Jay rejects a 24-year-old mentee applicant for lacking urgency and real pain driving him to change. He argues that comfort kills ambition and that only hardship forces people to take action, using his own blue-collar upbringing as proof.

We're up, not down. It's 8 in the morning. This shit about to go down. All right, we just got off 4 calls this Sunday evening. Very productive, as you might say. That room is going to have a lot of upgrades. We're going to fucking buy way more things, some cool lighting. That way you guys have something cool to look at when I'm talking to you and it's not just my face. Right now, we're going to go do some shopping at the mall. And we'll be right back with the regular scheduled programming. So there's two different types of people in this world. There's the boy and there's the man. There's the action taker and just the talker. There's the person that decides to take the risk and the person that holds back and stays in the same position. I'm going to tell you guys about a guy that I talked to earlier today. This guy said he was interested in the program. He said he literally explained my personal life story in his own way. That's how much the people that are interested in my program, people that listen to my videos, like you guys watching it, you relate to me in some way. And this guy did too, right? So they hopped on a call with me. I kind of just asked him some questions just to see where he was at, where he was at, how I can help him, what was holding his back, what was holding him back, and how he could get to his goals faster. He said he wanted to wholesale. He said he worked for his parents' construction company. He He was 24 years old, living at his parents' house, not where he wanted to be in life. And he's telling me all these things and he's telling me he wants coaching for one-on-one, he wants his hand held, he wants clarity on the business model that he's been looking at for the past 5 years and is finally ready to start. And I asked him, "Why is now a good time?" He says, "Because now I have more time. Now I have more money to invest." So many factors on why now is the good time for him to start wholesaling. I'm not selling him on anything. I'm just listening to what he's telling me and figuring out, hey, would this be a good person for my program? Would this be a good person that would have a very high chance of success in the program? So we go through all of that and then he starts making up excuses. He starts saying, oh, it's expensive, you know, and I was telling him, hey, I mean, outside of the price, do you think this would help you? He said yes. He said, I don't know if now is a good time, you know, starting to give me all these objections and I just kind of sat there and laughed at him and I was like, Not like laughed at him in a bad way, but laughed and said like, "Bro, is that like the best you could come up with? Like, is that what's really gonna be the reason to hold you back from getting started in something you've been trying to do for the past 5 years?" And it really, it pissed me off in a way, not 'cause he didn't buy in, you know, because somebody like that that can't make a decision, that can't make up his own mind, that can't realize that the opportunity that he has in front of him is what's gonna get him closer to his goals, and can't make a decision about it, that's not somebody I want in the program, right? That's somebody that, hey, when they get called on the phone by a seller and get cussed out when a seller doesn't accept their offer, when a seller, you know, hangs up on them, that's somebody that's going to give up, right? Somebody that can't simply make a decision that's better for them, somebody that can't handle pressure. And it pissed me off in a way that there's so many people out here that are saying, I want to do this, I want to get rich, I want to make more money, I want to change my situation, I want to be the first rich person in my family. And seeing a guy like this that literally is carbon copy of me He— we're a similar age. I'm 21, he's 24. Both our dads work in blue collar. We understand how much harder our dads work for money than the average white person, right? I'm not being racially profiling here, but I know what he went up— what he went through, right? Every single summer working with our dad, every single summer seeing our dad wake up early morning, go to sleep late at night, and just work to pay fucking bills, right? And he's okay with that reality of His dad being able to tell him, I pay for everything, I pay for your whole lifestyle, you are a byproduct of me, you're not a real man, which is something that my dad told me in the beginning of my journey. Because I would, you know, as you grow up, as you go through puberty, as you, as you grow up as a young man, you start to think for yourself, you start to come up with your own decisions, you start to kind of not necessarily fight back but push back on some thoughts and some opinions and some teachings from your parents, right? That's what a young man does. Even a young woman does that, right? So when my dad told me it was, it was a realization of, damn, you are paying for my bills. I am living under your roof. You are paying for most of my stuff. And I can't really fight back or I can't really say something back to you without me being my own man. I can't tell you that you're doing something wrong when me and my world, I'm under you. I'm completely reliant on you as a man, which there's nothing wrong with that, right? I just took it very personally because I hate authority. And some of you guys might relate to that. Some of you guys might not. But I hated being told what to do growing up. I hated teachers telling me what to do, when to do it, if I could go to the bathroom or not. I hated people that I knew I was more capable of and people that I knew I had more potential than telling me what to do. It was like, what is the audacity that you have? But you can't say anything about it when you're fucking 14. You can't say anything about it when you're 10 because you don't have that social proof. You don't have that backing. You don't have that track record of you doing what you're telling yourself you're gonna do, of you coming up with your own decisions, coming up with your own opinions, and it working out for you. Because once you have that, once you have that proof of concept, you can have your own opinion, right? You can, you can fight back. You can relay new opinions to somebody that maybe is making more money than you, maybe has a different path in life, like your parents. You can't sit there and tell your parents that they're doing something wrong when you're not doing shit for yourself. So that was one thing that motivated me as a young man to start my entrepreneurship journey, to take that risk, to know that I am my own man. No other man is going to tell me, I did this for you, I built this for you, you result because of me. I didn't want that to happen. I didn't want that to be my reality. I didn't want somebody telling me, your daddy's money. I didn't want somebody telling me, this guy did this for you. You would be nowhere without this guy. Now granted, props to my dad. I am grateful. He's the best dad in the world. I couldn't ask for a better one. And in a way, I am here because of him, because of his teachings, because of his way of, you know, treating his son growing up. He treated me the way that I would treat my own son. I didn't give anything, right? I didn't give— I wouldn't give my son everything he— I didn't have growing up. Because every single situation, every single teaching that my dad brought me is the reason that I am the man today, is the reason at 21 years old I'm able to take care of my parents, is the reason at 21 years old I have a huge following of guys like you that see me as somebody that's ahead of you guys, where I am a mentor even if you guys don't pay me, because I've learned so many lessons of taking the risk of becoming this human that my dad has created. So shout out to my dad. He actually just made an Instagram to follow me, so I hope you see this. But that's besides the point. The teaching that I'm going— the point that I'm going with all this is that this guy did not have enough pain, wasn't miserable enough in his situation to make the change, to take the risk, to take the step, to take the action, to actually invest in a program that's going to change his life. Why, bro? He's living in his parents' house. What the fuck else? He doesn't pay no rent, he doesn't pay for food, he doesn't pay for his parents' bills. The job that he's working, he's making $7,000, $8,000 a month working for his dad. Where's the pain in that? He told me he gets off work at 2 PM every day. Where's the pain in that, right? You got life easy. Why do you need to start wholesaling, right? So after the call, I start thinking, it's like, why would this guy do this? There's no reason for this guy to buy into my program, you know, go through the learning curve, start his own business, and take the risk to make more money and change his reality because he already likes his reality, right? And for a lot of you guys that are watching my channel, that's just the truth. Some of you guys' reality is simply way too nice. You're too comfortable, right? You already drive an okay car that you're okay with. You're you're okay eating shit every day. You're okay with your— maybe working for your dad's construction company like I was and being, you know, an employee of your dad's company. That's perfectly fine for 99% of people. That's your reality, right? And that's completely fine. Just me personally, the reason that I'm here is because I didn't want that reality. I wanted to take the risk. I wanted to put myself in a position where nobody could tell me what the fuck to do. And this guy simply couldn't do it, you know? And sad to say, I love my Mexicans, I love Mexican food, but this was one of those Mexicans That is not— it's not the real Mexican. I like the real Mexicans, the ones that put their balls on the fucking table and say who the fuck they are and do the fucking walk as they talk. This guy was just talking out of his ass.
