Multi-Millionaire Explains His Simple Steps to Self-Made Success - YouTube
Channel: Motivation2Study
[1]
Actually being successful or like moving out
of our mom's basement or whatever
[5]
we put so much energy
and time into the presentation
[10]
of not looking like that situation
[12]
instead of putting the energy
and time into actually
[16]
finding a solution to that issue.
And so at that point
[19]
it was like okay I've been putting
a lot of time and effort
[23]
trying to pretend things are good
[26]
instead of actually
trying to find solutions
[28]
and then, that's when I started to
[31]
do everything I needed to do to try
to make money and just really...
[35]
when I say embrace
it's not necessarily like
[37]
accept it for what it is
it's almost like, "Okay, this is real
[41]
I need to figure this out."
[43]
Taking your surroundings
you take in the people around you
[45]
you see how they're making money
[47]
and I just didn't like
begging people for money.
[49]
And so I respected the guys
that were like figuring out hustles
[53]
right? And so,
[54]
for instance, there was an Amaco
right down the street from me
[58]
and so, I would go there and I would
wash windshields and make money
[61]
just try to save up enough money
to just be in a motel for the night
[64]
and I mean like the nastiest motel
[66]
but for me it was just
[68]
taking in my environment,
seeing how other people hustled
[71]
how I can do it better.
[73]
Someone taught me how to play
drums on buckets and things like that.
[76]
And so, you know, I just
tried to do any type of hustle
[80]
that I could.
[81]
I just started to learn
[83]
how others were moving
and kind of adapted throughout.
[88]
For me, it's...
[90]
it's opening your mind
and opening yourself to people.
[92]
I think a lot of people
[94]
they are ignorant, they are..
Like rejecting change.
[99]
Travel
[101]
get out of your comfort zone,
[102]
meet people from all different
types of backgrounds.
[104]
If you want to build a product
or service or company
[107]
that you want to build at scale
[109]
and your friends are only the homies
that you've been hanging out with since
[113]
you know, middle school.
[115]
Probably should meet some more people,
[117]
get to know them, travel the world.
[119]
You know, and even if you
don't have the resources to travel
[122]
the internet, learn about different
cultures, learn about different people.
[125]
You're at that computer
you tell me what you want to do
[128]
I tell you, this is how you search
[130]
this is... this is how
you find those resources.
[133]
Now you got to actually go and learn.
[136]
You have to be able to show people
that there's other options
[140]
and that's what
spreading seeds is all about.
[143]
Showing people that they can
actually do something different.
[151]
There's one thing being homeless
[153]
but there's another thing having
everything taken away from you.
[163]
I was literally living out of my car
[166]
and so, even though I was homeless
[168]
I was still trying to uphold
the appearance of
[172]
everything being okay.
[173]
When that moment happened
it was like, Whoa
[176]
this is rock bottom, because now
[180]
all my clothes are gone,
[182]
all the cool shoes,
all the things that were material
[185]
umm that you know, I tried to fake it
until I figured things out were gone.
[190]
Now and not only that
[192]
all the the the elements, so...
[195]
now rain and snow and all these
things can get in the car.
[197]
So it was like mildewy and smelly
and so I smelled, right!
[201]
And so for me in that moment I understood
[205]
that wow this is...
I thought things were bad
[208]
but things are really
really bad at this point.
[211]
And now I can't pretend anymore,
I just have to really embrace this
[215]
I think a lot of times
when we're going through things
[218]
we kind of try to figure out
[220]
how we're going to finesse our way into...
[222]
people not knowing that things,
things are wrong
[225]
instead of just saying this is my life
[227]
this is real now.
[230]
You have like these brief moments
of kind of peace
[233]
until like the next
accident happens, right?
[236]
And that's just life in general.
[238]
You know it's never going to be
complete smooth sailing.
[241]
One of the things that
I鈥檝e noticed about a lot of people
[243]
is that they let the hardships
and the things that happen in their life
[247]
failure stop them from
[249]
like Aaliyah says, you know,
"Dust yourself off and try again" right?
[253]
And for me, I鈥檝e just never let
[256]
anything or anybody prevent me
from achieving what I want to achieve
[261]
so I鈥檝e always had
this relentless mentality.
[264]
And if you say I can't do something
[266]
if I fail, if I you know, mess up
[269]
it just motivates me even more,
I just become even more hungry
[272]
and so I鈥檝e always just had this
[274]
you know, relentless mentality.
[276]
I don't take, you know, no for an answer,
[278]
I don't take failure
or accept failure at all
[281]
and it's just always been kind of
in my heart to not give up.
[285]
It's the rose that grows
from concrete, right?
[287]
It's like no matter how
terrible a situation is,
[292]
no matter how bad it is
[294]
there's still going to be a rose
that grows from that concrete.
[297]
And I feel like I was that, right?
[299]
No matter what my situation was
I was built for this.
[305]
I was not going to let myself fail
[309]
right! and I had that mentality
[311]
and I understand that
[313]
now, that I grew from that concrete
I鈥檓 starting to plant my seeds
[316]
and there's more roses growing.
[324]
What's so special
about the internet now is
[327]
really anything you want
to do you can learn.
[330]
Like if you want to learn how to code,
if you want to be a developer,
[332]
you want to build software,
you want to build apps
[335]
you can literally go on YouTube
and learn how to code.
[339]
And so, what I would tell that person is
[342]
what do you want to do?
[344]
Tell me anything, what do you want to do?
[346]
Right?
[347]
Now, there's resources
and there's things online
[351]
that can help you build yourself
into whatever that is.
[354]
So I think that- that kid
at the end of the day
[357]
he has to have that kind of just,
[360]
"I got to make this happen"
[362]
right? Here's the thing -
no one can teach you that.
[366]
At the end of the day, man,
you really got to want it.
[369]
You got to really want it.
[371]
And I think the problem is
is now with social media, before..
[374]
When I was growing up
[375]
I didn't see all these examples
of people having cool cars
[378]
or doing cool stuff all the time like, right?
[380]
And now with social media
I don't care if you're in like
[384]
you know,
[385]
in the middle of nowhere
you can log on to Instagram
[387]
and see just this whole world
of experiences and things.
[391]
The problem is, it's like,
[392]
"Oh well, these people have it
so I should be able to have it."
[395]
and it's just like, man you don't see
the work that goes behind this.
[399]
Man, I started my first
marketing job at 14.
[402]
I鈥檓 10 years into entrepreneurship.
[404]
It wasn't until the past few years
[405]
where I started really
getting recognition for it, right?
[408]
And so people don't see all that it takes
[412]
to even get to that point
and that's the problem.
[415]
And so, they think it's supposed to be
this- this overnight thing
[418]
Oh, I started LLC give me money.
[421]
No, that's not how it works.
[426]
This is a marathon, this is not a sprint
[429]
right? You never know when that
moment is going to happen in your life
[433]
where you find that passion
or you figure it out.
[436]
The fun part
is just trying a bunch of stuff
[439]
like when you get to a point where
you can just try a bunch of stuff
[442]
it's like, Hey, sit down make a list
[444]
I鈥檓 interested in all these
different things, right?
[448]
Okay, I鈥檓 interested
in these top five things.
[451]
Now, how can I do something that
[454]
not only am I passionate about
with one of these top five things
[458]
but also make at least
enough money to just get by.
[466]
A lot of times the thing that's stopping us
[468]
from being the person that
we truly want to be is ourselves.
[471]
It's usually ourselves.
[473]
And I think being able to identify
[475]
mental health, depression, anxiety,
all these things that we're dealing with
[480]
and say that we want to make a change
[483]
and we humble ourselves
to want to make that change
[486]
is one of the biggest barriers
that one can break through.
[491]
I鈥檓 going to launch a much more
successful business when I do launch it
[496]
and it's because I took the time to learn
[498]
and I just think that people
are in such a rush
[502]
to have something
[503]
especially money, money is like,
Oh, I got to get more money.
[506]
But it's like, if you launch
something that's piss poor.
[509]
Even at a point where I had
accomplished so many things
[512]
I almost did it, right?
[514]
We're not perfect.
[516]
I鈥檓 not perfect.
[517]
You know, I still mess up all the time, man.
[520]
Earlier today, like I was- came here
at the wrong time, right?
[524]
So we- we mess up constantly
[526]
but it's- it's identifying that and saying,
wait let me take a step back
[530]
and let me do this the right way.
[533]
I am inspired by helping people.
[537]
If I can make money too
damn, that's cool too, right?
[540]
But the thing that really
gets me out of bed right now is
[545]
my ability to help people.
[547]
I don't need any more money,
I don't need any more material things
[552]
you know as well as I know
that gets old, right?
[555]
And you know it feels good temporarily
[558]
but it doesn't really hold
any weight or substance.
[561]
And so, the thing that
[562]
I feel like our legacy is
[565]
how do we affect as many people as possible
[568]
in the most genuine
and impactful way, right?
[571]
And for me THAT is what drives me today.
