why are we programmed for mediocrity I'm
sure that is your question if you guys
clicked on this video and you're
watching it so the reason I made this
video is because I think there are a
number of reasons why most people out
there do what it is that they do why
most people go out there and they get a
nine-to-five job whether or not they
actually have interest in that line of
work and they tend to just follow the
structure that society set out for us
and there are five main reasons that I
came across in my own journey of going
from that nine-to-five lifestyle to
being an entrepreneur that were really
the barriers for me and a lot of it has
to do with the public schooling system
as well as just your upbringing and the
people you surround yourself with so I
want to share with you guys the five
actually moving from living in a
structured life and having that
nine-to-five job to actually taking a
risk in being an entrepreneur and it's
the best decision I've ever made in my
life now a lot of people are just
petrified of going out and trying
something new and actually doing
something they want to do with their
life and it's absolutely crazy to me but
I was in that situation for a long time
I spent months you know deciding whether
or not I wanted to pursue what I do
full-time or just keep doing it on the
side while working my job but these are
the five reasons why I would say most of
us out there are programmed or you know
set up for mediocrity and I'm not saying
this is a bad thing and if you are fine
with working a job then you know that's
not a problem because what matters most
is what I actually makes you happy and I
know myself working that nine-to-five
job I was unhappy but I know a lot of
people that are very happy doing jobs
and you know doing a very simple job and
then going home and not having to worry
about things because as an entrepreneur
you constantly have to think about your
business and what you're doing and I
understand that with a nine-to-five job
you know you stop thinking about your
job at 5:01 and you don't have to think
about it again until the next morning so
there are definitely reasons why people
like
but the main reason or the main barrier
that I had when I was growing up or one
of the things that I taught that was not
true one of the things people taught me
was that $100,000 is rich I can remember
talking to my parents and asking them
like hey you know we got a neighbor who
had nicer cars and the kid at the point
at that time had a PlayStation 2 and I
was like you know why don't we have why
don't we have nice cars why don't I have
a Playstation 2 I was a kid at the time
and I remember my parents were like well
they're rich and I was like well what is
rich and they're like well they have a
lot of money and I said well how much is
a lot of money and I think my dad said
$100,000 you know that's a lot of money
if you're making that much money every
year so from that point forward that's
where I set the bar I set the bar at
$100,000 as being rich and as a result
then going forward all the strides that
I made all the decisions that I made in
my life were based on the end goal of
you know making a hundred thousand
dollars and it wasn't until I really
started learning about you know making
money that I realized that a hundred
thousand dollars a year is not rich in
fact that's enough to you know have a
pretty simple life and maybe have enough
to go on vacation once or twice a year
and drive a newer car I mean a hundred
thousand dollars is not rich and because
I was taught that at a young age I had
this idea that that's what I should
strive for and now thinking back imagine
if I had thought that 1 million dollars
a year was rich well that would mean
that all of those decisions that I would
have made early on would have been with
the end goal of making a million dollars
a year and it's possible it's it's just
as possible to make a hundred thousand a
year as it is to make a million a year
the only difference is the strides that
you're taking in the decisions that
you're making and I just didn't realize
this based on the fact that you know I
was told that that's rich 100 grand
you're set you're rich at that point the
second thing is that I was taught that
any kind of risk is dangerous I mean I
was petrified of risk I can remember
when I was contemplating you know
quitting my job
an entrepreneur I thought that if I quit
my job I would literally die I mean I
felt like if I ran out of money I would
die I would be dead and I can remember
having a conversation with a good friend
of mine who's really kind of a mentor to
me as well he had done the same thing
before me started pursuing his dream and
I was very envious of him and I can
remember that conversation we had where
he was calling me he was off I think he
was at his pool you know and I was
sitting in my car at lunch because I
just wanted to not be around those
negative people and he was like what's
gonna happen to you if you quit your job
are you gonna die if you if you run out
of money do you die and I was like
there's a first time I realized I'm like
you're not going to just die you're not
gonna just end up you know you're not
going to end up in a terrible situation
if you take a risk worst-case scenario
for me would have been I quit my job I
burned through all my money and I get a
new job my whole mindset at that point
I've realized like what I could do is
yeah save up some money working a job
quit that job try something if it
doesn't work save up money and try again
I mean I knew that that life was not for
me
but for whatever reason and largely it
had to do with conditioning from society
and just the fact that so many people
tell you that businesses fail don't take
a risk we are so we are just so
conditioned to believe that risk is bad
that it just petrifies us to the point
we won't even take any risk even a
healthy amount of risk and it really
makes people feel stuck in their lives
and you know discourages people from
pursuing their dreams the third thing
that really held me back was this idea
that one size fits all and this is
really something I learned from the
public education system and it has to do
with the fact that everyone out there
has a different learning style and
different interests but they're all
funneled through the same exact system I
mean yeah you can go and decide you want
to take different history classes or
other classes with technology but for
the most part we are all taught in the
same way and the resources available to
us are very limited so we are really
told and instructed in a way and pushed
in a way that the one-size-fits-all that
everyone
to follow this path I mean I can
remember when I graduated high school I
had no idea there was another path
outside of going to college and getting
a job it was like I was brainwashed and
really in a way you are I mean I'm not
saying that the public schooling system
is the worst thing in the world and if
you are a young person watching this I'd
not despite not encouraging that you go
out there and you know drop out of high
school or not go to college you've got
to do whatever it is that you want to do
but maybe the college part if you know
you want to be an entrepreneur you know
just go out there and do it stop stop
asking for permission and don't be
afraid to take a risk don't be petrified
by that risk but because of our public
schooling system and the fact that
everyone is taught in the same way it's
like we feel there's one path there's
only one direction you can go and that
is to go out there you know get an
education get a job and you know work
for the rest of your life and there are
so many different things you can do with
your life in so many different ways you
can make money and a lot of people
because we're all different a lot of
people don't fit into that
one-size-fits-all structure that the
schooling system really sets us up for
now the fourth reason you know the
fourth thing that really is of setting
you up for mediocrity in life is this
idea of knowledge versus wisdom now what
I think about is this there's a big
difference between learning something
and then memorizing something and I
would say that the first part of school
when you're learning how to do cursive
and you're learning how to write and
you're learning how to read and you're
learning about animals and dissecting
things and doing all this hands-on stuff
that is what you call learning we are
actually experiencing it and at a
certain point school shifts from
learning to memorization and it happens
around middle school or high school for
most people and by the time I was in
high school I didn't have a single class
that was hands-on and all I was doing
was reading books or being taught out of
a book and then reciting that
information back out onto paper and that
is not nah that is not wisdom that is
knowledge that is useless information at
that point when you're in your younger
years and you're actually learning
hands-on and doing things that is that
is wisdom that is what you want and your
action
learning but at a certain point you're
just consuming information and
regurgitating it and what do you benefit
from that and there's just so many
reasons why the schooling system makes
absolutely no sense but I'm not going to
get into that now but if you think about
it when would you ever be in a situation
where you wouldn't have resources in
front of you to actually thoroughly
research and figure out the problem I
mean are you ever gonna sit down at your
job and your employer is going to tell
you I want you to complete this task
without using any resources in a quiet
room at this desk and you need to be
done in one hour and you can't ask
anyone for help that is stupid
okay
that is what the schooling system
teaches us and that is what they train
you to do and that ties into my fifth
reason why we are programmed to just be
mediocre is the fact that communication
is bad we're taught that communication
is bad when we're in school and when
we're working on a test if we talk to
someone it's called cheating
however collaboration is one of the most
important aspects of any project if you
want to get anything done you need many
people working together on that project
and you need to learn to work with other
people and combine all of your creative
powers into one and work on one common
goal or task but there's none of that in
school there's none of that group
working it's all solo work and you know
do your tests on your own what would
make more sense is if people were
divided into groups and they were given
one problem and they all work together
to solve that problem I mean I know
there are some aspects of classes that
are like that but the fact that we sit
down and take a test and just you know
regurgitate information instead of
communicating with each other and
working on a problem and using all the
resources available to us it's absurd
and that is really the fifth reason why
I think we are just programmed to be
mediocre and I don't know guys this is
just something that I've been wanting to
do a video on and I really took a while
to think about the five core reasons why
I was afraid to take that leap of faith
and become an entrepreneur and a lot of
it had to do with these things that
conditioned me whether it be from my own
life or people around me or the
schooling's
