Hey, i love your video, you have so much talent and value to offer, your video really inspired me and helped me to improve,thank you and keep up what you are doing ❤

[@thepeeve]

As someone who has owned a trucking company for 3 years now, and my wife running/owning a a large coffee/wine bar for 2.5 years, this video hits the nail on the head 100%. And on top of this, you feel alone/secluded in these feelings because you only can relate with other full time entrepreneurs. You feel alone hanging out with your friends who have jobs of working for other firms or people. You have a hard time getting people to understand barriers in growth with something that is out of your control (ie insurance), and that it still looks like it's all on you. They assume you can work whenever you want or can take a break whenever you want, yet have never been in the position to where it's even harder to take a break because you know you could be doing more. This is all true, and very hard to articulate it to your peers. Thank you for making this video to articulate this to others.

[@AnthonyVicino]

I really appreciate you sharing this, brother. So powerful.

[@CassandraRosen]

Not feeling alone is, in part, why I love LinkedIn as a community. I'm surrounded by people that are likeminded and going through a lot of the same things I'm going through. It also allows me to pour in and give back to those that are behind me blazing their own trails. I'm not married to the network, and am very aware it's still 'rented real estate', but there's power in people, and power in stories and transparency (like what Anthony is sharing here). No one needs that more than the ones that are out front on the battle lines making it happen for everyone else.

[@Faris._.]

So are these consequences you mentioned good or bad in the long run? Are they worth it ?

[@Chrisia-Queens]

Entrepreneurship is not for the weak. You're 1 man show. As a clothing brand owner, I'm the fashion designer, web designer, content creator, marketer, accountant, manufacturer. It's very hard. And at the beginning you don't see the money comes in, and you have to keep going.

[@AnthonyVicino]

Exactly right. Just gotta keep moving forward despite all the self-doubt.

[@JustinNowak]

I started working for myself because I cannot work for others. I actively rebel against authority. And first I thought I was the problem, and I got depressed. But I took the jump and have made it work. Although it has been tough at times, it is worth it!

[@AnthonyVicino]

Nice! Congrats on taking the jump!

[@DonMaloy]

This video nailed what really being an entrepreneur is like. Difficulty multiplies even more so when you are starting a product from a clean slate or entering an industry with a product that is expensive to develop or regulated. This may be why you don’t see too many people developing commercial airliners or starting car companies. This might not be the most popular opinion, but I think most people are better suited being employees.

[@AnthonyVicino]

It's an unpopular opinion, but I agree with it.

[@_Mr.Uploads_]

I snagged that free month and I'm pumped. It should be illegal for such valuable content to have under 500 views in the first hour. I appreciate you Anthony and keep at this channel, I'm loving it!

[@AnthonyVicino]

Really appreciate the love, brother. Glad you found this video valuable.

[@GoRidir]

I've learned so many things from you than I did from any other KZbin vid in the last 1 year about business, health, relationship and so on . Thanks for your incredible info

[@AnthonyVicino]

Hells yeah, that gets me so psyched to hear!

[@TheMechanicalBob]

Anthony, I truly love and appreciate your content and your work. It's all genuine and down to earth which makes it so realistic. Thank you so much for all the effort and inspiration 🙏🏼

I started my own business in the field. I have no idea about 20 years ago just celebrated the 20 years in April. I had to learn everything and do everything very very difficult but rewarding at the same time spot on here.

[@AnthonyVicino]

Love to hear that!

[@JarrydGreitschus]

This hit home! Not sure if I would resonate with this before I had my own business, but as I'm now in the process of transitioning into it full time... I feel this!

[@AnthonyVicino]

Nice. Welcome to the entrepreneurial-pool. :)

[@JSleepless]

As a parent and entrepreneur, this resonates. It’s a tough road and if I have one key area of advice, it’s to associate and collaborate with more successful entrepreneurs. I miss out on this because my time can’t afford to develop those relationships.

[@AnthonyVicino]

Getting around others who are fighting the same fight as you is pretty powerful.

[@alpeve]

Great insight! I signed up for your Hyperfocus master class and part of the Apex community now. As an ADHD’er, I’m looking forward to getting sh!t done for real.

[@LessonsUnlocked]

Hi Anthony, this is the perfect video that describes what I’m going through, exactly what I’ve experienced after leaving the corporate world of 15+ years. I think one other challenge is the financial management and the unexpected length of the runway you need to persist in the game, any thoughts or advice on how to survive long enough to keep going? Everyone in my old world keeps pushing to go back to work to regain stability and straddle and the new world of entrepreneurial friends suggest the opposite and persist despite bleeding money and find ways to persist like you’re life depends on it, going back to work is the easy solution but the ignorance tax I’m paying is getting costly…an internal battle I’m constantly fighting every day…

[@AnthonyVicino]

I'm psyched to hear this video is resonating with your experiences so far. Keep going. You got this!

[@Louis-Lane]

It's coming. Will be launching in the next month or so. We're taking people onto a waitlist for the first cohort: www.beyondtheapex.com.

[@lisaeisenhauer1548]

I've been "studying" forex, tax strategies and investing strategies for years now, and am starting to feel really embarrassed for not having anything to show for all of my time and effort. I way overcomplicate and overthink things, ruminating over the same questions and stresses for months or even years (!) As I pace around the house like a caged tiger wondering about xyz (tax questions, usually...) my 9-5 friends casually mention how they simply enrolled in an automated AI futures day trading app that they saw when they were scrolling through FB, and are now making profits. Why don't I just do that, they ask? Sigh. I don't know. Because apparently I want to waste my entire life suffering in agony trying to be the tortoise and not the hare, because the tortoise wins the race in the end...right? (Right?)

[@AnthonyVicino]

I totally feel that, Lisa. The desire to collect "all the information" is an understandable one.

[@erlendgars]

I can relate. All these videos that were meant to be guides and all i needed to know to go start that business became casual entertainment.

[@RajvardhaDeshmukh7]

Namaskar i recently got to know about your channel my question is that how can i overcome my addiction for video games

[@AnthonyVicino]

Great question. I struggled with video game addiction for a long time. The only solution that worked for me was to get rid of gaming consoles entirely.

pessimistic video that can hold you back from becoming a business owner because its just negative.

[@AnthonyVicino]

If hearing the truth of entrepreneurship talks you out of starting a business, then good... you were never going to make it through the reality of building a business. I'm not here to spread rainbows and sunshine. I'm here to help people become the highest and best version of themselves, and for a lot of people that means NOT becoming an entrepreneur.

[@criticalthinker-ys7vt]

@@AnthonyVicino not every business is rocket science and hard, you can buy and sell cars and get rich by doing that... its common sense, you buy cheap and sell it for more and make money.
