Pro tip, pin the full video in the comments, and if it’s not up yet, don’t post the short until you have somewhere to convert the viewers to😅 but hey, at the same time keep doing you

[@RadicalSelfImprovement]

Great advice actually. I'm going to start doing that!

[@vTKurse]

Bro listened to your advice

[@SnowyBlizzard]

@@vTKurse woahhh😂 even though most links don’t work anymore, you’ve gotta directly connect videos to shorts. That’s still pretty cool haha

[@soibiwarmate7597]

Love love love this video. Thank you!!

[@Travis_Trauma]

So true, you’re the one with the brains and the balls, other people won’t get it until it’s proven.

@@DB-od5bx there’s always some random ignorant ass hater on the internet. You need to get a life and some manners, you don’t know me. And actually I am that guy. I told people years ago to go all-in on Tesla stock and nobody in my life listened. Now I’m in a paid off house and car at 32.

Versatility is what I always here is required to be successful. Very few people are versatile.

[@TheCEOXPerience]

the idea of being a CEO is to surround yourself with people smarter than you whose feedback you value . unless you are a genius. which 99.9999% CEOs aren't . being dictatorial is only good advice if the founder is an outlier .

[@kaekae1782]

Many CEOs are geniuses. They just bring in ppl with expertise in areas . But they are still usually the brains and have the vision

Uh, “hasn’t been done before”?? He makes clothes. Am I missing something?

[@JK-vc7ie]

@@declanfinerty8583 Starting your own business and having success is outstanding, but let's get real here. It's just exercise clothes at the end of the day. Every clothing company touts a unique "story" (e.g. patagonia). Some kind of little spin from a marketing or positioning aspect does not qualify as "hasn't been done before" in my opinion. This ain't space x or apple or hewlett packard.

@@JK-vc7ie you’re caricature of tall poppy syndrome right now

[@silversxm2609]

​@@JK-vc7ie you can simplify it as much as you want but it is still a buisness, and to make innovations or inventions to make your product better is not easy. Let's not downplay it.

[@JK-vc7ie]

@@silversxm2609 I'm not downplaying it. Business is hard and anyone who achieves success has done something special. But making exercise clothes is not innovative in my opinion. His words "...hasn't been done before" connote something much bigger than what you are talking about in my opinion, i.e. targeting different customers, improvements to manufacturing process, different approach to sales and marketing, etc. Otherwise, every company is innovative and everything is innovative. If everything is innovative then nothing is innovative.

[@silversxm2609]

@@JK-vc7ie making the clothes aren't innovative of course but if your going to make a type of clothing, or incorporate something into that clothing that has never been done before (I'm sure that is what the CEO said in the clip), it is innovative as a gymwear not as a product.

[@sailaway258]

He’s right. Look at Anna wintour she is very decisive and doesn’t waste time

[@heyu123]

She might have been an editorial in chief but never a founder of vogue

[@stevefrench7036]

Business. A very fucking intimidating word. It seems to be the word that defines the value of a man these days. Manipulate money, manipulate yourself, hence others etc. It's really hard to reconcile all the ideas of the channel (which added are a gold mine mind you) From: be a normal guy that accepts how world sits on your face To Oh but you can be an ultra charismatic Chad that needs no-one. Granted the ambition if all this was never to become slave to a guru or to become a guru but.... Sorry. Even good stuff like this can be too much

[@fluke196c]

Wake up. Play or lose.

[@thedog5k]

Everyone is caught up in their autistic get rich cult of personality schemes People are being made famous telling other people how they ANYONE can become successful in a shity system but by design, not EVERYONE can

[@stevefrench7036]

@@fluke196c you're missing the point mà. It's all good and dandy but being a self-taught bookworm that can dive their arse deep into sheets and numbers ain't for everyone. Basically, business is meta, and on the flip side, not everyone is fucking tailored to do that. Peterson said that there's an over diagnosis of ADHD, for example because boys just need to be boys instead of fucking sitting all day long getting force fed information in a unilateral way. Though men can be more disciplined, it doest change the fact that not all are suited to put their fanny on a chair and go through paperwork and calculus. So yeah 'wake up'. I'm all aware of the meta mate, but I'm not gonna attribute lack of awareness to the fact that successful guys are lucky enough to play the *right* game. (not belittling their hard work though.)
