    Building wealth involves developing good habits like regularly putting money away in intervals for solid investments. Success depends on the actions or steps you take to achieve it.

    This is the first video I've seen from you and I just want to say THANK YOU. I'm originally from Arizona and moved across the country, leaving EVERYONE and EVERYTHING I knew behind. I left the toxic environment of my family and the mindset of the people around me. I moved to the east coast on June 1, 2019 and since have opened 2 businesses, written multiple screenplays, which are winning multiple international awards, produced and directed my first feature film with absolutely no money, and that was just picked up and is streaming currently on Tubi! It is doing extremely well and I have recently had 2 big newspapers publish stories on me and my film. In addition to having more in person interviews lined up, I am getting ready to film my first season of a sitcom I wrote and am being paid by other producers to write for them. My sisters refuse to clap for me. They will not speak to me or even acknowledge me. I had to give them up to find my happiness, and I would do it all over again if I had to. Still working on being able to be self sustainable like you, but you're proof that it IS possible. Thank you!

Jobs and Businesses and moving and new lifestyles and taking courses and trying trying trying. Always doing more more more. And Jesus, everything seems to eventually fall away and im back at square one, at the age of 27. But I CANNOT GIVE UP ON MYSELF. I fuckin cannot. My future self is begging me to keep going.

I'm in my mid 20's, barely making enough money, can't afford to live on my own, hate what I'm doing for a living, hate that I have to still rely on my parents' financial stability when I feel like I should be the one giving back at this point. I feel stuck, and not so much depressed but definitely defeated. I'm really just trying to find ways to make things different for myself now. Hoping that by the end of this year I'll have a clearer goal that I'm working towards with a step-by-step on how to get there 🤞🙏🏼

    • @vvonderweiss

      Living with your parents can be a blessing if it provides stability. There are plenty of young people who feel financially independent because they're sharing an apartment with 3 other people, only to find themselves scrambling to keep a roof over their heads just because one of the roommates had a falling out with the others and left. If your family is able to provide that stability, be humble but NEVER shamed. How do you think wealthy adult children live: off their parents. Use this period to invest in yourself with the same dedication and drive your family has invested in you. Progress is a process. You are only in your seed stage, with much time and the right nourishment, your efforts will bear fruit. Don't let anyone on social media make you think your stage of progress isn't part of your growing process. You are doing the best you can with what you have and know now. Each day is another opportunity - don't sell yourself short! Always keep an ear open to learn something new because learning what you like and dislike helps. Be committed to learning, not just in school. People who show discipline unconsciously draw the company of other helpful like-minded people. You will grow so much that the future you will be proud of how diligent you are now.❤

      Well parents should NOT have been having children they could never afford in the first place. That’s honestly where it all starts. birthing children you can’t fully invest in, then looking at them as if they’re failing is insane. She literally had been working sense 13. That’s not admirable that’s because her parents lack of access to resources. That’s also why she couldn’t go to school. You want them to accomplish things you couldn’t even do and feel disappointed when they don’t. It’s truly crazy in my opinion. They don’t lack motivation but they lack a proper head start.

    girl, I just wanted to say I’m so glad I found your channel because it is SO refreshing, validating and inspiring to see someone successful on social media who wasn’t either born into a wealthy family or already started with a degree, corporate job, etc. This video had me shook because so much of what you spoke about, I’ve been through too and could relate to. I’ve had my fair share of trauma as well and for a long time I’ve allowed my mental health issues to hold me back. I’m 25 now and am at a similar turning point you were, living at home and not seeing the progress I want year after year. out of all the youtubers I’ve seen your videos are by far the most helpful I’ve come across. you’re the first person I’ve watched who gives practical steps to achieve instead of just saying to “manifest” it. and there’s nothing wrong with that but I truly appreciate your method, advice and explanations especially with the core beliefs. I’ve done a LOT of shadow work on myself and I didn’t even realize that there were some last subconscious hurdles that I’m needing to get over. you don’t know how helpful your videos have been for me already after having just found them yesterday!! I truly believe that this is where I was guided to be able to finally achieve my dreams. I thank you in abundance 🫶🏻🫶🏻🤍🤍🤍

    I noticed that people who didn’t let other people tell them that they “can’t“ do something, and didn’t allow other’s negativity to deter them from their dreams, have become successful. There will always be someone or something that tries to tell you “no it’s not possible”. Sometimes it can even be your own voice saying “it’s not gonna work”, but you gotta push through that. Remember not everyone can see your vision. And when something is trying to deter you, keep moving forward. You will accomplish so much more if you don’t give up 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤

Being an avid reader, I came across a report by Northwestern Mutual on the same topic and found that if I choose to put a lump sum into solid investments, I am more likely to have a higher balance over time. Being a novice at the time, I saw that as a queue to get into the market. That was quite the turning point in my finance.

Now I think maybe I can do it too, and I've been watching videos trying to get inspired to make that step and start changing what I'm doing. I think I might actually pick up my journal again today for the first time in probably over a year and write and make a plan.

I went through all of the things that you just mentioned going through. I was going to class to become an RN, and stopped because the money, and stress of working full-time as a CNA was too much for me. I'm currently living with my father because I've been so depressed, I just feel like giving up and not trying anymore. Watching this video almost feels like a sign from God because I can relate so much to you. I just made a list of goals from one of your videos and plan to follow through with them in 2023. On the bright side when I lost my savings, I went through so many mental struggles that I had no choice but to start exercising. I would have ended my life, but because of changing my diet/fitness I have lost over 20lbs and am in the best physical and mental state I've ever been in! Now to start implementing those goals!

As financially responsible as I am, life still ran its course and I had to move back in with my mom at 23 years old. I set goals for myself and accomplished all except one, which is moving out. Honestly it's so difficult because I have an eviction history and no credit yet. Me moving out will literally do so much for me because I have potential that I cannot tap into until I have my own place. Big potential. But it's tough because it's not the healthiest place to be mentally. But I won't give up no matter what.

    OMG! Wow, your story is my story.The sadness in my story my fear and insecurities paralyzed me well past my 20s. I am just now in the past 6 yrs started coming into the knowledge of who God created me to be. I've been journaling since I was a teenager and I just recently went back to read over the past few years. I've come a long way and I am grateful that I know there is still so much more to come. Thank you for the encouragement and the reminder.This really resonated with me. I pray every morning and I know that there are no coincidences. #divineconnections

I am at the beginning of my journey where I just got my own apartment not long ago, but in order to level up and get to the version of myself that I want to be, I have to step back and move back home to save and reevaluate. I struggle to trust the process sometimes. But seeing that you could do it gives me hope. I know i can get to a place where I work for myself

    I am a stay at home mom of almost 4 kiddos and it's just easier for all my kides schedules to stay home and I love being a homemaker... but I am turning 29 this year and I have sacrificed myself for my family for so many years now, I feel like I'm missing something about coming into my 30s. Watching this is really inspiring for me. I always want to be a present mom, but I also want us to have financial freedom. I see so many other moms starting their own businesses and I just want to make it so bad, I will do anything at this point to make sure I break out of the average lives our family's have led! I wish my boyfriend could be home more and he just works his ass off, to barley make it. I am going to binge watch all your videos ! ❤

    “Why am i trying to try.” WHEN SHE SAID THIS!!! A lot of us are trying so hard like she described but trying just creates resistance. We have to lie go & learn to Love where we are right now. Change our perspectives & believe. Trying & working hard to manifest does not work.

      In life’s journey, having the ability to predict the future gives us an unfair advantage. If we can understand the laws of cause and effect, anyone can predict the future. What we do today leads us to tomorrow’s destination. Why does this simple truth seem to be difficult for most people to understand?” ― Celso Cukierkorn

      @Brad; I do agree. The prominence of institutional or basic financial managers cannot be exaggerated. Markets are oceans not lakes. Diversification too as stated is key. Take myself, having encountered my fair share of bad trades, I was able to realize how timing, capital, entry and a lot more are essential. Now, I have a $122k portfolio averaging a 12% monthly roi in less than a year following - Yvonne Annette Lively -so I do know the importance of basic knowledge and delegation.

    6 mins in and I'm crying - I had to pause to comment. This is so refreshing to see like an actual real story of like growing up in not the best conditions and generational trauma. I'm in the same position you were in before it broke through for you. I really related to the idea of what's the point in trying to try when maybe I just can't. I just want to say thankyou for being so authentic in your explanation. I was even hesitant to watch this BC of the way these videos usually are. And the idea of ruining it for yourself. I think that's a deeply ingrained, subconscious thing that can only be mended with awareness but it's not something we can judge ourselves for because it's basically hard wired into our psyche and dna to operate that way. I feel like every time I'm about to make a sale or do something great, I get this terrified gut feeling and want to ruin it because I'm scared of doing the thing. It's so frustrating because I work so hard and want it to pay off...

    I love your transparency too, because it is SO HARD to go for your dreams and be that overachiever. I am working on pushing forward in my journey right now. It has been tough and I know that I have a long road ahead of me but for me there isn't an alternative. I refuse to settle, because I know what I am capable of and I want more.
