I wish i learnt most of these principles about seven years ago. A lot of people have been trapped strongly in the matrix-- Go to school, get a job, and then slave your whole life. Many miss out on life-changing information that could have great effect on their finances. I played with the stock market sometime in 2020, and I was surprised at how well it turned out. I want to put in $90k more into the market. I heard people are making really great returns despite the downturn. Any recommendations?

Stocks are pretty unstable at the moment, but if you do the right math, you should be just fine. Bloomberg and other finance media have been recording cases of folks gaining over $250k just in a matter of weeks/couple months, so I think there are a lot of wealth transfer in this downtime if you know where to look.

It's unfortunate most people don't have such information. I don't really blame people who panic. Lack of information can be a big hurdle. I've been making more than $31k passively by just investing through an advisor, and I don't have to do much work. Doesn't matter if the economy is misbehaving; great wealth managers will always make returns.

Love your content Alex! Just when i needed it. Heres the List of Rules to put on your wall for the season of NO! • Successful people say no to almost everything • The season of no is a period of intense focus on one goal • Sometimes a season of no can last three months, sometimes three years • During a season of no, say no to social events, alcohol, and one-off favors • Trick your brain into thinking that saying no is actually a yes to the thing that matters most • Focus means saying no to a hundred other good ideas • Be selective on the one thing that matters most • Most plans taken to their natural end are actually pretty good • Say no to work that's below your pay grade • Family obligations are a choice, not an obligation • Say no to business contacts to stay productive • Writing down the things you're willing to sacrifice for your goal is more effective than a to-do list • Be willing to say no to everything else to allow space for productive work.

Dude this video came at a perfect time, I’m at a period in my life where internally I just want to grind, but on the outside there is so much going on and I hate letting people down so I always say yes when I need to start saying no, because I don’t want to feel bad. Thanks for showing that this is normal, and as a matter of fact crucial to massive success. Be blessed brother! 🙏💪

"6 figures, isolated, no social life" This can give you a short-term boost but isn't sustainable. When I read that section I thought that sounds terrible. it is like staying up all night to get a few extra hours of work. In the short-term you get a benefit but there is always a cost and it isn't sustainable. The problem is when you have 6 figures and nobody to enjoy it with. I have gone from 0 to 6 figures and my advice is have it all. Friends, family, and a social life and just work smarter and harder to have it all. You will become better and have the rest.

"Everybody is trying to get you to be the version of you that best serves them" TRUTH

Alex let me just say I am so greatful for your content! Right now I work a low wage 9-5, and learning the tools to work business and make more money is so important for me right now. Thanks.

I've been saying no to a lot of things all year round BUT my cousins wedding, I just can't refuse. I can't buy that moment back. So it will be one the only things I spend money on & attend. It does hurt a bit cuz I'm trying to reach my goal.

This video has been a game-changer for me. I've always struggled with productivity and focus, often finding myself overwhelmed by the sheer number of tasks and opportunities that come my way. But the concept of a "season of no" has completely shifted my perspective. I've started saying "no" to things that don't align with my primary goals, and it's been liberating. It's not about rejecting others or opportunities, but rather prioritizing what truly matters to me. I've realized that every "no" is actually a "yes" to my main objectives. The analogy of "yeses" being withdrawals from my personal energy account and "no's" being deposits into my goal account really resonated with me. I've started seeing my time and energy as a finite resource that needs to be invested wisely. The idea of focusing on one goal at a time, rather than trying to juggle multiple goals, has also been a revelation. I've been able to make significant progress on my main goal, and it's been incredibly satisfying. This video has taught me that it's okay to let other people's dreams of me die so that my dream can live. It's a hard truth, but it's necessary for personal growth and success. I've also started being more conscious about my business contacts and the time I spend on calls and meetings. I've realized the true cost of these interruptions and how they affect my productivity. In short, this video has completely transformed the way I approach my work and life. It's taught me the power of saying "no" and the importance of focus. I'm grateful for these lessons and I'm excited to continue on this journey of growth and success. Thank you for sharing this wisdom. Regenerate response

I’ve spent the past 2-3 years learning the hard way to say no. I’m not even halfway to reaching my potential, but I’m further than I’ve ever been. I’m going to start to share my journey on my channel and hopefully I can help other men too 🏆

In order to get what no one has, YOU must do what no one else will.. Good luck to all.

Amazing Video! I have been coming to some of these same conclusions organically. But it is great to see someone reaffirm this and write it all out. One thing I might personally add is that by doing this, at some point you will be in a spot in the future where you can give ur family, friends, and community way more value than you ever could have otherwise. Be selfish when you are small, and be generous when you are big.

This makes a lot of sense. Saying no to many things will grant you time to focus on the thing you need to focus on.

I appreciate all of your content... but this whole video is everything! VERY Valuable !

This is, without a doubt, the best advice! Hard to hear, hard to implement, worth it 100 times over in the end! Thank you Alex!

This I the exact problem I've been facing. When you have a goal and you want to get there by a certain time, it is only logical that the time you spend doing the thing to reach your goal has to be untouched by other things; sacred. Just like going to school. Do you ever say "nah imma skip school today"? Most of us don't, and by not doing that you ensure that you are getting closer to a goal. Make your craft a mandatory thing and say no. Thanks Alex for confirming this for me, I've been struggling with how much I should say no. Hearing that you had a 3-year season of sayng no sounds insane, but more motivation for me!

I think this is one of your best videos. I will revisit this for sure. Thanks a lot man, really appreciate it

That's what I'm going through right now. Saying no to my mom dad everyone else around me so I can give everything I have in front of me. 😊

this comes with experience but when you do it for long enough its just hard for the first week or two if you REALLY know what you want and work for it all the time, saying no to all the bs thats out there just becomes a habit and a very good one and you go to sleep knowing that whatever you did during the day ultimately benefitted your main goal and now youre one step closer and you end up feeling superior to your past self which drives you to keep doing it, because to GROW is to change everything that keeps you weak and SACRIFICE EVERYTHING ELSE except that one thing...

Absolutely love the content! Thank you for sharing and being a role model!

best video so far on this topic, Literally success will come to you, when you do this, This makes so much sense and make things simple

2:38, 4:17, 7:03, 8:11 everything else on maintenance so that you can put max energy into the focus point and actually have it grow instead of spinning your wheels trying to do everything complete focus, sacrifice everything that isn't moving you forward because if it's not moving you forward they're holding/dragging you back. 1:02 Season of No: When you’re saying no to social events and hanging out don’t think you’re being antisocial. You’re actually saying yes to the work, you’re delaying gratification. You are buying your time back. This is just a season until you can replace yourself. And if you had said, yes, you would feel bad for doing so because guilt block pleasure. You do not have fun having fun if you are procrastinating. So have fun doing the work (instead of monetarily, choosing to have fun) knowing that you’re setting yourself up for much better future unrestricted/non-guilty/relaxed fun 1:11, 1:37 8:47 this is focus (what if feels like to delete socials and just sit there doing work or nothing else to do)

This made a lot of sense . Leveling up the mindset now 🧠🔥

It’s always hard for me to say no but thanks God I got to watch this video 😊 also thanks for your time 🙌 I appreciate it!

I subbed and this video really changed me forever!

Awesome. Video. Informative and simple straight to the point. Perfect timing

1. Focus is not about saying yes to the thing that matter the most but Saying No to all other thing. 2. When you have said No to all other things you are left what the thing that matter the most. 3. If you say Yes to thing that don't matter, after a while the thing that matter the most will obviously say No to you and the things that were approaching you wil say No to you 4. Either you goals dies or theirs 5. Tick your brain into saying NO is actually saying Yes to the thing that matters the most 6. Write down all your goals and then select yp 5 and say NO to all other goals. 7. Being able to say No to all things to have a placed for being more productive. It's All About Your Priority

True. I took nearly a year off from socializing when I started my first business. Friends didn't like it and always said I should stop being a stranger, but its worth it. Now I keep the balance but lost some friends which was a good thing. Its a good filter. True friends stick by you.

Massively appreciate this one but family obligations wasn’t so clear cut. The tail end by Tim Urban & Top 5 regrets of the dying have points to consider. Would be curious to know Alex’s points of view on those things.
