I am struggling with jumping into a career I am really passionate about, I don't think that I am stupid nor do people call me stupid, far from it most people think I am really smart but I fear if I take that risk it will shatter my image and I will look stupid because I understand I will fail a few times until I learn to work with clients independently. And I been stuck in this rut for while, unsure how to take that leap of faith and not care about other people.
@@v1d300Hey, maybe you could try sitting down somewhere and picture yourself not doing so great, like failing at something. Do it a bunch of times until you kind of get used to that feeling. After each round, imagine yourself actually succeeding, though, so you're not just stuck on the failing part. It's like you're facing your fear and getting more chill about it. If you can just sit there with the feeling without freaking out or calling it a failure, it might actually help you out. Good luck, bro!
the first one. and the looking stupid. now I am thinking I will get rich the stupid way. F... being smart. if smart is good for school it's fine but if it doesn't work to make it well stop that and do something that work. that approach is actually smart. just like that.
I used to think this way as well but I realized it's not about being smart alone, these guys are making millions because they're entertaining. Humans naturally want to be entertained alongside learning, the problem is that a lot of smart people are boring as hell, so even though we know more than these guys who make millions, most of us are nowhere as entertaining as they are lol. Money follows emotions, being knowledgeable doesn't heavily trigger any human emotion, but being entertaining does.
Being entertaining definitely helps, but it's not everything. THat guy I mentioned at the beginning was completely hidden in plain sight. Nobody would've pegged him as being entertaining.
Bruh these people arent even good at entertaining they create drama and people come to see drama but even that is fading out their gonna need another idea to stay relevant cause its fading out. Also note that sometimes these people do shady deals of the public domain to give them a boost in popularity but not everyone does that in the industry
They're lucky. Nothing more. If 1% of the population is wealthy, then 7.9 billion are not. It's a numbers game. Some will make it through hard work and dedication, and most won't with either
I would argue that aren't inherently entertaining at all, they put themselves in a position to market themselves as entertaining and people agree to be entertained by it as long as it was promoted to them through the proper channels
12:32 It's not just him who was too stupid to quit; there are many more who were too stupid to quit **and** in fact did not make it. You just happened to have met someone who did.
They didn't make it but the hope is they didn't lose yet either. Why? cause they haven't quit yet. You need to become a little delusional for these things
Just speaking for myself? You nailed it on the head. I’m a high school drop out with only a GED who also grew up poor. Now at 50 yrs of age I own 3 brick and mortar businesses that do ok. I’ve always told folks that ask how I did it that I’m not the smartest guy. I’m not even the hardest working guy. But what I’ve always had is tenacity. I don’t give up. It may take me longer to cross the finish line. But I will cross it. I was ignorant on so many things when I first took over my first business. But I learned and grew. I’m a slow learner also. But again, I keep going. I really enjoyed your video. I just wanted to share my little story to add to your point by sharing a real example. I’ll add this. What keeps us going? The fear of losing it all. There’s definite a little amount of imposter syndrome. I think it keeps me on my toes and motivated to keep learning and improving where I can.
I love hearing these stories. Thank you so much for sharing. Most people just don't realize what's possible because they simply lack exposure to badasses like yourself out there making it work. Massively inspired.
Sir, I'm from India and I'm currently in College, I want to do business after college but I'm not sure about what should the business be about? Could you guide me? Also yes, I agree, it all ends where you give up. Once you've started on a path, everytime one wants to give up, he should look at how far he has come and that all his work would amount to nothing if he gives up. Sending lots of love
Your experience may have correlated with a concept of idea that got explained in short story and its known as "The Amara Effect - The advantage of disadvantages"
"The risk of being mediocre is bigger than the risk of being greater" "If you don't start you can't win and if you don't quit you can't lose" These are the facts that we need to remind ourselves.
You hit the nail on the head. "you have so much potential that you are wasting", has been the common thread all my life. The reason being is, all the things are that you have said. I evaluate the pros and cons out of every decision. I've been wonderful at giving great business ideas to friends, that are doing really well with my ideas and business plans. In today's society with social media there are many opportunities, yet I still havent created a RUclips channel or gone into anything online. I have a love hate relationship with technology and I do not want to make any mistakes that will make me look stupid on a system that can never be deleted.
The only guy who consistently delivers sound perspective; practical and tangible. Personally, limiting beliefs got the best of me in High School, people had always told me I'm smart but I underestimated my own abilities to work hard and get the best possible results. Now however, at 19yrs, I emphasize persistence; I always think even if I set out to build a rocket (last I did science was in grade 9), in 10 years time (29), I'm sure I'd be closer to the end than the beginning. Thank you Anthony.
Persistence, consistency, and dependability are all key. When sh goes down, people are going to call in the person with those qualities, and then you can name your price.
The thing is that mathematically, this actually DOES work at the casino. If you had a literally endless supply of money, you would always end up ahead of the house at some point. But no one does have that supply... Except them. That's why the house always wins, because they can outlast you. So it's actually true even in a casino setting, but they happen to have more money.
"The risk of mediocrity is greater than the risk of failure"... Love it Long time subscriber and finally RUclips's algo decided to show me Anthony still making video, I love how polished the video is 👍
This video was a real revelation particularly the bit about how being dumb helps you maintajn the confidence to keep going till you do win whereas being very domain smart you get too stuck on what you dont know and underestimate success. I had been searching for someone to articulate this for a long time now and this perfectly gave words to that feeling. Particularly the too stupid to quit thing. I was and am routinely considered very smart but dont take action until my brain burns out on anxiety and then i start. This helps to realise well actually i have no idea about what j dont know and i dont know how long it takes to solve that but that its less than the worst case scenario
I fell down the hole of "the whole game is broken, why even try?" for a while Definitely helps push past the whole status-seeking phase a lot of people go through, but doesn't really get you anywhere in the end. We all need money, gotta go out there and get after it.
this is a level 2 noob mindset, but its easier than the higher level mindsets, so I cant blame one for plateauing here. The truth is though, you don't need money, you need resources sure, but not money. Imagine exchanging something with someone and using a vehicle created by some 3rd party you've never met which mainly benefits the 3rd party (this is what ''money'' is in reality). Did you know that ''money/currency'' was first created by kings of the past as a way to get their peasants to work the fields? Clay tablets with numbers would get distributed to the peasants as a ''promise'' that they can get X amount of grain at the end of the month as long as they worked the fields every day. "We really need clay tablets, lets go out there and get after it" xDDD you see how ridiculous it is?
@@intfamous4001well unless you’re able and willing to live outside the system and be completely self sufficient then what you’re saying doesn’t make a lot of sense. money is the main and almost only means by which we can gain resources in the first place. exchanging things for resources and services is basically the glue that keeps up big societies. if we didn’t have the concept money we’d have some sort of other system to keep our communities / society going
Yes you need money, but you don't have to be millionaire. If you can buy everything you need then you are fine. If you have millions of dollars but feel you don't have enough then you are a poor man and you'll probably never be satisfied with what you have.
Great video. I love what you said about career and taking risk. I had severe self loathing for years because I dropped out of uni twice and never finished a degree and got a trade instead. Now at 34, I’m semi retired from some small-scale property development. It almost sent me broke and not a week went by where I wasn’t asking myself if this was a good idea, but eventually it paid off. Now I’m doing what I always dreamt of doing, owning a wearable tech. development company to help people with industrial safety. I spend regular time with people that kick as at life and that I look up to. Do the work and think big!
Wow, just came across this video at the right time, about to start a new venture that will take me out of my comfort zone. Though I'm smart, but I've always been afraid of looking stupid and failing. I'm going all in now 💃
man.. This hit close to home. I am now where you were, 28 years old with 80k in debt, and feeling like I am a drain on my friends, family and society has been suffocating. After college I got into sales and took off like a rocket, and after a couple years my ego got too big to work for my boss so I struck out on my own. I always thought that my quote unquote smarts were holding me back from going all in on opportunities to make money. I always felt like coward or something, which led to a 2 year spiral of me trying to drink and party myself stupid so that way I would be impulsive enough to be an entrepreneur. Working up out of the health side effects, mental and physical, has been a stark lesson for me and advice like this is too on the nose for me right now. I have a real scrappy sales opportunity coming up that I already have started talking myself out of (afraid of looking like an idiot blah blah blah) and I do not think I could have heard your story and message at a more perfect time. God bless bro
@@destro7161 here is something scarier: I paid off 120k in student loan debt by age 25 before I ran up this new debt! Proud of that, and once I wiggle out of this one I look forward to taking out a million dollar mortgage to buy a house! America baby
Another tip: Don't aim to be a billionaire from the beginning. The businesses to get you there are much harder and riskier than those that will get you to $10 million. When you get to $10 million, then you can decide if you want to spend your time pursuing further gains. And you will also be financially free so you have more time and energy to do so. You can also try and fail many times until you succeed.
I'm a big fan of basic cashflowing businesses. My first was a window washing company. Simple and proven demand. Learn the ropes there and then worry about going big.
@@thequestion3953That's his first big business... He started doing micro scale business as a kid, just for spending money... Warren Buffett began in grade school. They all seem to start small and early.
S+ video. This gave me yet another reason to continue to block out all the noise of pushback that comes from many people with my decisions over the past 9 months. You’re awesome my g
I used to think being cautious was the way to go, but this video made me realize that sometimes being 'dumb' enough to take risks can actually be the smarter move.
Immediately subscribed. Not surprised as I follow your daily content on LinkedIn along with Sahil Bloom and Ben Meer. You hit the nail on the head. I needed to watch and hear this video. Looking forward to new videos!
Well said, most “dumb” people aren’t afraid of taking the risk because they aren’t over analyzing every aspect of it, and also learning from the mistakes they do make and not beating themselves up over it
I find #4 STILL trips me up after all these years. These patterns of thought and behavior are wired deep. It takes a lot of intention and effort to reprogram our minds.
There is another aspect people rarely talk about. A lot of entrepreneurs won't mind saying / doing anything as long as it sells. But there are people who care about the value they're creating and the actual fulfillment in their work, not just the paycheck at the end. The latter will have much harder time making millions than the former.
Years ago I had this idea that I wanted to start a RUclips channel where I would teach English. But then there was this thought in my head "Gosh, English is not even my first language. Would native speakers look down on me or my videos.." This thought just made me lose confidence. Your video has definitely ignited something in me. I'm going to just do it this year! Thank you for the video. Subscribed!
I encourage you to check out Marina Mogilko. She has three YT channels and ~10M subscribers overall. English was her second language (in fact, one of her three channels is in her native Russian). If she can do it, so can you. www.youtube.com/@SiliconValleyGirl www.youtube.com/@MarinaMogilko www.youtube.com/@linguamarina
@@AnthonyVicino Thank you so much! ❤Sure, I will check her channel! 😊 I actually have watched a couple of her videos in passing, but didn't realize she was Russian. Anyhow, will check her out. Thank you! 😊
@@AnthonyVicino yeah of course, they are the only ones that can afford to. But im talking about the wealth acquisition step, not what you do after you have it.
Fantastic. Excellent video, Anthony. Straight to the point and clarity in what works, and the simplicity of attaining success by not quitting! Kudos, bro and keep it up! I'm a new subscriber, by the way 🙂
This reminded me of a conversation I had with this friend who is generally known to be not very smart. Funny, entertaining, impulsive but just not smart. She was pitching me business ideas that we both could start and I kept telling her all of the risks and difficulties but she just kept saying no we can just do this or that it’s pretty simple and I had to explain to her why it’s not so simple. This video put that entire conversation into perspective for me.
I think it's all about personal choice and knowing what you really want. For me a good paying job would be enough. Working for yourself brings more responsibility and stress than working for a typical 9-5 job for me. Plus, the money is not really worth if I have to deal with pressures coming from social media etc.
I had a business for 7 years. Decided to close it to spend more time with my kids I can tell you, im WAY more stressed to work for corporations. Its pretty easy to have success in business, its about working alot and taking risk and being creative at finding solutions. But it has a cost, you will see your family alot less. Notice his exemple in the video with the guy with tatoos.. he has obviously no family.
@@JonathanVachon777 I think the best is minimizing cost, cos even if you have your own business, it's another kind of stressful to maintain and grow it imo
An interesting saying I learned years ago about competence, learning, during Krueger: The more you know, the more you know there is to know. Some times that scares the knowledgeable from moving ahead. They get frozen because they see things are complex. Sometimes a person wins because no one told them they can’t. Like the ‘dumb’ person who doesn’t see the obstacles, they win because they don’t see any obstacles.
That's the reason why I want to be behind the shadows to avoid critics because if you are rich they are going to pester you for the rest of your life in multiple ways and angles.
My biggest setback that I’ve come to realize is I don’t want to be egotistical or self-centered and believe I am too capable of something when I’m not. I just don’t want to be judged I guess I’m afraid of that. I also realized that every time I gain confidence in something and pursue it, something bad happens that stumps it. Almost like I’m cursed, like I’m not allowed to enjoy doing what I love or find interest in. It happens every time. So I just let it go and don’t bother. But after this advice, Ima keep trying. Thank you.
We care so much about what others will think of us, when the truth is.. they're not thinking of us at the moment anyways. Don't let the judgments of people who don't matter (and aren't really thinking about you, anyways) stop yuo from pursuing your highest and best self.
This is my first time seeing one of your videos. While I didn’t agree 100% with everything, I think your choice of words were excellent and rationales were well supported.
Paused the video after 3 minutes. What a great insight which resonates with me perfectly as I am playing the money game since a year or two after not caring at all. Excellent video, subbed.
Analysis paralysis often hinders smart people to make a decision or take risks while the dumb one's that do sometimes they'll beat all odds and succeed.
This is the best video that I have seen right before the new year starts. I am very intelligent and highly educated. Overthinking and overanalyzing every move has not worked in my favor. Thank you so much for this advice.
@AnthonyVicino Happy New Year to you too! I had an aha moment with your video. I have let some potentially great opportunities pass by because I thought I wasn't qualified enough when in fact I was but wanted to feel perfectly competent/ready. You have no idea how this video ignited something special in me.
Depends on your definition of value. If rich people buy things, then other people have jobs. Rich people have to pay more taxes to support people who don’t want to add any value to society. And rich people generally don’t magically get rich without adding value. Even if it’s inheritance, that rich person’s family created enough value for whoever is inheriting the money to be able to spend it as they see fit. And by virtue of spending it they’re creating value by giving others an opportunity to create and sell what they have.
What a great timing for me to watch this video, Anthony. It definitely not only answered the question I was asking myself this whole year, but also gave me immense inspiration and motivation. Instant subscribe and I will make sure to pass the message on so that others could watch this amd the rest of your content. Thanks again, Anthony for the great lesson and visually appealing and highly enjoyable content.
I'll be honest... I was not expecting much from this video while I was surfing around, loading up some content while I worked. Just another bit of click bait, promising recycled cookie cutter hyperbole on how to make millions. But I was wrong... Great measured insight & advice that people should know, if they're on the path towards becoming a better version of themselves each day. I'm also aligned with the '4 Stages of competence', which is not just a sound learning model but essential for mindful & spiritual development. If you want all green lights in your life, consistent synchronicity, then apply these rules. Solid rules for success & life buddy. Well played. Subscribed!
If you don't quit, it means you haven't been defeated - The chance to win is (still) there until you finally give up and stop trying. It's been a difficult year here on RUclips, but giving up is not on the agenda :) - Thanks for your words!
You can't lose if you don't quit.... well you can get old and frustrated an bitter too. Not strictly entrepreneurial, but I quit a phd graduate position after struggling and failing to publish for 10 years to become an independent analyst. Not too successful yet, but I still consider it the best decision I've ever made.
This topic has been bugging me for years. Finally over the last months I have come to accept it, along with the fear of looking stupid and doing my own thing on the channel.🎉
I don’t really like some of the things stated in the video about your thoughts and your fixed mindset “like this rich guy is so dumb to quit” and other things mentioned in the beginning, but I do like that you spoke the truth and told what needed to be told to help us with being successful. From a perspective where no one really knew this stuff I would say it would be quite helpful. Also I do quite like your quotes at the end about not giving up and just not caring about what other people think, and just being the true version of yourself. Basically the theme of the quotes “you can’t win if you don’t start” and “you can’t lose if you don’t quit”. Very good wise knowledgeable, good advice especially that last one there. The belief of just believing in yourself no matter what and not quitting, but learning from mistakes. The first one is also quite good in terms of changing you le mindset from a “fixed mindset” to a “growth mindset” about taking risks, being bold and not being afraid to challenge yourself in different areas in life. Overall, the message and theme definitely helped the mindset to “get rich” (but not really) but does help one become successful, thus being “rich”, perhaps not always in money, but other beneficial ways. The video would definitely help you become more successful! Good stuff ❤
I normally don't watch videos like this because they're usually a bunch of cliché and nonsense. However, this one is quality. Young people, especially, should follow this advice.
Fantastic video Anthony. I had successful 2023 starting my business, kickstarted by your valuable content I consumed religiously a year ago while at my former dead-end delivery job. I’m glad the RUclips algorithm brought me back to you so I can prepare for a great 2024. Cheers and thank you very much!
Hey Anthony, i really liked this video and feel like it helped me a lot in terms of understanding my nature. Could you please make another video diving deeper into that?
@@AnthonyVicino maybe adding some real-life examples, the roots of these limiting beliefs, maybe there are some more subtle limits, and how can one get rid of these beliefs in their mind for the rest of their life. Appreciate the feedback. I understand that for most people, this video (especially the quote in the end of the video) should be more than enough for them to stand up from their computer desk or put the phone down and start taking actions, but this video really helped and I'm just greedy for more knowledge.
There is no secret to success. People underestimate the huge effect luck plays in success. Not everyone is lucky to be born in the right family, have the right people around. Its just plain dumb luck.
Big brother vicino i love you body, I'm Moroccan 22 years old and i droped out of school back in 2018 since then i consume every content about making money on the enternet and i have tried many times Etsy, CPA, E- commerce and i failed, some people asking what you are doing and i don't know how to answer such question and some of them think that iam dumb but to be honest i don't care about anyone cause i know that one day i'll be millionaire and will help others to be succecfull. Sorry if i did some grammar mistakes i'm trying to learn english cause i will live in the UK or US in the future. Thank you if you read all of this
Thanks Anthony, hats off to you for another stellar video! 🎩 It's like you've mastered the art of video-making wizardry. 🌟 It is very motivating to know that even regular folks can hit the jackpot and swim in the wealth pool. Empowerment level: off the charts! 🚀 It made me laugh how you left your lunch with the billionaire thinking, "This guy has no idea what he's doing?" Classic lol 😄 I have the fear of looking like a fool and the ego bruising that comes with failing. The 9 to 5 life? Pure misery for me. And the "it's too risky" mindset-that's another one of my limiting beliefs. 🙈 You, my friend, dropped some major truth bombs. "You can't win if you don't start, and you can't lose if you don't quit." Those words will be my daily mantra now. You're the motivational coach I never knew I needed! 🙌
@@AnthonyVicino Thanks, Anthony, you're awesome! A few more limiting beliefs I have are probably shared by most of your audience: making money is very difficult; making money isn't fun. :) Those are probably among the biggest limiting beliefs holding people back. If someone believes they are smart enough, it's easy and it's fun. :) Then it would just sound like a game of Monopoly, and they would probably dive right in with a passion. I have no idea how I could convince someone it's easy and fun; that would be a massive challenge, I think. Anyway, thanks for your fascinating content!
The fear of looking stupid. That is such a real thing that has caused me so much paralysis and kept me from even starting a path. i think so much so that i currently dont even know what skill to build cos ill analyze my way out of it almost instantly. Its like a brick wall that just wont budge, and i have rentals and am on a path to take over the family business, but i still feel like theres somthing im not doing or a path i need to take but just keep hitting that brick wall.
thank the youtube algorithm gods. ive been a self help nut for a decade, but no action. this video answered so many of questions in my self help journey. thanks and subscribed!
Limiting beliefs is a huge part, we stop before we start because we see this and that issue, we over complicate things. Some of us think too much instead of just doing it and dealing with things that may come up sling the way.
1. Incorrect belief "I don't care about money" 2. "I don't want to look stupid" 3. Smart people overestimate risk 4. "I don't know what I don't know" You can't win if you dont start but you can't lose if you don't quit.
I shutdown a successful restaurant business of over ten years and moved to the mountains to learn furniture making. I am in the process of building my own home. My goal is to make roughly 50% of everything i own or eat with my own two hands. I now understand how materialism and money were making me so unhappy.
Thanks for the content! I'm too damn stubborn to quit and completed my first passion project, Interstellar Sentinel. It's not going to be my retirement, but getting the business together around the game and all the other things needed has been valuable experience.
It's not everybody that can show me a new perspective on a topic. And you just did. Your message is something i already knew, but your perspective of this same message completely gave me a whole new angle of view. If i was seeing this issue with a 2D lens, now your angle has completed this whole thing and transformed it into a full 3D.
I liked this video, you're a well spoken dude that conveys these ideas well. Unfortunately (and maybe this is my excuse), in my experience the guy you describe at the first of the video always comes from money. Dad was a landlord, Grandpa owned a bunch of property, so on and so forth. It's hard to take chances when you have quite literally everything to lose. Maybe you have videos on this, but the fact that it wasn't mentioned is disappointing.
To own multiple apartment buildings, yes, the capital to finance that is not going to come from flipping old Harleys and renting studio time to upstart bands. The question should not have been "what do you do" but "where did you get the money to do what you do?"
My buddy didn't come from money. His parents didn't contribute anything to his business ventures. For what it's worth, I also didn't come from money. I started my first business (a window washing company) with ~$1,000 in savings (and $80k of debt). A year later I used the profits from that business to buy my first piece of real estate (a triplex). I used a loan designed for first time home buyers with low credit and low cash savings. I bought the building for $245,000, but it only required $7,500 out of pocket. Over the years I've just kept rolling profits into new buildings... now, we've grown that initiakl $7,500 investment into an $85M portfolio. My family didn't contribute a dime.
@@AnthonyVicino Thanks for the reply. I’m thinking that the current $85,000,000 is not a window washing empire. Am I correct? Reinventing into other areas, right?
@@douglasbarnes4035 Correct. I sold the window washing business and then started a couple other businesses. Most notably a manufacturing company producing indoor rock climbing equipment.
I always knew there was no way everyone with money was smarter, I just didn't know what I was doing wrong, Its kind of a helpless feeling, I've worked my ass off for years , I wish I knew what to do and what steps to take to get wealthy, I would follow them to a T. No guidance on finance was ever passed to me, I made a lot of mistakes.
What really bothers me about myself is that the only thing truly keeping me from success is my own mindset and fear of losing everything, even though that everything really isn't much lol And even though that's the one thing entirely in my control, it's the hardest thing to get rid of. I know I'll never be successful until I can crucify those things, but clearly there isn't enough motivation yet... Any tips on how to not be a bitch? lol Edit: Should've watched the Whole video before commenting.
Comfort is important and is what you’re scared of losing, which is natural. But you must cross that bridge to get to where you want if you really want it. It’s scary bridge, but you must cross. Gos bless
The end of this video is text book toxic positivity. For every 1 story of someone who should've quit but didn't, then became a billionaire, there are 10,000 stories of people failing their whole lives, never being able to building meaningful relationships in the process, and dying broke and alone.
I'm just saying... I once had this belief then went to a bunch of networking events and got close with a few people. Close enough to realize their lives were pitiful lies. They were complete and utter failues in their 50s+ and were somehow still convinced their big break was juuust around the corner. Sad. Very sad. Don't let that be you one day.
@@AnthonyVicino There's a difference between hope and irrationality. Take a pause from being an entrepreneur for a bit and get a real job. Save some money and reduce the risk of being a life-long failure.
I think the primary cause of becoming wealthy is to know how to sell. If you're a great salesman, or you know how to create a product that really sells, then you have a great opportunity to win the money game. Sales isn't really something that's only for smart people. It's a skillset. And much like playing basketball, where certain attributes can propel you to the big leagues, it takes people with special talents to do well in sales. And intelligence doesn't have anything to do with sales. So much like from ratatoille, not anybody can become a great salesman, but a great salesman can come from anywhere. But therein lies the problem. If winning the money game means you have to have a skill that is not gained from effort, but rather through some kind of genetic background, then that means most people are going to be doomed to poverty, no matter what they do. This, I believe, is a strong argument for socialism over capitalism.
I personally don’t like salespeople. If a product is good it would sell itself. When I go to a car dealership I hate having a salesman follow me around. If I find something I will get to the person. I also have people always knocking on my door trying to sell solar panels and tons of other things. Like I said before if I want the item I would call people to get estimates. Anyway that’s just me, some love being catered to.
@EMan-cu5zo Keep in mind that I intend to use the concept 'sales' in its totality. Meaning that it's not just about selling in a traditional sales office, but also as a parent, as a teacher, as a friend, as an interviewee, etc. I've read several sales books and they all say that these mindsets and techniques can be used in all of life. And as far as I can tell, this seems to be true. This why products from all walks of life can be extremely inferior compared to their rivals, and yet still become #1 in the marketplace.
The smart person looks for the safest way to move to prevent uneccessary wastes of Time. That makes the process much slower in the long-term because they are more hesitant about risks and passing boundaries.
This video can be summarised as analysis paralysis the bain of my existence. I'm only starting to get over it recently after watching how much others are making with practically the same product's I've been risk averse to sell 😂😂

Risk could change from the point of view. Having a stable job without anything else, could be a huge problem if suddenly a economic crisis happens and wipe out your savings. Massive layoffs, career turning outdated, more competition, an accident. All these things could happen and your "safe path" will be compromised. This doesn't mean that you shouldn't what most people do, but remember that everything has risk and even the safest options can catastrophically safe. Having multiple incomes, getting life insurance, health insurance, learn to sell, don't waste money, don't stagnate money, etc, those are some tools to at least minimize risk. But no matter what you do, there is always risk, just minimize it but don't be paranoid about it.
I'm curious... which one of these Money Beliefs has held you back most over the years?

I am struggling with jumping into a career I am really passionate about, I don't think that I am stupid nor do people call me stupid, far from it most people think I am really smart but I fear if I take that risk it will shatter my image and I will look stupid because I understand I will fail a few times until I learn to work with clients independently. And I been stuck in this rut for while, unsure how to take that leap of faith and not care about other people.
@@v1d300 I totally feel that. The fear of looking stupid can be a powerful demotivator.
@@v1d300Hey, maybe you could try sitting down somewhere and picture yourself not doing so great, like failing at something. Do it a bunch of times until you kind of get used to that feeling. After each round, imagine yourself actually succeeding, though, so you're not just stuck on the failing part. It's like you're facing your fear and getting more chill about it. If you can just sit there with the feeling without freaking out or calling it a failure, it might actually help you out. Good luck, bro!
the first one. and the looking stupid. now I am thinking I will get rich the stupid way. F... being smart. if smart is good for school it's fine but if it doesn't work to make it well stop that and do something that work. that approach is actually smart. just like that.
This presentation is veryyyyy, very good
I used to think this way as well but I realized it's not about being smart alone, these guys are making millions because they're entertaining. Humans naturally want to be entertained alongside learning, the problem is that a lot of smart people are boring as hell, so even though we know more than these guys who make millions, most of us are nowhere as entertaining as they are lol. Money follows emotions, being knowledgeable doesn't heavily trigger any human emotion, but being entertaining does.
Being entertaining definitely helps, but it's not everything. THat guy I mentioned at the beginning was completely hidden in plain sight. Nobody would've pegged him as being entertaining.
Bruh these people arent even good at entertaining they create drama and people come to see drama but even that is fading out their gonna need another idea to stay relevant cause its fading out. Also note that sometimes these people do shady deals of the public domain to give them a boost in popularity but not everyone does that in the industry
They're lucky. Nothing more.
If 1% of the population is wealthy, then 7.9 billion are not. It's a numbers game.
Some will make it through hard work and dedication, and most won't with either
I would argue that aren't inherently entertaining at all, they put themselves in a position to market themselves as entertaining and people agree to be entertained by it as long as it was promoted to them through the proper channels
.
"if you want to get rich, you can't follow common wisdom and expect to get uncommon results"
That's some real shit.
Glad that hit for ya!

12:32 It's not just him who was too stupid to quit; there are many more who were too stupid to quit **and** in fact did not make it. You just happened to have met someone who did.
Truth.
They didn't make it but the hope is they didn't lose yet either. Why? cause they haven't quit yet. You need to become a little delusional for these things
Yes. Unfortunately, this video doesn't address survivorship bias.
Just speaking for myself? You nailed it on the head.
I’m a high school drop out with only a GED who also grew up poor. Now at 50 yrs of age I own 3 brick and mortar businesses that do ok. I’ve always told folks that ask how I did it that I’m not the smartest guy. I’m not even the hardest working guy. But what I’ve always had is tenacity. I don’t give up. It may take me longer to cross the finish line. But I will cross it. I was ignorant on so many things when I first took over my first business. But I learned and grew. I’m a slow learner also. But again, I keep going.
I really enjoyed your video. I just wanted to share my little story to add to your point by sharing a real example.
I’ll add this. What keeps us going? The fear of losing it all. There’s definite a little amount of imposter syndrome. I think it keeps me on my toes and motivated to keep learning and improving where I can.
I love hearing these stories. Thank you so much for sharing.
Most people just don't realize what's possible because they simply lack exposure to badasses like yourself out there making it work.
Massively inspired.
Sir, I'm from India and I'm currently in College, I want to do business after college but I'm not sure about what should the business be about? Could you guide me? Also yes, I agree, it all ends where you give up. Once you've started on a path, everytime one wants to give up, he should look at how far he has come and that all his work would amount to nothing if he gives up. Sending lots of love

You hit the nail on the head.
"you have so much potential that you are wasting", has been the common thread all my life. The reason being is, all the things are that you have said. I evaluate the pros and cons out of every decision.
I've been wonderful at giving great business ideas to friends, that are doing really well with my ideas and business plans.
In today's society with social media there are many opportunities, yet I still havent created a RUclips channel or gone into anything online. I have a love hate relationship with technology and I do not want to make any mistakes that will make me look stupid on a system that can never be deleted.
I feel that that fear
Intelligent people tend to have more doubt than taking action
Truth
Bull-Headed people stick to whatever is infront of them and keep going. Hence become successful.

The only guy who consistently delivers sound perspective; practical and tangible. Personally, limiting beliefs got the best of me in High School, people had always told me I'm smart but I underestimated my own abilities to work hard and get the best possible results. Now however, at 19yrs, I emphasize persistence; I always think even if I set out to build a rocket (last I did science was in grade 9), in 10 years time (29), I'm sure I'd be closer to the end than the beginning. Thank you Anthony.
I love that perspective. It's so damn powerful.
Persistence, consistency, and dependability are all key. When sh goes down, people are going to call in the person with those qualities, and then you can name your price.
“You can’t lose if you don’t quit”
Imma take that quote to the casino
LOL. I need to open a casino.
lol
The thing is that mathematically, this actually DOES work at the casino. If you had a literally endless supply of money, you would always end up ahead of the house at some point. But no one does have that supply... Except them. That's why the house always wins, because they can outlast you.
So it's actually true even in a casino setting, but they happen to have more money.
Yeah there are a lot of toxic positivity sentiments in this video like that.
@@daysandwords some dude lost 200m at the casino, you can look it up on yt but he only did rng spins

Long time subscriber and finally RUclips's algo decided to show me Anthony still making video, I love how polished the video is 👍
The algo's been trying to keep us apart. Breaks my heart. But glad to see youre back now.
@@AnthonyVicino it brought u my way for the first time (I think) & I’m glad.. 🙌🏾
This video was a real revelation particularly the bit about how being dumb helps you maintajn the confidence to keep going till you do win whereas being very domain smart you get too stuck on what you dont know and underestimate success. I had been searching for someone to articulate this for a long time now and this perfectly gave words to that feeling. Particularly the too stupid to quit thing.
I was and am routinely considered very smart but dont take action until my brain burns out on anxiety and then i start. This helps to realise well actually i have no idea about what j dont know and i dont know how long it takes to solve that but that its less than the worst case scenario
Psyched you found this valuable!
I fell down the hole of "the whole game is broken, why even try?" for a while
Definitely helps push past the whole status-seeking phase a lot of people go through, but doesn't really get you anywhere in the end.
We all need money, gotta go out there and get after it.
So true, brother. So true.
this is a level 2 noob mindset, but its easier than the higher level mindsets, so I cant blame one for plateauing here. The truth is though, you don't need money, you need resources sure, but not money. Imagine exchanging something with someone and using a vehicle created by some 3rd party you've never met which mainly benefits the 3rd party (this is what ''money'' is in reality).
Did you know that ''money/currency'' was first created by kings of the past as a way to get their peasants to work the fields? Clay tablets with numbers would get distributed to the peasants as a ''promise'' that they can get X amount of grain at the end of the month as long as they worked the fields every day.
"We really need clay tablets, lets go out there and get after it" xDDD you see how ridiculous it is?
@@intfamous4001well unless you’re able and willing to live outside the system and be completely self sufficient then what you’re saying doesn’t make a lot of sense. money is the main and almost only means by which we can gain resources in the first place. exchanging things for resources and services is basically the glue that keeps up big societies. if we didn’t have the concept money we’d have some sort of other system to keep our communities / society going
If the game is broken, you just gotta find the exploits. You don't have to hack or cheat, just slip through the cracks.
Yes you need money, but you don't have to be millionaire.
If you can buy everything you need then you are fine.
If you have millions of dollars but feel you don't have enough then you are a poor man and you'll probably never be satisfied with what you have.
Great video. I love what you said about career and taking risk.
I had severe self loathing for years because I dropped out of uni twice and never finished a degree and got a trade instead.
Now at 34, I’m semi retired from some small-scale property development. It almost sent me broke and not a week went by where I wasn’t asking myself if this was a good idea, but eventually it paid off.
Now I’m doing what I always dreamt of doing, owning a wearable tech. development company to help people with industrial safety. I spend regular time with people that kick as at life and that I look up to.
Do the work and think big!
That's an incredible story, brother. Well done1
How much do you make in 1 year? Just asking if you don't want to tell it's ok.
Wow, just came across this video at the right time, about to start a new venture that will take me out of my comfort zone.
Though I'm smart, but I've always been afraid of looking stupid and failing. I'm going all in now 💃
You got this. Go for it.
man.. This hit close to home. I am now where you were, 28 years old with 80k in debt, and feeling like I am a drain on my friends, family and society has been suffocating. After college I got into sales and took off like a rocket, and after a couple years my ego got too big to work for my boss so I struck out on my own. I always thought that my quote unquote smarts were holding me back from going all in on opportunities to make money. I always felt like coward or something, which led to a 2 year spiral of me trying to drink and party myself stupid so that way I would be impulsive enough to be an entrepreneur. Working up out of the health side effects, mental and physical, has been a stark lesson for me and advice like this is too on the nose for me right now. I have a real scrappy sales opportunity coming up that I already have started talking myself out of (afraid of looking like an idiot blah blah blah) and I do not think I could have heard your story and message at a more perfect time. God bless bro
Psyched to hear this found you at the right moment, brother.
Actually your comment showing me how much USA is in debt compare to my country, its very scary for me
@@destro7161 here is something scarier: I paid off 120k in student loan debt by age 25 before I ran up this new debt! Proud of that, and once I wiggle out of this one I look forward to taking out a million dollar mortgage to buy a house! America baby
Another tip: Don't aim to be a billionaire from the beginning. The businesses to get you there are much harder and riskier than those that will get you to $10 million. When you get to $10 million, then you can decide if you want to spend your time pursuing further gains. And you will also be financially free so you have more time and energy to do so. You can also try and fail many times until you succeed.
I'm a big fan of basic cashflowing businesses. My first was a window washing company. Simple and proven demand. Learn the ropes there and then worry about going big.
Even Elon Musk’s first business only netted him around 22 million

S+ video. This gave me yet another reason to continue to block out all the noise of pushback that comes from many people with my decisions over the past 9 months. You’re awesome my g
Psyched to hear it!
I used to think being cautious was the way to go, but this video made me realize that sometimes being 'dumb' enough to take risks can actually be the smarter move.
100%! glad you found this helpful!
"You cannot follow common wisdom and expect uncommon results". Excellent!
This is the way
Doers beat Never Doers every time. The world is full of people who know everything and do nothing.

Immediately subscribed. Not surprised as I follow your daily content on LinkedIn along with Sahil Bloom and Ben Meer. You hit the nail on the head. I needed to watch and hear this video. Looking forward to new videos!
Hells yeah. Psyched you're getting so much value from the content here and on LinkedIn.
Well said, most “dumb” people aren’t afraid of taking the risk because they aren’t over analyzing every aspect of it, and also learning from the mistakes they do make and not beating themselves up over it
Truth
I wish i knew this earlier
Amazing video!
#4 held me back far too long
There's so much to learn here.
Thank you, Anthony!!!
"Keep going!" is a powerful message
I find #4 STILL trips me up after all these years. These patterns of thought and behavior are wired deep. It takes a lot of intention and effort to reprogram our minds.
This is honestly such a helpful video. thank you so much. Haven’t seen you or your content before 👌🏼
So pysched you enjoyed, Patrice! Thanks for stopping by.
Awesome video man- straight and to the point without being a half hour video talking about nothing.
Glad you enjoyed!
There is another aspect people rarely talk about. A lot of entrepreneurs won't mind saying / doing anything as long as it sells. But there are people who care about the value they're creating and the actual fulfillment in their work, not just the paycheck at the end. The latter will have much harder time making millions than the former.
There's some truth to this.
Years ago I had this idea that I wanted to start a RUclips channel where I would teach English. But then there was this thought in my head "Gosh, English is not even my first language. Would native speakers look down on me or my videos.." This thought just made me lose confidence. Your video has definitely ignited something in me. I'm going to just do it this year!
Thank you for the video. Subscribed!
I encourage you to check out Marina Mogilko. She has three YT channels and ~10M subscribers overall.

Excellent video buddy. Was this off the dome or did you have a teleprompter to help you too?
Thanks, brother!
All the videos I record on this video are off a teleprompter.
Many smart people are concerned about ethics. Its very hard if not impossible to make money at a good pace ethically.
I disagree. The people I've met who've made the largest positve impact on their community (and the world at large) are wealthy entrepreneurs.
@@AnthonyVicino yeah of course, they are the only ones that can afford to. But im talking about the wealth acquisition step, not what you do after you have it.
You have this COMPLETELY backwards.
@@villhelm how so. Profit by definition is immoral
That's a limiting belief
Fantastic. Excellent video, Anthony. Straight to the point and clarity in what works, and the simplicity of attaining success by not quitting! Kudos, bro and keep it up! I'm a new subscriber, by the way 🙂
Psyched to have you here.
This reminded me of a conversation I had with this friend who is generally known to be not very smart. Funny, entertaining, impulsive but just not smart. She was pitching me business ideas that we both could start and I kept telling her all of the risks and difficulties but she just kept saying no we can just do this or that it’s pretty simple and I had to explain to her why it’s not so simple. This video put that entire conversation into perspective for me.
This is the perfect illustration of the video. Perfect.
Thanks for the motivation man, it’s been a few years in limbo. I need to keep continuing
You got this
I think it's all about personal choice and knowing what you really want. For me a good paying job would be enough. Working for yourself brings more responsibility and stress than working for a typical 9-5 job for me. Plus, the money is not really worth if I have to deal with pressures coming from social media etc.
It all depends on how you make your money, I suppose.
@@AnthonyVicino yes, definitely
I had a business for 7 years. Decided to close it to spend more time with my kids
I can tell you, im WAY more stressed to work for corporations.
Its pretty easy to have success in business, its about working alot and taking risk and being creative at finding solutions. But it has a cost, you will see your family alot less.
Notice his exemple in the video with the guy with tatoos.. he has obviously no family.
@@JonathanVachon777 I think the best is minimizing cost, cos even if you have your own business, it's another kind of stressful to maintain and grow it imo
An interesting saying I learned years ago about competence, learning, during Krueger: The more you know, the more you know there is to know. Some times that scares the knowledgeable from moving ahead. They get frozen because they see things are complex. Sometimes a person wins because no one told them they can’t. Like the ‘dumb’ person who doesn’t see the obstacles, they win because they don’t see any obstacles.
Well said, Sally
That's the reason why I want to be behind the shadows to avoid critics because if you are rich they are going to pester you for the rest of your life in multiple ways and angles.
In a lot of ways it's definitely better to be rich and unknown.
Fame has all sorts of drawbacks.
Well. I hate fame too. High expectations. I have been there as a kid. Being a high achiever in my class back in primary school.
I agree! Fame definitely complicates life way more than is healthy!
My biggest setback that I’ve come to realize is I don’t want to be egotistical or self-centered and believe I am too capable of something when I’m not. I just don’t want to be judged I guess I’m afraid of that. I also realized that every time I gain confidence in something and pursue it, something bad happens that stumps it. Almost like I’m cursed, like I’m not allowed to enjoy doing what I love or find interest in. It happens every time. So I just let it go and don’t bother. But after this advice, Ima keep trying. Thank you.
We care so much about what others will think of us, when the truth is.. they're not thinking of us at the moment anyways. Don't let the judgments of people who don't matter (and aren't really thinking about you, anyways) stop yuo from pursuing your highest and best self.
Another video to watch repeatedly. I just wish they were longer
Thank you Anthony!
Glad you enjoyed. Sorry it's too short! :)
This is my first time seeing one of your videos. While I didn’t agree 100% with everything, I think your choice of words were excellent and rationales were well supported.
I really appreciate the feedback. Thanks for being here.
I feel like this video is gonna go viral. There's way too much gems in here to be discovered. You've done it again Anthony 🔥

This video was a masterpiece! Straight to the point and incredible tips. Keep up the good work!
Thank you!
This is why I love RUclips- it’s channels like this that challenge me. Thank you for the content!
Really psyched you found the channel valuable!
Analysis paralysis often hinders smart people to make a decision or take risks while the dumb one's that do sometimes they'll beat all odds and succeed.
Yep
This is very, very true. And, the smarter someone is the less likely they are to take action.
This is quite often the case.
This is the best video that I have seen right before the new year starts. I am very intelligent and highly educated. Overthinking and overanalyzing every move has not worked in my favor. Thank you so much for this advice.
Glad it was helpful! Happy New Year!
@AnthonyVicino Happy New Year to you too! I had an aha moment with your video. I have let some potentially great opportunities pass by because I thought I wasn't qualified enough when in fact I was but wanted to feel perfectly competent/ready. You have no idea how this video ignited something special in me.
Thank You Anthony. Great video. "I can't win if I don't start and I can't lose if I don't quit"
Boom!
Depends on your definition of value. If rich people buy things, then other people have jobs. Rich people have to pay more taxes to support people who don’t want to add any value to society. And rich people generally don’t magically get rich without adding value. Even if it’s inheritance, that rich person’s family created enough value for whoever is inheriting the money to be able to spend it as they see fit. And by virtue of spending it they’re creating value by giving others an opportunity to create and sell what they have.
True
The last part is so damn true.
Experienced that myself.
Found this video randomly.
You got yourself a new Subscriber 🙌
Hells yeah! Glad you stumbled onto the channel and found it valuable.
What a great timing for me to watch this video, Anthony. It definitely not only answered the question I was asking myself this whole year, but also gave me immense inspiration and motivation. Instant subscribe and I will make sure to pass the message on so that others could watch this amd the rest of your content. Thanks again, Anthony for the great lesson and visually appealing and highly enjoyable content.
My pleasure, brother. Glad you enjoyed.
I'll be honest... I was not expecting much from this video while I was surfing around, loading up some content while I worked. Just another bit of click bait, promising recycled cookie cutter hyperbole on how to make millions. But I was wrong... Great measured insight & advice that people should know, if they're on the path towards becoming a better version of themselves each day.
I'm also aligned with the '4 Stages of competence', which is not just a sound learning model but essential for mindful & spiritual development. If you want all green lights in your life, consistent synchronicity, then apply these rules.
Solid rules for success & life buddy. Well played. Subscribed!
Really psyched to hear you gave it a shot and were pleasantly surprised!
If you don't quit, it means you haven't been defeated - The chance to win is (still) there until you finally give up and stop trying.
It's been a difficult year here on RUclips, but giving up is not on the agenda :)
- Thanks for your words!
So true!
As Goggins say, stay hard!
Absolutely nailed it! This video is spot on.
Thanks!
You can't lose if you don't quit.... well you can get old and frustrated an bitter too. Not strictly entrepreneurial, but I quit a phd graduate position after struggling and failing to publish for 10 years to become an independent analyst. Not too successful yet, but I still consider it the best decision I've ever made.
That's fair. While not "technically" true, this is one of those empowering beliefs that moves you in the right direction nevertheless.
This topic has been bugging me for years. Finally over the last months I have come to accept it, along with the fear of looking stupid and doing my own thing on the channel.🎉
Hells yeah! Go get it.
I don’t really like some of the things stated in the video about your thoughts and your fixed mindset “like this rich guy is so dumb to quit” and other things mentioned in the beginning, but I do like that you spoke the truth and told what needed to be told to help us with being successful. From a perspective where no one really knew this stuff I would say it would be quite helpful. Also I do quite like your quotes at the end about not giving up and just not caring about what other people think, and just being the true version of yourself. Basically the theme of the quotes “you can’t win if you don’t start” and “you can’t lose if you don’t quit”. Very good wise knowledgeable, good advice especially that last one there. The belief of just believing in yourself no matter what and not quitting, but learning from mistakes. The first one is also quite good in terms of changing you le mindset from a “fixed mindset” to a “growth mindset” about taking risks, being bold and not being afraid to challenge yourself in different areas in life. Overall, the message and theme definitely helped the mindset to “get rich” (but not really) but does help one become successful, thus being “rich”, perhaps not always in money, but other beneficial ways. The video would definitely help you become more successful! Good stuff ❤
I normally don't watch videos like this because they're usually a bunch of cliché and nonsense. However, this one is quality. Young people, especially, should follow this advice.
Really glad you gave it a chance!
Fantastic video Anthony. I had successful 2023 starting my business, kickstarted by your valuable content I consumed religiously a year ago while at my former dead-end delivery job.

Happy to dive deeper, but can you be a bit more specific in what you're looking for?
@@AnthonyVicino maybe adding some real-life examples, the roots of these limiting beliefs, maybe there are some more subtle limits, and how can one get rid of these beliefs in their mind for the rest of their life. Appreciate the feedback.

There is no secret to success. People underestimate the huge effect luck plays in success. Not everyone is lucky to be born in the right family, have the right people around. Its just plain dumb luck.

I have the fear of looking like a fool and the ego bruising that comes with failing. The 9 to 5 life? Pure misery for me. And the "it's too risky" mindset-that's another one of my limiting beliefs. 🙈
You, my friend, dropped some major truth bombs. "You can't win if you don't start, and you can't lose if you don't quit." Those words will be my daily mantra now. You're the motivational coach I never knew I needed! 🙌
Ha, so psyched to hear you're finding the videos valuable, broter. That warms my heart.
@@AnthonyVicino Thanks, Anthony, you're awesome! A few more limiting beliefs I have are probably shared by most of your audience: making money is very difficult; making money isn't fun. :) Those are probably among the biggest limiting beliefs holding people back. If someone believes they are smart enough, it's easy and it's fun. :) Then it would just sound like a game of Monopoly, and they would probably dive right in with a passion. I have no idea how I could convince someone it's easy and fun; that would be a massive challenge, I think. Anyway, thanks for your fascinating content!
The fear of looking stupid. That is such a real thing that has caused me so much paralysis and kept me from even starting a path. i think so much so that i currently dont even know what skill to build cos ill analyze my way out of it almost instantly. Its like a brick wall that just wont budge, and i have rentals and am on a path to take over the family business, but i still feel like theres somthing im not doing or a path i need to take but just keep hitting that brick wall.
Fear of looking stupid is real. I've been there (hell I still am quite often)
thank the youtube algorithm gods. ive been a self help nut for a decade, but no action. this video answered so many of questions in my self help journey. thanks and subscribed!
Psyched to have you here!
Yep…I’m in the back of a van now working it out. The upside?
1. I’m employed
2. Paying off debt
3. Great things are coming my way…
You got this! Keep moving forward.
Limiting beliefs is a huge part, we stop before we start because we see this and that issue, we over complicate things. Some of us think too much instead of just doing it and dealing with things that may come up sling the way.
Exactly right
This is probably the most helpful video I've ever seen. Thank you so much.
You're very welcome!
powerful; great message as usual, Anth.
thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!
1. Incorrect belief "I don't care about money"
2. "I don't want to look stupid"
3. Smart people overestimate risk
4. "I don't know what I don't know"
You can't win if you dont start but you can't lose if you don't quit.
Good breakdown
TITLE SHOULD BE ***People better looking than me are making millions
You sayin' Kylie is prettier than me? That's just mean.
@@AnthonyVicino😂
I shutdown a successful restaurant business of over ten years and moved to the mountains to learn furniture making. I am in the process of building my own home. My goal is to make roughly 50% of everything i own or eat with my own two hands. I now understand how materialism and money were making me so unhappy.
That's pretty rad to hear.
Thanks for the content! I'm too damn stubborn to quit and completed my first passion project, Interstellar Sentinel. It's not going to be my retirement, but getting the business together around the game and all the other things needed has been valuable experience.
Great! You got everything you need to be successful. Go get it.
Hah! So many hamster wheels so little time :)@@AnthonyVicino
One of the best videos ive ever watched on this site, actually motivational content
Hells yeah! Psyched to hear that.
This message is like a sermon Christians or anyone need on a Sunday morning. Thanks brother..😁🙏🍻
Ha, thanks, brother.
@@AnthonyVicino Welcome.🍻
I would admin that your content is literally "blessings" to me!!, thanks for sharing such useful and engaging content
Thanks@
You’re so right. Intelligence and overthinking go hand in hand. Higher IQ is also associated with more mental illness, so that tracks.
Think less, do more. That's my motto.
It's not everybody that can show me a new perspective on a topic. And you just did. Your message is something i already knew, but your perspective of this same message completely gave me a whole new angle of view. If i was seeing this issue with a 2D lens, now your angle has completed this whole thing and transformed it into a full 3D.
That's really cool feedback. Psyched to hear that!
I liked this video, you're a well spoken dude that conveys these ideas well. Unfortunately (and maybe this is my excuse), in my experience the guy you describe at the first of the video always comes from money. Dad was a landlord, Grandpa owned a bunch of property, so on and so forth. It's hard to take chances when you have quite literally everything to lose. Maybe you have videos on this, but the fact that it wasn't mentioned is disappointing.
To own multiple apartment buildings, yes, the capital to finance that is not going to come from flipping old Harleys and renting studio time to upstart bands. The question should not have been "what do you do" but "where did you get the money to do what you do?"
My buddy didn't come from money. His parents didn't contribute anything to his business ventures.
For what it's worth, I also didn't come from money.
I started my first business (a window washing company) with ~$1,000 in savings (and $80k of debt). A year later I used the profits from that business to buy my first piece of real estate (a triplex). I used a loan designed for first time home buyers with low credit and low cash savings. I bought the building for $245,000, but it only required $7,500 out of pocket.
Over the years I've just kept rolling profits into new buildings... now, we've grown that initiakl $7,500 investment into an $85M portfolio.
My family didn't contribute a dime.
@@AnthonyVicino Thanks for the reply. I’m thinking that the current $85,000,000 is not a window washing empire. Am I correct? Reinventing into other areas, right?
@@douglasbarnes4035 Correct. I sold the window washing business and then started a couple other businesses. Most notably a manufacturing company producing indoor rock climbing equipment.
I always knew there was no way everyone with money was smarter, I just didn't know what I was doing wrong, Its kind of a helpless feeling, I've worked my ass off for years , I wish I knew what to do and what steps to take to get wealthy, I would follow them to a T. No guidance on finance was ever passed to me, I made a lot of mistakes.
You got this. Plenty of time to fix things.
What really bothers me about myself is that the only thing truly keeping me from success is my own mindset and fear of losing everything, even though that everything really isn't much lol
And even though that's the one thing entirely in my control, it's the hardest thing to get rid of. I know I'll never be successful until I can crucify those things, but clearly there isn't enough motivation yet...
Any tips on how to not be a bitch? lol
Edit: Should've watched the Whole video before commenting.
I feel that. We are always our own worse enemy.
Comfort is important and is what you’re scared of losing, which is natural. But you must cross that bridge to get to where you want if you really want it. It’s scary bridge, but you must cross. Gos bless
Thank you sooooo much for this, I really needed it.
You're so welcome!
The end of this video is text book toxic positivity. For every 1 story of someone who should've quit but didn't, then became a billionaire, there are 10,000 stories of people failing their whole lives, never being able to building meaningful relationships in the process, and dying broke and alone.
I'm just saying... I once had this belief then went to a bunch of networking events and got close with a few people. Close enough to realize their lives were pitiful lies. They were complete and utter failues in their 50s+ and were somehow still convinced their big break was juuust around the corner. Sad. Very sad. Don't let that be you one day.
So would you advise them to stop hoping and give up entirely? What's the alternative?
Damn…
@@AnthonyVicino There's a difference between hope and irrationality. Take a pause from being an entrepreneur for a bit and get a real job. Save some money and reduce the risk of being a life-long failure.
The title is misleading. The true lesson is “they took action and didn’t give up”. @12:50
That title would've gotten fewer clicks unfortunately.
This video is perfect. All the right ideas to simplify success in less than 15 mins. Bravo Anthony
Thank you! Psyched you liked it.
Man, each one of your videos is killer! You’re a great psychologist.
Love your work, Anthony. Thanks for sharing. 😎💪
I really appreciate that. Thank you!
You earned my subscription man, that was a beautifully done video. To the point and packed with good information and advice
Hells yeah! Psyched to hear that.
Wow dude, this is the knowledge my heart has been searching for. Thank you so much for sharing.
Glad it was helpful!
I think the primary cause of becoming wealthy is to know how to sell. If you're a great salesman, or you know how to create a product that really sells, then you have a great opportunity to win the money game. Sales isn't really something that's only for smart people. It's a skillset. And much like playing basketball, where certain attributes can propel you to the big leagues, it takes people with special talents to do well in sales. And intelligence doesn't have anything to do with sales.
So much like from ratatoille, not anybody can become a great salesman, but a great salesman can come from anywhere. But therein lies the problem. If winning the money game means you have to have a skill that is not gained from effort, but rather through some kind of genetic background, then that means most people are going to be doomed to poverty, no matter what they do. This, I believe, is a strong argument for socialism over capitalism.
Selling is a very powerful skill (not just for making money).
I personally don’t like salespeople. If a product is good it would sell itself. When I go to a car dealership I hate having a salesman follow me around. If I find something I will get to the person. I also have people always knocking on my door trying to sell solar panels and tons of other things. Like I said before if I want the item I would call people to get estimates. Anyway that’s just me, some love being catered to.
@EMan-cu5zo Keep in mind that I intend to use the concept 'sales' in its totality. Meaning that it's not just about selling in a traditional sales office, but also as a parent, as a teacher, as a friend, as an interviewee, etc. I've read several sales books and they all say that these mindsets and techniques can be used in all of life. And as far as I can tell, this seems to be true. This why products from all walks of life can be extremely inferior compared to their rivals, and yet still become #1 in the marketplace.
The smart person looks for the safest way to move to prevent uneccessary wastes of Time. That makes the process much slower in the long-term because they are more hesitant about risks and passing boundaries.
Interesting theory
This video can be summarised as analysis paralysis the bain of my existence. I'm only starting to get over it recently after watching how much others are making with practically the same product's I've been risk averse to sell 😂😂

This is by far the best video ever
Hells yeah. I'm psyched to hear that.
Risk could change from the point of view. Having a stable job without anything else, could be a huge problem if suddenly a economic crisis happens and wipe out your savings. Massive layoffs, career turning outdated, more competition, an accident.
All these things could happen and your "safe path" will be compromised. This doesn't mean that you shouldn't what most people do, but remember that everything has risk and even the safest options can catastrophically safe.
Having multiple incomes, getting life insurance, health insurance, learn to sell, don't waste money, don't stagnate money, etc, those are some tools to at least minimize risk. But no matter what you do, there is always risk, just minimize it but don't be paranoid about it.
