Well, on a very basic level, he's not wrong . Find a way to provide value (the $10) and then find a way to duplicate it and replicate it so that it's not tied to your time (thru systems).

I see your point and I've always considered you a rational and logical thinker. We can pick at each other's arguments for days I'm sure, and yet from what I know about you and your values, we're much alike. And there's no drama between you and me.
Where are you in Europe that's in full lockdown?

There are so many things wrong with this its hard to know where to start.

It's the value skew in "Show Biz". Their "talent" is overpaid at an extremely high level. Once celebrities get to certain levels the scaling is not as necessary: letterman making 22 million a year at end if career. And scaling is dead simple...ok Nike or Skip the Dishes I will take x million to promote you. Or hey I have an idea for a product. Someone are it and I will put my name on it and sell it. DOn't get me Wrong - they work hard and are.good at what they do. Steve Harvey is at best a B level comic, a slightly above average Game Show host and a wannabe philosopher. He "lectures" people between shows...people who have paid to actually watch a lame game show being filmed.
The worst advice EVER to get to a million would be something like playing the lottery, crime/robbery or climbing the corporate ladder - not this. Literally.
I finally watched this whole video and actually, the advice is perfect and it’s exactly how every millionaire I know got where they are.

No, "we" can't say the same. There is no "we." Just triggered you, and silly me.It's pretty obvious that's not what he said, and he even emphasized on "Take what you did for that $100 and do it 10 more times. You now have $1000".
Breaking down a big goal into smaller chunks, such as making one million dollars, is an important step that we've all taken to help ourselves understand and plan appropriately on how to achieve said goal.
Laugh at him, mock him, the guy still has a net worth of $200M. If he wanted to, he needn't work a day more in his life, and neither would his kids, grandkids, and great-grandkids.
Could we say the same?
Clearly no one should be taking notes from his little chat. Despite the muddiness and fact that this clearly isn't how he made millions, I think he's trying to say:
There are so many things wrong with this its hard to know where to start.
I see it slightly differently. Yes, the advice that was made on this video is totally valid. It just a different mindset from the way that many believe it should be. He's saying that success is a long hard-won road. It's finding a small, working idea that is reliably profitable. Then systematically and deliberately growing that baby idea over time. There nothing instant nor sexy about the process. He's NOT talking about a 5-hour workweek -- where the owner travels the world and checks in every few days when the spirit moves him. He's talking about making a simplistic, balls-out, all-engaging work plan. Then working that plan like a dog for as long as it takes to reach that all-important goal. I believe that we call this type of plan Capitalism.For a forum full of wolves, it's funny how many people have a sheep mentality here.
A bunch of people instantly agreed with Fox, some probably without even watching the video OR attempting to understand Steve Harvey's advice, just because it was posted by a reputable source.
If MJ were to do the same, the effect would be 10x this.
But when I first pointed out that it's legitimate advice, I had the guy cosplaying Lucifer and Fox (later deleted) mock my comments, because apparently their sole intention was to just laugh at someone way more successful than us rather than extract the value in his sayings.

I think it is terrible advice. I just deleted the post cause I didn't want to get in another online argument.
Full lockdown mode here and doing my best to avoid any drama.
Why it is terrible advice:
To someone who doesn't know what we know it sounds like you just keep doing the same thing over and over.
You are saying hiring staff, scale etc - he isn't though. He is saying do it 10 times, then do that 10 times (100), then do that ten times (1,000) and so on - it is an approach that half your life is gone and you are still working like a dog.
You can't take his advice and fill in the gaps for him and then say it is solid - cause 99% of people won't.
When you take it at face value it is literally terrible advice that would never work. Adding in little bits that do make it work doesn't change what he said.
And that he is rich himself doesn't make it any less terrible - his advice (as he is saying it word for word) sucks.
Anyway it would be nice if he added in some parts about building a team, building systems, leveraging marketing and so on. I am sure he knows how that works - but he didn't. And I actually really like some of his other videos.
But ya there is your answer. No one is a sheep - the advice just sucks.

Have a really bad a$$ mustache.

Ya same - thanks.
I am in Poland. At the start of things they had a normal balanced approached but it has gotten way worse the last 6 months. No gyms, cinemas, restaurants, sports, activities etc are open and masks everywhere.
During this time I am very much trying to avoid arguing online ha!
@MTF has been monitoring me to make sure I stay on track
Thanks @Simon Angel and hope you are well also!
OK. My point exactly. That's the dichotomy of many people's current thinking. It's not right or wrong -- just a point of view. I hope it all works out for you. But, it is a point to ponder...Oh, I can agree with that. I'd rather make 10x less but retain my freedom than be a slave to my business.
No, "we" can't say the same. There is no "we." Just triggered you, and silly me.
It is still terrible advice.
At "one task an hour" and zero inflation/cost of living/business costs/staff/set backs...
$10 x 40 hour work week = $400
$400 x 50 weeks a year= 20k/yr
To reach a million 25 years
Lets say you could do 3 tasks an hour though and work 10 hours a day
$30 x 10 hours a day = $300
$300 x 5 days a week = $1500
$1500 x 50 weeks = $75k/year
To reach a million $13.3 years
Of course over 13-25 years you would have had multiple nervous breakdowns from working like a dog, inflation would have hit, you would have had to pay taxes, and so on.
Using this method you would never reach a million without making it something not even worth doing.
This is the most slowlane advice I have ever seen recommended anywhere.
