Timothy Schucker made over $1 million online by 22 by cutting distractions, not adding more. He deleted social media apps, turned off notifications, removed access to weed and alcohol, and simplified his phone to force productive habits like Slack and Asana instead of dopamine-seeking defaults.
22 years old
Over $1 million (in revenue)
All right, guys, so this is how I was able to make over a million dollars before turning 25. I'm 22 right now. And quick disclaimer, because I know, like how a lot of people title these videos and I clickbaited you a little bit. I'm not a millionaire, but I've made over a million dollars online millionaire, soon to be, but I don't have like a million dollars in my bank account, but I have done over a million dollars in revenue and stuff. So this is basically what's allowed me to do that. And.
That I've realized is that it's not about like adding on and it's not about what you do, it's literally just about what you don't do, right? And so what I used to do when I was, when I was younger is I would try and start like a bunch of different businesses at the same time, right? So I would like try to do drop shipping and lawn care and this and that and all of these different things to make money, right? I would just try to put as much on my plate as possible. And what I've started to realize over time and what's allowed me to become more and more successful over the course of my life is that it's not about what you do, it's literally about what you don't do, right? And so what I mean by that is basically you have these habits that you're doing on a day to day basis, right? Maybe you're watching Netflix or you're smoking weed or you're drinking alcohol or whatever these things are that you do, or you have Instagram on your phone or whatever the thing is that you do that fills your time, that all takes away from your business, right? And what I've realized and learned is like your brain is literally just hardwired and designed. Chase the easiest dopamine possible, right? So if I have my phone in my office when I'm working, anytime something gets tough, or any time, you know, a page is loading or whatever, I'm gonna check my phone and all of a sudden I'm gonna go down that rabbit hole. Because that's the way that it works, right? If I have, you know, sweets or like sugary food in my house, the second I get bored, guess what I'm gonna grab and guess what I'm gonna eat. Sweets and sugary food. And so what I've learned is that if you wanna be successful and you wanna make money, you literally just need to take all of these things that aren't making you Money and just fucking set them on fire and take them out of your house, right? So, for example, I deleted all social media off of my phone. My phone literally just has slack asana, which is like a task management software. And then like messages and other stuff. And I've turned all notifications off, meaning that all of that time, all of my attention is no longer spent on my phone. Right? Same thing with like weed and alcohol. I used to smoke weed and I was still successful, but it just like it took so much away and I would spend way more time doing that. And all that time I could have been, you know, I could have spent like watching YouTube videos to make me better business or just working in my business. And so every time that I remove something from my life that I enjoy or is entertaining or whatever, my life always gets better. Because what happens is then I remove this thing and all of a sudden I have this free space, this free time and my business and, you know, working out just came from the gym, right? I used to be not as consistent with the gym. Now I have less things to entertain me. So to entertain myself, I go and I do these things that are actually productive and actually help me. So just wanted to jump on here and give that quick rant because I think that a lot of people don't understand this and they just go and they try to like, do all these new habits and new things where literally. And it sounds so simple that, like, you, you won't even believe it. Because I didn't believe it at first. It took me years to actually learn this lesson despite hearing it, is that it's literally just about taking all of the the and just stopping to do it. And then what happens? It's just a law of nature that the good is going to fill and replace those things. So if you guys got value from this video, let me know in the comments down below. Hit a like.
