Two things will happen from this video and two types of people will appear in the comments....

1. It will wake the right people up who will take action and they know that the world has changed, therefore they know a plan needs to be made.

2. The haters... the ignorant and deluded individual who will deny EVERYTHING that I say...

Just watch, you will see them in the comment. 👀 ⚠

'Be loyal to your employer' has to be amongst the worst piece of advice I've ever heard.

As you requested, update from me: Over 30 videos since I started a channel 6 weeks ago. Over 1k views combined and 30 subs. Not much, but I know I'll get there. I'm planning to focus on delivery and value of my content next few months, and in 2027 I'm launching a product and service. Let's see how many tired dads want to get in the best shape of their lives huh 😅

This is AMAZING! I work full time and I have been getting up at 4:30am every day, 7 days a week to spend a few hours on my side hustles. I run a woodworking business, make books and provide AI solutions for small businesses. 2 out of three are starting to take off and I'm pushing by Next year July that I can leave my 9-5 job behind and build my brands full time.

Video probably needs a disclaimer this thinking works best in countries with good social security nets. I'd go broke trying to do this on my own and have to pay healthcare insurance in the US.

I agree but some of us aren’t monetized and we can’t just quit our jobs. I’m still grinding on YouTube while doing my job.

@patrickcrimi7184 4 weeks ago

You probably understand where I stand as I'm watching your videos, I work for a corpo, just yesterday they closed the positions of 2 managers and they fired them after 20 years of working for them.
They just don't care, the big fishes don't even know your name, they don't know if you were never late, worked extra hours for free, and even if they would, THEY DON'T GIVE A SHIT.
Time to escape the 9-5 job, don't know how yet, but I'm glad that I have this mindset at 33 and not at 55, thank you for your videos brother.

YouTube used to be great til they started pointing the finger at everyone! As soon I got a strike and accused of copying other YouTubers
I quit

Like a job buying a home is a “trap” unless you can buy out right and the same for a car whether new or used.

Another great video Aaron, would love to see a video on what your process has been in the businesses you’ve created. From ideation to creation.

This year has been the year of creation four me and there’s no looking back

I am living in Switzerland. Friends have lost interest in being with me because i don’t have a Job/find a job since two years. And because i receive a tiny bit of pocket money from the social welfare, even more. I have to hear that i am lazy, will never get anywhere etc. It is so sad. But when i tell them i am an Entrepreneur (and i am starting with over 20 noted Ideas) they would laugh and say i should be more realistic! Oh i hate this word! 😢

Dude, people that don't understand business and say that business is risky are as right as the ones that say business is not risky because they understand it. Is not about who's right or wrong. Is all about what works and what doesn't. A business plan can be as complicated as you want it to be but the trick is in execution and learning from mistakes via feedback loops.

The future of AI: stick humans inside a simulation, suck out their blood for energy to fight God at the battle of Armageddon. The end.

This is so real. So much of my family is still so old fashioned in this thinking but some of them have opened up and became more curious about the direction of things now. I am the only one in my family who is a creator and has an online business around it, and no one knows what to really think about that, yet they don’t realise how the world is changing around them. They still live inside that old mindset - they started asking more questions lately and becoming curious and I see that as a win.

People see social media as a social thing, a dead end scroll & addiction and seeing what their cousin had for breakfast on Facebook, rather than an opportunity, and that’s why it’s seen as a terrible thing.

I'm a baby boomer, with a lot of living to still do, God willing. So much development in technology has happened in my lifetime. From hand-cranked telephones, telex machines, accounting machines, working in computer rooms that felt like you'd been sitting in a fridge all day because computers had to be kept cool and so, so much more. We took it in our stride and learnt so much over those decades and still are. I've now started my own digital attraction marketing e-learning business. No more boss for me. And they thought I was over the hill. 😊

I am in data entry and been stuck here for almost 6 years. Hate and know im absolutely replaceable. I have been working on building my own art business with content and such. Thank you for your encouraging words

I quit at 42, travelled the world, and now, in my seventies, I'm still travelling, teaching, and learning. There's no excuse these days for remaining stagnant. If you believe it, you can achieve it!
