Gambling, sports betting, peptides and short term thinking is keeping you broke

Transcript

Gambling, sports betting, peptides and short term thinking is keeping you broke. I've been building companies online for seven years now. And one of the biggest problems that I see that young guys face today is the fact that they want everything to happen in like 90 days. They're jumping around from shiny object to shiny object, they're injecting themselves with peptides so like try to lose weight and get jacked faster. They're gambling, they're doing sports betting, like they're doing everything that is the complete opposite of like long-term gratification. And it's really not possible to get rich in like three months, or honestly even like a year. You can change your life in a year, I would say. You can't get rich, but you can get rich in like three years, five years, which you really couldn't do before. Like we have such an opportunity on our hands right now. And yet still people don't have the patience to like look further out than one year to actually build something sustainable. And then shocker, when they do come into a little bit of money, they semi quickly, they just go and blow it all because they're not actually good stewards of their finances yet. The best advice I can give anyone young that is starting making a little bit of money is to actually zoom out and think about the next like five years.
