When I was a kid my parents would literally not eat because we didn’t have enough
money for food. Then through my dad’s hard work, we moved to the UK and became
middle class. Fast forward to 2020, I discovered entrepreneurship, started a business,
and became a millionaire and retired my family. Life’s pretty awesome now.

Here’s the real stuff that actually transformed my life. This is wisdom you won’t get
from your teachers or maybe even your parents. Why? Because they were “deferrers.”
They sacrificed their present for some mythical future. They worked jobs they didn’t
like hoping to enjoy life after 55.

But we’re the New Rich.

We design our lives now. We don’t wait. We use leverage like online businesses,
content creation, digital products, to build wealth while living our dream life. And the
book that changed everything for me? The 4-Hour Workweek by Tim Ferriss. I’ve read
it 15 times. It’s basically the Bible if your goal is freedom.

Here’s the first big lesson: Be careful who you take advice from.

If your parents are giving you financial advice, understand that it’s based on their
values, not yours. They think retirement at 55 is the goal. That’s their story. Ours is
different. Our story is retiring in our 20s. Living free. Building something meaningful.
So don’t follow people who’ve never lived the life you want. Take advice from people
who have.

Now, here’s a question for you: Who’s richer?

Guy A: makes $100k/year working 80 hours a week in finance.

Normies would say Guy A. But we’re not like these people. We know that the guy who
controls his time has leverage. He can scale his business. He can double, triple, 10x
his income. He’s got time to learn, improve, create systems. Guy A is just a cog in a
machine. He’s stuck. Guy B is free, and that freedom is worth more than any
paycheck.

That’s the life I live now. I work 2 hours a day doing something I genuinely love:
making YouTube videos, mentoring my students, helping thousands of my followers.
And every day, 5 to 10 young men come up to me saying I changed their life. That’s the
dream. And it started because I chose a business model that felt fun to me.

That’s another major key: Don’t defer your passion.

Everyone’s got this idea in their head: “I’ll do the boring business first to make money,
and then I’ll pursue my passion later.” No. Do it now. If you choose work you don’t
enjoy, you’ll build a life you don’t enjoy. But if you start with the thing you want to do,
even when you’re broke, you’ll eventually get rich from it because you’ll outwork
everyone. Why? Because it doesn’t even feel like work.

When I started YouTube, I was broke. I moved back into my abusive childhood home. I
didn’t have money. The government gave me about $200 a month in welfare. I was in
monk mode. But I loved the work. I loved making videos. And that’s why I succeeded.
Because it wasn’t just a grind. It was meaningful. And when the work is meaningful,
you become unstoppable.

It’s not just about money. It’s about lifestyle design.

Your day-to-day life should feel like a dream. That’s your advantage. Most guys are
waiting for life to start after they make it. I lived the life I wanted before I made it. I’d
wake up, work a bit, go to the gym for hours, socialize, relax, and then sleep. And it’s
the same now. I didn’t wait. I didn’t defer. That gave me consistency. And consistency
leads to domination.

Here’s what you need to do: Design your dream day and start living it now.

Even if you can’t afford the fancy apartment or the big car yet, start living the
structure:

What time would you wake up?

Start doing as much of that as you can now. It will make you more productive and
happier, and that will lead to more success.

And the final big thing: Choose the right vehicle.

It’s not who you know, it's who you blow. Nah just jk lol.

It’s what you work on. The single most important decision is your business model.
Most guys are choosing business models that make their lives worse like
dropshipping, NFTs, agencies. I see them all the time. Burnt out. Working late. Making
okay money but hating the process.

The best vehicle, the one I recommend, is being an educational content creator.
Make YouTube videos. Teach people. Share what you’ve learned. Build an audience.
Sell them a course or coaching. That’s the highest-leverage business model in the
modern day. It’s what I do. It’s what every successful influencer does. We teach. We
create. We help. And we get rich doing it.

And the best part? It’s purposeful. You’re helping society. You’re changing lives. You’re
not just chasing profit. You’re doing meaningful work and getting paid. That’s why I
keep doing it even though I don’t really need the money anymore. I just love it.

So here’s your one goal right now: increase your income.

Forget about saving money. Forget about investing. Forget about trying to optimize
your expenses. Just focus on increasing income. Get to $10k/month in business.
That’s the milestone that changes your life. And the way to get there is to obsess over
your work.

Join my Educational Content Creators program and learn directly from me. I have
hundreds of students already, many who’ve made thousands of dollars already.

You don’t need a better laptop.

You don’t need a new camera.

You don’t need to stay in your job for another few weeks to save up.

You just need to put in more hours into the business.

More days of deep, focused work.

Fewer degenerate days.

That’s the real unlock.

You’re not behind. You’re not too late. But you do need to stop wasting time.

Let’s get to work.
