i removed my limiting beliefs, now i'm a millionaire at 25

My name is Jimmy Fung, and at the age of 25 years old, I became a millionaire. A net worth millionaire. And I'm not saying that to brag or to show off or any of these things, but the reason that I'm making this video is today I wanted to share what were the largest limiting beliefs that really held me back, that really slowed me down. And the reason I'm making this video is because I truly wished that when I was first getting started, it in my entrepreneurship journey, in this entire online make money space, if I had a video like this and I actually watched it and I took it actually seriously, probably would have became a millionaire in half the time. And to give you a little bit more context, again, my name is Jimmy Fung, and I started my online business just three years ago, in the year of 2022. And in the three years since, I've been able to see a lot of success. And a large part of that was kind of how I thought about things, was my mindset. People say, some of the most successful people in the world, billionaires, literally say that the number one thing that separates someone who sees success in business and people who don't necessarily succeed, people who stall out, or people who end up failing, is all about what they think and their mindset. And I wanted to share my four biggest limiting beliefs that really held me back in this video. And the very first thing that I feel really held me back was the belief that making $10,000 a month is a lot of money. And I know that this might ruffle some feathers. Some of you guys might be watching this video and you guys might think, who's this entitled prick to tell me that 10 grand per month isn't that a lot of money? If I was making 10 grand per month, my life would be completely different. I'd be able to provide for my family. And all of those things can be true. But also, it's also true that $10,000 per month isn't necessarily a lot of money. Because if we think about it, 10 grand per month, that's $120,000 a year, right? There are quite a bit of jobs that you can make over 120 grand per month. If you went to university, there's a very strong chance that your professors, the teachers at your college, they're probably making at least 120 grand per year, or at least close to it, if not more, right? And the reason I'm sharing that is to really nail home the point that $10,000 per month really isn't that much money. And the biggest mistake that I made when I was first getting started was putting $10,000 per month on this pedestal. I kept on telling myself, oh, $10,000 per month will completely change my life. It's so hard to make because it's a shit ton of money. And it's not necessarily true, because I think anyone who gets to $10,000 per month, if you watch any other YouTuber who talks about making money, stuff like that, anyone who gets to $10,000 per month will very quickly tell you that in today's economy, $10,000 per month really isn't that much money. If you factor in taxes and then you factor in your, I don't know, your car payment, rent, mortgages, benefits, insurance, all of these different things, you're probably not left with a lot of money, especially in today's economy where everything around the world is just super, super expensive. And I think this is a very important point to note, because I think one of the biggest challenges that really makes it hard for someone to even see any success, much less get to $10,000 per month, is they put their goal on a pedestal. Yes, it's super important to set really big goals that you're genuinely excited about. Big, ambitious, hungry goals. But at the same time, you also need to have a perspective on your goals, where you look at it and you tell yourself, okay, $10,000 per month, that's a lot of money. Based on where I'm at, maybe right Now I'm making $3,000 per month, $4,000 per month, $5,000 per month, $10,000 per month. That's a lot of money. That's a sizable jump from where I am right now. But it's a realistic goal. It's not a goal that is impossible to make. I'm not out here trying to say that I'm going to make a billion dollars next year, that I'm going to become a millionaire in the next three months. That's not at all what I'm saying. And I think the sooner that you can tell yourself and generally believe that $10,000 per month is just. It's a lot of money, but it's not at the same time is the sooner that you will realize that. That getting to $10,000 per month really isn't that hard. And the reason it's not that hard is because that's not really a lot of money. So that's the number one limiting belief that really held me back. Now, the second limiting belief that really held me back was the idea of quitting or stopping what I was doing. So again, for a little bit more context, I started what's called an AI lead generation business. And again, I'm not gonna sit here and explain to you what that is. Cause that's not the purpose of this video. But throughout my entire journey, I cannot tell you the amount of times that I thought about quitting. And you always hear it all over from these motivation pages on Instagram, TikTok, from these successful people in the world, entrepreneurs, things like that. They always say that you just can't quit and if you don't quit, you can't lose. And it is true, right? If you don't quit, you don't lose. But the way I thought about that, at least in the beginning when I was first getting started, was it would be wrong of me to. To even have thoughts about quitting. And that could not be further from the truth. Because I think the sooner you realize that having these thoughts, having these thoughts about quitting or putting it on pause, these are normal thoughts. But what isn't normal, what's the thing that separates someone who sees success and someone who fails or someone who stalls out isn't that they don't get these thoughts about stopping or failing or having these doubts. But the key difference, the one key difference is, is they don't actually stop. Let me repeat that again. The thing that separates someone who succeeds and someone who doesn't succeed isn't that the person who succeed doesn't get these thoughts of stopping or quitting. It's that they don't actually act on it. That, yes, they might get these thoughts, they might wake up one day and they might not want to continue their business. That they might be up late at night thinking about, hmm, should I really continue this? They're getting these thoughts, but they don't actually act on it. The next day they wake up and they stay consistent. And they're consistently taking action, putting in the work and staying consistent with what they're doing and building the business. And that was the one biggest difference that I realized. So the sooner I realized that it's okay for me to have these thoughts, it's okay for me to have these doubts, it's okay for me to contemplate quitting or stopping or putting my business on pause. The. That's completely normal. But what isn't okay is actually stopping. What isn't okay is putting it on pause. And that's the sooner, the sooner I realized that I think I would have made so, so much more money if I realized that sooner. There's a quote that really resonates with me, right? It's completely fine to slow down a little bit, right? Life happens. Maybe something with the kids, maybe something at your job. If you're working your job and you're trying to start a side hustle, that's completely fine. Life happens. And there's one quote that really sticks with me. It's called slow motion is better than no motion, right? And that's an important quote. And I want you to remember that the next time you think about quitting. It's okay to slow down. It's okay to not dedicate as much time as you are right now, but as long as you're still actually doing the thing, that's completely fine. Now, this third limiting belief is a really big one. And I feel like it's a little bit cliche because people talk about it all the time, but it's really understanding the idea that there's really no perfect time to start. There will never be a time where you'll be able to take all this time off from your job, that your kids won't be bothering you, that you'd be highly motivated, that nothing happens with your family, stuff like that. And as a result of that, you're able to go all in and dedicate all of your time, all of your energy, all of your efforts and resources to into starting an online business or starting a business for that matter. That's a myth that simply does not exist. There will never be a time where everything just lines up inside of your life and it's the perfect time to start. It just simply doesn't work like that. But what actually does work is there will be always these random little things, but it's all about how you prioritize the things in your life. And the reason why I was actually thinking about this was because I actually have a very close friend of mine and he's thinking about launching a fitness brand, right? He's for a little bit more background context, he's working at a 9 to 5 job, he's an engineer, it's a pretty good job. And he doesn't have kids, but he's in the process of starting a family and he always wanted to start a business. So as a result he's starting a fitness brand. And the other day I was at the gym with him and I was asking him, alright man, so what's kind of your plan to starting this fitness brand? Obviously at the time of filming right now is like November and obviously anything related to fitness the best time of the year, the hottest period of the year, is obviously January, right? So in like, two months. So if he wanted to. So I was basically telling him, hey, if you wanted to catch that, demand, that wave in January, of all the people who are super motivated, ready to hit the gym, and as a result of that, make a lot, you know, increase the probability of making money, then you should really start making some moves right now, start taking action and laying the groundwork, the foundations, so that come January 2026, you're ready to, like, rock and roll. You're ready to crush it and take advantage of that wave. And the guy hits me with. And again, right? He's my very close friend, so, like, no disrespect to him, but he was just like, you know, I'll go with the flow. You know, right now is not really a good time. I'll see how it goes, right? And that's actually how a lot of people think. They think that now is not the good time. But in reality, you cannot have that thought, right? That was something that I had in the beginning, right? At the time when I was first getting started, I was working a job, a 9 to 5 job. But the way I thought about it was it's all about priorities. I understood why I was looking to start a business. I was asking myself, what's my reason why? Well, my reason why, just to be completely transparent, was I wanted to make more money, right? Like, greedily. I just wanted to make more money. I don't think there's anything wrong with that, because the reason I wanted to make more money was I wanted to provide more for my parents growing up. They were always very supportive. I wanted to provide for them. Now that I'm an adult and I'm capable of doing so, I wanted to provide for them. I wanted to set up my future family, right? I want to have kids one day, right? I want to get married one day. I want to make sure that my future family never stresses about finances. I wanted to selfishly provide for myself with all these material items. I wanted to buy a nice car. I wanted to buy a nice watch. I wanted to get the latest and newest gadgets, right? The latest iPhones, MacBooks, things like that. Those were my own selfish reasons, but those are my reasons why. And everyone has the reason why. And the most important thing I did was I sat down and asked myself, why am I doing this? Like, what is the legitimate reason why? And that was the reason that fueled me, right? That allowed me to really prioritize this And I think the biggest thing is just understanding that again, there's no perfect timing. But what there is is priorities. If something is of utmost priority for you, you're going to make the time. Whether you're busy at work, you have all these crazy things going on with the kids, doesn't matter. If it's something that's important to you, that is a priority to you, you're going to take it seriously. And the soonest I realized that was what allowed me to realize that again, there's no perfect time. People say super cliche thing again is the best time to start was yesterday. The next best time to start is today. Because again, the longer you push it off, it just becomes a compounding effect where today's not the perfect time, tomorrow's not the perfect time, next week's not the perfect time. And before you know it, six months went by and you still made no moves, right? You just wasted six months of your life, of your very limited life. And you didn't. They didn't get any closer to your goals or your reason why. Basically. Now, this fourth limiting belief was a really big one that really slowed me down. And it was the idea of a I couldn't get started because I just don't know enough yet. I need a perfect plan before I actually start. And this is a really big belief that really holds back a ton of people. And I don't blame them because I had this exact same belief. And the reason why is because I generally think that I'm more of an analytical thinker. There's like different types of people and everyone thinks a little bit differently. But I was a little bit more of an analytical thinker. I was always a chronic overthinker as well. I was always the type of guy to say, hey, I need to know as much as I can so that I can feel comfortable before doing anything. Before I started hitting the gym, I needed to, you know, grind a bunch of YouTube videos to understand the best workouts, what type of muscle groups they were actually exercising, why they would be effective. I wanted to understand these things, and that was just my personality. And I think there's a lot of people, if you're watching this video, maybe you are one of these people as well. But in business, in entrepreneurship, in a way, it actually penalizes the people who are chronic overthinkers because the people who succeed the quickest succeed the most. They're not always necessarily the smartest people. There's a quote again that goes, sometimes there are people who are dumber than you, who actually succeed way more than you. Or something along the lines of that quote. It's exactly true. There's so many people that I personally know that you probably know of as well, if you really think about it, who you probably think are less qualified than you, who are doing exactly what you want to do. Why? Why is that? Well, the reason is because they're not stopped, paused. They're not slowing themselves down mentally by concerning themselves with knowing literally everything there is to know. They're just taking action, right? Sometimes the dumbest people, they just blindly take action, not even knowing why they're doing the thing right? They're just like, all right, let me sit down, sit on my computer, do X, Y and Z and actually take action. And as a result, they obviously get the result. Because in business it's very, very simple. People like to overcomplicate it. All these people online make it some super complex thing. It's inputs and outputs. Inputs being the actions that you take, outputs being the results, being the money that you make, being the results that you're looking to achieve. The more inputs you do, the quicker you do those inputs, the more that you're going to get the results, the quicker you're going to get that results. The reason that I was able to see the results that I've seen is because I put in a shit ton of inputs in the beginning, and as a result, I got a shit ton of outputs, which is the results. It's really that simple in business. And you will need to understand that there will never be a time where you have the full picture that you understand everything that you need to know. Even right now, me right now, after being in the game for three years, running a few different businesses, working with a bunch of different people, making the money that I've made, I still don't know the full picture, right? I don't know what it takes to get to the next level. Yeah, I made a million dollars. Yeah, I'm a millionaire. But how do I become. How do I get to 10 M's? How do I get to $10 million? I don't know, but I will never know until I get there. But the most important thing is I have a plan in place and I'm just taking action to that. I wake up every single day and I ask myself, what is the version of Jimmy who's worth $10 million in two to three years from now? What's he doing every single day? Is he sleeping in? Is he staying out late, partying? Is he going to the club every single week, getting blackout drunk? Is he doing a shit ton of drugs? What is he doing? Or is that version of Jimmy who's worth $10 million? Is he waking up every single day? Is he staying healthy, going to the gym? Is he building and fostering his relationships with his loved ones, with his family, with his friends? Is he working hard every single day, taking action? Is he reading books? Is he learning? Is he improving? What is he doing? And that's really the biggest lesson that I learned is whenever I had doubt, which is basically every single day in entrepreneurship, in the game of entrepreneurship, I just asked myself, what is the version of me who has achieved my goal? What is he doing every single day? What is he or she doing every single day? And once I was able to internalize that, everything just became so much easier, infinitely easier in business, because that was my guiding north star, if that makes sense. And those were really the fourth four largest limiting beliefs that really held me back. And gosh, I wish if I again, right, if I had a video like this when I was first getting started, I would be multiple steps ahead. I'd probably be worth several M's, right? But at the end of the day, I'm grateful for my journey. I'm grateful for the lessons that I've been able to learn. And as a result of that, I've been able to document that onto this YouTube channel and really share it with my subscribers, with the people like you who are watching this video, who actually resonates with my story, who resonates with these lessons. And my goal is just to change one single life every single day from these videos by sharing my own personal journey, my own personal lessons. And if you do like that, drop me a. Like, drop me a. Subscribe, drop me a comment with an insight that you learned from any of my videos, because I always check my comment section. And I always feel so happy when I'm able to. When I know that I'm able to change lives, right? That's the most important thing. But that's pretty much it for today's video. And I'll see you in the next one. See ya.
