I dont own a single magic card nor have I ever played the game. I dont even know how to play. I'm subscribed to this channel because of videos like this. The life and financial videos. Thank you Rudy.

[@Flarez94]

Same lol ive only played yugioh but this channel is so entertaining and educacional, it has helped with my own business

[@kosh9639]

Glad, I found this channel, too. great video. I have 1 card... Krosan Archer Foil-- worth $0.15.. xD. (nice looking card) Played it a few times.. fun game. I get the itch to get into MTG-- Every once in a while. I would say I'm 50%hobbyist/25% collector & 25% player.. I just can't see where the money is-- in it.. I guess that's part of the challenge. I thought a few times that a tiny hobby internet business could be fun.

[@GustavoBallin]

You don't know how to play the game? Then you and Rudy have that in common. Welcome!

[@panic5306]

I advise you to try to get into the game. it's really fun!

[@pyredynasty]

"Money is a reflection of an exchange for the time that you gave up, thats the only thing money represents to me. We all get angry when we lose money because we know put in time to get that money and we lost that time. Time is not replaceable, Money is." - Rudy

[@vito_beat]

this is a life lesson. This is pure gold, something to be put on stone: “ no matter how a good person you are, it’s simply put: i don’t trust people, because it’s not that the people are the problem, it’s the money that gets injected and placed between two people , that money in the capital that gets wedged between the parties which causes the spread, the splits, the damage, the cracks, in the foundation to be formed” Rudy, 2019. Thank you Rudy for your wisdom

[@yellowpitch1840]

[@Cosper79]

Rudy this is one of the top 5 videos you have ever done.

[@buk6708]

He has s9me golden ones. A few rambling videos in 17, his vault series and some financial advice videos are great. Rudy could go back in finance probably.

I always figured Rudy worked alone because taco money goes 2x as far if you cut out the other guy.

By working alone, Rudy avoids having to share the supreme chalupas, and he ensures there are no witnesses when he deletes box opening videos that are just too good.

[@chaferraro]

Sit down , kids: "School is in session." WHAT. A. VIDEO. Take my like, sir!

[@GeekandGlory]

When I started my own convention, I started it with my best friend. My parents warned me to never go into business with a partner (they were self employed for 25+ years). I didn't listen. I was at least smart enough to listen to my mother and write up a contract between my friend and I that has a clause that either one of us could pull out at any point no questions asked. It eventually came down to me doing all the work and my friend resenting the contact and the fact that I told him to pull some weight. So he pulled out, I said that is what the contract was four but ultimately it did spoil our friendship and I ended up running the business myself but I got to keep the profits. So it is true, DO NOT HAVE PARTNERS. Now I will admit, I do have wonderful parents and a wonderful family who did believe in me and did help me by sacrificing their time to help work my events so I could be successful I was able to run my business long enough to get out of debt. But even then, my mother's words of wisdom were and still are don't have a business unless you can run it yourself by yourself.

Facts

[@kate7238]

I definitely agree on forcing yourself through rough paths to get back on track. For anyone in debt, take Rudy's words to heart. Some people may see it as rude or whatever, but to get out of debt, most people have to work harder than they could ever imagine they could to get out of it. I've been there. Worked so many jobs, regularly getting free coffee at my bank while I "checked my account" everyday, etc. Getting into debt is easy, which is why getting out is hard, and it's fair. But once you get there, it's worth it. The day you make your last payment on a loan/debt, best days.

[@WhosTurnIsIt]

One thing to take away from making that last payment on a vehicle, take care of your vehicle. Do the scheduled maintenances, rotate your tires, change the oil and if something is wrong, bring it in to get it fixed. It will save you more money in the long run versus buying a new vehicle. Trust me, I didn't take care of my last vehicle and it didn't even get past 80k. I had to get a new vehicle and sacrificed all my savings. Be responsible with what you have and take better care of it no matter what it is.

[@kosh9639]

@@WhosTurnIsIt Cars are cheap... Keeping them on the road is expensive.. And they're designed to break; if, not properly maintenance.

[@justanothergameroz]

I know this comment is really late but you know, living in Australia, I opened my store putting everything into it. I started from zero, with personal collections and about 5,000 dollars. Over the last 9 months in doing it, I've grown quite well and still growing each and every month. It was down right scary, not knowing what to expect, I live in a country town with 3,000 people and my online store is still growing and so much to still add. I work day and night and have friends who help. I am in no way a success story but I am growing which is the upside. Having experienced the down right lows, I can say that Rudy is right, if you want to do something like this, having 150k and not having partners is really the way you should go about it. I wish I had the money but grew up the first 21 years of my life in hospital and really didn't have much family help but I am proud of where I am. Watching your videos and listening to your past, your highs, your lows, you've been a real inspiration Rudy in me trying to make it for myself. I would not recommend doing what I did even though I succeeded, I am damn lucky and still have a LOOOOOOOONG way to go. Thanks Rudy for your hard work, for the info you provide to your viewers like myself and congratulations on succeeding in creating such a large TCG Business. I sell a lot to kids with Autism and kids from poorer families and run events here, I hope someday I can become in Australia as big as you are in USA. All the best to you in the future mate and thanks again!

[@houseis]

Hows things going over the ditch mate?

[@rememberussliberty1822]

Rudy is 100% right, I have a dock repair/ remodling business. I work alone because i dont trust anyone..alot of the time my customers are very wealthy and if i hired someone and they were to steal something my reputation would be ruined..rather just work alone...on a side note a few years ago when i was just starting out I had a big contractor offer me $50K to split my business 50/50 with him basically he wanted to be a silent partner..it was tempting at the time because I was small..but I ended up declining his offer..glad I did because he ended up being a scuzbag. Rudy is also right about having a side hustle I flip cars in my spare time. I will buy a nice car with low miles with a blown headgasket etc and rebuild the engine and sell it..pretty profitable..I like Rudy, I have never played MTG but I watch his channel because he is business savy and a funny guy..

[@sethhale8828]

Truth that Rudy never played! Jk for serious. But as an entrepreneur, it's the truth

[@abelincoln1094]

I also have my own operation... let me tell you, theres only 1 person you can count on 100% of the time. Thats you. Furthermore...When the cats away the mice play... Go all in, or don't even have your own. But partnerships are very very hard... a lot harder than going alone.

This is my first comment after years of watching you. This is, by far, the best video you have ever made. I'm a businessman too and some of these things happened to me and to my family. Lots of good lessons here. Thanks, man.

[@BPSCustoms]

The back half of this video rings so true and it’s exactly what my mom used to tell me when I was young and stupid. As always, people with life experience tend to be correct when they espouse this kind of advice. It would behoove anyone under the age of 25 to pay really close attention. Hustle while you can, make smart financial decisions, build good credit while it’s easy to do so, and start putting together a proper foundation for your successful future. Good shit Rudy.

[@legoboy-ox2kx]

Same thing happened to my mother. She partnered with somebody else to start a medical practice and put 15K of her own money into it. The other person decided she didn't want to be in a partnership anymore, kicked her out of the practice and refused to give her money back. One lawsuit and multiple court appearances later she's finally getting some of it back.

[@josemontero3939]

Hi Rudy. Usually I just see your vids and find them good, but this one is GREAT. I have given similar advice to younger people, to own their finances and their decisions. I broke my hobby store after 3 years of killing my competition and still broke it and had all those things, stealing employees, greedy landlords, bickering tournament players, corruption and at last I quit because never had my wife support. Went back to corporate life and I'm doing great, but was a humbling, painful experience. This is great advice to any with the courage to hear it, without the cockiness of i'll do it better and the insight to actually do it better.
