beliefs that keep you broke (and how to fix them)
1247 segments
Hello again, friends and family. Today
I'm going to be talking about how to
beat the mental game of drop shipping
because drop shipping honestly is the
easiest way you can make your first
million online. And I stand by it. Hold
me to it. And a lot of the reason people
can't succeed is because they have such
a [ __ ] mental. And I promise you guys,
if you can break that mental, success is
inevitable. Like drop shipping and all
business honestly is just having a good
mentality and realizing that business is
completely different than school work
and all that stuff. So, I want you guys
to realize that I'm literally living
proof of this. 2023, 70 [ __ ] cents in
my bank account. I remember I was
literally at the mall with my friend and
I was buying my gorilla bag and I had
like $100 or something and I pretty much
drained my bank account to $1.70 and I
went to McDonald's and bought myself a
[ __ ] Sprite and I had this amount
left. And I remember I literally
uploaded a sponsored gambling video on
my this this channel right here. I
literally uploaded on this channel just
to make some money cuz I had nothing
left. And I use that money to fund my
ecom journey. I never really show people
this and it's literally privated on my
channel right now. But this is how bad I
was in the trenches, bro. And where did
that lead me? New store right here. 0
to2 million in a month. Lambo Huracan.
This is my store that I exited um a
while ago. 3 million in sales, over a
million in profit. This is a different
store than the one I showed here, by the
way. But million in profit. And I want
you guys to also watch this video just
to show you guys like I promise you like
I literally was in the trenches like
less than two years ago. And today is
December 31st, 3:00 in the morning, the
day before 2024.
I don't know if you guys can see, but
right there, as you can see, it's 3:00
in the morning. But um yeah, so I just
ordered my hopefully winning product
that I'll be testing going into 2024.
And I'll be running this on Tik Tok and
Facebook. So, I'm just going to be
documenting my progress, and I hope that
this video will make it onto my YouTube
channel that I'll be starting in the
future where I'm just documenting my
progress. So, if you guys see this, that
means I made it.
>> All right. Um, yeah. So, pretty much,
guys, I was in the [ __ ] trenches and
I realized, you know what? It's all
mentality. And I developed a certain
mentality, and I've learned through
trial and error of what works. And
literally seeing people right now in my
YouTube videos, I kind of realized that
this is the biggest [ __ ] problem
people are struggling with. So, I'm
going to tell you guys how to actually
beat it and how to actually [ __ ]
speak getting rich into existence. Let's
start with reason number one. Fear kills
momentum. So, this is like the biggest
thing I see with people. They realize
that business is [ __ ] scary and they
give up. So, what does that mean?
They'll start with a certain amount of
money in their bank account and they'll
start testing products, right? They
might lose $100 on a product test. Maybe
this one they lost 150. They made back
$50 in revenue. They test another
product, lost 300. maybe made back a
100. And then this one they lost 500,
maybe made back like 50 bucks. This one
they lost another 500. And they're like,
"Gez, I'm giving up. I'm done." So this
fear right here is going to kill all
your momentum. And you guys have to
realize that these losses, right? Minus
100, - 150, - 300, - 500, - 500. This is
nothing compared to what you can
actually make with ecom. Ecom is
exponential growth. And I'm not going to
talk too much about how to fix this just
yet because I want to go through every
single reason first, then I'll talk
about it. But the reason people think
this way is just cuz they see all these
failures with little return, right? You
spend 100, 150, you get back 50, spend
300, get back a 100red, spend 500, get
back $50. This is kind of what happens
when you're testing products. And
because the negatives are much bigger
than the positives, they get scared and
they give up because they don't know
when it's going to end. They get the
uncertainty. That uncertainty paired
with these little losses right here,
that creates fear. And what is that fear
kill? That fear kills the momentum that
you could have had with a winner. And
that's the biggest problem I see. People
will just get scared of spending this
money and they'll either end up giving
up or they'll just like completely stall
their progress and just research YouTube
videos for the next six months. And you
guys, some of you guys are justified,
right? You might not have that much
money in your bank account. You might be
kind of scared. You might have pressure
from your parents and stuff. That's
okay. But you guys have to realize that
everyone goes through this journey when
you go into business. There's no
guaranteed output. So these failures,
right, this is to be expected when you
test products. Like if you if it was
that easy to make money, everyone would
be doing business. But you guys have to
learn from each of these failures right
here. You you guys just can't keep doing
the same thing over and over again. You
guys have to make sure that you're
getting some positive out of it. And
that positive is never going to be your
revenue, right? Unless you landed on a
winner, of course. But each time you
fail these tests and you get back such
little return, it's a lot more valuable
than you think because you're actually
learning from each of those failures.
And these learnings will basically allow
you to get that momentum to succeed. and
get a winning product. And another thing
you guys have to realize is all these
little losses, right? What does this add
to? Negative -250gative 550 negative
1.5. Basically, at this point, you've
lost $1,500.
You guys have to realize you can get a
job. You can save up. It's not the
[ __ ] end of the world. But when you
do land on that first winning product,
bro, you could literally make 100K that
first month off that winner I showed you
guys that did a million profit. I made
well over six figures in that first
month. And it's really important that
you don't let this fear kill the
momentum that you could have with the
winner. And the only way to do this is
to realize that, hey, this is all
normal. This is all a part of running a
business. The losses right here are
nothing in terms of what I could make.
And I'm going to learn from each loss so
that I don't let this pattern continue
to go on and on and on. I'm going to
talk more about how to actually like
break past this fear in a little bit.
But let's go on to the next reason.
Reason number two why people [ __ ]
suck at drop shipping and have a
shipment mental. they get in analysis
paralysis. Analysis paralysis is
basically where you're just stuck in a
cycle of being scared and trying to
perfect everything before actually
taking action. All this stems from fear.
What does this fear stem from? The same
thing I talked about right here. Losing
this moneyus - 100 - 150 - 300. Losing
that money creates fear which creates
analysis paralysis. And like I said
guys, when this happens, you're just
gonna spend 20 years to find a product
and you're going to keep on looking for
that perfect product and you're
eventually test nothing and have wasted
all your time. And all this stems from
fear. So people who get stuck in this
analysis paralysis cycle, they are the
ones who usually just end up doing
nothing for the rest of their lives and
just sit watching 20 million different
drop shipping YouTubers and try to find
the perfect way to go about things.
Instead of doing that, you guys have to
learn as you go. Like I said in this
graph right here, instead of being stuck
in analysis paralysis, you guys have to
learn as you're testing. So, sure, you
lost $250 on this product test. Boom.
Maybe here you learned, okay, um I'm not
going to test saturated products, right?
And then, okay, you spent another $300,
whatever. Maybe right here you learned,
okay, my offer and my website has to be
good. Like, I have to have good product
pictures, all that stuff. Okay, and then
you spent another thousand here and you
learned, okay, you know what? I'm going
to use Calo data for product test. This
is what's going to help me the most. If
you're just learning as you're going
rather than looking for these points,
these little pointers on YouTube, right?
If you're just spending all your time
looking to learn these things through
YouTube videos, you're never going to
actually learn yourself and learn what
actually works in real time. And that's
the problem with being stuck in analysis
process because drop shipping is all
speed. It's all being fast. If you're
not fast enough to winning product,
someone else is going is going to come
take it and win the auction on Facebook
ads. If you're not fast, you're never
going to find a winner cuz you're going
to potentially stumble upon a winner.
You're going to be like, "Oh, is this
good? Let me go see what Jordan Brown
has to say or whatever the [ __ ] his name
is. Jordan Bound." Like, if you guys get
stuck in analyzing, you're going to
spend couple days, even weeks, trying to
find the perfect way to do things. And
by the time you do that, I'm going to
come in and [ __ ] run that product and
make a million dollars with it. So
that's why it's really important to
learn as you go rather than being stuck
in the cycle of learning before you
actually start. I'm not saying it's bad
to, you know, do your due diligence,
learn from YouTubers like me and stuff,
but there's only so much learning you
can [ __ ] do. If you know what makes a
half decent product, you know how to
make a site, you know how to upload ads
and do media buying, you're good. All
that stuff should literally take like a
couple weeks of learning. You don't need
anything more than that. A lot of people
will get stuck on like, "Oh, but this
guy says to run ads this way, and this
guy says to run ads this way, but this
guy says this product research is
better." Bro, shut up. Find a product.
All these methods are all they all work
for different people. It doesn't [ __ ]
matter, okay? Try everything and learn
as you go. Next thing, losing trust in
yourself. This one's really, really big,
guys. Your mind is literally a program.
Let's say you have John, right? This guy
is a Hall of Famer. NGMI. NGMI is a term
that I love. It stands for not going to
make it. And these NGMIs, they are the
ones that have lost all trust in
themselves. They have mentally
masturbated themselves beyond a point of
no return. It's all mental masturbation.
This is where all this stems from. So
again, let's say we have John the NGMI.
Let's say on January 1st, right, 1-1,
he's like, I'm going to do ecom, right?
And he sets a goal for himself. He says,
"By tomorrow on 1-2,
I'm going to launch a store." Right?
That's his goal. He tells himself this.
But in reality, what does he do?
Nothing.
Nothing happens. And he's like, "You
know what? I'm tired. I don't want to
work today. I'm going to do it tomorrow.
Tomorrow comes, nothing. But but my
girlfriend asked to go on a date and my
friends wanted to hang out with me. I'm
going to do it tomorrow." 1-4 comes.
What do you expect? Nothing.
this guy is cooked. Okay, this is an
extreme example, but I'm just doing this
to illustrate the point. When you tell
yourself you're going to do something,
but you don't do it, you're going to
continue that pattern over and over
again. You can kind of see it with
everyday life with people working a job.
Your mind is literally a program. They
wake up, they go to work every day
consistently, show up 9 to5, come home,
make dinner, jerk off, go to sleep. It's
the same cycle. Their mind is used to
it. Every day they sleep, they know
they're going to wake up and work. It's
the same thing like John here. He told
himself he's going to launch a store. He
did nothing. And now his mind is
conditioned. Okay. When I tell myself
something, I'm never going to do it. So
what does he do when he does nothing on
the 2nd of January? He tells himself, he
mentally masturbates and he's like, "You
know what? The next day I'm going to do
it." The next day comes, he does nothing
and he mentally masturbates again. And
he's like, "Okay, you know what? On the
fourth, I'm going to do it. Fourth
comes, nothing." He conditions his mind
to believe that, "Hey, when I tell
myself something, I'm never going to do
it." And what happens? He'll get he'll
have no motivation. He'll be a [ __ ]
loser. And then the 3:00 a.m. motivation
hits and he's like, "I'm going to do
it." And he feels happy, but his mind
knows that deep down he's not going to
do it. And the next day comes, the
laziness kicks in. The comfort kicks in.
He's like, "You know what? I'm not going
to do it. You know what? I'm actually
going to do it tomorrow." And then he
feels happy at the idea of actually
doing something. And tomorrow comes and
nothing happens. You see the pattern,
guys? These people who lose trust in
themselves, they think to themselves,
"I'm going to do it." They get happy at
that thought, but they never actually do
something. And their mind is literally
trained to just think that they're going
to do something. They get dopamine from
that thought, and they just never do it.
And that cycle repeats over and over
again. And I'm really going to talk
about this for a while just so you guys
actually understand because it's so
important. Um, in a real life example of
what I see with people in my real life
that I try to put on to ecom, um, let's
just call him John. Again, I'm not going
to talk about this example cuz this is
kind of an extreme, but let's say
January 1st comes and he's like, I'm
going to start ecom today and by
tomorrow I'm going to have a store
launched. Tomorrow comes, what does he
do? He only finds the product and he's
like, okay, you know what? I'm going to
on tomorrow on the third I'm going to
launch the store. I found the product
and I'm going to launch the store. The
third comes, tomorrow comes. All he does
is he makes the website.
Okay. Okay. I made the website. I was
tired. [ __ ] Okay. tomorrow, no matter
what, I'm going to launch everything.
Tomorrow comes, all he does is make the
ads and then he ends up launching it on
the 5th. Sure, this isn't bad, right?
But the point is on the first he told
himself by the second he's going to
launch it. But what happened in reality?
He kept dragging it on and it took him 4
days to actually do what he said he was
going to do in one day. This is the
pattern I'm talking about. Sure, this
timeline isn't bad, but John mentally
masturbated himself and told him he's
going to do something and he didn't. And
this whole cycle is just going to repeat
because now his mind has lost all trust
in himself and his mind is programmed to
just delay everything that he says he's
going to do and he's never going to
succeed. That's why taking action is
super important. And I'm going to talk
more about how to fix this and reprogram
your mind later on in the video. Okay,
great Subie, you just yapped a [ __ ] ton.
How do I actually fix my cooked brain?
The answer is simple. Think logically.
Do not think emotionally. No emotions at
all. This graph honestly is really,
really [ __ ] good. And I want you guys
to pay attention to this right now
because you guys need to get used to
what is called the valley of
disappointment. So you see this line
right here? This is what you expect.
It's a linear line. Why is this what you
expect? School,
work. Think about it, right? In terms of
school, you start in elementary, right?
And from elementary or like preschool,
whatever, it's a straight linear lineup.
You have middle school, right? You have
high school, then you have college.
It's a straight linear lineup. You know,
you're going to go through first,
second, third, fourth, fifth grade,
you're going to be at middle school.
Then you're going to go through sixth,
7th, 8th grade. You know, you're going
to be at high school. And then after
high school, you know, you may or may
not be a college depending on what you
want to do. It's all a linear line. It's
predictable. Even within these like
branches of school, right? Let's say
you're in high school, you know, you
have a test this Friday, you know, if
you study for a couple hours a day, all
you have to do is regurgitate what you
studied and you'll do good. It's
predictable. You know what you have
coming. You have everything laid out for
you. Same thing with work, right? You
work every day. Let's say it's 9:00 a.m.
You work till 5:00 p.m. every day and
you make maybe what, like 500 bucks. 100
to 500 bucks. depending on what you do.
It's all predictable. You do what you're
told and you make that money. But
business is not like that. Society
trains you to just do what you're told
so that your whole expectations in life
is linear. If you do what you're told,
obviously you're going to get what you
expect, right? Because you're following
directions like you do in school and you
do in work. But in business, it's not
like that. You're not doing what
anybody's telling you to do. You're on
your own. So that's why this value of
disappointment exists because when you
go into business, you might apply the
same frameworks that you're taught in
school or work, right? To regurgitate,
to do what you're told, and you'll find
success. But in business, right, you're
on your own. So you're going to have so
many ups and downs. Kind of like what I
was talking about up here. Um, you're
going to have so many ups and downs
right here. It's not like a straight,
okay, I'm going to test three products
and I'm going to 100% succeed. No, it's
not that [ __ ] easy. Think logically,
guys. If it was that [ __ ] easy, why
is school and work so popular? Again,
I'm not [ __ ] on school or work, but
I'm just telling you if you want to
succeed in business, which is pro which
is probably why you're watching this
video. You guys have to realize that
school and work is making you to expect
things to be handed to you when in
reality it's not. So, you guys need to
use your brain and realize that in
business there's going to be so many ups
and downs and you can't predict it. And
once you get over that fear, right,
that's how you get over the fear of the
unknown, the fear of losing money.
That's literally how you get over it.
You realize that if you think logically,
right, school and work trains you to
think a certain way, but that's not how
business is. And once you realize that
is a brutal reality of life, it becomes
a lot easier to endure those losses.
When you lose the money here and you
lose more and more and you're like,
[ __ ] [ __ ] like why, like why is this
not working? You realize, okay, this is
all a part of the process. This is a
valley of disappointment. And
eventually, you're gonna make a [ __ ] ton
of money online. And you'll realize that
your starting point and your end point
are low and high. And you'll realize
that even though you had all these lows,
these ups and downs, your end result is
much higher than your starting point.
Same thing as with school, right? Sure,
at the start of elementary school, you
might be a [ __ ] noob, but when you go
to college, right, it's, you know,
you're smart, you're making money, you
have a degree and all this stuff, but
that journey was linear. The journey in
business here is not linear. But when
you do succeed for your first time,
you'll realize that at the end result,
you'll always be better than where you
were at the start. And that's why people
who have already succeeded realize this.
They're not scared to spend money.
They're not scared to take risks because
they realize that these ups and downs
are always going to exist. And as long
as you keep on trying and you keep on
learning, you're going to finish at a
higher point than when you started, no
matter what. But the problem is people
they'll stop. They'll stop right here.
They might stop right here. And they
won't ever get to the point where they
realize that no matter what you will
succeed as long as you keep on trying.
They think that business is like school
where within two months you have to
succeed otherwise it's over. No, it's
not like school. You don't have a test
coming this Friday that you can study
for and guarantee do good. You have
products to test and you never know when
you'll hit that winner. But if you keep
on trying and get through this valley of
disappointment, you will succeed. So
breaking through that barrier is what's
going to ultimately let you overcome
that fear. And again, that all just
comes from realizing that if it was that
easy, people wouldn't go to school or
work. People don't realize this, so they
just do what's easy for them mentally.
They just do what they're told in school
and jobs and stuff and never actually
break past it because they realize that
they can't handle the fear of the
uncertainty. But once you realize that
that uncertainty really doesn't [ __ ]
matter, like if you keep on trying, that
uncertainty will eventually result in
success. Once you realize that it's all
a mental game, you will be able to
succeed. Next, you need to find the
bigger reason for why you actually want
to work and make money and eventually
get rich. So, I think if your reason to
get rich is buying Lambos and [ __ ]
getting money and making millions of
dollars, that's not that's too surface
level. You need a bigger reason. And you
can see right here, 2024, when I first
started, I was like, you know what? Um,
I'm in school and I hate it. I can't
imagine living this lifestyle. I made
money doing YouTube videos back in 2022
because if you guys didn't know, I ran a
Valerant channel. Um, it having that
success originally at first and then
suddenly falling off and going to school
that made me hate my [ __ ] life. I was
miserable with my routine. I knew I
couldn't listen to other people. Even in
high school, right, I was a 4.8 GPA
student, but when I got to college and
the brutal reality hit me, I was like,
"Fuck, I can't listen to my teachers. I
can't do this. I've already experienced
making money online. I can't do it." So,
for me, it was misery. That's what was
my bigger reason. I was miserable with
my life and I hated everything. That
hate, that was my why. Instead of
surface level reasons like this, like,
oh yeah, I want to buy a super car. I
want to have a million dollars. You guys
have to think, okay, why do I want this?
Is it family? Is it your situation,
right? Like me where I was in college,
you know, what is your reason? You guys
need to figure out the emotion behind
why you want to get rich. And why is
that important? You may ask. Simple.
Let's say you are like, "Okay, I want to
get rich. I want to buy Lambo." And you
don't put any deeper thought behind it.
What's gonna happen is you're gonna have
John, right? The NGMI. He's gonna be
like, "Hey, bro. Let's go to the party
and get lit, bro." Or you might have
your GF who's like, "Let's go to the
movies." Um,
these things aren't bad, guys. But I'm
just telling you. And let's say these
guys, John or your girlfriend, whatever,
tells you, "Hey, come out. Come out.
Don't work." Blah, blah, blah. But you
have work that needs to be done. you're
a broke loser and you need to do work
and these guys come into your life
telling you, "No, no, no. Just come hang
out. Have fun. You're only young once."
If your reason is something so
superficial like buying a Lamborghini or
wanting to buy a big house with a
million dollars, those reasons are not
emotional enough for you to actually
say, "No, John, I'm not going to this
party." Or, "No, my girlfriend, I can't
watch movies today. We'll watch
tomorrow. I'm gonna do work instead."
If you have a surface level reason, your
emotion that you have, you you won't
feel that. You're just going to be like,
"Okay, you know what? Whatever. I don't
care. Like, I'm just going to do it
tomorrow." You're going to put it aside.
But when you have hatred, when you have
emotion towards your reason for getting
rich, you're going to see these moments
in your life when people are coming and
coming and asking you to hang out.
You're going to feel those emotions in
your heart and you'll be like, "No,
there's a reason why I want to get
rich." You're going to feel that hatred.
You're going to feel enraged and you're
going to be like, "No, John, I'm not
going. No, girlfriend. I'm not going."
So, you need to find like a deeper
reason. And I'll give you guys an honest
example of this. One of the students
that I had, um, I'm not going to name
drop, but his father passed away, God
forbid, and he told me, "I'm going to do
it for him." Imagine losing your [ __ ]
father and John comes to you and he's
like, "Hey, bro, let's get lit." Bro,
you have the most traumatic incident in
your life. You're going to want to
succeed and come out on top. You're
going to have so much emotion. and he
went and printed seven figures in the
next couple months and cut out all
distractions. That's why all the people
I see succeed around myself, even my my
own success, it all stems from hatred.
So, you guys really need to find a deep
reason for why you want to succeed
because that's going to make staying
disciplined a lot easier. And again, if
it's not apparent to you, maybe you are
someone who only wants Lambos and you
want money, think why. Think of the
freedom. Think about what's think about
why you actually want it. So every time
you have distractions in your life,
you're able to cut them out. Because if
you're just not actually serious about
getting rich and you're just like,
"Okay, I want to get rich quick scheme."
These distractions in your life are
going to consume your life and you're
never going to actually make progress.
Next thing, this is also really, really
good. Thinking of the end goal and not
the work in itself. So when you actually
cut out those distractions and you put
aside what's going to give you that
instant gratification, right? Cuz
hanging out John or hanging out with
your girlfriend, that's going to give
you that instant dopamine hit. When you
put that aside and you're like, "Fuck,
I'm going to sit on the computer. I'm
have to scroll through product research.
I'm going have to make a [ __ ]
website. I'm have to launch [ __ ]
ads." It sounds so brutal, right? Cuz
you have option one, right? Option one
is you get lit and you have a good time
and you get that insta. Option two,
you find a product, you make a store,
you make the ads, you launch your ads.
This seems really tedious. This seems
like a long journey. If I didn't even
tell you anything about your end goal
and I I told you you have two options.
You can either have fun or you can work
for 4 hours. If I told this to you
without ever mentioning what the work
was for, what anything was for, and I
just told you which one would you pick,
you'd probably pick this. But think
about what you're doing this work for.
You're doing this whatever for whatever
your end goal may be. I know I just said
um don't think about superficial things,
but for me um I've always wanted a
[ __ ] Lambo because I've been a car
guy. And these flashy things are
sometimes good to think about cuz they
give you that instant dopamine rush. And
for me, cars have always been big, like
I said, and I've always wanted a
Huracan. And it's kind of like a It's
kind of cool looking at this cuz like I
literally had a Huracan now. Um and this
is like my biggest goal. But anyways,
that aside, um I wanted to get rich cuz
one of the biggest reasons was to drive
cars and like experience Lambos and like
V10s, V12s and all that stuff. But um
anytime I thought of this work, right, I
didn't think about it as, oh [ __ ] I
have to do all this tedious work. What I
thought about it was I'm one step closer
to getting this [ __ ] Lambo. So,
anytime you say no to John or your
girlfriend or whatever this stuff to
work, right, you're going to instead of
thinking, "Okay, I have to do all these
things one by one, um, all these tedious
tasks," you're going to think, "Okay,
I'm going to get a [ __ ] Lambo." And
you're literally going to envision
yourself whipping that [ __ ] And you
guys need to speak this [ __ ] into
existence. Cuz when you think about this
stuff, think about your end goal 24/7,
all this work doesn't feel tedious
anymore cuz you're thinking, "Fuck, I'm
one step closer. I'm one step closer."
And the more you do this, the easier it
is because once you get a taste of this,
once you get a taste of like thinking
about that end goal and actually doing
the work and you experience that high of
achieving that goal, you'll realize that
anything you speak into existence paired
with work is inevitable. Like you're
going to achieve it. That's why it's
really important to just approach the
work with, okay, I'm not just making a
store. I'm not just finding products.
I'm ultimately achieving my end goal.
I'm ultimately achieving my end life.
And you're going to be thinking about
this [ __ ] as you're working. Let's say
you're making a pro. Let's say you're
making a product list and you're making
the store and at this point you're like,
"Fuck, I want to give up. This is too
much work." I want you to think about
the end goal and envision your [ __ ]
life and realize that you're working
towards that end goal as we speak. And
all these individual steps are going to
get you there. When you think about it
as you're working, it's a lot easier and
it's not as tedious. And this has been
such a game changer for me even now to
just get my work done even when I don't
want to do it. Don't think of it as
work. Think of it as achieving your
dream life and picture it in your head.
Next, very important, start with the
small wins to build trust in yourself.
Like we talked about up here, your mind
is a program, right? John programmed
himself to think that every time he does
something, he's going to fail. So, he
ends up never actually doing anything
and he gives up. So, how do you actually
not be like John? How do you actually
reset and reprogram your mind?
What you need to do is start with small
wins. So, like I said, right, we have
John who wanted to start ecom, right?
And he ultimately jerked off for a week
and did nothing. And he kept telling
himself every day, I'm going to do
something. I'm going to do something.
And he eventually put it off. And now
it's been a week and he's done nothing.
His mind is utterly destroyed. Instead,
what he needs to do is learn to build
that trust again. He told himself he's
going to launch a store and he never
did. So instead of telling himself
you're going to launch a store, you're
going to start easier. So what John
should do is on day one where he said
he's going to start ecom, he should just
find products. Build a list of products.
That's what he should tell himself to
do. If your mind is [ __ ] the first
thing to do to overcome it is to realize
it's [ __ ] and to realize you're weak.
When you do that, you realize that,
okay, I have to start smaller. Rather
than telling myself, I'm going to build
a store and launch everything in the
first day, tell yourself you're going to
do one step at a time. So, day one, John
is going to tell himself he's going to
build a list of products. He does that.
Good. Day two, he tells himself he's
going to make the store, and that's it.
Done. Day three, he tells himself he's
going to make the ads. Done.
Day four comes, he does the launch and
boom, he's done. Does this look familiar
to you guys?
Right here. Right, John did the exact
same thing, but he lost trust in
himself. You might be wondering why.
Because even though he did those exact
same steps that I just told you to do,
the problem is he told himself he's
going to launch it within one day. But
the difference is within here he told
himself he's going to launch within four
days and he did it. He did what he said
what he was going to do even though it's
a little bit slow and you can do all
these things in one day. He started
small and he told himself by the 4th by
January 4th I'm going to launch a store
and he did it.
Whereas John here, he told himself by
January 2nd he's going to launch, but he
ended up pushing it off and delaying it
for three additional days and he ended
up doing it on the fifth. It's not about
how much work you do. It's about trust
being built based on what you say you're
going to do. So if your mind is [ __ ]
your first step is to realize it's
[ __ ] and start small. Sure, like I
said, you could do all this within one
day, but that doesn't matter. That's not
what important.
What's important is you tell yourself
something you can do and you do it. And
if your mind is [ __ ] start small. Be
realistic. Let's say you successfully do
this. Now, instead of being gigafucked,
your mind is just a little bit [ __ ]
because you've done this. You've done
these smaller wins. Now, you have a
little bit of trust. Then, what John
should do next is move a little quicker.
Okay. One-1, I'm going to finalize a
product. That's what he does. He does
it. One-2, I'm going to have store and
ads done. Boom. He does it 1-3. January
3rd, he launches. Now, he started off
small, right? Right here. He started off
small and now he's able to set bigger
tasks. He's able to move quicker. And
that's cuz he's built a little bit more
trust by starting with small wins. And
eventually, he'll get to a point where
he can just launch a store in a day. I
hope you guys see what I'm saying here.
If your mind is [ __ ] and you lost that
trust in yourself, you guys need to
start with small wins. Like giving you a
more general example in school when you
tell yourself I'm going to do my
homework tonight and you don't do it and
you end up procrastinating over and over
again. Your teachers have probably told
you that like once you start
procrastinating it's hard to stop. It's
the same thing here. When you say you're
going to do your homework and you don't,
it's the same as saying you're going to
launch a store and you don't. That's why
I said it's important to start small.
And if you guys are at a point where you
can't even do this, then think of
something even smaller. It's not
something to be ashamed of, but just
realize what your mind is capable of and
be realistic and set those goals and get
them done. Don't just set huge goals off
the rip because your mind is not going
to have trust. Start small. Set these
small goals. Build the trust and
eventually you'll be at a point where
you can speak everything you say into
existence. Next, surround yourself with
winners. This is super important. Your
environment is your net worth. Your
environment is so [ __ ] important. And
I had to learn this the hard way in
college. There's a saying, right? If a
million if a millionaire hangs out with
a bunch of brokies, he's going to be a
brokie. If a brokie hangs around with a
bunch of millionaires, he's going to be
a millionaire. So, when I was in
college, all my friends, they smoke,
they drink, they partied every weekend,
they racked up their body cam, they're
doing stupid [ __ ] I cut them off. And
when I started my ecom journey, I was
like, you know what, bro? I'm just going
to lock in. And I didn't at that time, I
didn't really have any winners around
me, but I was like, you know what?
Rather than surrounding myself with
winners, at the bare minimum, what I can
do is just cut them off. And that itself
improved my environment. It made my it
made my environment way better. And what
that did for me was it cut out all
distractions. You know, at that time,
obviously, your discipline, a lot of you
guys, your discipline isn't going to be
perfect. So, you need to make life
easier for you. You need to surround
yourself with people that are good for
you. If you can't, you need to cut them
off. That's even more important,
honestly, than surrounding yourself with
winners. You need to cut off all
distractions because, like I said, your
environment is your net worth. And if
you have people who are going to
distract you, you know, on days where
you're like, "Fuck, like, I'm so tired.
I don't want to do the work." They're
going to come in and set you astray from
your goals. So instead, you cut them off
and you surround yourself with winners.
So ideally, right, if you have people
around you who are doing good things,
working on their businesses, surround
yourself with them. If you don't have
them, you know, maybe you can join
Discords, network with ecom people,
maybe you can just listen to podcasts
while you're working where you're
hearing about people sharing their
successes. That could be surrounding
yourself with winners. It doesn't
necessarily have to be physical. You can
surround yourself online, like I said,
through Discords, listening to podcasts,
listening to people's stories about how
they succeeded. It's important you pair
those things with work. Think about it,
right? Let's say you're demotivated one
day and you listen to a podcast or you
hear stories of people succeeding or you
see a Discord community where people are
sharing their wins. You're going to feel
that fuel like, "Fuck, these guys are
winning. Why can't I?" That's why your
environment is so important. But like I
said earlier, if your environment is
[ __ ] and you're demotivated, you're just
going to fall into that. The human mind
loves temptations. Think about why
people love to eat donuts and all this
[ __ ] They love instant gratification.
Sitting and making a store for five
hours is not instant gratification.
That's delayed gratification. Instant
gratification is going out drinking,
eating junk food, and like hanging out
with your friends. That's why it's
important that you don't give in to
those instant gratifications that are
caused by your environment. Instead, you
surround yourself with winners and learn
how to practice delayed gratification.
Literally, these are a couple of my
students I taught um ecom within two
months, right? Just by being around me,
surrounding themselves with winners.
This guy did 300K in the first two
months of starting his ecom journey.
This guy literally sent me his product
list and then two months later of just
calling me and like talking to me. 300K.
Same thing here. A month later, this guy
hit his first 6K day. This is why it's
super important to surround yourself
with winners and be around with people
who are succeeding because it'll rub off
on you subconsciously. And you'll be
able to work 20 times harder than
surrounding yourself with [ __ ]
losers. If you surround yourself with
people like this, bro, like I said,
they're just going to distract you.
You're going to fall into temptations.
And it's so important that you guys have
people who push you to be better every
[ __ ] day. The last thing you guys
have to gify your life. This is super
important. And you guys probably have
seen my video talking about like if
you've played video games, you're going
to be rich. I think that was the title.
But if you guys played, if you guys have
played games, you'll understand what I'm
saying. If you don't, pay attention to
this. So, this is Valerant. Um, I don't
know if you guys play Valerant. You guys
might have played League of Legends,
COD, or any of that [ __ ] But we all are
familiar with ranking systems, right? In
video games, people get addicted because
they grind deathmatch and they get that
dopamine rush of ranking up. If you told
someone that, hey, I sit and I jerk off
on my keyboard pressing WD and moving my
mouse for hours on end a day with no
result, they're going to be like, what
the [ __ ] Like, why are you just on your
keyboard and mouse all day? But the
reason be is because for that brief
moment where you rank up from silver to
bronze, from bronze to silver, yada
yada, back and forth, whatever. Um, when
you do that over and over again, that
dopamine rush you get from those endless
pointless hours of grinding death
matches and ranked, the dopamine rush
you get from ranking up, right? That is
everything to us. So, looking at it
outside of like a video game
perspective, like business is literally
the same thing. So, let's say silver and
bronze, right? That's going to be like
three figures in revenue, like 100,
$200, $400 in revenue. And let's say
silver and gold is four figures in
revenue, so like couple thousand. And
then Platinum Diamond is six figures in
revenue. And then Ascendant and Immortal
is seven figures in revenue. And then
the Big Radiant is eight figures in
revenue. If you look at all these goals
with ecom as ranks, all the grinding is
literally the same [ __ ] thing as you
would in a video game. Like I said, in a
video game, you're deathmatching,
killing people for no [ __ ] reason.
Like, what gain do you actually have?
But we did it because we loved the
thrill of ranking up the same way. From
literally zero figures, like unranked to
to three figures, you're testing
products. Same thing here. You're
testing products. And then from here,
you're scaling. Scaling. Scaling even
harder. It's the same work. And that
dopamine rush you'd get from ranking up,
right? It's the same thing. From zero to
three figures, you rank up. From three
to four, you rank up. From four to six,
you rank up. From six to seven, you rank
up. So on and so forth. It's the same
[ __ ] thing. So learning to actually
chase that dopamine rush of money rather
than [ __ ] symbols on a screen is so
much better because once you get a taste
of it and you actually realize that it's
the same thing as a video game, you'll
get so addicted to making money because
rather than having pixels on your
screen, you have money you can actually
go out and spend and experience new
things and actually enjoy your [ __ ]
life. That's why people say making your
first 100K is way harder than going from
100K to a million. Because once you're
at 100K, you already realize like, okay,
to reach 100K, you had to go through the
grind. And going through that grind, you
got the dopamine rushes of actually
ranking up in terms of money and like
you learned so many of these mental
things that I'm talking about that
you're able to put in so much more work
to hit that million. This zero to 100k
is honestly all mental and learning how
to actually develop discipline, learning
how to enjoy the grind, learning how to
kind of gify your life. And once you
successfully do that and you make that
100k, it's so much easier to just ride
that momentum and make even more [ __ ]
money. And that's why it's so easy for
people. That's why people say the rich
get richer and the poor get poor. And if
you guys, like I said, if you guys don't
really understand gamifying your life,
like you can look at it outside of video
games, like in school, you study, you do
good on a test, you get a dopamine rush.
the same way. You test products, you
learn, you make more and more money, you
get that same dopamine rush, and it's
the same [ __ ] thing. So, look at each
kind of stage of your ecom journey as a
rank, as an achievement. You know, you
don't necessarily have to look at it as,
oh, zero and a million dollars. You can
look at it as, okay, there's ranks that
lead up to that million, four figures,
five figures, six figures, whatever.
There's ranks that are in between. When
you set small goals on your journey to
your ultimate end goal, it becomes a lot
more easier because you feel more
rewarded. So, it's really important to
gify your life and just view life as a
grind and view it as ranking up. So,
that's kind of exactly how I beat the
mental game of drop shipping. And a lot
of people ask how the [ __ ] I succeeded
so quickly because look, 2023, it's not
even 2026 and I've achieved this much.
And I'm not flaunting, but I'm just
telling you, I've learned these things
very fast on my own. And it's it's
what's honestly allowed me to succeed.
It wasn't getting lucky. It wasn't just
endlessly and pointlessly grinding. It
was grinding but also learning how to
mentally approach the grind. And that
made it so much more enjoyable which
ultimately increased my work output. So
to kind of summarize everything, right,
fear kills momentum, right? When you're
scared of losing money, when you're
scared of the unknown, you're eventually
going to stop and you're going to give
up. But it's really important to realize
that this fear is irrational and that
school and work and all this stuff
basically trains you to be afraid of the
unknown. But once you realize that, hey,
life is not easy. If business was this
easy, everyone would be doing it. Once
you realize that, you know, hey, the
money I'm losing right now, the effort
I'm doing right now is nothing compared
to the end goal, you'll realize that the
fear is nothing. You'll realize the fear
is so irrational. Because like I said,
once you go past this phase and you make
this money, this money is so much
greater than whatever you lost to get
there. I promise you that. So this fear
is all irrational. Don't be scared of
the unknown. The money you have to make
is so much higher than the money you'll
lose to get there. Next, analysis
process. Again, get over that fear. Take
action. Learn as you go. Learn that drop
shipping is all speed. And get over this
[ __ ] It's all stemming from the fear of
losing money. It's all stemming from the
fear of doing things wrong. I promise
you, if you just get over that fear and
learn to learn as you go, you will reach
your goals so much faster.
Again, losing trust in yourself. This is
the biggest reason you guys should take
from this video. Set goals. Stop saying
you're going to do it tomorrow. If you
are saying you're going to do it
tomorrow, rather than saying I'm going
to do it tomorrow, say, "Hey, I'm gonna
do one small thing today and then
tomorrow I'll do another small thing and
then the day after I'll do another small
thing." Rather than like saying you're
going to do all of it at once tomorrow.
Slowly break it up in chunks and build
that trust in yourself and eventually
you will get to a point where you have
the ability to speak anything you want
to existence. And this is the biggest
reason honestly of why I got success so
quickly. I built trust in myself and I
spoke that [ __ ] into existence. The
problem is people will speak [ __ ] but
they won't bring it to existence and
their mind will just continuously just
mentally masturbate over and over. Guys,
your mind is a [ __ ] program. And I
want you guys to realize that you need
to set realistic goals and make it
happen. And over time, those goals will
get bigger and bigger and you will make
it happen. Hold me to it, bro. So, yeah.
Honestly, I'm done kind of yapping. This
whole video was unscripted. Promise you
guys, you probably heard the [ __ ]
passion in my voice. This is not no
grifting. This I'm not trying to even
mentally masturbate you guys. I'm just
giving you the honest truth of what's
worked for me. And I hope this all made
sense for you. I know I was rambling a
lot, but literally guys, this video is
from the heart. So, please take what I
said, put action. Don't set unrealistic
goals, but start with small goals and
eventually build up to that unrealistic
goal and just be better every day.
Surround yourself with a good group of
people. Realize that, you know, school
and work is good, but it's training you
to think a certain way. You can't
approach that way with business. So,
that's pretty much it, guys. Um, again,
as always, there's a one-on-one
mentorship down below if you guys want
to work with me. If not, it's all good.
But literally, guys, my channel has more
than enough you need to succeed. This
video along with everything else is more
than enough to print online. So, shut
the [ __ ] up. Stop being in this analysis
paralysis cycle and take action.
Ask follow-up questions or revisit key timestamps.
The video addresses the crucial role of mentality in achieving success in drop shipping, which the speaker claims is the easiest way to make a first million online. Drawing from his personal journey from near-poverty to multi-million dollar success, he identifies key mental barriers: fear of loss, analysis paralysis, and a loss of self-trust due to procrastination. He then offers solutions, advising viewers to think logically rather than emotionally, understand that business growth is not linear like school or work but involves a "valley of disappointment," and to find a deep, emotional "why" to fuel their efforts beyond superficial goals. Other strategies include envisioning the end goal to make daily tasks feel like progress, building self-trust through small, achievable wins, surrounding oneself with successful people (even online), and "gamifying" life by treating financial milestones as ranks in a video game to leverage dopamine-driven motivation. Ultimately, he stresses the importance of taking action, setting realistic goals, and continuously learning to overcome mental hurdles.
