If there ever was a prime example of following your dreams and achieving the highest level of success, Arnold Schwarzenegger takes the top position. Coming from a middle-class family in Austria, Schwarzenegger dreamed big of making it to the United States and becoming a bodybuilding legend. He achieved that and so much more in multiple fields. However, he never really did it for the money, but for the love and passion he has for each of his endeavors, starting with bodybuilding. Today, at 75 years of age, as he reveals nearly every secret to his newsletter family, he recalls how he once made millions from bricklaying work and real estate. But the people he helps always come first.

Arnold Schwarzenegger started a daily newsletter called ‘Arnold’s Pump Club’ in January 2023. The members and regular subscribers of the newsletter, whom he refers to as his “village,” are no less than his extended family. Just like his real family, they mean the world to him, and he doesn’t just want to monetize the newsletter for profit.

In a recent tweet by Arnold Schwarzenegger, he talked about his mindset while sharing fitness and health tips through his newsletter. His tweet read, “We have 5,000 founding members improving the app right now, but the newsletter is available to everyone and that’s the place I’ll release app codes as we slowly grow. We don’t want to be like these Silicon Valley companies that get out over their skis. http://arnoldspumpclub.com”. He was responding to someone’s inquiry about a “referral code” to join the “village”.

Schwarzenegger is particularly proud of his newsletter family, which he calls “the village” for the 431,000 members in it. He is proud of all the good it did for various people and how it has been changing lives for the better. The 75-year-old still shows impeccable discipline and responds almost every time to queries from subscribers regarding better health and an overall improved style of living. However, his dig at Silicon Valley was to indicate how he does none of it for money.

His claim is particularly true when one delves into his life much farther back. When Schwarzenegger first came to the States, even though he was in dire need of money, he never really compromised his passion and love for money.
