I am using gravity as a metaphor for societal norms because both are invisible omnipresent forces that our universe relies on for stability. Both can also be constraining and if not understood could force stagnation

Have you ever wondered why some people seem destined to rise (cream always rises to the top) while others spend their entire lives feeling like something invisible is holding them down?

It’s not always talent.

It’s not always intelligence.

It’s not always opportunity.

Sometimes, it’s gravity.

Now, before you think I’ve lost my mind, I’m not talking about the gravity that keeps your feet on the ground. I’m talking about the invisible forces that shape our lives—forces we can’t see but feel every single day.

My name is Vendarryl Jenkins, host of the Zero to One Million Podcast, author of Zero to One Million and Coaching Keith: The AMASI Technique. My passion is economic empowerment because I believe financial freedom isn’t reserved for a lucky few. It’s available to ordinary people who learn to think differently, act intentionally, and develop the discipline to break through the invisible barriers that keep most people exactly where they are.

Let’s make money while we sleep, I see you, I have been you and now I want to empower you

Today, I want to talk about defying gravity.

Zero to One Million Podcast

Episode Title:

Are You Economically Institutionalized?

Length: Approximately 20 Minutes

Opening

Welcome back to the Zero to One Million Podcast, where we challenge conventional thinking about money, success, entrepreneurship, and freedom.

Today’s question is simple but powerful:

Are you economically institutionalized?

Most people understand institutionalization when it comes to prisons, mental long-term care facilities or government welfare systems. After enough time inside of any system, people begin to think, act, and make decisions based on the rules of that system. Eventually, they become uncomfortable operating outside of it. That is institutionalized.

What if I told you the same thing happens in economic systems? Part of Economic Empowerment is to understand the system called the Rat Race.

What if many people have been conditioned from childhood to believe there is only one acceptable path to survival and success? My wife has spent 39 years with the government and every time she talks about retirement people say you can’t do it, what will you do with your time, you are giving up your position and status you can’t do it. That’s Institutionalized thinking.

Today, we’re going to explore the difference between economic security and economic freedom, why some people are comfortable in structured systems, why others struggle within them, and what it takes to break free from economic dependency.

Welcome back to the Zero to One Million Podcast, where we challenge conventional thinking about money, success, entrepreneurship, and economic freedom. I am your host Vendarryl Jenkins, I am the author of the books Zero to One Million and Coaching Keith the AMASI and the Facebook page Zero to One Million. We are a whole economic empowerment vibe.

“Are Your Prices Right?”

I want you to think its Not just what you charge…
But what your prices say about you.

Pricing is deeper than math. you have some people that are just pecking away on a calcualtor.
Pricing is psychology. Psychological set
Pricing is branding. a distinct identity that you set that people perceive good things about you and your product
Pricing is confidence.
Pricing is positioning. a price that’s fair but show the quality relative to competition

A lot of people struggle with pricing because they fear rejection.
They fear people saying:
“That’s too expensive.”
Or:
“I can get it cheaper somewhere else.”

But if you price yourself too low, you may accidentally tell the world:
