i was tired of being broke so i did this...

If I had to start over my journey all over again, and I had only one video to make to give myself advice, it would be this video. I want you guys to watch this video, put a notepad to the side, write down everything I'm going to tell you, because this is all the advice that led me from going from the first picture that you saw in the thumbnail to now where I'm living the life of my dreams, living the life that even more than my dreams, right? I didn't expect to have a supercar at such a young age. I didn't have them expect to have as much money as I have now, expect to be able to take care of my parents on a daily basis, not only with their expenses but also, you know, they don't have to work anymore. And to have that power and that effect on multiple other people based off my social media and helping other people get their result, I think I'm pretty qualified to make a video like this, giving advice to my younger self and even my little brother which I'm going to send this video to afterwards. I'm going to tell them, hey, watch this and follow the advice word for word, bar for bar. But to start, I mean, I started with, um, humble beginnings. My parents didn't come from a rich family. My parents weren't rich themselves. They were working-class Americans that came to this country as immigrants trying to pursue the American dream. My mom was a babysitter for a little bit until she stopped working. My dad was working HVAC and still is to this day. He's a service technician. He has his own company now. Blue-collar work, right? My mom's stay-at-home, only one income for the house. I always wanted very expensive things based off the stuff that I saw on social media. I always wanted the expensive shoes. I was always looking at nice cars. Every time we would go somewhere as a family, I would point out to the Lambo, I would point out to the Ferrari, I'd point out to, you know, all these expensive things that I really, really wanted. And all that was shot down as I was growing up from my parents of, hey, stop looking at that. Hey, that's not yours. Hey, if you don't have the money to buy it, stop talking about it. Like all these things that I assume a lot of you guys are also the same way in the way that you grew up, as far as your surroundings, as far as your parents, as far as their beliefs and what they instill in you growing up. So me growing up, I was taught to be humble. I was taught to, you know, follow the blueprint that everybody and their mom and every immigrant parents wants for their children, right? The most comfortable position, the most comfortable path. That is the least resistance and is the safest. You know, as a parent— I'm not a parent, but I would imagine as a parent, that's what you want for your children. And that's what most immigrant families want. And that's what they wanted for me. They wanted me to go to school, get really good grades, graduate from high school, get the stuff where they pay for your college, right? Get— I don't know. That's how, you know, that's how disconnected I am from— when they pay for your college, right? You get enough good grades. You get your college paid for, and then you graduate, you get a good-paying job, and then you get to flex that title to your parents, and your parents flex that title to their family members. And that's obviously what most immigrant families want for their children. And I decided to go the opposite. I decided to take this risk coming to this country and, you know, take it from there. And I decided to take a risk on top of that. So obviously they weren't all on board with me as far as, you know, on this journey of entrepreneurship, on just on this journey that's risky. Above all, and to kind of put all these opportunities that I have as a, you know, American citizen born here, free school that I had, and just to throw them all away to take the risk on a business and take the risk on entrepreneurship and take the risk on myself. They weren't the most on board. So I want to talk about those things, you know, my journey on, you know, I was working with my dad every single summer in HVAC. I try to do a pressure washing company. I I tried day trading, I tried so many things and I tried to make everything work. But for the most part, those failures were not because of the business model. Those failures weren't because maybe of my lack of information on the actual business model. It was all because of me. I was the problem. And once I realized that because I'm the problem, I can also be the solution, right? And when you're the solution, obviously you can do whatever your mind comes to. So yeah, I went from not making any money to barely making money to jumping through the gate and making a shit ton of money with wholesale real estate. And it only took a couple of years for me to really get it down and live the life that I'm living now. Right. I drive my supercar, a McLaren 720S, at the age of 21. I got it when I was 20. I got a Raptor as a daily. I live in a beautiful house in the suburbs. My parents, I pay for everything for them, right? So they're happy as fuck. I'm able to take care of them and splurge on them on their birthdays, on weekends, on normal days. Throughout the year. And I'm a great example for my little brother, you know, somebody pretty much a little version of me. And I'm able to be the big brother that I never had and that had to become myself, you know, that pillar of support, that foundation. I'm able to be that for him and lead him in the right direction, which I'm very grateful for, not only because of the person that I've become, but also to God all glory to the Most High. And now obviously I have all the materialistic things I'm able to provide for my loved ones. I have a beautiful group of friends that are all entrepreneurs, all making a lot of money, and all with the same mindset that I have. So obviously my group and my circle is very tight-knit and is the circle that you need to really be successful at the highest level possible. But the first thing where it really all starts from going from a loser to a winner, which again, I'm not pointing any fingers, I was the guy in the first picture, that's why you clicked on this video. The first one is goal setting. Right? You have to set your goals because you have to figure out what is the benchmark, right? What am I trying to reach? Why am I doing all these things? Why am I taking so much sacrifice? It's to get to this specific goal. And one thing I'll tell you about goals is don't necessarily put a timeline to it because it'll never be met. And if you really put all your emphasis and all your confidence onto that timeline, you will always be let down and you will never be happy. You will always be miserable. So I don't suggest putting a timeline. Obviously, you always want to act with urgency, but the timeline is not the end-all be-all, right? The main thing is the goal and achieving that in the first place. And from there, obviously, as you achieve your goals, you become more aspirational. You want to achieve more and more and more and more. And as human beings, you know, it's never enough. So the first thing is goal setting. You want to figure out what is your financial goal? What is your health goal? What is the perception that you want to have from people, right? What— how do you want people to react to you? How do you want people to talk to you? How do you want people to treat you, right, with this goal that you're trying to achieve? What is your provision goal, right? Who do you want to provide for? Your family? Maybe you have kids. Maybe you have little siblings. Maybe you have older siblings, right? Maybe you want to take care of charity people, people you don't know. Whatever the case may be, your provision goal and your why, which is arguably the most important, that's gonna drive you through those hard times when you really want to quit when you start this entrepreneurship journey, when the stuff really gets hard and you start overthinking about everything that you're doing and why you're doing it. That why is going to be your foundation to keep you going, right? My specific why was I want to prove my parents wrong. As I told you in the beginning, my parents are immigrants, right? They don't want me taking risk. They don't believe that it's possible. They think that the likelihood of achievement is very, very low. I want to prove them wrong. Second of all, I want to give them the life that they've never had, right? At the end of the day, it was my parents'— and it still is my parents'— first time living on this earth. So I want to make that experience as extravagant as possible. Something that I wasn't able to be given, I want to be the person to give it, right? Um, health goal: I want to be jacked as fuck, right? I want to be 220 pounds, 10% body fat, be able to do 225 for reps, 315 for reps, right? That is my health goal. To be able to run a mile, no problem. To be able to, you know, be a healthy individual and not have to play a pickup basketball game and 5 minutes in I'm running out of breath. Right? My provision goal, again, taking care of my parents and all these things that I really wanted and the perception that I wanted. I was tired of being, um, in the shadows in a way, not of somebody, but just in the general shadows of me being somewhat introverted, sometimes me talking too much, not being perceived as somebody valuable to speak to, being seen as somebody that's broke. That really hurt me because I have a— I've always had a huge ego. And that's one thing that I will always thank my parents is that that they said, you're different, right? You're different. We come from a good family. We're people with class, whatever the case may be. So I was always acting with an ego, but I didn't have anything to prove myself with, right? So I had the good looks. I was, you know, I was good-looking, but I didn't have much going besides that, right? I didn't speak well. I had terrible habits. I didn't have any money. I didn't have any success, you know, besides the early success in elementary school when I was the smartest kid in class, which didn't fucking matter. Right? So you first have to figure out your goals and why, right? So that's the number one thing. Because the next part is the removal process, right? You got to remove everything that's clearly keeping you in a certain position. And right here on my notes, I have women, friends, family, drugs, social media, junk food, spending habits, dopamine, validation, excuses, and overthinking. All these things you have to really list down and say, all right, what's what was holding me back? And I'll tell you from my experience, my friend group was holding me back, right? The people that I chose to surround myself with. And that you see, at first I said my friend group, and that's relaying the responsibility to somebody else and not taking it for myself. But then I said, I chose to surround myself around those people, I chose to act in accordance to those people wanting to be around me, right? I was following the habits that everybody was doing in the circle, right? The drugs that I was using, I was smoking weed every single day, I was, you know, doing other things that there's no point in me bringing up, but you get the point. I was, I was under these substances because I was trying to escape my reality, right? I hated the fact that I hadn't achieved anything. I hated the fact that my parents are mad at me for not going to college, for not paying attention to school. I hated the fact that I had this ego, but I had nothing to prove myself, right? I had nothing to back it up. So it was something that was easily, that would go into crumbs because it just stands on nothing. There's no foundation there. Right? So my removal process started with that, removing, removing myself from those friend groups, removing the drug uses, removing eating like shit every single day, making sure I remove my bad sleeping habits. I would go to bed at 3 in the morning, and then I would wake up at 2 PM and then be pissed off at myself, not even want to get out of bed because I'm already thinking that the day's fucking wasted, right? So there's no point, right? I was having a lot of trouble waking up out of bed because because I knew I was going to live the same miserable day over and over and over again, right? And I was, and I was not taking responsibility for myself because I was saying, it doesn't really matter. It's okay, I'm still in a comfortable position. And if I, if I make it, if I don't make it, it doesn't make a difference. I'm still going to be miserable, right? So all those thought loops, all those limiting beliefs were stacking upon each other, plus all these other factors that were keeping me down to the person that I didn't want to be, right? And for a lot of people, it takes a breaking point for you to break out of that system, break out of that environment to really make a change, right? So for myself, it was, you know, in a way removing my family, right? Removing myself from my family, not being home as much, getting my, my own office where I was paying $1,000, $1,500 a month just to be there the whole time and focus on my business, focus on myself, focus on improving, right? I stopped hanging around a bad group of friends. I stopped using drugs. I stopped with these bad habits of my sleeping, right? I stopped overloading on social media, watching what everybody else was doing instead of focusing on myself, right? Spending habits. Every time I would make some money, I would blow it all because I didn't have any good spending habits, right? For a lot of you guys, or maybe you watching this video, you might be making $5K a month right now at your job, but you might be blowing the whole thing and you might be living month to month, right? And the same thing happens at a bigger scale. I could be making $100,000 a month, but I'm out. But if I'm spending $100,000 a month, I'm still living on the same terms you are. I just have more expensive shit, right? So all these things matter because at a bigger scale, it doesn't matter how much money you have. It doesn't matter what girl you have. It doesn't matter how much people support you. If you still have these bad habits, it's going to all crumble and your success will be very, very short-term. And I can tell you that from my personal experience. My first deal for $30,000, I blew it on a car. So all these things, you have to make sure it's all in alignment. Right? Women, friends, family, drugs, social media, eating like shit. If you eat like shit, you're gonna feel like shit, and you're not going to be able to work, right? You're going to be tired, your stomach's going to be focused on processing, all your energy is going to go there processing that shitty food. You're not going to have any time to think clearly, right? That's— all that stuff matters. And these little, these little bits and pieces that actually move the needle for you getting to where you want to be. And none of these things are specifically, oh, if you stop talking to women, you're magically going to make more money. No, if you stop hanging around a bunch of bums, you're going to make more money. If you stop eating like junk food, you're going to make more money. No, that's not the correlation there. The correlation is behind everything, right? You were setting your goals, right? You know exactly where you want to be. You're starting with the removal process. You're removing all these things that are not getting you closer to your goal of either being it being financial, it being the perception that you have from people, either it being the provision that you have for everybody else, right? All these things play a part in the fact that you're not where you want to be in life, right? So you set your goals, you have the removal process, and then your mindset. First, you have to start by accepting responsibility. I was living in this cycle of mediocrity, of miserableness, right? So that was what attracted to myself, not only because I didn't take responsibility for my own actions, but because I was blaming the world. I was mad at the world because I didn't live the life that I wanted live. Can you fucking believe how the audacity that I had? I was so mad. And this is one thing that even my friends that I've known for years tell me. It's like, bro, the more money you make, the nicer you become. Yes, because I'm not mad at the fucking world, because I know everything that I've done, everything that I've achieved came from my own personal actions and me taking responsibility. Therefore, the way that I act reflects the life that I'm living, right? For, for— and if you're— if You're feeling the exact same way. I can, I can tell you from my personal experience. And if you're feeling the same way, I can tell you from my personal experience, you need to stop being mad at the world and you need to start being mad at yourself because you are the one that's responsible for everything that's happening in your life, right? At the end of the day, every single thing that's happened to you, every single situation you've been in, every single person that's surrounding you, every single person that's not surrounding you, every single person that doesn't want to talk to you every single person that doesn't want to do business with you, it's because of your own personal actions. So you have to realize what is in my control and what is outside of my control and only focus on the things that are in your control. Because if you focus on the things that are outside of your control, you will forever, forever be miserable, forever be disappointed, right? You can't control the weather, you can't control what other people do, you can't control the results sometimes, right? You can only control the inputs. And if you're okay, and you become satisfied with the inputs that you put into the the business and you've seen progress, that's all that matters. And that's what you should be focusing your joy on, right? So accepting responsibility, discipline over motivation, right? You're going to be motivated as fuck after watching this video. I know that for sure. But then what's going to happen tomorrow when you wake up tired, right? What's going to happen 2 weeks from now when you started the business and then, you know, you're not getting the result you want, right? The expectation was set the right way and you thought you were going to get rich overnight. What's going to happen then when the motivation is gone, right? When you get on the phone with a seller and he backs out of a deal? Where is that motivation gonna go? That shit's gonna go flat, right? So that's when you have to rely on your inputs, on your discipline, on the consistency of doing the same thing over and over and over and over again to continue to see progress and to start to seeing the result that you want. None of this shit is gonna happen overnight. None of this shit is gonna happen by accident. Overnight success happens over a period of years of progress, right? You guys see me on social media. I have the car, I have the lifestyle, take care of my, whatever the case may be. Right? You see this lifestyle that I'm living, but you didn't see all the years where I was sitting at that office after losing a deal, shaving my head fucking bald, sitting on that windowsill. I'll probably pull up the picture, fucking depressed out of my mind, not knowing what the fuck I'm gonna do, not knowing how I'm gonna solve a problem, not knowing how I'm gonna solve a bottleneck in my business because I simply don't have the knowledge or don't have the experience, right? You guys didn't see the moments like that. And on social media, nobody's gonna highlight that. Nobody's gonna highlight the times where they really want to fucking with. Nobody's going to highlight the times where they lost a shit ton of money. Nobody's going to highlight that because nobody wants to see that, right? Nobody wants to perceive in that light. I'm okay with showing it because it's in my past, right? I'm not going to be talking about the problems that I'm currently facing because I'm already developed enough to know that, hey, I'm going to be able to solve these problems moving forward, right? So there's no point in me highlighting that. Um, but discipline over motivation. You have to have consistency in the process, accepting that you aren't like them, right? If you're watching this video, if you're even subscribed to this channel, you have some sort of thought in your mind that says, I'm going to be able to achieve success at a high amount. You're different than 99% of people. 99% of people don't even have the belief that they're able to be successful, don't even have the belief that they're able to afford a car, don't even have the belief that they're able to live in a nice neighborhood. They don't have that belief because of so many external factors. So you have to realize that if you have that belief, if you have that dream in your mind, if you have that thing bugging you in the back of your brain saying you are worth more, you are capable of more, your potential is more than the average person. You have to understand that and be okay with being treated differently, right? Be okay with people talking behind your back, be okay with people laughing at your efforts, be okay with failing. That's just what part— what is part of the game, right? A lot of people are scared to fail, but you can't fucking win if you can't fail, right? I've failed so many times, I can't tell you the amount of deals that I've lost. I can't tell you the amount of videos that I've posted that have flopped. I can't tell you the amount of times I've gotten cussed out over the phone. I can't tell you the amount of times I didn't get the offer that I wanted on my property. I can't tell you the amount of times that I bought programs and I got fucking scammed. I can't tell you the amount of times I drove out to a property and ended up getting ghosted, right? There's so many failures, but that's part of the fucking game. That's the reason that I'm as knowledgeable as I am. That's the reason I'm as skilled as I am. That's the reason I'm where I'm at, and a lot of you guys aren't. Simply because I've done this for longer than you and I failed more than you and I still haven't fucking quit and I don't plan on fucking doing it, right? Accepting that you aren't like them. Long-term thinking. Stop thinking about next month. Stop thinking about 2 months from now. Start thinking in longer terms. Everybody loves to talk about monthly income, especially in the online money space, especially when we're talking about, you know, business revenue and stuff like that. Everybody likes to talk about monthly revenue. You need to stop That's my sales team meeting that I gotta do. But that's besides the point. You got to stop thinking in these short term— obviously it matters with your goals, it matters with how much progress you're making. But be okay with the result being a year down the line. Be okay with the result being 5 years down the line. Be okay with the result being 12 months down the line. Whatever the case may be, stop looking for that instant gratification in the business. Stop looking for that instant gratification into your inputs. When you fucking plant a seed, it's not gonna grow immediately. Right? If the shit grows immediately, there's something wrong. That shit's probably poisoned, right? And it's probably not a good plant. But if you plant the seed, you water it over a long period of time, you make sure that you fix the sun so it hits it the right way, you make sure that you have the right weather, you make sure you have air hitting that shit, you make sure you add all the nutrients, it's gonna grow for a long period of time, it's gonna grow healthy, and it's gonna be sustainable. All those people that you see on the internet, or maybe not the internet, but just in general, the people that see quick success, those are the people that fall faster and harder than they came up. Right? Quick success. If it's not backed up by the right foundation, then it's, it's meant for failure. Right? So make sure that, hey, if you're not getting the result 20 days, 30 days, 60 days down the line, that's completely fine. But if you're seeing progress, if you see yourself getting better, that's all that matters, because the result will come. Focus on the inputs, focus on educating yourself, focus on the skill set, Focusing— focus on becoming a better entrepreneur and a better human being all around, and the result will come. I can fucking— I don't know how much I have to imply that, but that's the fucking truth, right? If you— if you focus too much on the result, you're never gonna consistently do the work. You're never gonna fall in love with the process. You're never gonna fall in love with the journey. You're only gonna fall in love with the end result, but the end result will not come if you don't fall in love with the journey, right? Remove the limiting beliefs. You're capable of doing anything you fucking want. Right? You want to go out there and start a fucking whatever business, you're able to do it, right? It's realistic for you to do it. It's realistic once you set the goal and once you reverse engineer it and know and have clarity on what specifically you have to do to get to that goal, right? You want a fucking McLaren? Okay, it's $250,000. How much do you really need for the down payment, right? What credit score do you need? What type of car credit do you need, right? Would you— is it better to live in a house or is it better to have an apartment? As far as your credit profile, right? How many credit cards should you have, right? How much cash should you have in the bank account to make the down payment, right? Do you want to pay for it in cash? Would you rather do it under your company? You got to figure all these things out. What spec you want, what year you want, right? What wheels you want on the car. You have to figure this stuff out to the minute detail to be able to have clarity on it and then say, okay, I really only need like $80,000 to put as a down payment. My monthly payment's only gonna be like $3,000. All right, my insurance is probably gonna be like $1,000, right? The repairs, let's say it's only like $15,000 in repairs all year. That's another $1,000 on top of the monthly payment. $5,000 a month, what should I make every single month profit take home to be able to afford a McLaren? Okay, so I'm gonna be spending around $5,000 to $6,000 a month for this car, right? What is the benefits of having this car? What are the cons of having this car? How will it benefit me, right? Is now the right time to do it? How much money should I be making every single month? All right, if I'm making, you know, $35,000 a month take-home after taxes, I can afford the car and I think it's a good idea, especially now that I'm young, right? Whatever the case may be, you have— everything is fucking possible. It's all realistic, right? And you have to remember that every single one of your beliefs has been programmed to you based off your environment, based off who you talk to, based off who you learn from, based off all these things and who you listen to online. You gotta think about it this way, wherever you're putting your attention, when you're paying attention, you're paying attention, your attention is worth something, right? That's why I'm making this video because your attention is worth something. I'd rather you watch my video than you watch somebody else's video, right? So you have to really take everything with a grain of salt that you're listening on the internet because you're paying your attention to that person. And indirectly, even if you haven't paid me yet, I'm your mentor, right? Because you're taking advice from me because I have the result that you want, right? I feel like I'm kind of rambling on, but all these things matter, right? Making progress over making profit, making sure that you're focusing on the journey, you're focusing on the day-to-day, you're focusing on, on the inputs over focusing on the profit at the back end, right? Obviously you have to be profitable, but first you have to be skillful. To be profitable. Embrace the day-to-day, you know. Don't, don't, don't fall out of love for the day-to-day journey, only focus on the end result. As far as mindset, these videos— if you have limiting beliefs, if you don't believe in yourself, if you have a lack of confidence, if you have a lack of conviction, you need to watch these guys: Jim Rohn, Earl Nightingale, Bob Proctor, Brian Tracy, and just videos of general stoicism. Those were the things that completely changed my own personal mindset from being from, from broke-y thinking, of thinking that I wasn't able to do something, of thinking that I was incapable of doing something, that I wasn't meant for something, that I wasn't deserving, that, that it was never gonna happen, that it wasn't, it wasn't supposed to come easy. All these things, all these limiting beliefs that I personally had were removed by watching these people and really studying them and taking everything that they told me and putting it into action and living that life day to day, right? Faking it until I make it. If I didn't have the confidence at the moment, I acted like I did to feel better about myself. And to make progress in my life. Then clarity. You need clarity on whatever business you're starting. Why are you starting that business? Why are you starting that business? How are you gonna start that business? Do you have an edge in that specific industry, right? Do you have something that makes you better than everybody else, right? This is something where it's programs, it's mentorship, it's courses, it's masterclasses, it's seminars. You have to pay for the information and also to get in the room with those people that you want to be around, the people with the same mindset, the of people that, that want those goals that you want also, and that are willing to help you along the journey, right? I myself have 5, 6 friends that all constantly buy mentorships. I paid for one for $5,000 earlier this month. Then before that, I paid one for $12,000, right? Ever since I bought my first program and I saw progress, I've never stopped buying programs after that because it's literally a cheat code. How do you think— oh, I don't know, how do you think is the best way to start that example? But anytime I talk to any 40-year-old, any 50-year-old, all these old investors that I'm selling deals to, they always say, Jay, you don't know how far ahead you are than 99% of people. And you think I'm that far ahead from watching fucking YouTube videos? No, I'm that far ahead because I paid for the fucking information from somebody that's done this shit for 10 years, for 15 years, that's made millions, millions, millions, millions of dollars in a specific industry or for for a specific problem that I'm trying to solve in my business. And I don't want to wait years. I don't want to burn all that money. I don't want to go through the learning curve. I just want to pay for the cheat code, right? And someone like me is someone I wish I had when I was first going into wholesale real estate, because I think my program is the fucking best. I got so many fucking results. Everybody's happy with the program. I have very little chargeback rate. I think only one guy that said he wanted to change his payment from one card to another, so he disputed the transaction. Do you fucking believe that shit? What a guy. But it is what it is. If you guys want to learn how to wholesale real estate, if you guys appreciate the advice, like, comment, subscribe.
