Maxime Warnault shares three lessons from 2024: cancer in his family taught him to prioritize health through daily exercise and cold plunges; working for coaching firms didn't build personal wealth, so he's launching his own SaaS business; and he's focusing on deepening relationships and impact on others. He's committing to weekly YouTube videos in 2025.

In this video, I'm gonna share the 3 biggest lessons I've learned in 2024 and what am I going to do about it in 2025. I review my goals every week, every month, every quarter, every year. I have my 10-year vision. And this year, at the end of the year, I reviewed my goal. And I generally break down my goal into 3 different life categories. The first one is health. Second one is wealth, and the third one is relationships. I'm gonna go in order, cause they are pretty important lessons, and health. Unfortunately, I had a few family members either having cancer currently or passing from. This year has been a little bit tough in terms of diseases in my family, and I'm doing everything I can already to make sure that doesn't happen to me. But when that happens to someone in your family, there is not much you can do about it. And, but I reflected on their lifestyle and what they've been up to and all of these things. And they are like, I would say 3 major factors and common denominator that made, in my opinion, the cancer to propagate. Number 1 is Alcohol consumption. Two of my uncles drank a lot of alcohol. Both of them smoked cigarettes, which is the second cause, in my opinion. And the third one is not a substance, but it's related to stress. We all face a lot of stress in life. And this year, one of my goals is really to reduce the amount of stress that I'm facing and really focus on having peace. Peace. And not always chase the next thing and the next thing and the next thing and be able to be present in the moment rather than chasing and stressing myself out because I know it's not good for me. And that's also one of the reasons of that cause cancer. So that's the health lesson and doing everything that I do right now, I am in the best shape of my life and I'm exercising every single day. I go to sauna every day. I do cold plunge multiple times a week. I lift weight and this year I'm gonna start running again to be more like a hybrid athlete. Okay. So I want to improve my VO2 max and keep going to the gym and increase my muscle mass because as you grow, you actually lose muscle mass. So the more muscle mass you have as you grow, you're gonna eventually lose it, but the more you have, the lower it is for you to lose the weight. So that's for the health lesson. Wealth lesson is very simple. It's, it's something that I reflected on and comparing this year to the last few years. And I haven't made any progress in terms of my income, but I learned a lot. I've had a lot of skills the last 3 years, but the lesson is you're never going to get rich working for for entrepreneurs. So the last 3 and a half, 4 years, I've been working for this business coaching company in the US. They are like a $100 million business coaching company. And I've learned a shit ton of skills. At this point, I've coached like thousands of clients. So I've helped thousands of people start and scale their businesses. So I have a lot of skills, a lot of knowledge, and I want to use that knowledge to for me, for my business, to be able to make more money because right now I'm relying on this income. I have a few other clients on the side, but that basically covers the business expenses. And I want to be able to make profit. So the— I heard something recently. It's a quote that says, if it doesn't bring you peace, profit, and purpose, don't give it your time, energy, and something else. I should have— Money. I researched the quote before, but basically peace is the first one. Profit is the second one. So being able to make more money from my business and really do what I do the best and what I love. So I have this software that I have created and I have a background as a computer engineer. And this is really what I shine, where I shine. I love to create systems that make other people's life or businesses easier. And I want to focus on my zone of genius, which is creating systems that help businesses scale. So that's what I'm going to do this year. I'm going to prioritize my business above everything else to make more money, help more people, and ultimately have the time, financial, and the location freedom that I want. want. Okay. So that's lesson number 2. Lesson number 1 was about health. Don't wait until it's too late before you focus on your health. Lesson number 2 is you're never going to get rich working for someone else. And lesson number 3, which is about relationship, and it's a quote that I heard from Jim Carrey at the end of this year that I never heard before somehow. And the quote says, the impact you have on others or the effect you have on others is the most valuable currency there is. And I can tell you from experience, I've traveled the world for the last 6 years and like travel is great, the, like making money online is great, but there is nothing that compares in terms of feeling of satisfaction, of feeling on purpose than a client telling me, Max. Yeah. Thank you so much for helping me. Thank you so much for creating this system that helped me do X, Y, and Z. I get so much satisfaction out of this that I want to just keep going and stay on purpose. Okay. So that goes for clients in the business, but that also goes for my, my personal relationship. I want to keep calling my parents every single week. I wanna be more in touch with my siblings, 'cause right now I only see them and talk to them when I go back to France, which I want to increase. And for my friend, I moved to Barcelona right now, so I'm slowly but surely building my circle of friends, and it's super easy to meet people if you guys watch this video. I love you guys, and I can't wait to deepen our relationship and meet new people, network. Thank you. And really surround myself with people who are on the same journey of peace, profit, and purpose. Being able to make a full-time income doing what you love, helping other people, and being fulfilled, like following your passion. And in terms of love relationship, I want to focus more on one person than just seeing different people. And so I'm going to work on this. That's why I moved to Barcelona as well. And— Trying to help as many people as I can. Have a solid, not a lot of friends, but like solid group of friends and one girl with which I can share my life and do pretty much everything together, share everything together. That's the update for 2024, what I've been learning in 2024 and what I'm going to do about it in 2025. This is raw. I'm not gonna edit this video. I'm just going to post this right now because I committed on posting one YouTube video every single week. And I just came back today to Barcelona. I had no idea what to record. So that's the first video. It's going to go up. I'm going to post it. Let me know in the comments if you guys like it. The next videos are probably going to be more about business. I have 3 pillars that I might share that actually. So if you want to stay on for the journey, hit the like button, subscribe, you know the drill on YouTube. And let me know what you think of this video and I will see you guys in the next one. Peace.
