- 0:50know kind of learned that was the way
- 0:52for me to get the [ __ ] I needed you know
- 0:53the [ __ ] I wanted you know was to just
- 0:56take that [ __ ] you know never got caught
- 0:58[ __ ] it this shit's working good and uh
- 1:02that was my uh basic mentality growing
- 1:05up you know where um that's how I got
- 1:08[ __ ] you know and I'd say this lasted
- 1:10all the
- 1:12way you know probably tell I was about
- 1:1420 you know and uh it just escalated
- 1:17escalated escalated you know and you
- 1:20know stealing from the grocery store as
- 1:21a little kid you know kind of escalated
- 1:23a you know more serious [ __ ] and uh you
- 1:27know one day I finally realized that
- 1:30that Karma started to take effect and no
- 1:33matter how much I stole what I stole I
- 1:36was never going to [ __ ] get ahead
- 1:38this [ __ ] was just a it was just you
- 1:40know no matter how much I how much
- 1:42however much I took I was lost you know
- 1:45it was just a never ending and if you
- 1:47think about it all those people out
- 1:48there that have that mentality they
- 1:49never [ __ ] get ahead ever no matter
- 1:52how much money they come across they're
- 1:54broke and uh it's the way it is you know
- 1:56so when I was about 20 that's when it
- 1:58hit me and what was crazy is uh I ran
- 2:02into an older lady who was a friend of
- 2:04the family and she sat down and started
- 2:07talk to me about mutual funds and I was
- 2:10just sitting there thinking what the
- 2:11[ __ ] is she talking about I don't want
- 2:13to hear this [ __ ] [ __ ] but you
- 2:14know I was polite part of the family so
- 2:17I
- 2:18listened and I actually became very
- 2:20intrigued about mutual funds and you
- 2:23know she was telling me that you know
- 2:25you could retire in 10 years you know if
- 2:27you invest right and you know you're
- 2:29very con assistent and you know I was
- 2:31thinking about it and you know at the
- 2:33time I was working I had a shitty job
- 2:34bouncing you know making whatever you
- 2:36know probably 10 bucks an hour uh and
- 2:40you know everything she said just
- 2:42started to make more and more sense to
- 2:44me so she said you know go see my
- 2:45financial adviser and I'm 20 years old I
- 2:47don't know [ __ ] about nothing and
- 2:50believe it or not I [ __ ] went and it
- 2:52was a trip cuz that's just what you know
- 2:53that's nothing I ever popped in my head
- 2:55you know and um I went and I sat down I
- 2:58talked to him and you know he told me
- 3:01what he thinks I should do and what my
- 3:03plan should be and you know figure out
- 3:05how much we have to invest each month
- 3:07you know which was nothing you know
- 3:08we're talking like you know investing
- 3:10100 150 bucks a month you know that's
- 3:13all I could afford but he was explaining
- 3:15to me you know how it works and this is
- 3:17back in the internet days when [ __ ] was
- 3:19[ __ ] flying technology was out of
- 3:22control the mutual funds that I got into
- 3:25you were making over 100% return back
- 3:27then you know it ain't like that [ __ ]
- 3:29now now you're making like you know
- 3:31maybe 6 to 12% or some [ __ ] you know
- 3:34you ain't making [ __ ] and that's if
- 3:36you're making anything you know you
- 3:37could be losing so it was crazy back
- 3:41then when it came to the stock market
- 3:42and investing it was it was just out of
- 3:44control that was the time to do it you
- 3:45know people were investing in these new
- 3:47companies and becoming millionaires
- 3:48overnight and uh so you know I invested
- 3:52in three companies I think it was opener
- 3:54and uh uh what was it uh T price and
- 4:00there was one more but basically it was
- 4:02it was two technology and then opener
- 4:05but my money started growing so I
- 4:08started to become like kind of obsessed
- 4:10with putting more money in and then I
- 4:12started doing a little research on my
- 4:13own and I found out what makes up a
- 4:15mutual fund you know what is a mut I
- 4:17didn't know what the [ __ ] it was I was
- 4:18just [ __ ] I can make money so you know I
- 4:20figured out that it's you know certain
- 4:21stocks they put together in a portfolio
- 4:25is a mutual fund so some of the stocks
- 4:28you know were doing better than the
- 4:29other other stocks so you know logical
- 4:31thinking is why don't I just [ __ ]
- 4:33invest in those companies that you know
- 4:36are really [ __ ] moving higher risk
- 4:38but more money at that time there was no
- 4:40[ __ ] risk in technology when the
- 4:42internet started there was no risk it
- 4:43was just [ __ ] money and uh so you
- 4:47know I pulled the money out of the
- 4:48mutual funds and I started investing
- 4:51straight into the stocks you know and um
- 4:54started making more money I was like
- 4:56holy [ __ ] and you know I just became
- 4:58more and more obsessed every day and i'
- 5:01say probably within maybe six months I
- 5:05started day trading you know and what's
- 5:08funny is I knew nothing about day
- 5:09trading I didn't go to school no one
- 5:11told me about it no one talked to me
- 5:13about it no one educated me but my
- 5:15logical thinking was
- 5:17this okay just listen to what I have to
- 5:20say and this is what popped in my head I
- 5:22would watch say I would uh you know I'd
- 5:25invest in Intel right that was one of my
- 5:28big money makers was Intel Intel so
- 5:31let's say I invested in
- 5:33Intel and I would watch and every day
- 5:37let's say intel was at you know 50 the
- 5:39price was
- 5:40$50 that stock would fluctuate from 50
- 5:43to 55 all day long 50 53 51 54 52 55 50
- 5:5253 54 50 56 constantly all day this is
- 5:56what it does up and down up and down up
- 5:58and down well when you when you day
- 6:00trade you can lock in your buy and you
- 6:02can lock in your sell so you know I
- 6:04could basically buy the
- 6:07stock at 50 and then sell it at 54 you
- 6:12know not be greedy and go for 55 or 56
- 6:15just go 54 so I know I'm going to sell
- 6:17that [ __ ] right so what put in my buy at
- 6:2050 when it goes down to 50 boom it buys
- 6:22it right when it goes up to 5 what was
- 6:26it 54 when it goes up to 54 boom it
- 6:29sells it bam so I just made money right
- 6:33so then what I do I do the same thing
- 6:36right after I do the same thing I buy a
- 6:3850 again sell it a 54 within I'm not
- 6:42even [ __ ] bullshitting within 5
- 6:43minutes boom sell it so I would sit at
- 6:47the computer and do this [ __ ] it's like
- 6:50gambling but I was making a shitload of
- 6:53money it wasn't losing I was only
- 6:54dealing with blue chip company I was
- 6:56dealing with companies that are not
- 6:58going to Apple you know let's I was
- 7:00dealing with companies that you know are
- 7:01just going to keep [ __ ] climbing you
- 7:03know so there wasn't any risk involved
- 7:06and um it got to the point where I had
- 7:0810 different stocks and those were my
- 7:11golden stocks that were 100% in my
- 7:14opinion would never [ __ ] crash go
- 7:17bankrupt you know nothing could happen
- 7:18they were just [ __ ] strong as [ __ ]
- 7:21and I would sit there and figure out
- 7:24what the what the ratio is every day you
- 7:26know maybe you know like I said maybe
- 7:27this one's 80 to 87 you know so I buy at
- 7:3081 sell at 85 maybe you know went up
- 7:34four and what happens is as you get more
- 7:38money in your account you can buy more
- 7:40shares and then when you buy and sell
- 7:42you make more money so I kept you know a
- 7:46little you know kept track of every
- 7:48little transaction I made and how much I
- 7:50made on each transaction I was very very
- 7:53anal about you know what I was doing and
- 7:56I'm not even joking every week I was
- 7:58making more money it was just climbing
- 8:00climbing climbing I'm like what the f I
- 8:03mean I just came with the [ __ ] on my own
- 8:04in my head it just made sense to me I'm
- 8:06like [ __ ] why don't I try
- 8:07this and I'm saying that ain't day
- 8:10trading when you go to school to be a
- 8:11day trader that's not what day trading
- 8:13is what I was doing was gambling but see
- 8:16back in that day the [ __ ] like I said
- 8:19the stocks just kept going up you know
- 8:22it was a gold mine back then it's not
- 8:23like that now but I discovered that gold
- 8:26mine and you know I sat at home every
- 8:29day
- 8:296:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. while the market
- 8:32was open and just sat there and [ __ ]
- 8:34gambled all day on the computer and I
- 8:35would be [ __ ] screaming my ass off on
- 8:37how much money I was making and uh you
- 8:40know that was a start and once I got a
- 8:42taste of making a lot of money at such a
- 8:44young age I was [ __ ] hooked hooked so
- 8:49I continued to to day trade and then you
- 8:51know I bought my first
- 8:53house real estate market was out of
- 8:55[ __ ] control again luck luck of the
- 8:58draw I was just lucky Market was
- 9:00climbing like a [ __ ] so you know
- 9:02within a couple years I sold that house
- 9:04you know made a couple hundred thousand
- 9:06and went bought a bigger house Markus
- 9:09still
- 9:10climbing um still still doing some you
- 9:13know some trading but not as much I
- 9:14started getting involved in other things
- 9:15um I started you know doing commercials
- 9:17that people don't know that um I did 38
- 9:20National commercials and you know back
- 9:22then the commercials were different okay
- 9:25the way you get paid on a commercial is
- 9:26residuals how many times they show that
- 9:28[ __ ] Comm commercial is how much
- 9:30money you make now 15 years ago they
- 9:33would do a commercial and they would
- 9:35show that [ __ ] for a year year straight
- 9:38that commercial will play all the time
- 9:39on TV so you could easily make $100,000
- 9:42on one [ __ ] commercial easily it
- 9:45ain't like that nowadays nowadays they
- 9:47film a commercial they play it for 3
- 9:49weeks and the shit's gone so you know
- 9:51now you make you know you make I would
- 9:54say average somewhere between 3,000 and
- 9:57at the very most you ever make is
- 9:59probably about 20,000 on a commercial
- 10:01and that's if you're a principal you got
- 10:02to be a principal you know extra you
- 10:04don't get [ __ ] you just get the day pay
- 10:06but um you know it it's it's you know
- 10:09it's still good money but I'm saying

- 10:12commercials are out of control so I did
- 10:1438 National commercials I made over $2
- 10:15million just on those commercials so

- 14:27outdated but it's still a good book The
- 14:29you haven't read it and you know I read

- 14:33exactly what he said you know I went to
- 14:35the bank I refinance my house and I
- 14:38pulled out 80% of the equity you know
- 14:40and back then 80% of My Equity was right
- 14:43around
- 14:44600,000 so I took that 600,000 and on a
- 14:48tip of one of my training clients I was
- 14:50training people in the mornings I went
- 14:53to Georgetown Texas right now again this
- 14:56is maybe eight years ago
- 14:59Georgetown Texas it's 20 minutes outside
- 15:02of Austin Georgetown Texas 8 years ago
- 15:06was nothing there was nothing there
- 15:07except for the college but there was a
- 15:10lot of [ __ ] planned and this person knew
- 15:13the inside scoop of what the [ __ ] the
- 15:14plan was going on for the next 10 years
- 15:17of what they're going to be putting and
- 15:18what they're going to be doing what
- 15:19they're going to be building he had the
- 15:21inside scoop and he said man he goes I'm
- 15:22telling you this is the best investment
- 15:24you'll ever have as far as real estate
- 15:26so I took that [ __ ] tip and I went
- 15:29there with you know
- 15:31$600,000 and I ended up buying two
- 15:33triplexes and three houses believe it or
- 15:35not and my houses were you know
- 15:38somewhere around 110,000 three
- 15:40bedroomroom two bath two car garage you

- 15:45good and uh the triplexes you know was
- 15:48three units in one building and each
- 15:50unit was three bedroom three bath and um
- 15:54bought them rented them out you know
- 15:57hired someone to manage the property for
- 15:59me they charged me 8% and just got
- 16:01checks every month in the mail now again
- 16:04it's not it's not as good as it sounds
- 16:07and from reading that book things
- 16:10weren't the way they sounded because you
- 16:13know people move out you got to repaint
- 16:14the [ __ ] walls the carpet you got to
- 16:16clean the carpet you know the person
- 16:18managed my place said we need to get
- 16:19ceramic floors in here so we don't got
- 16:21to do the carpet every time they move
- 16:22out so you need to get ceramic floors
- 16:24put in so I had to get ceramic floors
- 16:25put in every single [ __ ] you know
- 16:27unit and you know it's costly you know
- 16:30Nick say you know one of my triplexes
- 16:31needs to be replastered the whole
- 16:33outside needs replastered how much is
- 16:35that it's going to be about 30 grand 30
- 16:37grand what the [ __ ] pull that out of my
- 16:38pocket and just give it to you and you
- 16:40know so it's not real estate in my
- 16:42opinion is is not it's not as good
- 16:44investment as everybody thinks it is um
- 16:47you know still make money but you know
- 16:49the money you put out to upkeep the
- 16:50properties and people coming in going
- 16:53you know you can end up breaking even
- 16:55and I'm making any [ __ ] money which
- 16:56is a [ __ ] now yeah the equity might go
- 16:59up but it might not it's a gamble you
- 17:01know now the equity in Georgetown has
- 17:02gone up that [ __ ] has not gone down it
- 17:04just keeps going up it's going up slow
- 17:06but it's going up so you know it's a
- 17:07good thing for retirement you know I got
- 17:09those properties whatever um that was
- 17:12into the real estate you know I'm still
- 17:14renting those out still making some
- 17:15money it's not really a headache cuz
- 17:17someone manages it for me but I will not
- 17:20buy any more real estate for the rest of
- 17:22my life I am done buying [ __ ] you know
- 17:24right it's just I'm over it I'm over it

- 17:40best it can be it's like when you have a
- 17:41nice car you want to get rims and tires

- 20:59supplement company started that and it's
- 21:01going great I'm having a blast and I
- 21:04have right now honestly I have four
- 21:06other businesses I have a business plan
- 21:09written out for all four of them I'm
- 21:10ready to go but I just don't have the
- 21:12time I don't I I can't take away what
- 21:14I'm doing with my other things you know
- 21:16to focus on any other businesses right
- 21:18now but you know that's that's the way
- 21:21my mind
- 21:22works is you know you can never do
- 21:26enough no matter who you are
- 21:29you can always do more you can always
- 21:31become better you know you can always
- 21:33become more successful but you have to
- 21:34be driven for your mind to think that
- 21:37way every single [ __ ] day you know
- 21:40and what happens is people get
- 21:42comfortable you know they get stuck in a
- 21:449 to-5 job they're making enough money
- 21:46to get by right and what do they do they
- 21:50just stay there stay at that job for the
- 21:52rest of their [ __ ] life you know they
- 21:54never think [ __ ] why don't I why don't I
- 21:56try to find something better and while
- 21:58I'm working here I'm going to work on
- 21:59something better you know and then I can
- 22:01go over to something better and then
- 22:03when I'm here what can I do that's
- 22:04better in other words every day your
- 22:06mind is thinking what can I do that's
- 22:07better what can I do that's better what
- 22:08can I do that's better rather than just
- 22:10being comfortable and just going to work
- 22:129 to5 you know and and not ever thinking
- 22:16about improving your life or being more
- 22:18successful and it's the same thing with
- 22:19bodybuilding you know you have to
- 22:21constantly be motivated to go in the gym
- 22:23and kill that [ __ ] get on that cardio
- 22:25stick to that [ __ ] diet it's the same
- 22:27[ __ ] with success you got to be
- 22:29motivated to continually 24 hours a day
- 22:32be thinking about what the [ __ ] you can
- 22:33do to be better you know and there's a
- 22:37lot of people out there that you know
- 22:38have made it in certain areas of life
- 22:40bodybuilding this that but when it comes
- 22:43to just pure Financial Freedom and
- 22:45success you know they haven't made it
- 22:48and what I don't understand is in my
- 22:49opinion that should be the number one
- 22:52priority you know would I rather have
- 22:54muscles or would I rather know I have
- 22:57enough money to never have to think
- 22:59about money never have to worry about
- 23:01money for the rest of my [ __ ] life
- 23:03what what would I choose the muscles or
- 23:06the [ __ ] success it's a no-brainer
- 23:09for me man I don't give a [ __ ] about the
- 23:11muscles you know it's something I enjoy
- 23:13doing and so forth but you know the
- 23:15success and knowing that you never have
- 23:18to ever think about where money's going
- 23:20to come from how you going to pay for
- 23:21this how you going to pay for that to me
- 23:23is the best feeling in the [ __ ] world
- 23:25and like I've said a million times
- 23:26anyone out there that's competing in
- 23:27bbing contest if you took all that
- 23:30effort you put into that show and you
- 23:32put that into any kind of venture
- 23:35business venture whatsoever and you put
- 23:37that much effort in I guarantee you you
- 23:39would succeed in that business no doubt
- 23:42about it because I used to compete in
- 23:44bodybuilding and honestly I don't even
- 23:46know if I think I still to this day put
- 23:48more into a bodybuilding contest than I
- 23:51put into any business venture I've done
- 23:54seriously I mean that's that's [ __ ] up
- 23:56but it's the truth you know when I
- 23:57competed for a show was [ __ ] training
- 23:59you know 2 hours a day doing cardio
- 24:01twice a day eating 10 times a day you
- 24:03know putting needle in my ass you know
- 24:05making sure I got enough sleep it was
- 24:06constant everything was about that show
- 24:08you know and that's all I thought about
- 24:10that's all you know and that that's what
- 24:11I did and uh you know bodybuilding is 24
- 24:14hours a day you know it's in your head
- 24:1624 hours a day now if you could have
- 24:18that same exact mentality towards
- 24:25success it'd be a no-brainer you could
- 24:28easy do it but for whatever reason man
- 24:31you know a lot of people they don't see
- 24:34they don't see you know being successful
- 24:35or Financial Freedom maybe it's not
- 24:37maybe in their head it's not a
- 24:38possibility maybe in their head this is
- 24:40just nothing I can ever accomplish and
- 24:42that's the first mistake because then
- 24:43you're you've already ruined everything
- 24:46you know so the first thing you have to
- 24:47do is realize that you can [ __ ]
- 24:49accomplish anything you [ __ ]
- 24:52want and anybody can and I'm telling you
- 24:55man I'm the last [ __ ] in the
- 24:57world that should be doing as well as I
