Ur a solid dude man. The social media world needs more people like you

I really respect you taking the time to make this kind of content. Maintaining high quality standards, and building a community or joining a community is such an important part of the recipe

Nat, Tommy, and Steve.. Thank you for staying genuine. You guys embody rare qualities... Videos like this are what set you apart from everyone else!

This is probably the most informative video I've ever watched. A real guide on how to start the process and what you're going to need before you even begin selling that no one ever touches on. Most people just speak words and give the usual spiel on the "grind" mindset you have to create, and not a true process. This will definitely help a lot of people including myself, thank you Steve.

From Driving your super cars and hypers and letting fans view and enjoy the fleet...to paving the way, on being able to be financially able to own one. love the content from A to Z. Great job keep it up guys! yall have a good team together!

Your energy and positivity says a lot about you. Great video.

The worlds really need more people like Steve!

Steve just seems like such a down to Earth human. Glad I found this channel and will continue to follow. Great information all around!

Steve is just honestly amazing giving back to the community and the fact he lets strangers experience million dollars worth of guys if anything this is level of success that would make me happy especially because of my love for cars amazing guy fr

This is such an awesome video and great advice! Father Steve always coming in clutch!!🔥🤝🏼

Love this video happy you guys made this video. Thanks to you also Steve for being truthful with everyone and humble. Can really tell you aren’t one of those stuck up rich people that thinks they are better or to good to help other people succeed.

Awesome job Steve! You guys & girls do a fantastic job, have a wonderful KZread Channel and a Magnificent Car Collection! It's great that all proceeds from "The Hamilton Collection," are given to Charities. Stay strong and stay healthy Team!

Great video! Tons of actionable advice. I tried the drop shipping model 8 years ago. It’s a dog fight just to get anything out of it with single digit margins. I transitioned to importing/creating my own branded wheels and now I’ve moved on to crafting my own USA made wheels in house. Everything you said here really resonated with me and my brand.

Great info! I started an ebike business just over a year ago after I built my first ebike on YT back in 2015. I was able to start monetizing at the time but when YT changed the requirements on watch time hours etc... that hurt because it shut me down and I lost monetization. I did make enough to buy a new go pro which was great after 3 years of monetization. I read about how the boom is coming for e-bikes that's why I started the business. I have been awarded a prime contract for the state and love helping them, but they are only buying a few a year. I'm keeping the business open just because I enjoy supporting their efforts and it helps me feel like I belong to the team. Recovering from a work injury last May so my business efforts are limited currently but on the up and up :)

Stev is so knowledgeable I love listening to him and learning even just one thing new

Hey Steve, I stumbled across our channel only recently and have been glued to it ever since. I am an aspiring entrepreneur and have created multiple businesses that haven't quite lifted off the ground. I started with videography and media, then ventured into designing my own automatic watches (automotive themed), then some drop shipping, and now I have a POD Etsy store that has turned a little bit of profit. But I am not 100% behind my current ventures and now I am at a crossroads of where I want to go with my entrepreneur journey. I have a MAJOR custom wheel obsession. I have helped numerous friends and family pick out the right aftermarket wheels and every single person has been overly satisfied. I love wheels and the aftermarket scene that surrounds them. I have gone through dozens of wheels on my personal vehicles and learned a ton about fitment and style and the differences between styles and brands. I want to start my own wheel company or company that is based around the aftermarket wheel game. My first thought was lugnuts and introducing a new version of lugnuts or a specific style that could get affordable titanium lugnuts into the hands of everyday car owners and not just the rich and famous. I want to get my foot in the door somehow or in some way. Even if I need to bring my talents and skills to you then I'm open arms to any suggestions or possibilities. I don't expect you to give me a job or tell me the exact path to take. You seem like the PERFECT mentor for someone like me who is trying to make something from nothing in this industry. I appreciate your time if you read this and will never stop watching your content as it speaks to my heart anytime I click play. Keep up the content and thank you for everything.

Thank you sooo much for this advice! Love the channel and the way you do business!!!

Thanks for the great advice Steve . Your a true legend .. take care everyone 💜

The energy, motivation and real talk. Thank you!!

Your humbleness is extraordinary that’s what keeps you blessed great Man U are sending peace and blessings from the UK 🤜🏾💯‼️

Thanks for the tips, looking to start my own company and this definitely helps ❤️💯

I don’t typically comment on videos, but I wanted to say thank you for making this one. A lot of great entrepreneurial advice

Super true. Just got out of the army and jumped into the pool industry here in AZ and the first 2mo I got a 13% raise because I simply asked my boss. Great video, appreciate it!

What an amazing honest insight into business start up, thank you, from over her in the uk, enjoying your videos immensely keep up the great work guys

OMG you literally took those words out of my mouth, this is exactly the idea i have been trying to explain to my parents. After watching your videos along with other videos and talking to people at car meets I had this idea of an exhaust company about a month ago. I am only 18 and at the beginning of learning about business. It was really cool and inspiring to see someone who's made it as a business owner talk about an idea that I had. My parents are willing to invest in me learning as much as possible. If there's a way I could spend a week or two shadowing you please let me know how we could make this work.

I’ve barely got an hour to myself my guy. But I’d guarantee that if you spent a solid week of your time towards this idea, you could find all the literature and info you need online!

Video jammed packed full of value. Thank you for sharing!! 🔥🔥

Thanks for this type of video, I can’t wait for more content like this and it’s amazing having advice from someone who I admire

Awesome Content! Can’t wait to check out the HQ! Congrats on everything!

We love you Steve! You're truly one of a kind.

You are absolutely correct on certain people taking weeks to make purchases, it takes me about a month to buy rims for any vehicle, I check reviews/prices online and 1 bad review and I’m back to square one in my search

Im from Canada and i started doing drop shipping auto parts for fun when the pandemic hits on 2020, I didn't know that this business model will changed my life :) Anything is possible just believe in yourself and do what you love.

Finally some clearly spoken and up to date information about this subject. This is really awesome

Hey Steve, amazing video! The top 10% really helped me out as I’m 19 and currently working in a Publix deli. I’ve decided I want to make a career of it and soon become a Department manager and one day a manager of a store. I’ve just had trouble taking those step because I’m at a point in my life we’re there’s a lot of change coming up. Soon I’m going to have to be moving as I’m transferring from community college to a university. So I’ve been hesitant to pull the trigger on becoming a full-timer as that’s my next step in order to become a manager. I’ve also recently turned to bodybuilding and would like to compete a few times, so that’s slowed me down a bit. But this was huge to hear that advice you had in the video. It’s got me excited for the future as I’m willing to put the work in to separate myself and build the life I want.

Spectacular advice. Taking notes! Keep up the great work THC!

Thank you for this priceless gift (advice) Kelvin from Ghana 🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭

I just stumbled on this channel (sucker for Bugatti) and I love it, just wanted to say solid advice and attitude that is for me key.. No BS straight to the point. I'm working in marketing a dream for me would be working for a High End brand that not only provides a service it also is a lifestyle. Sadly my clients are not in that bracket (hint) If you're looking to branch out to the EU and need a wacky Dutch marketing guy.. ME ME ME

Hey steve! I just saw your porsche gt3rs at topgolf and i saw you leaving down the road from out bay!! So cool to see your cars. I was also at irongate yesterday and talked to you briefly! Love it man!

Thank you for making this video Steve, especially since I just started my own business in the automotive industry. I am a partner in a company called Indecent which is widebodying watercooled Porsches such as the 997. I hope to meet you in SEMA this year as I am debuting the first US vehicle. Everything you've said has reconfirmed my though process and I've learned some aspects I haven't considered!

Thanks for taking the time to look. I have a service based business that I’m working on expanding. Local marketing seems to be the hardest thing for us because we are so niche. Would love some advice.

I love how I’m in math watch this learning stuff I’ll never use but I’m listening to Steve going okay here’s what I want to go do this love ya Steve thanks for the advice

Super helpful please make more videos like this!

Steve. Such a badass dude ✊✊ Keep it up man I’ll keep watching as long as you post

Rags to Riches is how I found this channel. This is the content I love. The rest is just a super bonus! The most under subscribed channel on the interwebs!

Steve I have had my idea for about 10 years now, I ran it by Rob Dyrdek back when I got out of college and his lawyer tried stealing it. Would love to tell you about it more, and it could 100% fit into your industry and its a great way for the less fortunate to have a platform to get toys, accessories, and much more for a small price! Thanks, hope to hear back!

I love that you are giving this information as a BUSINESS OWNER and not a self employed person who owns a business (aka when the business owns you lol). What you're saying is scalable unlike self employed business owners.

Loved the video, time flys when you having fun. Really captured me thanks for the knowledge

I agree. Customers that aren't constantly communicated with and informed of bad news, good news, and/or no news, are most susceptible to having a bad experience with your business. People draw their own conclusions when they aren't constantly "touched" or notified, and most times their insecurities lead them to the worst case, most unlikely scenario.

Hi Steve, I am no expert but you said that if someone with no capital want to start an exhaust company like you with high quality products, hyper car level........wouldn't it be better to first start with basic car exhausts like of a golf and provide good service as well as quality and build a brand in that area and then once you have a name as an experienced company, you can dive into the hyper car and sports car category because I doubt someone would trust modifying their precious supercar from an inexperienced and amateur entrepreneur no matter how promising it looks, unless you have good contacts in the supercar world... Appreciate your videos and content is always great from you guys, I think where most people struggle is with pushing their ideas without having much capital, that initial take off, particularly outside US, It would be great to hear from you on that topic alone in a video...thanks!!

Steve I truly think this video helped me understand a lot more in-depth on how a business actually operates. I’ve taken an accounting course at my CC and it taught me a whole lot on how the money was being used and where it was allocated to. I’m currently an Economics & Accounting major and hope to pass it as I’ve put over 3 years into it starting all the way back in the early days of HS. Will say CC paid off heavily as it’s free to go for the most part and having a starting point for a degree is wonderful, especially if you want to continue or find an interest at a university. My question for you Steve is: Should I try to build up my capital with the good salary my university claims after I leave or should I already plan on starting up a business? I already thought about investing my money into profitable things (crypto, stock, real estate possibly, etc) but those are incredibly risky ways of making money and in fact feel more like a gamble. I personally think tweaking products that already exist is a very hard thing to do unless you hire a team and what not. I honestly don’t know what’s best and would love to hear your opinion on this as I’d love to become like you one day and own a bunch of awesome cars and potentially an entire collection! Always had such a big passion for cars and don’t know how my life would be without them.

Been watching for a long time. At first, it seemed off. But as he gave his back story, some of the insane stuff became more understandable. Not just that, the dude seems honest and really respectful and inspiring. Its hard to not like the guy, his story and how he uses those assets to benefit the public.

I knew that some of these were part of the same company, and I just recently started following you on KZread, wondered how you came into your money. My mind is blown that you are the guy that started all of this

This’s gold. Extremely honest and unapologetic as well

ive watched 1 minute exactly of this video and already love it. i have a feeling your gonna spit some facts

Thank you guys for this amazing content!!!

good ideas man!!! I’m 20 and in chicago..building an artificial turf business with the highest quality, Along with Christmas Lighting and Dumpster Rentals 💯

What a valuable content. I am currently taking a course ending in December in business start up. Trying to open my japanese fast food restaurant. You are a true inspiration, Steve. I am from Québec Canada, french town, practicing my english at the same time :D Killing two birds with one stone

No questions here.. just a massive massive thanks for a video like this.

Great info from a successful businessman. Thanks

Thanks

Just wanted to say thank you for creating this video instead of trying to sell a course like other influencers and entrepreneurs.

I enjoy all you vlogs, however this one was more personal and exciting to watch. Thank you

Big UK London fan very inspirational Steve and the crew thanks coming to UK London anytime soon

I love that you talk about this 👍🏽

I think this is a great expansion on the Hamilton Collection’s community orientated branding. Seeing the process would be really insightful, in terms of the general processes of bringing a business together - not specifically the product itself. I don’t know if it would be helpful to get into, but maybe going into the specifics of what you’ve (Steve) felt has brought you the furthered in your career. You mentioned your hard work ethic, but I mean more so in terms of just basic administrative skills, and those needed to service your business. Well, I would also like to hear about the soft skills as well. Other than hearing “that’s what she said”, I think your next most spoken words are “thank you” and “I appreciate you… “ - I’m interested in hearing how you’ve grown to Become this, uhm, boss, for lack of a better word 😂 Also, once this is done, maybe the next series along the line could look at taking some of you HC staff through the building process of their own business, like a challenge of who’s learnt the most from Steve 😂, with more constraints that the general public can identify with - like limited capital 😂 But yeah, I appreciate where this is going - it’s pretty great ☺️

Your the goat when it coms to business my guy keep doing what you do best

studying macroeconmics is really helpful when your trying to figure out what business to start.

Just saw this and it came to me as inspirational in a very logical way. Am I starting a business? No.🤣 In a way, I am my own brand and that’s what I’m building, so thanks for giving takeaways even for my situation.❤ much luv from CHI TOWN!!

I remember the whistle tip exhaust videos from early KZread from Oakland 😂😂 "THE WHISTLES GO WOOOOOO" "it's that whoop whooop", "that's like a alarm clock, whoooooop" 🤣🤣

Man is a really great businessman! Thanks for all these advice!

These are the videos we NEED!

This video is an amazing video and gave me a lot of insight that I’ve never been able to figure out .I have a bunch of ideas, soon as I think of one I make a note of it. I just need to figure out how to make the first step and which idea to pick from and invest my time and energy in to. Love ur videos and if u ever have a business class I would spend $250 if I have to just to get that edge up and learn what u didn’t know when u started your company.

Thanks for the content/wisdom! What do you think about lifestyle brands and how do you share your brand's message in the most effective way to your target audience?

I love it! I just tried to buy that domain name and it brought me back to you :)

👍Thank you for this. We’ve watched a few of your videos l. Definitely got a sub from this one. Excited for more content like this.

I appreciate you keeping it real and not bullshitting like everyone saying starting a business is easy or you can do it for free and all the stuff all these gurus say to this generation just to sell them some course.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge, wisdom and experience in light of helping others. Would you be interested in taking an express car wash model nationwide and scaling it to approximately 50 units in less than 10 years? Ebidta would be high and value of the chain would be close to $1 Billion. Strong income along the way, can hold or sell. We have 2 now and have been offered 12 X Ebidta for them. More units, higher cap rate value. Love the fact that you give back so much. Hats off to you!! 🙏🏻

Awesome Steve!

I can’t stress enough to get an accountant involved early on in owning a business. Federal, state, and sales tax can be significant expenses you have to be on top of

Hey there Steve and crew. First off, I’ve seen every one of your videos, love the way you run your companies, love what you guys do for the public, and in that regard I have a very similar mindset. I started up a business earlier this year and have learned a lot since. I have a few other companies/products/services in mind that are ready to start building that will provide a lot of value for customers at a global scale, too. My question for you is; have you ever run into a situation where you’ve spread yourself too thin (regarding how many different businesses you’ve tried to start up/invest in) and what would be the best approach to grow all of them without another one being pushed to the back burner and failing? PS: when my companies take me to new heights, I’m making my way down from Canada to you guys so you, the crew, and the public can drive my rare cars too ❤

Happens all the time. When I do, I take a look at what is most core to the business, and what generates the most stability or cash/sales, and limit my focus to that. I pause any other projects to ensure focus is put where it belongs. Hiring qualified people to take over lower level work absolutely helps, too.

However we could work together, if it be licensing, partnering, developing… I’m up for a good o’l NDA conversation. I believe you’re the team that could actually see these ideas to market and do it well! Hope this is a comment that gets read God Bless

I know it's somewhat counterproductive, but could you start that new product/service series without using your already existing THC or wheel company audience, so it's really a start from scratch as much as possible? Many people leverage their already existing audience which most people don't have. Would be a highly educational series. Keep it up, love the content. :)

Love getting business content from someone who both knows what they are talking about but is also not trying to sell you something! I have a question, I am currently working on starting a business that does contracting in the telecom construction industry. I am on this path because that is where I have skills amd experience that will give me an edge over competition. It is very niche though and while i think can get to a point of making a very good self employed income for myself if I am working on the tools every day, the issue is I dont think I will be able to scale that past running a small crew locally. If I want to achieve much larger success one day, do you think it is still valuble to start and learn about business even if that peticular business may not get you to the end destination you want or should I keep looking for a different opportunity that has more potential to grow?
