My first $10k month as an entrepreneur

- Опубликовано: 4 фев 2025
- Maybe this makes me a "guru" but I just can't give away everything I know for free, I'm sorry. I want to help people, but trying to help everybody requires a lot more time, effort, and energy than I initially thought. And doing everything for free just took time away from me running my own agency and I wasn't really able to help people because I was just giving 1 sentence answers to very complex and complicated questions.
So, I created The Mogul thinking that it would be better to FULLY help 1 person, than to partially help 100 people. Everything, all in one place to help someone succeed to the best of my ability while getting paid for my work. I'm pretty confident I can bring anyone success as long as they are willing to put in the effort on their end. If you watched my free videos on RUclips, imagine the value I would give you if I was actually getting paid.

I think the shift is what most people struggle with; shift of getting out of the comfort zone, going from instant gratification to delayed gratification.
Very real.
I’m currently struggling with that😔
truth
@@TheSwitchUP1no alone brother
Shift is just a button... Push it
The idea that addiction and discipline are the same thing, is mind blowing.
I’d argue they’re different, although maybe definitions of discipline shift from person to person. Discipline seems to be more of a function of self control and organization while addiction is the obsession and passion.
how to fckn start replacing one with the other? id be the most disciplined person in the universe, ngl
@hamburgerburger Yet generalizing the function of self control amd organization, as just an act, it creates a possibility for sustained discipline to be thought of as an addiction.
People who write here: You didn’t understand what he’s saying. Watch it again. Friendly advice.
@memocappa5495 ... just casually going off topic
You're gonna hit 25K/month in less than 6 months. Calling it now
nahh get me addicted to what ur doing brother
That’ll be easy
You’re my type of person. You are bored at times because the ordinary doesn’t interest you. But when you find something that you enjoy, that resonates with you, you go all out. I’m glad you’ve found a real life topic to put your time and energy in and have found success. I hope you continue to grow and that you can find ways to help others succeed around you.
nah this man gonna make all his Money on courses

I just did my first $10k month it took me almost 18 months a lot of ups and downs with trying to figure out my business but so happy that I’m finally at this point!
This video couldn’t be more on time for me to watch. I’ve seen so much of myself when you described your past. Currently trying to make that shift in my life now and hoping it’ll turn out the same as it did for you. Thank you for sharing your experience. People like me need to hear this.
man, i too am a programmer on upwork and this thing that you're doing is an inspiration to a lot of young people out there. Keep up the good work.
Bro when you made the connection between grinding on the game vs real life, that really woke me up. Thank you
Grinding IRL kinda same, but gives you a lot more.
fr, its so easy for me to grind a game yet I try something irl and give up quick
Wait until you realize how brutal real life is and how it doesn't matter how much you grind
bro is humble af congrants on the success
ego is the enemy he knows that
this is one of the most realist videos i've watched yet when it comes out to any type of finance videos.
subbing up, i hope to see yuu soon again in the future. love the raw honest content
I honestly appreciate the honesty. Inspired, gonna continue to be addicted to growing a business.
i love how raw this this, normal guy in normal clothes talking normally, no fancy editing just his raw opinion with proof. Keep it up Thomas your gonna do great!
Valuable content. Thanks for uploading 👍
when u started talking abt “laziness” and how that mindset becomes ur reality, I really relate 2 that . I needed 2 hear this, congrats on the success btw
You are awesome and please keep doing what you're doing!! This is something I needed to hear. Thank you!!!
I cannot express how we need more people like this guy. Humble, down to earth and gives back to the community
I finally found the video that I needed no editing just straight to point content it’s actually pretty easy make $10,000 a month you just got change how you think about yourself and how you think about money
Hey, recently started watching your videos. am from Ethiopia btw and i must say you are very humble likeable and the most real guy out here, i honestly wish every best thing this world has to offer. don't change please.
congrats on your entrepreneur beautiful start!!!! I hope you keep up the work! GREAT Motivation right here!!!!
Thank you!
Just found this channel and I am so inspired. I started getting serious some months ago with the online money making. Hoping to learn some more from you. But so true about the addiction👏
PROFIT! Nice work dude. Thank you for your content. Inspiring, simple, informative, down to earth
Simple yet so profound! I just found your channel. Congrats on 1k subs🎉.
I found your channel and realised i share the same thinking, my mind is always in hibernation mode trying to find perfection in what I do by doing repetitive tasks, watching lots of tutorials and taking notes. Direct the energy to making money. Shedding off excess baggage, decluttering, detoxing and enjoying what I like doing from my addiction. Thank you Thomas! great video
semmmm
🤯 The idea that addiction can be redirected to productive goals is mind-blowing.
Thomas, you're a real one. Thanks for sharing your journey.
Awesome video man. Former gaming addict here and just starting out my own business. As I wean myself off of technology, I start to see gains in my business. This video is such an inspiration and makes so much sense. Liked and subbed.
You claim to lack skill and talent in any particular thing, but you are clearly smart which means you have a solid foundation. Good work hitting that target, I find it inspiring:)
Anyone is smart . You are smart too just you need time to figure out your thing ;)
@@fhamatornation8914 i think the same but figuring it out is hardest i dont even know how to start with anything
@@fhamatornation8914 well, that's a lie 😂
This really resonated with me. Thank you bro. I used to be addicted to videogames too spending at least 6 hours a day in front of a computer. I had nothing else going on in my life back then and all I wanted to do was be very good at this video game. I'd literally prioritize getting better at this game at the cost of sabotaging the relationship I had with my family and friends. I would show up for 5 minutes at the dinner table to quickly eat so I can go back to my pc. Fast forward 3-4 years later I now play video games maybe once or twice a year, trying to be better in university and get better grades, I'm in the best shape of my life, had my first heartbreak, tried making money online with different businesses, made great friends in university, and now have a much better relationship with my family, but yet, I don't have a clue what I truly want to do for a living. I need to find something I can be obsessed with again.
Needed to hear this from a person with your temperament.
Dude, you're literally doing better than 98% of your peers! 🔥🤯
finally someone humble normal simple like us preaching his success and youtube algorithm randomly suggested me your video. now i am accepting the fact that the process is tiring boring not if you are highly addicted or focused or disciplined to your goal. thanks bro, keep making contents like this for us.
Addiction can be helpful sometimes I guess 😂 Congrats man.. 10k this month 20k the next!!l great inspiration!
Well done. This is an inspiration. You deserve it.
I've often thought about the parallels between video games and life. The idea that you play within this system, starting without knowing anything, where you figure out what works best for you and you do it over and over and over again, then you get good, then you get really good and get that natural game sense. It really is addiction, obsession, the ability to just keep at it until you get it. Great video.
finally someone speak out of reality. Really appreciated.
I am addicted to traveling and having new experiences abroad. This is propelling me as a freelancer and consultant. I totally agree with you. I wish the most success to you
I like your honesty ...wish u all the best...there are few people with this much of honesty and modesty in the social media...we need true people to give us true adivce
Phenomenal video man! I’ve been heavily addicted to weed for a little over a year now and it has really made my life worse in every aspect. This video really put a new perspective in my mind about addiction, and how I can turn my negative addiction into a positive one. thank you!
Most honest RUclipsr on the platform
I've never commented in a video, but I just like this, I need to be addicted to something that will change my life. I'll be back in 3 months
Bro you’re the most chill guy ever 😂 your videos are so “normal” and so relatable. It’s like I’m just listening to a friend chat about his life/views/experiences/story and it’s so sick!!!
Humble, genuine & insightful
Thanks for your transparency!!! I reaally recognize myself in parts of what you say ! You’re awesome ! Thank you so much.
This is by far the BEST video that I have watched about entrepreneurship in a long time, and I listen / watch a lot of stuff. I feel like you actually gave me the key to entrepreneurial success. I'm addicted to fitness, I do it consistently regardless of anything else. I need to direct that level of addiction to promoting my business. Thanks!
I am glad your videos got recommended in my feed. It is so down to earth and sincere talking about your own experience compared to other clickbait videos. I will become your loyal fan now and I hope you keep sharing your journey with us!
Congrats man! I'm halfway through September and I'm sitting at $6480 in profit. Working my butt off to secure that first 10k month!!
Congrats What are you doing to Make that money im 17 and I wanna learn
@@mihdre nice I'm 21, it's good that your already doing it at 17 your early to the game.
@@Njd454 yea bro im ready to change me life it’s a life style I want and im trying to educated my self in every way to get closer to it
This is just wisdom. Find something worthy you can get addicted to. Thank you, Thomas!
This video is an actual gem. Wow. Thank you for your time and for sharing this, you earned another sub!
You're getting Dopamine from winning, therefore you're addicted.
Its not a hard concept to understand, in the past I was highly addicted to my businesses as-well.
I also was an ex-gamer who hit 6 figures, etc etc.
I'd wake up everyday to tons of money in my account, it felt like a videogame, what isn't there to love?
The hard part is doing the job when you aren't winning, or when you get used to the money.
The hard part is relentless studying, refinement, etc, especially for those who can't hit rewards quickly.
The opposite end of motivation is hating your life, if you hate your life badly enough, you'll change it.
Everything I do now is raw discipline, I rarely get motivated now.
I just know if I'm not winning, I'm losing.
What do you do if you don't mind me asking?
@@abdoazam7729 anybody can make 6 figures if they're lying on the internet
Thank you for sharing this. As an ex gamer just starting out on my entrepreneurship journey after two years of saving up and planning, this makes me feel confident. I've already been disciplining myself over the past two years and I do feel that discipline is my key.
You might have just changed my life
What do you do to make this money? I’m confused
I can feel honesty in this guy, would definitely be my friend if we were in the same country
I'm glad I found your videos. These type.of thoughts have been banging around in my head for a while and I've been scared to take the leap and try to start something. It's nice to see you succeeding.
Thanks for the inspiration man…. I’m planning to transition my 9-5 job to work at home to open my own business.
Me too. I've made it one of my short-term goals to be able to quit my 9-5 and never go back after this year. This is the last year i will be a wage slave.
Let's get it!
Congrats g. Realist video ive seen
These are the type of videos i want to see instead of those overwhelming youtubers selling fake news. thanks man
Cal Newport’s book “So Good They Can’t Ignore You” shows something similar. You actually gain mastery first, then passion comes second. Like in order to have passion, you have to get good at the thing you’re doing. Great content btw❤
Honestly really inspiring, congrats on the 10k month Thomas!!
I really needed to hear this, thanks for the video.
Getting "addicted" is actually so real. I need to get addicted to my business.
Your honestly is rare online, big respect man
This is a fresh perspective. Addiction has a bad rep. But if we think deeper, we are addicted to things that makes us feel good. If we can think of the goals we want to achieve in life as a form of addiction instead of work - which usually suggests hard work, it makes the struggles and failures along the way less scary. Thanks for sharing your realisation.
Love the raw video style 💪 keep it up!
This is an interesting take. Obviously gotta be careful with addiction- you don’t wanna become addicted to making money in a gambling sense… and you may have more talent than you realize. Right now you think it’s easy but that’s the definition of talent.
I like the way you put it, but how to get addicted to something? It’s not easy for people to get addicted to something they don’t like doing. Usually addiction comes from a bad place like avoidance… look into addiction so you can be in control of your “talents” or discipline
Congrats on being the first YT entrepreneur who measured the “10k/month” in terms of profit
Love your vibe! And insight. Subbed 💪
I had this same realization about "being addicted" many years ago. That's what made me a successful UX Designer in my country. I would study day and night everyday for years and would talk to people about Design most of the time. Got a job, then climbed the ladder up to where I am now.
The issue I'm facing is I want to do something else now, but I'm not living in my parents house anymore, I'm on my own. Also I have a lot more finantial obligations and social expectations to fulfill, so I can't picture myself being addicted enough to start something else from the bottom again. It would take many years to get where I am now finantially. And I don't have the energy to to start a side hustle, also I believe it would take double the time because I wouldn't be "addicted enough" if it was only a side hustle, you know? It's really unmotivating.
It's like that "golden handcuffs" thing some people talk about here on RUclips. I don't consider mine to be golden, maybe mine are silver ones, but the effect they have on me is the same anyway. Life is hard 😑
You are a decent guy, gotta learn a lot from you.
Well done Thomas. Here is your next video idea hopefully based on your experience/observation: the best gigs for recurring income, and some indicator of complexity in terms of getting a team to fulfilling it for you and the amount of rework required. e.g. "Best 10 Freelancing Gigs for 10k a month."
I can confirm that the amount of clarity I've gotten through your sharing of thoughts has been so much greater than any youtube "influencer" out there. you never hear a youtuber said "Well I dont know how I did it but, here's what I know" and share it. I have so much respect for it, I'm starting my youtube and freelance journey and I hope to get addicted to creating.
i know this is semantics and im probably wrong, but i think a obsession would be a fit for this. It's because addiction has to do with outside forces while obsession is the internal reason of why you are doing it. There is no thinking with addiction you just want the thing that gives you dopamine and eventually it stop being fun, but then you just do it out of habit and it continues falls off. While obsession on the other hand comes from the reasoning and desires that exists internally that causes you to act, so even when the lows are low with a strong enough obsession you can soldier on until.
Hi Thomas, can please do an in depth video about how you went about creating your portfolio and tips about how others can do the same. Thanks
Keep grinding, and start investing. You are going to need it.
Really interesting video Thomas, thanks for sharing!
I can see your mindset slowly shifting. You're still doubting yourself too much. You can be a killer, a big dog, anyone can. I was the exact same like you, I can hear the exact same thought process I had, soon you'll realise your potential. Remember, you only make as much money as you tell yourself you can
Very proud of you, young man. I wish more young people took your example. It is sad that many of your peers are having such difficulties and you are making a difference in people's lives and your honest and humble attitutude makes your channel very appealing and inspiring.
Inspiring.
I'm at somewhat of a crossroad in my life, graduating as a CS student soon, and on the fence whether to go the cruise route of grinding leetcode for a great 9-5 job, or going the crazy route as a self-employed/entrepreneur.
This really helped to provide crucial insight as it is super relatable as an addicted gamer (dota2 in my case...)
if you've got a skill such as coding, please go self-employed, even if it means working for free to start with. You will eventually have companies queuing up to contract you on a 3 month basis, paying what you would have earned in a year if you were in-house. I hope it goes well!
@@fabian546 Great advice. Thank you!
I love seeing this kind of raw, human content.
It's not "addiction", it's PASSION.
Just wanted to drop this in here, a lot of people don’t workout bc they think you have to do it all the time. You don’t, 2-3x a week is good enough honestly, eventually progress to 4 if you want but 2-3x a week is A. Better then NONE and B. Enough to see noticeable results. Everyday or even near everyday is not good as it leaves you little time to recover, people often overlook the recovery part which is very important too.
watching and listening to you speak makes me feel like I found the key to my life. W Mans
Dude you’re a good storyteller not sure if anyone told you this. I was listening to this whilst making breakfast as if it was a podcast and was totally engaged the entire time
Thank you!
I'm glad I've found this channel. That's deep and plane thoughts at the same time
I love this. I love how you mentioned you rid of your car. I grew a similar sentiment not too long ago. For a period in my life, my vehicle was such a hassle especially when I was in a city where everything was so accessible and interconnected with public transit. I just did not care to have a car.
I think that in all that grinding journey you should not forget about enjoying it. There should be a balance between your passion and other parts of your life to feel more fulfilled, happy and not to burn out. Years go by, making memories is a good way to go!
inspirational... never stop making content. you are the goat, love from toronto
Glad I found your video bro much respect💪💪🫡🫡🤝
Not really the type of advice I was looking for, but congrats on achieving it! And yes! Your drive will be your addiction, the more you put into it, the more you’ll achieve. no one said it was going to be easy, but the fact that it IS something you are passionate about, will make any challenges worth surpassing. Keep it up everyone.
The purpose of life is not the abundance of possessions as many think. For they will soon vanish. The bigger issue is your purpose in life and your calling. It is not merely what you do, but who you are becoming.
That which comes easily quickly flees, but the process of life experience develops a passion and determination that no one can take away.
dude, keep going. This is fire 🔥
You know what! I’m subscribing! Congratulations on the 10k/month. I’m striving to do the same for myself to feed and house my family
It’s so vital to curb the self-limiting beliefs because they prevent you from stepping into your assignment and starting your journey. (Im there and being self aware is the first step toward changing)
These simple videos make all the difference when i think about money and building a business
This video is worth 100,000,000 views. You figured it out and it is truly that simple. This video helped me a great deal as someone who has also accomplished many things but failed to see that it was the addiction for acquiring what i wanted that got me here. Goodluck to your channel and i hope you continue to remain addicted to your growth. (btw also a big youtuber commenting from my "private" account 😊 )
I LOVE this video! I spend so much time thinking and strategizing, and less time actually getting addicted to taking action. Really appreciate the bit about you saying you aren’t especially gifted or skilled at a particular thing, just addicted. Makes me have more belief in my self.
I found obsession/addiction is what allows your mind to break free of others expectations because obsession/addictions gives you the sign-on bonus for drive, motivation, and to finally achieve that first little goal. You have 24 hours in your day, 6-8 hours of them needs to be sleep, addiction/obsession will know what to do with the rest of the day's hours, THEN, one day... it will feel like you got to where you wanted in way less time than you thought and now your obsession is finding the next move with zero, I mean ZERO mental strength. Because you just wired your mind to allow fight or flight for anything that gets in your way of the knowledge/XP you acquired for success. Side advice, be aware of any greedy traits and watch your behavior on how you react to new money. Money CAN be a drug disguised as a friend, don't enable it. I started a business 3 years ago, grossed over 700k and failed this year due to a different/worse addiction because of "ding ding ding", greed. Stay in your lane, build the bag.
Glad the algorithm gave me this video, great raw advice bro. Very inspiring.
Amazing video brother. Rooting for your next milestone all the way
I can relate to that "addiction" thing. Anything I get addicted to I put in so much effort and focus and that leads me to forums, youtube videos, saved bookmarks, articles, books, social media posts, and more. That's how I was able to surpass my son and wife in a game they've been playing for a couple of years now and even went as far as reaching the top rank that even they couldn't reach.
This is the best simple motivation i've heard yet, thx a lot for this brother. All the best to ya
You are great and you should embrace yourself as someone who is gifted and talented
This is actually a crazy good video. Really inspiring.
