Shouldn't the success formula be Skill x hard work x duration x luck (not divided by luck.) If you're luck is less than average it would be .9 or less and if it's above average then 1.1 or higher. Also, successful young you-tubers are good role models; they didn't get to the top by genetics (though a few have that 'Human Golden Retriever' factor, many aren't even decent looking; like MrBeast's gang and Logan Paul's crew.) If you want a top athlete with poor genetics, Jose Canseco overcame scoliosis and juvenile arthritis to become the greatest athlete in the world in 1988 and still a top athlete over a decade later and still occasionally playing independent leagues 17 years after being blacklisted by baseball 13 years before other top steroid players like A-Rod (who nobody even likes, look at the comment on 'The Other Guys.')

That is my biggest take away from this because, seeing all of these hustle mindset videos being imposed consistently can make us anxious, drained, and go down a route of chasing dreams instead of appreciating the moment that we are in now. There is so much to be grateful for. To everyone seeking success, just do your absolute best but don't forget to take care of your mental health; your mind, body, and spirit needs you too.

An unspoken problem is that they’re telling young people that hustling is the best way to make it. But I think what’s required is to actually know who you are so you gift something authentic to the world. Otherwise you’re just competing against all the other hungry folks trying to *take* instead of giving. Most people who made it BIG never thought “I hope to be a millionaire,” they pursued self realization.

I’ve come to notice that as long as the influencer gets a call right just one time then some people will forever look at the influencer as “legit”. It doesn’t even matter how many calls they get wrong because they got one right. The people being influenced can’t fathom the fact that a influencer with a large following will cause a large pump and most times, the people being influenced won’t connect the two. It also comes down to a person’s ego more than anything else because it’s very difficult for most people to be honest with themselves and accept that maybe, just maybe they were duped. “I’m too smart to be duped” attitude is what makes them susceptible to being duped. It’s very refreshing to see some honesty coming from a finance channel. Thank you for making this video because it can help reasonable people, not all people because some of them are too far gone.

I think a message that can be taught to just about any young person is that you should always learn from the right people.

thus, it boils down to judgment. Finding the 'right people' can be tricky at times especially when you're not experienced(meaning young) enough to truly gauge if that one person you're dealing with is the right person to learn to. It is sometimes hard to teach/learn good judgment as it requires good instinct as well as good grasp of fundamental knowledge in order to give/get some value out of it.

I think the most important thing you said was this: look to them for inspiration, not advice. I also loved how you took the time to really congratulate them on their successes, instead of tearing them down. This was informational, not sensationalized and disparaging, and I really appreciated that. Really cool video, from a really cool guy! :)

Hi Anthony, thanks for sharing your video. I really appreciated it and learned a lot from it. The points about my dream house and the difference between speculation and investing really stuck with me. However, I wanted to clarify a few things for clarity. 1.) When I made the video, I was talking about the numbers I was making at that time. When I mentioned my 7-figure agency, the month before we had made around 58,000 in sales and mostly profit. So, when I said it would easily sell for over a million, I meant at that specific point in time. 2.) When I tell my fans that they are just like me, Im not lying. I started out as a normal kid and through a lot of hard work and a constant obsession to improve, I became who I am today. I am completely dedicated to becoming the best version of myself in every aspect of my life. While I appreciate your comparison to LeBron James, it's simply not true. This also relates to the success equation, as I was upset when you dismissed the importance of hard work and time. I have worked incredibly hard and it's not just been luck that has gotten me where I am. When I was 18, I lost almost all of the money I had made through a scam. Then, when I was 21, I was sued for 200,000 which was very stressful and set me back. And just last year, I temporarily lost 500,000 (which I will be getting back) long story lol. I'll turn 24 in 9 days and I have been working hard since I was 16, flipping go-karts and furniture while also working at a car wash. That means I've been working hard for almost 8 years, which is a lot of time. I 100% deserve everything I have achieved, there were many times when I wanted to give up, but I persisted. 3.) When you described me as a genius marketer who discovered gold and created an entire team to scale and extract money, etc., it wasn't accurate. I am not a genius, just slightly above average in intelligence (118 IQ). I just work very hard while most men play video games, complain, party, go to college ect. KZread was never meant to be a business for me until this year. It started as a way for me to help other kids and share information about drop shipping that I learned through my own experience. It was always meant to be a way to help people. Now that it has grown so much, it became a business. It was not some elaborate strategy to take advantage of a golden opportunity in the finance space. While I wish I could claim to be that savvy and intelligent, it's simply not true. i just wanted to help and it turned into something so big. At the time I filmed that video i really was making 10K+ per day in cash (excluding the house, which I appreciate you mentioning). However numbers can change over time and that does not mean i'm lying. A few months later, I had a run for a few weeks where I consistently made 40K profit per day from a business. Currently, that is no longer the case, but who knows what the future will hold ;) Its also worth mentioning that i don't have a corse to sell anyone... i have a FREE course that anyone can join in which we make money off some affiliate links but thats it. I don't have some grand plan to get people to think i'm someone i'm not just to sell them a course, i genuinely don't care of people like me or not, i just doing my own thing lol. Hope that clarity helps Overall, this was a good and entertaining video, and i appreciate you making it bro. I learned a few things that will help me sharpen the way i speak and i appreciate all of the nice things you had to say. Also, good stuff on pronouncing my last name correctly, that is RARE. - Sebastian Ghiorghiu

Second, hopefully it was clear in the video, but I actually do have mad respect for what you've built. Third, there's a section in my video that I sold you a bit short, and I apologize for that. In particular, the Time variable of your success. I mentioned it in a couple replies to other commenters, but the truth is you've been grinding for the better part of a decade and I believe that ANYBODY can achieve incredible success in life if they're willing to dedicate 10 years to the process. You did that and it was wrong of me to downplay that aspect. Fourth, for anybody reading this, I 100% believe your intentions are pure and that what you're putting out into the world is massively valuable. My goal in making this video is simply to help people develop critical thinking skills, so they don't just default to passively accepting whatever is being sold to them (and that includes information coming from me, as well!).

Thanks for pointing out what should be "'obvious" to anyone who takes a few minutes to contemplate what these guys are saying and doing. The only category I think you might have overlooked is that no one can become successful in any venture, no matter what it might be, unless they have "Connections" - whatever that might be for each person. No one succeeds without CONNECTIONS - THE "RIGHT" CONNECTIONS.

Here's a concept worth keeping in mind: "Your network is your net worth." In a very real way, if I was to go back to $0, I could rebuild to where I currently am in only a fraction of the time because I have 1) the skills and 2) the network. In the beginning, you probably lack both of those, which is why it's so hard to get meaningful traction.

If you live in the US you can probably become rich. What you can't become is young and rich. Young and rich takes a tremendous amount of luck. I remember watching a Graham Stephen video and just complaining in the comments section because he was pushing real estate to get rich. He was talking about what he did in like 2010 buying on high leverage and just getting a bunch of properties. I was like bro, me and a bunch of friends did that in the early 2000s and you know what happened? Everyone I know got wiped out in 2008 due to said leverage. If you bought real estate after '08 you made bank. That was pure luck that you were at the right age at the right time to catch a boom, but don't tell others that they'll get rich doing that because they won't. Cheap houses were over and it became far more risky to be in real estate.

You talk about something that would be interesting to teens, you would help bring home the message to think critically, and the same time you are very fair to the people you critique, and you show people why they should be skeptical about information online. Most important, you drive home the message that money isn't free- you explain the difference between investing and speculation better than I have seen anyone do it. I have never gone after money. I always worked to make a difference to people. Unfortunately I am older now and have nothing to show for it. I wish I had thought about this when I was younger.

I get the feeling that these youtubers grinded their way to the top, and because they realise that they got competition, they don't want to create further competition for themselves, and so they're making you waste your time into watching their videos and enter the youtube rabbit hole to delay you and stress you out and make you anxious, and then scare you away into eventually giving up. Not give up cause you realize you have a different purpose, but give up feeling miserable and depressed, cause you feel inferior about them. It's a dangerous mental game they're playing collectively, and i won't fall for it.

In my opinion the mindset they teach is very good. I read some comments where people are speaking about how they felt bad and worthless. They have the wrong perspective.

They are just showing you the direction.

I agree. These guys are a great source of inspiration (and in a lot of cases, education). Comparing yourself to others is a great way to feel "less than". But if you look to others as a source of guidance ,to figure out what worked for them and why, then you're on the fast track to success.

That luck part is completely true, they talk about how they used skill and how we can use it to and then talk about a particular opportunity they had that we probably won't have till we die. 😫

I'm glad someone called out these fakers! I have been a 'from-scratch' millionaire and a multi-millionaire several times in my life - through investing in real estate and business, but it takes years of consistent actions and experience in every economic trend to generate the kinds of income they are claiming. I keep seeing these guys pop up on my feed and you only have to dig a little deeper with market instruments to see it's all a house of cards! Respect to you and everyone out there who is trying to make it. At 25 I was working on cruise ships, there was no way I would have had an opportunity to make a 6-figure income or more.

Quick question and I hope you don’t mind me asking but How did you come up with the money to get into real estate to begin with? Many just say what they ended up with but I’ve never heard about how they got the capital in the first place to get there. From what I notice. If they come from parents who have money. That parent was usually the very hard worker and even then, some luck was involved. Then their off springs are lent some money etc etc. the other way is usually things such as being a ‘dealer’ or for women when they become a high end adult worker. I’ve only heard of very few getting it from a 9-5.

Great comparison about the differences between investment and speculation. You remember me what I read couple weeks ago in the R.K book. Excellent reminder. To be honest, is a very common mistake to confuse them.
