In this motivational monologue, the speaker recounts his early days as a broke entrepreneur who tried a succession of ten different online ventures, none of which made money. He describes a first attempt at selling a poster that he copied, added Bitcoin imagery, and labeled with the phrase “time is crypto,” which sold nothing. He then lists a series of low‑budget side hustles—flipping iPhones on eBay, buying and reselling books, shoes, shirts, running a garage‑sale style operation, selling weed, and launching a supplement brand called Sheila G. Despite the repeated failures and financial loss, he emphasizes a single, unifying principle: relentless persistence, constant truth‑seeking, and a mental snap that he will never quit until he succeeds. He frames time as a form of cryptocurrency—an asset that must be invested wisely—and urges viewers seeking financial independence to adopt the same “never give up” mindset, promising that it will eventually pay off.

When I was a beginning entrepreneur, bro, I was completely broke, and I thought it was a good idea to sell things on the internet. I made this poster here. I basically took somebody else's image completely, and it was not original. I went on Photoshop. I didn't know anything about Photoshop, and I put these little bitcoins in there, and then I put time is crypto. Did not sell one. Put it in the back of my thing. Never made any money off of this, and I just felt led to just tell you the story because we've been there before. Like I've been there, bro. I've been completely broke many times in cryptocurrency. Been through trial and tribulation. I've been through ten different businesses. I used to flip iPhones. I used to, I mean, literally do anything. I used to sell weed, go through the board, man. I had a business called I Buy Rotten Apples. I would buy people's iPhones and flip it on eBay. Then I made a supplement business called Sheila G. I used to do all of that. I mean, bro, I like, I did a garage selling business. I used to buy books and flip the books. Then I went to shoes. Then I went to shirts. I'm telling you right now, if there's one thing, one principle that I would say for everybody that watches my content that actually wants to get developed, you know, financial independence, financial freedom, whatever that looks like for you, it is For a fact, the principle of not giving up, of constant truth-seeking and trying to figure it out no matter what. And there was a certain moment where something just snapped in my brain, bro. I don't know how else to explain it to you. It just snapped where I just knew for a fact, no matter how low I go, I'm not going to stop until it works. No matter how many businesses I have to fail, no matter how many jobs I have to get fired from, no matter how much money I have to spend to figure it out, I was going to figure it out. That's it. And so if that, that could snap in your brain and you could really like, then these things Although it made no money, the principles I learned in these times are so valuable, bro. You can't really put a price tag. Actually, you could. You could put it like time is crypto on it, right? So I think you guys should just never stop and decide that you're going to not give up no matter what. And I think it'll work out for you for sure.
