Very thoughtful video. I can see an excellent Machiavellian hint of brutal reality amongst it, and it definitely is what people need for their own lives to improve. Keep doing us this great service, you'll gain the respect you desire
I'm passionate about IT. I got into the US being a dish washer and now I manage the technological infrastructure of a few buildings... I get paid ok , but I will get paid more when I move to another company and get a better position through experience and education. By keeping my same lifestyle and making more money, I can invest the difference or anything I have left over.
If you passionate about anything than efforts are irrelevant, by default efforts is part of passion. Example I love fly fishing and a guy said to me why are you working so hard to catch one fish instead of using a spinning reel system so may catch lot more fish with little effort? He is concerned about my efforts but to me I am not even aware of the efforts as a matter of fact I love the whole process of catching that single fish by planning the fishing destination, making my flies, reading the waters and fish behaviors. To me the whole journey is a pleasure, there for my passion., what people sees as hard work to me is effortless cause I love what I am doing 😂
@@shaner3723 Such a good comment, i would gladly work all day everyday if its my passion but i would hate every single minute of work if its just a way of making more money
@@shaner3723 hi, the answer from any one should be no they haven’t got rich from my videos, hopefully they have changed the way people think about money and success but getting rich / wealthy takes time. I have only been on RUclips for 2 1/2 years , in my opinion for most people to change things around and take action will result in getting rich in around ten years, but the journey doesn’t stop there. If you try to get rich quick you will risk getting poor very fast. Long term! MT 😎
Yep. I keep telling that to my wife. If you want more people to notice, do things differently, or offer something extra. She wants our son to learn to play piano. That's great, but millions of other kids are doing the same thing over here, all learning the same classical stuff for the same exams. In the end there will be so much competition to be among the best, and a need to spend a fortune on getting lessons from more than mediocre tutors to get above the masses.
I would add regarding "following your passion," do follow your strengths and don't do jobs that focus on your weaknesses. Personality types are a real thing in my experience, my introverted coworkers have to force themselves to be sociable in large groups, they'll always be at a disadvantage in that area. Most extroverts hate doing detailed spreadsheet admin work, they will always be at a disadvantage in that area. Align your strengths to something that is in demand by the market
like tate said you are better off following what you are good at instead of your passion, You won't have a hard time doing it so you probably won't hate it either
To me it's not just about getting rich It's about doing things that helps others, and it's my passion that drives me to do those things. If you only do things just to get rich, you'll regret not doing want you always liked doing, that which makes life interesting. Follow your passion not what works for others, getting rich is just a by product of your passion and smart work!
Better poor and full of passions than rich and in constant burnout. Who needs money anyway, once you cover your basic needs. Consumism is really a cancer.
I hope Mark knows what he's done for so many. As a kid with no father figure to guide him; your advice over the years was exactly what I needed when I found your channel. Changed my life. Well, helped me wake up and change my own.
Ask yourself How do you want to be remembered? As a person who compromise on their goals & dreams doing things to make others happy and avoid arguments Or The person who stood up for what they believed in, had a clear vision and live their life on their terms. You need to be OPEN TO IDEAS but CLOSED TO COMPROMISES
But not so closed to compromise you become stubborn and refuse to recognize that sometimes, your ideas are imperfect and occasionally outright bad. This is especially true in politics/policy making.
What do you want to be remembered for? Bro most people won’t know you ever existed and when the people who remembered you die then it will be like you was never here, Doesn’t matter what people remember you by because you no longer here, So you took it a step further, Not only do you care what people think….You care what people think when you are died???
Find something that interests you, pursue it, realize it's not for you or it just doesn't work, find something along the way that is more interesting to you, pursue that, realize THAT'S not for you either, and continue doing this until you have the best bits from a bunch of things that sort of interest you. That's how you find your special sauce.
Is this a good time to buy stocks/crypto in the Europe? I know everyone is saying stocks are at a discount and all, but just how long will It take for us to recover, obviously there are strategies to manoeuver in this present market but these strategies doesn't come common to the average folk, or am I better off putting my money elsewhere.
@Emilio Yepez I agree, that's the more reason I prefer my day to day investment decisions being guided by an inv-coach, seeing that their entire skillset is built around short & long term holdings for profit realisation, coupled with the exclusive analysis they possess, it's near impossible to not out-perform. I've been investing with a coach literally for 4years, and have accrued approx. $1.4m in net-profits thus far.
@Emilio Yepez I am guided by *Robin Brezik* I found her on a CNBC interview where she was featured and reached out to her. She has since provided entry and exit points on the securities I focus on. You can look her up online if you care supervision.
I know people that went into industries like cleaning or waste management. They needed a job, they found a place that was hiring. They made that job their passion. They opened their own business, they made money. But no one likes these stories.
1:13 - Don't follow your passion, follow your effort. 3:38 - Don't manifest success, develop grit. 6:13 - Don't slow down, move swiftly with your actions but be patient with the results. 7:38 - Don't follow the rules, be disruptive. 9:04 - Don't compromise, be open to ideas.
I'm glad I wasn't the only one thinking of this because when I'm soo passionate about my music, things turn into hard work. I was tired of making things that I wanted so I started to do things that what consumers want. That turns into hard work, discipline, and strategy. I don't know why people nowadays don't simply want us to give the hard truth on what reality is. We have to do things on what we don't like. Otherwise, we won't grow. Always pursue the one skill to practice and keep doing it no mater how boring it is. We must also strategize consistently to get better results. Passion should definitely be removed from the dictionary and rather not be taught in lectures from schools and other influencers. If I'm going to be honest. Most of these gurus like to use that excuse to keep our toes up and rely certain words on what they say to keep having clicks on RUclips.
I might’ve had the idea of becoming a professional cellist at one point, but that stopped once I became part of my high school’s highest orchestra and our district orchestra (because of college admissions). The pressure of obligating myself to the orchestra actually made me hate my cello. I wanted to throw my cello off of a building and quit after playing for 13 years at that point. Luckily I persevered and still play my cello today. I probably would’ve had a breakdown if I pursued it professionally, so I completely agree with you.
Summary of video: sell your soul for money Be cold. Calculating. Focused only on money. Following market trends not your heart. This only works if you are a lower stage of existence. This only works if you don’t have much of a soul. But for those of us with more advanced souls, life is meant to be lived with passion. Exploring experiencing creating living. If you don’t understand this concept you never will
Agreed. That’s why I am focusing on making money doing something I don’t like too much. Whilst doing my passion as a hobby not a job. Then I will follow my passion once I’ve got enough money.
I'm a digital artist, drawing is my passion and I love doing it. I work for a company drawing vectors and icons and I'm doing great. I live from my passion and I'm at peace with myself. Working is not that much of an effort for me and it leaves me plenty of time and money for my other hobby wich is basically music I have dedicated my whole life to my passion and I finally found the way to live off it. I dont think I cold work and live doing anything else.
If you follow your passion, you might end up rich in spirit but poor in wallet. But if you provide what the market wants and work hard at it, you can be rich in both! Just make sure you're not providing what the market wants in a way that compromises your integrity.
1. Where to you freely choose to apply your time? (Follow your effort) 2. Develop grit: Use failures as learning opportunities 3. Break the norm. Don't fish where others are fishing
I understand what mark is saying by not following your passion, but i still agree with that saying. You cannot advance to the point of making money if you are not passionate about what you are doing and the reason you get bored og your job is because you were never passionate enough about it in the first place. As you get further into skills there is a bigger and bigger difference between subjects you like and subjects you really like. A lot people said just chacing pure money ended up just costing them money as they were never passionate enough to continue
personally, the manifesting thing is true to an extent. Ofc not just saying "I'll be rich" and sit on your ass, but when you say smth (reasonable) like "I'll get to x in my life" and truly believe it, and also work for it, your mindset will be in a healthier space
I think one can't be naive. For me manifestation always follows effort. But not always in terms of "hard work". For me "manifestation" just means starting to create opportunities for yourself and changing your mindset from "this isn't possible" to "how can I do this?". So I'd be careful to throw outthe baby with the bathwater!
I feel that last point about compromise is the most important part of the video. After burning myself several times just mere months into my self-employment in ways that cost me several thousand dollars, I quickly came to this realization. I currently have only one business partner who I actually trust and he has this issue very bad. He hates conflict and often I have to push him to do what he has to do for our bottom line. He's getting better though. I will absolutely share this part of your video with him.
It was on Dirty Jobs almost 2 decades ago I heard from somebody that followed their passion "When you do your hobby for a living, it just becomes work"
Music, and more specifically, making music, has always undoubtedly been a passion of mine. It feels like making music as a full time job would be the only way i could truly be happy in life and wake up excited for the day. I've been dedicated to my craft and have been consistently improving my skills for almost a decade. I've sacrificed immensely to have time to do that. Often neglecting my personal needs and essentially being a recluse with no friends focusing as much energy as i possibly could into it. Although, fame and fortune has never been the goal. I see money as more of a byproduct of achieving my goals. If i focus on making good music that people will enjoy and can relate to, the money will follow. But if money was my goal, i would be too focused and that, and probably wouldn't make good or relatable music which would cause me to make little to no money. I've always said that chasing money will leave you broke, but chasing excellence is bound to bring you riches. I have no plan on stopping until the day i die and I can say with 100% certainty that i will do what I set out to do. Because the only way you can truly fail, is if you give up. Otherwise you will just encounter obstacles that will make you stronger and more equipped as you overcome each one. Growth is always a success. I take it one day at a time and only focus on what i can do right now in this moment to improve. And that philosophy has led me to consistent growth. Great video! Just thought I'd share my thoughts on it.
Nobody can become financially successful overnight. They put in background work but we tend to see the finished part. Fear is a dangerous component, hindering us from taking bold steps we need in other to reach our goals. you have to contend with inflation, recession, decisions from the Feds and all. I was able to increase my portfolio by 589k USD in months. You have to seek for help in the right places.
I think it's not always about fear. Sometimes realistic factors discourage people from reaching their goals in life. For example, I have tried to invest in the stock market several times, but have always been put off by fluctuations in the value of shares
True, people downplay the role of advisors until being burnt by their emotions, I remember couple years back during covid lockdown, I needed a good boost to help my business stay afloat, thus researched for license advisors, That was the game changer, helped grow my reserve to nearly $1.5m after subsequent investments to date
@@GranadoPechous-hh7qy Please how to speak with this person you speak of? I really want to do something about my financial stats ... guess it's my opportunity now since I missed the last
If possible, follow your passion in a way that leads to wealth. I am an EMT in school to be a paramedic and my wife is in school to be a nurse while working full time at the hospital. Our combined income is about 100K in a low cost of living area, we have no debt other than our house, 20k in investments and 18k in our emergency fund. We’re saving by putting money in the S&P 500 until we have enough to pull it out and put it in our first rental property. We save about 3-4K per month and still manage to live decently without an inflated lifestyle. We are following our passions in a way that builds wealth rapidly by working at places that pay well and advancing our skills. I am 21 and my wife is 20. Our income will be at least 150k once we both graduate.
Shouldn't come as a suprise. Social media is a hustle and a good side hustle for the already rich. It's not like it is 2005 anymore when people use to upload fun shitty cat videos here just for fun.
There's a great book called 'How To Get Rich' by the late publisher Felix Dennis - he covers this exact point - you are far more likely to get rich from something completely mundane like owning gravel pits rather than something interesting.
I follow my passion which is music. OK it's not the most lucrative job but nothing comes close to the satisfaction of a group of people making a successful tight noise together. These moments you can't buy and if I was to live my life again the only difference I would do is to learn to play at an earlier age than I did. Not because I would have a better chance of world wide success (which only happens to a lucky few) but because I would be a better musician and have even more successful collaborations.
The importance of passion - or whatever you call it - is this: Starting up a business is extremely hard and requires a lot of dedication and sacrifice. So if you don't have "passion" for what your business is about, it is very unlikely you will be able to persist through the difficulties. For instance, I have passion for natural products and tea, and that's the reason I have been able to develop and hold up my tea business for such a long time - whereas if the business had been about something that I have absolutely not much interest in - say, car tyres or women's beauty products - then I would probably not have persisted.
I totally agree with this. Never follow your passion if you want a living wage, especially if it's creative. On the other hand, don't we all have the right to be reasonably happy at work? I used my passion to escape 17 years in miserable office work and toxic co workers. I'm poorer but happier but I could really use the money so I'm considering my back to work options after 11 years self employed. The last few years have been tough. :/
I think you have made a huge generalization regarding passion Although some passions are just a temporary spark that fades away quickly and consequently is unreliable to drive a durable success But there are some passions that pass the test of time and can give your bussiness more longevity and make it more fun So you can search for these passions and let them direct your life
Who else after watching Marks vids gets super hyped to take their life into their own hands, surround yourself with brothers you trust and create your dream life? 👇 (Alex Renko - Teen Self Development RUclipsr)
@@Make_Boxing_Great_Again I think that value of these videos is one thing and staying motivated/disciplined on your goal is another thing. It's like you would say that video with dietitian saying that you shouldn't eat too much sugar is useless because you still crave for it. Well it's for another time, you can't pack everything all at once.
Learn to be in demand. And if you want to break away from having a boss, the only way you are going to be able to do that is to go off on your own. Make sure you use your job to learn enough skills to be able to do this. Once you’ve reached your threshold of working for someone else, you’ll be able to pursue your own pursuits and you’ll be more dedicated as all the pressure will be on yourself - only through extreme heat and pressure are gems made 👍🏼
Now at this time of my life, i've been stuck with i whant to do in live. There are so many things you could do and so much choice. Its like i'm in a burnout at 21 years old.
My problem is that I'm kinda lazy and procrastinate too much if I have to do something that I don't like. Unless someone shows me step by step how to make lots of money, I'd rather do what I enjoy.
I was told this my whole life: get a job in something you love What they don't tell you is once you have to do what you love 40-60 hours a week fir the rest of your life, you won't love it anymore. So I decided I'm going to learn a trade to make tons of money, which I can then use that money in my free time to enjoy what I'm passionate about
I'll add a point. Turning your passion into a job makes it a job, not a passion. I love sailing and eventually became a tall ship captain. After a decade+ of sailing, I was tired of it. It's only now, after being away from it for over a decade, that I'm getting the urge to sail again.
I actually do what I like in Japan, and as a result became richer than before, more time with myself and family.. I actually quit alcohol, lots of gaming and junkfood too as I’m not searching for that extra dopamine. BUT, becoming rich in your field of enjoyment requires you to often do lots of things which aren’t enjoyable, which can kill all the fun if you’re not careful.
You always give good sound advise. People always fall for the same scam it’s just worded differently. Ask yourself why someone who found a way to make millions would bother to let anyone know and them charge them for it. 🤦♂️
This is a good point. I followed my passion and now I live in Japan living my dream. For the most it is wonderful. I wasn’t money motivated to do this. My job pays well and I can live well. But under the definition of rich is something I will not become. Even if you say to me about multiple streams of income, my visa or job contract wont allow that. But I would rather be this way round for certain.
You are right about all . I didn't get rich but I increase my income recently. And the most of this thing is happening to me, But I'm following the path that you are saying now. And I totaly agree with you .
Truly love rule 3 and 4. I actually live by both. Don't slow down and don't follow the rules. I'd like to add one rule to your list. Always walk in like you own the place. Not in a snobby manner but in absolute confidence. You can always course correct, when needed.
i always make my changes over the course of a few weeks, unless i have to make a change because if i dont, it will hurt my business. taking your time is not bad, you just cant fall into the trap of NOT doing it.
Compromising just means nobody is completely happy. Win-wins are better across the board. But when there is no such thing, one would be hard pressed to find a successful leader that compromised regularly. The most effective leaders were the ones that said "you'll see I'm right, watch," then had the confidence to prove themselves.
Always best to define your terms as sharply as possible. "Compromise" gets interpreted in different ways by many people. I'd argue that "win/win" is what you should strive for in business or just don't do business at all with whomever. Compromise strikes me as lose/lose but tries to save face by minimizing loss. For instance, I'm not going to compromise with people who share the same views as Jazz Jennings parents. To do so wouldn't just be an undermining of my principles, it would be the complete loss of them by abandonment.
That's a good point, how about hobby, there are some people follow their individual hobby like drawing, dancing, photography, and other stuff and become their main job and some people becoming rich cuz of their hobby
I’d rather follow my passion and be fulfilled and happy, than be rich. You can be rich in a lot of ways other than money. I’ve also learned if you follow your passion and truly love what you do, the money will come. Opportunities start coming from all directions.
The problem is that when you are not rich you have to sacrifice most of your time for the job, and there is little time/energy left to follow your passion.
@@rebeccaa2433 I doubt it's possible. Whenever you turn your passion into job it becomes just a job, and you are going to have another passion. That's one of the points of this video. There can be rare exceptions like earning money by doing different forms of art, but this is rare. In general passion and job don't go together.
@@innerbytes not true. I personally experienced this. I went back to school for teaching when I was 40. I am now a college professor and I LOVE it. I always had a passion for wanting to teach and once I followed it the opportunities have been flowing.
I think manifestation helps people, especially women, with limiting beliefs. Believing you can do it means that you end up taking steps and actions because you have the confidence to do so! 😊
Tbh I normally avoid get rich vids like a plague, but you're calling out a lot of bs spouted by fakers and you actually know what you're talking about. 👍
Another great video. There are people making a fortune out of raw sewage or general waste, and it's highly unlikely they are passionate about it, but its providing the lifestyle they could only dream of. I received some sound advice many moons ago, never fall in love with your idea and this video hits on that to a certain degree. Its great you have an interest in your product/service, that you can bring knowledge to it in terms of developing it (My business specialises in reproducing retro county jerseys and im a huge GAA fan) but ultimately, you can never let emotion cloud your judgement.
What is rich...? My name is richard, but I was never rich...and I thought it was a bad thing...but I didn't knew that being rich isn't about money ...but it’s to know, that being rich is an art that can't be bought with money…but can only be achieved without money...
Having a passion and no vision or the skills achieved in years of work, is not enough. It takes a lot of work to really make your passion a successful business. Not all people become the best in what they are passionate about. You need to be realistic about your capabilities. And it depends on what you are passionate about and if you have potential. But you have to know yourself and grind. Passion without work is useless.
First sensible chat on you tube. The manifestation ones are the worst as they simply don't work. The biggest block I am having is figuring out what to do that the market wants and where to start probably like many of us who are no so tech savvy in a world that is full of "influencers"... i just want to make money but helping others not being unethical..
Oh boy!!! The "dont slow down" part. I relate to that all to much! I do something a day and this something a day made a lot of people, who personally know me, feel some type of way. And i was always told "dont do to much" or "do it every other day". When i realize that not one person told me out of my personal people, "keep going". I realize that the personal people in my life were just not my people. And because i am not goimg to slow down, a lot of people left me in my personal life (friends and family) and i learned that it is okay to let go 🙂
The word (RICH) also need to be defined just like the word (PASSION) 🤔 for example a rich person in the Philippines not same as a rich person in USA so when it’s a person really rich.?
The thing about manifestation is... if your too shallow in your understanding of it, you will have mediocre results for what you want. Most people are manifesting by default, with a lot of limiting beliefs, programmings, and other unhelpful perspectives that hold back those desires you want to manifest. Like an invisible foot on your brake pedal, hidden in your inner blind spot. Hit the gas as hard as you want with effort, but a foot on the gas, no matter how hard you press, still leads to burnouts in the parking lot with a foot on the brakes, not truly getting anywhere down the road. A guru course won't teach you how to manifest, as words don't teach. Experiencing manifesting does teach, but you have to be selfaware enough to see the subtleties, and practice manifestation deliberately, to truly get anywhere with it. There's a lot more to it, just another skill that you can learn along the way to becoming wealthy
What I'm planning on doing is making my money with various crypto platforms, then putting that into passive income funds. But while I wait for the passive income funds to mature, I'll go long term sick from work.
Hi, the trouble with following your passion blindly is that if it can’t make enough money to get you to where you want to be then you have not valued your time. Passion is great if it can deliver but if not keep it as a hobby or side hustle. Thanks for watching NT 😎
You are viewing #2 completely wrong Where you are right is the fact that 99% of people don't understand or properly apply visualization/manifestation/affirmations in the way that DOES benefit an individual. I always coin it like this, does your thoughts have a direct impact on your actions in life, and therefore the life you create? And most would say yes. If so, would you not want to fill your head with more positive thoughts than negative thoughts? Wouldn't you want to reprogram your subconscious mind to benefit positive thinking as a majority in your life? And let's not fall into the delusional trap either, as it's easy to fall into extremes in any scenario (as was the case you have given to justify your #2 claim). I have nothing to sell in regards to #2 but when the very Creator of our existence made a book called the Bible that mentions #2 in many parts of the New and Old Testament, maybe there IS a way we can utilize it without falling into traps as the one you've stated. Here is how #2 changed my life: 1) When I realized it is only a catalyst for the hard and smart work I am already doing. 2) When I realized it can begin altering my actions to produce more positive results. (and with anything that compounds in life, a slight change now is a big accumulative change in hindsight) 3) When you don't depend on it as an end-all-be-all solution for your problems and realize this may be that first and last 10% you need to get going or to break through in life. Basically, it's an edge against your competitors. 4) When you realize you don't have to SPEND A DIME to, 1) get and 2) utilize #2 fully in your life. So yes, NEVER spend a dime on those Guru's who sell you courses. 5) When you don't have to spend a SECOND of your waking day in order to apply this and get the most results. I still have my waking hours to my own devices and utilize #2 during my sleep.
KEY POINT: Passion is the spark, but effort makes you successful. You can't expect to follow your passion and have it easy!

CLOSED TO COMPROMISES
But what if someone mugs you at gunpoint?
But not so closed to compromise you become stubborn and refuse to recognize that sometimes, your ideas are imperfect and occasionally outright bad. This is especially true in politics/policy making.
I just want money to sustain myself and do game dev on the side
What do you want to be remembered for? Bro most people won’t know you ever existed and when the people who remembered you die then it will be like you was never here, Doesn’t matter what people remember you by because you no longer here, So you took it a step further, Not only do you care what people think….You care what people think when you are died???
I dont want to be remembered for anything. I dont care what other think only myself
Find something that interests you, pursue it, realize it's not for you or it just doesn't work, find something along the way that is more interesting to you, pursue that, realize THAT'S not for you either, and continue doing this until you have the best bits from a bunch of things that sort of interest you. That's how you find your special sauce.
Is this a good time to buy stocks/crypto in the Europe? I know everyone is saying stocks are at a discount and all, but just how long will It take for us to recover, obviously there are strategies to manoeuver in this present market but these strategies doesn't come common to the average folk, or am I better off putting my money elsewhere.
@Emilio Yepez I agree, that's the more reason I prefer my day to day investment decisions being guided by an inv-coach, seeing that their entire skillset is built around short & long term holdings for profit realisation, coupled with the exclusive analysis they possess, it's near impossible to not out-perform. I've been investing with a coach literally for 4years, and have accrued approx. $1.4m in net-profits thus far.
@Emilio Yepez I am guided by *Robin Brezik* I found her on a CNBC interview where she was featured and reached out to her. She has since provided entry and exit points on the securities I focus on. You can look her up online if you care supervision.
I know people that went into industries like cleaning or waste management. They needed a job, they found a place that was hiring. They made that job their passion. They opened their own business, they made money. But no one likes these stories.
1:13 - Don't follow your passion, follow your effort.
3:38 - Don't manifest success, develop grit.
6:13 - Don't slow down, move swiftly with your actions but be patient with the results.
7:38 - Don't follow the rules, be disruptive.
9:04 - Don't compromise, be open to ideas.
There you go. Someone summarized the mouthful that he had
I'm glad I wasn't the only one thinking of this because when I'm soo passionate about my music, things turn into hard work. I was tired of making things that I wanted so I started to do things that what consumers want. That turns into hard work, discipline, and strategy. I don't know why people nowadays don't simply want us to give the hard truth on what reality is. We have to do things on what we don't like. Otherwise, we won't grow. Always pursue the one skill to practice and keep doing it no mater how boring it is. We must also strategize consistently to get better results. Passion should definitely be removed from the dictionary and rather not be taught in lectures from schools and other influencers. If I'm going to be honest. Most of these gurus like to use that excuse to keep our toes up and rely certain words on what they say to keep having clicks on RUclips.
These gurus want your money. They are scammers
@@doomedwojak420 Yes indeed. I see it as haram business.
I quit trying hard with music, now I actually want to do it again, because I don't have to force it
I might’ve had the idea of becoming a professional cellist at one point, but that stopped once I became part of my high school’s highest orchestra and our district orchestra (because of college admissions).
The pressure of obligating myself to the orchestra actually made me hate my cello. I wanted to throw my cello off of a building and quit after playing for 13 years at that point. Luckily I persevered and still play my cello today.
I probably would’ve had a breakdown if I pursued it professionally, so I completely agree with you.
@@doomedwojak420
Thats what they get rich . Fraud
Summary of video: sell your soul for money
Be cold. Calculating. Focused only on money.
Following market trends not your heart.
This only works if you are a lower stage of existence. This only works if you don’t have much of a soul.
But for those of us with more advanced souls, life is meant to be lived with passion. Exploring experiencing creating living.
If you don’t understand this concept you never will
Да! Я листал комментарии в надежде увидеть ваш.
Agreed. That’s why I am focusing on making money doing something I don’t like too much. Whilst doing my passion as a hobby not a job.
Then I will follow my passion once I’ve got enough money.
I'm a digital artist, drawing is my passion and I love doing it. I work for a company drawing vectors and icons and I'm doing great.
I live from my passion and I'm at peace with myself. Working is not that much of an effort for me and it leaves me plenty of time and money for my other hobby wich is basically music
I have dedicated my whole life to my passion and I finally found the way to live off it. I dont think I cold work and live doing anything else.
If you follow your passion, you might end up rich in spirit but poor in wallet. But if you provide what the market wants and work hard at it, you can be rich in both! Just make sure you're not providing what the market wants in a way that compromises your integrity.
But what if the market only wants things that compromise my integrity?
@@paulstaker8861 Then find another market.
@@jordankruk Does not exist
Passion means something you're good at and enjoy doing. Not so mysterious.
After listening to all these gurus, there’s something I’ve learned. Everyone has a different opinion about how they became successful.
1. Where to you freely choose to apply your time? (Follow your effort)
2. Develop grit: Use failures as learning opportunities
3. Break the norm. Don't fish where others are fishing
I understand what mark is saying by not following your passion, but i still agree with that saying. You cannot advance to the point of making money if you are not passionate about what you are doing and the reason you get bored og your job is because you were never passionate enough about it in the first place. As you get further into skills there is a bigger and bigger difference between subjects you like and subjects you really like. A lot people said just chacing pure money ended up just costing them money as they were never passionate enough to continue
When you invest, you're buying a day you don't have to work
Assets that can make you rich
Bitcoin
Stocks
Real estate
You're right , it's obvious a lot of people remain poor due to ignorance, it's better to take risks and make sacrifices than to remain poor
I'm from Spain i have been an investor in the crypto market for over 2 years now
Now is the best time to purchase and invest in Bitcoin, stop procrastinating!!
Learn and trade under a guide I do same and I hardly make losses in the market
personally, the manifesting thing is true to an extent. Ofc not just saying "I'll be rich" and sit on your ass, but when you say smth (reasonable) like "I'll get to x in my life" and truly believe it, and also work for it, your mindset will be in a healthier space
Yup, your physical actions will follow your thoughts ,
Manifestation has always involved action people forget that
I think one can't be naive. For me manifestation always follows effort. But not always in terms of "hard work". For me "manifestation" just means starting to create opportunities for yourself and changing your mindset from "this isn't possible" to "how can I do this?". So I'd be careful to throw outthe baby with the bathwater!
Word❤
I feel that last point about compromise is the most important part of the video. After burning myself several times just mere months into my self-employment in ways that cost me several thousand dollars, I quickly came to this realization. I currently have only one business partner who I actually trust and he has this issue very bad. He hates conflict and often I have to push him to do what he has to do for our bottom line. He's getting better though. I will absolutely share this part of your video with him.
It was on Dirty Jobs almost 2 decades ago I heard from somebody that followed their passion
"When you do your hobby for a living, it just becomes work"
When you do your hobby for a living it becomes work
When you don't do your hobby for a living what becomes life?
Music, and more specifically, making music, has always undoubtedly been a passion of mine. It feels like making music as a full time job would be the only way i could truly be happy in life and wake up excited for the day. I've been dedicated to my craft and have been consistently improving my skills for almost a decade. I've sacrificed immensely to have time to do that. Often neglecting my personal needs and essentially being a recluse with no friends focusing as much energy as i possibly could into it. Although, fame and fortune has never been the goal. I see money as more of a byproduct of achieving my goals. If i focus on making good music that people will enjoy and can relate to, the money will follow. But if money was my goal, i would be too focused and that, and probably wouldn't make good or relatable music which would cause me to make little to no money. I've always said that chasing money will leave you broke, but chasing excellence is bound to bring you riches. I have no plan on stopping until the day i die and I can say with 100% certainty that i will do what I set out to do. Because the only way you can truly fail, is if you give up. Otherwise you will just encounter obstacles that will make you stronger and more equipped as you overcome each one. Growth is always a success. I take it one day at a time and only focus on what i can do right now in this moment to improve. And that philosophy has led me to consistent growth. Great video! Just thought I'd share my thoughts on it.
Nobody can become financially successful overnight. They put in background work but we tend to see the finished part.
Fear is a dangerous component, hindering us from taking bold steps we need in other to reach our goals. you have to contend with inflation, recession, decisions from the Feds and all.
I was able to increase my portfolio by 589k USD in months. You have to seek for help in the right places.
I think it's not always about fear. Sometimes realistic factors discourage people from reaching their goals in life. For example, I have tried to invest in the stock market several times, but have always been put off by fluctuations in the value of shares
True, people downplay the role of advisors until being burnt by their emotions, I remember couple years back during covid lockdown, I needed a good boost to help my business stay afloat, thus researched for license advisors, That was the game changer, helped grow my reserve to nearly $1.5m after subsequent investments to date

If possible, follow your passion in a way that leads to wealth. I am an EMT in school to be a paramedic and my wife is in school to be a nurse while working full time at the hospital. Our combined income is about 100K in a low cost of living area, we have no debt other than our house, 20k in investments and 18k in our emergency fund. We’re saving by putting money in the S&P 500 until we have enough to pull it out and put it in our first rental property. We save about 3-4K per month and still manage to live decently without an inflated lifestyle. We are following our passions in a way that builds wealth rapidly by working at places that pay well and advancing our skills. I am 21 and my wife is 20. Our income will be at least 150k once we both graduate.
Sooo you are just using us for adsense?

Shouldn't come as a suprise. Social media is a hustle and a good side hustle for the already rich. It's not like it is 2005 anymore when people use to upload fun shitty cat videos here just for fun.
Remember that this is not his primary business, he has many phisical shops and investments so this RUclips thing is done more for passion than money
It doesnt matter if you follow your passion or work hard. The economy is based on heritage. The granpa is quite opptimistic.
Ооооо, да!
Также нельзя забывать о элементе удачи и ошибке вышившего.
There's a great book called 'How To Get Rich' by the late publisher Felix Dennis - he covers this exact point - you are far more likely to get rich from something completely mundane like owning gravel pits rather than something interesting.
I had this ephinany two days ago. It's not my passion which will bring me success. Changed everything now
I follow my passion which is music. OK it's not the most lucrative job but nothing comes close to the satisfaction of a group of people making a successful tight noise together. These moments you can't buy and if I was to live my life again the only difference I would do is to learn to play at an earlier age than I did. Not because I would have a better chance of world wide success (which only happens to a lucky few) but because I would be a better musician and have even more successful collaborations.
The importance of passion - or whatever you call it - is this: Starting up a business is extremely hard and requires a lot of dedication and sacrifice. So if you don't have "passion" for what your business is about, it is very unlikely you will be able to persist through the difficulties. For instance, I have passion for natural products and tea, and that's the reason I have been able to develop and hold up my tea business for such a long time - whereas if the business had been about something that I have absolutely not much interest in - say, car tyres or women's beauty products - then I would probably not have persisted.
I totally agree with this. Never follow your passion if you want a living wage, especially if it's creative. On the other hand, don't we all have the right to be reasonably happy at work? I used my passion to escape 17 years in miserable office work and toxic co workers. I'm poorer but happier but I could really use the money so I'm considering my back to work options after 11 years self employed. The last few years have been tough. :/
I think you have made a huge generalization regarding passion
Although some passions are just a temporary spark that fades away quickly and consequently is unreliable to drive a durable success
But there are some passions that pass the test of time and can give your bussiness more longevity and make it more fun
So you can search for these passions and let them direct your life
An amazing video Mark. Agree with other comments: a RUclipsr with high morals and speaks the truth.
Who else after watching Marks vids gets super hyped to take their life into their own hands, surround yourself with brothers you trust and create your dream life? 👇 (Alex Renko - Teen Self Development RUclipsr)
It takes more than being super hyped for 5 minutes to become self made. These videos have no value.
@@Make_Boxing_Great_Again I think that value of these videos is one thing and staying motivated/disciplined on your goal is another thing. It's like you would say that video with dietitian saying that you shouldn't eat too much sugar is useless because you still crave for it. Well it's for another time, you can't pack everything all at once.
I have a passion of cake decorating and I made $4.5k in April teaching cake decorating outside of my regular job.
Well done, that shows you are following your effort, as it's clear you spend a lot of time/effort doing it :)
Learn to be in demand. And if you want to break away from having a boss, the only way you are going to be able to do that is to go off on your own. Make sure you use your job to learn enough skills to be able to do this.
Once you’ve reached your threshold of working for someone else, you’ll be able to pursue your own pursuits and you’ll be more dedicated as all the pressure will be on yourself - only through extreme heat and pressure are gems made 👍🏼
This is just capitalism in general
Now at this time of my life, i've been stuck with i whant to do in live. There are so many things you could do and so much choice. Its like i'm in a burnout at 21 years old.
My problem is that I'm kinda lazy and procrastinate too much if I have to do something that I don't like. Unless someone shows me step by step how to make lots of money, I'd rather do what I enjoy.
ChatGPT can show you it step by step :)
I was told this my whole life: get a job in something you love
What they don't tell you is once you have to do what you love 40-60 hours a week fir the rest of your life, you won't love it anymore.
So I decided I'm going to learn a trade to make tons of money, which I can then use that money in my free time to enjoy what I'm passionate about
I'll add a point. Turning your passion into a job makes it a job, not a passion. I love sailing and eventually became a tall ship captain. After a decade+ of sailing, I was tired of it. It's only now, after being away from it for over a decade, that I'm getting the urge to sail again.
I actually do what I like in Japan, and as a result became richer than before, more time with myself and family..
I actually quit alcohol, lots of gaming and junkfood too as I’m not searching for that extra dopamine.
BUT, becoming rich in your field of enjoyment requires you to often do lots of things which aren’t enjoyable, which can kill all the fun if you’re not careful.
I often manifest. This leads to focus and dedication.
Mark can you do one about debt, credit and how to leverage credit to advance a small business, please? Love your content.
You always give good sound advise. People always fall for the same scam it’s just worded differently. Ask yourself why someone who found a way to make millions would bother to let anyone know and them charge them for it. 🤦♂️
This is a good point. I followed my passion and now I live in Japan living my dream. For the most it is wonderful. I wasn’t money motivated to do this. My job pays well and I can live well. But under the definition of rich is something I will not become. Even if you say to me about multiple streams of income, my visa or job contract wont allow that. But I would rather be this way round for certain.
Passion: Create something on your own. This guy just sell what people with passion created. A middle man.
You created that thumbnail with a burning passion
You are right about all . I didn't get rich but I increase my income recently. And the most of this thing is happening to me, But I'm following the path that you are saying now. And I totaly agree with you .
My passion is to become rich...so how i can become rich if i'll not follow that passion? 🤔
Truly love rule 3 and 4. I actually live by both. Don't slow down and don't follow the rules. I'd like to add one rule to your list. Always walk in like you own the place. Not in a snobby manner but in absolute confidence. You can always course correct, when needed.
You killed it Sir, thank you for adding common sense to the discourse.
i always make my changes over the course of a few weeks, unless i have to make a change because if i dont, it will hurt my business. taking your time is not bad, you just cant fall into the trap of NOT doing it.
Last time I checked my bank doesn't deposit "passion checks"
opening a business is not my passion, but with good product to sell, a team of employees and good management, I can make millions
This guy has understood life the same way a brick wall understands running.
Compromising just means nobody is completely happy. Win-wins are better across the board. But when there is no such thing, one would be hard pressed to find a successful leader that compromised regularly. The most effective leaders were the ones that said "you'll see I'm right, watch," then had the confidence to prove themselves.
I’m glad someone finally said it
I mean nowadays you can literally become rich out of anything, creating a demand is easy If you can master the media
Always best to define your terms as sharply as possible. "Compromise" gets interpreted in different ways by many people. I'd argue that "win/win" is what you should strive for in business or just don't do business at all with whomever. Compromise strikes me as lose/lose but tries to save face by minimizing loss.
For instance, I'm not going to compromise with people who share the same views as Jazz Jennings parents. To do so wouldn't just be an undermining of my principles, it would be the complete loss of them by abandonment.
That's a good point, how about hobby, there are some people follow their individual hobby like drawing, dancing, photography, and other stuff and become their main job and some people becoming rich cuz of their hobby
I really agree with the point about not following your passion. Good video
I’d rather follow my passion and be fulfilled and happy, than be rich. You can be rich in a lot of ways other than money. I’ve also learned if you follow your passion and truly love what you do, the money will come. Opportunities start coming from all directions.
The problem is that when you are not rich you have to sacrifice most of your time for the job, and there is little time/energy left to follow your passion.
@@innerbytesBut if your passion is your job, then wouldn't you be following your passion anyway?
@@innerbytes The point is to choose a job doing something you are passionate about and love. The money will come then.
@@rebeccaa2433 I doubt it's possible. Whenever you turn your passion into job it becomes just a job, and you are going to have another passion. That's one of the points of this video. There can be rare exceptions like earning money by doing different forms of art, but this is rare. In general passion and job don't go together.
@@innerbytes not true. I personally experienced this. I went back to school for teaching when I was 40. I am now a college professor and I LOVE it. I always had a passion for wanting to teach and once I followed it the opportunities have been flowing.
Don't follow your passion, follow your passion harder.
"Manifest your success" is definitely the dumbest kind of advice ;) Great channel, thank you :)
Someone who has passion as job is Forest Gump mowing a football field, after he became rich from years of hard work and dedication
Passion doesn't makes you rich, but it makes you enjoy the works more
It's not passion as much as what you excel at like or not ,save your passion for off time .
I think manifestation helps people, especially women, with limiting beliefs. Believing you can do it means that you end up taking steps and actions because you have the confidence to do so! 😊
Women are the number 1 promoters of this new age manifesting bs
Hi there MT! Just wanted to say thanks for making these high quality videos and helping us. 14 y/o here
wow the thumbnail style looks different that’s cool🔥🔥🔥
Been watching you since the beginning. You never miss
Tbh I normally avoid get rich vids like a plague, but you're calling out a lot of bs spouted by fakers and you actually know what you're talking about. 👍
Another great video. There are people making a fortune out of raw sewage or general waste, and it's highly unlikely they are passionate about it, but its providing the lifestyle they could only dream of. I received some sound advice many moons ago, never fall in love with your idea and this video hits on that to a certain degree. Its great you have an interest in your product/service, that you can bring knowledge to it in terms of developing it (My business specialises in reproducing retro county jerseys and im a huge GAA fan) but ultimately, you can never let emotion cloud your judgement.
Where there's muck there's money.
What is rich...? My name is richard, but I was never rich...and I thought it was a bad thing...but I didn't knew that being rich isn't about money ...but it’s to know, that being rich is an art that can't be bought with money…but can only be achieved without money...
My passion is boxing but I don’t think I will make it big big this is right for me
If you don’t understand the meaning of the word ‘passion’, then you never had it in the first place.
3:27 "This means that tracking what you do in your free time is a fantastic way of identifying what you actually care about. but ...."
This man is correct. I chose a practical degree that taught me a marketable and well paying skill. I just retired a millionaire.
I love this channel. thanks Mark!
(and whoever is editing these, great job!)
The best advice ever. Thank you!
Having a passion and no vision or the skills achieved in years of work, is not enough. It takes a lot of work to really make your passion a successful business. Not all people become the best in what they are passionate about. You need to be realistic about your capabilities.
And it depends on what you are passionate about and if you have potential. But you have to know yourself and grind. Passion without work is useless.
information, from a millionaire who didn't just buy crypto but done it through act work , is priceless
First sensible chat on you tube. The manifestation ones are the worst as they simply don't work. The biggest block I am having is figuring out what to do that the market wants and where to start probably like many of us who are no so tech savvy in a world that is full of "influencers"... i just want to make money but helping others not being unethical..
Oh boy!!! The "dont slow down" part. I relate to that all to much! I do something a day and this something a day made a lot of people, who personally know me, feel some type of way. And i was always told "dont do to much" or "do it every other day". When i realize that not one person told me out of my personal people, "keep going". I realize that the personal people in my life were just not my people. And because i am not goimg to slow down, a lot of people left me in my personal life (friends and family) and i learned that it is okay to let go 🙂
Ever since the top g interview mark has never been the same
The word (RICH) also need to be defined just like the word (PASSION) 🤔 for example a rich person in the Philippines not same as a rich person in USA so when it’s a person really rich.?
Well, I was very sceptical towards this Mr. Boomer at first, but after several videos he makes a lot of sense.
The thing about manifestation is... if your too shallow in your understanding of it, you will have mediocre results for what you want. Most people are manifesting by default, with a lot of limiting beliefs, programmings, and other unhelpful perspectives that hold back those desires you want to manifest. Like an invisible foot on your brake pedal, hidden in your inner blind spot. Hit the gas as hard as you want with effort, but a foot on the gas, no matter how hard you press, still leads to burnouts in the parking lot with a foot on the brakes, not truly getting anywhere down the road. A guru course won't teach you how to manifest, as words don't teach. Experiencing manifesting does teach, but you have to be selfaware enough to see the subtleties, and practice manifestation deliberately, to truly get anywhere with it. There's a lot more to it, just another skill that you can learn along the way to becoming wealthy
What I'm planning on doing is making my money with various crypto platforms, then putting that into passive income funds.
But while I wait for the passive income funds to mature, I'll go long term sick from work.
Thank you Thank you Thank you !!!!
Thx for your great vidios
Don't listen to these failures. Follow your passion, follow your heart. Value your time more than your ego.
Hi, the trouble with following your passion blindly is that if it can’t make enough money to get you to where you want to be then you have not valued your time. Passion is great if it can deliver but if not keep it as a hobby or side hustle. Thanks for watching NT 😎
You are viewing #2 completely wrong
Where you are right is the fact that 99% of people don't understand or properly apply visualization/manifestation/affirmations in the way that DOES benefit an individual. I always coin it like this, does your thoughts have a direct impact on your actions in life, and therefore the life you create? And most would say yes. If so, would you not want to fill your head with more positive thoughts than negative thoughts? Wouldn't you want to reprogram your subconscious mind to benefit positive thinking as a majority in your life? And let's not fall into the delusional trap either, as it's easy to fall into extremes in any scenario (as was the case you have given to justify your #2 claim).
I have nothing to sell in regards to #2 but when the very Creator of our existence made a book called the Bible that mentions #2 in many parts of the New and Old Testament, maybe there IS a way we can utilize it without falling into traps as the one you've stated.
Here is how #2 changed my life:
1) When I realized it is only a catalyst for the hard and smart work I am already doing.
2) When I realized it can begin altering my actions to produce more positive results.
(and with anything that compounds in life, a slight change now is a big accumulative change in hindsight)
3) When you don't depend on it as an end-all-be-all solution for your problems and realize this may be that first and last 10% you need to get going or to break through in life. Basically, it's an edge against your competitors.
4) When you realize you don't have to SPEND A DIME to, 1) get and 2) utilize #2 fully in your life. So yes, NEVER spend a dime on those Guru's who sell you courses.
5) When you don't have to spend a SECOND of your waking day in order to apply this and get the most results. I still have my waking hours to my own devices and utilize #2 during my sleep.
Really love the point about survivorship bias
What if my passion is to be rich?
