Full transcript
- 0:02Hello. Are you ready to learn some real
- 0:06life English with comprehensible input?
- 0:09Well, good. Because today we are going
- 0:12to talk
- 0:13about something that I think is super
- 0:17valuable for each and every one of our
- 0:22lives. My life and your life.
- 0:25Today we are going to talk about how to
- 0:28invest in yourself. How to become the
- 0:32best version of you that you can
- 0:35possibly be. Let's go. Okay, guys. So,
- 0:40this idea came to me
- 0:42from one of my subscribers. They wrote
- 0:43me on YouTube and they said, "Kyle, I
- 0:46heard you talking about investing in
- 0:49yourself.
- 0:50Can you please make a video talking
- 0:53about practical ways to invest in
- 0:55yourself?"
- 0:57So, practical ways means realistic ways,
- 1:00okay? I can't say, "Oh, just run 20
- 1:04miles every morning, okay? Or just read
- 1:07the biggest book ever and you'll be
- 1:08okay." No, we need things that you can
- 1:11do every day, small, easy things that
- 1:15stack on top of each other and with time
- 1:19will get so big that you won't realize
- 1:22how much you've changed. So, when we
- 1:24talk about investing in yourself, and I
- 1:27think I said
- 1:28in another video that the best
- 1:30investment that you can make is in
- 1:33yourself. And that's why this subscriber
- 1:36wrote me on Instagram. And you know
- 1:38what? I'll put my Instagram down in the
- 1:41description
- 1:42so you guys can come follow me there if
- 1:44you like. I use it as a personal
- 1:46account, really, but I would really like
- 1:48to grow it because then I can use it for
- 1:50businesses. I can write people and say,
- 1:53"Hey, would you like to collaborate with
- 1:55me?" Or, "Hey, can I come film in your
- 1:58restaurant? Things like that. So, I
- 2:00would really like to grow the Instagram
- 2:02because it's not as impressive as the
- 2:05YouTube channel right now.
- 2:07But, I would like it to grow. So, please
- 2:09guys, if you're interested in seeing
- 2:11that, come follow me on the Instagram.
- 2:13So, I said the best investment you could
- 2:15ever make is investing in yourself, and
- 2:18I truly believe that. Now, what do I
- 2:20mean by investing in yourself? Well, by
- 2:24putting time and effort into things that
- 2:28will help you to grow as a person. Okay?
- 2:32So, when we think of investments, we
- 2:35think we think of okay, I buy a house,
- 2:40and then people live in it, and they pay
- 2:42me money. Okay? So, my money grows.
- 2:45Well, real estate can be
- 2:48a wonderful investment, and real estate
- 2:50is what we call
- 2:52when you invest your money in housing,
- 2:55in apartments, in houses, in buildings.
- 2:58That can be a wonderful investment if
- 3:00you already have money. But, maybe a lot
- 3:03of you guys
- 3:04are starting from a place like I started
- 3:07with just normal parents, okay? My dad
- 3:11worked on cars. My mom never worked. And
- 3:14maybe some of you are starting a lot
- 3:16worse than that, okay? Because we all
- 3:19start somewhere different. The important
- 3:21thing is not where you start,
- 3:23it's if you are willing to put in the
- 3:25work to move to that next level. So,
- 3:27when we talk about investing in
- 3:30ourselves, I like to think about it in
- 3:32three different ways. I like to think
- 3:34about it like this. We really need to
- 3:36invest in three different things. Number
- 3:39one, our physical health, the health of
- 3:42our body,
- 3:43because our body is like our vehicle,
- 3:46our car, okay? It gets us where we need
- 3:49to go. And if If body's not healthy,
- 3:51you're not going to be able to do any of
- 3:54these other things. Second thing,
- 3:56money.
- 3:57Okay? Guys, there are little things that
- 4:00we will talk about in a minute. Little
- 4:02things that you can do with your money
- 4:04that will make your life so much easier,
- 4:09so much less stressful.
- 4:12You will feel safer and so much more
- 4:14enjoyable. Okay? They're simple, they're
- 4:16easy, and it doesn't matter if you
- 4:20work at a fast-food restaurant, like
- 4:23McDonald's, or if you're a doctor.
- 4:26Anybody can apply these money rules. And
- 4:30the last thing, which is the most
- 4:32important, I'm not going to tell you
- 4:33that yet. Let's talk about physical
- 4:35health.
- 4:56All right, guys. I am on a
- 4:59walking trail, a walking trail.
- 5:02People come here to walk, to run, or to
- 5:06ride
- 5:07their bikes. So,
- 5:09the first thing that I think is super
- 5:11important for
- 5:14your physical health,
- 5:16well, this is not my opinion. This is a
- 5:18fact, okay? This is true. You have to
- 5:21move. You have to move as much as
- 5:24possible. The human body is meant to
- 5:27move, okay? We are not meant
- 5:31to sit in an office chair for 8 hours a
- 5:33day.
- 5:34We are not meant to sit on a couch and
- 5:36play video games for 10 hours.
- 5:39I know some of you have done that.
- 5:41>> [laughter]
- 5:42>> I'm guilty, too. When I was younger,
- 5:44there were some computer games that I
- 5:46would play for hours and hours and
- 5:47hours.
- 5:48But, the point is our body is meant to
- 5:51move. Okay? And when I say physical
- 5:53health, guys, I want to just let you
- 5:55know I do not mean that you have to have
- 5:58big muscles like a bodybuilder.
- 6:00I mean you need to exercise
- 6:03in some way every day. And this is
- 6:05important because once you start to get
- 6:08those experiences and get the ability to
- 6:11go cool places and do cool things, you
- 6:13do not want to be the one in the group
- 6:15doing this.
- 6:16>> [sighs]
- 6:17>> I went to a Chicago one time with some
- 6:19friends and one of our friends who is
- 6:22overweight, very big,
- 6:25he couldn't even keep up with us. He had
- 6:27to keep saying, "Slow down, guys. Slow
- 6:29down." And basically he ruined
- 6:32the whole trip. So, you don't want to be
- 6:34that person. You've got to take care of
- 6:36your body.
- 6:37And you'll see, guys, that all of these
- 6:39things come together.
- 6:41And no one of these things is more
- 6:43important than the other.
- 6:45My thing that I like to do, guys, every
- 6:48day that I'm not working,
- 6:50I go out and walk. And if I can, I come
- 6:53somewhere beautiful.
- 6:55I go somewhere beautiful because I can
- 6:58breathe good fresh air and I can see
- 7:01beautiful green from the trees and it
- 7:04makes me think, guys,
- 7:06when I come out to a place like this,
- 7:08it makes me think thoughts that I would
- 7:10never think walking around in the city.
- 7:13For example, I was walking over here to
- 7:15film in this spot
- 7:17and I was looking at the
- 7:19the grass, the little flowers, and I
- 7:22thought to myself,
- 7:23there's so much more to life than we
- 7:26think about. Like, do you guys truly
- 7:29understand how a tree works and how
- 7:32incredible it is
- 7:34that those trees, they take in
- 7:37the chemical that we put out when we
- 7:39breathe, they take that in and they put
- 7:42out what we need to breathe. Guys,
- 7:45those trees are allowing me to breathe
- 7:49and I am allowing them to breathe. And
- 7:51there's so many examples of things like
- 7:53that in the world. Like these flowers
- 7:56and the bees and butterflies
- 7:59that pollinate them.
- 8:01It all works together, guys. It's
- 8:03incredible. [laughter]
- 8:04You start to notice the beauty of nature
- 8:07when you come out to places like this.
- 8:09So, that's good for your mind, but
- 8:12we're talking about your physical health
- 8:13right now. You have to move. Okay. Now,
- 8:17maybe some of you are saying, "Kyle, I
- 8:19walk every day. I walk to school. I walk
- 8:22to work.
- 8:23I walk to the store. I do not have a
- 8:26car, so I walk all day."
- 8:28Good. Your body is happy about that
- 8:31because that's what humans are supposed
- 8:32to do. If you already walk every day,
- 8:35maybe do some push-ups, okay? Start
- 8:37building a little bit of muscle. But
- 8:39really, guys, when you invest in your
- 8:41body, the older and older you get, it
- 8:43will give you a huge advantage in this
- 8:45life. Now,
- 8:46the second and most important thing that
- 8:50you can do to invest in your physical
- 8:52health, eat real food, okay? Now, once
- 8:57again, some of you guys in the countries
- 8:58you live in, you only have real food,
- 9:01okay? I'm so jealous when I see how the
- 9:04way the way that people in India, Asia,
- 9:08some parts
- 9:09some parts of Asia, some parts of South
- 9:11America eat. They eat rice.
- 9:13>> [music]
- 9:13>> They eat fish. They eat vegetables.
- 9:16Only real food.
- 9:18Now, if you live in the somewhere like
- 9:21the United States
- 9:22or a country like that where there's
- 9:24tons of fast food, processed food, fried
- 9:28food, guys,
- 9:30those are poison for your body. And I
- 9:33saw a documentary, guys, about a city in
- 9:35Mexico where they drink more Coca-Cola
- 9:39than water because it's cheaper to buy
- 9:42Coke
- 9:43which is what we call Coca-Cola than it
- 9:45is to buy water. And guys, soda alone or
- 9:49pop in the US, you will hear people say
- 9:51soda or pop. That's one of the worst
- 9:53things you can do to yourself.
- 9:55There's nothing in that that is good for
- 9:57your body. So guys, the rule that
- 10:00I try to follow is 80/20, okay?
- 10:05As long as 80% of the food that I eat is
- 10:09real nutritious food, it's okay if I eat
- 10:13a little bit of what we call junk food.
- 10:16Even though honestly guys, the food that
- 10:18I crave and when we say crave, it's when
- 10:21your brain is telling you, "I want that
- 10:23so bad."
- 10:24The food that I crave is real food
- 10:26anyway. I want a big steak. Okay, I want
- 10:30butter chicken. But guys, if you could
- 10:32eat less candy, sugar,
- 10:35drink less pop, and eat more protein,
- 10:39vegetables, healthy carbs like rice or
- 10:42potatoes, your body will be so much
- 10:44healthier.
- 10:45Okay? And like I said guys, there's a
- 10:47ton of other things you could do. People
- 10:49might say
- 10:51>> [snorts]
- 10:51>> breathing techniques or cold showers.
- 10:53This video is about simple practical
- 10:56things. So for physical health,
- 10:59walk more, eat better. Let's talk about
- 11:02money. All right guys, now we're going
- 11:03to talk about the second way to invest
- 11:06in yourself. And this one's important.
- 11:09Maybe you don't want to talk about this.
- 11:11Money. Now guys, a lot of people around
- 11:13the world have it in their minds that
- 11:16money is bad. Money is not bad. Money is
- 11:19like electricity, okay? Electricity is
- 11:22not good or bad. It's good if you use it
- 11:26to
- 11:27light up a house and, you know,
- 11:30use it in light bulbs. And it's bad if
- 11:33it
- 11:34shocks you and kills you, okay? Money is
- 11:38like that. It's energy.
- 11:40And if you use it for good, it's good.
- 11:42If you use it for bad, it's bad. But we
- 11:44would never do that here. And I know you
- 11:46would never use it for bad because you
- 11:48are somebody who's watching this trying
- 11:50to improve your life. So I know that you
- 11:52would only use it for good. Therefore,
- 11:54in your life, money is good. So guys,
- 11:57there's three things we need to think
- 11:59about with money.
- 12:00Save, invest, create. All right?
- 12:05Now first, saving. This is the basic,
- 12:08guys. Saving money means you take some
- 12:11money when you make it and put it away
- 12:13for later, okay? You do not spend
- 12:15everything you have. Now listen very
- 12:17carefully to this, guys.
- 12:19The person who works at McDonald's for
- 12:22very little money and the doctor who
- 12:25makes a ton of money,
- 12:27if they both spend all of the money they
- 12:30make, they're both broke.
- 12:33Okay? And broke means you do not have
- 12:35any extra money. The only difference is
- 12:38that the doctor looks like he has money
- 12:41because he spent his money on nice cars
- 12:44and nice houses, okay? But the truth is,
- 12:46if neither one of them saves anything,
- 12:49neither one of them has any real money.
- 12:51And by the way, broke is a really good
- 12:53piece of vocabulary. And that's what we
- 12:55say when somebody has no money. Hey, hey
- 12:59Kyle, do you want to go to the movies?
- 13:01>> [snorts]
- 13:01>> I wish I could, man, but I'm broke. I
- 13:03can't even buy a ticket. Okay, so how
- 13:05can you save money? Maybe you're
- 13:07thinking, Kyle, I hardly make any money
- 13:10at my job.
- 13:11Well,
- 13:12try and find a better job if you can.
- 13:14But if you are at the best job you can
- 13:16possibly find, don't worry about it. You
- 13:18can save. The rules are these. Pay
- 13:22yourself first, okay? Take 10% of the
- 13:26money that you make, no matter what,
- 13:28before you pay your rent, before you buy
- 13:31food, before you buy anything else, 10%.
- 13:34It's not that much, guys, and put that
- 13:36in your savings, okay? If you have a
- 13:39bank account, put it in the bank. If you
- 13:41don't, put it under your bed, hide it,
- 13:44because that savings is your future.
- 13:47Now, 10% doesn't sound like much,
- 13:49but when you do it every week,
- 13:52after a year, after 2 years, you will
- 13:54not believe how much money you have. You
- 13:56will have so much more money than you
- 13:58have today. And the best thing about
- 14:00savings, guys, is when something bad
- 14:02happens,
- 14:04which, hey, life happens, something will
- 14:07happen, you will feel so much safer
- 14:09knowing that you have money to help,
- 14:12okay?
- 14:13Something bad happened to my car and I
- 14:14had to have it fixed, guys,
- 14:16and it cost a lot of money, and I was so
- 14:19mad for days, guys. I didn't want to
- 14:22talk to anybody. I was so mad that I had
- 14:25to spend the money that I've been
- 14:26working so hard to save.
- 14:28But guess what, guys? How bad would that
- 14:30situation have been
- 14:33if I didn't have savings? Oh, it would
- 14:36have been terrible. I would have had to
- 14:37find a way to get to work.
- 14:40I would have had to call people, "Hey,
- 14:41can I have a ride?"
- 14:42But I had savings. So, even though I was
- 14:45mad about it, the situation was so much
- 14:48better than it could have been if I was
- 14:50broke. Okay, guys, once you have a
- 14:52saving, step two,
- 14:54invest. And investing, guys, is when you
- 14:56make your money work for you, okay? You
- 14:59send your money to a place where it will
- 15:01grow and grow and grow,
- 15:04and you do not have to work, okay, for
- 15:06the money, because the money is working
- 15:09for you.
- 15:11That's the difference between rich
- 15:12people and poor people, guys. Poor
- 15:14people work for money, rich people make
- 15:16their money work for them.
- 15:18Now, I can't tell you how to invest in
- 15:20your country. I can tell you here in the
- 15:22United States, the safest, easiest way
- 15:25to invest is in a stock, which is a
- 15:27little piece of a company, and the way
- 15:30that I would invest in stocks, and the
- 15:31way that I do, is buy a bunch of them,
- 15:34okay? A bunch of different companies all
- 15:36in one stock. We have something called
- 15:38the S&P 500 here in the United States,
- 15:41and that is the top 500 companies. So,
- 15:44when you buy one stock, one piece of an
- 15:47S&P 500, you are getting access
- 15:51to 500 of the best companies in the US,
- 15:54like Google, like Meta, like uh SpaceX
- 15:58now, like Tesla. You've heard of these,
- 16:00right? And
- 16:01for the last 80 years, guys,
- 16:04this has averaged 10% growth every year.
- 16:08So, if you put $10,000 in the S&P 500 40
- 16:14years ago, now it would probably be
- 16:16worth I don't even know, a million, over
- 16:19a million. So, invest, guys. And let me
- 16:22tell you one thing about investing.
- 16:24Don't just do it. Learn about it first,
- 16:26because your country is different than
- 16:28mine.
- 16:29Unless you're working and living in the
- 16:30US, S&P 500, guys, is the simple way
- 16:34that you cannot fail. Number three,
- 16:36create. So, guys, investing is great,
- 16:39saving is great, but the problem is if
- 16:43you have a job where you don't make a
- 16:45lot of money, like most of the people
- 16:47watching this, investing and saving is a
- 16:50great step. It's you have to do that
- 16:52step, but it will take a long, long
- 16:55time, okay? It might take you 20 years
- 17:00to invest and save enough to where you
- 17:02feel like you have enough money to live
- 17:05comfortably. And guess what, guys? That
- 17:0720 years is going to pass anyway. So,
- 17:10use it right. Invest and save, okay?
- 17:12But, if you are someone like me who does
- 17:16not want to work at a job that you don't
- 17:18like forever.
- 17:20If you have a job that you love, you are
- 17:22blessed. Be happy, guys. But, I don't
- 17:24want to work at my job forever, so I
- 17:26have to create. And what this means is
- 17:29making something to help people that
- 17:32they will pay you money for, okay? And
- 17:34this is the only way to make big money,
- 17:36enough money to where you get the
- 17:38freedom to do what you want when you
- 17:39want. And that's my ultimate goal in
- 17:41life, guys. And I want it for myself,
- 17:44but I also want it for my family because
- 17:46my whole life money has caused stress.
- 17:49It never brought joy because we never
- 17:51had enough of it because my dad did not
- 17:53know how to save, how to invest, how to
- 17:56create. He worked a job. He tried his
- 17:58best,
- 18:00but he was working for money. He never
- 18:02learned how to make money work for him.
- 18:04So, you need to think about what you're
- 18:06good at, what you know about, and how
- 18:09can you help other people,
- 18:11okay? Because the way to make money is
- 18:13add value. You do this by helping people
- 18:16with their problems. An example, a lot
- 18:19of people tell me
- 18:21watch what I'm doing here, guys. This is
- 18:23watch what I'm doing and use this, okay?
- 18:27If it works,
- 18:28okay. If not, whatever. I'm teaching. A
- 18:31lot of people tell me
- 18:32that they can understand me when I speak
- 18:35like this, but they cannot understand
- 18:38other natives when they watch YouTube
- 18:40videos or Netflix.
- 18:43And the reason for that is because
- 18:44natives smash words together and it
- 18:47sounds like a different language because
- 18:49natives speak in a way that they do not
- 18:51teach you on Duolingo and they do not
- 18:53teach you in in English books. So, I
- 18:57decided to help those people with that
- 18:58problem and create the native English
- 19:01Starter Kit.
- 19:02And what this is, guys, I break down and
- 19:04fully explain all of the ways that
- 19:07natives smash words together, how we get
- 19:09rid of certain sounds and phrases, and
- 19:12phrases that we use every day. And this
- 19:15helps to solve that problem by giving
- 19:17you the tools and the patterns that we
- 19:20use when we speak, and it will help you
- 19:22to better understand native speakers
- 19:24when they're speaking naturally. So, if
- 19:27that sounds like a problem you have, you
- 19:29could check out my solution to that
- 19:32problem,
- 19:33the way that I'm trying to help people
- 19:34with that problem,
- 19:36in the description below.
- 19:38And by the way, for everybody who's
- 19:39bought that already, I appreciate you. I
- 19:42really hope that it's helping you, and
- 19:45I'm also trying to improve on this. So,
- 19:48I'm trying to improve every day, guys.
- 19:50Doing my best. So, guys, you see what I
- 19:52did there? I identified a problem that
- 19:54people have. I tried to use my
- 19:57experience and the things that I know
- 19:58about to help them fix that problem, and
- 20:01I made it into a product that they can
- 20:03pay me for to help them with their
- 20:06problem. That is creating That is how
- 20:09you make more money than just from your
- 20:11job. But, an important thing about
- 20:13creating, guys, don't try and sell
- 20:15something to people
- 20:16just to make money. You need to focus on
- 20:19helping them.
- 20:21Because if you sell them something that
- 20:22does not help them, then you are doing
- 20:25bad. Okay? If you sell them something
- 20:28that actually helps them, and they feel
- 20:30good about it, then you are doing good
- 20:32for the world, and you earned that
- 20:34money.
- 20:35All right, guys. Those are my
- 20:37tips and rules about money. Now, let's
- 20:40talk about the most important thing that
- 20:42you can invest in you with. All right,
- 20:46guys. Now, for the most important thing
- 20:49that you can ever invest in, your mind.
- 20:53Okay?
- 20:54Now, your mind is your brain, but it's
- 20:56more than that. It's not just the organ
- 20:58of your brain.
- 20:59It's the things you know. It's the way
- 21:02you think. If you want to be successful,
- 21:04you have to think successful. And the
- 21:07truth is, naturally, I think most humans
- 21:10do not think successful thoughts. We
- 21:13have doubts, we have fears. We think,
- 21:15oh, okay, this person can make money,
- 21:18this person can be healthy and have an
- 21:20awesome body, not me. I'm not good
- 21:22enough. You have to work to change those
- 21:25thoughts, okay? Now, how can you invest
- 21:28in your mind? Well,
- 21:30one way that I invest in my mind very
- 21:32often is meditating, okay? Meditation
- 21:35literally changes your brain, and you
- 21:38can literally change the person you are
- 21:41by changing the way you think through
- 21:42meditation.
- 21:44Now,
- 21:45I'm not going to teach you about
- 21:46meditation in this video. I recommend
- 21:49reading Dr. Joe Dispenza's book,
- 21:52Breaking the Habit of Being You. Top
- 21:55five books I've ever read in my life,
- 21:57and I could listen to Dr. Joe for hours,
- 21:59guys. He's on YouTube, and I'm positive
- 22:03that you can find some of his talks in
- 22:05your language, and don't try and watch
- 22:07this in English, guys, unless you are
- 22:09super advanced, okay? Because he's going
- 22:12to talk about a lot of scientific words
- 22:14about the brain, and you really need to
- 22:16understand this if you're going to use
- 22:18it to change your life. Dr. Joe's
- 22:20teachings have changed my life so much,
- 22:22changed the way I think and see the
- 22:24world. Meditation, guys, huge. Next, and
- 22:27I'll probably make this the last thing.
- 22:29You must have to
- 22:32learn every single day. You have to
- 22:37constantly
- 22:38feed your mind. You need Your mind needs
- 22:42books like your body needs food, okay?
- 22:46And your mind needs good books like your
- 22:49body needs good food. Guys,
- 22:52I can't tell you how many books I've
- 22:53read, and so many people at my work,
- 22:57they say, I haven't read a book since I
- 23:00got out of school, and I automatically
- 23:02know that that person has zero goals,
- 23:05and that person will never change
- 23:08unless they start reading.
- 23:10You must read. Every great person
- 23:14throughout history was a reader, and
- 23:17that is not a coincidence, guys.
- 23:19They were great because they were
- 23:21readers, because they filled their minds
- 23:24with the thoughts of other great people,
- 23:26and that is what you must do. Because
- 23:28what a book is
- 23:30is the thoughts of somebody who has
- 23:32succeeded or done something great. And
- 23:34the best thing about reading, guys, you
- 23:36can find somebody who started in the
- 23:40same spot as you, and you can read about
- 23:43how they got to where they are now. I'm
- 23:45reading a book right now called The
- 23:47Power of Broke, and it's about a guy
- 23:49named Daymond John. He's very famous
- 23:51here in the United States. He created a
- 23:53clothing brand that made him rich, but
- 23:56he did not start out with money. He
- 23:58started out very poor, but through his
- 24:01creativity, through his discipline and
- 24:04persistence, he was able to build
- 24:06something and change his life and his
- 24:08family's life and future. And the thing
- 24:10about that, guys, I know where he's
- 24:12coming from, okay?
- 24:14He had a mom that worked very hard. They
- 24:16had a home, they had food, but they did
- 24:19not have much else.
- 24:21Okay? Now, I can identify with that, and
- 24:25I think many of you can identify with
- 24:27that, but he did not tell himself,
- 24:30"I'm just going to live like this." No,
- 24:32he said, "My mom works so hard, I'm
- 24:34going to change everything for us."
- 24:37And how did he get going, guys? He got
- 24:39going by learning, by studying the
- 24:41people who did what he wants to do.
- 24:43And another thing that I read in that
- 24:45book, guess what he loves to do, guys.
- 24:48Guess.
- 24:49To read. So, guys, that's the most
- 24:52valuable thing that you can invest in
- 24:53yourself with, good books. Now, you
- 24:56don't have to pay for them if you don't
- 24:58have the money saved up yet. I like to
- 25:00buy them so I have them. That way, if I
- 25:02meet somebody who I think needs that
- 25:05information, I can gift them the book.
- 25:07But, we live in the world of the
- 25:09internet and you can find most books
- 25:12online. You can find a lot of audio
- 25:15books where you can listen to them on
- 25:16YouTube or maybe you have a library
- 25:20where you can go and borrow a book and
- 25:22bring it back. It doesn't matter how you
- 25:24get your hands on a book, you must read.
- 25:27Reading
- 25:28is the most valuable thing
- 25:31that you can do to change your life,
- 25:32guys. So, my suggestion is find somebody
- 25:35who started in a situation similar to
- 25:38yours and they got to a place similar to
- 25:41where you want to be. All right? It's
- 25:44not all about money, guys. Maybe you
- 25:46want to help people. Read about Mother
- 25:47Teresa, okay? Whatever it is, there's a
- 25:50book out there for it. And you, my
- 25:52friend, if you want to change your life,
- 25:54you must consume that information. So,
- 25:57that's your homework, guys. Find some
- 25:59writing by somebody who lived a
- 26:02situation similar to what you're in and
- 26:05got to a place similar to where you want
- 26:07to be. That is the best investment that
- 26:09you can make in yourself today. I
- 26:10appreciate you guys so much. Really hope
- 26:13you enjoyed this video.
- 26:14And guys, let me let me say one thing
- 26:16about videos like this. Usually, these
- 26:18ones are the videos of mine that get the
- 26:21least amount of views, but I don't care
- 26:23because part of
- 26:25my mission is not just about making
- 26:28money from views, growing my YouTube
- 26:30channel. Part of my mission is touching
- 26:32lives around the world. So, if you're
- 26:34still watching right now, I think that
- 26:37something I said might have touched your
- 26:39heart.
- 26:40And that's why I do this. That's why I
- 26:42make these kind of videos even though
- 26:44they don't pay me as much because, once
- 26:47again, guys, I'm not always thinking
- 26:49about how can I make money. All right?
- 26:53I'm thinking about how can I change
- 26:54lives?
- 26:56How can I share what I've been through
- 26:58to help somebody else? And that's what
- 27:00it's all about, guys. Because once you
- 27:02get a little further in your personal
- 27:04story, you could tell the people, "Hey,
- 27:07I did this. This is what you need to
- 27:09do." And the ones who seriously want it,
- 27:12they will grab onto what you say, hold
- 27:15it tight,
- 27:16absorb it into their heart and mind, and
- 27:19use it to change their lives. So, guys,
- 27:22that's what I wish for you.
- 27:24If you're not already,
- 27:26start investing a little bit more in
- 27:27yourself.
- 27:29And then one day you'll be able to give
- 27:31back and help others. You can change
- 27:33your whole world for yourself and your
- 27:34families.
- 27:35It's possible. People have done it. I'm
- 27:38doing it. And you could do it, too. I
- 27:40love you guys so much. See you in the
- 27:42next video.
