Probably a reason there's a message/like ratio like this....

There are a lot of people like you who are experts at telling other people how to make millions. My guess is you don't practice what you preach.

The chance of people at this forum making it are well above average as we are all interested in the pursuit of self betterment.

Who the F*ck are you to tell people what they are capable of?

If you plan to make any more videos, first drop the condescending attitude and second find a microphone that doesn't buzz all the time. I don't suspect you're going to find an audience for your angry rambling rant. I listened to the first minute and then fast forwarded it to the end to see if the content got any better and it never did.

Recordings like this have to either entertain or inform in order for anybody to care. Yours did neither.

Sounds like this video is from another pretender.

I'll tell you what I wont do with my life: I won't watch a video that helps someone who is a fake.

Good luck.

Sure, cram your head with a negative bullshit and expect positive results. That's a solid indication of stupidity.

Here's the reality, folks. If you've made your way to this forum, there's a better than average chance that you can break the script. There are success stories birthed here every day. Read the millionaire fast lane and unscripted if you haven't already, and then spend some time looking through the gold threads here.

You can make it. Your past doesn't have to be your future. Your present circumstances don't dictate your ending.

Hopefully you didn't spend more than a minute or two with the original post. Discard it in the same pile that you discard anybody that tells you what you can or can't achieve.

Shortly before I came to the forum I was over $1 million in debt. I'm now financially free. You can do the same thing.

I think the original posters heart was in the right place, but the message was empty from somebody who hasn't experienced enough of life to know that kicking people in the balls isn't a way to help them. His type of message would resonate better on a dominatrix forum then it would on a business forum.

A video with one improperly sized picture and you talking over it into a crappy mic...

Really? Your channel sucks.

I see why you named it Lazy Tycoon.

Look at Casey Neistat, FunWithLouis, VitalyzdTV, or any other popular YouTuber to see the quality you're gonna need to make it on YouTube. I don't really see your videos getting double digit views longer than a minute with your current quality.

OK, ok.. I actually watched the whole thing. I was waiting for the punchline or something. It couldn't really be that bad right?

This was not value for the time I will never get back, but I decided to learn something from this.

  1. Cut your losses early
  2. Mic makes a huge difference in quality
  3. Prepare a script so as to not ramble worthlessly
  4. Not everything video is a winner
  5. I probably don't have the right voice for video as I think I might sound like this guy. God help me.
    1. OK voice doesn't matter if the message is valuable!
  6. Keep trying and face the hard things in life and don't let anyone beat you down... including me

But wow.. just wow. I still have to believe this was for humor.

There's tons of people who come here making shitty "motivational" content, but most of them haven't been on the forum for six years, and most of them aren't old enough to have hair on their chest, let alone gray hair in their beard.

Also, if you're going to create content that's a thematic ripoff of MJ's, at list give credit where credit is due.

FY: I only listened to the first 90 seconds, but isn't he right?

Most people are too lazy and don't want to work. Video games and the latest flavor TV is more important.

Most of you will never make it...

Life is about manipulating probabilities...

The chances of you "making it" if you're an average random Joe: < 1%
The chances of you "making it" if you're at the forum several times a week and live the philosophies: 42%.

Technically, "most of you will never make" it is technically correct.

A fat guy walks into a weight watchers meeting, calls them all a bunch of fat F*cks, and muses that most of them will binge eat at some point. Technically, he was right.
  • The people were at weight watchers taking intentional steps towards self betterment
  • The agitator is no different than his audience. The fact that he is self realized doesn't make him any different, or any better, than the people at the meeting
  • He thought that "tough love" was by belittling them and diminishing their goals
Just because something is conceptually accurate in certain circumstances doesn't mean it needs to be said. You don't walk into an AA meeting and call them a bunch of hopeless drunks when their goal is sobriety. You don't walk into a halfway house and tell them they'll likely all go back to prison when they just broke free. And there's no need to walk in here and post a stupid as shit video to people telling them they're pieces of shit who will never amount to anything.

This place provides hope to the hopeless, food to the hungry, and inspiration to the scripted.

I actually like this statistic (besides the general nerd like of the number 42) as I bank on numbers like these.

If success were common then we would all be average and therefore a new bar of success would be created. We cannot all be a success. However 42%? I like those odds. I better visit the forum more often.

Also, come on.. I at least watched (really listened) the whole video. More than just the first 90 seconds.

Guess it's a perception difference, my 1st impression was that his title was in reference to the video title, not speaking directly to us. I thought he was speaking to a general class of wantrepreneurs, none of which are here, and none of which are doing anything to improve their odds.

If the title had said "Most of you at Fastlane will never make it. Sad!" (sounds like a Trump tweet, lol) I would have joined in on the "f*ck you" parade.

Again, I only listened to the first 90 seconds as I thought it was more put-down (not inspirational) vs tough love and moving.

Eric Thomas addresses students with a delivery like: "most of you aren't going to be successful because when you're studying and you get tired, you quit!" It can get you pumped up if you feel you've slipped into laziness.

I see MJ's point, and I honestly don't think dude was trying to attack the people here, I think he was going for something a little more motivational, which can be useful at times. But dude totally missed the mark here.

Don't get me wrong though, I didn't like this video at all.

He clearly doesn't understand the audience here. Many (can't say exactly how many) people on this forum have built a successful business or are building one and making great progress. Okay people, how many of you have had a parent, relative, or friend talk shit and call you lazy or stupid because you would rather spend your time building a business then pursuing higher education or furthering yourself in a career? This video strikes the same nerve when people who know F*ck all about you and are arrogant enough to think they have you figured out try and give you advice from their warped abortion of a perspective.

So word up, many of us are actively working towards something and don't need to be told we're lazy and just want to watch TV.

Also, can we just collectively agree as a species to stop throwing around terms like "success" and "be successful" as if they mean the same thing for everyone? I see enough of this pretentious, pseudo-motivational shit on facebook, that goes like:

"IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT ANYONE SAYS, YOU CAN BE SUCCESSFUL <3"

Oh yeah? Why don't you make yourself successful at choking on broken glass.

Now getting back to what I said about many of us already having success (I'm using this term because I think implied meaning is very obvious), I've never seen @Brander here, I have no idea what you do or what makes you an expert. I imagine many of the OG's here feel you're offering nothing valuable. To put it simply, you have no credibility, and by reading the comments, i don't think my far off.

I probably sound mean here, I'm not trying to be. But if you wanna make valuable posts, you gotta step your game up.

(sounds like a Trump tweet, lol)
I thought the exact same thing:rofl:

Most people making/sharing these "motivational" quotes have absolutely nothing figured out in life. Some may post them for a good cause but they don't realize that, without a goal, a meaning and with all the vagueness around the term "successful", those words are empty and help absolutely no one.

As for the video, I only listened to it for a couple minutes until I got tired of the horrible audio. Why do so many people think: Wanting to become RICH = Wanting to waste the rest of your life away without working? If this was an attempt at being motivational then pick something more "original", I got tired of hearing this over and over.
