Yes, you heard that title right. I made $35 million in my 20s. Now, in this video, I'm not used to filming these type of videos, and my goal for this video is not to push any sort of agenda down your throat. I'm genuinely trying to make this the most clear-cut, no [ __ ] guide on how I was able to make $35 million in my 20s.
Now, there's a lot of videos like this that circle the internet, and most of them surround the agenda of pushing some sort of particular business model. Whatever that be, drop shipping, whatever that be, owning an agency. And the goal of this video is to do the exact opposite. Ironically enough, it isn't the business model that dictates whether you're going to be rich or not. It's the principles that you follow throughout it. For example, I've made a lot of money with e-commerce, and when I say a lot of money, I mean over $35 million doing it again in my 20s. However, I made a lot of money in info as well, and I also make a [ __ ] ton of money in crypto as well. The thing is, it doesn't matter what business model you do, as long as you follow the right principles.
Now, huge, huge disclaimer, guys. Before I even get into the video, I want you guys to realize that this won't work for everybody. You still have to put in the hard work. You still have to do the grunt work, do the deep things. Because at the end of the day, if you want to build a mountain of wealth, you have to start with the pebbles, right? So this video is going to be my own experiences in how I was able to make over $35 million. Yes, you heard that right, $35 million in my 20s.
Now, first things first, how are we going to go about this video and what can you expect? First thing first, we're going to break it down into three main components, right? It's actually an acronym I have for you guys: F.C.C. Now, again, you're not going to find this anywhere on the internet, and these three letters and this one acronym right here has again amounted me to a lot of money online. Now, let's get right into it.
So, what is F? F stands for Focus. Now, this is not what you think it is. A lot of people hear focus and they think, "Oh, you just need to focus on being a be, being your best self, or focus on a business, or focus on that." No, focus on one thing. The thing is, you guys want an end result, you want an end goal. Whatever that be, being a drop shipping millionaire, or being someone who made a bunch of money in crypto, whatever that may be. You need to focus on that one thing. And the reason why this is so important, because in today's day and age, and I've been, I've coached many, many multi-millionaire entrepreneurs, I can tell you guys for a fact, in today's day and age, this is the biggest currency. And the reason for that is because it is so hard to maintain this when there are so many new business models arising. You will make the most money when you focus on just one singular thing. Whatever that be, drop shipping, whatever that be, agency, whatever it be, crypto. The whole point of me making this video again is to not push a specific narrative down your throat. I have countless other videos where I talk about how drop shipping is the best, this and that. This is not the point of that. The point of that is to tell you guys that I would not be a drop shipping millionaire if it wasn't for this again, one thing right here.
The mistake most of you guys make watching this is you click on videos like this trying to find the next golden gem, trying to find the next winning business model. And take it from someone who's gone through that, we actually have a word for that, and we call that shiny object syndrome. Now, here's the caveat about entrepreneurship that a lot of people overlook. Shiny object syndrome. [ __ ] shiny object syndrome is what gets people into entrepreneurship. You have to want to look at the shiny objects in order to get attracted to actually putting in work to start a business. Now, here's where the whole caveat comes into play. That's the exact same thing that's going to stop you from making millions online. You are not going to be able to make money if you don't have this. And again, this only comes from the ability to stick to one thing. It is extremely hard to find one business model that, per se, might not work in the moment you start it. Stick with that one business model when other business models are arising. There's been many times before my drop shipping journey or my e-commerce journey where I wanted to get back into crypto, I wanted to do NFTs, I wanted to trade shitcoins. FOMO is everywhere, and the enemy of focus is FOMO. This is exactly what you guys want to avoid. FOMO is a broke man's mentality, and I wish to God someone told me this when I started. Because when I started my entre, when I started my entrepreneurship journey, I had a massive issue, and that's the same issue most of you guys are going to face with when you get alongside your journey as well. And that is, you're going to start with focus, and then FOMO is going to take over. That's what happens time and time again, and that's the exact thing that you want to avoid.
Now, the real question arises: Is how do you avoid FOMO? Because again, you're clicking on videos like this, you're watching this style of content, and you're already indulged in the entrepreneurship online game. How to avoid FOMO is actually a lot easier than you guys think. When you pick something, regardless if it's working in the moment or not, you need to understand rule number two. [ __ ] me, okay? What is rule number two? It's compounding, for short. I'm just going to put compound.
Now, compounding is extremely important because this is a real-life phenomenon that happens in genuinely, no matter what business you pick. And again, this video is not me pushing any sort of narrative down your guys' throats. These are genuine things that you can use in any business today and age. Now, what is compounding and why is it so important? It's the ability to stick to one thing and see growth time over time again. You will see monumentally more success sticking with one business model for three years and sticking to 10 business models for 10 years. The issue that most people make is they're not able to again, focus. Now, again, the easiest way to focus in today's day and age is you understand the importance of compounding. I'm going to tell you guys a story. When I started drop shipping, I used to network with a lot of other drop shippers. We would talk frequently. They knew what I was doing in my brands, I knew what they were doing in their brands, and we had really great connections. We were basically, for the sake of words, I'm going to say neck to neck. We were neck to neck in our drop shipping journey. Now, here's exactly what happened, and again, this is coming from my own personal experience. We were neck to neck. So this was me, and this was them. Now, this is exactly what happened. We were both moving at the same speed upwards. I plateaued because I was stuck. Stuff wasn't working in drop shipping. I didn't have the right approach. I wasn't able to get my ads profitable at scale, and it wasn't working. And they, as well, got stuck. They had the same issues as me because at the end of the day, the business model works in such a way to where everyone goes through the same things, but you can speed run it.
Now, here's exactly what happened, and this is what I really want to show you guys. They said, "Let me get into crypto. Let me get into trading. Let me try other business models and other means of making wealth." And it worked. It worked for a little bit. Maybe they got some success. Maybe they went down, went up a little bit, to the left, to the right, down, and they plateaued. Let's say here. So this is the difference in what they got. That right there. This is different. This is the difference in wealth they made from just that one decision they made to just focus on multiple things. And again, when you look at the graph from a non-retrospective point of view, you notice that they got ahead of me, and that's really good because they made this much more money. Now, again, I'm not going to define numbers here. This could be as small as 100K to as large as 35 million. Again, we're not defining numbers here.
Now, here's what happened to me. It was a slow burn. I took, sorry, [ __ ] sweat. Here's what happened to me. It was a slow burn. I might have taken my time. I might have been slowly moving up, moving up, moving up, moving up. But what happens is over time, and this again happens way quicker than you guys realize, I was going up and up and up and up and up, and it just shoots up. And that's what happens. This is a real-life example, guys. You see the difference in the one decision I made. This is the difference in monetary value from the decision of focusing on just one thing. Here's the difference if you want to go into multiple things.
Now, the, the, the issue with this graph right here is that this takes a bit more time, and you guys need to be self-aware enough to know that you're willing to take the time to make something actually work. Because I'm going to give you a hard fact that you're not going to find online, and that is there is no magic pill. There's no magic business model that's going to make you millions. The only thing that's going to make you millions is sticking to one thing for long enough and compounding in that one industry. And the reason why you guys are not going to find this online, and this is the honest truth coming from someone who literally has the course myself, is it's not good for a business if I tell you guys that if you're doing trading, stick to trading and don't worry about drop shipping or don't worry about this. What's going to happen? You guys aren't going to buy my program. And to be honest, I don't care. I don't do this so you guys can buy my program. I do this so you guys can DM me and say, "You got rich off my free advice." I truly love that.
Now, compounding is a real thing, and the way to see it in your business is literally just to focus on, and again, this is very important, just to focus on going one step at a time. A lot of people don't realize, but in the game of entrepreneurship, the person who takes the most steps will always win. If you want to build a mountain of wealth, you have to start with the pebbles. Compounding has been single-handedly the most important thing I've implemented, and I've been self-aware enough to talk about that's helped me make again, over $35 million online. One issue with compounding though, and I don't want you guys to get the wrong impression, is when you understand it and you apply it to your businesses, meaning that every day from moving now on, you understand that you're compounding and you'll go to places you don't even know exist within your industry. You need to realize the only way you can speed up the process is by literally speed, or what I like to say, moving fast. In the game of entrepreneurship, there's not a lot of things you can control. That is the harsh reality. Yes, you can get lucky. Yes, things can just appear in your bank account. However, you can control some things, and that's what we like to consider input.
Now, in the game of entrepreneurship, moving fast has monumentally been one of the most successful traits that I've been able to adopt. Has helped me skyrocket past everyone else. When you combine moving fast and compounding, you get a pretty deadly combo. And the, the, the reason you do is because you're self-aware enough to know that over time, you will merge into something that you didn't even know was possible, and the only reason you got there was because you moved faster than everyone else. And that could mean something as simple as prioritizing studying Facebook's new ad, uh, updates and whatnot, just to make sure you understand the ads manager better than everyone else, rather than looking at shitcoins, right? A lot of people mix up business models and they don't understand. If you move fast and you compound at the same time, that's where you get astronomical results, and that's what people do not talk about. Honestly, we could stop the video here just by outlining the fact that you have speed and you have compounding. The last part is not even irrelevant to the fact that this is all I needed to make $35 million online. And I'm going to be honest with you guys, if I knew these things when I started my journey, I would have avoided a lot of mistakes that I had to go through, that every entrepreneur has to go through, that I wish I could have avoided. Because when you have FOMO and you look at other business models and you want to pursue five things at once, what happens is you don't get down to the nitty-gritty and you don't compound.
The issue with compounding, and this again is something that I wish someone told me when I started, is compounding only happens when you focus on one thing. You need to be able to identify what that one thing is. I urge anyone watching this who perhaps hasn't started a business yet, hasn't indulged in something as simple as drop shipping, trading, whatever it may be. I urge everyone to find your one thing and be very intentional about what that one thing is. Because the ability to pick out one thing and focus on it with your dear life is the exact same thing that's going to get you, get you to where you want to be. There's so many shitty entrepreneurs I meet on a day-to-day basis that will do drop shipping right, and they consider themselves drop shippers. But at night, when they have some free time, they'll trade shitcoins. And I know that seems like a harmless trait because, "Why not trade shitcoins when you have free time?" That's the exact thing that's holding them back. And I wish to God I could be more transparent on why it's holding them back. But at the end of the day, people are going to be people, and they don't understand that when you take away from that one thing, whatever it be, something as harmless as trading shitcoins or doing something that is not that one thing you want to focus on, you miss out on compounding and you miss out on the opportunity to apply speed to your operation. So again, that is the second thing that I've been able to adopt that has helped me amount to over $35 million online.
Now, the last thing here is going to, it's going to sound very simple to a lot of people. And I think the, the point of this video too, is a lot of you guys will realize the topics and things that we talk about here are not super intricate. And there is not going to be a magic combination of words I can tell you guys that is going to seek through your screen and go straight into your brain and it's going to make you millions online. Because if there was a word like that, I'd be spamming it left and right. But there's not. It's just a combination of very basic traits that people learn over a course of, let's say, a couple years in their entrepreneurship journey that has helped them make a [ __ ] ton of money.
Now, what is this last thing? Pretty simple. It's confidence. I'm going to spell that wrong, but it's okay. It's confidence.
Now, what is confidence applied to entrepreneurship? So, a lot of people view confidence as the ability to do something like go up to a girl, or something as simple as that. That's not what we're talking about here. We're talking about confidence in your abilities and in your business model. So again, up until this point, you guys have already selected that one thing that you're going to focus on. Now, the ability to, not ability, now the only way you're going to be able to actually stick to one thing wholeheartedly, compound, and apply speed is if you're confident that this one thing actually works. And these sad truths, and the sad reality about any sort of entrepreneurship, and this could be at the level of owning a gas station to the level of running a multi-million dollar e-commerce empire, is that one thing will always be [ __ ]. That one thing will never be fully 100% there. There is never going to be a point in time where you're fully 100% confident in that one thing. There's times, and this is coming from someone who makes millions a month with their one thing, I can tell you that there's times where I'm still skeptical myself. I'm still skeptical. I'm still looking at other business models because that's innate human nature. Remember what I told you guys earlier? What got you into entrepreneurship was the ability to not focus on the traditional route and want to focus on other things. But what's going to get you far in entrepreneurship is the complete opposite, and that's the ability to focus on your one thing.
Now, again, the only way you're going to be able to focus on your one thing is simply confidence. You need to be confident in your business model. You need to be confident in your abilities. And you need to be confident in what you're doing. Because if you're not confident in the small tasks you're doing every day, and you're not confident in the fact that they're going to compound over time, and you're not confident in the fact that you're going to focus and you're going to apply speed to that compounding effect, then nothing is going to happen. Guys, I've met some of the dumbest people on the planet, and they are some of the richest people I know. The rich, the richest person I know who's worth over $152 million wakes up at 3 p.m. and parties all weekend. That is because he understands these three things. It's not because he did a specific business model. It's not because he caught a crypto pump or he did anything specific like that. It's because he focused on one thing. He ignored all the noise. He compounded in one industry. I can't say that industry out of respect for him, but he compounded in one industry. And last but not least, he was confident that that one industry was what he needed to take him to where he wanted to go.
This all boils down to being able to identify what that one thing is you want, focus on it, compound in it, and be confident that it's going to take you to where, and be confident it's going to take you to where you want to go.
Now, before I wrap up this video, guys, there's something very important I want to say. And again, this, the purpose of me filming this video transparently, is not to push anything down your guys' throats. As you can see, I did not push a single business model. I did not tell you guys what I did. And if you want to learn what I do, it's all over my YouTube, so go watch the other content. But the last thing I want to leave you guys with is consuming this style of content will literally get you nowhere. Literally get you nowhere. What if I told you that after watching this video, you can just stop? You can stop watching content. You can get off YouTube and you can actually try to start the business on your own? Would you stop? I want you guys to genuinely sit down and think about that. Would you stop and take action on whatever you just learned today? Would you try that business model you've been thinking about? Will you go and put the time in actually doing the deep work that's going to get you to where you want to be? Or will you continue to be on YouTube? Every time you guys consume a piece of content like this, and again, this goes against my whole info product business, I'm literally going against everything I've built over the last couple years. Every time you, every time you consume a piece of content like this, I want you guys to simply just think of this one question: Is after I've consumed this piece of content, am I going to stop? Because if the answer is no, when are you going to stop? The second you stop and you actually focus on that one thing, you apply what I talked about today, is the second you'll start to see success. And it might take a couple months, it might take a couple years, but it is inevitable if you follow these frameworks.
Now, I hope you guys enjoyed this video. This is not the type of content I'm used to making, but I wanted to give you guys something raw and authentic. And I feel that it would be really criminal of me to show you guys how we're making money, show you guys the lifestyle, and obviously you can see the great view and the great villa in the back, but I, but I didn't talk about the specific principles that got me here in the first place. So with that being said, guys, I hope you enjoyed the video. If you like it, sure to subscribe, and hopefully I won't see you guys in the next one. Peace.
