What advice would I give to young entrepreneurs?

[@adg5917]

You're going to be an awesome Dad.

[@jakeiscool446]

I'm 20 and run my own business, this is exactly what I needed to hear, I've read so many books, think grow rich, the ten X rule, Tony Robbins etc but just hearing you say this so honestly has helped me realise I need stop thinking and start feeling. Thank you for this.

[@DedicationBlog]

Yeah I get asked this a lot as well, and I feel the same - I can't give people "good" advice because I don't know their life and their circumstances. All I say is find something you're interested in and try to make a business from that, rather than trying to just doing something purely to make money. Also I'd say don't underestimate niche markets - so many people seem to go for the general consumer market as they think that's the only way to make big money but I think you are more likely to make a decent amount of money if you make something specialist aimed at a niche market. Sure you might not make millions or billions from it, but you stand more chance of making a few hundred thousand (which is more than enough for most people I would say!) from a niche market than you do of making any money at all from a product aimed at the general consumer market that already has thousands of companies doing the same thing.

[@Cryaxxx]

Great advice from my 2 favourite channels. To live the life of the diablos and audi R8s you can not settle for an 8-5 office job. Follow your passion without the intention of making money and the money will follow you. No one can show you how to be successful there isn't an 8 step program, Reality is yours, create it.

[@Burroughsbikebuilds]

***** I am an example of the niche market you described. Couldn't agree more with what you said. I grow Shiitake mushrooms in Colorado, just Shiitake, nothing more. We've been genetically isolating larger capped Shiitake's for about three years now. And the work has paid off. Which is the only reason why we have the contracts with Kroger. Not only are we in a niche market of gourmet mushrooms, but also an even smaller niche considering our cap size. Although I am not wealthy, I am hoping to fulfill Kroger's contract come end of January. It'll like bring in 20-30k/month in profit, which sounds like a lot but considering the upfront costs of diversifying into another farm... I'll be keeping my holey jeans, Ramen noodles, and the old Ford Focus for awhile. I really appreciate your videos Rob. And it does have an inpact on the "Younger generation of you". Thanks for everything, I hope to run into at a rally sometime after the farm is a true success!

[@wayneduffey7405]

I think it's great to see someone with a decent amount of monetary wealth take time to communicate with their viewers like Rob does. I come from a pretty wealthy part of the US and I can say that there are not many people like Rob. You share your life and your cars with us however you never give the impression that you are trying to show people that you are better than them. A good amount of people who are successful will try to sell you a "how to get rich quick" or "how to have an awesome life like mine" book of some sort but you share your knowledge because you actually and authentically want to help people achieve their goals and I think that is an awesome thing to do. You may not think it's such a big deal but your videos such as this one have helped me realize that there is more to life than just making a lot of money and it also motivated me to do things that a wouldn't normally do (good things of course) and take steps towards a better life. Thanks Rob!

[@oDiProductions]

Very honest and well-thought out answer. Love the encouragement of risk-taking. Thanks Rob!

[@MotionAutoTv]

Awesome vid man! Gives me some good tips for my 1/4 life crisis lol

[@mikelbring]

This comment ages well. Keep up the good work man.

[@adambarbato3538]

Ive been following your channel for a while and i am truely greatful i found this video while going back through the older videos. I took a lot of this to heart and i see how i can apply this advice to myself. Thank you very much Rob.

[@esowaych]

I like your videos because they're down to earth and you give legitimate practical advice that seems to actually make sense and connect with me. Very well done Rob!

[@Drifter1440]

"Lower watched but higher engaging" You don't know how right you are Rob,thank you for making these helpful videos and stay awesome :D

[@tjhunt_]

And this is why I love you. Good Video Rob. Much Appreciated.

[@BinkaSnail]

So cool to see how long you’ve been a fan!

[@jackjack4412]

Why tf do you have more subscribers

[@mblood486]

"Biggest thing you have to lose is time" You made my day Rob. Most honest statement ever. I try to say that to people all the time and they just don't understand.

[@Migsmikes]

I appreciate these type of videos you post with my most profound gratitude. Your energy is not being wasted, it's being transferred to other people including myself. Thank you, Rob!

[@JustinABow]

Dude these life vids are some of the best videos ive ever seen. Like i think "when i grow up, i want to be Rob Dahm. And like dude kids at school with me know about u from me and ur cars and u have the best channel on youtube, keep it up.

[@Bash2298]

What I think is the best part of your channel, and you, is how brutally honest and real you are, and how something like this can be so motivating. I really appreciate your channel, thank you.

[@Jetsrule192]

This was truly some of the best 15 minutes I've spent procrastinating studying for finals. Thanks so much for making this video, it really spoke to me. Not that I want to "be like you" but I find myself in the same position you may have seen yourself years ago. I'm 20, but an IM&T major at Syracuse. HUGE passion for cars and obviously materialistic things, but I understand it isn't about just getting there and having these things, it comes down to creating your own happiness. I loved the advice you gave man, really did, you're a great guy and awesome person.

[@stuffit14321]

The people that have the most wisdom are the ones that realise that the sum of their wisdom is infinitely small. Great video

[@Chiltonzr2]

I don't comment on videos often.. This video really moved me though. I don't really know what to say or anything but if you read this I just wanted to let you know that I really appreciate someone speaking out and giving advice as real and heartfelt as this. Thanks man...

[@22laith22]

I'm glad you do these kind of videos, I don't have anyone to talk to about these kind of things cause I feel like no one thinks the way I think. But what you said made me feel like this video was specifically for me, like you read my mind and made a video out of it. Lol. Keep up the great videos, you're a real inspiration

[@TheSevanovich]

You sir, are my therapist. You have the exact same problem as I do. I over think everything and add loads of stress to my life for no reason. Evaluating all the possible outcomes of a situation and weighing the costs/benefits of absolutely EVERYTHING in life seems like a gift to some people... but it's truly a curse. I find that I enjoy life the most when I just say, "Fuck it" and take a leap. Those moments also tend to be the most rewarding and knowledgeable experiences. My deepest thanks for what you do. You're a true inspiration and role model!

[@Xerkam]

thank you very much for this video. im 17 years old and ive had a very rough few months battling some negative thoughts in my head about life. ive been in a depressed-state and was trying to snap back into my usual way of "thinking". this video really put things into perspective. this whole time I felt like I was the only person struggling because I look around and see all these "happy people". but when you said "everyone is struggling" it was just spot on. I cant thank you enough. Ive taken all your advice and I have a small journal where I keep some of my thoughts and I write down almost all your advice. one day this will all pay off and I hope someday I can personally thank you for all the help youve given me.

[@J0Z0117]

You're the only person that gives non-bullshit advice. The "Go where the people are" has changed my view 'plan' completely. It happens all around me and I've only just realised. Thank you Rob, truly motivated me! Now to go out and act on it!

[@mikeywi96]

Your videos are easily some of the best inspiration. I just remember typing "How to afford a Lamborghini" on KZbin about a year and a half to two years ago and I have been hooked ever since. You have honestly changed my life for the better and I cannot thank you enough for that.

[@danieltercero89]

Thanks Mr. Dahm, I love your videos. From cars to business to the way you carry yourself around, it inspires me not just motivates me.

[@OsBKenshin]

I first subscribed because of your diablo videos, now I'm subscribed because of the diablo and videos like this. You really are such a humble person, and I love the fact that you take the time to appreciate your viewers. I've had such a rough week from school and other personal problems. This really motivated me, thank you Rob.

[@PigeonLaughter01]

"Don't think, Feel" This hit me hard! I have big meticulous plans, but I can't foresee and plan for everything, and the uncertainty paralyzes me into mediocrity. I need to take the leap of faith, but I have no emotional power behind it. Reminds me of a theory that if your excited about something, go do it. Don't worry where it may lead, just follow your joy, because joy is the indication your one the right path.

[@octagonapuus]

Thank you again Rob! You have no idea how much I appreciate you making videos like this.

[@NickSousa17]

Rob I just want to say thank you, I my self am a thinker, that's probably one of my greatest strengths and an even bigger weakness because it makes me take life way to seriously but hearing some one talk about finding that balance and living life to its fullest is a reminder that I don't have to be so serious all the time. I am not always the happiest person in the world but I am trying to find the balance you have so thank you again and keep the videos like this and the cars coming.

[@h0y0ung]

Rob, I've been watching your videos for close to 4 years now, you have provided me with nothing but entertainment joys and few wisdom's here and there. All I want to say is keep doing what ever you have been doing, and don't ever apologize to your viewers for jumping around with different videos again. I enjoy this type of video, along with all the car stuff you put up. On a side note, all I ask of you on the continental is...Accuair suspension and 500whp. :)

[@1009sandhurst707]

Rob, mad respect man. Thank you for opening up my eyes. Everything you said in this video I could relate to. Thanks for all these videos and keep up the great work!

[@MiiSbk]

Great video, thanks! In a way I have a little bit different viewpoint of this: - If you have to DECIDE - try to feel, what's right before deciding. - If you have to do something IMPORTANT - JUST DO IT! (Don't ask yourself "Am I in the right mood to do that?")

[@liamhaywood4115]

You honestly have no no idea how these videos help me in life. Thanks for making me FEEL like I can live up to something Rob.

[@SteezySubie]

Rob, Your advice has really touched me. Succes to me is more than just money and I love how you are going out and expressing your excitment and advice to us, the younger crowd, that havent had life changing events or even events that happen and change our way of thinking. I thank you for making this simple hobby, of making videos, so different and thought provoking and i hope to see you make more of them! But dont skip to much on the Rx-7! Got to love to Rotarys!!

[@StasRyadinsky]

Wow this video really opened my eyes. Even if its a 15 min video by a guy who has never seen me, doesn't know who I am or even exist on this planet, I gained quite a lot. All I have to do is follow and listen to what ever you said. My life sucks at the moment but from now on when I do the stuff that I want and don't want to do I will shape my understanding of the world and life. Thank you Rob, I am very happy because this video can and might change my life and if it does I will say that this video was not a waste and just another video to get more subs, views and likes, but in someway has improved someones life. Again thank you.

[@GokuTheHusky]

I literally almost cried which is really hard for me. This is the most deep fucking thing i have ever heard.

[@Veicore]

This was an exceptional video, Rob; trying not to live your life so analytically is something I am trying to improve on, so the point you made about just doing what will make life good (instead of thinking about it), really hit home.

[@calebmall3933]

This is better than that Shia LaBouef video. This is really deep and inspirational

[@basketball1608]

I love the car videos but I would rather watch these types of videos everyday. What you share in these videos is very direct and to the point but also inspirational. I hope to see more frequent videos like these!

[@DoubleT90T]

Great Advise... I've been trying to come up with some plans but it's really hard. Your advise helps. Thanks!

[@kevintorres3214]

Your videos keep me inspired. I can't stop watching them because I know that each time I learn something new from it!

[@huntergill7085]

Out of the many channels (mostly cars) I subscribe to, you respond to by far the most comments... I respect that

[@TheExquisiteRoofer]

Fantastic advice Rob. I really admire you and your views on life in general. You speak from a rational heart and I respect that. I heard this when I needed it most and you have helped me more than you know.

[@AirMechMoto]

Thanks for putting this out there Mr.Dahm. I feel I am on the right track. 19 years old. Out in the world by myself, trying to get as much experiences as I can. I am in the USAF Living in Japan. I am currently getting free college which is awesome. Im proud that I am doing something with my life. I plan on using this as a structure to build a successful lifestyle after my enlistment.

[@barnabyray11]

It feels like this advice or these thoughts couldn't have came at a more impactful time in my life. I really appreciate these videos, it's hard to explain but they help me get through life and get the most out of my experiences and interactions with others and all my hobbies or things I like to do. I'm pretty sure the next time people come to me for advice I'll just link them to this video. Very well rounded, I couldn't have said it better myself.

[@jonny1531]

I enjoy hearing what you have to say. I'm a computer science student in university, and so naturally your profession and advice interests me a lot. Thanks for making this video man

[@alexabdul6115]

Love the video Rob! My new e-commerce business has me worried all the time ( mostly due to my thoughts) and this helps me out a lot. I have had thoughts about moving to Palo Alto/ Silicon Valley after college before, but people around me don't think it's worth it. Your advice has helped SO much. Keep killing it, Rob.

[@ZackTheKack]

Rob, thank you for the videos. I love the RX-7 stuff (actually bought an FB and an FC because of the three rotor vids), the Lamborghini vids are cool and you're honest about it which is awesome (instead of "it's the best ever!" and the like), but the honest, personal stuff is what keeps me coming back. I really appreciate it and it helps me to relax and process things so I can move on in a more intelligent way. Thank you. Keep it up. Can't wait for more videos.

[@annon123]

Rob I know you won't believe this but I'm your Great Grandson in the future.. I'm watching your videos and they inspire me, thanks granddad.

[@theomnipotentt4367]

Just listening to this and taking this advice in makes me feel like I can turn my life around and give myself a better future. I can't get enough of listening to these videos. It adds confidence to my everyday life. My goal is just to keep up this feeling to hopefully make a better life in the future but who knows whats to come next. Thank for these videos please keep up the amazing work!!!

[@TheAznafrothunder]

I really get what you are saying. When you said feel instead of think about things it really hit home with me. I haven't been able to find a reason to get out of the house because of thinking too hard about where my life is going if I keep this up. But after watching this I see things differently. Thanks for another great video.

[@themillomillo3882]

I'm sure you get thousands of people telling you how inspirational your videos are, but to me it's greater than that, you have helped me to understand my own mindset. I know you can't offer 'magical' advice and I'll be instantly successful but you truly have given me motivation to achieve personal goals. Love your car content too :)

[@BlastphamousHDGaming]

this is possibly the realest life advice ive ever heard.........big ups bro :)

[@iant720]

Rob I have to say this was your best video, felt very personal and hit dead on with things I already realized or clicked with me. I get bogged down thinking to much about my career, and you brought up a great point. For example I got stuck on thinking of all the ways to build exhaust on my bike, in the end I just bought a welder, and got cracking on it, it's done now :). Need to have more doing!!

[@ethanpanella9351]

Rob you said that you appreciate me viewing the video, I appreciate you uploading it. I watch every video you upload and still get excited for the next one to come out. Youre a really smart and cool guy, I like both the car videos and business videos. In your business videos I can tell that you really think and atleast try to understand life and then implement it into a video to give us viewers good advice. Keep doing what youre doing!

[@TheNyancar]

Hey, loved the video, and I feel like this is the best advice I've ever gotten. I am so glad that your UPS video made it to the front page of KZbin, or else I would have never found this. Thank you! Now I am going to go explore the world and go to where the people are!

[@sreyemhtes]

Good advice Rob. I'm a bit older than you and everything you say resonates true. We all have a lot more freedom than we understand. Being open to new experiences and people is great advice.

[@Asatorian]

This helped me a lot. I just wanted to say thanks. I felt I had to let you know. I'm 23 and I've been thinking and thinking and thinking about what I want to do and I always end up in the same spot. I see now that I've been feeding myself bullshit. I'll give my heart a try and see where that takes me. Thanks for the encouragement!

[@wannabecarguy]

Rob that is stop on. the best advice yet. love it. if you could only hear the conversation I have with friends and business owners.

[@drewx420]

Excellent way of wording advice. Very glad your so humble and honest , Not trying to shout advice out saying its 100% fullproof for every type of person. Alot of people that make money off those seminars are exactly the opposite. Saying it'll work regardless the type of person or personality you have.. Cheers Rob Stay classy mate & excellent beard maybe in 5 years mine will fill in!!

[@Joeldc510R]

This advice is really good Rob. Thanks a lot. I've been doing the exact opposite of the last part you were saying lately and that's probably why I haven't been feeling very happy. Solid words man.

[@BdaB164]

Hey Rob thanks for doing these videos. I want to start buying and leasing out commercial property in a few years. I'm an accounting major and I love playing the game safe, but like you said you can't expect to succeed without a little failure along the way.

[@sirpachy8761]

I just started watching your videos. You seem pretty real and down to earth. And the fact that you socialize with your followers/supporters is pretty awesome. I just opened up a restaurant in new jersey. We think alike. Hopefully I can make it as far as you.

[@joshdavis7311]

Hey Rob, Thank you for posting this video. I have been reading some books on wholesaling and real estate investment, and when you say emotion over speech makes one happy, I realized that I actually feel good about something for a change. I don't feel like I have to tell myself to do the work when I emotionally want too.

[@TheWillis1237]

Thanks for this video Rob. Really made me think. You're a great guy and we can all see it. THanks again man

[@Vapor3vGT]

thank you sooo much rob, for all the videos and all the help and being so nice and actually talking to everyone. one day i will have my own company, I'm determined!! :)

[@devilstangsjustin8165]

Thank you Rob. This video is the final kick I needed. keep this content flowing.

[@KRoegiest]

Good video, I was going through those final 2 points myself this past week during random mental rants and coming to pretty much the same conclusion. Having plenty of brain power doesn't make you any less happy in itself, but it's so much easier to find excuses and relativations for yourself. Don't give in to those and just live taking it all in and enjoying it!

[@eagleeyes221]

Thanks rob i took a bit of advice out of this video and some of it i knew but the most helpful thing i found here was to get out and live life. Your right time is a limited resource so we have to use it to our advantage

[@WARSMITHAFROW]

Some of the best advice, or inspiration I've even seen. I've been looking for the spark to ignite a passion, But i haven't found the right path. This has shown me, I need to figure out where I'm going, before i try to get there. I don't know where I'm going with this, but thank you.

[@JebuS_sK]

You're such a good person Rob, so much respect for you.

[@charlesrayshisleriii]

Hey Rob, started watching your videos a week or so ago and I gotta say this is really solid advice. Thanks!

[@snipeufast93]

im glad you take the time to give advice to people, many others would not be so generous. and alot of the things you said kind of remind me of the way i think sometimes

I really appreciate these videos Rob. You're a down to earth guy.

[@mattthambirajah4422]

Wow - thanks for this Rob. Your sincerity is amazing :)

[@Swatkiller7]

I feel like this is directly about my life haha. Turning 19 and I've been working hard to get a career doing what I love, telecommunications and electrical work. Experiencing life as I go along and being happy working towards my dream RX7. If your sole purpose to this video was to inspire or give a little wisdom to at least one person, I can say its worked so far, keep on living a fulfilled life Rob

[@sonymfa]

Awesome video dude! I don't know if you know Elliott Hulse, but he also shares this attitude towards life. He said in a video " The most stable thing a man can do, is listen to his heart, and to follow it". I experienced for myself that doing what your heart wants makes you feel muuuuuch happier. If you don't think, you are more in the moment and you start realising the (little) things in life that make you happy. For example I really love cars and interacting with people who share this love. Two weeks ago I got my driving license and even driving my dads 100hp VW makes me happy. Its not always about what you have but how you feel about something. Keep up the awesome work Rob!:-)

[@MXSESMYAGI]

I came here looking to check out how your Lincoln restoration was going, and I messed around and got knowledge dropped on me lol. You're the absolute best Rob!

[@businessstrategiesinsights8737]

I have a lot of respect for you--thanks for sharing!!

[@NicoAssaf]

Just what I needed to hear. Thanks, Rob, you're truly inspiring.

[@manogilissen]

Thank you for this video Rob. It may sound cliche but this does relate to me and it does really feel like the "older me" is talking to me. The problem I have when watching this video is that all of your advice sounds like common sense to me and I know I should follow it, but at the same time I am having a very hard time getting rid of the "overthinking" you mentioned. I find myself almost daily in a situation where i'm trying to schedule and plan my entire life ahead. Doing this in combination with the realist/pessimist I can be sometimes makes me only notice the negative aspects of what such a plan could do to my life. I then forget about the factors that made me want it in the first place and I end up being way less productive towards my goals than I could be when I wouldn't overthing everything so much. I am currently 18 years old, studying computer science in the Netherlands, having a drive for success because of my parents being poor and stupid, and I recognize almost every behaviour you mentioned in this video. I hope you keep doing these vlogs because they did make me realise that succes is a matter of time, and not only a matter of effort and pushing yourself to do hard work. Age also plays a factor and I think with the right mindset you will almost always encounter a point in your life when you find that one thing you've been looking for.

[@emillagergren6929]

Thank you so much Rob! As a 18-year old myself, I can see a lot in what you are saying. As you mentioned in the video, we think too much and so do I. I am also into computers, cars and chicks - but I have still no clue what to do. I will just have to feel it. Thanks again Rotary-Rob! Cold greetings from your Swedish friend!

[@Orignlcoolguy]

Well I appreciate the time you take to connect with your viewers. Self help videos, for lack of a better term, are always inspiring to me to be a better person and do more with my life. So before I leave you with a good bye as I leave to the gym. I want to thank you once again.

[@imyourutube]

The 'feel don't think' point really made sense to me, I constantly overanalyse, thanks Rob!

[@MeachPango]

6 years later and this advice is still rock solid. thank you rob you have made me dive into UTI to try ang dip my toes into the car industry. I have no clue if I want to machine parts or build performance engines, we'll just have to see when I get there :).

[@xxxLOYALTY24xxx]

wow you have no idea how much this just me wake up! great advice man I really needed this push and life advice.

[@bradw6363]

Rob, I just want to thank you so much for posting these types of videos. I've struggled with some of the same feelings ("why even bother", "gonna die anyway") those types, and it's true what you said about just feeling... I've gotten to the point now that i don't necessarily want to become the "richest" person alive, but instead just be well off enough to enjoy life and friends and hobbies (cars :P) Seriously though, thank you. You're always uplifting man, keep it up!

[@Fr3nChFrYy]

Thank you so much for this video. I don't know that it really told me anything new, just kind of reinforced what I already was thinking about. I know exactly how you feel with the whole thinking too much and panicking thing, I have the same problem. This was what I needed to hear. Great video

[@MusicoMexicano03]

Great video Rob, thank you for the refresher. I needed it. I'll be saving this video to remind myself at those times when I forget how to live a happy successful life.

[@JesusTorres-jg1ve]

Thank you for the words of wisdom, they really do inspire me to keep striving to be better in life thank you.

[@JoseRamirez-xs5lq]

I HOPE this gets to .. man I get those panic attacks some times thinking about how short life is.. I got this out of a book../ All paths have a end but there are only two paths in life the one with heart and the other with out..the one with will make a joyfully journey and will make one strong..the one with out will make one curs his life. The path without heat follows and destroys men to follow it is to follow nothing..the real question in life is " DOES THIS PATH HAVE A HEART?" As u know there are people who don't follow there heart and are miserable. .. you have helped me out alot just trying to return some back. Thanks rob

[@АлмазГабриеловичРомалиев]

I really appreciate your video, Rob. I know it's a video from a long time ago, but its content is still in effect, and it helps. Thank you for your thoughts and your words.

[@HeyJD123]

Thanks for the business talk. I, and many others, appreciate it.

[@0o_Slippy_o0]

Rob, you truly are an inspiration! Thank you!

[@UFOkrazykid]

A really nice feel good video. it's really nice to watch an inspirational video by someone who is successful and still has there humanity left. Most of are succeeders in this world have this god like complex and can care less of us middle class people. The inspiration and advice you give is beyond amazing. Its really teaching me a lot about myself that I never thought was there. Thank You rob!

[@Mpostor.]

Rob i really appreciate your videos like this! I love watching your speech/advice videos like this because you speak out of experience and you know what your talking. And its cool to see that you care about people you dont even know and havent even met and give them advice on many things and just life in general. Keep up all the good videos man! I also like how the money and the fame sort of say doesnt change you who you really are and you keep helping other people out.

[@MrAcon5237]

You make the best videos and most meaningful videos on youtube, I mean it thank you rob.

[@Saltytide2424]

Hey rob, Really liked what you said about the thoughts that one day we will all die and the depression sometimes associated with those thoughts. I've found that while I like cars, tech, and cool engineering, these things never really make me happy. Living in the moment and working hard in the present will be more fulfilling and will help your future become better as well.

[@deployingnoob1443]

Great video by the way this helped me a little and it's a good thing I see this now because I'm a junior in high school still wondering what I want to do. So I have decided to make a list and try out my ideas one by one until I find the right path. You're awesome Dahm!

[@jakeryba3845]

Wow Rob, this video is really insightful and pretty inspiring it made me think differently about the world and my life. You are a true perceiver !

[@ravesilly]

I really do love when you make videos like this. It gives me motivation to make something of my life. If that makes sense.
