Nice guy, interesting story but folks, pls dont be naive: He surely did the right thing and worked his ass off for it BUT: 99% of us dont have his genetics. Not his jaw, nor his chin, nor his muscle/fat distribution, nor his eyes and so on. You can clearly see it on his youth pictures: He always used to be an "alpha" and "omega" while is friends where "mediocre" next to him. I rly wish him the best but pls dont make the mistake to take too much risks because someone like him said its good to go for it. You have to have some (back)ground or at least a good starting position. Doesnt have to be sports. Can also be talent or IQ for other jobs.
1, if you are unhappy with something, change it yourself, no one's going to do it for you 2, take risks 3, keep telling yourself that you deserve better, if you think so then believe it and then you'll figure out a way to get better
Takeaways for me: 1) Once you choose a path, work your ass off to make it happen and don't give up on it until you've truly put it in. 2) Be honest with yourself when you set goals. 3) Never be afraid to tell yourself you want more from life. 4) Work with what you've been given; don't change yourself to fit your aspirations, change your aspirations to fit yourself. 5) Be humble and show gratitude for those who have helped you get to where you are.
Great story Mike. I took the plunge 12 years ago, set up my own company and haven't looked back since. I didn't want to grow old and regret not trying. It's better to have tried and failed than not tried at all!
I really like this type of content Mike! There are so many successful people, but hardly any share their story in much detail leaving you wondering how to connect the dots and become successful yourself. So thanks for sharing this man!
You’ve inspired me to be my own boss Mike. I’m a 17 year old dude in Sweden making beats in my bedroom which I enjoy. I’m actually making good money for my age as well from selling them and the future is looking really good. Been watching for 3 years and this is one of your best videos yet mate, cheers!
Looks like Dubai might be one of the first places to open up to tourists (not yet, but they're talking about it) - as such, we demand an epic 3-man, 100,000 calories eating challenge in Dubai with Mike, Rob and Matt :-)
@@boxingexpert9919 Dude, such a bad mindset. You can't decide how much money someone deserves and besides MT is a self made man not employed by the government. Two completely different things.
@@redmedia399 nah he doesn't deserve the money he gets mate it's not fair, there should be something done about it imo. He's off enjoying himself round the world while i have to work a hard job, or youtube should do something we're there take money and give it to the likes of me and the NHS something needs to be done and it's not just him there's loads of these youtubers making a fortune and it's not fair
Mike, you are one of my biggest inspirations. Im not kidding when I say I watched this specific video 13-14 times already everytime I need a boost on my journey, Working hard to one day be connecting with you as well.

@@thesilentwarrior6769 As an airline pilot myself flying for the 11th year. I would say its not the right time. But if you got the extra money go for it
I'm 53 with an above average house, in an above average city, earning an above average income (working from home mostly setting my own hours), in above average shape, with an above average wife, and this video still inspires me to improve upon almost all of those things (I guess I'll stick with the wifey!)
Ngl this is my first comment on a RUclips video, but it’s something which had too be done, despite how cringey it may sound. Mike your my biggest inspiration and a role model in some ways your like a big brother too me. I can remember when I first started training I always admired your physique and your technique behind it. But the more I get too know you the more I see myself... I start university in September where I’m planning to study marketing, I literally have the same mind frame as you, where I want too be my own boss and not be someone else’s puppet. I could write another paragraph but I don’t want too bore you out and ramble on forever plus it’s past my bedtime and my mum would kill me if she finds out I’m still awake.. but mike thank you for making RUclips videos and being here... cringe yep... but your really providing a pathway for me to get to a good position in life, and I hope one day I can be in the same position as you.
Dude, this is one of your best videos - I love stories like this. Would love to see a video/more about owning the gym, getting it up and running, problems faced etc.
Mike, I started watching your videos when you had Aurora. You inspired me to start working out, and now 5 years of training later I am an entirely different person! Fitness has transformed my life both physically and mentally. The risks you have taken have inspired me too, I am changing my entire career right now because I was unhappy as a retail manager making a cushy salary. Its not enough if I'm not happy! I am 30 years old and I feel like you have helped me immeasurably. THANK YOU MIKE. YOU MOTIVATED ME TO BE A PERSON THAT WANTS MORE OUT OF LIFE!
Want more story times with uncle Mike- really sincere and relatable. I liked how concise and easy it was to just sit back and listen - no drama, no unnecessary tangents
Moral of the story: "Behind every risk there is a success". Very inspiring, specially the 3 conclusions you gave in the end. Nothing ever changes if one settles. We have to take actions to reach our goals.👍👍👍👍. Wishing you more success.
Thanks for that. I'm 55 now and Ive never been in shape like you. I got close back in my late 20s, 88kg leanish. But now 80kgs and a bit fat and I few injuries holding me back. I like it when people like you that tell people about your past and how it wasn't all sun shine and rainbows.
I’ve been watch Mike’s videos for a few years now and have a lot of respect for how he keeps on growing, on to the next level. Some inspiration for us all.
Great to hear your story. I can definitely relate to your desire for more freedom and flexibility when it comes to work. I believe your past experiences, good or bad, have made you stronger and wiser. Stay strong and keep up the grind 💪💯
“If your not happy with your situation, CHANGE IT...challenge yourself...and that you can do better!!!!” Thank you so much for this interesting yet beautiful story. Wasn’t as boring as you said it would be.
I am a 62 year old woman who is very curious, so I had to watch your video,and then I had to tell you that I enjoyed your story tremendously for several reasons, but I will mention 2 of them. One of the reasons is about the way you express the humbleness you genuinely carry in your heart, another is the way your story shows how you listen to your heart…. If one day my husband and I visit Dubai, I hope to sit down in a cafe with you and share each other’s memories! I am sure we will meet as if we were old friends! I believe your parents are very proud of you! You rock! - Shirlene
One of the rare RUclips videos that actually held my attention from start to finish. You are a very good storyteller indeed. Came for the pictures but loved the article : )
It’s good that you are growing your busy and investing in other things. You are still young, but won’t last forever and social media influencer is a young man’s game.
I did a summer outside clubs in Greece, was one of the best times if my life and you learn alot about yourself(and the ladies) I'd recommend any young lad does the same. I've done well in recent years, 2 half decent businesses, own house and family. Good luck to all, go get it 👍
I'm a few years younger then Mike and have been planning my big move the last couple months. It will be a huge risk with an unknown outcome yet it needs to be done. I'm unhappy where I'm at in life and will take action to change that. Thanks mate for the inspirational story. I've been a sub since 2017.
Great video Mike, quite fucking inspiring. Specially the last 2 minutes with your advice. Don't be afraid to take risks! That's a huge one bro. Keep up the good content.

Very inspiring. No hill is climbed without struggle and it always looks easy once we are at the top. If you're up there, good for you. If not, then keep climbing. You'll get there!
Mike has inspired me to pursue my dreams of starting my own RUclips channel and becoming a brain surgeon and then filming it all with my shirt off. I think people will love it.
Your whole story is driving me. I always was afraid of take a risk, but have to take a risk. Sit down, open RUclips, Netflix, and sleep. I have decided to back to this video when I depressed. Thank you share with your whole story!!
This is why I respect and support Mike's work because he's authentic and has worked hard to get where he is today. He didn't sell out to a reality TV show, get everything handed to him off the back of it, and then claim to be an 'entrepreneur' like so many. He busted his ass not by selling air fresheners on Instagram but keeping his integrity and busting his ass and doing it himself. Big respect Mike.
The good news is you're 23. I know it feels like a huge deal that you "screwed up your studies". I'm 50 and have lots of life experience...let me assure you that it's absolutely no big deal. You have time on your side, something no amount of money can ever buy. Good luck.
Hey Mike, really great video! Was really intriguing just having that insight to your life and what sort of decisions you made to be where you are now. Watched the whole 27 mins of the video and fond it very inspirational and interesting. Keep the content going and good luck with it all.
By far one of the videos you have done for inspiration and motivation..Being at the age of 47 you can be stuck in a rut..but you have shown you can never be too old. Even the hubby liked it and he is hard to please...Thank you Mike! 🙏😊
Be careful taking risks though. I have messed up in business twice. I still have another year and a half to pay it off. Taking risks is ok but make sure you are more likely to win than to loose by a good margin
Thank you for sharing your story. I felt identified in some of the situations you shared. You truly took the best out of each opportunity, faced uncertainty directly and reused every single experience you had in your past. Taking notes and inspiration from this video! 🙌
Dude I literally sit down and watch every single and every minute of the videos that you put out. Thank you so much for the effort you put and how open you are in the RUclips Community! Keep em coming uncle Mike.On the road to 1Million 🤙🏽
i can't imagine working the night life. i spent a lot of time in it and even as a weekly spectator it got pretty old and quite seedy. you would think partying all the time is fun but then you see some of the same people, shady characters, same playlist routines from the djs, the girls are different but act the same, the dirty floors, the almost-fights, the guys trying to posture, and of course the trashy day after where your gym session is half ass. if i started working in it i might have gotten stuck in it.
Hey Mike - congrats Son. On quarantine/lockdown here in London - retired - 63 - American - successful. Stumbled across your channel. I too have had and still have a great life. 100% agree life is what you make it. Wish you continued success, satisfaction and happiness! Subscribed. :-). P.S. Lived in Saudi Arabia 32 years - know Dubai & was just there again this past January.
27min of life journey i am 3 years younger to you, watching you like a brother to look up to I always thought I am pushing my self to the limits but after watching your journey I am at 50% only
Ah ah .. you making me laughing my ass off ... But that statement is so true for many . Many people are living with people they are not satisfy with ... They should have never been with in the first place to settle down with. It's one of the most fuck up feeling to be with someone you know is not right for you . No passion is there . Heart don't feel warm and tingly on the inside ..bitch is boring like cardboard
Mediocre girlfriend sounds like a good band name lol. but seriously someone who is in a relationship with someone they would consider mediocre has issues lol
”The biggest risk is not taking any”
Then I am the biggest risk taker of all :>
If your dreams dont scare you then their not worth it.

@@Dornpunzel You have to find something you’re good at and go for things. Doesn’t matter what it is. Just do it.
1, if you are unhappy with something, change it yourself, no one's going to do it for you
2, take risks
3, keep telling yourself that you deserve better, if you think so then believe it and then you'll figure out a way to get better
This honestly was like having a sit down talk with your big brother, feeling a lot more optimistic thanks to mike
Me too!
Takeaways for me:
1) Once you choose a path, work your ass off to make it happen and don't give up on it until you've truly put it in.
2) Be honest with yourself when you set goals.

4) Work with what you've been given; don't change yourself to fit your aspirations, change your aspirations to fit yourself.
5) Be humble and show gratitude for those who have helped you get to where you are.
6) Sell dreams

Nice guy, interesting story but folks, pls dont be naive: He surely did the right thing and worked his ass off for it BUT: 99% of us dont have his genetics. Not his jaw, nor his chin, nor his muscle/fat distribution, nor his eyes and so on. You can clearly see it on his youth pictures: He always used to be an "alpha" and "omega" while is friends where "mediocre" next to him. I rly wish him the best but pls dont make the mistake to take too much risks because someone like him said its good to go for it. You have to have some (back)ground or at least a good starting position. Doesnt have to be sports. Can also be talent or IQ for other jobs.
Great video! Thank you!
Very inspiring. No hill is climbed without struggle and it always looks easy once we are at the top. If you're up there, good for you. If not, then keep climbing. You'll get there!
So true.
Mike has inspired me to pursue my dreams of starting my own RUclips channel and becoming a brain surgeon and then filming it all with my shirt off. I think people will love it.
Mike isn't given enough credit for how funny he is. His story about his grandma wanting to read the book had me in tears

I'm 23 yo and haven't got a clue how I'm going to pursue my dreams at the moment.....I've messed up studies big time 🤦🏽♂️
Why did you mess up your studies? And what was the dream?
The good news is you're 23. I know it feels like a huge deal that you "screwed up your studies". I'm 50 and have lots of life experience...let me assure you that it's absolutely no big deal. You have time on your side, something no amount of money can ever buy. Good luck.
One thing that I've personally noticed from you is that you are way way better at talking now than back then!
Loving these school stories, I can totally relate to the bad grades LOL
Brilliant story , best of luck to you ...Great that the Toon played a big part in your story !

based boomer virus I worked three summers in Croatia doing nightlife. Certainly a great way to meet hot girls but you get burnt out
So inspirational thank you mike thurston this video is by far one your greatest thank you you’ve helped me so much 🙏🏾
Hair is looking class, god bless them doctors
Tbh mike looked amazing with a buzz cut. If any man in the world could pull off bald/buzz, it’s mike.
Hey Mike - congrats Son. On quarantine/lockdown here in London - retired - 63 - American - successful. Stumbled across your channel. I too have had and still have a great life. 100% agree life is what you make it. Wish you continued success, satisfaction and happiness! Subscribed. :-). P.S. Lived in Saudi Arabia 32 years - know Dubai & was just there again this past January.
Why did you live in saudi arabia for 32 years??
"A group of middle aged women". they were probably about 35 years old! When you're 21, everyone above that age is pushing on!
20 year olds know nothing
35 is middle age
@@haafayn6075 Yes, if you only live as far as 70. Middle Age is subjective. My Uncle is in his late 60's and still thinks he's middle aged!
Well done that man, very inspirational and he deserves everything he has in his life, as he's put the work in.
That was legit Mike. Inspiring stuff! Just started my channel to build from the ground up and this has inspired me a little more :)
27min of life journey

Thanks for your story Mike regardless of the current conditions you live a charmed life.
You make me quitting my job and creating the life I want. Sick of living up to the expectations of others...
What were you doing, and what are you doing now?
From going from working in Hollister to living in Dubai within 8 years is pretty impressive. Great motivation Mike. Bless up.
Opened my mind again to future goals during these depressing strange times 👌
Cheers for the motivation .... great work
Damn this was so inspiring being 19 and not sure where to go with my life

Mediocre girlfriend , that made me chuckle. Imagine sat on the sofa looking over to the mediocre girlfriend and thinking , I’m better than you. 😂😂😂
Mediocre girlfriend's useful for comfort and getting to do things for you. Different women for different roles
this is the Patrice O'neal philosophy
Ah ah .. you making me laughing my ass off ... But that statement is so true for many .
Many people are living with people they are not satisfy with ...
They should have never been with in the first place to settle down with.
It's one of the most fuck up feeling to be with someone you know is not right for you .
No passion is there .
Heart don't feel warm and tingly on the inside ..bitch is boring like cardboard
Mediocre girlfriend sounds like a good band name lol. but seriously someone who is in a relationship with someone they would consider mediocre has issues lol
This made me laugh
Have watched this video over 10 times now, best motivation
My man Mike developed his chesticals at 21 years of age
