So I had a union job, a very safe job
and I was making $70,000 a year
with a guaranteed six figure income within five years
but as soon as I learned this fact about money,
and today I'm going to teach that to you
and what I'm going to show you today
is the most important lesson on money
that I have ever learned.
I did not learn it until I was well past
the days of being in high school or being in college
and it's too bad that you don't learn this in high school
because it would have dramatically changed
the decisions I made up until that point.
Now, luckily, I did learn about this
when I was about 20 years old
and so I had a lot of time to adjust my sales
and do something drastically different with my life
but I wanna show you guys this rule or this lesson today
and I hope that this sparks something in your brain
and makes you decide to also change your sales
and consider doing something else
other than what everyone else out there is doing
in terms of going out there, getting a job,
working that nine to five
and I wanna explain that to you guys now.
So first of all, I wanna ask you
if this formula here looks familiar to you.
It goes something along the lines of this.
You earn a certain dollar amount per hour
times 40 hours a week and at the end of the week,
you get a paycheck.
I wanna ask you guys where did you learn this formula?
Was this from your parents?
Did you learn this in school?
Where did you learn about this simple concept
that dollar amount times time equals paycheck?
I'll share my experience with you.
I learned this from my parents when I was 12 years old
and I decided to start a business
doing some lawn mowing and landscaping for my neighbors
and I was asking my dad, so how do I do this?
He says, well, you have to figure out
what you're willing to work for per hour
and then you're going to work a certain number of hours
and then you make your money at the end of the week
or end of the day depending on the job.
So I told myself my time was worth $10 an hour
and I would work for four hours on a Saturday
and I would make $40 and as a 12 year old,
I was pretty happy
but that was the very first time in my life
that I instilled this in my brain that time equals money.
So let's say that I decided to take that landscaping
or lawn mowing job or business I had started and run with it
and I decided that I wanted to work
40 hours a week at that job.
Let's say I did that through all of my teenage years
and I made $10 an hour.
So following the basic equation
that you work a 40 hour work week
and you work for $10 an hour,
that means I would make $400 per week.
Now, let's say that I didn't have enough money.
I wasn't making enough money
and I wanted to make more money.
So if you're unhappy with the amount of money you're making,
you basically have two options here
because there's two variables that control your paycheck.
First of all, that is the time,
the amount of time you're spending actually working
and second of all, it's going to be the skill
which is going to determine the hourly rate
at which you are paid.
So if you're looking to make more money,
there are primarily three different things you can do
and I call this the bad solution, the better solution
and the good solution.
So first of all, let's start with the bad solution.
The bad solution is to start working more hours
and sacrifice more of your time in order to make more money.
In my opinion, this is completely ludicrous.
I would never wanna work more than 40 hours a week
and why people do this is absolutely beyond me
but I'll share my personal experience here.
I used to work at a job where I was surrounded by people
who would brag about the amount of money they were making
but they weren't bragging in terms of oh, I went home
and I started my own passive income business online
or I'm doing dropshipping and I'm making two grand a month.
They were bragging about the fact
that they were sacrificing their nights and their weekends
and sacrificing their family's happiness
in order to spend more hours working at that job
and if you ask me, that is nothing to brag about
but that is what these people did.
They sacrificed their time in order to make more money
and that's a very bad solution to this problem.
I'm talking about people that would work 70, 80,
even 90 hours a week to make $150,000 a year
and it's just why would you even bother doing that?
Why would you sacrifice your time to make more money?
Anyways, that's the bad solution to this problem.
The better solution is to learn a more valuable skill.
So if you're making 10, $15, maybe $20 an hour
and you're saying I wanna make more money
then you go out there and you learn a more valuable skill.
Maybe you go to college, maybe you go take an online course
and you learn how to do online marketing,
something like that, whatever it is,
you're learning a more valuable skill
which is going to increase the rate
at which someone will pay you for one hour of your work
but the best solution has nothing to do with this formula
at all and in fact, the best solution
is to follow a different model
and the thing is so few people understand the fact
that there's a different model out there
when it comes to making money
because what this tells us here
is that time is always a variable
in the amount of money that you are making.
You either have to sacrifice more of your time
or figure out how to make more money per hour
that you are working but you can make money
in ways that do not involve your time.
So when I was 20 years old,
I started exploring different ways to make money.
I read books like Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki.
I read a book called Click Millionaires,
all about how people became millionaires off of the internet
and I started thinking about the type of income
I was earning and that's when I learned
that I was earning something called active income
and what that meant is I only made money
when I was actively working.
So for those eight hours a day, I would make money
but on the weekends and on the off hours,
I made absolutely $0 and the major flaw with active income
is that your time is always involved
with this type of income.
That is when I started to learn
about something called passive income
and I know people right now are gonna say,
yeah, no shit, Sherlock, I know what passive income is
but have you ever really thought about it?
Have you ever really thought about the fact
that you can put in effort today
and build something that will pay you every single month,
every single week or even every single day
for the rest of your life
but so few people are actually willing
to put in that initial work today
to build a passive income stream
but I told myself I was willing to put in that effort
and do whatever it takes to earn passive income
and get out of this trap of earning active income.
So let me explain it to you this way.
Passive income is very simple.
You're earning money off of your past effort.
So your past effort determines your paycheck.
Now, I've always enjoyed making videos
and talking to people and learning and exploring new ideas
so I decided that a YouTube channel would be a good way
for me to make passive income.
It makes sense.
I'm making money off of videos I've done previously.
I make money from ad revenue.
It results in sales for my membership site
and my course as well
and all of that is based on my past effort.
My course that I put together that I still make money from
is one that I made many months ago but I still make money
because I'm being paid for my past effort.
That is what passive income is.
Now, how passive is my business?
I wanna answer that question very simply
and here's how I answered this.
I took a look at just the ad revenue for my YouTube channel
and I decided to split up the percentage
of the amount of revenue I've made in the last seven days
and what percentage of that
came from the videos I posted that week
versus ones I've posted previously
and what I found is that 17% of my ad revenue
came from the videos I had posted that week
and 83% of my income came from my past effort,
the past videos that I've posted
that continued to get the views.
If that doesn't motivate you and get you excited,
I have no idea what will, guys.
I just want you to understand
there's a lot of different ways out there
that you can make money
and a lot of them involve the internet
and if you have any thought in your mind
that you have the idea of starting a blog
or starting a YouTube channel or starting a podcast
or anything like that, just fucking do it, alright?
I know it took me a long time to really start doing this
but there's so many opportunities out there
and this is such a new area as far as building a channel
and building an audience online and personal branding
and all of this and being an influencer
and sharing your message with people
and I know there's always the argument
of oh, is it too late to start on YouTube?
Well, if I told myself it was too late back in 2016,
I wouldn't have a six figure online business right now.
So to answer the question of is it too late,
it's never too late until the platform is shutting down.
If you logged on tomorrow
and YouTube had a message on the homepage
that said YouTube is closing, we're shutting down forever,
okay, maybe it's too late now but until that day comes,
it's never too late to start something.
It's never too late to start earning passive income online
and I know the excuse that some of you are going to give me
right now is the fact that not everyone out there
can start a YouTube channel
because if everyone has a YouTube channel,
nobody will have the time to watch it
but what I wanna ask you is how many people do you think
are actually even watching a video right now
about how to make more money because last time I checked,
about 90 to 95% of the people out there are asleep in life.
They don't have any idea what's going on around them.
They have no idea they can make money in other ways.
They're on autopilot going through life.
Now, of those small amount of people
that decide they wanna learn how to make more money,
what percentage are actually going to commit
and put that effort in
and decide they're going to commit to making money online
and actually see it through?
We're talking about a fraction of 1% at the end of the day
as far as people who actually watch a video like this,
take action on that advice and stick with it
and so for those of you that say
not everyone is going to be able to have a YouTube channel
or build a following, not everyone is willing to do it.
A very, very small percentage of people out there,
a fraction of a percent
are actually willing to do what it takes
and build an audience online and earn passive income.
So that is the lesson that I had learned.
I learned it when I was 20 years old.
I learned about the difference
between active income and passive income
and I decided that passive income was a much better model
and I structured my life around earning passive income
and I recommend that you guys consider doing the same thing.
Anyways, guys, that's gonna wrap up this video.
If you guys enjoyed this,
if you wanna hear more about my business, how I make money
and other ways you can make passive income,
drop me a comment down below
and I'll be sure to incorporate some more videos like that.
It's a very interesting topic for me
but there's just so many different opportunities out there
and I know a lot of people are itching
to do something else out there or they're struggling
or they're not making money
or they're not making enough money
and you need to start thinking
about a different model that you're following
and not this model of earning active income
but thank you so much for watching, guys.
I hope you have a great rest of your day
and I will see you in the next video.
