 So how long does it take to actually change your life with publishing? This is a question that I really want to answer because there's a lot to say. There's a lot to say, and a lot of people ask a similar question like how long does it take me to make my money back? How long does it take to make 2k a month? How long does it take? And it's like, I can't answer like that. But how long does it take to change your life? Because that's what it really comes down to. That's what I want to do for people with publishing. I want them to achieve. So that's what I want to talk about. And I think the answer will definitely surprise you guys. I think it will. Alright, shall we sit down and talk about it? Let's do that. Alright, let's answer the question. How long does it take to actually change your life? I'm stressing change your life. You might not like what we have to say on this topic. With publishing. Because that's what it did for us. So I can speak about how long it took for us. And the answer is at least, at the very least one whole year. One whole year of grinding your fucking tits off. Sacrificing. Until your tits literally detach from your body. When that happens then you're grinding hard enough. And then sacrificing so much. And we've said this before, I think a lot of people don't really know what the sacrifice means. Working on your business in your spare time is not sacrifice. People ask like that's sacrifice. Like, oh just giving up Netflix is not sacrifice. I don't want to fucking act like I was the hardest working motherfucker. I gave up everything in my life for this shit. I don't want to act like that. I used to be a fan of and like think that the Gary Vee mindset was the right way. Well it's just grind grind grind. Like the hardest worker gets the best results. I've learned that that's actually a complete lie. And it's bullshit and it's not true at all. And there's a way better way. And the way better way is it all stems from here. Well I used to take pride in being the person like I got the success because I worked harder than you. I worked harder than you. I worked harder than you. I put in more hours and got up earlier than you. I used to take pride in that's why I'm successful. Which is true. Which is true. But it is. But that's why I used to take pride in. Now I don't take pride in that. Now I take pride in I have a bigger business than you and I worked 10 times as not hard as you. And I had the most fun doing it. By doing other shit in Bali. Going to waterfalls and just eating food and having fun. But that's honestly not at all what this video is about. So it takes one whole year. And the reason why and good look the point where it right now like what I was saying. Is that right now we're not grounding our fucking faces off like that and hating every day. Like we're in the beginning but we're about to real soon. Going from zero. Going from zero to something is by far the hardest part of the entire process. Yup. It's like a plane taking off the ground. In the beginning is when it needs all the fuel. All the. And then it goes off. But yeah. When it's in the air it's just cruising. Now I think you can articulate it better than that. I'm not as plane specialist. But I think it requires the most fuel to go from on the ground to one inch off the ground. Yeah. I think that requires the most fuel. Then all the other inches. I'm just going off the sound of the engine. Yeah. Which is the. So it clearly requires the most. But it's the same thing in our business. And with the polishing. When you're in the air you're cruising. You just cruise. For real. We could 2019 work like an hour a week. We could if we wanted to. We would not grow very much. We would not make a lot more money. We would not reach work towards our goals. But we could. Once again. Without our money depleting. Once again that's not the point in this video. Fuck sorry. But the reason we are making this video is because we have so many people. Like when they just discover us or they just discover publishing. They just discover online business. People are always asking questions like how fast until I can make 10k a month. So 10k and what they want is 3 months from now. That's what they want. In 3 months? You want a 10k passive a month. Do you understand that $10,000 a month is going to change your life. You cannot change your life in 3 months. Especially when you're asking questions like that. You know they're not the type that's just going to put their head down and sacrifice everything in their life. Because they just want it fast and they want it now. And they want to put in not a lot of money a lot of time. But as I was saying before to go from zero to a thousand. Zero to something I'll say a thousand. Is by far the hardest part when it comes to entrepreneurship. And I just want to say it took us about 1 year to change our life. When I say change your life. I mean you go from having a life where you're working a job. For us to go to college. To a life where you can fucking travel and do whatever you want. That's the life changing. When we moved to Thailand that was the first move. When we moved to Thailand. So you can make enough money online to quit your job. And then also fun travels and a life doing really cool shit. That to me that's my definition of changing your life. So that's all I can call it. So that's what I'll speak on. Is how long does it take to get to that point. At least 1 year of going hard as fuck. And I'm cool you want to talk about like the journey from zero to become successful in publishing. And why most people do not become successful in publishing. Publishing is the easiest, simplest, best for beginners. All these things. High success rate. But the people who are failing at publishing will fail. Or already have failed at every single other business opportunity they've ever attended. There are these people. It might be you watching this video. You might be the person who you like. I've tried Amazon FBA. I've tried having a draft shipping store. I've tried publishing. I've tried this. I've tried that. I've tried making YouTube videos. I've tried affiliate marketing. A million things. Working works. None of it works. I can't. It's a work. Okay. It's all scam. These people making money online and living these lives. It's not real. It's fake. No. It's not fake. You are the problem. And it's because you aren't putting in what it takes. It's not because you aren't working hard enough. It isn't necessarily not working hard enough. Not putting in enough hours. That's not a difference maker. Like anybody can work a lot of hours. It's these other intangibles that come into play. For example, being afraid to invest money. That's a huge one. That is a massive one. Like in publishing, you got to invest a few racks, bro. Invest a few racks. Other things is when roadblocks come up, when problems come up. So many people instantly like, oh, I don't know how to handle it. I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do. You fucking find a solution to everything and then you just keep on going. It's like some people can't just stay focused on one thing and then just go, go, go. And not let shit stop them. Like when there comes a roadblock, they make it stop them and then, okay. Well, publishing wasn't for me. Let me try shipping instead. Let me try this other one instead. Instead of seeing it as a speed bump, do you have obstacles that will slow you down? Absolutely. All the time. Literally every day. Okay. But like for us, I know for a fact anything I get into, I will be successful. I don't give a fuck what anyone thinks. Like I know that. And it's just about one, you need focus. Just staying on one thing. Stop having this, what's it called golden shiny object syndrome. Always need to try the world's next greatest thing. Like when people come to you with business opportunities and you're in publishing, just be like, okay, cool. But I have no interest in it because publishing is my thing. Okay. And just having that mindset of I ain't going to let shit stop me. I ain't going to let anything stop me. Let's say, oh, but I ran out of money. I don't have money. Don't let that stop you being there. Watch the interview we did with Surage. Don't let that stop you being there. I've heard people, that's like the most inspiring interview they ever heard and I agree. Yeah. His story is insane. I get a big argument like, oh, okay. I have these other things. I'm not letting it stop me, but I ran out of money. So I have to stop. I can't do it. You don't have to stop. Then write your own books. I'm just publishing as an example. Write your own books. But then comes the, oh, I can't write my own books. It's just all in your fucking head. It's all this, it's excuses. It's reasons why you can't do this and that. Like you have to, you have to overcome all those things. It's overcoming all these fucking things that'll make you successful within 12 months. I don't get back on how long it takes to change your life of publishing one whole year. I'm just talking about us. Let's talk about us. Last thing. Yes. I'm just passionate about actually helping people. And then it comes in the form of rants. And like what's always worked well with me is getting ranted on and getting shit on like that. I don't work well with like, oh, it's gonna be okay. You're gonna do it. It doesn't work. It doesn't work for me. It doesn't work for a lot of people. Like you need to be shit on and you need the truth and you need reality. So changing our life of publishing when we went from nothing to then we could travel when we moved to town for the first time. That's where our life really changed from it. Right? We started, I started August 2016 by the way. Yeah. So it's gonna take you at least one whole year. So for us, we were publishing and we sacrificed so much at that time. It didn't feel like so much. But now looking back, I had absolutely no social life at all. We did not hang out with friends ever. No. Ever. We did not go out to eat ever. We lived at home. We found the best like option for us. The best, the way that we could save the most money and that was living at home. As much as I hate living at home, I did it. And then we go to college classes. I was working by job delivering Chinese food. And then working as much as I can and just putting all of that money back into publishing. Yeah, for real. So something I sacrificed and sacrificed now. You know what is a massive part of my life? You see this tattoo right here? This is a Brooklyn Nets tattoo. Brooklyn Nets was life as well. From sports. From 2009 to 2000. We love baseball, love football. From 2009 to 2015, I watched every single Nets game. That shit was life. I still fucking love it. Dude, I haven't watched a Nets game in I don't know how long. I know. Massive Yankees fans as well haven't watched Yankees game in I don't know how long. I just had to give that up. And at first that was really hard. I literally did not want to live a life where I couldn't do it. I was like fuck. No, that's not worth it. We talked about that. I would rather live a life with sports in my life than do this other stuff. But then eventually that changed. When we were at home in that phase, the phase of getting off the ground that really requires a lot. I'm telling you right now, the beginning is the hardest. Like when you're at this point, when you have time and you do have money to play around with, everything is a lot easier. But in the beginning, it was a shitty life. But I enjoyed it because there was hope. There was hope and motivation. What are you doing? I'm doing some dual screen action. Now this is... Well, let's take a wipe from the point that I'm saying. Okay, go. Like we were living this shitty life back then. It looked shitty and it was shitty. But I enjoyed it because there was so much hope. There was so much hope and motivation. There was purpose. Purpose, hope and motivation. So that just made it still a good time because we were working towards this thing. So this is the last point that I want to end on. And that is to people that will hear us say you have to spend at least, at the very least one whole year of working your fucking face off to make this work and to change your life. If one whole year of sacrifice is not worth it for you, then get the fuck out of here. Then you don't deserve to have your life changed. That sacrifice is one whole year. One whole year in the moment is a long time and it's hard. But you have some fucking perspective of your whole life. Then you deserve to be a civilian. You deserve to work a nine to five, work for someone else. Always dream about living this different life. Because you won't actually do shit about it. So this could be a whole conversation about people who talk. People actually do shit about it. There's a big group of talkers in the world. We have a roommate, Gavin, who we talked to about this kind of stuff. And when he looks at us, he's like, guys, you kind of have like the fastest success I've ever seen. You kind of like an incident success. So that's really kind of the only perspective I have. But with him, he's 32 years old right now. Not until this year is he getting to a point where he's making really good money and he's finally living his fucking dream life. He's trying to have eight years. But he never fucking stopped. At least one year. At the very least. It could take more. But let's get even, let's say you're 24 and then you work your face until you're 30. That's still in the perspective of your whole life, not a long period of time. So at least one whole year, publishing books, investing everything that you're making back into more books. And I won't put a figure, a number of figure on how much it is to change your life. Maybe you have your own number for that. Okay fine, I will. I'll say what I think is life changing. $5,000 a month. I think that is a life changing amount. You can literally come to Bali, live a fucking badass life in Bali. You can travel all around the world really. Not, you know, at the snap of fingers whatever you want. But you can do a lot. Plus, you guys know what I just want to quickly say. Publishing is not the end goal. Then also use that money to fund your next business which will then create so much more money for you. Link in the description for some publishing training. That's the end of this video. Magic Emoji is the guitar. And that's this video. I want to enjoy it. Drop comments down below. Let's get some more engagement. Let's talk, let's do this thing. Hey! Can I just end on this? Now you can do it. No.
