Shouldn't the success formula be Skill x hard work x duration x luck (not divided by luck.) If you're luck is less than average it would be .9 or less and if it's above average then 1.1 or higher. Also, successful young you-tubers are good role models; they didn't get to the top by genetics (though a few have that 'Human Golden Retriever' factor, many aren't even decent looking; like MrBeast's gang and Logan Paul's crew.) If you want a top athlete with poor genetics, Jose Canseco overcame scoliosis and juvenile arthritis to become the greatest athlete in the world in 1988 and still a top athlete over a decade later and still occasionally playing independent leagues 17 years after being blacklisted by baseball 13 years before other top steroid players like A-Rod (who nobody even likes, look at the comment on 'The Other Guys.')

I can relate to this! It's frustrating to watch all these KZbinrs making $$$$$, when you're grinding in a high skilled job making $$. It can be super disheartening. But playing the long game might pay off more. Investing wisely, building your skillset, and eventually creating your own business in your industry is a solid strategy as well.

[@Truthseeker-iz3dj]

The main problem is the financial system. The rich are just siphoning off money from the middle class and governments. I don't dislike rich people and wish everyone the best and they probably don't realize how hard it is for the average person these days. Between taxation and inflation the working class slowly got poorer, the gold standard at least kept checks and balances in place.

i used to watch these guys all the time but i realized that i don’t even want to be rich. i just want to be comfortable and do better than my parents were able to do

[@AnthonyVicino]

That can be a good goal, too. It's all about defining what success looks like for YOU. You don't have to play by anybody else's rules. You do you.

[@BaDazai]

This is me too. I don't want to be rich, I want to be comfortable. I'm currently building a 1 bedroom mid century home on a huge lot, with alot a garden space and a great workshop. I don't need a mansion. I don't been a fancy car because public transport has been reliable and great. I have more time to focus on myself, travels and hobbies because I'm not spending all my time working towards becoming a millionaire. It's a very fulfilling and stressfree way to live.

I love how you said, in a comment, "it's all about how success looks to YOU". That is my biggest take away from this because, seeing all of these hustle mindset videos being imposed consistently can make us anxious, drained, and go down a route of chasing dreams instead of appreciating the moment that we are in now. There is so much to be grateful for. To everyone seeking success, just do your absolute best but don't forget to take care of your mental health; your mind, body, and spirit needs you too.

It's crazy that people don't realize THEY get to define success fo rthemselves. Once you realize that, you can rig the game to guarantee success because YOU make the rules.

[@ianawilsonn]

This video is massively important, especially for the youth(like me). It's really easy to feel that you're not doing enough especially when you see people younger than you doing insane numbers left and right. Statistically speaking a millionaire in their early twenties is like a unicorn, but they seem to be everywhere all over social media. The reality is that everything isn't always as it seems, and at the end of the day, with some good video production skills anyone can be anything they say they are if they can sell it good enough.

If you are young and want a path forward watch this video. Stop watching all of the other young guys and only compare yourself to yourself. Also, the most important thing is to DO and then ANALYZE. Life is habit and iteration. Do, analyze, learn, repeat. This guys advice is a bit over the top but is probably the realest thing I have seen on KZbin in A VERY long time. Definitely subscribing.

[@Eric_Four_Two]

I’ve come to notice that as long as the influencer gets a call right just one time then some people will forever look at the influencer as “legit”. It doesn’t even matter how many calls they get wrong because they got one right. The people being influenced can’t fathom the fact that a influencer with a large following will cause a large pump and most times, the people being influenced won’t connect the two. It also comes down to a person’s ego more than anything else because it’s very difficult for most people to be honest with themselves and accept that maybe, just maybe they were duped. “I’m too smart to be duped” attitude is what makes them susceptible to being duped. It’s very refreshing to see some honesty coming from a finance channel. Thank you for making this video because it can help reasonable people, not all people because some of them are too far gone.

Hello Mr. Vicino, I'm a 15 year old who would watch these people for advice until I got an odd feeling. Thank you so much for this video as it sums up what I couldn't put into words.

I grew up with a single mother and money was always something hard to come by. I think what made me blindly follow what Iman Gadzhi says would be because of our similar background.

Word of advice don't be gullible

[@sebb]

Hi Anthony, thanks for sharing your video. I really appreciated it and learned a lot from it. The points about my dream house and the difference between speculation and investing really stuck with me. However, I wanted to clarify a few things for clarity. 1.) When I made the video, I was talking about the numbers I was making at that time. When I mentioned my 7-figure agency, the month before we had made around 58,000 in sales and mostly profit. So, when I said it would easily sell for over a million, I meant at that specific point in time. 2.) When I tell my fans that they are just like me, Im not lying. I started out as a normal kid and through a lot of hard work and a constant obsession to improve, I became who I am today. I am completely dedicated to becoming the best version of myself in every aspect of my life. While I appreciate your comparison to LeBron James, it's simply not true. This also relates to the success equation, as I was upset when you dismissed the importance of hard work and time. I have worked incredibly hard and it's not just been luck that has gotten me where I am. When I was 18, I lost almost all of the money I had made through a scam. Then, when I was 21, I was sued for 200,000 which was very stressful and set me back. And just last year, I temporarily lost 500,000 (which I will be getting back) long story lol. I'll turn 24 in 9 days and I have been working hard since I was 16, flipping go-karts and furniture while also working at a car wash. That means I've been working hard for almost 8 years, which is a lot of time. I 100% deserve everything I have achieved, there were many times when I wanted to give up, but I persisted. 3.) When you described me as a genius marketer who discovered gold and created an entire team to scale and extract money, etc., it wasn't accurate. I am not a genius, just slightly above average in intelligence (118 IQ). I just work very hard while most men play video games, complain, party, go to college ect. KZbin was never meant to be a business for me until this year. It started as a way for me to help other kids and share information about drop shipping that I learned through my own experience. It was always meant to be a way to help people. Now that it has grown so much, it became a business. It was not some elaborate strategy to take advantage of a golden opportunity in the finance space. While I wish I could claim to be that savvy and intelligent, it's simply not true. i just wanted to help and it turned into something so big. At the time I filmed that video i really was making 10K+ per day in cash (excluding the house, which I appreciate you mentioning). However numbers can change over time and that does not mean i'm lying. A few months later, I had a run for a few weeks where I consistently made 40K profit per day from a business. Currently, that is no longer the case, but who knows what the future will hold ;) Its also worth mentioning that i don't have a corse to sell anyone... i have a FREE course that anyone can join in which we make money off some affiliate links but thats it. I don't have some grand plan to get people to think i'm someone i'm not just to sell them a course, i genuinely don't care of people like me or not, i just doing my own thing lol. Hope that clarity helps Overall, this was a good and entertaining video, and i appreciate you making it bro. I learned a few things that will help me sharpen the way i speak and i appreciate all of the nice things you had to say. Also, good stuff on pronouncing my last name correctly, that is RARE. - Sebastian Ghiorghiu

Second, hopefully it was clear in the video, but I actually do have mad respect for what you've built. Third, there's a section in my video that I sold you a bit short, and I apologize for that. In particular, the Time variable of your success. I mentioned it in a couple replies to other commenters, but the truth is you've been grinding for the better part of a decade and I believe that ANYBODY can achieve incredible success in life if they're willing to dedicate 10 years to the process. You did that and it was wrong of me to downplay that aspect. Fourth, for anybody reading this, I 100% believe your intentions are pure and that what you're putting out into the world is massively valuable. My goal in making this video is simply to help people develop critical thinking skills, so they don't just default to passively accepting whatever is being sold to them (and that includes information coming from me, as well!).

I think a message that can be taught to just about any young person is that you should always learn from the right people. Learn from people who've genuinely worked hard and for a long period of time to reach that goal, not from someone who doesn't know what they're talking about or had just gotten the bag and act like they know everything in the field.

[@jonglopez5400]

thus, it boils down to judgment. Finding the 'right people' can be tricky at times especially when you're not experienced(meaning young) enough to truly gauge if that one person you're dealing with is the right person to learn to. It is sometimes hard to teach/learn good judgment as it requires good instinct as well as good grasp of fundamental knowledge in order to give/get some value out of it.

If you live in the US you can probably become rich. What you can't become is young and rich. Young and rich takes a tremendous amount of luck. I remember watching a Graham Stephen video and just complaining in the comments section because he was pushing real estate to get rich. He was talking about what he did in like 2010 buying on high leverage and just getting a bunch of properties. I was like bro, me and a bunch of friends did that in the early 2000s and you know what happened? Everyone I know got wiped out in 2008 due to said leverage. If you bought real estate after '08 you made bank. That was pure luck that you were at the right age at the right time to catch a boom, but don't tell others that they'll get rich doing that because they won't. Cheap houses were over and it became far more risky to be in real estate.

Thanks for pointing out what should be "'obvious" to anyone who takes a few minutes to contemplate what these guys are saying and doing. The only category I think you might have overlooked is that no one can become successful in any venture, no matter what it might be, unless they have "Connections" - whatever that might be for each person. No one succeeds without CONNECTIONS - THE "RIGHT" CONNECTIONS.

[@AnthonyVicino]

Here's a concept worth keeping in mind: "Your network is your net worth." In a very real way, if I was to go back to $0, I could rebuild to where I currently am in only a fraction of the time because I have 1) the skills and 2) the network. In the beginning, you probably lack both of those, which is why it's so hard to get meaningful traction.

I agree. These guys are a great source of inspiration (and in a lot of cases, education). Comparing yourself to others is a great way to feel "less than". But if you look to others as a source of guidance ,to figure out what worked for them and why, then you're on the fast track to success.

I always say "Profit" when I say my totals in posts and video titles. Everyone (especially drop shipping world) loves to use revenue. But what is the point when they claim $4 million in revenue but spent 4.2 million on ads? That is a loss. Yes, there are some people claiming they make millions and actually are losing money. I think it should be a rule to always post your profit numbers as well as your revenue. Be honest and transparent that is how you make sales on your courses about how to make money.

Thanks for the discussion. I've seen it all: 40 years investing in real estate, 33 years as a software engineer, and now retired and sold my real estate to trade currencies and still practicing martial arts that I've been doing for well over 50 years. Nothing wrong with "investing" or "speculating". But you do have to understand implicitly not only the rules for each area of work, but also those more fluid probabilistic based decisions against a large sample size of attempts such that over the long run you have a good win to loss ratio of whatever it is that you're doing. Good luck with that if you haven't put the time into work and study. Having a B.S. in Physics and almost minor in math, it's easy for me to identify that number fudging you are talking about. Man, it's out there. It's EVERYWHERE. You have to be soooooo careful who you trust....

[@AnthonyVicino]

I love the probabilistic approach to "success". Life is not a series of right and wrong answers as school would like us to believe.

Excellent video, Anthony! Please make more videos like this. These dishonest grifters need to be held accountable. A couple of other points that you could perhaps address in a future video: 1. Many of these kids actually had rich parents/grandparents that gave them the seed money to start their business. They will often lie and say they started from scratch, when in reality, their parents gifted/loaned them $50K-$100K+ to start their business, invest, trade, etc. Starting with that much capital can make the difference between success and failure. 2. Most of these kids actually make their money via selling online courses and coaching programs, not from being successful traders, investors, etc. If they're as successful in their craft as they claim to be, they should be able to furnish audited profit/loss statements, balance sheets, and/or financial statements. Most of the time they can't or won't do that. 3. Some of the bigger influencers are paid huge sums to sponsor certain companies. Graham Stephan was paid $50K per month to promote FTX. When it collapsed, his fans lost millions. 4. Some 20-year-old kid, with minimal business and/or investing experience, should not be giving investing/trading advice, especially if they're not properly licensed.

Also, how on earth would someone have a decade of experience at 20? Are you saying they started working at 10?

[@bxsed]

@Skuld's Records these are not excuses, they are facts. If they are so rich, why the heck are they selling courses? It's because that's how they make 90% of their money. When will you wake up young kids? There's a saying, if you know, you do, if you don't, you teach.

I always tell myself that if they claim to be a millionaire investor at such a young age they’re lying due to the fact that the S&P 500’s average annual return is about 8%-10% and that’s accounting a good year.

Wow. Great video. You have just opened a new perspective for me in perceiving what a millionaire is. I usually think of the Liquid Millionaire, when people say they are millionaires. I didn't think of income millionaire and net worth millionaire.

[@AnthonyVicino]

Glad you learned something!

[@SaneKoi13]

This is a whole new breed of videos, like actual information that makes you think

[@AnthonyVicino]

Awesome! Psyched you enjoyed.

Hey man i appreciate this. I'm glad there are people with actual experience that are willing to help others and keep things real and transparent. A lot of these youtubers are smart and helpful, but when they give tips they use the mindset of a millionaire and not an average joe trying to get richer, which 99% of the viewers are. When you're teaching others i fully believe you should think of their situation and their thought process first so things are more helpful and make more sense to them.

[@AnthonyVicino]

I appreciate that! I think you're spot on. You have to speak to your audience where they are, not where they hope to be. That's what I aim for, at least. Hopefully I succeed more often than not.

Then you should follow that old guy with the ball head he gives average Joe money advice like saving and being frugal etc and paying off all your bills before you start investing.

Great comparison about the differences between investment and speculation. You remember me what I read couple weeks ago in the R.K book. Excellent reminder. To be honest, is a very common mistake to confuse them.

[@AnthonyVicino]

Awesome! Glad I could be a reminder. Thanks for checking out the video.

So glad I came across your video. I tried to set up a meeting several times with Sebastian's "Google Ads Agency" & I was stood up every single time. Now I understand why. Thank you for educating us on the truth.

[@AnthonyVicino]

Much love! Psyched to have you here.

Great video. This is something that's been on my mind for a while. I've even commented this on their videos from time to time but it's always ignored (and fanboys just end up calling me a hater).

[@AnthonyVicino]

The fanboys can be a scary crowd. Tread lightly there! :)
