Is It Ever Too Late to Pursue Your Dreams? 🌟 | Q&A with Evan & RishyCupTV

What's up everybody? Welcome to another business Q&A as we play League of Legends answering your entrepreneurial questions. I'm excited to be back. It's a Thursday. I'm happy, looking to start a new win streak here with my playing companion J-Rise under the Fresh Views account. And I have my usual co-host Rishi Kheb TV in the house. Rishi, how we doing?

Feeling the love, Evan. I'm so excited to be here as always. Hi, Believe Nation. Happy Thursday, it's stream day, hangout day.

That's exciting. So we're queuing up, we got a game going on, but while we get ready for that, tell us what's in the cup, Rishi.

I'm in a trend right now of Spanish coffee in my cup because I'm believing for a trend in our win here. Oh, I like that. And Evan, I'm going to say I'm feeling a cup of gratitude for you, sir. This is why.

Okay.

I don't know if you guys have noticed this about Evan, but not only is Evan like believe in everybody, but like he truly, truly is someone that I see gives and helps without judgment. And I know that you, Evan, you help a lot of misfits and And you just are really cool. I just wanted to honor you for that and say that's what I'm feeling today, my cup of gratitude for your lack of judgment and belief in people.

All right, I appreciate that. That means a lot. That means a lot. That's cool.

Sorry, getting kind of deep in the deep end.

No, I mean, it's good. I just appreciate it. It's great. It's great, thank you. Now does your quote tie into that? We're starting a new segment of Rishi sharing a quote because I don't have my tea with the quote, so Rishi came with a quote.

Okay.

What's our quote?

It's an unrelated quote, but it's a good one nonetheless. It's a quote by Barbara Corcoran. You know her, she's the entrepreneur personality on Shark Tank. She says, "Preparation is grossly underrated." I over-prepare for everything I do. Try it and let me know what you think. You'll be glad you listened. That's it.

Alright, so let's do some Q&A with some unprepared answers. I'm liking it. Here we go. I like it. I like this Rishi quote of the day. I'm feeling it. See what's on Rishi's mind. All right, well, J-Rise got Ryze mid. I'm hopefully going to get my Teemo jungle. And let's get into some questions. Who we got? What do we got? Let's help some entrepreneurs.

Hey, let's help them. Let's do it. First question is coming from Brian.

Brian.

Brian says, hey Evan, I love the message you send. I, in college, my business professor asked how I wanted to change the world. I said I wanted to start a company that funds nonprofits. He laughed at me and said it wouldn't work. I'm now testing my process with my book launch. His book is called Coco for Santa. And through October, November, December, I will be donating a portion of all book sales to Toys for Tots, Midwest Shelter for Homeless, Vets, St. Jude's, and Spinal Muscular Atrophy Foundation. I honestly think that if a company can partner with nonprofits that need assistance, both the charity and the business will thrive. I'd be interested in your thoughts on this.

Okay.

All right. I love it. Um, I just want to say, absolutely think it's so cool that you're going into your business, whether as an author or anything else, for the purpose of giving back. I think that's awesome. We've talked a lot about that on the channel. So I think it can work, and I think if that's what you have in your heart, you should make it work no matter what. That being said, I just— I think that it's so important to have some kind of a a plan in the beginning before you start anything. It sounds like you do have a plan, but this is just general advice. I think a lot of people can get caught up in, "I want to give back," before they have a plan for reinvesting back into their business so that the business can continue to grow and be what you need it to be to keep giving back. So, I would just make sure that you have a good plan for every aspect of your business, including reinvesting back into your business and, you know, possible charities. I think Evan even has a video about entrepreneurs who gave too soon, like they gave too much too soon, and it was at the expense of their business. So, yeah, absolutely give back. I think it can work, but just, I think, do it responsibly.

Cool. I was— during the start of the very, the very start of the question, I'm thinking, that's an awesome college professor. Somebody asking, how do you want to change the world? Like, that guy's awesome. And then he laughed at him, like, that college professor sucks.

I know.

I wish my college professor asked me how I want to change the world. I had boring college professors. Anyway, side note, our teachers, our professors, you know, thinking bigger and challenging the students and supporting them is important. I mean, I love the cause. I think what you need to do is just find out what— how you're gonna execute it. Like, what is— so what is your tip? What are your skills, your talents that you want to bring to it? So, you know, for me, I like— it's belief, right? I like building people up. I hate untapped potential. I want people to get better and express themselves and not be trapped where they are and boxed in where they are. Great, that's an amazing thing. How do I execute it? Well, it's through the world of entrepreneurship. It's through videos and live streams and now a book. Right? It's through that execution because that's what I know, the world of entrepreneurship. So I love the mission. You want to help nonprofits raise money. Okay, perfect. How are you going to do it? What are you good at? Is it going to be by being creative and making great art through your books and other things and then selling a portion? Is it going to be trying to connect businesses with charities? There's a lot of different ways to be able to do it and it's going to come from whatever your unique talents are that you can really shine with. So that's just— I love the idea, you just got to figure out what the business model is going to be that best shows off, you know, your skill sets and talents so you can further your cause.

Nice.

That's what I got.

Cool. Is there kind of like a standard practice, Evan, for like businesses that they say will always, for charity, have this percentage allotted for giving?

I mean, is that like a standard practice that people should know, or is it depend on If I was looking at a standard practice, it would probably be zero. You know, like I don't think most businesses do give back. I think they should. I think we have a responsibility to give back to our community, whether it's through donations or percentage of your profits or just in-kind. You know, like at Toronto Dance Salsa, we gift a lot of classes. We'll give gift certificates a lot to charities and people who are trying to raise money for dinners, charity auctions, that kind of stuff. We'll either go in and teach a lesson and entertain the people or give gift certificates away for people who can raise that money in a silent auction. Going into schools and helping the kids learn and get an appreciation of dance and how it can help them. So just giving back, I think, should be part of what businesses do, but I don't think it is for most. I think most people are just so concerned about surviving than focusing on other, you know, other causes to be able to contribute to. So no, I don't think that there's a standard, you know, you must give 1% of your earnings to a charity. But, you know, doing— there is a cautionary tale too where some people do it, as you said, do it too soon and they don't focus on their business at all. And then you can't, you know, if you give away too much of your money too early, then you don't have money to grow, and then it limits your ability to do even more good, right? You need to still be around. And if you're building up to a 100-person company, you'll be able to give a lot more than you will right now. Oh, we got first blood. This is pretty exciting. Oh, sorry guys, in-game. So we're in-game. I got Teemo jungle. Jryze has Ryze mid. So, so far so good. So I think it's, I think it's, I think it's Like most of the answers, I think it's both. You know, I think you need to be able to do something now to be able to help out and give back, but not go so crazy on it that it limits your ability to do things with your business. That being said, don't be only business-minded that, you know, you don't focus at all about giving back and helping your community and mentoring and helping the people around you. It doesn't have to take a lot of money. It doesn't have to take a lot of time. And I think there's a model here for Brian where if he wants to go and approach businesses and help them give back and give them ideas on how they can contribute. Like if Brian came up to me and said, "Hey, can you gift us certificates? We want to do a gift certificate program. Can you gift us some gift certificates?" that we can then use for private auctions for charities for their fundraising galas and all that stuff, it'd be an easy yes. You can go and do that to tons of different businesses and, you know, now all these charities that need items for their auctions, you know, they have something because of Brian's hard work. But it means you have to go out and talk to businesses and, you you know, get to know entrepreneurs and go networking and get on social media. And like that, it can work. All of these things can work. It's just, is it what you want to do? Is that what you're excited about? So that's, that's what I meant by you have to find the thing that you can be really good at so that when you start executing and it's something that brings you a lot of joy as well as furthers your mission. Awesome.

Okay. So, looks like you guys are 1-0 right now. So there you go.

Did we do some— let's do some— who's in the chat? Let's do some recognition.

Oh, we didn't do that. Yeah. Super fun. Actually, the chat's blowing up as usual. We've got Rise Online. We've got Zaino in the house. We've got Damatha Man in the house. It's not supposed to be said that way. That's just my own thing.

Zaino Newenhouse is in the house.

Who?

Zaino Newenhouse is in the house.

Yeah. That's funny because I've never actually tried to pronounce the last part of his— or his last name, so good for you for doing that.

Well, there's a video on it. I've done better though, that wasn't my best, but there's a video on it.

Oh, I thought there was a video, but I thought it was just his first name. Did you do the last name too?

Oh, the whole point of it was for the last name. Oh, wow. Yeah, check out that video.

Okay, I'm sorry, I know. Okay, and then Optisaurus is back. Hi, Optisaurus, great to see you. And that's, I think that's it for today.

Yeah, let's do it.

So let's go to the next question. Next question is coming from Regina. Regina says, greetings Evan, my name is Regina. First, I want to thank you for giving back, giving back and inspiring others every day. I think you're awesome. I wanted to know if you could share a few ideas or websites that could be helpful to me in the creation process of developing a business plan. I'm stuck because I'm not sure how to go about the development of my business plan. I'm not even sure how to get started. I would really appreciate help that would aid in the process of developing an outline to a business plan that I could follow. Oh, I almost forgot to tell you that I'm on my way to invest in myself by buying your new book. Thank you for all the work that you're doing that is truly making a huge impact in people's lives on a daily basis. And I pray that God bless everything that you touch. Sincerely, Regina. Okay. So awesome. Love that you just bought the book. Super cool. For those of you who do buy the book, that's just number one, a great choice, but number two, you get a shout out. So look out for your shout out when you purchase. And also, you know, the business plan question I think is a common question for people who want to get started. I think what I— I think what gets complicated for people is that they think they have to have this very, very perfect plan before they get started. But at a very basic level, a business plan is just a guide and a roadmap that kind of outlines your goals and details how you're going to meet those goals. And I think the place to start would be really identifying what business you're in, because I think that will also influence a little bit how you then plan. For example, are you going to be a storefront business? Are you going to be online? Are you going to be a service-based business? Are you going to be a product-based business? So I think the more you can identify what business you are in, it will be easier to then find that business plan, um, the model after. And, uh, I remember just to— I remember asking you this question myself, Evan, when I was starting on YouTube. I was like, well, what's the business plan? You know, um, I mean, that's not why I got into YouTube, but then I met you shortly thereafter, and I was so excited about all this information, I was like, okay, let's, let's implement this. And your answer to— your response to me was, hey, throw that, throw that out for right now and just focus on putting more love into your YouTube channel. So it's not that a plan isn't important, but I think the more that you can just really identify where your business is going to be, it will and for what your business is going to be, it can more easily answer all of the practical how-to steps. Yeah.

Cool. I think you need to figure out what you need the business plan for. So is it just for yourself to have kind of a guide for what you're going to do, or is it for an investor or for, you know, some other purposes as well, because if you're making a plan to try to get investment, it's different than if you're just going to make it for yourself. I agree with Rishi that I would really think strongly of just not being so hamstrung by having the perfect plan that you don't do anything, that you don't get started at all. I think that's for people who love to plan and for, you know, the perfectionists, it's definitely a common thing that people struggle with. I'm not going to do anything until it's perfect. And you know, the thing is, it never is perfect. And this is, this is one of the things that cost me a lot early in my career. As I mentioned on another video— oh, Jay with a kill! We're doing well, man. Jay and I are teaming up, we're getting kills. This is looking good so far this game. Yeah, I lost out on a $42 million deal because I was sitting there trying to make the perfect plan and lost out on a big opportunity. So that's the danger. The thing to realize with the business plan is that it changes as soon as you get out there on the market. As soon as you start testing your assumptions, it's going to change. So it doesn't mean don't plan because you need to have a plan, and it's great to have a general sense of what you're going to do, how you're going to market your business, what's so unique and special about you, you know, what you stand for. All of those things are really important. But not being so hamstrung by just trying to have the perfect plan that you don't do anything. I think that's important. That being said, like, resources, places— how do you go find a good business plan? It's funny when you look at business plans how much variety there is. There are some common sections, and you could just go look at, you know, a bank website and you'll see you know, most of the bank websites have business plan templates that you can learn from. But even as part of the— I think a part of the bonuses that we have in the— for the book, which if you order you'll see some bonuses there. Some of the company's original business plans, you know, the New Yorker's first business plan, how, you know, it's like 3 pages.

That's right, you have it in your bonuses.

Yeah, there's a couple of them. There's a couple of business plan examples in the bonuses that are worth checking out. Awesome. Yeah, but for a general template, you can go to any bank website and they'll have examples for you to follow. None of those should be taken like this is the only way to do it. They're all just general guidelines. Really what you want to feel like is You have a plan to follow, it gives you the confidence that what you're doing is, you know, gonna work. Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. And that's it. So I would go check out the bank websites, but also not get too caught up in it having to be perfect.

Yeah, I mean, I'm not the expert in the business department like you, Evan, but I think about like teaching a classroom of kids. Which I do have experience with. And so you could plan all you want to do that well and manage the classroom and teach well, but it's going to require you getting in the classroom and actually just getting your hands dirty before you really kind of know what you're doing. So you've got to execute.

100%.

We got some people in the chat also saying OptiSource Book says that Tony Robbins says not to make a business plan, but a business, quote, "map." And so yeah, everybody looks like everybody has different ways that they like to approach this. I think we all just need to find what works for us and also model people that you really respect. You know, if there's a kind of business that you really respect, that you're going to do, you know, model, model the masters there. All right, just making sure we're caught up on the chat.

All right.

All right, I think that's, that's it. So next question comes from Andre. Andre says, hi Evan, hi Evan, hope you're doing great, dude. Love the shows on YouTube, you're doing a great job. I follow your channel religiously, hahaha. Evan, what do you know about growth hacking? If I tell you that I could possibly recommend you the realest guess in GHATM that has given crazy amounts of value around the world, would you consider it? Growth hacking is a new trend in the startup space. Great skill set for your audience to know. It's the street-smart mentality, baby. In all honesty, thank you for your great work.

Is he trying to pitch me? I don't understand the question there. Did I miss something?

I feel like— no, no, I feel like it's a— I didn't want to be too quick to say that, but I think it sounds pitchy and yeah.

Okay, so he's trying to pitch me on being a growth hacker for me?

It looks like it. I don't know what GHATM is, so.

I don't know what it is either.

Yeah. All right.

Well?

Well, I— it looks like if I was getting this email, I would feel like I'm being pitched to. And I personally much prefer getting personal emails. But that's just me.

Okay, cool. So, you know, growth hacking, definitely growth hacking is basically having somebody come in and help you build your community, build the audience, get your social campaigns going, get a community of, you know, of an audience for you to test out your products and services with. It's just, it's the new street marketing but online. That's what it, that's growth hacking. And it's important. A lot of entrepreneurs are using it. You should. It's cheap marketing compared to traditional methods. I would— I appreciate— I love the bravado that he's bringing off. I love the energy and the excitement. I would Look at the execution. You know, so you're a fan, I love it, thank you for all the love and support. I'm sitting here listening to the message and I'm confused. You know, Rishi is reading it off and is confused. Neither of us know what this— whatever that name was, GMH whatever, Cash Machine or whatever it was. You know, we don't know what that is. And so part of being a good growth hacker, right, is communicating the message that makes sense. So the ambition and drive, and I love all that. Now we got to work on, you know, communicating the message that resonates with people. And if you can do that, you combine those talents, man, then you'll do well.

Yeah. All right. Thanks, Evan. Next question is coming from Kiva. Kiva is saying, hey bro, love your videos, really inspirational. Could you do a video on it's never too late? I feel like I'm too old to go forth and pursue my dreams and would love so if you could make a video on that. Alrighty, Keba, thank you for the question. And I think this is an absolutely important topic. So many people feel this way, and you'd be surprised that it's not just people in midlife who feel this way. You can hear this concern even from teenagers, like, it's too late for me to try, which is kind of a scary thought that teenagers feel that way. But absolutely, yes, it's never too late. And that is talked about a lot on Evan's channel. One video that I love is— we talked earlier at the top of the show that this, today, Thursday, is Hangout Day. And I'm a big fan of Hangouts. With Evan and @SKelly, CEO of Sage, Stephen Kelly, and they did an interview collab on the very topic. It's called "Is It Too Late for You to Be a Success?" And so if you search the channel for that, again, "Is It Too Late for You to Be a Success?" is the name of that video. And I mean, it's— there's just so many examples of amazing entrepreneurs who found success well past, you know, 40s into midlife and beyond. So it's not too late.

We're in a big fight! We are in a big fight, guys! We're in a big fight! What's gonna happen? We're gonna do damage!

Yeah!

Okay, good. That was on the stressful side, but we made it through, and I'm pretty happy about it. Yeah, I mean, I chalk that up under, am I too— am I too anything, right? Is it, am I too old, am I too young, am I too, you know, whatever it is. That's a great video. I forgot about that, so thank you for bringing that back up, putting it on the map again, Rishi. The two examples that I usually use when I'm looking at older entrepreneurs are you have Ray Kroc who didn't get started until he was in his 50s who built McDonald's. And he had diabetes and all of these ailments and everybody would have said, "Like, your life is on the decline. This is, you know, that's it, man. This is the end of the road. Just start thinking about retirement." and then he went on to build McDonald's. Colonel Sanders, who built KFC, was in his 60s.

That guy is pretty old.

He was in his 60s, right? So like when, at a time when most people are thinking about retirement, here's this guy off doing some brand new venture, right? It's just It's just a mindset. Whoa, I'm getting destroyed. Holy cow, I got attacked by 4 people. Good times. Oh, it's okay. We're going to win. We're doing well in this game. Yeah, so I would start to look at examples of people who have done it. So I can see how if you look at a, you know, Mark Zuckerberg and you say, wow, look at him, like the world belongs to the young entrepreneur, I can't do anything, I'm too old, I should just give up on my dream. There's a ton of people who started, who are starting now, who are older than you, who are having tons of success. And so to start putting those people on your radar, start surrounding yourself with that so you have that belief that I can do it too. I think it will be important. If you really want to do it, like, and this is a lesson to pass on to— I don't know if he has kids or not, or she. Who was it again? What was the name?

This is Kiba.

Kiba, okay. So I don't know if Kiba has kids, but—

It's K with a K. Kiba.

Kiba?

K-I-B-A. B as in boy.

Kiba. Kiba. Okay, so like, I don't know if Kiba has kids, but is that the message that you want to pass on? Mm-hmm. That living in belief that, you know, the world tells you that you can't do it, so you're not gonna do it. Mm-hmm. Right, and if anything, that's an inspiration. You could be an inspiration to everyone around you and say, look, look what I did. Age isn't gonna hold me down.

Yeah.

And it's just an example of a limiting belief. And you'll have tons of them. We all will have them. So breaking this one will help break others. And it's important. So it's not too late.

Yeah, it's not too late. And I have to always— I actually officially got this book in the mail. I'm super excited. The book I always plug for this particular question is It's Never Too Late to Begin Again by Julia Cameron. Now, it's not a book for necessarily specifically entrepreneurs, but it's for anyone who's in midlife that feels— or really anyone creative person that feels like it's too late. And it addresses, I think, some really practical ways to take steps toward what you're doing. I don't know, I'm excited to read that book even though I'm not midlife yet, but I'm excited to read that book. Actually, wait, am I in midlife yet? When does midlife start?

You're a millennial.

Ah, yes! How do I not know if I'm a millennial or a midlifer? Like, there's something really wrong with that.

There's lots of love. There's lots of love for Rishi.

Thanks for the lack of judgment, Evan. Appreciate you. Okay, okay, next question is coming from Patrick.

Patrick.

Yeah, Patrick says, hey Evan, I really like your content and the fact that you inspire people. My name is Patrick, I'm from Croatia. I would like that you would be my mentor. I don't have any experience in business, but I have— but I will learn it from you. But I would like to learn it from you. If you want to help me, I would be very grateful. Talk to you soon, I hope.

All right.

So one thing that I don't think people realize, because I know we get this question a lot, is that You know, you already are being mentored. You know, you found the channel and making more videos than probably any other YouTube channel a day. It's just giving away free value. It's just there for you. And the only thing stopping you from being mentored is by not doing, not taking action on what you're learning. On the channel. I get that we all want that like one-on-one, and that has its place and it's super important, absolutely. But don't let the fact that you don't have that stop you from being mentored, because, you know, Evan says all the time he gets mentored by the videos that he has on his own channel. So, um, Yeah, I'll kind of stop there, Evan. I know you might have some more to add there to that.

Yeah, I mean, we've talked a lot about mentorship before on the channel. Um, definitely, definitely super important, but realizing that yes, you are one already being mentored, you know, watching these videos, you're being mentored. Um, and so trying to surround yourself with more of that content, whoever it is that, you know, inspires you, motivates you, makes you excited, do it. On the other hand, if you're trying to get like in-person stuff, then the frustrating thing is, you know, nobody's going to come and just say, yeah, I'm going to be your mentor, because it again implies a longer-term relationship. And so just starting off with a question Like, I'm frustrated because I don't— I would love to have context so I can help you with something. If you want to be mentored by somebody, then ask a specific one question that you need help with and then go out and do something about it. We're just saying, I want to be mentored, doesn't give anybody enough context to actually give you some help. And so I'm sitting here playing and I'm frustrated because I want to help and I don't have the context to be able to do it because I didn't get asked a question around it.

Sure.

So hopefully that's a lesson for next time. In general, like even not— forget about just business mentorship, any kind of mentorship, you know, you want to go in asking a specific question, make it easy for somebody to say yes. Oh, are we fighting? What's happening here? We're fighting, we're fighting! No, not fighting. Just make it easy. Date before you get married. That's it, that's what I got. Good luck.

Good luck. Evan, I think too, just for those who are listening and who might be watching on a regular basis and emailing in, just a reminder that, you know, whether it's just for this Q&A or for anything, like, the more you can ask a question with a clear topic and how you want to get help, you know. I just wanted to say that maybe to help anyone else who writes in going forward. We get a lot of questions that don't have a lot of detail. They're very general, and you often then don't know how to really give the most value, which I know you are all about wanting to give value. So, yeah, so if you're writing in a question, try to be as specific as possible. Concise. Like, I'm not saying like you have to go into detail where you have like pages of questions, but concise and to the point of how you specifically need help. That will help us, I think, give you what you're actually looking for topically. So Evan, I'm— is that, is that okay for me to say that? Is that good?

Yeah, I think in general, like in life, clarity is an important thing. Clarity on what you want, clarity on what you need help with, clarity, clarity is— clarity can be a very powerful ally. [FOREIGN LANGUAGE] Oh, my team is getting destroyed. So I think we need to back out of this fight. Let's see if I can save J-Rise. J-Rise is safe, so good. All right, well, we're gonna win, but, uh, we have one more push, so let's do another question. One more question, I think. Let's do it.

Okay, let's do it. Next question is coming from Tanvir, and Tanvir says, hi Evan, I'm Tanvir from Bangladesh. I'm also from a lower A lower middle class family. Yeah, lower middle class, like emphasizing lower. Anyways, I watched your— one of your videos where you said to believe in yourself. I think it's mainly for the people who are willing to start a business or something similar to that, but in my case, I'm just a year 12 student who wants to study abroad for his better future. But I don't have enough money for that, and neither of my family supports. Please tell me how I can overcome this. I'm requesting you to not ignore this. Aw. I will appreciate with all my love to get your assistance. Tanvir. So, yeah, Tanvir, cool, super cool. Thanks for writing. A lot of people come to the channel not just because they're you know, entrepreneurs. We see all the time people who are just there because of the belief, and that's really what it's all about, and it transcends entrepreneurship. So cool question. Um, and, uh, you want to study abroad but you feel like you don't have the money or the support. I think that kind of comes down to what you— it really does come down to belief, you know. Again, you probably found the channel because that's something that you yourself are needing. When you don't have support, it's really hard to sometimes find that inner sense of belief in yourself. So I just wanted to encourage you that the lack of money or lack of support, really, even though it seems like it's It's a huge setback. You can overcome that. And I think that it just— it comes with you starting to practice some resourcefulness, researching ways to find funds or grants or scholarships for study. It comes from asking maybe if your family doesn't support you, maybe there are people around you in your in your school or that can. There always will be a way if you really, really believe that. And I think that's kind of, that's where it starts, is like believing that you can figure it out regardless of obstacles that are in front of you.

Yeah, I love it. Well, we won the game. I had a I got my S- on the team. I went 3 kills, 1 death, and 5 assists. J-Rise was 4-1-8, so we have a new win streak starting up today, which I'm excited by. Rishi's clapping it up. Yes, I agree. You know, the channel is not just for entrepreneurs. Initially, it was my intention to help entrepreneurs because that's who I can help the best, but the message of Believe is for everybody. Everybody has to believe in themselves and what they can do and what they're all about and the, you know, the impact that they can have. If you don't believe that, then you're going to continue being where you are. So a lot of the content is geared towards entrepreneurs, again, just because I have more knowledge there than anything else. But if I'm in this situation, I'm looking at two things. At the core is really how badly do you want it and what are you willing to do to get it. So, you know, on the one hand, if this foreign education is the thing that you must have in your life that, you know, you will not be successful unless you have that education in some other country, then one, work really, really hard right now to raise money to go and do it. And two, just find a way to go there, get to that country, make it work. You know, there's people who land in countries all the time with a lot less than what you have and figure out their path. But that's a painful and uncertain and scary thing to do, so you may not want it badly enough to do that. And two, maybe it's not all that important. Like, so many people have had tremendous success without having to go to a foreign university. That is not the be-all and end-all of you. You could learn a lot. I think you can learn a lot more— this is bold— you can learn a lot more by watching my channel than you could at a typical university education.

Thank you.

I said it. I said it.

Um, you're right.

You can, like, any specific knowledge you can find online and it's free. You just got to do the work to listen, apply it. You can do the work. So that's not what's holding you back. The school is not what's holding you back. And I would actually much rather you pull that limiting mindset that you have to go to that university to be successful than you, you know, going to start a business to try to raise money for that, or, you know, smuggle your way into that country or whatever it is. Because you can have massive success without going to that school. And until you believe that, then you won't. So there's some more belief for you. Mm-hmm. That's what I got. I'm excited. So much opportunity ahead.

Mm-hmm.

Cool. Well, we won our game. Thank you guys for all the love. I see the chat is having some good discussion there, the live chat. Rishi, how do we want to, how do we want to end our day? What's our message?

Well, we need to decide, are we just going to stay consistent with our opening message, or are we ending with a different message? That's a lot of messages.

I like having an end, like, I like how you think about what's happened today and then you end with a final reminder for everybody.

Yeah, cool.

Pull together the different themes that we've discussed and then you wrap it up in this little Rishi nugget for us to sit on, you know, for the rest of the day.

Yes, and I am going to try to do a message with clarity, being clear and concise, because that's what helps everybody. So the message for today is: You don't need a business plan. You don't need support of the people you hoped you had support from. You don't need the money. You don't need the approval of your professor who tells you that you can't do what it is that you said you were going to do. You just need your belief.

I like it. Believe! That's all you need. Believe is all you need. Do do do do do. It's true. All right, we're in a good mood. Well, thank you guys so much for watching. There's some more interviews and things happening on the channels today. 5 live streams, I think, still coming up. But if this is the last time I see you, hope you have an amazing day. I believe in you guys. I hope you believe in yourselves and whatever your one word is. Much love. We'll see you soon.
