How I Lost $100,000 Pursuing MY DREAM

UPDATE: it's been exactly 12 months since my project failed and I decided to make an update video about how my life has actually changed for the better because of it. Check it out here: • Video

8 months and 10 days ago I started working on the best business idea I had ever come up with my life. I called it Explorio and it was supposed to become a travel reviews platform that rewards its users for writing travel reviews thus allowing them to fund their travels indefinitely.
As passionate as I was about Explorio, we faced some obstacles on the way that we couldn't resolve and eventually had to close down the project, netting me a loss of over $100,000 and making me the only person who lost money on this venture.
Most people seem to be ashamed to talk about their failures, but I think it's a total waste. That's why I wanted to make this video and share the biggest professional failure of mine ever since launching my first company 9 years ago.
Hope it will inspire you to never give up reaching your dreams.

I prefer your hair in this video

[@SpeedTourer]

Jacob you deserve millions of subscribers. I am fortunate enough to have randomly come across your channel. Yes, I am an explorior! xxx

[@thebuddingphysician7260]

You are doing great work...😊from a global citizen....irony is i even have not travelled my state probably city yet....but i dont regret it....as i am into something else .....

[@thebuddingphysician7260]

But definately will try travelling...

[@thebuddingphysician7260]

Btw you are inspiring lot of us to travel and how to be good humans

[@TheNewTravel]

The perspective shift of believing that you invested $100,000 into your personal university is simply brilliant.

[@jacoblaukaitis]

Thank you very much for this, bro. Means a lot to me to hear that from you!

[@shmoolicious]

It's also delusional

[@kenbrunet6120]

It is brilliant. Also plugging the merch at the end after an emotionally charged video! Well done.

[@achmadmarendes]

I agree

[@cme7452]

People have learned less at university, so I agree completely.

[@tuanoful]

Man... I love this guy, his positivity is contagious. Smart, experienced, surprisingly wise, and he's so young! he has lived more than many do in their lifetime. You my friend, are an amazing human being. Wish there were more like you. Keep reaching out to us with your emotional videos! Thank you so much for sharing

[@tuanoful]

By the way, is there a way that I can buy your shirt?

[@jacoblaukaitis]

Thank you very much for the kind words! Speaking of the shirts, now I've only got 5, but if there are tons of people interested in wearing them, I'll see what I can do :) Means a lot to me that you'd like to get one too!

[@lullahbhb6852]

Really you said it all ! 👍

[@toneminhiphop]

well written. Thank you.

[@aaro3455]

wow at a age of 19 you have had profitable business, you were on of the worlds best dancers and you already were traveling the world... thats more than most people do in their whole life.

[@jacoblaukaitis]

Anyone can do that! Just need to put in the effort 🙈

[@iEthanhunt]

As I am currently 25 years old but I feel like those 25 years of my life are total waste, I feel I've completely let myself down for not being more courageous in my own decisions and always being scared of failure. Today I feel like I haven't achieved anything at all. I am not happy with my life. There are so many things that I wanted do with my life, so many places that I want see with my own eyes, so many things I want to experience and on the other hand time just running away with a blink of an eye, but I wanna say Thank You for making this video, it was very helpful, your videos have always helped. Thank You. I hope we meet one day and I get to travel with you one day.

[@Frenchfriesandchunkythighs]

I feel the same and im 27. Hopefully life will change!

[@jaccrazy21]

Hahaha best comment award. ❤

[@ryantouhey1997]

Jacob, you NEVER cease to amaze me with your videos. I've always been hard on myself whenever I've failed at something. But your message at the beginning of the video really struck a chord inside of me. Although one might not achieve his or her main goal, it's the path and effort that he or she takes that defines who they are. Life isn't always fair (such as your experience in Thailand), but it's how you combat those obstacles and stay on your feet to keep moving forward. I feel that your videos provide that message. People around the world are different in terms of different cultures or beliefs. But as you said at the end of the day, we're all just human, and I feel that everyone is good at heart. Thanks for being an inspiration to me and millions around the world!

[@jacoblaukaitis]

This is one of the most inspiring comments I've ever read, Ryan. You are a true Explorior, bro. Keep killing it!

[@ryantouhey1997]

Thanks a lot Jacob! It's all cool hearing from you!

[@ryantouhey1997]

"Always cool," sorry for the grammar error.

[@shourov4637]

There's a saying ''Traveling makes a person more knowledgeable '' and here's the proof. I have been following you for a long time and your stories are always always inspiring. Wishing you a very very bright days ahead.

I posted quite a few stories on my Instagram from it (you can find them here: instagram.com/jacoblaukaitis/), but I was incredibly happy to see that eventually we had 500 people watching real-time.

Love you to the moon and back, Exploriors ❤️

Wow Jacob, thanks for being honest! Sometimes we think that bad things only happen to us. It's inspiring when someone shares their experience. I'm an engineering student and I haven't been able to take a rest and travel the world, mostly because I don't have any money to. But your videos make me feel like I'm there in all the amazing places you show us. I hope soon I can do the same :D keep going Jacob, we love your content!

[@izzatitaqiah63]

Fellow Exploriors, let's do a quick poll, would you buy the shirt if he made more? I'm interested in it because I love the message behind it, and If I can get the shirt I'll be happy, and I hope Jacob will be too because it might help him a bit. Let's get replies to see how many commit to it so we can ask him to create a finite number for us!

[@richardb.587]

I'd be totally down

[@supersakura50]

I would..but I would buy just one..the one shirt that I’d hang up on the wall of my room so I can remind myself of my goals of my love for exploring of explorior itself ❤️

[@litomesina9155]

Traveling has just become my new passion and I think will be my goal for the rest of my life. Although I’m starting late I’m now in my late 50’s, there’s no stopping me. My recent trip to Europe, meeting people locals and travelers from different parts of the world, I’ve discovered how we all can live harmoniously, develop friendship, love and with mutual respect. My only challenge is how to pursue and sustain my goal with my limited financial resources. Your video has inspired me and fueled my fire to realize my goal. I’m hoping that “Explorio” will finally come into fruition and be instrumental to fulfill the dreams of people like me. I’m an “explorior”. More power Jacob!

[@jacoblaukaitis]

Lito, you are one of the most inspiring Exploriors ever who proves that age is just a number! Forward!!

Happened with me. Gave six years to a career that I eventually left. The worst part , I'm 27 right now and those six years were supposed to be my most important years to start a career. And although an year later I have recovered well from all that I went through and have started making decent money , the time I lost is unrecoverable.

[@jacoblaukaitis]

Look on the bright side, it's always there!

[@Frenchfriesandchunkythighs]

I feel your pain. Im 27 too and just feel so stuck. I knew what i wanted to do was travel & work with animals but lacked confidence. Last year i finally got my animal qualification and went to amsterdam. At the end of this year everything went wrong and im back living at my mums with an injury and only working small hours... i feel like i wasted so much time in my young life with no confidence or real advice or direction that im now a complicated adult trying to figure life still. I hold my breath and hope things improve.

[@vancourverite7779]

@@Frenchfriesandchunkythighs you guys are complaining about wasting time at 27???? give me a break! There are people who are so much older than you and in their 40s and still find it hard and havent found courage to quit their jobs to pursue what they love. you are still very young and have many years ahead of you.. even if you quit now or next year you still have a lifetime to start its never too late so why are you complaining? Stop looking at your past and saying how you wasted time with your young life.. start now! 27 is still very young .

Can't help but think of Marcus Aurelius' words: "Our actions may be impeded . . . but there can be no impeding our intentions or dispositions. Because we can accommodate and adapt. The mind adapts and converts to its own purposes the obstacle to our acting. The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way, becomes the way." You seem to have mastered the art of living by them. :)

Thanks bralukas!

[@yahiaelhelw2744]

This is simply sensational. The idea of looking at failures as lessons to be learned of actually seemed to me as something hard to believe, however you've opened a new perspective to me on how to deal with such breakdowns. This video was class. I wish you the best of luck and i'm sure many brilliant stuff is still ahead of you!

[@Jabe1963]

You are amazing Jacob, inspiring us to never be afraid of failure.
