It’s true folks, contrary to a lot of the recent pessimism you may have seen around, it’s possible to make a ton of money in your 20s.
But it’s not going to happen if you follow a traditional path. Because guess what, society does NOT want you to get rich. It’s the last thing it wants.
Society survives and thrives off the back of sheep, who stay put in their place, are easy to manipulate and control. So society invests a lot in this — keeping you in a state where you can be easily manipulated and controlled.
And don’t be mistaken about it… society is US — your boss, the guy who wants to start a business with you and so on.
This doesn’t mean they want you to be dumb. No, they want you to be smart and capable… but not too smart, not too capable, because then you’ll be independent.
No employer, no matter what they may tell you, truly wants you to be successful. No — they want you to keep slaving away for them. They want you to use your intelligence, and your energy to build THEIR dream. They don’t want you to build your own dream, that’s a joke. And if you buy into that, you’ll likely end up actually building their dream. And that’s OK if that’s what makes you happy, it’s not a shameful thing, but at least do it consciously, with your eyes open.
As an agency owner and floating around in communities of agency owners, the people who messed up their lives the worst in their 20s are those who got into business relationships where there was a power dynamic that wasn’t in their favor. They ended up slaving away, only to see everything taken away from them when they were at their peak by older, smarter and more cunning people.
Investors and employers are very adept at enslavement — it’s their job description. If your employer tells you they want to start a new business with you, and they want you to go to Australia to open up their new branch — it’s a TRAP. They want to enslave you.
So… how can you get rich and what do I even mean by rich?
I mean making at least $2-5M by the the time you’re 30. You may say wtf, $2-5M isn’t rich!
No, it’s not. But going from broke to making $2M is a huge leap forward. Let me tell you what that sorta money did for me, since I’m now nearing the end of my 20s.
I used to go on holidays where over 10 days I’d spend $30-40K. Just pause and imagine that. I’d spend what many of you make over 1 year in 10 days! The people at the resorts I went to thought I was a Russian mobster. The waiters asked me what my job was.
I also bought a lot of useless shit, bling, and some useful things too, such as 2 apartments worth around $500-600K. Cleared all my debt.
And this is a lot more money than any of your friends taking a traditional path will make. You won’t see them spend $40K on a 10-day vacation LOL! Here’s how they’ll think “we must be careful not to waste too much” (a slave mindset implanted into them by society).
So… what have I learned about making money?
Lesson #1 — Most of you lack peoples skills and will never be successful in a reasonable amount of time at a business that takes people skills, and that includes B2B. Many of you think you’re good at sales… the reality is that you’re not.
Lesson #2 — Most of you who will be reading this aren’t very smart. So please don’t start an app. Please don’t start a course. Please don’t start trading stocks. Please don’t build a marketplace. Don’t build a SaaS. Please don’t do ANYTHING that requires more than 2 neurons. It’s true, there are people who can be successful FAST by doing these things. Hyper intelligent people with >140 IQ. I have a friend who made $50M+ as a day trader. He lives in the Bahamas now and smokes dollar bills for fun. He used to make $10K/day… if he didn’t, he was depressed. Those people are exceptions. So measure your IQ, if it’s below that, please don’t even think about it.
The only exceptions to #1 and #2 is if you really want to be active in one of those industries and you’re OK with taking a little longer to make your wealth (ie, a few years of struggle), OR you have access to a good mentor.
Lesson #3 — OK, you have no people skills and you’re retarded (it’s not an insult, where I come from it doesn’t mean you have a mental handicap, it just means you’re basically a normal dude). So what do you do?
The answer is ecommerce with a physical product. I have never seen a retard build a successful agency. I have never seen a retard make millions trading stocks. I have never seen a retard sign big deals with governments.
But boy, I’ve seen MANY a retard make MILLIONS in eCommerce in 1-2 years, in their 20s too. I can name at least 20 such people.
I have had 4 students who bought one of my ecommerce courses and made millions from it. A few of them (not all) were retards too! I myself in some cases was surprised and excited that they succeeded. To be honest with you, I never believed they’d make it. But they did.
Now this isn’t to say ecommerce is a guaranteed success strategy. It’s not. It will take tons of work. Tons of frustration. Tons of days when you feel like smashing your head with your keyboard. But I see it as the best you’ve got, based on my experience so far, and learning not from just myself, but by being a careful observer of those around me.
In fact, I never started an ecommerce business. It’s my one regret. If God had created me with 30-40 less IQ points, and I didn’t enjoy working with people or stimulating intellectual challenges… oh boy. Ecommerce it would have been!
Think about it… you never talk with anyone (minus talking with suppliers and other providers every now and then), ads are all you need to sell, your job is just to find products with high demand and put them in front of people. Control you can obtain, Entry you can obtain over time, Need, it’s there, Time and Scale are virtually guaranteed by the selling methods - ads! It doesn’t get easier than that folks. It really doesn’t.
Lesson #4 — Marketing is very important in ecommerce. But the product is even more important. The right product will make or break your business. Rememeber how I said that ecommerce is where even retards can succeed? I remember meeting one of my friends who started a biz in the eyeware niche. The F*cker showed me his balance sheet, and I couldn’t believe it. In 3 years he went from 0 to $6M. Running FB ads from his bedroom… he worked in his pijama and had a dumb smile on his face. The poor guy could barely add 2 and 2 together. And now he wanted some help with his Facebook ads. When I opened his Facebook ads account, I was shocked. His ads and everything was shit. I asked him, “sooo… you made $6M revenue last year with these ads” — “Yah” LOL!!!
Lesson #5 — to support yourself, I highly encourage you to freelance. No jobs. I’ll get a lot of hatred for this, but I think jobs are for losers. Freelancing gives you more flexibility and time freedom to work on your business and you can make money faster too. And you shoulder responsibility for yourself. If you can’t get work, you starve.
Lesson #6 - Don’t follow any of the popular philosophies or psychologies available. No stoicism. No buddhism. No CBT. Instead you want to use your negative emotions… use your anger, use your shame, use your frustrations, use your weakness. Everything negative is the best fuel in existence. You don’t need to feel good to be successful — if you feel good you’ll be lazy and comfortable and you won’t achieve fast success.
These are all very controversial lessons. Many forum members will disagree with me. They will see what I say as too extreme, irresponsible, even downright foolish. But if you’re hungry for success, I’m sure you’ll find a helpful hand in some of these lessons, and they will resonate with you.
