 Yup, it's gonna be one of those videos. Cheers. Next. To today's video, right now, I feel it already. We're in goddamn Santorini, Greece. Yeah. If you watch one of my videos from like five months ago, I say, my number one dream destination to travel to is Santorini, Greece. I forgot about that. Yeah, that's true. And we're goddamn here. That's a good point. You know, maybe this should happen. That's true. Rastis, that was in the pool in Hawaii. We both named our top three travel destinations in the world. And Rastis is number one with Santorini, Greece. And we're fucking here right now. And now we're here. Now, let's show a little bit of footage of Santorini that we've seen. Yeah. Oh, shit, so it's B-roll. B-roll. So we're talking over these clips that are showing right now. Right now, we're talking about it. So clips are playing over my voice right now. Correct. So they can't see that I'm doing this. They can't see that I'm pulling my **** out. Okay. Let's move on to the video. Yes. All right. Just quickly mentioned what we've been doing recently. We were just in London for one day. We did our first ever meet-up. We did a fucking meet-up. It was amazing. Yeah. Shout out everyone. Everyone. Edward. Jesse. We're going to put all their faces on the screen, shouldn't we? Yeah. Yeah. John. Charlie. Shiraz. Yup. And it was just an amazing time getting to know these people. It was just so awesome. Yeah. So that was London. Literally for one day. Before that, we were in LA for a whole week. Yes. At Vid Summit. Oh. And once again, absolutely crazy. We got to meet our idol. Our absolute idol, Gary Vee. Look at those smiles on our faces. Look how happy we are. I remember when I was with him, I could not stop smiling. I don't want to say I'm meeting him in person. He's even better in person than he is on Instagram. He's just so nice. He's not really the right thing, but he is. I don't know what the right word is. He's such a good listener. Amazing listener. He's just so personable, even though he's this superstar influencer. Yeah. I fucking love Gary Vee. And we also worked out with someone named Taran Beckham. Check out that video. He's the most famous fitness guy that we've looked up to for years. And we got to do a full workout with him. And he made a whole YouTube video of our workout together. That one. And we plugged our channel on his 300,000 subscriber channel. So Vid Summit was fucking awesome. But now we're here. Let's move on. Before that, we were in Monterrey, Mexico, visiting a micro-side. And we were living in Playa Del Carmen for a month. And that about catches you up to what we've been up to. This is the first time filming a video in like two weeks. I wasn't nervous, but like I feel a little off. I gotta get in my groove again. Yeah. Let's move on to today's video. I'm actually really, really excited about talking about this one. Can I do a third shot? Can we? Yeah, sure. Let's do a third shot. Let's do a third shot. Fuck it. Third shot. On that note, cheers to creating the life that you want. And that's what this video is about. Yeah. That is what this video is about. Woo. Now let's actually get into the topic of this video. So I don't know that's highly yet maybe three things that you need to do to create the life that you want or the three things you need to achieve success, something like that. But there are three points that I really want to talk about and I fucking love these. The first point to create the life that you want is about your environment. Yeah. So your environment either helps you progress or it holds you back. This is the type of shit that you can't learn in a course. No, it's not. But it's like you have to talk to people. It's more important than the course. It's like foundational. And it's something that we've experienced so fucking much. Yeah. For example, at Vid Summit at the Cancun event, when we're around here to help us progress, you fucking feel that. Okay. So you feel it. And when you're around people that hold you back, you feel it too. But if you've only tried one or the other, you don't notice. And we've been in a ton of different environments recently. And each one changes you. For example, when we lived at home with our parents, we both experienced it. We feel like we're the people we were when we used to live at home. When we moved out when we were 18 years old. So when we were 18 years old is what I feel like. And when we were 18 years old, we were in high school. We were fucking losers. We were fucking nobodies. We had fucking nothing going for us. We had hobbies, but no direction, no anything. No motivation. We felt that way because our environment created that. I want to say that if you're in a bad environment, it's not your fault. That's the position you're in in life. And if it's holding you back, that's also not your fault because it's really fucking hard to fight against that. But if after watching this video, you're saying the same bad environment that's holding you back, that is your fault. If you don't make a change. Because it's something you have to do yourself. You can change your environment. If you don't change whatever you want in your life. If you don't take action or initiative to do that, it's your fault. That's really where all this shit stems from. Being aware that you can change anything in your life. That you are in control of everything. Also, if you're 400 pounds, and you believe that's who you are, that's what you are, you're a 400 pound person. No, you can lose 200 pounds. That's something I want to talk about at the next point. Okay. Which is f**k what we booted it out. So it's not spoiling it. And one other thing, if when you hear me say that you're in control of changing your environment, and you say that's not true, you're lying. Comment down below and tell us why. If you're not, tell us why, and I'll tell you how that's not true. For example, you are in control. This is what someone will say. Let me tell you something. It's hard. It's really hard to change that environment. But you're in control. It's not impossible. One thing I think that someone is going to say is my environment, a few names come to mind of our subscribers. Because we're so tight with many of our subscribers that I know their stories. And I love it. Yeah, so they're going to comment. Yeah, I'm in college. I know. I don't want to go to college. I know I'm not going to use this for anything because I want to be an entrepreneur. I want to do what you guys do. I want to do whatever. But my parents won't let me drop out. I can't do anything about that. If I drop out, they won't love me anymore. They won't support me. They won't let me live at home. They won't do whatever. That is a lie. That is a lie. And Gary Vaynerchuk actually talked about this exact example that I just brought up. That's exactly what I was talking about. So let's show some clip of that. Front row seats to Gary Vaynerchuk's keynote presentation. So he brought up this exact point that I just said about kids who want to drop out of college but they won't because their parents say they're not allowed to. And that if they do drop out of college they won't love them anymore. They won't support them or whatever. And then Gary Vaynerchuk says test them. Try them. Because they love you so they won't. It's a threat. And if they don't love you anymore for that maybe they shouldn't be your parents. We're very open minded so we can change how we feel if a good point is brought up. So if you disagree with anything comment down below and tell us what you disagree with. I love having these discussions. So this is something I want to make a full video about which is you're going to college you don't want to be going to college which you do. By British you want to say that if you're going to college and you're in a major that you know for a fact that you're not going to use for your career because you don't want to. Which is so many people. Let me finish. So many people. If you know you're in that situation drop out now or tomorrow. Right now. Yup. That's what I think. And actually this point eventually leads into the third point which we haven't gotten to yet. Yeah it does. Which reminds me we should probably move on to the other points soon. Well briefly I want to say this. The argument for people going to college that don't want to be doing what they're doing but they still choose to go to college is that oh it's a plan B. Yeah that one. That's the most common rebuttal to that and it's so funny because what you're spending 50 hours a week on your plan B. On a plan B. And then your plan A. Stop lying to yourself. Stop lying to me. Stop lying to me. And in the mornings when you have time for it. You know. Yeah. You're literally planning for failure. If you have a plan B you're planning to fail. For the plan A. Especially when you're spending 90% of your time on that. It's insane. I don't make a full video about that but that's just briefly what I think there. Yeah. The first thing is to change your environment by getting out of what's holding you back. Then you also have to get into an environment that's going to help you progress. So to do that you have to get around people that have what you want or have the same goals as you are motivated, something like that. Right? But how the fuck do you do that? I mean I know. Yeah. So you literally have to find these people. The internet. The fucking internet. I cannot for the life of me find these people in real life. For fucking real. I can't just go out in my neighborhood. Like they don't exist. Yeah. You know? Like so few people are like us with the mindset and wanted to actually live the life they want. Yeah. Are not controlled by the society's way of life, right? That whole thing. Right. So the way we have found people that ends around ourselves with is through the internet, mostly Facebook. Like I'm just saying this is actionable, right? Really going fucking Facebook. Facebook groups. Join the Mentored by Millionaires Facebook group which is Mike Vestil's Facebook group. A free Facebook group of people like you and me. She like that. Anyway, so literally make friends with these people in these Facebook groups. Yeah. So you mentioned Facebook groups but the one I like even more is the comment section of YouTube videos. Because the comment section of YouTube videos is a congregation of word that I learned from a book that we're reading. Dot com secrets. Fucking the Holy Bible of online marketing. Yeah, it's insane. It's amazing. A congregation of people who have the same interests as you. And how do we know they have the same interests? Because they're watching the same video as you are. So, and then there are the people commenting. They're the ones who engage. You're the one engaging. Boom. That's my favorite place. Which is where we actually recently made one of our new best friends. Shout out. I know you're watching this video, Zach. Zach is someone who's been commenting on our videos for a long time. Showing hella love. Yeah. Just crazy supportive. And then he lives in LA. So when we went out for a bit, something we met. And we didn't just meet. We lived together. Yeah. For six days. And now it feels like we've known each other for years. Yeah. Which is pretty crazy. No, because we're so fucking on point when it comes to mindset and what we want. Like he's different from everyone else. Yeah. You know? I can't tell that he's for real. And those are the kinds of people you need to surround yourself with. Point number one, we should wrap it up and move on to point number two. Wrap up point number one. To create the life that you want, you have to get out of the bad environment. If you're in a bad environment and go into a good environment. You are in control of it 100%. And then go out and find like-minded people. Point number two to create the life that you really want. In one word. In one word. Is sacrifice. Yes. Right? Everyone who has the life that you want super successful, they've made so much sacrifice that no one will ever hear about. No one will ever see. Because it's all behind the scenes. No one will ever see it anywhere. And I want to briefly talk about the sacrifices we've made. Because people don't know that. I think people, people like our old friends will hit us up. They're like okay, this is pretty cool what you guys are doing. Can you help me out maybe? And I'm like sure. Like I'd love to. I really would love to. There are specific names but we won't mention names. It's just specific people. I really would love to and I will. So then I do. And the first thing I say is give up this, this, this. Work as many hours as you can to save up money so you can find your online business. And then they're like oh shit that's what this takes. Oh that's what this takes. Then we never hear back from them again. So going on to your point but after that I want to mention the biggest things that people won't sacrifice. The biggest things that people yeah they don't want to let go. They're not willing to let go of to create the life that they want. So say what you're going to say. Which was oh the sacrifices that we've made in our lives. We've made tons of sacrifices. Without even realizing it almost it's only like now once you look back oh shit I used to do this, this, this and this all the time. I enjoy doing all those things but I don't do them anymore. Which kind of sucks. But it is what it is. I'll talk about the time when we first built our first online business which was our publishing business. So this is why we were going to college. So let's just talk about this shit like shit life we had. We ate shit when we were doing that. So we were living at home with our parents. Full-time college students was at 40 hours a week. 10 classes. So shit like that. We were 4.0 students so we studied our asses off. Literal 4.0 GPA both of us. It's not because we're smart and everyone else it's just because we work hard and everyone else. I made everything in college. And we work hard and everyone else because we're more motivated than everyone else. That's where everything stems from, your motivation. I found everything in college I found a way to turn all into memorization. And memorization is just repetition and it's just time. You can talk about that forever. We also have part-time jobs. I was working four days a week delivering Chinese food. Two and a half hour shifts. And I remember while I was driving delivering Chinese food I could listen to music or whatever but I would listen to podcasts and Stephen Jennings. And then also in the meantime when I did not have deliveries I remember sitting in my car going through my notes. School notes. School notes that I took studying for classes. That's what I was like. I had two part-time jobs. One was working front desk secretary at a physical therapy office which fucking sucked. Like it was a good job compared to other shit but it was still just fucking horrible. I just have such a distasteful opinion towards jobs. Jobs in general. Although delivering Chinese food is like the best job ever in my opinion. And I also deliver Chinese food. That was actually that was an awesome job. That was a sick job. That was a sick job. Full-time students two part-time jobs and then we were building our businesses when we had time to do that. At that time I was doing dropshipping I was doing my dropshipping business. I was literally waking up every morning before class working on it building the website. This was back in 2016. Answering emails doing whatever and then at night before bed until usually 11 or 12 fucking computers and then wake up the next morning start as soon as we got up. You know? And one thing this doesn't even include is gym life. Anyone who says they don't have time to go to the gym you're lying. Yeah, you're a big fat liar. It's not just on fire. Pants on fire. It's just not a priority for you. So we were doing all that as well. Okay, let's just point out the fact that people probably don't realize that we have been going to the gym for eight years straight with never taking more than seven to ten days off in a row like for recovery purposes normally ever in eight straight years I think we're put nine come Christmas. Well, I took like six months off because I had meningitis. Yeah, you had that. But I feel like that's a fair excuse. Meningitis is a bad disease that you can die from. Yeah. Two nearest experiences. But anyway. And here are all the things we gave up in that time and since then ever since then we've given up all these things. TV. Have not watched TV. Don't watch TV. Video games. Have not played video games. Don't play any video games. You play Pokemon Go all the time. I play Pokemon Go. When I'm out. Sports. Sports. I love watching sports. World's biggest Brooklyn Nets fan, Yankees fan, Jets fan. Don't watch any of the games anymore. I love football. I love watching Sunday Night Football. Not Sunday Night Football but just football all day on Sundays. There's barely even time to keep up with sports scores and shit like that. Yeah. So don't watch any sports anymore. Fantasy sports was my life. Fantasy football, fantasy baseball, fantasy basketball. If you ask the people in our leagues because we've been playing with the same people for the last five or six years they fucking hate us now because they're not active. I know. We don't have time to be. We don't have time to be. I just can't be. We used to be the most active. Yeah. Because like when I enjoy something I give it 100%. I just have this all or nothing mentality that gets applied to everything in life. Yeah. And then I also want to talk about the sacrifices we made while building our YouTube channel when we first started. We posted a video every other day for five months. Straight. Without. It came out to like 70 videos without missing a motherfucking upload. Not a single upload. But our life in that time consisted of filming and editing. That's basically all we did. Yeah. Because we didn't work on our Kindle businesses anymore. No one sees what we had to say no to in that time. Mm-hmm. You know how many adventures we were invited to go on? We were living in Hawaii. Yeah. We were invited to do everywhere. We were always getting invited to, oh, let's go surfing. Let's go North Shore. Let's go in this awesome hike. Let's go to this waterfall. Hawaii is, you had to say fucking no to 90% of it. Hawaii is the most highly densely populated of fun activities in the world. That didn't make much sense but you know what I mean. The last thing I want to say on the point of sacrifice this doesn't only apply to entrepreneurship. This applies to every area of your life. Or anything good. For example, let's say fitness. Anyone who has an incredible body you do not see all the shit that they've done to achieve that. They had to sacrifice so much. And for example with us we've lost over 50 pounds. Oh, both of us. We used to weigh, I weigh about 160. I gained one bit of weight. I'm like 167 now. I used to weigh 155-ish. I used to weigh 205 pounds. Same. I've lost over 50 pounds. Yeah. I lost 55 pounds at my most. People don't see what it takes to do that. People always ask for pictures of us at our fattest but we like don't have them. I know. Which is, and I know I remember why. Mm-hmm. So when I was at 205 I was at a very strange point in my life. That was like the bottoming out point. I was fucking embarrassed for what it was. I did not want there to be any proof or any pictures or videos of me. And that was the one time we were ever apart in our lives. There was this one month stretch and at that point I blew that 205. It wasn't because of that. It was a fucking weird time and I don't have pictures of myself from then. We're going to talk all about this in another video. We're going to make like a whole backstory video talking about shit like that because there's actually a lot to learn from the things we've gone through. Yeah. I want to say when we lost the 50 pounds people don't understand we both counted everything we ate. We waited out and counted everything we ate for a whole year. So if you say you can lose weight try counting setting a calorie count count all of it and follow a plan like that and then tell me you can't lose weight. But oh that is All I'll say is people just don't understand you have to sacrifice so much to get these incredible results. People will say oh but that's not enjoyable or I don't want to. Like, yeah exactly. You think I want to do it? You think I want to waste my time? Kind of shit? But no that's what it takes for me at least to get the best results. I want to end the second point on one of my favorite quotes and that is if you want to have results that no one else has you have to be able or you have to be willing to do things no one else will do. That's real shit. It's real fucking shit. Third point is so the third point is not really a thing you have to do to achieve the life that you want it's more just a point that I want to talk about right? And that is it's fucking scary. Like it's scary doing these things that it takes. For example telling your parents like defining your parents dropping out of college for us the big thing for us the thing that really changed our life was down on the YouTube channel. That changed our fucking life and I want to say that was the biggest fear in my life up until then was being on camera. Nothing scared the shit out of me more than that. It took us eight months of literally every week like alright time to start the channel now we'll start on Friday no we'll start on Monday we'll start on Wednesday we went like that for eight months it took eight months before we actually did it I want to stress how I felt about this before we started just the thought of being on camera made me made my heart race I swear it was fucking like that and if you feel the same way everyone I know I did I felt the exact same way like it's super fucking scary and this goes back to the point that if you want what people most people don't have you have to be willing to do what most people won't do and that is to overcome your fears such as that same note to your parents drop out when everyone is gonna fucking judge you do everything like that the third point is really just being aware of the fact that it's scary and hard it's like some people some people sit there watch the video and they think like they'll think that exactly it's scary and hard and they think that that's that's not normal that that's not how it's oh I can't do it because it's that way like no just be aware it's supposed to be that way yeah so so just whatever you want in your life you can do it but it's fucking hard and it's scary and it's like that for everyone mm-hmm this rooster won't shut the fuck up it works thank you see I don't want to spend too much time on the last point I just want to say that right just be aware that it's supposed to be that way like everything and there's even right now there's things that I want to do I'm honest and it scares the shit out of me so I'm kind of procrastinating with some of it like what I'm still fucking scared of public speaking mm-hmm you know and I know that's when we have to improve on it and the only way to improve on it is by doing it you know we did it in Cancun yeah we got the first taste of it and I was not happy with our performance that's just what it is it takes practice I know like any incredible public speaker they was not born that way they put in so much practice mm-hmm and they were so scared and then they overcame it and you can learn to deal with anything so I just want to end on that point okay so that covers those three points what I really want to say is something we've not mentioned is we got a brand new fucking camera like can you tell I hope you can tell comment down below and let us know if you can tell because this show is expensive we've been with our iPhone forever now we got a real camera we got a Sony A6300 yeah we have there's so many buttons and widgets I have no idea how to calibrate it for like the perfect game we just kind of set it up and hit record I hope it's filming right now yeah our first 90 something videos all shot from iPhones mm-hmm all from iPhones this is the first video for like a professional camera hopefully it looks good uh so what that said magic emoji of the day is the camera it's the camera emoji oh perfect drop that camera emoji perfect in honor of this new camera so the iPhone camera was great and all but this shit is a is a next level oh yeah so this is a level it's a level the videography is going to we want exactly we want to level of our YouTube games so we got a camera that can help us with that all right let's set the fuck up we'll see you guys in the next video maybe give a little view of what we can see this is what this is what we've been looking at the whole time whoa it's not the epic Santorini white houses and all it's no that's on the other side yeah you know people really know the other side of the white sled yeah but there's the ocean right there it's the Mediterranean right there okay all right guys we will see you in the next video goodbye like comment okay see ya
