99% sure social media will become even more full of anxiety and narcissism than it is now. These "influencers" are selling empty dreams and giving false hope for young people who don't have much real life experience and who can be easily misled and manipulated. This whole obsession with money has reached new heights, and nowadays a lot of people feel bad about themselves because they aren't rich, despite the fact that they live perfectly comfortable lives. And these influencers only reinforce this sentiment, and it's just a sad situation overall.

The only time, someone got rich by reading and studying a lot was for a degree in a high earning field. So no, reading won't make you rich, reading, studying, applying the skills you learned and then earning money by filling a demand in society while at the same time be soooo good in your field, you're able to hold your own against your peers. Remember: even if you became a lawyer, there are at least thousands of other lawyers better than you chasing the same position. So graduating is NOTHING. You need to aim to be the best.

One important thing to remember is you are allowed to go out and have fun when you’re young. You don’t have to be a billionaire or a millionaire.

Some of the happiest people are also the poorest. Find what makes you happy, that’s what matters. If money makes you happy then so be it. But there is more to life than chasing paper

This comment got pretty long so I'm gonna cut it here what I'm really wanted to say is if you have a dream or a goal in life try to make it happen it will take time most likely you won't make it on your first time but work hard and at some point you will make it.

I think more about courses. I believe the biggest problem with people who say "you can find all of this for free on the internet" is that they don't seem to understand that you're paying for all the information in one place and, additionally, for personal access to the point of view of someone who appears to be knowledgeable about the subject. Moreover, the most significant issue with starting a new business on your own without any initial funds is not the lack of knowledge but rather that you don't even know what you don't know. This leads to taking longer because the knowledge you're consuming might turn out to be unimportant at the moment, and you end up wasting time when you could be learning something that is actually crucial for your current stage.

As someone who lives in Latin America, sometimes you see personal and financial growth as somewhat limited compared to other developed countries, but sometimes it all comes to changing your mindset and expand it to create better opportunities for yourself. Personally, Iman has been the guy who put kind of like a spark of motivation in my life, but watching the progress of each one of them is truly inspiring. Thanks for the great video Stefanovic!

[@Mr.Caucasian]

I heard about Iman in early November and something clicked in me when I watched his videos. This guy was making 10-20k a year when he was 16! I started researching In November about smma mainly. I tried dropshipping I tried copywriting, but they didn't work for me. I quit going to partys,hanging out with the wrong people,working out and going to the gym,and playing video games. In late January of 2023 I commented on this dream of making millions at a young age. I studied this like it was the biggest exam I would have to take. I created my agency in early February, I've been working every single day since then. I'm 14 for reference, you probably weren't thinking about work like this at a young age but I am. I grateful to say i'm about to close a $2,500 per month deal at 14. Iman changed my life and I'm so grateful for that!

[@heyitsnickpw3071]

Your 14??

[@SamyLF]

These guys started really young to work on themselves and their business. When Iman Gadhzi started his business, I was still playing FIFA for endless hours every day… They started earlier, that’s the justification of their success at a young age. Don’t be jealous guys, work hard as soon as possible.

[@Hunnidproof888]

At the end of the day, you don’t really know how these guys got to where they’re at. Everything you see is not real, especially in this day and age. Focus on building your own foundation and go with your own decisions not these KZbin influencers. Everyone’s got advice, but we all got our own unique gifts and circumstances to overcome. We know the truth 🗣💯

[@MJ98.]

❤

[@SouthyBoss]

Just facts 👏

[@MadinaVadache]

👍

[@mattjamis5808]

Honestly, not much to say… You can see in all Iman videos the truth and the hard way he had. Always Iman tries to transmit us the best advices. I feel deeply inspired. The only goal to retire my mom and start really living life.

[@morethanX]

I don't think this is the "dark truth". The dark truth is that these capitalistic endeavors are rewarded so heavily when they bring very little value to the table. Most businesses nowadays are marketing to trick the average consumer into paying more for products and services that are sourced very cheaply from other countries. Its an endless cycle of materialistic pursuits. In other words, don't hate the players, hate the game.

[@donvanmuwalo7941]

The key to this video is finishing it

[@YaYousef5]

This is an excellent video. Great storytelling, editing and direction. Good research and message. The thing I'm struggling to understand with Iman is why anyone would choose to hire him? Let's say you're looking for a Google Adsense agency. Why pick a then 19 year olds, relatively new, agency over an established one that is a trusted brand? Did he put on his agency website that it's run by a 19 year old with no degree? Where was his team from? Was it local to him or did he outsource labor from third world countries so he could massively underpay then relative paying for the same employees in his county? The other two creators you mention in this video say they started with drop shipping, and it can be a faceless brand, but with an agency, you want to know who's running it. I'm struggling to see how people would choose him over the thousands of other agencies, especially if you do your due diligence in research. I've worked at advertising agencies and in house at a fortune 500 company. We do a ton of research, call agencies and meet with people before signing any deals. Another strange thing about Iman's agency, IAG Media, is it only lists 4 clients on their website and there's no examples of their work. Where's their portfolio? Every agency features their portfolio of work, showing what they've done. I also can't find any reviews online for IAG Media, where with most agencies, you can easily find reviews online, sometimes as little as Facebook reviews. IAG Media doesn't have that. I'm still skeptical. Wish you would've pointed these things out in your video!

[@kevizzotheone]

He's a fraud. He lived in a rich people area in London since moving to UK and he makes his money from selling courses and KZbin. There's a youtuber who dug through the company and found it making less than 100k dollars per year

[@aykamagamadova5120]

I’m glad that more and more people talks about Iman. And even more glad that he captured all his journey from the very beginning. It’s so inspiring. And it’s actually takes a lot of work, everything he does. And you can see how many people appreciate it including myself

[@TehBananaBread]

End of the day its very easy: Survivorship bias. You see a few kids popping out of nowhere, but for a few of those, thousand others failed over and over again.

[@Stefanovic92]

Means a lot❤

[@JL-vw2et]

Great video! Iman is the epitome of putting in the work, pushing through the good and bad and making necessary sacrifices to achieve all the success he set out for himself. A huge shout out to Jordan and Sebastian as well! All the love from South Africa!

[@goodwong5389]

I don't like MISLEADING titles, it's not what I am looking for as a Value !!

[@RWMHub]

and what about those who just got into uni spared a year or so and then realised wanting to drop uni ..? whats the other option? drop uni and sacrifice 1year's hard work and see it all go in vain when in the end you might be left with neither the grades nor the success with online hustle at this point tbh it sucks badly that u get so lost and anxious not even a penny u be left with to begin smth on our own and on the other hand lose minds with studies which u actually hate to do! studying sucks but not as much as failure but not all can do that shit, I would instead prefer to fail in our hustles and come back even stronger but not do smth that would benefit you in no way, not talking about the short-lived safeguarding with a 9-5 job but about living that dreams life which for sure comes with only taking risks and this vid made me aware of several other things ... great job man! u never fail to bring back that fire within, with your every single vid 🙃

[@zeenoskills5743]

It was only yesterday I was watching you quit your data analyst job. I am really enjoying this kind of content from you! I was fully engaged through the whole video and editing is honestly amazing. Keep it up, man. You’re really putting out some quality content and I absolutely love the message this video holds how hard work is avoided much more these days than in history.

[@Stefanovic92]

Exactly man!

[@rildofranco2863]

I watched the whole video and I can tell you that these guys are really an inspiration for a lot of us especially Iman and Jordan that are guys I’ve been watching since 2019/2020, during those rough times they were like a light at the end of the tunnel and basically the reason I also decided to change my life and my approach when it comes to this world and entrepreneurship, although you had some doubts about Iman in the beginning I’m sure you saw this guy build who he he’s from the ground, he basically has everything documented so he can also motivate and inspire other people and the most impressing is they did everything by themselves, basically they learned from their mistakes and today they’re more than content creators, they’re changing lives and inspiring people. Don’t regret you started with a 9-5, it’s never about the start is always about the ending, life is not a race, everybody at their own speed will figure it out, I’m glad you’re also trying a different approach, and trying to change your life for the best I’m sure you’ll make it, wish you all the luck in the world and wish you can achieve all your goals just like me and so many other around the world are trying hard to do it.

[@scarylove_era]

really really well done, these 3 guys have changed the game of documenting, hopefully they stay on the honest path to success

[@victornebs4018]

Man this video is just exceptional. Your editing is so good, the quality of the video is great and my favorite thing is your story telling technique. I find it very captivating

[@cigon7822]

Iman is a great inspiration as he is an example of how anyone can achieve their goals in life no matter how far it seems. Dude was born in Dagestan and made his way to Dubai by overcoming everything the life threw at him. You are %100 right that the haters are mad at him because they did not put their time and effort at such a young age and they cannot just cope with it. It is all there on Iman's youtube channel. He put the effort first and then got the reward later.

[@riyaagarwal7976]

I already got my first client by following his cold calling script given in the course..I got his course for around 30$ (pirated)

[@DanRichter]

I used to know a lot kids like this in the Army. They're pretty common, maybe 1 in 50. They'd be 19 years old, fresh to the unit, straight out of basic training, and immediately start talking about how much they make "day trading" or in "crypto." They'd ask if there's limits as to how much they can earn before they get kicked out of the Army, just to get everyone's attention. All the young privates would flock to them hoping to learn how to escape the rat race. Well, 2-3 years later they're still in the unit, doing the exact same thing, still in the Army, no C8 Corvette as promised, no R8, still living in the barracks and never got that off-base mansion that we'd all get to party at once the paperwork clears...

[@christospetalotis]

Dope video dude. You spoke things that hurt but that are absolutely true. People (myself included) need to realise that success does not come easy and you have to work hard for it. Here's to your new journey.

[@rjjrdq]

assuming these guys (who just happen to know eachother) are legit, NONE of them are going to give you information that will create competition for them. Do what I did, yes, do what I'm currently doing-no way.

[@TypusX]

There is nothing much to tell you guys that Iman is pathing a way and having a impact to all of us. Inspiring to see what you can archive by his influence and getting better each day !

[@justinmendoza7124]

Iman's a wise man in young guy's body and has the mental and emotional maturity that is unparalleled to a majority of people in his age group. I watched his journey over the past few years on KZbin and on social media and I can tell you that he's not cut from the same cloth as others. Over the pandemic, I started to become a really big supporter of him and decided to take more accountability for my life because of what he philosophizes. I hope to see you at the top some day brother. Bless you.

[@avernicus]

bro clickbaited us hard

[@Nh_8008]

Yeah

[@winstonchan9703]

Iman is just so damn inspiring man, documenting everything since he was 15. Shows the good and the ugly and how much he didn’t care about others opinions that led him to the success he has today. Truly an inspiration

[@IDisobey]

I came from Imans story and I want to say he’s actually one of the few legit online Entrepreneurs. His story should inspire everyone and you can see it was all documented and not made up. He backs everything he says with something and he never sold out by doing sponsors on anything etc. Everything about this man is honest and that’s why I respect him so much. Anybody who lost a parent before knows how much of a struggle it is but iman is literally the person who proved you can do anything if you want and NEVER APOLOGIZE FOR IT!

[@williamuemura7644]

Titles to your videos include: "How to Protect Yourself from Coronavirus (BEST TIPS)" "Getting Ready For World War 3" "How to get views on KZbin" "when james charles sees a straight person"

[@williamuemura7644]

You also botted 30k subs, a music video, and the single video you put on your front page. All of your other videos have 300-800 views with the occasional 1000+. If he's legit, then why don't you go listen to his advice instead of botting?

[@AnCapDog144]

These videos are so hilarious. They never tell you how they do it. Less competition for them, more money. They’re basically replacing the monopoly of information the Universities and Religious Institutions used to have… Out of the frying pan and into the boiling pot

[@andrewharris6347]

I’m in a similar situation - aware my life could be much much much better - I too plan on removing myself from dependency on a corporate job - keep inspiring me and I’ll also inspire others.

[@WhiteBoardFinance]

I personally know one of the three in this video and can vouch that he’s legit! Great video

[@victorcampero2847]

Iman is making such a big impact on the minds of young men who want to become financially free and fulfill their potential. Even me at 30 years old I can say that his advice is truly powerful and his insights and words reflect a deep understanding of how one should carry in life to accomplish their goals. And to go even further he is changing lives not only by sharing his knowledge, but by helping others with his money and time. Even paying some guy`s cancer treatment. Very humble and inspiring young man. Kudos to Iman, a real G.

[@kumjenklins5282]

So that means you bought his new course?

[@mahlstadt]

I’m impressed that Iman wrote so many positive comments in this section under aliases. He must spend a lot of time online keeping up this charade and countering any criticism. Get a real job Iman!

[@MartialLiam]

As KZbinrs we always inspire to improve, set new goals, new challenges. Watching other KZbinrs do well is a great motivation, great video!

[@leonmrrs]

Iman has inspired me a lot to see what's possible since I found his videos. ~2 years ago I would've seen a video reccomendation like this one, not even clicked on it, and assumed they were scammers and that it was impossible. It's a gift being able to watch someone's entire journey like we can for free with these 3. I think I didn't believe this stuff in the past because in my daily life there's noone super successful. Really inspiring to see people from my generation and background overcoming the seemingly inescapable mundanity of the average life. It's very powerful.

[@gemma88teach]

These guys are such an inspiration! ❤ Every day, after work I watch the videos from Iman and Sebastian while building my online business nights, when my daughter sleeps...and I truly believe, I will succeed if I put in a lot of work as these guys did:) The content & message they´re putting out is much appreciated and helping a lot of people, who are also willing to change their lives 🙏

[@thisguyrools2807]

I'm 28 and still find their stories inspiring and you're not too early or too late I'm going to give it a shot. Read unscripted by MJ Demarco and realized I took the wrong path in life. Maybe with effort by age 35-36 I too can be where I want to be in life. My bosses are in their 50s and I see how unhappy they are working for a corporation. That can't be me one day.

[@randomfellow1483]

Any advice for a 16 year old?

[@thisguyrools2807]

@@randomfellow1483 don’t choose a major in college just because it’s easy. Look at the job outlook, growth potential,pay, the cost of living on where you want to live and how you want to live. Follow something you feel passionate about and most importantly work hard now and party later. You might miss a few parties sacrificing in high school and maybe college but when you have more money in your late 20s you can treat yourself a little better when you do go out. I partied every weekend in my early 20s. Definitely was a big distraction.

[@0ThrowawayAccount0]

I am curious how with your research you never found out Iman Gadzhi *did* start out poor after his dad left his mom. However, ... his mom ended up marrying a super wealthy dude and they literally have been multimillionaires ever since. Iman carefully edits his videos and even went to a wealthy prep school. This step-father is who funded all his investments. This video reads out like an advertisement for these guys.

[@LucasGuanes]

Becoming a data analyst and doing the 9 to 5 made you who you are today, it was part of your journey to get you to this point. No waste of time there. I like to think the same for myself. We all get a different starting point due to life circumstances that do not depend on us, but mainly on chance.

[@Stefanovic92]

100% true. Just wonder where I would have been if I would have started YT right away. But yeah “what if.. what if..”

[@Marlon-rb8fk]

It's actually so inspiring what Iman has done… he clearly proved that as long as you are dedicated and consistent, you'll eventually get to where you want to be. The big decision is for you to take, don't give up if you're reading this, do your best and dominate.💪💪

[@kokokouyoumjian3067]

I love it, everyone has a story to share. Your story inspires me more than any of theirs, because you know how the reality is out there.

What an honest and respectful video, most people just don’t wanna accept this truth.

The big discrepancy is, these guys made their money selling courses and "education,". They didn't get rich actually doing what they teach.

[@alaskanwhiskey]

Yep.

[@tahanawfal]

The question is, what books to read that will start changing your mindset and be an internet freeman instead of 905 slave

[@Stefanovic92]

Here's a couple that really had an impact on me: - Way of the Superior Man - The 4-hour workweek - Zero to One - Steve Jobs (biography) - Millionaire fastlane - Rich dad Poor dad

[@tahanawfal]

Thanks bro, you are the best and I'm sure with your excellent skills, you will reach these KZbinrs someday. for me my profit plan will be as follows: 1- Enhance my analysis skills in order to work in a company or freelancer as data analytic (since I'm already progressing in it and working on my first project currently) 2- Then after that will start making a 2nd income business that will reach me into the Millionaire Beach

[@wealthineer]

Amazing video. I am currently 31, an still on my way to figure those things out. I spent my 20s doing mountaineering and skimo and stuff like that. Sure those who started at the age of 16 and dedicated their life to it are now well ahead of me even though they are way younger. But I am dedicated to learn from them to maybe be where they are at 22 when I reach maybe my 35th or 40th Birthday. For me it is not a sprint where I have to be first. But it nevertheless would be amazing to get there eventually. Through hard work and dedication.
