I can relate to that man, my ex girlfriend used to always get in the way of my drinking until she dumped me but I stuck with it and went on to become an alcoholic.
Attta boy
@@you393 If you want something bad enough you have to be willing to sacrifice everything for it. Only people like me and Kevin would understand that.
Lmaooo 😭😭💀💀
Lmao. I agree
Lmaooooo bravo.
He is not mean, he just tells you the truth
Kevin O'Leary is the MERCHANT OF TRUTH
He is being sincere to how HE UNDERSTANDS life and meaning.
But that is by no means the TRUTH!
Jacob Racquer you guys are pathetic. What people in general lack is self-love not entrepreneurs lacking charisma. You have to pity talk everything to people so you don't hurt their ego feelings. Fuck that, since the day I learned to love myself I loved the people that told me the truth the most. I love people that tell me what others are too selfish to admit. If I'm not the right one for a girl, I would rather have her tell me straight up I'm not the right one than start being more quiet little by little till I get it. And guess what? I'm an entrepreneur. You don't waste your time being pity with people. Animals who can't put their emotions aside, that's why they don't progress in life.
Jacob Racquer As I said the majority are such pity snowflakes. So I'm not surprised by your comment. We should make the purge real so we get rid of the weaker genes, making our species better again don't you think? I'm losing brain cells from how dumb people can be sometimes and then knowing they are gonna procreate spreading those weak genes even more... oh gosh its brutal. Thats why I like the medieval age more, you are weak you don't survive only the thug get to live. You have all this past amazing badass leaders like Alexander the great you are not gonna hear that shit again anymore cus we let the weak live.
Jacob Racquer but go out of man made cities... Thats how nature is! And no ones hates nature for that. If you are weak you are fucked and guess what scientist know we Homo Sapiens are evolving way slower than other species now because we let the weak genes in. If a new predator comes to kill butterflies and you are green color and can camouflage you get to survive, if another one came out sort of brown color or whatever, well you can be seen you are fucked and die. But if they were to be pity like us and let them procreate as well guess what you might end up with part green, part brown genes so you are fucked thanks to the weak genes that are allowed to exist. More butterflies suffer the epidemic and possibly make the specie go extinct if enough time existed to spread the genes everywhere. I don't sound too crazy and arrogant now do I? I'm just following the laws of nature, let the weak die off and keep perfecting our specie.
people can hate him all they want, but they all damn well know that he is one of the most honest entrepreneur
C30 Nation more people need to know his story. He comes from a really genuine place, which is why he’s a dick a lot of the times.
So true man
C30 Nation people hate him because he doesnt give people great deals he gives fair deals which in my opinion is better than no deal. People think hes greedy but no its not to get to where hes at you have to be smart emotions are the last thing you want in buisness
What about when he was fired from Mattel because he misled investors by selling them software that exploited kids and schools, and ended up costing them millions? He's a total toolbag, and a textbook dishonest businessman.
The haters fuel this man
He is basically trying to say, be with someone who understands your passion and is by your side no matter what. !
Great insight Rohan!
Maybe she feels like she has sacrificed enough and it was his turn to look at his life and priorities and make some adjustments on his end? Maybe he’s a selfish prick that only talks about himself and his business and doesn’t include her. Maybe this was her way of saying “include me” and “sacrifice for me” because I’ve done the same for you.
No he is saying stick with the business until you have time for a relationship
You have to understand them too tho. It's a two-way street. Otherwise, you imply one partner is more valuable than the other.
Well someone like minded is good my former boss was married to another entrepreneur so it was a non issue their businesses were within the same block and they were married probably 40 years.

Successful people don't become that way overnight. What most people see at a glance-wealth, a great career, purpose-is the result of hard work and hustle over time.
Yeah! I agree with you sir.If you want to be successful have the mindset of the rich, spend less and invest More. Don't give up your dreams.

And that is why most of them end up losing they money don't be in a haste to invest. Know what and who you are investing to and be sure that the person will deliver before I n v e s t I n g.

What’s easier to replace...lmao a lot of truth in that statement
It is true, but the important thing is that it has nothing to do with convenience of replacing one or another. If you fiance want`s you to choose between your passion and her, then it really would not work anyway in the mid or long run. Actually, some people are simply not marriage material at all, unless they find someone who completely understands them or is the same with their own passions. I believe marriage can work if people see each other only few hours a day, or even week, but it is very hard to find a perfect pair where both pursue their passions but still having someone to come back at the end. Life is complex, just live it i guess.
It really does come down to that.
I am shocked.. where are the hair jokes????
Incomeking I would never never never never put my million dollar business down for a woman. Are you insane?
Yup. You’re more likely to find a SO, but very few people actually pursue and execute their ambitions. They give it up for having a family which is fine, but the latter is generally harder to stay true to your word (for example starting a business)
I built up my own 8 figure business over the course of many years.. I started with nothing but it took HARD SMART work for it to happen. I failed 4 businesses before I got where I am today.
Kevin o Leary speaks truth here, I was ridiculed by friends and my girlfriend left me. At this point, they dont remember all my failures, they just know how I've succeeded.
Congrats
And then you woke up and had to change your bed sheets, naughty boy
Hate people who only see the success but not the pain…”he/she got lucky” if I hear this…I’ll honestly die inside
What is your business?
Cocoa farmers in Africa work harder than you have and ever will. Banana farmers in Asia work harder than you have or ever will.
And yet Kevin Oleary is rich, having never worked hard labor, and they are not.
If shes not supporting you when your nothing, she doesn’t deserve to be with you when you have it all .. period
This is true man. I’m a trucker here, I’m 22 I’m young. Never home but I have a 5 year plan, it requires every ounce of work that I can give. It’s tough, I miss my family and my girlfriend, but I don’t want to work a normal 9-5, I’m willing to give up love, sex, fun, and comfort for this. I’m willing to die for my vision. Until you want this as bad as you want to breathe, you can’t be successful.
Respect keep working man
keep going
Mad respect bro
That's my boy... EEE...TEEE!

You never lose women chasing money, but you will always lose money chasing women.

This man speaks the truth, the sacrifices required to succeed are not for everyone. Its a very lonely road to freedom.
This sounds like the complete opposite of freedom to me. Sounds like being a slave to your job, to money, to success. You can balance your work and personal life. If wealth is more important to you than family, then by all means go for it. But it won't make you happy.
@@patrickbaker1457it most certainly can, it just hasn’t made you happy.
Hello, I'm new to Biticon trade and I've been makin losses but recently I see a lot of people earning from it. Please can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong
As a beginner who don't understand how Bitcoin trade really works and you really want to make profit from it. I will advise you to first start working with a professional broker
How can someone know a professional account manager that is trustworthy when legit once are hard to find this days
@Joyce Meyer Wow am amazed you mentioned Mrs Margaret
she is the best and her strategies works like magic. I've been making over 300% of my investment weekly since I started investing with her trading service.
This is the perfect time to invest in Bitcoin because of the rise in Bitcoin.
Many people today in the world are poor because of ignorance I know for sure that trustworthy account manager like Mrs Margaret , are waiting for investors.
Please I need someone to help me trade or invest the forex or crypto market because I'm tired of trading in losses myself. I've blown my account twice and it's frustrating...
Most time having knowledge or insight about a particular activity can as well be a pleasing exercise.I can boldly say that Forex and crypto trading is one of the profitable money exchange service that elevates investors and their financial status.
@@pateljohnson5673
That's true most people today have been having a lot of failure in Forex and crypto sector because of poor orientation and bad experts
all you need now is a professional trader else you will continue making losses

More like Uni was a waste of time. Dump Uni, keep wife and business = problem solved.
Andrew Freeman exactly. She should support him
@@yusefvonshekelstein3185 fuck that. If she loves you she'll stick. If she doesn't she only liked you for personal pleasure. Once you're both old she'll look at you differently because you look different and doesn't have the same pleasure with you anymore. Real women who love you will support you no matter what
No joke!
I got bullied for years. I've have a traumatic childhood and I kept to myself. Worked three jobs while in college and the other day I ran into the girl who was like the American equivalent of the head cheerleader who always made fun of me for no reason. She was checking out my bags and I was on the phone with my assistent. After this moment, I checked her out on FB and she lives with her mom. With two kids, no husband and no carreer. And as I looked further, almost everyone from that high school, isn't all that. Another kid who was picked on also has his own business. We got made fun of for being smart. For anyone who needs this. It's a real story. And I am so glad I didn't let their opinions get to me and my future.
His answer doesn’t mean “leave your fiancé”, he’s forcing you to make the choice, and frame the situation in a different perspective. That’s the true genius of this answer, because if you see another opportunity to make money without sacrificing your relationship then surely you’d go for that path.
That woman is giving him an ultimatum and they aren't even married. Instead of being supportive when the guy needs it the most she is marking his life more difficult.
The guy should leave her not because his work is priority but because she isn't being supportive when he needs it most.
True. Something is wrong in society when there are nigh zero women capable of being supportive partners to driven entrepreneurs.
@DonPapi mo yes so sad😔
Marius Ciobanu you don’t even know the full story so you can’t even say that. Maybe she has been giving him support and in return he probably isn’t even doing the same. Women need attention. Attention like a decent conversation not a yes or no answer! Couples don’t need to be together the whole damn time but at the end of the day a decent conversation would be nice. Of course she’s gonna give him an ultimatum even when they’re not married because when you get married it’s for life. It’s not a joke! She would rather know now so he or she doesn’t waste their time. All women are different! They’re not the same!
@@SuperBluemonster It's strange to hear that women need attention but not all women are the same, they all do nag and complain. The guy has in his grasp a potentially multi million dollar idea that people work their entire lives to get remotely close to and the woman wants to focus on spending time together. It is easy to replace a woman, not so easy to replace a extremely lucrative career, at that point there will be plenty of women to pick from.
Marius Ciobanu We are all human. We have body parts. We have blood running through us, we need food to survive, etc. that’s what makes us all the same. But what sets us apart is our personality! Sure all women need attention and all they do is nag blah blah blah but what sets us apart is our personality. Some women need more attention than another. It’s actually obvious that both can be replaced. Society changes everyday. Trends change everyday. That multi million company can be worth zero the next day.
That makes sense. You want someone that shares your dream and willing to ride with you to that finish line. Some people don't see that and some see the larger picture. Sacrifice now to have all the time in the world to be with your family.
Unless you have started and run your own business you will never understand how tough it is. You have to really want it and you have to sacrifice. Kevin O'Leary is absolutely right on.
If someone loves you and cares about you, they will accept and understand the fact that you have a goal and have to stick to it. A true relationship is about empathy.
Reading about people grabbing multi-figures monthly as income in investments even in this crazy days in the market,any pointers on how to make substantial progress in earnings?would be appreciated

@@sharinglungs3226 what ring ? The gave me no ring when i graduated .. just a piece of paper and a nice title which means nothing really ...
Good for you! I am an engineer too. Frankly, it's not that hard. Just did my homework and studied for tests (just follow instructions like in grade school). Pretty straight forward actually. Much easier than fighting in wars or looking for water in the desert.
@@moda8509 How did you not get a ring lol did you not graduate

Many women are too sensible to pursue this. I’m a male lawyer. Like many women at my firm, I’ll never make partner because I don’t fucking want to. I don’t want to give up my life for that. All the best for those who chose to seek it. Not for me.
I took that differently. As if he was saying that competition pool is even larger now since women are now in the workforce, whereas before it was a small percentage.
@@OZBarStories Can people have a life partner without getting legally married? (Like just living together)
@@dovahking6514 yep but after a while she/he would get entitled to your estate, just like married couple. at least it was like that in the states.
That's completely right, there's no success without effort and sacrifices....
100% fact. The business owners I know have kids who hate them for not being around, broken marriages and sleep all 8 hours maybe on a Sunday. Monday-Saturday 12 hour days or more. Holidays, birthday and long vacation are not a thing to them.
“How important it is for your partner to understand the journey you’re in”... such a great comment!
He hit the mark without sounding arrogant or politically incorrect
If someone tries to give you an ultimatum - dump them immediately. Find someone who likes you for who you are, not someone who wants to change or control you
That's true, but it may be hard to find someone who's fine with having only a little time together. Not impossible though.
Very true I don't like girlfriend if she wants me to quick drinking she can fuck off. A 12 pack a day is not that much.
Brandon Cox bro, you do whatever you want to your body. I hope you find a partner who would share a hangover with you every morning.
That depends on the ultimatum, pal. If someone asks you to stop snorting coke or he/she will leave you, I think one should comply.
Yeah... it completely depends on the ultimatum. Some things make sense, some don't. You may be the one at fault.
Sometimes people can be so stubborn that they don't see what they're actually doing, and need something as extreme as an ultimatum to wake up.
I wish I had actually given my ex an ultimatum much earlier than I did. Ended up being too late for her to see what she was doing.
Ultimatums aren't necessarily bad.
They key is delegating. Master your business and then hire people, train em well and trust em. I like entrepreneurship because of the life it provides not the life it takes away. Put your money to work for you when you think its the right time. Always be smart.
Jesus Ivan TRUTH!! Life doesn't always have to be hard, work hard and smart!!! Eventually you will find time.
I’ve been a successful touring musician for all of my twenties so far and I’m 28. I’ve been through countless girlfriends and they became ex’s real quick when they either asked me to choose or complained about the time I spent doing it.
I am now with a woman I’ve been with for nearly 2 years and that’s the longest I’ve held a relationship. Why? Because she understands me and my passions and goals.
Kevin O’Leary is never boring.
He gave him the right answer. There's plenty of fish in the sea that would appreciate and understand the hard work you're putting in.
This shows women can slow down men in pursuing their goals and men need to leave them behind.
It wasn't a matter of her slowing him down from pursuing his goals. It was a matter of them having different goals. They weren't a good match. It's good they figured that out early in their relationship. 😊
That is why you be with someone with similar goals and values
Woman also
slidejones same for women. Some men really drag them down and a lot of men are intimidated my successful women.
Most men slow women down with their goals and careers but ok
I am constantly working to get ahead, buying real estate & saving for real estate (working on my BRRRR method), running a full time service business/managing contractors, and coaching cycling (work but also a workout/release). I never have time for rarely anything else. I get so much push back from some of my peers saying I need to relax, and especially that I should just be a mom and have kids. Why are workaholics so unacceptable for some people? I mean, your never going to get ahead in life if you don’t work your a$$ off.
No Sunday dinner with the family. A sacrifice for monetary success. A comment section full of respect. This is our world.
This is a typical BULLSHIT rationalisation.
if you love what you do its not work, this is point everyone misses. ed sheeran isnt thinking "oh shit another day in the studio making money, cant wait for my next vacation“. Warren Buffer, Richard Branson these guys could have retired years ago, they love what they do. Whereas for the normie masses, work is something bad you have to do because its not your true passion, and then you do that to get to the weekend ‘leisure’.
It’s the pursuit, growth and self-actualisation of becoming entrepreneur challenging yourself is key, which is something the normie masses don’t understand as they see work as an inconvenience to get to the leisure. Entrepreneurs tend to be most highest growth mindset people etc.
This comment is bullshit (I have average income, more to life etc) on standard income you basically repeating same average experiences, work, vacation, barbecue, same conversations with same average friends over and over etc. if you had true freedom, success, wouldn’t have same friends, or wife, picked from scarcity, just happened to be around, went to school not picking from abundance.
Just go to ikea, pubs, coffee shops look at the masses, light gone behind eyes, walking zombies, going through the motions, no passion.
As Henry David Thoreau said "most men lead quiet lives of desperation" and benjamin franklin "most men dead by 25 we just don't bury them until they are 75” - that is the definition of take it easy, more to life middle classes.
Most of whom never went for dreams, have average lives and then to solve this cognitive dissonance when see successful people and say "more to life", "that's hollow" - It's cowardice disguised as virtue.
When you go to watch a film based on a true story, or go to concert you're not watching 'normal' people. It's abnormal people that took on challenges, that were obsessed, fully self-actualising.
It’s not a film based on a true story, about Dave Smith who got a job, came home watched TV married average wife, went on some vacations, had some beers with the guys, and then died".
As a child building lego etc they are fully engaged, you don’t see kids seeing “how can i chill”.
So that engineer's business had $5M run rate, super high growth, so it was worth say 6X$5M or $30 million, and he hadn't yet graduated. If he was in NY or other community property state, his wife would have gotten half. He saved $15,000,000 that day by letting her walk. If he had gotten divorced 5 yrs later, might have cost in $100 million. Natural consequences can save you.
I think sacrifices are done all the time for suceesful people. But sometimes you feel it of you don't. It hurts when you stop doing something you like because of consequences. It's about the future motivation to keep you going ahead of the curve. Nice going Mr wonderful.
The right kind of directness!
He is being honest... online guru won’t tell this type of narrative
The wisest thing that should be on everyone mind currently should be to invest in different stream of income that doesn't depend on the govt especially with the current economic crisis around the world.

I'd rather have my fiancee then any amount of money. For me, life's not about long hours building an empire. When I'm on my deathbed I'm not going to think about my money or business, and they're not going to think about me. But more power to those that want that.

I'm not about the whole idea of sacrificing all your free time to the pursuit of wealth, however what he said about choosing between a relationship and a business (a dream) is something I agree with; it's similar to something Lady Gaga once said about how if she had to choose between her music or love, she would choose her music because she knows that a sheet of Mozart for example isn't going to wake up one morning and tell her it doesn't love her anymore. It is easier(but not easy) to 'replace' a lover than it is to replace a dream you've worked hard for.
When I was in grad school, I studied for exams and assignments during the weekdays and used my weekends to create RUclips content (on my other channel). My boyfriend always complained about how I didn't love him or care about him because I start creating my videos on the weekends. It hurt me when he said that because it felt like he didn't understand that I was trying to build something here. I ended up eventually leaving him.

what he says about Global Competition is so true..
I 1000% agree!
I agree, if it comes to your purpose in life or having a relationship that's going to get in the way of that, purpose in life must come first, that's your mission and your life goal.
I agree. I used to have boyfriends making me feel that I have to adjust so much to meet their needs. Good thing I didn’t stay in those relationships. Now I’m happily married to a guy who supports me and wants me to be successful. He made it possible to have love and success. I don’t need to choose.
7 years, and my ex just left me. I will always choose the business.
What's the business?
I feel sorry for you. Trading imaginary money for loving relationships and the human experience. You will look back on your life years from now and be incredibly unhappy. Peace
@@Anthony_MD if he makes it up there, he's going to be immortal. And that was the point of the video you have to make sacrifices, can't everything in your life.
The risk of future unhappiness is worth the pursuit of present day satisfaction found in building a successful business.
"Honey, Kevin O'Leary, a Reality TV personality told me to dump you. So it's over!" That's classic.
LOL. That would be hilarious!
Like the stock market a business is a long term benefit.
She'd probably have left if he chose her
And probably divorce him for alimony.
Yep. Wishy-washy behavior. They always flip their position on things. I've quit trying to figure them out. As a man it's best to just stick to your decision and do what you want to do with or without her.
depends how much money he made
💯
Facts women chase what they can’t have or if she did leave him she’d still be chasing him in her heart because it’s unresolved for her women want to be the one to end things if she can’t stake u with “I’m leaving u” and u say this “no baby no” then she didn’t win
No one on their death bed is gonna wish they worked more. Find something you can enjoy (and can make a living out of) that also allows you to be with family and friends. Life is too short to make tons of money that you’ll just leave behind. You’ll never get your relationships back.
100% agree with you, money isn’t going to visit you in the hospital, or during holidays, or spend time with you. i dont think i would ever regret not getting rich, but i would regret not spending time with family.
Thank you , one sensible comment in a million stupid ones ..
A true entrepreneur doesn’t give a shit if someone is next to them I
on their death bed. It’s about a legacy, not some pie on the sky dream about family and relationships. If you need a death bed person, you aren’t cut out to be a successful entrepreneur. Enjoy your 9 to 5 and be content.
If people fxck with ur vision they support u even if it means being apart for longer periods of time.
As uncomfortable as what he said is to some people, he spoke the absolute truth. Success requires sacrifice and suffering. It's that simple.
Some guy in India..
I can relate with that...
This couldn't be more spot on.
Love it! He is 1000% right. If your wife/girlfriend is not looking in the same direction you are. And if you are not looking in the same direction she is. Game over. It just won’t go anywhere.
Kevin is such a person, whom you will hate at first, but after a time you know he is gold.
Find a spouse who can endure the journey with you. And together... both of you must work our a mutually appropriate lifestyle. Given your boyfriend or girlfriend ultimatum like this lady did is not fair. Then again we'll need more detail to the story to make a call.
Point is if you choose to be in a relationship with an entrepreneur or any one for that matter you must have the heart and be willing to make sacrifices to support them. Else... walk away before it's too late.
Kevin speaks the truth.
There is a delicate balance that's difficult to achieve. Lots of CEOs, for example, have trouble managing their personal (family) lives and their successful businesses. The latter takes a lot of time to manage. So does the former, but sacrifices have to be made. It's often family life that gets the short-end of it.
Many people think that the lives of high-profile executives is such a glorious place to be, with infinite money and lots of free time to enjoy your life. It's not true in most cases. You'll have lots of money, but very little free time to enjoy your life. Of course, these same folks tend to enjoy their work lives, so it's as if they're living a miserable life, but nonetheless they have to cut back on we the rest of us would call "personal time."
Reality is reality. The lives of CEOs and other high-ranking businesspeople/executives aren't as perfect as you'd think.
World doesn't work that way...
Becoming rich...is not only about hard work...it's a combination of a lot of things...Hypocrisy drives all these so called rich guys...
love is real, but you have to find someone who is supportive.
Yep. I made some big sacrifces to get to where I am today. Had 12 heart attacks. Fell down 10 flights of stairs. Jumped out of a 90 story building. Survived. Got run over by an 18 wheeler, and a herd of elephants. Got sent to prison, was brutally fucked. Was shot by my grandma 9 times. But now I'm a supervisor at McDonald's. Humble beginnings, man.
Real shit Mr. Wonderful.
This is what many people do not appreciate. Business people are our most important set of people.
I agree. The great wisdom you have is not for the faint of heart is it.
Successful people don't become that way overnight. What most people see at a glance wealth, a great career, purpose is the result of hard work and hustle over time. pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life.
You are right, to be a successful person in life require him or her of hard work and Time
You are right. Been thinking of going into gold and cyptocurrency
@Benjamin I totally agree with you it has been an eye-opening experience for a lot of people.
She have changed my life and financial status for the best. All thanks to my aunty who introduced me to her. She is obviously the best, trading with her gives me joy of earning
I came about Tiffany by a friend of mine and that is how I keep on trading over three months now. She had really made name for herself
Being an entrepreneur is an inherently lonely lifestyle. As a young, Canadian, tech entrepreneur, I've envisioned an all inclusive home-office hybrid.
It's lonely but it's worthwhile
I was going to make something like that.
Kevin dropping knowledge as always.
Always when i watch that after a time it is so wow because he is so right
He’s absolutely correct. Don’t sacrifice your dreams for personal relationships
“Confucius Say, Entrepreneurial Men With Gold Digger Wives Lead Very Unhappy Lives.”-Confucius
That's the thing, entrepreneurship is a lonely job :(
:
)
I like to be lonely lol
So is getting an engineering degree. Work now play later.
+ Being passionate and doing your own thing is not lonely you can be surrounded by people and be lonely.
"job" u say..? lol
Notice how his students weren't happy that he would choose his business over a lover. Why are you in Kevin O'Leary's class if business isn't your #1 priority? All of them were in the wrong place and they need to reevaluate their life decisions.
@spikeboy101
It’s college for a reason. It’s a place for a bunch of idiotic 18-22 year olds to earn a piece of paper to go out in the world and find a job they hate. I did it. Many more will do it after me. Cycle repeats.
Jeff T reading that and that is exactly the stage I’m in atm. Although I’ve been putting off getting a full time job because I have no direction, my life certainly seems very dull from now.
This is so good. I need to send this to my family so they understand why I cant just keep hanging out every other weekend.
It's finding someone who accepts you and your drive to succeed. If you succeed, they succeed. Then money and time become nothing but a thing. There will always be struggles, ups and downs. True people will stand with you at your lowest and knew you could the whole time at your highest.
I thought about question, honestly, and my fiance would be harder to replace.
ChrisCerv obviously
yeah that's what I originally through the whole point was.
SIMP
it’s so messed up that she gave him an ultimatum like that, I hope he made the right choice & followed what makes him happy
Spot on! As I learned in USMC Basic SS class in 1991; This isn't for everyone. Your WHY better is larger than your why not. The light within better outline the light outside. And your support team better not only understand but also be just as committed to your success as you are. If not, you-will-fail!
Ever since I heard what is easier to replace . My life changed !!!
He's not wrong.
Honestly, its not for me. I love having specialized talents that help companies, but I also love the world around me and like to take moments to enjoy it. Glad there are lots of entrepreneurs out there to help out, but life is more than my grand vision of what it should be.
That's really the question that needs to be answered because otherwise you won't get an answer and you may lose both, period. So, "Which is easier to replace? Your million dollar business, or a woman?"
Kevin you are one of the greatest minds of our time
That's a fact Rick!
Excellent point, love is ALWAYS temporary unless it's a parent/child love.
A 91 year old woman once told me that you can be 60 years old and still make a dollar, but you can never go back in time and be with the person that you were meant to be with for the rest of your life. Live life and have fun with your significant other is priceless. Both sides have to make sacrifices for each other. Follow your heart. Making money is important, but you are only young once.
B Charles Very true but maybe that wasn’t the girl for him.
When your 60 you should be retired or relaxed no working hard for money. There are more then one women for every man.
I hate it when my friends go on rants about how we're being "exploited" by "greedy billionaire pigs who sit on their yachts all day getting drunk on our work."
It really shows an ignorance so pure and untainted by actual knowledge. These people are obsessed with working, and if you ever had a CEO who sat on their yacht all day getting drunk, they wouldn't be CEO by the end of the month.
Guys, to put this in persprective, he is saying that sometimes you have to choose between a successfull career and a deep, loving relationship because both will take a lot of time and you sometimes wont be able to manage both. He isn‘t saying throw away your relationship like its worth nothing. And he also did not say this kind of choice is the right one for everybody because not everybody will be happy with their career being the main focus of their lives. Don‘t get fooled by all the „die-hard-entreperneurs“ in the comment section 😊
Love it. O'Leary keeps it so real.
A poet once said "chase a check, never chase a bitch " and something else about a mask but this particular line holds true. Kevin is telling it like it is.
Shout out to Future
'Successful' people love to preach about the endpoint, but never the start point. Usually because most of their success has to do with their parents. A fact that has been cemented in modern Psychology.
Fact is, if you let someone else define what success means for you. Your probably aren't charismatic enough to be making waves in whatever your career of choice is anyway.
You know you could just google some of the names of billionaires and successful people and find that not all them were born into it. You lack ambition.
@@projectleaf2724 You skimmed my comment without actually reading it and it still triggered your privileged ego.Try again.
@@zephyr9047 Not sure what my ego has to do with anything. You're the one making excuses.
@@projectleaf2724 Well i can extract from your responses that you don't understand what 'ego' means since you aren't sure. So your not starting from a point of much information are you?
Try again.
@@zephyr9047 My understanding of ego is quite clear. I get it, you aren't able to sacrifice what is necessary to be a highly successful entrepreneur or businessman. Btw, good job at not addressing the actual argument.
a money centered life cannot be called a life, never.
they're all stooges and they don't even know it
With millionaires and billionaires, it's the business 1st. You're married to your work.
“Let’s be pragmatic. Which is easier to replace? Your business or fiancée?” Understand the drive. WIN.
Honestly I agree with that, If your working hard and going threw that Journey and that's your job in life, and your significant other doesn't get that or can't deal with it then maybe you don't belong together and don't Love each enough to see it threw.
Damn right!!! "Whats easier to replace?" 😆🤣😂
I come from a family of engineers- my grandpa, my dad, my brother, my brother's wife, and let me tell you...the ring thing is true!!! They all have the ring from their school! Engineer students work their asses off, and they just want the ring!
2 things about this video:
1- sad how Kevin says women multiple times or else he might seem a sexist.
2- men make sacrifices women won't make making man superior in leadership and in the workspace.
I’m not trying to work for the money. It’s about having financially freedom.
