[music] [music] So, someone asked me and I think it's a thing a lot of people struggle with um how to find like-minded individuals. And I think it's a thing so many people struggle with because there's so few like-minded individuals like ourselves who are actually actively trying to become a better version of themselves on a day-to-day basis. And I think the whole perception of having to have like-minded individuals around you is skewed.
I think it's overrated. I think it's kind of just bogus. Like I think the main the main point of it all is to focus on not only becoming a better version of yourself, just let alone for yourself, but naturally as you become a better version of yourself, those people will kind of naturally come into your life.
Like for me, when I was first getting into business and first getting into kind of just the overall like ordeal of trying to become the best version of myself, I was only focused on that and I wasn't focused on trying to meet these people in that moment. You know, my only focus throughout that whole period of starting to actually st starting everything to starting to achieve some level of success was just becoming the best version of myself. And I realized like later on, years later, when I started to achieve a little bit more of that success, those people naturally kind of just started to come into my life.
So now obviously I'm in a position where I have those people around me and I have a good solid group of friends, but I'm never on a day-to-day basis out actively seeking to make my circle bigger than it is already. I think that so many of you guys think that you have to be pushed by other people, but the reality of it is is that you just have to become the best version of yourself for yourself and you have to want it bad enough just for you. You shouldn't need other people to hold you accountable, other people to keep you disciplined, other people to keep you on the right track.
You yourself should just be able to to do that because you want it bad enough for yourself. I think way too many people rely on other people to hold themselves accountable. But in the end of the day, like if you ask yourself now, if you lost every person in your life, who would be there to hold you accountable?
There wouldn't there wouldn't be anyone. Like in the end of the day, the only thing that you ever have is yourself. Whether it's a relationship with your girlfriend, whether it's a relationship with your friends, like if those people for whatever reason end up falling out of place in your life, you're only left with yourself and you're only left with what you have built.
For majority of you, you need to find a way to stay disciplined and stay motivated on your own. And I think it's all about just having a deeper reasoning as to why. Like so many of you guys need some form of motivation and rely on motivation way too much rather than just staying simply disciplined.
What's the saying? When motivation lacks, that's when discipline kicks in. Whatever.
I don't know how it's said in a rhyme, but when motivation isn't there, that's where like discipline has to kick in for yourself and be like, no matter what, I'm remembering the reason as to why I started this all and I'm remembering what the end goal actually is. Even to this day and even lately in the period of life that I'm in, like on a day-to-day basis, I don't feel motivated to go and attract what I want to attract out of life. Like I didn't want to wake up today and go to the gym.
I didn't wake up and want to work today. I didn't want to do [ __ ] today. But like the reality is is if I didn't do that stuff, I wouldn't continue to be in the position that I'm in.
And even when I started everything, like granted, maybe at the, you know, 3:00 a. m. motivation moment where like I got up and got out of bed and wanted to research online about starting my marketing agency, I felt a little bit of motivation, but in the end, in the end of the day, there were days where I woke up and wasn't motivated because I wasn't seeing results.
Even despite that, I still continued to get up and keep doing the [ __ ] that I had to do because one day I wanted to see the future version of myself that was now seeing those results. For someone like me, I have a lot of pressure on myself versus someone like you. You guys are in the position where no matter what happens, you're still at rock bottom.
If you start something and fail at it, you're still at rock bottom. For someone like me, I have everything to lose. I've built an empire that I'm currently standing on, and if I don't wake up every day and do the [ __ ] that I have to do, I'm going to lose that empire I've built.
So, the moral of the story when it comes to finding like-minded individuals is focus on yourself until you become the best version of yourself, and those people will naturally come into your life. And even when you don't feel like becoming the best version of yourself, and you don't feel motivated on a day-to-day basis, stay disciplined, cuz shit's going to get hard. And no matter what, you want to see that future version of [music] yourself that you deserve to see.
[music] Remind me of the first time that I Yeah, we got tied on [music] the dark side. All right. This dude asked me, "What is my opinion on people trying to over complicate the process of freelance brand scaling?
" I'm going to speak in the terms of business overall. I know there's a lot of people that watch this channel that don't do freelance brand killing but do some other form of business. People over complicate it because they focus on trying to do too many things at once and they just don't focus on getting really good at one thing.
Like if you think about any sort of successful entrepreneur, everyone simply started by mastering like one skill set. Then that skill set that they became really [ __ ] good at led to them building some form of cash flowing business off of that skill set they acquired. And then that skill set ends up leading to the next thing and then to the next and then to the next.
Like even if you take me as an example when I was first starting business, I was failing because I was focusing on way too many things at once. Like I was trying to do drop shipping, then I was trying to do crypto, then day trading, blah blah blah. I focused on running my brand.
I said, "I'm going to start a clothing brand. I'm going to run a clothing brand. " And I did that.
And I started to achieve a little bit of success with it because I stuck with it for long enough to actually start seeing some results. Then I realized I saw an opportunity to make even more money when I realized that from running my own clothing brand, I got really good at the skill of running ads. I learned how to do marketing for a clothing brand from running my own brand and running ads for it.
So I saw that opportunity and I said to myself like, I can go and do this for other businesses and make even more money doing it for them because I have this skill set that I can sell to these people who have the money that can pay me for it. Nowadays, you see someone like myself where I'm running multiple different businesses because that skill set that I got really [ __ ] good at opened up so many other doors, not only in my life, but in business. Now I run a candy brand because again, I looked at myself, I'm like, "Okay, I have this skill set.
I have this platform. Why not launch a physical product? If I'm doing this marketing for all these other businesses, I should be doing it for my own, too.
" So, I launched a candy brand. Then, I have my agency. Obviously, that was where everything started.
Then I have my education program. Like why would I not be teaching people how to do the same thing as myself if there's people asking me to do that and are willing to pay me for it? Like I have this skill set that is valuable to other people in other realms.
Why would I not go and monetize that skill set even more? It all was a foundation of mastering the skill set and then I became really [ __ ] good at that skill set which just opened so many other doors. So I think people over complicate it because they try to focus on too many things at once and don't just get good at really [ __ ] good at just doing one thing.
[music] If you leave my spend time feeling so misunderstood and [music] the sh [music] on [music] the suicide mission for love. suicide mission. If y'all haven't already seen new whip beyond blessed feeling a lot of gratitude.
I love this car so far. I've owned it for like four days now, three days, something like that. I still at the time of filming this, I haven't even shown y'all it yet cuz I've just been keeping it a secret.
But it drives amazing and it's a super fire car. It's just classy. It's smooth.
It's calm. It's not flexing. just kind of blends in, but it's also like kind of aura because it's like nice, you know?
What am I most excited for in the future? I think I'm excited to continue to grow and to continue to become a better version of myself. And I think that that's what every man and woman on this earth should strive for.
the short amount of time that you're actually able to spend on this earth, it should all be put towards like one enjoying cool experiences and two literally just continuing to try to become the best version of yourself because you're only limited with the amount of time you have here. Like if you're lucky, you have what, like 80, 90, maybe if you're really lucky, 100 years on the earth. And when you're like sitting on your deathbed asking yourself like what what did I do with my life?
Like you want to be able to go away with peace and with like fulfillment knowing that you gave it your all. You should want every single person in your life to be proud of you. You should want every single person in your life to like aspire to be like you and you should feel good about yourself at the end of the day when you put your head on the pillow.
Even there's days that go by that I know that I didn't go hard enough and that I didn't go as hard as I could. And when I sit down at the end of the day and like put my head on the pillow, it feels like [ __ ] like you want to live every day of your life laying down in bed at night looking at the ceiling knowing that you gave it your all and knowing that you really like strive to become that version of yourself that you want to become. I think another thing that a lot of people were asking me about and have asked me in the past is like the whole parent debacle of like, oh, my parents don't support what I want to do.
Bro, you got to understand that your parents are in a position where they just want what's best for their child. They want to see their child do what in their eyes is success to them. And your parents' version of success versus your own version of success are two completely polar opposite things.
So you have to come to the realization that at the same time is making your parents feel happy and feel achieved and feel fulfilled and feel proud. You also need to do what's best for yourself. And I think that there's a fine balance.
Like for me, my parents were not not supportive of what I wanted to do with my life, but they didn't really understand what I was trying to achieve. And now, like, they see the [ __ ] that I do. They see the life I live.
Like, they see how happy I am. And they obviously support it, but it wasn't always like that. Like, in the beginning, they, you know, kind of thought like, "Oh, he's just falling for these get-richqu schemes online.
Oh, he's seen these other people do it where it's not actually real. " But with time, like you just have to prove it to not only yourself, but prove it to your parents at the same time as trying to do your best to make them happy. Whether that's like passing school, whether that's going to college, no matter the people in your life.
Like I said earlier, the only thing that you really truly have in the end of the day is yourself. You have to be selfish enough to do what is best for yourself. live the life that you truly want to live versus the life that others want to see you live.
