 Hey everybody, welcome to Friday. It's the 8th of April 2022. I want to welcome everybody here. Make sure you use that chat box. Today is a interesting day. Today is not for everybody, and I want to tell you that up front. Today is not for everybody because today is really only for people that really want to make a change in their lives. I think I put a title on there why you should quit your job now, and I'm going to go into why I said that. My story and a friend of mine who called me yesterday and he was very unhappy, very unhappy, and I want to tell you about that person. But I do want to let you know today is not for everybody. Okay, so if you're totally happy, everything's going well. Don't waste your time this morning watching this. Don't do it. Just go do something else. But if you're somebody who thinks there may be something out there who is not satisfied with your lot in life and what's going on, this video would be for you. Okay, but if you're totally happy and you're cool, don't waste your morning. Go off and do whatever you're going to do because I'm going to get into some deep stuff today and a story that's kind of sad about a friend of mine and what's going on with his life. So that's my preview to this to let the people either stay or get the heck out of here and go someplace else. If you haven't subscribed, please do so guys. Hit that red button down there. Turn it gray. Don't forget to hit the bell. Turn on all the notifications so you're notified each and every time I go live. So like I said, today is not for everybody. I want you to also put in the chat box if you are satisfied with the way your life's going. And if you're not, put that in the chat box too. If you're happy in your job and I don't mean, you know, you can keep doing it. Yeah, I mean, you know, it's okay every day. Not that. I mean, if you're just totally happy in your job, put that in the chat section. And if you're not totally happy in your job, you should be. Put that in the chat section. I don't even have a job. Okay, I don't. I do these. I do this training now and I get to talk to you guys. And I have money flowing in every day. And I don't mean like I'm Elon Musk rich because I'm not, but I have plenty of money to live off of and everything's great. But I can look at my life every day and examine it. And I want you guys to do that today too, because I'm going to tell you a story about what do I want to call him? I don't want to call him by his real name. And his real name is very common. And I have other names in my head, but I know other people with the same names. We'll call him Eric. Okay, we'll call him Eric. Eric called me yesterday. And I want to tell you a story about Eric and his son and his lot in life and what's going on with him because it's pretty interesting what Eric's going through. He called me up yesterday because he wanted some advice. His son had gotten into a motorcycle accident. He was going around a mountain in California and a car came around the corner went over the line and hitting. He got some serious, serious injuries broke both of his wrist. And the bad thing was when they got him in the ambulance, they checked him and the police came and they did a breathalyzer and he blew a 0.13, 0.13. And I think a legal limit is 0.08. So they charged him with a DUI. So his son, I guess is probably in his 20s, mid 20s, something like that. And he was calling me to find out what the heck to do. Now, what's my relationship with Eric? And Eric is not his real name. My relationship with him goes back to 2004. I was in the automotive business and gosh, that's a long time. It's like 18 years now. But I was an automotive business and I had come to work at a particular dealership that he worked at. And Eric was a real prankster. He would always pull pranks on me. And I had a Lincoln town car at the time and I parked in the customer parking and I didn't know I had parked in the customer parking, but I did. And when I went out to get my car at the end of the day, there were stickers all over it. These long stickers that say special price or on sale or whatever, he had plastered those all over my car. And I looked at it and I thought, well, that's pretty funny. And I knew what I was dealing with in Eric. Eric had a sense of humor, but he also kind of liked to needle people. And I became his boss. Matter of fact, Eric became an employee of mine. And I ran that dealership and he worked for me for a number of years, but we had a really good relationship. And he was just a hilarious guy. And he always kitted around. And he was one of those kind of people that you just wanted to be around. And I really liked him a lot. I had a nice conversation with him yesterday too. And I had a lawyer friend of mine talk to him about his son's situation. And I'm going to get to the point of all this, but he called me for advice. And I said, well, Eric, how are you doing? He says, you know, it's the same old stuff. He says, I'm making okay money, but I'm really, really not happy in my job. He said, I don't like it here. It's uncomfortable. And let me kind of explain to you what his job was because I was the general sales manager of this dealership. And he worked for me and he went off and got some other job in some other area. And I wanted to leave the dealership. I wanted to start my own business, which is what I do now. And I've been doing it for almost 12 years. So I called him and I said, Hey, why don't you come back to work as the new car manager? And when I leave here, which will be very soon, I can almost guarantee you I can give you my old job because, you know, I talked to the owners and all this stuff. And, you know, they kind of trusted my recommendations. And they knew him because he had worked there before. So he came back to the dealership. And like I said, within a couple of months, I quit and I recommended him for my position and they put him in my position. Now, my position was the general sales manager and I ran the dealership. I was also involved in service and everything. And we had hundreds of employees at the time. And he was very grateful. He was like, gosh, you know, thanks a lot for giving me this job. I said, you may not feel that way on down the road. This may not be something that you're going to be happy with on down the road. And as the years went on, I talked to him. I talked to him on a regular basis, sometimes once a year, sometimes two or three times a year. But we always stayed in touch. And every time I talked to him, he would tell me how miserable he was. He would say, I hate it here. I hate the way they treat me. You know, sometimes I make money. Sometimes I don't. Let me get another sip here real quick. And I said, well, you know, I do stuff online. Why don't I teach you how to do some stuff online? He goes, yeah, I know you're right. I know you're right. But, you know, you've got talent in that area. I said, no, I don't. I really don't have talent in that area. What I've done is I've learned some stuff that works. And I've made some money online, but believe me, I'm not talented. I can't even type. He goes, yeah, I know you're right. I know you're right. But, you know, I'm not going to do it right now. And this went on for years and years and years and years. And I could see what was going on here. And what was going on is he was trading these little short term pleasures for his long term goals. And I think a lot of people do that, guys. I think a lot of people do that. As a matter of fact, I pulled up some information on that. And I want to talk to you about these short term versus long term pleasures, because we all have them and we make a trade off on these things. So let's first look off, what is a short term pleasure? So we determine the term short term pleasure to be a form of pleasure that is experience for only a small period of time. So an example of something like that could be eating delicious food. If that's only going to be good for a certain period of time, if you keep eating it, it's going to go away. Other things would be include, I don't know, drinking alcohol. That would be something like that. Having sex would be something like that. Any activity that temporarily triggers the release of dopamine in the brain is what we call a short term pleasure. Note that while continuously indulging in short term pleasures could theoretically cause somebody to experience pleasure for a long period of time. So you have a great meal and you drink and you have sex and you sleep and that's comfortable. So you've got this extended thing, but it's really not doing anything for you in the long term. And that's what I want to talk to you guys about today is this long term thing, because Eric, as I want to call him, is experiencing a lot of pain now. So we determine long term pleasure as any form of pleasure that is experienced continuously throughout a person's life. And sometimes we have to put off having that long term pleasure. And I'm going to give you an example of it in just a second, but also examples of such pleasure may include academic success. Maybe you've learned a lot of things. It could be professional achievement. It could be any form of accomplishment that grows with continued investment. This would be my business. This would be what I'm doing right now is I'm doing a video and this video right now is going to be there and it's going to it's a long term investment. I'm spending a lot of time to do this right now, but it's a long term investment. Okay, so now let's look at higher and lower pleasures. I think that's pretty important. There was a guy named John Stuart Mill and he published in 1863 a famous high critiqued defense of utilitarianism, which he argued that there are two different kinds of pleasures in life. He called one of them a higher pleasure and he called another one a lower pleasure. So he considered physical forms of pleasure to be lower pleasures. Okay, they're not higher pleasures. Mill considered physical forms of pleasure to be lower pleasures and intellectual forms of pleasure to be the higher pleasures. He considered higher pleasures to be intrinsically superior. So he's saying this mental pleasure is going to be a lot greater than any physical pleasure that you could experience and understand a physical pleasure could be eating, drinking sex, whatever the thing is. Okay, those are lower pleasures, although his argument in support of utilitarianism is highly controversial and I don't agree with it, but his attempt to differentiate between the forms of pleasure on certainly were accepted by the community because it made sense. So a lot of us will go to a job every day. Okay, and you know, it's kind of funny because we'll say well it's not that bad. What's going on Richard? I just sent you a text and I hope you got it buddy. He's saying hello there. We've got a good group of people in here today and guys and I know I'm kind of ranting on on this pleasure thing but please do me a favor put your comments in that chat section. Participate in this. There's a good group of you guys here today and I want to hear from you. I want to hear your input even if you just say good morning like what Richard did. But a lot of people are going to this job every day and they're saying well you know I make okay money and I'm able to pay my bills and it's okay right now. You know when I ask Eric who's this friend of mine who took my old job who's still at you know one of those car dealerships I said are you happy? He says oh no of course not. No, no it's a nightmare every day in this job. I hate it. I hate this job. I mean I can pay my bills and I've made okay money recently but I hate the job and I always ask him which I did not ask him this time. I always ask him why you're doing it because I'm curious. I'm curious. I was in the same industry and I like the people around me with the exception of my boss. I couldn't stand him. I couldn't stand my boss and I want to be honest. You know I have feelings like everybody else and sometimes you just you're around people you just don't like and I didn't like him for a multitude of reasons. He had poor morals and he did drugs and drank too much and womanized all that kind of stuff. But the point was I didn't like him. I didn't like him and that was a motivator for me because I was making okay money. You know I was in my late 40s at the time and I just I started to look long term and I don't know if you guys have done this or not have you looked long term. In other words wherever you're at right now and if you're doing it for 10 years where is it going to take you? Where are you going to end up? Tell me where? Where are you going to end up? Is it going to be in a place that you want to be? Is it going to be a higher pleasure or is it going to be a lower pleasure? Now Eric who has one of my old jobs and actually he got demoted now so he's at a lower level now. He's miserable. He makes okay money. He can just pay his bills. He really can't sock away any money or anything like that but he can just pay his bills okay. Robert Blake what's going on from Philadelphia? Eric seems a chronic malcontent. You know he's a good guy. He's a good guy Robert. He is trading short term pleasures for long term pleasures. In other words like he likes to get off work and go to happy hour and party with the guys. He enjoys doing that but he does not want to take his weekends or his evenings and actually invest in something. Now when I worked at the same location that he did that's what I did. I took my evenings and I took my weekends if I had any because I had to work a lot of weekends and I just invested it and it was difficult. It was hard. I was a single dad okay. I was working you know six seven days a week. I was raising a girl and a boy in addition to that I was a volunteer in the Virginia Beach Rescue Squad. I was an EMT so my days were full. I had plenty of excuses. Plenty of excuses to not do anything more to achieve long term goals. You know it could be and it was for a long time where I would come home and eat dinner and have a couple drinks and watch TV and go to bed and get up the next day and recycle it over and over again and I kept doing that and I kept telling myself you know you don't have enough time to do anything else. You don't have enough time to do anything else and it seemed plausible. It seemed reasonable that I had no time to do anything else and then one night you know and what I would do is I would you know spend time with my kids and I would get them in bed and then I would turn on the TV for maybe an hour or two. That's all I had. I didn't have much time to myself and then one night when I was turned on the TV I said my god I'm watching TV. Right now I'm watching TV. Now this was a big turning point for me because I said if I've got time to watch TV for hour hour and a half then possibly I could do something else. I could maybe change this direction. I'm going fancy Empress you are so welcome to be here. I do want to work for myself one day then you can do it. You can start it today. I'm telling you this is what I did. I worked for many many years for other people and for the past 12 going on 13 years I've worked for myself. I've never regretted a moment of it. I'm not going to tell you that when I quit my job everything was awesome. I'm not going to tell you that I was totally secure and things went well because they didn't. They didn't go well. They didn't go well at all as a matter of fact I lost my shirt okay and I was struggling to pay bills at the beginning but I didn't want to go back to where I was. Robert Blake says things won't change for Eric until he changes. It's all I meant. I am sure he's a nice guy. Oh no no no I didn't take it bad at all Robert. I know exactly what you mean. He is trading these short term pleasures and it's such a sad situation because he's a good guy but he doesn't want to take his little bit of off time so what I started doing in the evenings instead of watching TV for an hour hour and a half I started working on a business. I said I want to sell stuff online and the reason I wanted to sell stuff online I said I don't have to sell it to too many people. You know if I could sell to 10,000 people which seems plausible because there's seven billion people in the world. It seems like I could find 10,000 people to buy something from me and I started selling cell phone cases and I did that for a while. I was not making any money. I was making like 50 cents maybe a dollar on a cell phone case and I would have to put it in an envelope and I would have to ship it out to somebody. The amount of effort I put into it for the amount of money I got back was nothing. I was going negative okay and I would do that for an hour, two hours, three hours at night and I would work on this and I worked really hard on this and at one point I finally said this isn't working and I was still holding down my regular job okay. I hadn't quit my job yet but I said this isn't working because I had this walk-in closet in my bedroom and it was full of cell phone cases that people weren't buying. You know I would buy a particular model or style and two or three people would buy it and then I would have 50 or 100 of them left over and back then it was a drop shipping so I was buying inventory and I was stocking inventory and I was going broke and at that point I could have said to myself hey selling online doesn't work. How many times have people said that? They said well you know what I tried to do something and it didn't work. I tried to do something and it didn't work and I could have said that. I could have said hey selling online doesn't work but my mind said you know what if it didn't work how are all these other people doing it? How is it if I'm doing this and I'm failing at it and other people are doing things online and they're making money at it could it be that it's me and the answer was yeah it was me because I couldn't rationalize that it didn't work though I've had a lot of people tell me hey I've tried to do a YouTube channel hey I've tried to sell products hey I've tried to make courses and that stuff just doesn't work when there is obvious obvious proof all around them that it does work so what we have to do is we got to look at ourselves and go maybe it's me now that doesn't mean anything's wrong with you it doesn't mean you're a bad person it just means you need to change what you're doing to get different results that's it see what Richard says here I put my happiness at my highest criteria for my life and career I had three criteria at 18 this is good stuff guys listen to this number one very flexible hours number two never boring number three no financial limits on how much I could make hourly hey that's some cool stuff I know Richard I've known him for gosh years Richard how long I've probably known you for about seven years maybe I don't know it's been a while I've known Richard matter of fact I used to do in-person trainings for meet-up groups in San Diego when I lived there and Richard showed up at one of them we became friends and we stayed friends for years and he's in real estate so guys if you want real estate stuff check out Richard so I had to come to the realization that I was doing things wrong so a couple of the things I realized I was doing wrong is maybe that product wasn't for me now that doesn't mean that that product's a bad product because still there were a lot of people selling cell phone cases at the time um and those people were doing well so I branched out and I started selling some camping gear and I bought inventory of camping gear I bought everything from little mirrors to magnifying glasses to knives to all these things and I was selling on ebay and I was just starting to get a website and I was doing okay I was making a few hundred dollars a month now some of you may say a few hundred dollars a month that's not doing okay JR that's a total failure but you gotta understand guys it's not a failure if you're doing stuff and you're learning from it because now some days I have six figure days six figure days it's insane right I mean I make thousands of dollars before I have lunch every day but you could say well JR you failed at the other things but I didn't I didn't see here's what I knew all along as I was selling those other things there was a bigger horizon out there there's more stuff out there there was more things I could learn there was possibly new products I could sell so one day I get a call from this guy who's selling some type of freeze dried foods and he's like you want to sell our freeze dried foods and I was like sure why not now I'll sell anything I want to get something going online so I started selling his freeze dried foods and it kind of took off I did four thousand dollars in a month and I was like wow this is pretty cool and then I did like 12,000 and then I did like 30,000 and one month I hit 80,000 dollars and I said this is it this is it I figured my product this guy's foods are my products now I didn't factor in that there was some turmoil going on in the world at that time Fukushima had hit Japan and it had scared the entire world so everybody was buying the survival food stuff now in all fairness this survival food was not good it was not tasty at all but I was making money at it people buy it I was selling it after a while we got so many orders that that company could no longer supply that stuff to us and they didn't tell me that they just quit delivering this stuff I was paying for I had all these orders on eBay and they just quit delivering and it was like three days and then it was a week and it was two weeks and people started complaining on eBay and and I'm telling you my story guys so you understand it didn't always go smooth and finally eBay shut me down they closed all of the listings I had and I had hundreds of them on there and it was like I spent just literally months putting up all these listings and they just wiped them all out in addition to that I was going to these gun shows and I was bringing a lot of my survival food with me and I would sell at these gun shows I'm leaving one morning and I go to pull up my bank account and there were over 20,000 dollars missing in my bank account now I understand I had just quit my job and I didn't have much more than that you know to play with and as it turned out you know PayPal says hey you know you weren't doing deliveries you had a lot of complaints so we need to take reserves out of your account and I didn't know when you tie your bank account to PayPal they can reach back and take money out of your account did you know that so if you have a PayPal account and they get pissed at for whatever reason they can reach in your bank account just take money out and I fought with them and I fought with them because I needed this money and I couldn't get it back I couldn't get the money back and I finally found somebody in England who was helping me out then I found uh oh gosh what do you call it an attorney general in the state of California that was helping me out and they all said you need to write them a letter and I got a form of this letter and I wrote it and I sent it to PayPal and I couldn't get a hold of anybody by the way every time I called they would just send me to somebody else or send me to India or whatever but when I sent this letter within a day I had somebody call me from PayPal and this letter talked about legal things this letter talked about suing this letter talked about getting a lot of people together to you know go against PayPal um and the very next day I got a call from a guy and he was in Nevada and he worked for uh eBay and uh and I tell you the story so that you you don't think it all went smooth because it didn't okay um and I got my money back within a day or two so what there's so many things that have happened here guys I failed at the cell phone I failed at the camping equipment I made some money on the freeze drive but then they they closed down my ads and my ads my listings and then they took money out of my account at any one of these points I could have quit I could have stopped because they were painful events for me okay I didn't and I ended up developing my own brand and now it's sold nationwide uh and we've done millions and millions of dollars of this brand and I branched out and I have this YouTube channel and I have courses and I train people on how to do the same thing that's what I do and I love it it's great but there were many nights where I would be up until you know I get home at eight or nine and I'd be up to midnight or one or two or three in the morning and I had to be at work at eight in the morning you know seven thirty eight in the morning and you say well JR you didn't get much sleep and I'm like you are a very smart person if you notice that you're a very smart person and guys keep putting the comments there in that chat box there's a bunch of you here I want to hear what you've got to say if you've got a story to share this is the time to do it so let's get back to Eric I told you about Eric in the beginning so Eric is on a daily basis he's he's having short-term pleasures he gets his paycheck and that night he goes out to a bar and he has some drinks and maybe on the weekend he takes his family out to a fancy restaurant and they have a steak or something and as he's eating that steak and enjoying that meal he's going this is not so bad I mean the week sucked but look at this on the weekend I can go out with my family and have a nice meal he's trading he's trading these short-term pleasures for real long-term success how many of you are doing that I did it I'm not going to say I didn't do it I had a good job I had a six-figure job okay and I told myself I said where else are you going to make money like this you've got a great job because you're making six figures you know and you you you you were born and raised in a really poor area and you grew up in a bad neighborhood and it was full of crime and you're not around that anymore and you've got a house and you can pay your bills but then in the back of my head I started thinking I started thinking how long am I going to have this as I get older how long are they going to keep me in this job how long are they going to pay me this money what if tomorrow they decided they wanted to take me out of that job but somebody else said could they do it absolutely they could do it absolutely they could do it so I decided that the pain was greater staying there than if I left and that pain was greater than the fear of leaving and understand I'm a single dad I'm raising two kids this is not like I had a lot of security I did not I did not have a lot of security so those of you listening to this right now and you say well jr you don't understand I've got this responsibility and I've got this responsibility I've got this one we all do you're not any different don't tell me that I don't understand because I do understand I've been there I've done that I went through all that stuff and if you're going through all that stuff right now that's even more reason for you to quit your job now I'm not going to tell you you should quit your job today I'm not going to tell you that because you may not be ready to quit today but what are you doing to work towards quitting your job what are you investing in what are you working on how often do you work on it do you work on it for like an hour or two and then set it aside for three months or do you consistently work every single day when I decided I was going to quit my job and I was going to make money online I worked on it every single day every single day now I didn't have much time okay so I had to invest time when I could which was late at night when my kids were in bed and what did I have to give up I had to give up sleep I had to give up television which was a short term pleasure it was it was pleasurable to crack a beer watch tv but you know what I had to give that up because I knew long term I wanted something else do you want something else long term I now sit in a nice home custom home we just built in Texas we have beautiful view out there matter of fact I posted a video of the squirrel running around this morning it's really nice um and every Friday I have lunch with my wife like clockwork I've done this for years I usually posted on Facebook and I'll post pictures of the restaurant and all that and I traded all those late nights all that extra work all that pain all that heartache for what I have now now you say well jr how long will it take me I don't know I don't know but I know one thing if you stay where you're at right now if you stay in a job that you hate right now if you keep doing things you don't like right now you're going to be like Eric and you're going to give away your life because Eric now is getting older and at any point they could fire him and they probably will because he's getting older right and that's what happens when you get older at some point you're going to get pushed out because you're expected to take care of yourself whether you realize it or not nobody's going to take care of you they're just not they're not they're so worried about themselves they never think of you and you say well this company doesn't care about me all they care about is profits exactly and they should that's what a company does they care about profits that's the whole point of a company so if you're crying and going oh my gosh this company doesn't care about me they don't think of me as a person as an individual no they're thinking of themselves as a person as an individual the owner of that business is thinking about supporting his own family the owner of that business is thinking about his own future why aren't you thinking about yours why do you expect somebody else to think of your future for you give me a break it doesn't work that way you know what this is where I lose people because they want to hear that everything's great and then I'm going to motivate them and I'm going to say oh for you and you could just work four hours a week and you're going to become a millionaire it's all BS guys haven't you figured that out yet it's all BS if you don't put in the effort if you don't put in the time if you're not serious if you don't give up something if you don't give up short-term pleasures for long-term goals you're going to end up losing you're going to lose big time okay you're going to lose big time so let's get back to Eric so his son in this motorcycle accident breaks both of his wrist gets charged with a DUI and now guess who's going to have to pay for that because Eric's son has watched his dad Eric's son has watched what his dad's done and his dad worked some hours and he's a great guy I love him good good friend but he's worked some hours and when he's off he's off he doesn't do anything else and his son did the same thing so his son has no money set aside his son is bounced from job to job to job and Eric's going to be stuck paying for his bills is that what you want do you want short-term pleasure okay I described it to you there's studies on this I've explained to you that you've got to give up these short-term pleasures to have these long-term goals and long-term pleasure which is achievement which is security which is all these things that you want but you're expecting some employer to give it to you they're not going to it's not going to happen that way what most people do is they work a job for many many many years okay and then maybe they have some type of retirement from the job for the most part they don't anymore okay they don't or maybe they have a little bit of social security so they work this job for all these years and they don't travel they don't go anywhere they don't have time with their family they're just working this job okay maybe they get a couple weeks off the year for vacation and then when it's all over with when they can't work anymore they settle back and try to trim down their expenses and live off half of what they were earning before or less and now that they've got the time to travel and do things they can't do it and the reason they can't do it is because they don't have any money they can't afford to do it now i've been very fortunate i've been very fortunate because i've made my own fortune i've been very fortunate because i worked on stuff because i gave up stuff when my friends were going out to happy hour and they were doing all that stuff you know and having a good time they they were enjoying themselves and i wasn't i was miserable i was working hard i was trying to take care of my kids i was trying to get something going okay and i did i got something going now this morning it's funny because uh we have some repairs on the house we need to get done uh and they went to come by today and i said no i said on fridays i don't want anybody to show up to the house this is my day with my wife we go out to lunch i don't want to deal with anything else i may do some work today i'm doing work right now i'm doing this video and i'll fairness right um uh robert blake gave us a plus i appreciate that buddy um and you guys keep commenting in there i love these comments and we're nearing the end here and you're going to miss your opportunity to comment but the point i'm making today is you're choosing what your future is with your actions every single day you're either selecting these short term pleasures or you're selecting long term goals if you select short term pleasures you won't have long term goals you won't have long term pleasure okay at lunch a lot of the people would go out to lunch and they would have a really nice lunch i didn't i went to my vehicle and i played on my laptop and i played on my phone and tried to work on my business at my lunch that was my lunch okay i didn't take lunch at night i didn't watch tv i gave up i gave up but i got a much bigger reward and that's what can happen for you too uh fancy impris what would you suggest for someone to start as a business if you had to do it all over again i tell you fancy impris i get this question a lot i mean a lot i actually have some videos on the channel for this about you know what business should you do and i also have some videos on this channel where you can go through it i list a whole bunch of different businesses i would suggest watching some of those but i'm going to give you an answer that doesn't quite answer you and i'm going to tell you this i don't know what's best for you i know this i know you can make millions of dollars online and here's why i know that because i've done right okay so that's that's that's the first part i know i own a survival food company right now it's one of the largest in the united states it's called survival cave food in case you don't know about it uh let me put that in there and i'll just type it in my my computer is really far away in case you guys haven't figured it out yet guys survival cave food and if you google that um and put a dot com on there i can't put links uh in the chat box or they won't let me do it but look up survival cave food um so i own that company and i i also have a bunch of courses online on facebook ads on email marketing on um drop shipping all of these different uh courses i have that i've done and there's i'm going to tell you all this i'm not bragging right now i just want to tell you all this i have a book that's on amazon called the great american food shortage which you should check out let's see check amazon for the great american food shortage okay i've got a book um and i've got some other books when i started out and this is what you're doing uh fancy empress when i started out i didn't know anything about survival food i was selling cell phone cases i didn't know anything about courses i didn't know you could do a course okay um i didn't know about heaven youtube channels i didn't know any of this stuff here's what made me successful and here's what will make you successful get started on anything anything when i started selling cell phone cases i learned how to put a product on ebay okay that's something i learned when you get started all these other things will just open up for you and i know that's so i don't know fluffy or whatever you want to call it but all these things you know the world's going to open up to you but it does it actually does because when i started selling cell uh the survival food i failed at it because the company you know couldn't supply the products i lost all my money but then i started my own brand so that was a good thing and all along the way no matter what happened i said it's a good thing no matter how bad it seemed at the moment and it was a good thing that they didn't supply that food because i got my own brand and i made a lot more money and when i got my own brand i made a lot more money people approached me and said how do you make money online just like you're doing right now fancy and i said you know i started telling them and tell them and then somebody pulled me aside and said hey you need to do a course on this and teach people and do a course and i did a course for clickbank and we did um 300 i think 72 000 in 72 hours with that course but you see i never started off to do that course when i quit my job when i worked late at night i never started off to do any of these things and and i can't i can't impress it to point you enough all the people i know that have done really well online never started off doing what the thing was that they achieved uh i have a friend uh say belki who owns wp wp beginner uh and he actually was building websites and as he was building these websites he all his clients would say well how do you do this and how do you do this so he started making videos on how you do all these things in wordpress and one day he had this epiphany and he says why don't i take all these things that you do in wordpress and put it on the site and call it wp beginner of which that's a huge site now um so it all grew it all grew out of all these problems and things that were happening and now he owns all kinds of software companies multi-volta millionaire the thing is you got to start find something that interests you you know maybe it's makeup maybe you want to do videos on makeup maybe it's fashion maybe it's drop shipping maybe it's uh consulting i don't know it's just start you know people say where do i start i'm like throw a rock and wherever it lands that's where you want to start you once you start all these things are going to open up to you i can promise you they will uh richard says for me seeing inspirational views like penthouse views overlooking south beach helps me dig in to work smart i think that's very very motivational and work hard at times where i work as long as it takes to make my clients happy and i know richard does he does a great job but yeah guys don't think of the work don't think of the work i think too many people think of the work i was at the gym last night and i wasn't going to go to the gym because what did i have going on yesterday i had something going on all day long i just couldn't get to the gym and after dinner at around seven o'clock i was like i need to go to the gym and i didn't think about working out at the gym like richard right he didn't he probably didn't think about the work i thought about what i want to look like what i want to feel like how healthy do i want to be and then i thought well if you want all those things you need to go to the gym and i was there for about an hour and a half about eight thirty quarter or nine and then i was coming back to my house and it's only two or three blocks away because we have a gym in our planned community here but that's another thing i would add to this when you're working on this stuff guys don't think about the work don't think about what you have to do if i were to think of all the push-ups i had to do and i did 225 last night in 15 minutes i do a certain number of push-ups on the minute every minute and i work up to it but if i were to think about that part i wouldn't have gone instead i thought about well do you want to be healthy do you want to feel good you want to look decent okay you would have a longer life you would have quality of life that's what i put in my head and when you're working on this stuff guys it's going to be difficult it's going to be painful other people don't tell you this these gurus are like oh my god it's so easy you just buy my program and you're going to be rich matter of fact we'll do all the work for you come on come on you know better than that right all they're doing is selling their program all of my programs i do that programs for sale by the way you can find it in the description below with us over with all of them tell you you gotta work hard the program's not going to make you rich but if you take the program and apply the effort with the program you could very well become rich whatever your ideal of rich is so that's kind of my message today eric's going to have to fork out a lot of money for his son he's miserable and by the way eric's a lot smarter than me he was a lot quicker than me he was a lot wittier than me he's funnier than me and none of it matters if you don't apply it in your own life having all these talents make no difference i'm a really hard person to beat really hard person to beat why am i hard to beat because i work so damn hard it's hard to beat somebody who won't quit i won't quit i don't care i'm not quitting i'm going to keep working okay people say well jr you don't have to anymore you could sit back and cruise but then what how many days am i going to cruise right i want achievement we have a gentleman that lives not too far behind us and he's a retired guy he was a city worker um and he got into this neighborhood when you could afford this neighbor but you can't even afford it now but you know he's his wife passed away and he just walks around the yard fixing things all day long and i tell the wife if that ever happened to be anything ever happened to you i would sit down and i would try to write every single thing i knew i would try to put it in book after book after book because i want to leave something for other people to look at go oh this is what i need to do because i know a lot more now at 62 than i do at 22 right i mean i picked up a few things i know a few things i learned a few things and if i can give those to other people and they apply them they can get good results too uh jerry what's going on man thank you so much for saying hello uh can canadians be acceptable as affiliates for survival k food well yes and no here yes and no here's the yes part you can certainly sell survival k food the no part is you can't sell it in canada because we can't ship there however you can open a website and you can sell in the us and we can ship it for you in the us if that makes sense in other words you put up a website and you say i have us shipping okay but you could run that from canada that's not a problem at all we have a lot of people doing that and i have canadian retailers um if you were to survive or if you mean you probably did if you were to google survival k food you would find maybe 24 million hits this morning it's it's uh
