23 years old and earning 300k a year and feeling like he’s lining someone else’s pocket ? Something doesn’t add up . At that age he would be earning wayyyy more than anyone he knows of the same age . Sounds like he’s dealing drugs and thinking of cutting out the middle man.

He's throwing shade on lining his employer's pockets... while he's making 300k per year at 23, lol. In a job that likely required no college degree or even trade school (given that he's been in it since 18/19). Am I the only one who thinks this guy doesn't realize how lucky he's been and how good of a position he's in to secure his financial future?

@@marcelcostache2504 The only details we have is that it is supposedly in some niche (possibly boutique) retail... Assuming that they were not lying to Richard, the only situation I would find plausible is that its a family business. In fact, the lack of details is why I commented in the longer video on playing to win about this, in response to Richard staying that staying in the job is "playing not to loose." I said there were other factors which need to be considered in this situation, other than just blindly driving forward to something else. How someone in this situation is already winning, and could "win" far more if they spent the next 5-10 years investing that income so they could have 500k-1m by the time they are 30, and then let it compound over the next 20-30 years. Giving them far more freedom and options to do their own thing at 30 than they could at 23. Basically, thinking about long term winning (20-40 years) vs short term impulsiveness.

At 43, and being blindsided by social conditioning, raised by women, and subliminally for by slow drip poisoning I live the nice guy frame...i just found You and Rollo... I suffered a hard loss. Which brought me two red pill awareness. Now I’m rebuilding my naïve blueprint of the world. And one of the reasons why I suffered was because I was not a hard closer, playing it safe with a woman( lost her because I’m a little bitch nice guy). I have a good IT job, but feel stuck... Life is a negotiating, and not being afraid of crucial conversations to get what you what regardless of the outcome. I now know that it’s best to play to Win, offense is huge, I can’t believe it 43 I’m just learning this now. Thank God for you and Rollo... please create that show.... I really struggle with fear of the world ... but fuck that, I just want to be Fearless. I am a fucking man dam it lol ... I can’t believe how unknowingly and subliminally shamed I have been into being nice guy beta male.... at work I am doing sexual-harassment training, and basically as a man don’t even say hello to a woman... I think I have Red Pill Rage and want to dominate!!! I control my reality. But now I see this at 43... dam. Thanks for your work Rich

300k a year is pretty good. I wouldn't want to give that up. What if he went out on his own and failed? Could he return to his job? My thinking is do that job for 10 years make 300k a year but live on 50k and save and invest the rest. Then by your early 30s you'd have well over a million dollars then you'd have the rest of your life to do whatever you wanted

Thanks for the Vid. I always believe in playing to win, but it has to be in the right context. The 23 yr old, may still need to sit back for a while and think things thru and feel things out before he leaves. He`s still real young. However, in general you need to Focus on what you want, not what can go wrong. Instead of saying I need to lose weight. Say I`m eating healthy and will lose 10 lbs. in 3 months. Instead of I always seem to procrastinate, I am efficient when I complete certain tasks. Focusing on right action, you`re aligned with attracting the things you want, which will bring you closer to your goals. It`s okay to be Aware of what you don`t want, but your Primary focus should be on what you want to create and get specific and write it down. Clarity and writing it down makes it more powerful. Writing it down brings it into the physical. Hope that helps !! peace out !

Definitely interested in the new show Rich.

Hey bro how did you do it to be successful? I want to win cause I can't take it being broke and poor plus I can't take my manager and co-workers. I'm sure many can relate. You know L.A. kind of sucks.

What happened to pining for the one episode? Was it cancelled?

Looking like a boss on the thumbnail👍👍

Which car?

300k at 23?? In retail? Working for someone else?? LOL. If he's actually doing that, then perhaps the prudent thing would be to ride that out for a few years, bank that money, and then GTFO invest it well, do what you want, etc.

I’m sure you’re always cleaning your glasses. XD great advice 👍🏻

if you'd make such show i'd love it

Definitely do the new show Rich!

RSD already covered this exact topic.

Great video Rich! If only I could go back in time in time and tell myself what to do! I played it safe, and did OK for myself. I was in IT\IS for 20+ years and made good cash. I have a paid off house and 2 cars and a retirement plan independent of CPP. But I was recently laid off, and at 51 it's almost impossible to get back to where I was before, especially when there are wonder kids half my age that eat live and breathe IT\IS. I don't want to live like that anymore. Reinventing yourself is MUCH easier at a younger age when your body won't fail you. If I could hit the life reply button I would've gone into a trade and been a plumber or electrician. I would've made connections and started a small business. I'd be my own boss, playing to win! People, don't believe the lie that education, and working for The Man is the way to live. It isn't. It's finding a purpose in life that motivates you, and if it makes money for you at the same time, then great! Figure it out when you're young, because it's tough to do it later in life, as I'm figuring out now. Cheers!

A rudderless ship is destined to be lost at sea. Or worse, crash against rocks.

Great topic! I just came across a thought by Warren Buffet saying that really successful people say no to almost everything. I can tell from experience that it works.... Jeff Bezos seems to be catching up with Warren Buffet pretty fast though... Entrepreneurial show is a very good idea.

Go your own way. Strongly adhere to what you personslly perceive as Truth. Do not listen to naysayers.

I worked for the wrong retail place. Holy Shit!

Abundance vs scarcity mentality.

Interesting concept. Depends on how you define win or lose. I'm at the older end of the spectrum at 48. Wasted early years overcoming social conditioning. It's easy to look back and say I wish I would have. You can only move forward. My suggestion is to structure your life so that the cost of losing is low. I'm a minimalist in my day to day life and don't need very much to get by. I have no debt apart from my mortgage which I'm hoping to pay off before I'm 50. Unlike Richard I don't give a dam about cars and my motoring expenses are minuscule compared to the norm. I don't need material signs of wealth. My play to win is that I'm building a high tech company.I can take risks because the downside is low. If you read Nassim Taleb's antifragile you're looking to benefits from positive black swans. It's a bar bell strategy. My ultra safe option is my minimalist lifestyle, my high risk is my business.

I'm so glad you bravely throw in the minimalist concept here. Same here. What Mr EIC says is inspiring. On the other hand, it's not for everybody and I'm not into keeping up with the Joneses in this sick society...Philosopher Jiddu Krishnamurti once said, “It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.”

As a lawyer, I am naturally risk averse. However, most people do not get rich working for someone else. You can have a good life, earn a comfortable income, enjoy a high degree of security, and possibly have a good retirement by working for someone else. The way to make the big bucks -- to have a shot at becoming very rich is to work for yourself. Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Jeff Bezos have all basically started from nothing and become fabulously wealthy. Whether those success stories could be recreated -- probably not. The simple truth of the matter is that 95% of new businesses fail within the first three years. This is, in part, because the IRS limits your ability to deduct losses for three years. In other words, you have three years to make it. Part of the problem here is having enough money to last for those years where you are not making money. Amazon, for example, lost money for many years. Most businesses are under-capitalized anyway, so struggling to just eat magnifies the problem. So you will need a nice nest egg to get started. That's hard to do in your 20s. You really have to have some sort of vision, that is be thinking outside of the box. Steve Jobs made the personal computer accessible to the population at large with the Apple II. Bill Gates supplied the operating system for the early PCs. Jeff Bezos developed online book selling. Elon Musk though up Paypal. Of course, these industries are filled with failures. It take vision and a lot of luck.

Of course, a guy who is making $300,000 per year at 23 (since he was 18) is taking a huge risk in walking away from that job. That is more than most professionals, like doctors and lawyers, make. He obviously has not gone to college and does not have any sort of professional or advanced degree, or even a BA. Personally, I think he would be crazy to give up a job like that.

Wouldn’t mind trading places with the 23 year old making 300k. I’m 31, making 40k a year, working in a hospital with mostly women, feeling like a castrated clown every time I go to work. No skills or education worth a damn. About ready to jump into a trade that I have no idea how to do. I’m getting desperate. The quarter life crisis is real, don’t fuck off in your 20s like I did.

Astrotrain52 Reviews agreed, but since I’m a rudderless dude I’m not sure what work I should be doing. Wasted my 20s working in retail, drinking, smoking weed, playing video games, playing in bands that went no where, dating single mothers.. basically every beta chump mistake in the book. Only things I’ve got going for me is that I’m a decent musician, tall and good looking, but that doesn’t bring in $$. I want to do the work but I don’t want to waste anymore time on bullshit. My biggest fear is waking up one day at age 40 still a pharmacy tech working with a bunch of wives and fags making 40k a year. I’m willing to do what it takes to make the change but haven’t figured out what to do.

Back in the day there were men who rode a rocket full of jet fuel to get to the moon. Any one thing could have gone wrong and they would have been toast. But they didn't say" geez I don't think I'll go to the moon today because it seems a little risky". Thanks for the video Rich 😎

I really like this idea. I played it rather safe in my 20s and early 30s. I am now in my mid-30s and taking a ton of risk because I finally understand. A channel dedicated to this subject would dope!

Actually, it's perfectly possible. I know a few guys who were making such wages before 25 working in the northern territories doing fabrication, welding, etc., kinds of trades. In the welding for sure, you don't need college or university to get your tickets and get that kind of job. A casual acquaintance of mine had a crap load of welding tickets by the age of 16. His dad was a welder and taught him. All you have to do is be capable of doing the test, make an appointment to take the test, and then pass the test to get the ticket. I heard that he passed 4 tickets in one day.
