0:00 so I know that some of you guys watch my videos and quite frankly you hate me and to be honest that's fine with me you see I've been uploading my life now on YouTube for 9 years I'm talking about the UPS the Downs The Good The Bad from starting my first business to take care of my mom to hiring my first employee at 17 to dropping out of school to making my first million to then making over $100 million since then and documenting the whole journey now for some people I'm a hero for some people I'm a villain but quite frankly I don't really care and I don't mean that in any egotistical way it's just I'm a human okay I'm a real person who lives life who up who succeeds and then just shares what works for him and if you find that valuable watch and if you don't that's cool as well some people love me some people
0:45 hate me but no one can deny that I set out with a mission I said what I wanted to do I did it and I recorded the whole entire thing so what you're about to see is nearly a decade of dedication delusional belief in the grace of God so here is my journey from a 15-year-old kid to nine figures and let's start with 2016 when I made the best decision in my entire life without even realizing it picking up a camera and building a personal brand yeah uh I basically just want to talk about why I'm doing this before I end off um and where I want to go with it um I started on Instagram maybe 2 and 1/2 months ago and I can honestly say in that 2 and 1/2 months mons lots of
1:31 opportunities have popped up and it's really really been just a great decision I you know I start off one photo now I have 60 odd whatever um and yeah in that 2 and 1 half months I've gotten sponsorship offers I've gotten so much feedback I've gotten people telling me that I Inspire and motivate them and all these things are just amazing for me to hear and they really just make me quite happy um uh I've given out advice when asked I really just tried to help people out with their journey and I've tried to share mine and if that's interesting to people then so be it and I'm happy they're on my Instagram and enjoying my
2:18 content um and really just the next step for me is YouTube um I'll be honest this is maybe the third day I vlogged and this is probably the first day I've gotten it properly as I wanted it and I'm still nowhere near what I want my video production to be and what I want my videos to look like um there really is just quite quite a distance to go before I reach that place um and I'll be honest YouTube vlogging is just so so hard uh especially in the gym so hopefully something I'll get better at practice makes perfect same applies for literally anything in life that's really what I want guys I I
3:05 want I want to help I want to inspire I want to motivate um if you guys have any questions feel free to ask me I will answer um because at the beginning I had so many questions and I asked as many people as I could and they really helped me out and now what I want to do is I want to take what I've learned and help other people out um I want to provide value is basically what I'm trying to say so now what I want to do is I want to take this I want to share my journey and if that inspires and that motivates people along the way I've done what I I've I've accomplished my goal basically my goal is basically just for another 15 14 16 19 20 whatever however old you are
3:54 to see my video and think wow you know if you stick in there if you put in the work great things can happen credit what credits do I mean when I used to look at all these YouTubers saying they'd get home and then they'd have to do editing I would think how long just putting together a couple Clips take it took me an hour last night to put together overlay some music render a 13-minute video this vlogging things harder than I thought hey guys so I want to end off today's Vlog by inviting you to ask yourself why are you here what's your purpose what's your passion you know
4:39 it's 11:30 I just did my second workout of the day and the reason I can do that is because I know what my purpose is I know what my passion is and I don't ever think you're too young to figure it out I think it even at 15 16 17 18 it's important to know it will change over the course of your life and there's nothing wrong with that for some people stay the same but I don't want to offer you guys a subpar service so I'm going to continue studying I'm going to keep learning and then one of these days guys I will offer nutrition workout online coaching and I'm going to make sure it's an amazing service let's hope this focus is
5:27 in Focus yeah there we go um guys I get a lot of questions and a lot of DMS asking um you know will you make a workout plan for me will you make a meal plan for me and they're offering money in exchange a lot of people actually do online coaching and I think it's a great thing I don't think you need to pay insane amounts of money to have a personal trainer there by your side I think if you get a solid workout a nutrition plan and you just get some support it's it's really not that hard um guys the equipment at the end of the day it doesn't matter what matters is the narrative the message you're putting across and the way you put together all the clips and edit it and the way you
6:13 present that message and that's once again something that I need to work on and that's something that I'm continuously striving to improve because this is this is the way in which I share my message it's through YouTube it's through my Instagram it's through what I write on Instagram it's through my periscopes the way I message back and the amount of detail I message you back with and the thought and the care I put into things so guys this is just my sort of way of saying you got to hold yourself accountable you have to constantly evaluate what you're doing if you don't know I train maybe three four people like on a consistent basis and I make them workout plans uh sometimes even
6:58 meal plans help them achieve their goals because these are friends of mine it's easy to think in times like these that you're useless you're worthless you're undisciplined you can't push past challenges but guys everyone has off days bad days honestly I can say that today I mean I was sick um but I genuinely got nothing done or at least very little done and that's not something I'm proud of I think it's important to still be able to push past obstacles like that and make sure you're getting everything done daily which you need to but you are going to have days like these guys and don't beat yourself up about it reflect on the day think about
7:44 why it happened and then move on and make sure tomorrow is a really really great day and you make up for everything that's happened today so that's exactly what I'm planning on doing I'm just going to go home reflect on today and set all my goals and my to-dos for tomorrow and tomorrow I'm going to crush it I want you to be I want you to switch on to my video and I want you to see me say my message and then actually go through with it I want you to see me you know motivate you guys and then I want you to see me within the Vlog you know lift lift to the best of my ability
8:30 read books uh study do all these things that are helping me and making me a better person and I just want to inspire and motivate you guys through that and that's what I'm best at so that's what I want to play towards um and yeah that's pretty much it guys I just want to talk about something that's been on my mind and that's disassociating yourself from negativity negative people I think we we take for granted just how much negative people and Ne negativity in general actually how much energy it actually saps from us honestly guys you can go for a 30 minute run and you can talk to a negative
9:15 person for 5 minutes they'll have the same effect once you just walk away from having a negative conversation with a negative person you just feel drained you feel as though they stolen energy from you and that's not how you should feel you should always try and surround yourself with positive people you should have positive thoughts and you should go about things in a positive manner because there's always a negative and a positive way to go about things um even something like not fulfilling your duties that's negative you know putting in the work when you don't want to that's positive I mean I I look at everything like that
10:03 and as I said I think we take for granted or not sorry sorry not take for granted but we underestimate just how much it has an effect on us and guys I'm just saying try and take negativity and keep it the hell away from you because that's not what you need your thoughts should be positive because positive thoughts lead to posit positive outcomes um and your friends and your the people you are around should be positive because if they're not it's just going to sap so much energy from you and guys I'm not saying you should be an optimist and look at
10:49 everything with uh sheer positivity and whatnot I don't think that's healthy either I think it's definitely right and it's understandable when sometimes you are negative and you know you just want to complain or you want to take the easy route or you you just had enough and you're in a negative bad place I think that's understandable and it's fine but what I'm trying to say is live a 90% positive life live a 95% positive life and go about everything in a positive manner because that will yield much better results getting better becoming the best version of yourself is just such an important concept it's and such an important idea that I want to
11:36 remind myself because you know sometimes I feel like being Idol I feel like just not accomplishing and not moving forward because that takes effort and sometimes you're just so tired you really don't want to whatever your reason or excuses so that just reminds me of my core value which is always move forward always find ways to improve and always find ways to become the best version of yourself all right guys just to end this Vlog off I thought I'd show you something I'm quite proud of and something that's continuing to grow and that is my sort of book collection here on my sort of desk in my room not desk
12:22 like what whatever I can call this um these are pretty much just like 35 of my favorite books I have maybe 50 more hard hard copy books um in my actual like bookcase and then I have like 50 more on my Kindle which I never use anymore um I just use the app on my phone when I'm in the tube just to read so we've got books like Total Recall um Arnold Schwarz and Egger uh autobiography what everybody saying book on body language way of superior man one of the best books I've ever read science of persuasion Richard Branson losing my virginity Power of Now man search for meaning uh Sam Walton made in America
13:09 contiki Marcus aelius meditations so this is more autobiography biography spiritual side um all this stuff sort of inspires me intrigues me um makes me understand myself better um here's more along the The Real World um so we've got stuff like asra Campbell winners forour Work Week D let get more um free economics Thinking Fast and Slow personal MBA uh basics of economics how to speak money making habits Breaking Habits power uh The Power of Habit willpower Mastery uh 48 Laws of Power and my Kindle and then I've just got my nasm notes um some
13:58 investing notes some personal notes um and goal setting from like a year ago which is always interesting to look back at I've had people offer me offer to pay me for online coaching and for online Co consultations and whatnot I don't want to do that yet because I don't feel as though I'm ready and I don't feel as though I can offer you an amazing product an amazing service whatnot guys I'm training people in real life I'm reading Sports Science um you know textbooks and then distilling that down into notes and really revising it and studying it I'm learning my craft in order to provide value so that one day I
14:44 can feel I have the right to be paid for my services right now I don't feel as though that's the case because I don't feel as though I'm providing enough value in order to be paid for it so I'm just trying to be completely transparent with you guys I don't want to you know give you a horrible service in return for your money I want every single person who I charge in the future to be blown away by what I give you and what I present to you when I'm not motivated I just think about the people I'm helping and all the questions I get and you know the positive effect that this will have but the point is I'm taking time out of my day and
15:29 this isn't easy but I'm taking time out of my day to create this for you guys oh yeah guys Ben Francis followed me if you don't know who that is let me just show you one sec wait wait oh God I'm feeling it okay there we go um he's actually the co-founder and owner of gym shark even before he followed me I knew all about him I mean his story and what he's done with the company is absolutely amazing it's insane and I don't know I find it really really cool that he actually followed me sponsorship coming soon I'm telling you guys whenever you put yourself out there you have to expect that you're
16:15 going to get criticized laughed at people are going to think you're stupid or they're pretty much going to taunt you but don't give people that right it's your life you have to do what you want to do to me honestly I'm just enjoying the journey so much that it doesn't even matter how many subscribers how many views how many likes but the fact that every day there's usually around 150 people who watch my videos 150 people who take out 10 to 15 minutes of their day to watch me talk to a camera to watch my life that's incredible um so I just want to thank you guys either you achieve something or you don't so find a
17:01 way to achieve and accomplish your goals and if you fail don't make excuses go to the drawing board look at what you did wrong readjust make some more goals and make sure you hit them next time all right guys so I hope you enjoy that edit what I'm going to leave you with right now is a couple clips from earlier on in the day it's okay man crazy story all right so so it was uh outside on the street yeah on the road outside on the street yeah saw MacBook Pro and then took a while to look through your papers listen I've got to say thank does
17:47 it I mean it doesn't matter you guys have got it and that's I mean it's amazing how the laptop is SM yeah it's just I can't believe it's not whoops all right guys so found him right now here he is can I say guys um especially all torn up and stuff but yeah all T guess what this is why you should buy an Apple it lives through anything so what you saw right there was yesterday while I was on my way to the gym my mom drove me and our car my mom thought there was just some PL black plastic bag in the middle of the road and my mom ran over something and we kept driving heard like a little hiss
18:33 and I realized there must be something underneath the tires underneath the car itself so I stopped uh looked underneath and there was a bag um not going to lie I was a bit freaked out yanked it out um it was just a black bag and uh there was a MacBook Pro in there um an iPhone uh plane tickets like just a bunch of stuff and it was someone's belongings guys someone had lost it you know I tried my best I I looked and I looked um you know my mom and other people were telling me to take it to the police station but never underestimate the power of the internet these days so I looked online spent quite a while and
19:21 finally found the company he worked for found his company email through a link from an expo that I think he's going to uh uh got in contact with him and was able to finally give it back to him today it was the best feeling in the world guys um he his wife had just given birth and uh he has two kids um you know so he was really in a rush and he dropped his bag with all his belongings in it and guys what I'm trying to say here is honestly you know I don't think the world is completely righteous I'm not completely righteous I don't always do the moral things I'd be completely lying to you if for Split Second it in you know occur in my mind that I could sell this stuff for two like 1,500 lb 2,000 lb and buy myself new camera
20:08 equipment and a new phone and all this crap but guys I think in this world I do genely believe that you attract what you are and if you do the moral thing I do gen I don't believe in karma but I believe that that's what you'll attract and you'll receive that back if you're a high value person you'll attract high value people if you do the moral and the job thing I do genuinely think that it'll come back to you one day so that's my final message to you guys you know be the change that you want to see in the world set the example and you know sometimes you'll get [ __ ] over but in the end you'll always be you'll always come out on top so if you enjoy this video please like comment subscribe and have a great day guys all right guys so I just hit 500 Subs that may be a small
20:54 deal to other people that but that is so so impressive to me I still can't believe I hit 500 subscribers just to think that 500 people looked at my YouTube channel and they're like oh okay this guy has something to offer is pretty crazy and it's only been like 3 months so I really appreciate it guys and I'm going to continue to work to make this channel better and more enjoyable for you guys put out free content guys my number one goal is to put out as much free content before I you know and if some of you guys want to take it to the next next level and really change your lives I've got my online plans I've got my in-person clients I just came back from training two clients so the message I want to leave you guys is give first of all give
21:40 before you take get out of this taking mentality find ways you can always provide value find ways you can pump out free content before you expect people to buy a $300 online coaching package all guys so what you saw right there was a workout with my girlfriend uh it was last week's episode so you know it takes a lot of courage to be completely honest about what's going on in your life and you know the UPS the Downs here on YouTube it's really easy whether you have one subscriber or a million to show you know just the good
22:28 side show how awesome your life is um and when you've got a personal uh YouTube such as myself when you decide to share your life such as myself I think it's important to show the ups and the Downs um so point is I just want to be like completely honest with you uh going forward you know the next couple episodes uh next couple Vlogs might be a bit more mellow um not as happy uh basically today was my girlfriend's last day in London uh she moved back so that's just something I'm warning you about right
23:13 now so guys if you know if you do YouTube If you know if you're trying to put on a facade with your friends if you're trying to act like everything's okay and your life is just up up up um which is I find it easy to do especially because a lot of people are like oh wow 16 you've got this in order this in order this in order I can't believe you're 16 blah blah blah show your struggles because you honestly don't know who you could be helping just be completely real and there's someone who could learn from your journey when you do good when you put great stuff out there that's what you're going to get back I think just being on I know I
23:59 deserve this because the amount of free content I put on YouTube the amount of time I put into my Instagram replying to every single person who you know asks me a question or anything like that this is the byproduct of all that work and giving all that effort when you give you receive simple as that and I've given a lot of value recently and I guess now's my time to receive so I think in yesterday's video I told you guys about how I was hired to manage my old Club social media do their marketing and their branding so I'm just having a call with the owner right now to discuss a few details use something like Photoshop or Lightroom just to make it look more professional work the first billable um
24:45 so that's YouTube okay uh also there's a lot of analytics that I want to look on on this um see when you're getting most traffic uh and then optimize to post at those times what I want to talk to you quickly about is enjoying the proc now you're not going to find happiness from when you get that first 1,000 subscribers or when you make that first million maybe in my case it's not a first million but when you make a th000 in a month which I've done which I did last month actually so you're you're not going to find enjoyment from that guys what you are going to find enjoyment from is the tedious sort of stuff you know making channel art or talking to clients it's a little sort of things and it's literally about enjoying the
25:30 process and if you can find a way to do that then maybe you're doing the wrong thing and that's something you should think about you could be doing this as well if there's you know if you're looking at something expensive that you want maybe you want to go on a trip look at something you're you know okay at or maybe even good at and find a way to monetize it don't use your age as an excuse if you know you're whatever 15 to 18 but because people will still hire you for quality as long as you know what you're doing as long as you can Market yourself well there's a lot of money to be made out there in whatever your Niche is so I hope that's number one answered your question as to how I can afford the things that I can afford and number two
26:17 I hope that's inspired you to seriously take a look at your life and think okay how can I make money off of the things that I love doing or the things that I'm great at let me just be honest with you my main like my set point is I'm very negative I make excuses a lot um I'm very lazy like I'm serious this is genuinely where I come from I'm not very clever I don't retain information very easily but what I am is very hardworking I've you know weeded out all those bad attributes um things like not being able to remember or retain information easily that's why I've realized that and I highlight and I make
27:03 information packets and I look over things again and again you know things like I'm lazy I'm naturally very lazy I find out what motivates me I make sure everything around me is um you know success oriented everything from the music I listen to to the audio books I listen to to the books I read to the people I have around me to the things I watch and even my own selft talk I got at least four or five comments asking how do you afford this crap it is a lot of money guys first of all my parents my mom isn't helping me in the slightest uh pay for this this is literally all my own money and you may be wondering how I can afford something that's 1,500 lb and that's
27:49 simply I worked for it like simple as that and I've always looked at people who can Iz their passion and I've never thought they're cheating the system or they just got lucky I thought wow that's genuinely incredible that they were C able to cultivate something that they're good at and then they were able to find a way to Market themselves so people paid them for their service and that's precisely What I've Done guys I've you know I started getting into the gym and then I built up a brand on Instagram you know just for no reason to begin with and then I started building up this YouTube started building up my Snapchat and you know throughout this
28:35 time I was getting people asking me do you do online coaching and I'd always say no and then I started thinking about it and it actually became an idea in my mind so I started studying uh nasm NCA notes you know I really got into the technical side of things and then I spent over a month building my website and through all of that I've been able to make money through online coaching through personal training uh as well as now I'm making money through uh social media marketing and branding these are all stuff that took a long time to cultivate so what I you know the thing I want to leave you guys with is if you have a passion and especially if you guys are
29:22 young I mean I know a lot of you guys are young out here if you want to go to college um you know it's such a good thing to have it's a good way to make money on the on the side whether you know you can do personal training freelance or videography freelance or you know whatever it is whether you can consult for uh or give advice on meditation and be a meditation coach or you know literally whatever it is if you can cultivate a skill from an early age and you don't have to be you know brilliant or amazing I get that common a lot guys guys I was just making an invoice for my first billable next week um next week is
30:07 basically when I start getting paid for my uh social media work um with the football club I'm working with I just find it so crazy guys um you know I'm creating invoices and I'm like learning all the stuff and it's super cool that you know I'm learning this stuff at 16 and I remember the the reason I tell you guys this is because I know a lot of you guys are sitting behind your screens and you're thinking wow like you're I number one you're either jealous and that's mainly because you're like I there's no way I could do that and the only reason I'm saying that is because I know what it's like like I you know even a year ago I never would have imagined this I I looked it you know you
30:53 hear all these Su success stories of these 16 17 18 year olds making so much money off stocks or Commodities or you know even for their service or you know founding these startups and then selling them and I always thought there was something weird about it or you know I thought there was something unique or special to them that there's no way I could do something like that and I'm not comparing myself to someone who creates a startup and sells it for a million but you know I'm at a point where I'm still in school and I'm getting paid for you know coaching people I'm getting paid for running people's social media people are paying me for my service I've gone to a point
31:40 where you know I provide so much value that people are you know paying me to go to the extra step and do even more for them I just find that so cool guys I really do find that crazy um and I never would have imagined half a year ago and that's why I'm I'm telling you guys this because put out your first video put out your first post you know [ __ ] look for something in your house pick it up and make that your first sale on eBay whatever it is just try stuff all right guys so from one call to the next this one is not a client this one

39:21 know go into this business Endeavor and this business Endeavor and I'm getting really creative and that comes with a lot of work and when I say a lot of work I mean a soul destroying amount of work and sometimes it's hard for me to keep up and it's a sacrifice that I kind of have to make and especially at my age at 16 I I'm sure you guys must have seen recently if you're following my Snapchat and stuff like that you know I'm getting tempted to go out and party and be with friends all the time as a lot of 16-year-olds do but I guess it's something that I have to sacrifice going forward if I reach my bigger Vision my my lifestyle goal rather than you know just a shortterm hedonistic goal just having pleasure and whatnot all right
40:08 guys so fast forward 6 hours we're with this one oh I thought you going to f we're on our way to Chipotle dude I can't wait in like 2 years 3 years where we're ubering everywhere but uh you're going to be [ __ ] loaded with Fitness money Mr iig Fitness I'm going to be a peasant in college $70,000 in that so one step at a time okay but yeah still no okay well I'll pay for the Uber love you yeah dude I can't wait until like 2 years until we Uber everywhere but for now um for now it's bus so what you just saw in 2016 was the bubbling up of potential I will say that when it rains it pours in 2016 was the year that things were heating up before what was about to be the most life-changing year of my life 2017 was truly the year that
40:55 everything changed for me so guys I hope you enjoyed this video it was pretty all over the place I think it was over the span of 5 days and as I said that's because I had the shoot and then I had two more since then so I've had to do a lot of photo editing video editing and haven't really focused on my Vlog that much all I can say is stop thinking how you can take things from people and start giving value because when you give value people's guard is let down and they sort of bring you into their world now I'm actually going to be working with affle really really closely in terms of content creation and building the brand so there's going to be a lot of exciting stuff coming soon so guys this year I'm not playing around the past 2 months have been insane and
41:43 I'm telling you this is only a start I can live every single day with passion and you're seeing the results now and I haven't picked up the camera in 2 weeks and a lot has happened in 2 weeks a lot of big deals more clients signed on new you know what maybe this doesn't work out maybe I fall flat on my ass but you know what I enjoyed the journey I love the journey and it's very rare that when someone's really passionate about something and they have the drive and they have the motivation and the self-discipline that they fail at what they're doing because even if they get knock down they're going to get recreative they're going to work not harder but they're going to work smarter this time and they're going to achieve their dream lifestyle I cannot tell you how proud I am for being able to travel for work for my passion for something that love doing and get paid for it 2017
42:31 already has been the craziest year of my life and there are big things coming I'm telling you and I want to tell my story because I know it's a very unique one not many people are like me at this age but I know a lot of people have the aspiration to do something like me at this age and they just need someone to show them how it's done because to be honest I don't know any other 17-year-old who's like so into entrepreneurship is out there making his own money at this age networking with really influ IAL people getting paid to travel for what he loves to do so that's something I really want to share with you guys so we are at the athlete HQ just waiting on the first of the influencers second one's coming we're shooting a couple videos today um I'll see if I can plug them in lot of excited content all right guys so we're on
43:16 location here currently trying to set up the crine um this is a really really dope 3 AIS stabilizer only problem with this is if you don't have a tripod this thing is it's tough wait wait wait wait for it no oh damn it damn it I just have to I nearly had it it's like 3:00 a.m. right now I'm just bleeding my eyes out just trying to put up as much content as possible trying to get daily uploads for YouTube and um posts on Instagram every day so all right guys so meeting all done very very exciting stuff uh I can't tell you some of the stuff right now um I found out some really good news this morning which I mean will materialize in like 3 weeks or so but we're here with
44:02 Jacob um this place is really cool it's uh what is it Clifton nurseries okay yeah this is our secret spot but um yeah in terms of our personal brand big things coming this year the fact that you can have freedom you can have personal freedom I get to choose my hours I get to travel for a living I get to travel for my work I get to you know like my honestly my hour my um my work week is like 20 hours and uh I can make that even less if I delegate um more to like my team of uh graphic designers content creators marketers to announce that today is the day where I have my last day at school I I'm officially the 17-year-old High School Dropout and um I came to the decision after having an incredible 3 months
44:49 incredible 6 months getting to a point where I have mentors who I trust and I've learned so much from getting to a point where financially like I know I'm going to be okay even with this decision getting to the point where I have so much passion and drive for what I'm doing that I I just can't sit there and learn all this stuff and deal with the opportunity cost that comes with wasting all this time so so yeah this whole the the point of this whole video was basically just to show you in like one day how much hustle there is um and then in terms of like as I said it's 3:00 a.m. in the morning so like the amount of editing involved with it as well is crazy uh in content creation it's way harder
45:38 than you could ever imagine even though my work week is only 15 20 hours which is what is you know bringing my income my Revenue I put so much pressure on myself outside of that and I um you know I end up getting like four or 5 hours of sleep most nights just because like there's so much opportunity out there I'm so excited and I I I can't contain it honestly guys I genely find it incredible the fact that nowadays you you have zero excuses if you have internet and a phone you know you can start your personal brand you can start your business you can um you can travel you can see the world like there's nothing you can't do on an iPhone or any phone for that matter nowadays so um you know like I basically I want to crush any excuses that you guys have um I want to give back I want
46:25 this to be an opportunity for you to realize do and like now's your time to start start your personal brand now's your time to start your business if you were thinking about making YouTube videos this has at 1080p front-facing back facing camera if you were thinking about starting your business any sort of app you need um Evernote Trello Google Docs Google Drive anything you need is on here you even have stuff like canva design apps uh photography apps anything you need to start your business anything you need to start your personal brand this is all on here so you know I want to give that person that you know maybe maybe hasn't had the chance in the past and that's not necessarily their fault um maybe they come from Bad circumstances I want to give you the chance to as I said make 27 year year uh
47:12 20 2017 your year because so many people talk about it not too many people execute on it so um as I said I'm really really happy that I can give back like this now once I've woken up I've gone to the gym steam room sauna and I come back home I meditate then I read like 30 pages to 50 pages of a book depending on um whatever it takes to read a book a week that week so as I said I've gone to the gym meditated read then from the notes I've written last night I look at what I have to do which is on Evernote I use Evernote as my to-do list I use the Calendar app to see you know the week ahead and the weeks ahead and then I use a system called Trello which um sort of is like a more precise to-do list um a more long term so I have like my client
47:58 work my personal brand SL business work um and I just have different sub subcategories videos to edit um sales funnels to create like potential clients and you know six steps along like how close I am to sealing the deal with them so after waking up at around 8:00 I'll be at this desk at around 10:30 ready to work and after I have a quick shower that's precisely what I'm going to do so I think uh I'll talk to you guys in a little bit I'm just I just have plans to change the game and even you look at my client base I've just signed a couple companies furo systems zebra fuel a couple others that are like right at the um we just have to I have to sign over the contract they have to sign it and they'll start next month as well so like
48:43 I just have so many clients that I'm I'm so excited and interested in and I'll go the extra mile for them cuz they reflect me as a person things are just like going at a crazy rate that I never would have imagined I think I dropped out of school around like 8 weeks ago like 2 months ago maybe like 10 weeks ago honestly it has not been long and ever since then I think it's just been the best decision I've ever decided to make for me personally that is because it's just giving me so much time and so much leverage to go out and build up this business also it is scary as hell look I mean guys I'm 17 years old I've just hired my first employee my second employee is coming on board in August like I'm 17 years old and by by the end of this year I'm I'm running a sixf
49:29 figure business and I never would have imagined if you told me that even like two 3 months ago I would have thought you were ridiculous I mean I have high Ambitions but a sixf figure business that's pretty ridiculous um well I mean literally a year ago I was in uh I was in a mfie Coast Italy with my ex-girlfriend and her family and I remember I remember the plane ticket was like 100 pound or something like that and um her family literally had to pay for it because broke as [ __ ] yeah um I mean obviously Two Dads who just kind of stepped out of my life entirely um my mom single mom unemployed just bless her she's she's done everything she's she
50:15 could for me and she's all put her opportunity in front of me but so guys it is 4:30 right now and I'm done with my work day 6:30 to 4:30 I'm sure I must have come off as very bored and tedious and menial and that's exactly what it is let me take you back exactly a year ago I was actually sitting in the room right behind me with my mom and I made her the promise that I would take her to Paris now I had absolutely no idea how the [ __ ] I was going to do that a year ago I was dead broke as a person I was valuable and I knew that but I didn't know how to make money I didn't know how to monetize anything so I I had not a penny to my name so when I made this promise to her it wasn't so much a promise it was more an aspiration or a dream and fast forward a year here we
51:03 are and I get to make good on my promise a lot of you guys saw the three ways to make 100,000 from your computer in 2017 well that was very long uh ebook that I put out there and that is a funnel for my own personal brand because I want to get into coaching I want to come out with some courses and you know now that I know I can do it myself now that I've built a successful business and I've found other ways to make really good income online I want to share that with you guys so anyways so by doing all these coaching calls I'm kind of leaving a lot of money on the table but honestly after the first one seeing like the spark in someone's eyes when they realize how much something like this can change their life and their family's life it kind of brought me back to my journey over this last year where I've started to take all this stuff really
51:48 really seriously and how much I've been able to improve my life and the lives of everyone around me and it just it clicked to me that I need to continue with all this coaching I need to continue bringing students on because look if it can change my life and I say this a lot on here and I don't think you guys believe me I really do have a tough time grasping onto Concepts I'm not naturally very clever I've just sought out really good mentors coaches I spent countless on courses and books and humbled myself by being a student for so long so if I can do it trust me you guys are probably four times as smart as I am so really that's why I'm looking to come out with a course pretty soon because at that point I can help unlimited amount of people and yes it might be 2 to three months of hard work actually creating an amazing product to that point I can Market it and it's somewhat of passive income really those are the three main
52:33 ones and keep in mind I'm 17 years old there's things for example like real estate that I can't yet get into now to give you guys an example in August so this month I've actually lost around 40% of total revenue from my marketing agency and look some of that lost Revenue wasn't in my control but some of it was and some of it was because I got so numb to what brought me to success in the first place which is constantly being a student constantly keeping my ego intact not staying comfortable constantly learning and as I say keeping myself as a student that that is what brought me success in the first place but the problem with Comfort is it breeds complacency because as I said when you think you have everything that you need even want then you've hit the glass ceiling there's nowhere left to go I control what clients I take on from my
53:19 marketing agency I take on what companies I decide to take a percentage in I in full control and I know that if I don't make 300K next year it's cuz I [ __ ] up personally so once again I like to be super transparent with you guys my goal for next year is 300,000 I think that's roughly 375k in uh in dollars and I am rest assured that I am in the right Financial vehicle to get there between obviously my personal brand which I'm focusing on a lot right now between my social media marketing agency affiliate marketing as well as I have equity in some companies I do their marketing in return I have a percentage between all these vehicles I I'm pretty confident that I'm going to get there next month I have another huge product launch one of my clients I'm doing their digital marketing for their indigogo campaign and I get a percentage
54:05 of the revenue FM H we're looking to do conservatively 200 to 300,000 I'm aiming for 500,000 so half a million so that's going to be a 4 to 6 week campaign and once again I'm going to need to give my all for that this time it's not a course launch for my personal brand there are people relying on me and I have to execute everyone keeps saying dude you look exhausted and if I'm honest I am I am working myself to death but that is okay because I know that things come in cycles and that's how I like to go about things you know I like to go through cyclical periods where you're giving your all one week or one month or one quarter and then you can go through downtime so okay so I go I need £10,000 basically and I need to get £10,000 and I need that either lump sum in deposit
54:51 or written contract right binding written contract so I go all right what's my time for to do this cuz you need a time frame for these goals I go okay if I can do it in the next 8 weeks then I'm going to drop out and I did it in 2 and 1/2 roughly in 2 and 1/2 I signed 32,000 a month pound in retainers binding contract um and those contracts all those contracts were for 3 months so if you average it out the last month lost it made roughly 2,500 lb so that is uh that was my thinking behind how to drop out of high school one of those things was actually going to Amsterdam um for a little like project now I think I made overall from that trip maybe 800 lb uh and I had still had to pay for my flights and stuff like that um but it
55:37 was such a proud moment in my life and plus 800 lb literally even in this was February was still good money to me uh so it was such a proud moment in my life and I remember I sat on the plane back from Amsterdam to London I looked out the window I had a window seat uh I looked out the window and I'm like dude this is the most proud moment of my life you know I I traveled I made money from it I did what I loved and you know I'm like how do I how do I do this how do I make my life this uh and yeah you know my friends would call me up and be like Yo dude you want to go to the movies and i' check my pockets and go I don't I don't even think I have enough to pay for the bus to get to the movies let alone the movies um sort of my leads and my sales for influencer IGN
56:24 for my digital products for my coaching they come for my personal brand and I have to actively maintain my personal brand I have to constantly make sure that I'm providing you guys with tons of value so that you go okay if this guy's providing this much amount this this amount of value for free like I don't even want to start to think about what the paid stuff looks like um it's good by the way um um you know people literally watch me like nearly kill myself to create the course that I did and go into that level of detail and that level of value um you know that was so much work but now it's passive income you know I wake up I get stripe payments on my phone of people who have bought the courts you know I I make $1,000 last week I remember I made $4,000 in one day from Court sales um you know for some people that's tiny for me I was happy
57:10 about that um you know and that's passive income but nonetheless I had a I didn't do this weekend still made money I always make money I woke up this morning I made money um so passive income for the people that actually know how to do it right um it's it's a godsend that means you know it's created all these like digital Nomads where like you know you can travel anywhere in the world run your business from your computer um so it's amazing so the people that are actually doing it and creating that for themselves well they're actually winning and they're having a lot of fun but one thing that I wrote down which was quite interesting is I actually wrote down that my ideal lifestyle would cost me like I'm talking like Financial abundance here would cost me look like let me pull this up I'm trying to do this one-handed um roughly
57:56 okay so it cost me £8,500 lb I don't know how well you can see that uh £18,500 lb is how much like my ideal ideal like Financial Freedom Financial abundance would cost me um and I wrote that 6 months ago and I thought hey [ __ ] like in two three years I'll get there and uh I made this actually much more than this last month so 6 months later um and that's kind of an amazing feeling you have zero ex dude I I could have been [ __ ] born in the middle of no I could have been born in Mongolia you think I would have had a chance funny enough I was pretty much close near I was born in like near like it's it's aeran Kazakhstan like I'm from the south of Russia like I was born in a village in a village and I don't know I
58:42 still to this day I don't know how my mom managed to get me out of there you know and my mom managed to get me out of there and you know we may not have had any money but at least I had the opportunity you know how cool that is you know so you know your parents may have you know your parents may have not you may not have that much money or you know maybe some of your parents have done things that are really fed up you know I know how that feels like um you know maybe your uh maybe your mom hasn't been there for the way in the way that you wanted her to or like me my mom is just the biggest angel in the world my just my literally my hero but you know maybe you have a dad who is just done unexplainable things you know and at the end of the day like I think that just makes you so much stronger as a person and I think when you do get
59:27 better when you when you get past that bitterness and you get [Music] better it's it's it's the proudest moment of your life who cares if I went through years of hell and torture to get here I have the pride of going this is my anything in here anything I own is mine and it's always been mine and I remember all of my friends would have Canada Goose and I wanted a Canada Goose so bad but I couldn't afford it cuz I I I had no money I had no money my my mom had no money we broke like struggling to pay the smallest things let alone $1,000 jacket and like to me to see like from it's just little things like this just for me to see like from there to now the fact that in my opinion this all came
1:00:13 about because I went you can get bitter you can get bitter I've never actually shown you like kind of what my house looks like I'll give you like a brief look around this this is my wardrobe um at least some of it yes used to have doors but that broke in a bit of a family incident um this is actually where I went so I guess it's kind of convenient I guess I have another mirror out here now one thing about my house it is hasn't been renovated in like 14 15 years so it is quite literally falling apart and obviously me and my mom never had any money to fix things um so we just kind of dealt with it up to once
1:01:00 again that's my shower broken the shower had that was a long time ago everything in here is pretty much broke um yeah this is my it's my uh bathroom as you can see just like everything in this house on another level is broken um yeah basically in general I would uh I not call my house a nice place to live uh but then again at least I have a roof over my head you know like I made N I had a big sale as you guys know around like 10 days ago um now we're at like 98 influencer ignited students uh overall for my personal brand I've made over anywhere from 90 to $100,000 I still need to tally up in the
1:01:47 last 80 to 90 days you know so like in the last 3 months I've I've literally made roughly $100,000 for my personal brand which is crazy crazy so as you just saw 20177 was the most transformative year of my life but I knew that it could be taken away from me I had done enough reading I had enough of these virtual mentors from YouTube to know that people get success they get complacent and then it gets taken away from them so I knew that I had to double down I knew that what I accomplished at the age of 17 was incredible but in the grand scheme of things it wasn't and I needed to focus in 2018 on making it permanent you see in life once you lock in certain skills and certain wisdom certain life lessons it's impossible to go backwards and that is why I knew that I needed to go even bigger in 2018 which
1:02:33 is exactly what [Music] happened I've to get to this point today I've worked so hard I have worked so hard and my journey you know I talk about how I went from you know first month of of 2017 $1,200 to the last month 50 ,000 that wasn't a one-year Journey that was a 3 foure journey and that you know that three-year Journey started you know you know that Journey started 3 four years ago where I picked up a book you know things like uh you know one of the books that changed my life was a Rich Dad Poor Dad you know I read that book and I'm like [ __ ] I you know I I have to rethink everything here
1:03:21 and I picked up that book and I started reading and I started reading more and more books and I gone to personal development and it's been 3 four years of me doing this it hasn't been a year where things just completely shooted up okay so um so when I say that I'm really not doing this for the money probably part of me is bullshitting and still tricking myself every single day because you know you like to believe your own truth but the reason why I got into this Niche for the first place is because it's the reason that you know my mom doesn't have to worry about money anymore it's the reason that she's taken care of it's the reason that when someone's birthday comes up I don't get stressed that I don't have any money to buy them a gift when my best friend's birthday comes up you know I don't I don't think about what can I sell to buy
1:04:08 them a gift I don't think about could I give them something used from my house I just I felt so helpless cuz I'm like you know if I don't take care of my family even though it's just me and my mom no one is you know and to this day that's the case let me tell you guys a story and I was probably around 15 going on 16 at this point and look I'm sure a lot of you guys have gone through the same thing I remember just day after day walking downstairs and seeing my mom just clip coupons and you know it's not I never had I never had things terrible I was never homeless but I also didn't have much growing up and I like basically you
1:04:54 know it talk about like dropping out of high school if I had gone to college I would have been like on another level [ __ ] because I I did I have you know I've never had a father in my life who's properly supported me you know my real dad was a alcoholic abusive runaway you know never met him my stepdad literally just gave up on me uh and gave up on me and my mom uh and you know my mom just she just did the best that she could for me but you know I just remember day after day coming downstairs and just seeing my mom clip those coupons and I just remember thinking like no like this is not this is not going to be my life this is not going to be our life the thing that went through my mind but funny
1:05:39 enough when I got that $330,000 fake cash that same month was the first month when I made $30,000 and then I went on to make $4 $50,000 last month and this month we are I think we're 15 days exactly through the month and I'm on 30,000 right now so let's hope we hit 60 plus th000 this month uh yeah we are on F Focus 29,400 29 29,500 which basically 30,000 and we're halfway through the month so your inner reality I'm telling you it manifests whatever it may be you know diversify your income streams me personally I've got my social media marketing agency then I've got my personal brand then then I've got affiliate marketing um and yeah that's me uh that's kind of me sorted and you know if one month one of them dip
1:06:26 it's not really an issue you know I think um what's sort of like the agold saying isn't it like the average millionaire has I think like eight income streams uh and it's really important it's really really important just to diversify your income streams I one stage of my life where I'm just like I am so grateful that I didn't follow rules I'm so grateful that when everyone else told me to go this way I went that way you know because if I went that way I would have had what everyone else has which is just a life and once again ethic any anything could honestly happen but this year looks like I'm on track to make a million right uh last month was $50,000 of profit you know at the time of recording this I'm only halfway through the month and I
1:07:11 think it's going to be anywhere from 75 to 100,000 I I honestly don't know that's want to Prelude by saying I've had days where I've made $35,000 um literally in the space of 24 hours actually a bit more than that uh and I've had days where I've made zero and I've had weeks where I've made zero so I've experienced it right I've been through it and I just want um to the other person or or the relationship in of itself I have no as I said I have no money I have no mentors no father figures I have no one to look to no one to turn to and um that I would say that was the reason I am here today because I had to look at myself top to bottom and go look who are you as a man right now even though I was only 16 at the time and and who do you want to become as a man and two years later now at 18 um you
1:07:58 know I'd say I've gone ahead and I've pretty much done that you know uh I look at who I am now and I'm I'm pretty proud um so that's one one instance I'll show you this because this is like you know everyone says I had a vision and I had a dream I [ __ ] wrote the thing down and it happened and I want to show you exactly what happened here right so I put Financial Security rent 2,000 utilities 500 transport 500 food 500 50 uh and like Insurance bills utilities
