I’ve always said that employees work better when there’s good management in place and I can see why your company is as successful as it is. Great video!

[@TheHamiltonCollection]

Good management is key to having a successful company. I can't tell you how many times I hear or see someone in a manger/owner position treating employees with the bare minimum. Thank you for watching bud!

I agree, it has blown my mind every single time I have had a manager or owner mistreat my coworkers and I. It is illogical to treat your employees horribly and expect quality and efficient work in return

@@TheHamiltonCollection it’s a great change of pace. It shows your viewers your more humble or relatable side. It’s motivating to see someone who’s built their empire from nothing and obtain the toys that we enjoy watching. Everything is obtainable through effort. You come off as a guys guy. Made a goal and went to work! It’s also fun to see you give back to folks, there is so much to learn.

I like this guy more and more… he’s honest and humble. So many rich people are assholes or liars… so happy he’s doing well.

[@michellguzelgul4267]

Must say I massively appreciate this video. You generally don't get such genuine answers from successful and wealthy inviduals. Most people give nice fluffy answers, this felt like youre talking to a friend. People need to hear the truth.

[@TheHamiltonCollection]

I'm an open book. I literally never sugar coat anything

[@Stoic_Euphoria]

I love the transparency and honesty. The owner is very down to earth cares for his employees, someone I would love to work for.

[@BananaDude230]

It's so easy to be mean spirited and judgmental of a guy that has everything you want. To hear Steve's story about his humble beginnings making it to a successful entrepreneur is fantastic. Kudos to Steve for keeping a level head, treating people the way he would want to be treated, and being an all around good human being.

I'm honestly not into cars much to actually subscribe to a car channel, but after watching Steve's story on his website and how he shares these cars with people I will subscribe just to follow his journey. I've always been the type of person to want others to have/enjoy nice things too and not just me, so I admire anyone else that thinks that way too.

[@stumpjumper1dc]

you are a friggin' beast and a great role model to every young person that thinks they are going to be an influencer and have a super car collection. You have created a monster organization and now the channel is just icing on the cake. You are a hustler extraordinaire. Thanks for pulling the curtain back and showing the world what it takes to get to your level. Great lessons in there for us all. PS........what a lot of people don't realize is how hard the successful influencers, who haven't built a business like yours, work. Most of them are filming, editing and posting almost round the clock. There aren't many shortcuts to a supercar!! Keep up the good work. I just discovered the channel and I'm really enjoying it.

[@Russellx]

just recently started watching some of your videos. Great job on all, yet this one stands out to me on the humble way you speak and watching your emotions and body language change when you talk about charity and or helping others learn ask for advice without being driven by the expectation of a profit. Not many out there like you. Delivering Authentic Value to your audience. Also good point about investing in RE to fund the fun stuff. again, Well Done! and your creative staff is amazing and funny as well.

Hi from Australia. I just stumbled upon your channel by accident yesterday ( I was having a bad day and had some downtime ). An awesome story you have, great advice for people who seek it. I love the cars, but my favorite part was hearing that you and your team help the cancer kids. Legendary stuff. Sick kids need our help as much as we can. They haven’t even enjoyed life yet and yet they are having a hard time. It’s great that people like you guys are helping them. Who knows, hopefully a few of the kids grow up to be successful. Thanks for the content.

Just came across your channel because I was looking for videos on different experience purchasing a Huracan Performante since I’m in the market for one. I don’t watch other people’s success story because I don’t like how they deliver their message.

You don't have to do exactly what Steve has done to be successful but you can forsure learn some key notes and piece them together. Hard work and perseverance. Never lose sight of the goal at the end. Remember the old quote, "The wolf ontop of the hill is not as hungry as the wolf climbing the hill."

Great video! I just found your channel by watching the video where you rank your insane collection and my first thought was “what does this guy do?”Love that it’s selling wheels because I am running a small business doing the same as my side hustle which I hope to turn into my career. No where near there yet as my real job takes up too much time. Good to see it’s possible to get to where I want to be. Would love to hear even more about the early days and how you grew the company. Everyone always leaves out the details about early success and what that took. They just say “I started the business out of our garage” etc. there’s more to it than that though. Might seem boring but I’d love to hear that. Thanks so much for sharing!
