- Hey, Dan, should I get a job
[1]
or start my own business?
[3]
- If I hear this again, someone says,
[5]
Oh man, just quit your job
[6]
and start your business.
[9]
I just want to choke them.
[17]
They have no idea what the fuck they're talking about.
[20]
Starting a business is hard.
[22]
It's tough as hell
[24]
and chance of you making it as not high.
[27]
There's nothing wrong with getting a job to get started.
[31]
Most young people, you watching this.
[33]
I know if you're my fan, right?
[35]
You're asking me the question.
[36]
Hey, should I start a business?
[38]
Should I quit my job?
[40]
What you're actually saying is
[41]
I want to skip the process.
[43]
Let me just start a business.
[44]
And everything would be fine.
[46]
Knowing chances of you failing is 90 to 95%,
[50]
90 to 95% of small business fail in the first five years.
[54]
Chances of you dying financially is fucking high.
[58]
Even if you're naked 96% of the businesses.
[62]
This is statistics.
[63]
This is a fact,
[65]
never pass the million dollar Mark.
[68]
This is tough.
[70]
If you can't even get a fucking job,
[72]
no one would want to hire you.
[74]
You can't even have basic skill to make some income,
[77]
get some income coming in.
[79]
What qualifies you to start a business?
[82]
You can't even manage your own personal finance.
[84]
You've got no money.
[85]
You've got no ability to generate money.
[87]
And somehow I start a business
[89]
or somehow you'll be smarter.
[91]
Somehow you'll be fine.
[92]
Somehow everything would work.
[94]
Guess what? It doesn't work that way.
[96]
That's not how life works.
[97]
I started off with a job.
[100]
I had a job in a local supermarket, begging groceries,
[104]
stocking cans on the shelf, making minimum wage.
[107]
I paid the price.
[110]
I went through a tough times.
[111]
Most young people.
[112]
You want to skip that process? Skip that shit.
[115]
I'll just be an entrepreneur
[117]
and everything will be fine.
[118]
Good go for it.
[121]
You have no idea what it's like to own money.
[122]
You have no idea what it's like.
[125]
The pressure that it takes to make a business work.
[127]
You have no idea when you have to meet payroll,
[130]
you have no idea.
[131]
When you have to fire your best friend.
[133]
You don't know what that is like.
[135]
You can't even manage yourself.
[136]
And now you want to manage all that.
[137]
You want to lead all the people
[138]
who the fuck on the follow you
[140]
no one, no one.
[142]
You don't even have the discipline.
[143]
So it's not about getting a job or not.
[145]
It's about income.
[146]
You got to have some income coming in.
[148]
First, pay the fucking bills,
[150]
put food on the table.
[152]
Get that going first.
[154]
Nothing wrong with getting a job.
[156]
Don't be listening to all the people.
[158]
Oh yeah, job is bad, job is not bad.
[161]
Income is good.
[163]
Pay the bills, have some income,
[164]
take care of your family.
[165]
Do that first.
[166]
Get some income coming in.
[168]
Maybe two jobs for some of you.
[169]
You're not making enough on the weekends
[172]
in the evening
[173]
there you develop a high income skill.
[176]
Don't start a business yet,
[178]
you develop your high income skill.
[180]
I know dammit.
[181]
You're going to ask me what are the high income skills?
[183]
What are some of those high income skills.
[185]
Go to YouTube type in high-income skills,
[187]
there look fucking find it.
[188]
I've made a gazillion videos on this.
[190]
Can you even,
[191]
can you just handle that?
[193]
Can you fucking type and search?
[195]
Please do that first from there,
[198]
you'll see some of the potential high-income skills
[200]
you could develop
[201]
depends on your personality type.
[203]
Depends on what your natural strengths are.
[205]
Do that first, develop a high income skill,
[208]
making that 10 K a month, minimum six figure a year.
[213]
Then you go from there when you're ready,
[215]
meaning that you have equipped yourself
[218]
with some high-income skills.
[219]
You're making decent income.
[221]
You're putting some money aside.
[223]
Now, when you want to look into starting a business,
[227]
don't you think logically common sense.
[231]
You're in a much better position to start that business.
[235]
You are not fucking desperate.
[236]
You could wait because it takes time
[238]
to make a business work.
[240]
Now you have some basic people skills.
[243]
You could fucking talk to people,
[246]
not being afraid
[247]
because business is about people.
[249]
You could do that.
[250]
Then you start your business,
[252]
but you know what? Most of you watching this,
[254]
you don't want to wait. you want to do your thing.
[256]
Oh, I'm going to set up my thing.
[257]
I'm going to do my business good luck.
[260]
Fucking go do it.
[262]
Good luck, because some of you need
[264]
some school of hard knocks.
[266]
You need a reality, a wake up call.
[268]
That's what you need.
[270]
I made that fucking mistake.
[272]
I was $150,000 in debt
[274]
because I was naive.
[275]
I was fucking stupid.
[277]
And that's owe all that money.
[278]
And I'm glad I could pay it back.
[281]
But most people won't make it, right.
[283]
Most people will be stressed out
[284]
and I was stressing out.
[287]
And that's why now I tell all my students,
[289]
all my fans developed a high income skill first,
[293]
be patient with that, right?
[296]
Be patient with the result.
[298]
Be inpatient with a skill development,
[300]
but be patient with the results.
[303]
And then you go from there.
[305]
You've got time, you're young, right?
[307]
You're 18, you're 19, you're 20 somewhat years old.
[310]
I know you feel like you don't have time.
[311]
You have got fucking time.
[313]
Don't tell me, you've got no time.
[315]
It's going to take you some time.
[317]
I'm a 10 year overnight success.
[320]
And I consider myself pretty fucking smart.
[323]
Right? It's going to take you some time.
[324]
You're not going to get there in one year.
[326]
You're not going to get there in two years.
[327]
You're not going to get there in five years.
[328]
Chances are, you're not even going to get there in 10 years.
[330]
And I know you're going to comment below
[332]
I am the exception.
[334]
I'm going to be a millionaire in 24 months.
[337]
Go ahead, I'm not talking to you.
[340]
I'm talking to people whose got some sense.
[341]
Whose got some common sense
[343]
that are willing to work.
[345]
They're willing to pay the price
[347]
they're willing to put in the effort.
[349]
They're willing to improve themselves,
[351]
not watching fucking motivational video
[353]
after another motivational video
[355]
and hoping that all your life is changing.
[357]
Your life is not changing
[358]
until you change your skill
[359]
until you change your mindset.
[361]
Comment below, if you actually, this is sinking in.
[365]
Now, you know what you need to do?
[367]
You need to quit your job
[369]
or should you get a job
[370]
when should you started your business?
[371]
I think of as this question once
[374]
and for all
[374]
- $300, boom, super unexpected.
[379]
The prospect came out of nowhere
[382]
and basically told me
[385]
what he needed.
[387]
So unexpected, woo, I'm happy though.
[392]
- You can do the same.
[393]
You don't have to spend like
[395]
$1,500 on a pet or something
[397]
or 260 bucks on a book,
[400]
but make sure
[401]
that you drive with something extremely valuable; golden pen
[404]
or whatever means wealth to you.
[407]
Because this person consciously
[409]
trained you to associate your daily habits with wealth,
[413]
which means you're trained your unconscious mind
[415]
to see it as about the generation,
[417]
which switches your mindset
[418]
to be able to get more high ticket.
[420]
I noticed once I did that, I learned it from Sifu.
[423]
Once I noted a did that,
[424]
I noticed that everything else I did
[426]
became more valuable, more high ticket,
[428]
and it might push you out of your comfort zone,
[430]
but it's valuable to do so, anyways,
[432]
hope that helps.
[433]
Let me know what you have as a wealth trigger
[435]
and would love to see that.

- Hi HIC
[438]
This is Tom from season three.
[440]
My first client I got at the beginning of June
[443]
got gotten through the book work
[445]
and yeah, at the start.
[447]
It was really tough.
[448]
I was putting out loads of offers
[450]
for lots of clients.
[452]
Not really gaining anything,
[453]
but eventually somebody said yes.
[456]
And it was such an amazing feeling
[458]
when that happened,
[459]
because it gave me the confidence
[462]
that the realize that somebody wanting to work with me,
[464]
what's more powerful is ever since then,
[467]
everything I've done for him, he's loved it.
[469]
And he just keeps asking me to write more and more work.
[472]
To the extent now
[473]
that they moved away from the work
[474]
I made a monthly retainer with him.
[476]
So I'm writing email sequences,
[478]
baseball cards, all the posts I've recently done,
[480]
even opt in page.
[482]
So it just snowballs
[484]
and it just takes that one client.
[487]
Thanks very much HIC.
