Do THIS if You're BROKE

So look, you're

broke

and, frankly, that's okay as long as you make a conscious decision to change your life circumstances or go back to eating Cheetos and playing Fortnite. Honestly, it's up to you, but if you're watching

this

video, I really want to congratulate you. because you took the first step and the first step is to recognize that you are not where you want to be and accept the fact that it is in your power to change that so if you watch

this

full video I will show you. Exactly how to evaluate your current situation, look at your strengths, your weaknesses and how to use them to your advantage to go from bankruptcy to financial prosperity.

Now, the first thing you need to do is honestly evaluate your assets and I'm not talking about your actual situation. asset portfolio or your stock portfolio or your crypto. I mean the advantages that you have, like the intangible assets that you have in your life, you have to understand that in this world you get paid according to the value or the problems that you solve. They all have competitive advantages, some are born naturally and others are cultivated. You need to play to your advantages and interestingly enough, if you live in your mom's basement, you still have an advantage and I'll tell you what it is in just a second.

Now there is an advantage and as everyone understands, the more money you have, the more money you can make with said money, well that's out of the window according to the title, you're

broke

, so that's not an advantage you have, so what? what are some of the others? assets that you can lean on, well the first one is hard work, it bothers me a little because sometimes there are a lot of self-help people, you know, they talk about hard work as if everyone works hard or it's something that easy. It's like, oh yeah, you just work hard and you'll succeed, yeah, sure, but the reason we admire people who work hard is because it's not a very common trait and most people aren't going to possess that trait. and I'll be honest.

I'm not particularly the hardest working person, I just have other personality traits that I really leaned on and that propelled me to my level of success. Now keep in mind that between the ages of 14 and 18 19 even 20 hard work was the main thing I was still leaning towards. I wouldn't consider myself the hardest worker in the room by any means, but I earned my stripes and that's the key to all of you who see this need to earn your stripes, hard work, dedication and discipline, it is very, very important. I know there is no way around that to reach your six figure goal, although this may sound very strange to you, but you can go from seven to eight figures while working much less, being more careless with your habits, less discipline, all of this. . things because you actually rely on different mechanisms to move from that stage to the next.

Another thing I want to mention is when I started almost this 10 year journey back in 2014 when I started my first business which was Changing Instagram Accounts when I started reading a book a week and started meditating every day. I think back then it was a lot easier to focus than in the world we live in now with short content and Tick Tock and all that. these distractions, you know it seems like every year there are more and more distractions, so if you're one of those people who happens to be an extremely hard worker, a person who can really focus on a task without getting distracted, that's a big plus and that's something which most people don't possess in the time we live in, but like I said, you don't need to be David Goggins, you know what it's like when you fight with someone and you break down so much, he's like oh God.

Man, I don't want to go back to the next round and you feel like my God, I can fight all day and I think about all the different assets that I want you to evaluate in your life that I'll show you later. In fact, you can make a game plan for what vehicle I am going to use to achieve financial abundance. Like I said, the discipline of hard work is a given, but don't think that being the hardest worker is what will really drive you. For the success of all four, I would say it's probably the third most important, maybe even the fourth most important.

Now the next asset you can have is your skills, but the problem is that most people specialize in minor things. I'll give you a perfect example. video games I know gamers get a lot of negative reactions from people you know when they say to me, oh, but you don't understand that games help me socialize or there are people who make millions from games and I'm like, yeah, you know the people who earn millions with games, they don't, do you know why? Because people who make millions from gaming don't comment on my YouTube videos and say no, but there are people who make millions from games and I say that's cool, but they clearly aren't, so I don't know. why are you trying to defend it and that's a perfect example of people specializing in minor things.

Great, you're done, can you even finish Fortnite like you completed fifteen days or completed? some video game or I don't know, you got some ranking in some cool, cool world, you specialized in something minor, something that is irrelevant to the quality of your life, something that is irrelevant to building a beautiful future for you and your family, you specialized . on something so minor that your son will never be like oh dad, mom told me you were so good that I had Call of Duty back in the day, you know, that makes me so proud that you're my, they don't care so stop specialize. in minor things and, by the way, it is very important to have hobbies.

I recently started taking tennis lessons several times a week. Am I going to become a professional tennis player? No, but I have my businesses. I have my skills to do me a lot. many, many millions a year and now I have my Hobby side and by the way, I think if I started playing now because a lot of people will give me the example of Elon Musk, Elon Musk is allowed to play, he is allowed to play a little to take. You don't think about it, I don't think it's necessarily the smartest thing to do because it's so easy to get hooked, but if you do or let's say I started playing, okay, that's acceptable, like I said, don't get consumed by something that's not.

They will pay you if you no longer have anything in your life that allows you to pay much more than anything, the best asset you can have in life is your skills, because no matter what life throws at you, let's say you use everything. If you have your skills, you can get back to the top of the mountain very, very quickly, so there are certain skills that are very useful for the rest of your life, no matter what you are doing, like sales marketing, even things like Excel spreadsheets. I can't tell you the number of people I know who say, Hey, who do you use for Excel spreadsheets or do you know how you put the spreadsheet together?

I don't know how to use the Excel spreadsheet, but there are people in my company who get paid. very, very well, they know how to use things like that, things like accounting, things like editing, if you have skills in one of those areas, consider this as an asset that you have in your life, you know, it's funny every time I'm considering whether or No, you should learn a set of skills and by the way, this is outside of hobbies. I'm always thinking, hey, as I live with the businesses I have, this applies, but let's say I go into a totally different industry. a totally different life path in 10 or 20 years, this would be a skill set that is Evergreen?

Is this a skill set that will be beneficial for the rest of my life and if the answer is yes, then I will always have a strong interest in learning? Now the next asset you can have is a strong network, but the most important thing is that you need a good nap job and to be in an industry where that network really brings you value and many people have made a full-time living simply by having a solid network. network, but first you need to figure out and be very honest with yourself how strong your network is.

Actually, you know. I see a lot of people talk about how strong their network is and then they do a little research and what they mean is there are three. friends from high school, you know one went on to be a junior assistant at this company and another went on to work at Goldman Sachs and then another went on to work at HSBC as a very low-level manager, you know, a lot of people really overestimate the value of their network because just remember your network is not who you know, your network is who you can call for a favor at 3 am in the morning, no matter what it is, that person will do it for you, that's your network, no who you I've had a couple of DM exchanges back and forth on Instagram and now we move on to the other point I mentioned, which is that it's one thing to have a network and another thing to have a network that makes you money and this is what I mean with that.

I was hanging out with my friend a couple of days ago and his network is crazy. You know, he is a friend of the milkmen. Many of the rappers. Many of the biggest restaurant owners. people when they go to Miami can contact him for connections and tables and this and that, or you know, if someone wants to go to Monaco F1 or wants to get tickets to UFC, you know this person is so well connected that he can organize all that. So because your connections are so strong and it took you so many years to build those connections, you can actually monetize per request, whereas for me, for example, I have an extremely strong network, but my network doesn't help my software company. in no way to shape or fashion, my network has almost nothing to do with my net worth.

I've built on my network because you know you get to a certain point in life where you like having other very, very high value people around you. It's very nice to be able to fall back. favors from you I know so many people and no matter what country I go to, I receive special treatment because of the people I know and because of my close network, but at the end of the day that doesn't do anything extra for me. money make a decision about the industry or path you want to follow in life and then even if you have a strong network, be honest with yourself if your network actually ends up making you more money and is an asset to your financial abundance because, like I said that even in my situation my network basically has nothing to do with my financial abundance.

Now the last asset you can own is time and I actually mean this in two areas of life and the first is the amount of time you have now. and the second is the amount of time you have left in life, basically your timeline in life. Now the first scope is self explanatory, obviously if you have more time that means you can spend more time freelancing and becoming someone's apprentice. to start your own online business whatever it is you decide to do whatever vehicle you decide to use to achieve financial freedom and abundance of course the more time you have the more beneficial it will be and part of that too I guess is gentle. of your safety net if you have a remote job and you only need to log into your job two three hours a day because you know you work for a very bloated company that doesn't actually know if you're performing well or not because no one is performing well In the company, no one really knows what they are doing in the company.

You can work two or three hours remotely and then you can spend the rest of the day basically trying to build your online business or let's say you're in a situation where you live with your parents, you might even be 22 23 after universe at your university and you know you have a year or two of basically zero expenses, so you know you have time to go out and focus on your entrepreneurial efforts, so obviously the more time you have in a day in the present moment, Self-explanatory, the greater your chances of achieving financial abundance and never being broke again, but this is something most people don't really do.

Talking enough is the macro perspective. Listen, if you're under 28, you have a huge advantage. By the way, I'm talking primarily to men here, all women, obviously my information still applies, but you have to understand my biology. My father was an abusive alcoholic so I have been through a lot of adversity and struggle in my life to get to this point so forgive me sometimes when I talk specifically to men I would have loved if someone could have given me this information. He was either growing up or trying to navigate the world, but anyway, back to my point, men specifically peak between the ages of 32 and 38.

A woman at 29 has much more pressure to get married and have children and, by the way, that is not like social pressure, it is as if she were honest with herself, she wanted it and she knows that at 34 she will have many fewer possibilities than at 34. We are 29, while men at 34 are much more attractive than at 29 if we continue to work on ourselves and take a step forward day after day, so the reason I say this is if you are broke at the age of 29 years as a man because there really isn't much of a rush to get married or have kids for the next three. years of your life dedicate every hour without having to worry about a partner or anything else to become a millionaire, that's the good thing, so when I talk about time being, of all these, the greatest advantage, you must understand that everyone have.

These big aspirations about what they're going to do in the next 12 months and most of the time they don't come true,but most people write off what they can do on a multi-year timeline, so like I said, if you're watching this and you're 27 years old 29 years old, but I mean, if you're 22 years old, you know, like me, or if you're 19 or 16 years old, I mean it's basically hard-coded that in the next five years you're going to be a millionaire if you're watching content like this on YouTube and you actually absorb it and use it, it's basically hard-coded.

I mean, maybe it doesn't take five years, maybe it takes seven years, but time is by far your greatest asset and if you're in your teens or anyone in your 20s they have such a huge advantage it's ridiculous that they have, by far the biggest advantage and you know this is also why I find it funny sometimes when people try to compare me to other people in the business or online. The space people I'm compared to are literally in their 30s, like they're 10+ years old to me, and sometimes the comparisons seem a little superfluous to me, frankly, because I'm 22, plus I've won 30 million dollars.

I'm already in incredible shape. I have traveled a lot. I have gone through a lot of pain, trauma, and adversity to build my character to the point that today I have businesses and verticals that generate more than 10 million dollars a year. I mentioned before. I have a crazy networking list that goes on and on and on and you might hear all that and think I'm bragging. No, the reason I say that is because of all the things I've listed, my number one advantage is time from a macro perspective, if you could give me everything I have now and make me be 40 years old or take a machine from time and having to start at 22 without any of my achieved accolades, achievements, money, anything.

I'll go back to 22. If you're watching this time, the biggest advantage is that you have time. It really is an incredible phenomenon and most of the people you're looking at online were broke into their 30s and 20s. Listen. to that again, most people you admire were literally broke by the age of 30 and here you are looking at this at 25 and you're like, oh I could never achieve what that person achieved, look at their accolades and look You've got time and if you are someone who uses time to your advantage, you can achieve anything. Now that we've gone over the four assets you can own, which is hard work, your current skill sets your network and then time, especially from a macro. perspective, you can really write all this down and say, hey, what areas of my life do I have advantages in?

And then from there you can choose the next step in your life and I'll give you three life options from here, the first one. one is starting an online business now. I don't want to touch on this too much in this video earlier this year. I made a video where I basically evaluate the sixth seven most common online business models for me, which is my favorite option for people because you can use leverage, the best part of this is that if you put the systems and processes in place, You can leverage other people's resources or time depending on the business model you choose, and you can actually get paid by using a concept called arbitrage, which is basically what Uber Airbnb all these companies do on a larger scale.

I'll link that video below. Now your next option is to use your existing skill set to earn a good income, for example, if you are good at sales. If you are good at editing, if you are good at these things, then you can acquire these skills and the most important thing is how you position it and who you sell these services to, because keep in mind that you could just be an editor and get paid 2500 a month. month or you can frame your service as a performance editor and get paid six thousand dollars a month. The only difference is that you say "hey" instead of just editing it. "Looks good.

I'll edit it to retain retention is the most important thing." And you know, when you're selling to the customer, you say, "Hey, out of the 10,000 people who watch your video, with my video, 3,500 people will watch it all the way, while another person will just get by." just so you know 1200 people watched me until the end so i get three times as many views as them so of course i'm going to charge twice as much so the point is it's not just about having a skill set , but also knowing how to formulate it and how to sell it to the right person, organization, company, and if you can make your ROI clear, companies will pay for it.

I mean, I have people in my company that make between 18 and 20,000 a month and by the way, these are not my top management positions, you know, my CEO, my CMO, those types of positions and some of my companies, because some of those positions between base and performance, you know, they make over fifty thousand dollars a month, so I'm not even talking. about those positions, I'm literally talking about the typical employees, some of these people literally make almost a quarter of a million dollars a year because of the performance, the skill set that they bring and the way that they can actually quantify the money that that generates. .

Back to business, so I would say for anyone with a pre-existing skill set, this is actually the best place to start to take your skill set, find the right way to package it and frame it and then not feel any shame. for working for a company. As long as the salary is good and you have the ability to continue moving up and you know how to improve your earning potential and the last option is to become an apprentice or a free intern for a company, this is very, very important because I see people make this mistake . all the time don't think that just because you have free time you are valuable to a company let me tell you that again you can join a company and go, I will work for you for free okay?

And what about the business owner who now needs it? spend or allocate company resources spend 40 hours training him, now it's cost the company more than it's worth, especially I see this all the time, you know, on Instagram I get literally hundreds of DMS a day, I'd say probably from those probably 50 of them are people who say: I will literally fly around the world. I will leave everything. I'll work for you and that's okay, what can you do? Do you have any proof of work? What is the quality of your work if people were? Smart people would say, hey, I will work for you for the next three months for free to prove my quality and then this is what I would like to be paid, here is my quality of work if after the 90 days you tell me, hey This is not It's up to par and I don't want to bother you, so there's no hard feelings.

I've had some good experiences. You got free work, we'll shake hands and move on. That's the right way to try it. To find an apprenticeship or a free internship, I'd rather just be the bearer of bad news and just give you a real understanding of how the real world works rather than make a fool of yourself over and over again trying to get close. to all these companies, influencers or business people who are trying to get an apprenticeship or an internship and just doing it the wrong way and by the way, especially if you are 15 16 18 19 20 years old and you really don't need to worry. too much about bills.

I think there's absolutely nothing wrong with working for a company for free, earning your stripes, you know, learning the ins and outs of an industry you want to get into, so ladies and gentlemen, I'm shouting out to you because I care. It can be a little harsh at times, but that's because I'm one of the few people who actually cares about your success, so I'll tell you the hard truth if you enjoyed this video and want some ideas of the best side hustles. To start off this year, definitely watch that video, it'll give you some really good ideas and I'll talk in more detail there.
