, an entirely different world from the one that he was used to occupying.
Many motivational speakers and gurus will encourage their listeners and fans to find role models, people who can help them succeed through a combination of belief and wisdom. It turns out that Mylett’s best role model for the unplanted seeds of his new social media career was his son.
Mylett called his son and enlisted his aid with the creation of his social media profiles, ready to build himself a platform to make his voice heard.
New Beginnings on Social Media
Breaking into social media, a platform that is already jam-packed full of big ideas and even bigger personalities, can be difficult even when you are a veteran of the trade, nevermind a newcomer like Mylett was.
Not about to let inexperience stop him, with the aid of his son and a motivational boost from Tony Robbins, Mylett was out to reach as many people as possible with his message. His approach was all part of the philosophy that he preaches, to dive headfirst into whatever you do and give it one hundred percent.
Part of his ability to push his maxim is the fact that he has the lifestyle to back up his claims, all built from his time working with World Financial Group. That combination of skills and being the right man at the right time has led him to become one of the fastest-growing social media stars.
