00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:13,760
175 subscribers. Last month on April 3rd, I said that I was gonna have 200 subscribers
2
00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:22,560
and I was willing to put in the work. I was doing daily uploads. 30... I uploaded 30 videos
3
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:28,800
and I did not reach my goal. However, I am ecstatic because there's a book I read called
4
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:38,240
Ask by Ryan LeVec and that book is so great. The first half of it was basically his life story
5
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:43,440
and then the second half was the actual reason why I bought the book, which was to learn how to
6
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:49,040
actually build a business and a product that people will actually want and people that actually need.
7
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:54,800
But I didn't even read the second half. I read maybe one chapter of the second half because
8
00:00:54,800 --> 00:01:00,880
that's all I needed at the time. I read the entire first half of his story and it was amazing.
9
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:10,720
Pretty much. I learned that he has this thing where he sets a massive goal and then he's like,
10
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:15,360
oh, I don't even know if I can do this, but I'm gonna work my butt off to actually get it.
11
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:23,520
And afterwards, by let's say he sets a goal for three weeks time and then three weeks passes
12
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:28,800
and he didn't achieve the goal. He's still super happy because he made so much progress.
13
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:34,320
And that was exactly my mindset when I said that I was gonna reach 200 subscribers.
14
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:41,600
First of all, I know that I will eventually get hundreds of thousands of subscribers,
15
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:49,840
more than that. But right now, my skills are terrible. I suck. It's obvious. So I have to be
16
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:56,240
realistic and I hate that word, but you have to be realistic until your skills catch up with your
17
00:01:56,240 --> 00:02:05,440
actual mindset. So my mindset is like millions of subscribers, but my skills are 175 subscribers.
18
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:10,320
And one month ago when I was setting my goal, I said 200 subscribers.
19
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:17,200
And that means that I would have to gain 75 subs in one month, which by the way,
20
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:22,000
in the month before that, I only gained 13 subscribers. And then the month before that,
21
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:29,200
I only gained nine. So that means that I would have to pretty much 10x my growth in one month.
22
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:35,520
And I was ready for it. And I put in that work. And the thing is that I basically
23
00:02:36,640 --> 00:02:43,440
spent the whole month building my work ethic. I did six hours minimum of work every day,
24
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:50,640
except for one rest day a week. So six days a week, at least six hours of work every day.
25
00:02:50,640 --> 00:02:57,120
And then I would just read for the rest of the day. And I built up my work ethic. And eventually,
26
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:02,880
towards the end of the month, I realized what was holding me back because I wasn't making the progress.
27
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:10,000
I was at like 150 subs a couple days ago. And I realized what was holding me back. It was the fact
28
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:14,960
that, first of all, my ideas are not that great. I'm repeating the same thing over and over again.
29
00:03:15,920 --> 00:03:21,040
I'm basically making the same content. It's not really original anymore, because I already made it.
30
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:28,720
And second of all, they suck. The videos suck. There's no reason why people should watch it till
31
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:34,720
the end, much less watch past 30 seconds. So it counts as a view. And that's when I saw a,
32
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:40,480
there's this YouTube course that I'm part of. And it's a community of YouTubers like me who are
33
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:48,720
trying to grow and build an audience. And there's this one guy who just started YouTube maybe two
34
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:55,920
months ago. I started 10 months ago. And this man started two months ago. And on his first view,
35
00:03:55,920 --> 00:04:03,120
or on his first video, he gained 1000 subscribers. His first video got 50,000 views or 100,000 views.
36
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:10,320
And that is why I realized that my videos suck. I'm not giving the viewer any reason why they
37
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:16,080
should watch it, much less watch till the end. And so I saw this guy's video, his first video.
38
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:20,960
And I wasn't even going to watch it. I was fully conscious. I was like, okay, I'm just going to
39
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:26,640
watch the intro to see what he does. And I was hooked. It wasn't even my type of video. It was
40
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:32,080
a volleyball video. And it was like anime and stuff like that. And I was like, I'm not really into
41
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:38,640
this, but I was hooked. I wasn't even his viewer. And I was hooked. And that's when I wrote down
42
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:43,520
to my journal. I did this maybe one and a half weeks ago, I wrote down in my journal. That's
43
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:48,880
my next focus. Figure out the intro, give the viewer a reason to watch till the end. And so
44
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:56,560
that's when I went on this huge study session, I pretty much dropped everything. I finished making
45
00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:03,760
the rest of my videos so that I could complete the daily upload for the whole month. Excuse me.
46
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:09,120
I pretty much finished making all the rest of the videos for the rest of the month so they could
47
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:15,840
just roll out on their own. But I stopped working. I literally stopped working altogether. I was,
48
00:05:15,840 --> 00:05:23,040
I spent an entire 30 days straight waking up going downstairs, while my breath stank. I didn't even
49
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:27,600
do anything. I didn't even make my bed. That's, that was my big thing that I did for the past 10
50
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:33,760
months, where I always made my bed. I always, I don't have a normal bed. So I basically
51
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:38,880
fold up all my blankets and put them in my closet every single day I did that, no matter what.
52
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:45,920
And that was my big thing. It was like a way that I set the day right. But I stopped doing that
53
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:51,120
because work was more important. So I literally just left my room while it was all dirty and went
54
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:58,160
downstairs and worked for 30 minutes. I said my whole daily routine in the last month's update.
55
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:04,640
So you can go listen to that. But basically I stopped doing that routine, even though I gained
56
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:10,880
so much growth out of it, because now I'm able to work eight hours a day, nine hours a day,
57
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:18,960
I stopped. And you know what I did? I spent 10 hours in my room every day. The last time I did
58
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:24,240
that was when I was addicted to video games. I know I'd spend 10 hours playing video games.
59
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:30,160
But now life feels like a game. Life is literally starting to feel like a video game. I've heard
60
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:37,120
about this so many times. People, a successful entrepreneur is saying, I mean, business is
61
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:42,080
just a game. And I always thought it was like a metaphor. But then people said, like, this is real,
62
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:45,920
like it actually feels like a game. And once you get there, you'll start to notice. And I'm
63
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:51,600
starting to notice. I'm starting to realize, oh, this is like a game. I spent 10 hours in my room
64
00:06:51,600 --> 00:07:02,320
every day for probably five days straight studying. What I did was I went downstairs and got a sheet
65
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:10,240
of paper and pulled up Mr. Beast's YouTube channel. He's the most successful YouTuber on the planet.
66
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:19,120
And I pulled up his YouTube channel and wrote down maybe 25 of his most popular video titles.
67
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:26,080
Wrote all that down on one sheet of paper. And then I flipped it over. And then I found all of the
68
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:35,920
most popular titles in my niche. So basically my genre of basically what type of content I'm
69
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:40,720
making self improvement. Mr. Beast is a general entertainment YouTuber. I'm a self improvement
70
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:49,040
YouTuber. So I went and found the most popular self improvement YouTube videos. And I wrote down
71
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:57,360
all their titles like 25 titles. And once I did that, I went upstairs and literally just
72
00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:07,040
wrote them down over and over and over and over again for hours. So much so, I was writing down.
73
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:12,800
I'm a righty. I was writing down with my right hand for so long it started to go numb.
74
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:21,760
But I needed to study. So I said, All right, left hand, I started writing with my left hand.
75
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:29,040
It took me probably 20 minutes in the beginning to write a full paragraph with my left hand,
76
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:36,000
which would have taken me maybe four minutes or five minutes with my right hand. I am ambidextrous
77
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:45,920
now. I learned how to write with my left hand because I have been studying so hard. And I
78
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:51,920
learned I never learned how to study in school because I always did good no matter what I never
79
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:59,360
studied. But now I'm studying I basically my study method is I literally just write the same title
80
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:05,280
over and over again. So I go through the entire list of titles and then flip to the other side
81
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:11,120
where it's all of the self improvement titles. And then after that, I have this there's this guy
82
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:18,720
that I talked about last episode where he is my exact dream customer and he has this he wrote this
83
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:26,960
whole amazing comment that is it takes seven minutes for me to write it down, like completely
84
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:32,320
write it down in my journal. And I've probably written down that comment word for word in my
85
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:41,440
journal at least 20 times. I am not exaggerating. I exaggerate a lot of times. But I am not
86
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:46,880
exaggerating when I say I wrote this guy's comment down 20 times because I am trying to
87
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:56,480
mold my mind to become the most like the best entrepreneur possible. And in order to do that,
88
00:09:56,480 --> 00:10:02,080
you have to know your dream customer. And I am not my dream customer. My dream customer is a 35
89
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:09,040
year old dad. I am not 35 years old. I am not a dad. So I have to do some crazy methods to
90
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:18,720
basically learn what it's like. And that was my routine. I basically would write down one entire
91
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:25,440
like I would write down the 25 Mr. Beast titles and then I would write down the 25. Oh wait, no,
92
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:30,400
no, restart that I would write down the 25 self improvement titles. And then I would write down
93
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:37,760
the 25 Mr. Beast titles and then I would write down that entire YouTube comment. That is all I did
94
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:44,640
for days. And I did that for probably the first three days. And then I realized that I wasn't
95
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:52,160
even improving my intros. My intro is what I needed. Because remember when I said how I saw
96
00:10:52,160 --> 00:11:00,480
that video of that volleyball guy who had a YouTube video his first YouTube video hooked me. So that's
97
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:09,520
what I needed intros. So what I did was I went on to Mr. Beast YouTube channel again. But this time
98
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:16,960
I only went on to four videos before I wrote down 25 video titles but now I chose four very
99
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:22,240
specific videos. Two of his most popular ones. It was the Squid Game one and then also the Last
100
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:31,680
Sleeve the Circle one. And then I also chose two of his still amazing ones, amazing videos but more
101
00:11:31,680 --> 00:11:41,200
recent ones. And it was the ages one through a hundred choose or decide who wins or something like
102
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:48,880
that. And then there was also another one called $10,000 every day you survive in a grocery store.
103
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:56,160
And I basically what I would do was I would go onto each of those videos, write down the title,
104
00:11:56,160 --> 00:12:02,080
and then I would pull up the transcript. So the actual words that they say. And then I literally
105
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:09,280
wrote them down all on a sheet of paper. And that took a long time. I would do the first 30 seconds,
106
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:15,440
not the entire video, just the first 30 seconds of each of them. And once I did that, I had an
107
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:22,000
entire sheet of paper filled with perfect intros, literally like near perfect YouTube intros because
108
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:27,920
they're getting hundreds of thousands or hundreds of millions of views. I'm getting hundreds of
109
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:34,560
views, barely hundreds of views. Mr. Beast is getting hundreds of millions. So these intros I
110
00:12:34,560 --> 00:12:44,000
copied down. And then after that, I went into four YouTube videos that were not actually my niche,
111
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:50,240
but they were part of the education niche. So basically on YouTube, there's the there's the
112
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:54,800
entertainment, which is Mr. Beast and basically videos that are just for entertainment. And then
113
00:12:54,800 --> 00:13:00,080
there's education, videos that are for education. So my videos are for education, they educate people.
114
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:06,080
And there's other educational YouTubers in other niches. For example, there's this one guy who
115
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:13,600
has this script writing YouTube education niche. So he basically teaches how to write a perfect
116
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:23,760
YouTube script. And one of his videos I really liked. So I basically copied his intro down on my
117
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:33,040
sheet of paper. And then I also copied one of Alex Hormozzi's intros down for one of his videos.
118
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:41,280
And then two videos from Eman Gaji. And basically, what I would do is now that I had all of these
119
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:47,840
video intros copied down, I went back up in my room, locked myself in my room for the next three
120
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:54,960
days straight. And I would follow my routine, I would wake up before I even before I even made
121
00:13:54,960 --> 00:14:01,440
my bed, I would literally throw all my blankets off of my bed, and immediately open immediately
122
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:08,800
turn on the light immediately open my journal and lay in my bed, which is the floor. So lay on the
123
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:16,560
floor and start writing down an entire paragraph of a YouTube 30 second intro transcript.
124
00:14:16,560 --> 00:14:21,760
And then after that would shower do that and then I would go back into my room for the next four
125
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:28,080
hours or five hours and just keep writing those down. I, I didn't even know if it was working.
126
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:33,920
I did not even know it was working. And I kind of I was just like, okay, I'm just going to do this.
127
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:42,560
Hope that it works. I had no reason to suspect it would work, because I was literally just writing
128
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:51,520
down stuff. But I kind of knew that it would work. And it did, because I just recently made
129
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:58,320
a video, which I'll get to in a moment, because there's one important thing that I didn't mention
130
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:04,320
earlier. And after a while of doing that, I kind of started to stress out, I kind of started to be
131
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:15,360
like, Oh, man, I suck at YouTube. And so I, I went on this YouTube community, this YouTube course
132
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:20,960
of a bunch of people who I mentioned earlier, a bunch of people like me who are trying to grow
133
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:27,760
their YouTube channels. And there was this one guy, he was a consultant, basically a YouTube
134
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:35,920
consultant, and he was running an agency. And he was basically trying to find leads. And so he
135
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:44,880
posted a comment saying, saying, comment your YouTube channel in the description, or sorry,
136
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:51,280
comment your YouTube channel. And I will give you a free audio. So he'll basically tell you
137
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:57,440
a suggestion for free. So at first I was like, I don't know, whatever, I saw that before. But
138
00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:05,200
then I went back, and I commented my channel. And it was already 18 days old, that that post was,
139
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:10,800
so I'm not sure if he was going to respond. So I just forgot about it. And then the next day,
140
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:17,840
I went back and checked. And I see that I received like seven DMs from this guy, he messaged me
141
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:23,840
privately like seven times. And then I went, I didn't even read those yet. I went to the comment
142
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:31,760
to see if he gave me a tip, because he gave every single person a tip, he would say, oh, make better
143
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:40,080
thumbnails, oh, better upload schedule or whatever. But then there was my name, and he did not give
144
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:48,320
me a tip. And then some person who responded after me, he gave him a tip. So basically,
145
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:54,160
he saw my comment out of the hundreds that he already responded to, and he didn't respond
146
00:16:54,160 --> 00:17:00,080
to mine. I was the only person out of the hundreds that he did not respond to. But he sent me seven
147
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:06,640
DMs, and none of them were giving me tips. And so that basically made me think, oh, shoot, I've got
148
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:10,720
something special here, which I already knew that I had something special on my YouTube channel. But
149
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:16,480
the fact that all of these other people are like, he didn't give any other person attention, except
150
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:23,760
for me. I got seven DMs from him asking if I wanted to join a call with him so he could be my
151
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:31,520
consultant. And so I was hype, because I saw that he had a customer review, like, someone gave him
152
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:39,280
a, someone sent a video basically saying that he was good. And so I was like, all right, I signed up
153
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:45,280
for a call and the next day I hopped on a call. And he was terrible. I'm not even gonna lie. He,
154
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:53,440
I could tell that he didn't really know what he was doing. And this is coming from someone who
155
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:57,600
does not know what they're doing. I don't know what I'm doing on YouTube, obviously, because I have
156
00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:03,600
less than 1000 subscribers. I have less than 100,000, like even 1000 subscribers, you still don't
157
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:08,320
know what you're doing. But I knew that he didn't know what he was doing because I mean, I use
158
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:13,440
common sense. He was showing me a bunch of people that he was working with. For example, one channel
159
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:20,720
that he had helped, he's been working with for the past four years. Four years ago, it blew up
160
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:26,960
with one short, one video that was 30 seconds long, got 50 million views. And his channel got
161
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:32,480
one million subscribers from it. So for the past four years, he said that he's been working with him
162
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:37,440
and that he's kind of been like doing his own thing, whatever. But I saw his channel and he has
163
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:43,200
a million subscribers and he's getting less views than I am. His shorts, his videos are getting
164
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:52,080
literally five views, five views worse than I am. And he has a million subscribers. I have 100
165
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:56,960
subscribers. I'm getting more. So that's all I knew that this guy doesn't know what he's talking about.
166
00:18:56,960 --> 00:19:01,360
That's common sense. I don't have to know anything about YouTube to know that he doesn't know he's
167
00:19:01,360 --> 00:19:06,880
talking about. So he was like, yeah, at the end of the call, he was like, yeah, do you want to
168
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:14,480
work with me? And I was like, no, I'm not gonna. And then, well, no, to be honest, I gotta be honest
169
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:20,800
with you. I should have said that. I should have said no right off the bat. But I was too much of a
170
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:28,240
wuss to say no and to reject him while we were in a call. So I said, I'll think about it. Which,
171
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:35,600
as I, as those words came out of my mouth, I, I just felt like an idiot because that is the worst
172
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:42,400
thing to say to a salesman. Because that is a no. And it just means that you're indecisive. It means
173
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:45,920
that you don't, you're not going to make any decisions. And if you want to be successful,
174
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:49,760
you have to be able to make decisions and you have to be able to say no to people. And so I
175
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:56,240
basically just violated one of the laws of success. But I made up for it because the next day, I,
176
00:19:56,240 --> 00:20:01,840
I texted him, I DMed him and I said, you know what, I thought about it and I don't want to work with
177
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:08,720
you. I wish you the best of luck. And he responded, he was chill. So respect. But the point of the
178
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:16,000
story is not all of that. I just spent way too long talking about that. But the point of the story
179
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:22,480
is the fact that the end my entire, have you ever felt like the entire world is,
180
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:28,480
oh, there's a perfect word for it. Oh, conspiring. Have you ever felt like the entire world is
181
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:34,160
conspiring not for your defeat, but for your success? Like right now, I feel like everything
182
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:40,160
is going perfectly for me. Like random things are happening that I could never have done on my own,
183
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:46,640
which makes it so I'm going to be successful. And so let me explain what I mean by that.
184
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:56,720
In that story, I just told you, I posted my channel on this guys on this post. And that was the only
185
00:20:56,720 --> 00:21:02,800
time I ever commented on anything. And I've been in that in that community for months. That was the
186
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:08,000
first time I ever commented. And I received and I told you the story of what happened. But then
187
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:12,960
something else happened. Some random guy who I thought was a salesman, because he was like,
188
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:18,400
hey, he just texted me, hey, how are you doing? And I was like, Oh, that's kind of weird. He's
189
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:23,360
probably trying to sell me something. So but I just went on with it. And I just said hi. And we
190
00:21:23,360 --> 00:21:26,800
had a conversation over the course of a couple of days. But then out of the blue, he said,
191
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:33,360
have you tried Darryl Eve's YouTube formula? And I didn't even know what what that was. I didn't
192
00:21:33,360 --> 00:21:39,360
even know if that was a person or if that was like a thing, because he kind of spelled it wrong. And
193
00:21:39,360 --> 00:21:45,040
he was spelling with all lowercase. And it was it was weird. So I dismissed it. I was like,
194
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:50,880
All right, whatever, screw this guy. And I just ignored him. But then a couple of hours later,
195
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:54,080
I went back onto my computer. I was like, You know what, let me just look this up.
196
00:21:55,280 --> 00:22:00,880
Just I wasn't even thinking about it. I just looked it up. And I discovered Darryl Eve's.
197
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:08,560
This man is the number one YouTube consultant in the world. And let me tell you, I went onto his
198
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:16,240
website, and he was selling a book. It was a funnel, selling a book. And there was a video
199
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:22,960
of Mr. Beast I mentioned many times before, the most famous, the most successful YouTuber on the
200
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:30,160
planet, Mr. Beast said that he is his consultant. And he said that there's only two or three people
201
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:36,720
in the entire world who understands YouTube more than Darryl Eve's does. So with that said,
202
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:44,560
he has a book called the YouTube formula on how to be successful on YouTube. And this is the exact
203
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:50,960
book I needed. Mr. Beast said that if you read this book, you'll know everything you need to be
204
00:22:50,960 --> 00:23:00,000
successful on YouTube. And so as you can guess, I was ecstatic. I was so hype. And I didn't
205
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:07,520
but I didn't have any money. I had no money to buy it. I did I actually have $50 in my bank account,
206
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:18,320
but I need all of that to be able to pay for subscriptions for this podcast costs $15 a month
207
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:25,680
to keep online. And then I also pay for Canva, which is like that's absolutely essential.
208
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:32,240
Actually, it's not even that essential anymore. But it's very useful for me. And then I also pay
209
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:38,160
for chat GBT, which I could I could get rid of because I don't really use it anymore. But I need
210
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:45,520
all my money. And so I was like, Okay, I got to get this book. And I was willing to I was prepared
211
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:53,360
to buy it. Like I was prepared to cancel chat GBT and go buy it. And so I like went upstairs and
212
00:23:53,360 --> 00:24:00,400
and went to my mom and I talked to her and I said like, Hey, can can you just buy this book with my
213
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:08,320
card on Amazon? Like I had no intent on trying to get her to buy me buy it for me. Like to be honest,
214
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:14,080
I do sometimes do that. I'm going to be completely real with you. Sometimes I try and play the little
215
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:20,720
sneaky game and say, Hey, like, can you get this for me? But this time I genuinely was going to buy
216
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:30,240
it for myself. And so I was like, Okay, well, can you just buy this for me on my card? But she knew
217
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:35,200
how much money I had. And she was like, No, I'm just gonna buy it for you. I was so hype. So she
218
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:40,560
bought it for me and it arrived. And this whole time while I was waiting for it to come, it took
219
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:48,240
two days. I was studying. And I was kind of falling apart. Because I didn't know what to do on YouTube
220
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:52,880
because I realized that this whole time I've been making trash videos, I've been spending like five
221
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:58,880
hours on each video for it to get 10 views. And so I didn't know what to do. But I was just studying,
222
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:04,160
I was doing my best I could waiting for the book. And then the day it came, it was at nighttime. So
223
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:12,160
I fell asleep and then I woke up and I studied that book all day. And the first thing so I started
224
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:17,920
with chapter 10 and 11. And I read those and then I read the entire and I read the beginning of book.
225
00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:24,800
Because I heard someone say that you should start with 1011. So I read that and the first tip was
226
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:31,200
a specific tip. And I took action on every single tip that he gave on chapter 10 and 11.
227
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:38,800
And I made an entire video based off of those tips. And they were like the actionable steps.
228
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:44,960
And that video is called actually forgot what it's called. Let me let me check. I just finished
229
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:53,360
making it this morning. And it's called social media will end your kids. One of my most popular
230
00:25:53,360 --> 00:25:59,360
videos is a video on social media. So that's why he said to make a video on that topic of your most
231
00:25:59,360 --> 00:26:03,760
popular video. So I did that. And then I followed some other tips. And this was the first time where
232
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:09,360
I actually implemented what I've been studying of learning the intro so you make me making a better
233
00:26:09,360 --> 00:26:16,240
YouTube intro. And I got to say this is the best video I've ever made. And I just finished it today.
234
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:22,720
Today is May 2nd. And I am not even sure when I'm going to when I'm going to post it. I have not
235
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:28,960
even scheduled it because I'm trying to buy time so I can just read this whole book during my work
236
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:37,280
day and be able to just figure out my new direction over the course of the next couple of days.
237
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:46,400
And be able to maintain a one week ahead of time schedule. It's whatever. Basically I have this
238
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:51,600
awesome video the best one that I've ever made which every single pretty much every single one I
239
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:59,120
feel like that way. But I actually think that this video will get at least 2000 views. I've only
240
00:26:59,120 --> 00:27:07,600
ever gotten 2000 views once. But I think this video will get 2000 views. And that is basically
241
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:15,840
that's basically what I have to share with you today. Oh actually one more thing. I have a whole
242
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:24,720
plan on the first law the first lesson in Napoleon Hill's law of success in 16 lessons. The first
243
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:30,560
the first lesson is a definite aim. And I basically went through that the first time I read the book
244
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:37,120
maybe four or five months ago. And then I went through it again to like a couple weeks ago. And
245
00:27:37,120 --> 00:27:45,280
I have this whole definite aim this whole very elaborate plan written down on a piece of paper
246
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:54,080
that's taped to my wall. And right now I'm in the current stage where basically my goal is to get
247
00:27:54,080 --> 00:28:07,680
100 dad stories which is basically 100 people 100 dads sharing their stories to me. And to give an
248
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:16,160
example of what I mean by that I mentioned this guy who this my dream customer this the first dad
249
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:20,880
who commented on one of my video one of the first dads who comments on one of my videos
250
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:29,920
was maybe a month and a half ago. He commented that entire post. And that's the guy that I wrote
251
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:37,600
down. I copied his post his comment down at least 20 times by hand on my journal.
252
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:47,920
I want to receive 99 more of those. Now for the past couple weeks I've been tracking it every
253
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:54,960
single night before I go to bed. I write down was today a good day. Like did I do enough work today?
254
00:28:54,960 --> 00:29:04,160
Yes or no. Like did I give it my all. And pretty much five days out of six it would be a yes.
255
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:12,720
And then one guy or and then the next thing I say is how many dad stories did I collect.
256
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:17,680
And for the past couple weeks I've been saying one one one every single day I literally write
257
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:27,360
down one. And I realized that I actually collected maybe three or four more without even noticing
258
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:32,080
because they weren't in the same like elaborate structure as the first one that I got. So I was
259
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:38,480
dismissing them all but I do have dad stories. So I do have maybe three or four out of 100.
260
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:44,960
And the reason behind all of this is because I want to get 100 so that I know exactly what type
261
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:51,840
of product and what I know exactly how to solve the issue. I know exactly how to help dads.
262
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:57,440
And that is what is going to be the foundation to my million dollar business.
263
00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:02,800
And I know exactly what you're thinking right now. What is this 18 year old kid thinking
264
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:05,840
million dollar business. He's going to make a hundred thousand dollars a year.
265
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:10,800
Million dollars a year. What does he think. Well you'll just have to wait and see because
266
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:16,800
it is possible and it will be done.
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:13,760
175 subscribers. Last month on April 3rd, I said that I was gonna have 200 subscribers
2
00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:22,560
and I was willing to put in the work. I was doing daily uploads. 30... I uploaded 30 videos
3
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:28,800
and I did not reach my goal. However, I am ecstatic because there's a book I read called
4
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:38,240
Ask by Ryan LeVec and that book is so great. The first half of it was basically his life story
5
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:43,440
and then the second half was the actual reason why I bought the book, which was to learn how to
6
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:49,040
actually build a business and a product that people will actually want and people that actually need.

00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:54,800
But I didn't even read the second half. I read maybe one chapter of the second half because
8
00:00:54,800 --> 00:01:00,880
that's all I needed at the time. I read the entire first half of his story and it was amazing.
9
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:10,720
Pretty much. I learned that he has this thing where he sets a massive goal and then he's like,
10
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:15,360
oh, I don't even know if I can do this, but I'm gonna work my butt off to actually get it.
11
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:23,520
And afterwards, by let's say he sets a goal for three weeks time and then three weeks passes
12
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:28,800
and he didn't achieve the goal. He's still super happy because he made so much progress.
13
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:34,320
And that was exactly my mindset when I said that I was gonna reach 200 subscribers.
14
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:41,600
First of all, I know that I will eventually get hundreds of thousands of subscribers,
15
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:49,840
more than that. But right now, my skills are terrible. I suck. It's obvious. So I have to be
16
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:56,240
realistic and I hate that word, but you have to be realistic until your skills catch up with your
17
00:01:56,240 --> 00:02:05,440
actual mindset. So my mindset is like millions of subscribers, but my skills are 175 subscribers.
18
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:10,320
And one month ago when I was setting my goal, I said 200 subscribers.
19
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:17,200
And that means that I would have to gain 75 subs in one month, which by the way,
20
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:22,000
in the month before that, I only gained 13 subscribers. And then the month before that,
21
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:29,200
I only gained nine. So that means that I would have to pretty much 10x my growth in one month.
22
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:35,520
And I was ready for it. And I put in that work. And the thing is that I basically
23
00:02:36,640 --> 00:02:43,440
spent the whole month building my work ethic. I did six hours minimum of work every day,
24
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:50,640
except for one rest day a week. So six days a week, at least six hours of work every day.
25
00:02:50,640 --> 00:02:57,120
And then I would just read for the rest of the day. And I built up my work ethic. And eventually,
26
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:02,880
towards the end of the month, I realized what was holding me back because I wasn't making the progress.
27
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:10,000
I was at like 150 subs a couple days ago. And I realized what was holding me back. It was the fact
28
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:14,960
that, first of all, my ideas are not that great. I'm repeating the same thing over and over again.
29
00:03:15,920 --> 00:03:21,040
I'm basically making the same content. It's not really original anymore, because I already made it.
30
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:28,720
And second of all, they suck. The videos suck. There's no reason why people should watch it till
31
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:34,720
the end, much less watch past 30 seconds. So it counts as a view. And that's when I saw a,
32
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:40,480
there's this YouTube course that I'm part of. And it's a community of YouTubers like me who are
33
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:48,720
trying to grow and build an audience. And there's this one guy who just started YouTube maybe two
34
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:55,920
months ago. I started 10 months ago. And this man started two months ago. And on his first view,
35
00:03:55,920 --> 00:04:03,120
or on his first video, he gained 1000 subscribers. His first video got 50,000 views or 100,000 views.
36
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:10,320
And that is why I realized that my videos suck. I'm not giving the viewer any reason why they
37
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:16,080
should watch it, much less watch till the end. And so I saw this guy's video, his first video.
38
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:20,960
And I wasn't even going to watch it. I was fully conscious. I was like, okay, I'm just going to
39
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:26,640
watch the intro to see what he does. And I was hooked. It wasn't even my type of video. It was
40
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:32,080
a volleyball video. And it was like anime and stuff like that. And I was like, I'm not really into
41
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:38,640
this, but I was hooked. I wasn't even his viewer. And I was hooked. And that's when I wrote down
42
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:43,520
to my journal. I did this maybe one and a half weeks ago, I wrote down in my journal. That's
43
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:48,880
my next focus. Figure out the intro, give the viewer a reason to watch till the end. And so
44
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:56,560
that's when I went on this huge study session, I pretty much dropped everything. I finished making
45
00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:03,760
the rest of my videos so that I could complete the daily upload for the whole month. Excuse me.
46
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:09,120
I pretty much finished making all the rest of the videos for the rest of the month so they could
47
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:15,840
just roll out on their own. But I stopped working. I literally stopped working altogether. I was,
48
00:05:15,840 --> 00:05:23,040
I spent an entire 30 days straight waking up going downstairs, while my breath stank. I didn't even
49
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:27,600
do anything. I didn't even make my bed. That's, that was my big thing that I did for the past 10
50
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:33,760
months, where I always made my bed. I always, I don't have a normal bed. So I basically
51
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:38,880
fold up all my blankets and put them in my closet every single day I did that, no matter what.
52
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:45,920
And that was my big thing. It was like a way that I set the day right. But I stopped doing that
53
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:51,120
because work was more important. So I literally just left my room while it was all dirty and went
54
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:58,160
downstairs and worked for 30 minutes. I said my whole daily routine in the last month's update.
55
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:04,640
So you can go listen to that. But basically I stopped doing that routine, even though I gained
56
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:10,880
so much growth out of it, because now I'm able to work eight hours a day, nine hours a day,
57
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:18,960
I stopped. And you know what I did? I spent 10 hours in my room every day. The last time I did
58
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:24,240
that was when I was addicted to video games. I know I'd spend 10 hours playing video games.
59
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:30,160
But now life feels like a game. Life is literally starting to feel like a video game. I've heard
60
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:37,120
about this so many times. People, a successful entrepreneur is saying, I mean, business is
61
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:42,080
just a game. And I always thought it was like a metaphor. But then people said, like, this is real,
62
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:45,920
like it actually feels like a game. And once you get there, you'll start to notice. And I'm
63
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:51,600
starting to notice. I'm starting to realize, oh, this is like a game. I spent 10 hours in my room
64
00:06:51,600 --> 00:07:02,320
every day for probably five days straight studying. What I did was I went downstairs and got a sheet
65
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:10,240
of paper and pulled up Mr. Beast's YouTube channel. He's the most successful YouTuber on the planet.
66
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:19,120
And I pulled up his YouTube channel and wrote down maybe 25 of his most popular video titles.
67
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:26,080
Wrote all that down on one sheet of paper. And then I flipped it over. And then I found all of the
68
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:35,920
most popular titles in my niche. So basically my genre of basically what type of content I'm
69
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:40,720
making self improvement. Mr. Beast is a general entertainment YouTuber. I'm a self improvement
70
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:49,040
YouTuber. So I went and found the most popular self improvement YouTube videos. And I wrote down
71
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:57,360
all their titles like 25 titles. And once I did that, I went upstairs and literally just
72
00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:07,040
wrote them down over and over and over and over again for hours. So much so, I was writing down.
73
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:12,800
I'm a righty. I was writing down with my right hand for so long it started to go numb.
74
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:21,760
But I needed to study. So I said, All right, left hand, I started writing with my left hand.
75
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:29,040
It took me probably 20 minutes in the beginning to write a full paragraph with my left hand,
76
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:36,000
which would have taken me maybe four minutes or five minutes with my right hand. I am ambidextrous
77
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:45,920
now. I learned how to write with my left hand because I have been studying so hard. And I
78
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:51,920
learned I never learned how to study in school because I always did good no matter what I never
79
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:59,360
studied. But now I'm studying I basically my study method is I literally just write the same title
80
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:05,280
over and over again. So I go through the entire list of titles and then flip to the other side
81
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:11,120
where it's all of the self improvement titles. And then after that, I have this there's this guy
82
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:18,720
that I talked about last episode where he is my exact dream customer and he has this he wrote this
83
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:26,960
whole amazing comment that is it takes seven minutes for me to write it down, like completely
84
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:32,320
write it down in my journal. And I've probably written down that comment word for word in my
85
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:41,440
journal at least 20 times. I am not exaggerating. I exaggerate a lot of times. But I am not
86
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:46,880
exaggerating when I say I wrote this guy's comment down 20 times because I am trying to
87
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:56,480
mold my mind to become the most like the best entrepreneur possible. And in order to do that,
88
00:09:56,480 --> 00:10:02,080
you have to know your dream customer. And I am not my dream customer. My dream customer is a 35
89
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:09,040
year old dad. I am not 35 years old. I am not a dad. So I have to do some crazy methods to
90
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:18,720
basically learn what it's like. And that was my routine. I basically would write down one entire
91
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:25,440
like I would write down the 25 Mr. Beast titles and then I would write down the 25. Oh wait, no,
92
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:30,400
no, restart that I would write down the 25 self improvement titles. And then I would write down
93
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:37,760
the 25 Mr. Beast titles and then I would write down that entire YouTube comment. That is all I did
94
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:44,640
for days. And I did that for probably the first three days. And then I realized that I wasn't
95
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:52,160
even improving my intros. My intro is what I needed. Because remember when I said how I saw
96
00:10:52,160 --> 00:11:00,480
that video of that volleyball guy who had a YouTube video his first YouTube video hooked me. So that's
97
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:09,520
what I needed intros. So what I did was I went on to Mr. Beast YouTube channel again. But this time
98
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:16,960
I only went on to four videos before I wrote down 25 video titles but now I chose four very
99
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:22,240
specific videos. Two of his most popular ones. It was the Squid Game one and then also the Last
100
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:31,680
Sleeve the Circle one. And then I also chose two of his still amazing ones, amazing videos but more
101
00:11:31,680 --> 00:11:41,200
recent ones. And it was the ages one through a hundred choose or decide who wins or something like
102
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:48,880
that. And then there was also another one called $10,000 every day you survive in a grocery store.
103
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:56,160
And I basically what I would do was I would go onto each of those videos, write down the title,
104
00:11:56,160 --> 00:12:02,080
and then I would pull up the transcript. So the actual words that they say. And then I literally
105
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:09,280
wrote them down all on a sheet of paper. And that took a long time. I would do the first 30 seconds,
106
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:15,440
not the entire video, just the first 30 seconds of each of them. And once I did that, I had an
107
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:22,000
entire sheet of paper filled with perfect intros, literally like near perfect YouTube intros because
108
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:27,920
they're getting hundreds of thousands or hundreds of millions of views. I'm getting hundreds of
109
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:34,560
views, barely hundreds of views. Mr. Beast is getting hundreds of millions. So these intros I
110
00:12:34,560 --> 00:12:44,000
copied down. And then after that, I went into four YouTube videos that were not actually my niche,
111
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:50,240
but they were part of the education niche. So basically on YouTube, there's the there's the
112
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:54,800
entertainment, which is Mr. Beast and basically videos that are just for entertainment. And then
113
00:12:54,800 --> 00:13:00,080
there's education, videos that are for education. So my videos are for education, they educate people.
114
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:06,080
And there's other educational YouTubers in other niches. For example, there's this one guy who
115
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:13,600
has this script writing YouTube education niche. So he basically teaches how to write a perfect
116
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:23,760
YouTube script. And one of his videos I really liked. So I basically copied his intro down on my
117
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:33,040
sheet of paper. And then I also copied one of Alex Hormozzi's intros down for one of his videos.
118
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:41,280
And then two videos from Eman Gaji. And basically, what I would do is now that I had all of these
119
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:47,840
video intros copied down, I went back up in my room, locked myself in my room for the next three
120
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:54,960
days straight. And I would follow my routine, I would wake up before I even before I even made
121
00:13:54,960 --> 00:14:01,440
my bed, I would literally throw all my blankets off of my bed, and immediately open immediately
122
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:08,800
turn on the light immediately open my journal and lay in my bed, which is the floor. So lay on the
123
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:16,560
floor and start writing down an entire paragraph of a YouTube 30 second intro transcript.
124
00:14:16,560 --> 00:14:21,760
And then after that would shower do that and then I would go back into my room for the next four
125
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:28,080
hours or five hours and just keep writing those down. I, I didn't even know if it was working.
126
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:33,920
I did not even know it was working. And I kind of I was just like, okay, I'm just going to do this.
127
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:42,560
Hope that it works. I had no reason to suspect it would work, because I was literally just writing
128
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:51,520
down stuff. But I kind of knew that it would work. And it did, because I just recently made
129
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:58,320
a video, which I'll get to in a moment, because there's one important thing that I didn't mention
130
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:04,320
earlier. And after a while of doing that, I kind of started to stress out, I kind of started to be
131
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:15,360
like, Oh, man, I suck at YouTube. And so I, I went on this YouTube community, this YouTube course
132
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:20,960
of a bunch of people who I mentioned earlier, a bunch of people like me who are trying to grow
133
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:27,760
their YouTube channels. And there was this one guy, he was a consultant, basically a YouTube
134
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:35,920
consultant, and he was running an agency. And he was basically trying to find leads. And so he
135
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:44,880
posted a comment saying, saying, comment your YouTube channel in the description, or sorry,
136
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:51,280
comment your YouTube channel. And I will give you a free audio. So he'll basically tell you
137
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:57,440
a suggestion for free. So at first I was like, I don't know, whatever, I saw that before. But
138
00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:05,200
then I went back, and I commented my channel. And it was already 18 days old, that that post was,
139
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:10,800
so I'm not sure if he was going to respond. So I just forgot about it. And then the next day,
140
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:17,840
I went back and checked. And I see that I received like seven DMs from this guy, he messaged me
141
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:23,840
privately like seven times. And then I went, I didn't even read those yet. I went to the comment
142
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:31,760
to see if he gave me a tip, because he gave every single person a tip, he would say, oh, make better
143
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:40,080
thumbnails, oh, better upload schedule or whatever. But then there was my name, and he did not give
144
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:48,320
me a tip. And then some person who responded after me, he gave him a tip. So basically,
145
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:54,160
he saw my comment out of the hundreds that he already responded to, and he didn't respond
146
00:16:54,160 --> 00:17:00,080
to mine. I was the only person out of the hundreds that he did not respond to. But he sent me seven
147
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:06,640
DMs, and none of them were giving me tips. And so that basically made me think, oh, shoot, I've got
148
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:10,720
something special here, which I already knew that I had something special on my YouTube channel. But
149
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:16,480
the fact that all of these other people are like, he didn't give any other person attention, except
150
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:23,760
for me. I got seven DMs from him asking if I wanted to join a call with him so he could be my
151
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:31,520
consultant. And so I was hype, because I saw that he had a customer review, like, someone gave him
152
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:39,280
a, someone sent a video basically saying that he was good. And so I was like, all right, I signed up
153
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:45,280
for a call and the next day I hopped on a call. And he was terrible. I'm not even gonna lie. He,
154
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:53,440
I could tell that he didn't really know what he was doing. And this is coming from someone who
155
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:57,600
does not know what they're doing. I don't know what I'm doing on YouTube, obviously, because I have
156
00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:03,600
less than 1000 subscribers. I have less than 100,000, like even 1000 subscribers, you still don't
157
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:08,320
know what you're doing. But I knew that he didn't know what he was doing because I mean, I use
158
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:13,440
common sense. He was showing me a bunch of people that he was working with. For example, one channel
159
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:20,720
that he had helped, he's been working with for the past four years. Four years ago, it blew up
160
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:26,960
with one short, one video that was 30 seconds long, got 50 million views. And his channel got
161
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:32,480
one million subscribers from it. So for the past four years, he said that he's been working with him
162
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:37,440
and that he's kind of been like doing his own thing, whatever. But I saw his channel and he has
163
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:43,200
a million subscribers and he's getting less views than I am. His shorts, his videos are getting
164
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:52,080
literally five views, five views worse than I am. And he has a million subscribers. I have 100
165
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:56,960
subscribers. I'm getting more. So that's all I knew that this guy doesn't know what he's talking about.
166
00:18:56,960 --> 00:19:01,360
That's common sense. I don't have to know anything about YouTube to know that he doesn't know he's
167
00:19:01,360 --> 00:19:06,880
talking about. So he was like, yeah, at the end of the call, he was like, yeah, do you want to
168
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:14,480
work with me? And I was like, no, I'm not gonna. And then, well, no, to be honest, I gotta be honest
169
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:20,800
with you. I should have said that. I should have said no right off the bat. But I was too much of a
170
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:28,240
wuss to say no and to reject him while we were in a call. So I said, I'll think about it. Which,
171
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:35,600
as I, as those words came out of my mouth, I, I just felt like an idiot because that is the worst
172
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:42,400
thing to say to a salesman. Because that is a no. And it just means that you're indecisive. It means
173
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:45,920
that you don't, you're not going to make any decisions. And if you want to be successful,
174
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:49,760
you have to be able to make decisions and you have to be able to say no to people. And so I
175
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:56,240
basically just violated one of the laws of success. But I made up for it because the next day, I,
176
00:19:56,240 --> 00:20:01,840
I texted him, I DMed him and I said, you know what, I thought about it and I don't want to work with
177
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:08,720
you. I wish you the best of luck. And he responded, he was chill. So respect. But the point of the
178
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:16,000
story is not all of that. I just spent way too long talking about that. But the point of the story
179
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:22,480
is the fact that the end my entire, have you ever felt like the entire world is,
180
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:28,480
oh, there's a perfect word for it. Oh, conspiring. Have you ever felt like the entire world is
181
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:34,160
conspiring not for your defeat, but for your success? Like right now, I feel like everything
182
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:40,160
is going perfectly for me. Like random things are happening that I could never have done on my own,
183
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:46,640
which makes it so I'm going to be successful. And so let me explain what I mean by that.
184
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:56,720
In that story, I just told you, I posted my channel on this guys on this post. And that was the only
185
00:20:56,720 --> 00:21:02,800
time I ever commented on anything. And I've been in that in that community for months. That was the
186
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:08,000
first time I ever commented. And I received and I told you the story of what happened. But then
187
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:12,960
something else happened. Some random guy who I thought was a salesman, because he was like,
188
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:18,400
hey, he just texted me, hey, how are you doing? And I was like, Oh, that's kind of weird. He's
189
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:23,360
probably trying to sell me something. So but I just went on with it. And I just said hi. And we
190
00:21:23,360 --> 00:21:26,800
had a conversation over the course of a couple of days. But then out of the blue, he said,
191
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:33,360
have you tried Darryl Eve's YouTube formula? And I didn't even know what what that was. I didn't
192
00:21:33,360 --> 00:21:39,360
even know if that was a person or if that was like a thing, because he kind of spelled it wrong. And
193
00:21:39,360 --> 00:21:45,040
he was spelling with all lowercase. And it was it was weird. So I dismissed it. I was like,
194
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:50,880
All right, whatever, screw this guy. And I just ignored him. But then a couple of hours later,
195
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:54,080
I went back onto my computer. I was like, You know what, let me just look this up.
196
00:21:55,280 --> 00:22:00,880
Just I wasn't even thinking about it. I just looked it up. And I discovered Darryl Eve's.
197
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:08,560
This man is the number one YouTube consultant in the world. And let me tell you, I went onto his
198
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:16,240
website, and he was selling a book. It was a funnel, selling a book. And there was a video
199
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:22,960
of Mr. Beast I mentioned many times before, the most famous, the most successful YouTuber on the
200
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:30,160
planet, Mr. Beast said that he is his consultant. And he said that there's only two or three people
201
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:36,720
in the entire world who understands YouTube more than Darryl Eve's does. So with that said,
202
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:44,560
he has a book called the YouTube formula on how to be successful on YouTube. And this is the exact
203
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:50,960
book I needed. Mr. Beast said that if you read this book, you'll know everything you need to be
204
00:22:50,960 --> 00:23:00,000
successful on YouTube. And so as you can guess, I was ecstatic. I was so hype. And I didn't
205
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:07,520
but I didn't have any money. I had no money to buy it. I did I actually have $50 in my bank account,
206
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:18,320
but I need all of that to be able to pay for subscriptions for this podcast costs $15 a month
207
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:25,680
to keep online. And then I also pay for Canva, which is like that's absolutely essential.
208
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:32,240
Actually, it's not even that essential anymore. But it's very useful for me. And then I also pay
209
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:38,160
for chat GBT, which I could I could get rid of because I don't really use it anymore. But I need
210
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:45,520
all my money. And so I was like, Okay, I got to get this book. And I was willing to I was prepared
211
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:53,360
to buy it. Like I was prepared to cancel chat GBT and go buy it. And so I like went upstairs and
212
00:23:53,360 --> 00:24:00,400
and went to my mom and I talked to her and I said like, Hey, can can you just buy this book with my
213
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:08,320
card on Amazon? Like I had no intent on trying to get her to buy me buy it for me. Like to be honest,
214
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:14,080
I do sometimes do that. I'm going to be completely real with you. Sometimes I try and play the little
215
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:20,720
sneaky game and say, Hey, like, can you get this for me? But this time I genuinely was going to buy
216
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:30,240
it for myself. And so I was like, Okay, well, can you just buy this for me on my card? But she knew
217
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:35,200
how much money I had. And she was like, No, I'm just gonna buy it for you. I was so hype. So she
218
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:40,560
bought it for me and it arrived. And this whole time while I was waiting for it to come, it took
219
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:48,240
two days. I was studying. And I was kind of falling apart. Because I didn't know what to do on YouTube
220
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:52,880
because I realized that this whole time I've been making trash videos, I've been spending like five
221
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:58,880
hours on each video for it to get 10 views. And so I didn't know what to do. But I was just studying,
222
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:04,160
I was doing my best I could waiting for the book. And then the day it came, it was at nighttime. So
223
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:12,160
I fell asleep and then I woke up and I studied that book all day. And the first thing so I started
224
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:17,920
with chapter 10 and 11. And I read those and then I read the entire and I read the beginning of book.
225
00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:24,800
Because I heard someone say that you should start with 1011. So I read that and the first tip was
226
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:31,200
a specific tip. And I took action on every single tip that he gave on chapter 10 and 11.
227
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:38,800
And I made an entire video based off of those tips. And they were like the actionable steps.
228
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:44,960
And that video is called actually forgot what it's called. Let me let me check. I just finished
229
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:53,360
making it this morning. And it's called social media will end your kids. One of my most popular
230
00:25:53,360 --> 00:25:59,360
videos is a video on social media. So that's why he said to make a video on that topic of your most
231
00:25:59,360 --> 00:26:03,760
popular video. So I did that. And then I followed some other tips. And this was the first time where
232
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:09,360
I actually implemented what I've been studying of learning the intro so you make me making a better
233
00:26:09,360 --> 00:26:16,240
YouTube intro. And I got to say this is the best video I've ever made. And I just finished it today.
234
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:22,720
Today is May 2nd. And I am not even sure when I'm going to when I'm going to post it. I have not
235
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:28,960
even scheduled it because I'm trying to buy time so I can just read this whole book during my work
236
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:37,280
day and be able to just figure out my new direction over the course of the next couple of days.
237
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:46,400
And be able to maintain a one week ahead of time schedule. It's whatever. Basically I have this
238
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:51,600
awesome video the best one that I've ever made which every single pretty much every single one I
239
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:59,120
feel like that way. But I actually think that this video will get at least 2000 views. I've only
240
00:26:59,120 --> 00:27:07,600
ever gotten 2000 views once. But I think this video will get 2000 views. And that is basically
241
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:15,840
that's basically what I have to share with you today. Oh actually one more thing. I have a whole
242
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:24,720
plan on the first law the first lesson in Napoleon Hill's law of success in 16 lessons. The first
243
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:30,560
the first lesson is a definite aim. And I basically went through that the first time I read the book
244
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:37,120
maybe four or five months ago. And then I went through it again to like a couple weeks ago. And
245
00:27:37,120 --> 00:27:45,280
I have this whole definite aim this whole very elaborate plan written down on a piece of paper
246
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:54,080
that's taped to my wall. And right now I'm in the current stage where basically my goal is to get
247
00:27:54,080 --> 00:28:07,680
100 dad stories which is basically 100 people 100 dads sharing their stories to me. And to give an
248
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:16,160
example of what I mean by that I mentioned this guy who this my dream customer this the first dad
249
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:20,880
who commented on one of my video one of the first dads who comments on one of my videos
250
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:29,920
was maybe a month and a half ago. He commented that entire post. And that's the guy that I wrote
251
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:37,600
down. I copied his post his comment down at least 20 times by hand on my journal.
252
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:47,920
I want to receive 99 more of those. Now for the past couple weeks I've been tracking it every
253
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:54,960
single night before I go to bed. I write down was today a good day. Like did I do enough work today?
254
00:28:54,960 --> 00:29:04,160
Yes or no. Like did I give it my all. And pretty much five days out of six it would be a yes.
255
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:12,720
And then one guy or and then the next thing I say is how many dad stories did I collect.
256
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:17,680
And for the past couple weeks I've been saying one one one every single day I literally write
257
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:27,360
down one. And I realized that I actually collected maybe three or four more without even noticing
258
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:32,080
because they weren't in the same like elaborate structure as the first one that I got. So I was
259
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:38,480
dismissing them all but I do have dad stories. So I do have maybe three or four out of 100.
260
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:44,960
And the reason behind all of this is because I want to get 100 so that I know exactly what type
261
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:51,840
of product and what I know exactly how to solve the issue. I know exactly how to help dads.
262
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:57,440
And that is what is going to be the foundation to my million dollar business.
263
00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:02,800
And I know exactly what you're thinking right now. What is this 18 year old kid thinking
264
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:05,840
million dollar business. He's going to make a hundred thousand dollars a year.
265
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:10,800
Million dollars a year. What does he think. Well you'll just have to wait and see because
266
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:16,800
it is possible and it will be done.
