Make Money Youtube Won't Make You Money
Copy + Paste won't get you results
The people you look up too didn’t get where they are by watching youtube videos on “how to make 10,000 a month” or “best side hustles 2024” or “how to make money online” … None of them.
I’m not saying don’t listen to anyone, that’s absurd. But be honest, why is someone on youtube trying to teach you how to make money the same way they do? Wouldn’t that just drive competition for themselves?
And I know I write about how to make money but I talk about the principles and mindsets, which will be replicated as you go through your entrepreneur journey too. But you will not do the exact business model as me, I’m 95% sure.
And the main thing that will actually make you money is by first deciding “Will I be 1st in charge or 2nd 3rd, etc till like 10th in charge of a business” Because that’s genuinely the only way to actually be rich. Not like a paid off home, steady income and good investments type rich but you have a lot of money coming in every month type of rich.
So will you be the business owner, the second in command, etc. Because as long as you can get a piece of the business or actually get to be someone close to the top of the business, you’ll be good. In other words entrepreneur vs intrepreneur. Both have their pros and cons, as first you have all the headaches and most of the risk but you get all the credit and a good amount of the reward. As an intrepreneur you get a good amount of the reward or money, but you don’t deal with as much risk, but you aren’t as credited. Like do you know the top 3 guys at Tesla, Apple or most of these companies?
It all comes down to what you want, both will make good money, as long as the business owner isn’t a retar— moron.
And I’ll talk more broad because I’m not an intrepreneur but everyone I work with is. So I know a bit about this.
The #1 thing you need is to know how to talk. If you go into your gym, school or wherever, the people you don’t wanna work with, talk with, etc are the people who can’t talk right. They’re shy, quiet, not confident and they can’t speak without stuttering. Or they over talk, are cocky and annoying.
And I use to be a pussy Xbox nerd so I had all those traits and the best way to get over it is to record yourself talk. And then re-listen to it. And also have something to go off of. Like someone you wanna talk like. And just keep doing that. I have a million recordings of me trying to sound like my mentor, Jordan Belfort and some of the people I look up too.
So learn how to speak confidently and actually be able to communicate your thoughts.
And 2nd to speaking is being able to work well with others. That BS that we get in school where you can’t work together on tests doesn’t apply in real life. I promise you, the more people you work with the bigger the reward is. It’s better to have 8% of a watermelon over 100% of a grape. And the only way to get the watermelon is by having other people working with you.
Another good piece advice I can give you is be able to put the moment aside. Sometimes when I’m with a customer and they have a complaint and I listen to what they’re yapping about and it’s nothing important, I’m not gonna argue with them, I’ll just redo it. I learned this the hard way but being right rarely gets you what you want, it gives you a good feeling but it jeopardizes everything else.
Sometimes it’s just better to keep someone else happy over proving a point. That’s for people like customers and just day to day type of people and especially those above you.
And I’d say that you need to be able to give up the whole fallacy of work life balance and the belief that it’s a bad thing to work all the time. Especially when you’re young. To be honest, whats the difference between traveling in your 20s and 30s?
Nothing, just work those 10 years, put the phone down, get off the bed and knock some doors, write content, make a video, go into you place of work, talk to customers. There’s always something productive to do that will help you and your team get closer to your goal of having so much money coming in to the point where it’s not even for the money but because you enjoy and love certain processes and parts of your business.
So my advice to actually getting rich and making money is not by giving you some business model that everyone is doing like dropshipping or whatever but giving you the principles that I’ve used.
Deciding between intra and entrepreneur
Developing skills, mainly Speaking
Focus on watermelons, not grapes
Being agreeable
Work work work work. Relax later.
That’s essentially how I’ve gone about business and although I haven’t been working for decades now I’ve had a fair amount of success by going about it like this so I’m sure some of these will be of good value to you.
Thank you for reading:)
