    Another awesome video MJ! :)
    Here are MJ's 10 confessions in order in which they appear in the video:
    1. 0:20 - Making money has nothing to do with money
    2. 1:02 - Stop caring about things that don't matter
    3. 1:18 - The media, government, and corporate oligarchs don't give a crap about you!
    4. 2:00 - Stop drinking that damn Pepsi!
    5. 2:22 - Happiness is only found in the now.
    6. 3:04 - The world doesn't care about your motives
    7. 3:30 - Your perception is not the reality, nor the truth
    8. 4:21 - Wall Street isn't in the business to make you rich
    9. 4:49 - Expect the process. Then trust the process
    10. 5:28 - There is no wisdom of the crowd
    Hope ya'll found this helpful! :)

I am happy to be able to see and fully understand the messages and I am here because I was looking for an answer and I got it and I understood that I attracted this message. I asked for this knowledge. My dear mother did not believe in the messages of the video, a couple of laughs come from my dad, and my ex partner needed a explanation plus from me ....

      @@kidtsI am 29 now and I work around 1 hour a day from monday to friday. I am a trader now and everything is about gold and dollar for me. It took me around 1 year to find the best way for me to trade and became very profitable. No boss, I decide when I like to "work" since the markets allow me that. Maybe sounds like a dream and many could not manage it to be real but if you are passionate about what you do, then you will spend all your time for it to make it happen. It is possible, whatever it is. I have a 4 years old son and my daughter will be born in a few months, and I have all the time to be with them. This coronavirus got many of us in trouble but the markets still work and I can continue like if there is nothing.
      My advice if you care: Think of one thing you love the most and find the best job you could do in all situations making much money everyday.
      I love to be at home with my family and trading takes me only 1 hour a day. Think of the freedom I can enjoy now and what I can teach my kids.

      @@xubey Your lifestyle sounds great and I am glad to hear that you could make it happen. Thank you for taking the time to write the response.
      Concerning your advice, from my experience a passion is usually very self-centered and doesn't necessary create value for others and thus doesn't get payed well.
      So my suggestion is to build a very lucrative business and learn "to love what you do", at least to be able to tolerate it. Afterwards with the financial freedom you can set more time aside to dedicate to your biggest passion.
      When you are young you can try to find a passion (while not working much and living frugally) that you can make a business off.
      What do you think?

    • @xubey
      @xubey 4 роки тому +2

      @@kidts you must find a way to mix your passion with a business. There is always something that brings you money and makes you happy. You can not just follow your passion and expect becoming much money. I believe there is no financial freedom because you always have to keep up the system you have build for it. There are two ways for me to feel financial free. Either you choose a work you love and find a way to earn good money with it because then you will just follow your passion and do your job very very good which brings you alot of money. Or you choose a way to earn money with almost no afford and earn much money in a very short time.
      At the beginning when i was 27 i built a online marketing business and followed my passion for design and marketing. I had my first customer very quick and began to create a website for that client. My business model was simple: create a website, client pays 160 euro every month and i make sure the website works all the time. I thought i only need like 30 customers and i would be financial free. 4800 euro every month for creating a website only one time which takes me like 3-4 hours sounds very good .. but after the first website i realised that i would have alot of work fixing problems and checking everything and answer questions all the time, and more ... this has nothing to do with my passion and im glad i found trading for me. I told my first client that im sorry and i cant do that even when she was absolutely ready for it and happy.
      It depends on the person what type of business you can do and what makes you happy and financial free. I am financial free because i do not have to follow any rules or any times to get money. Money for me is just like a tool to get myself and my family more free time. I even think to pay someone who goes shopping for me and do all the things i hate to do .. but next step is to help others which dont have the possibility to do anything. The poor and helpless will be my mission and thats what we all should do when we managed it for ourselves.
      Sry for my english but hope you understood my points

    This was so me! I loved Pepsi and feared spiders. And never picked first. The health system definitely wants us ill! Why else don't they recommend burning bras and eating a mushroom a day? Why else does the government subsidize dairy to schools? For example: Children get yogurt for breakfast, cheese and milk for lunch. Yet dairy is a leading factor for cancer. And why isn't processed sugar taxed the same as cigarettes and alchohol? A sick society makes billions for the health industry. What does a healthy society do? Makes for relatively empty hospitals and doctors offices. Just look at the inventory of an Aldi's store versus a Walmart or Kroger. How many food items provide great health? Even Aldi's is creeping into more unhealthy items over past several years. Convenince foods are convenient for corporations' bottom lines, just as Fast Food makes fast profits for mega corporate businesses. TFS.

    I cannot completely agree with the third point that government doesn't care about you. Well, ideally it should and that is why a government is formed. Talking about developed countries, we live in a democratic society, where labour laws are such that each individual is protected from abuse, health care and education in some countries are free, roads and infrastructure are built. Isn't government just a system which is constantly improved for good and excepts individuals to take care of themselves and make their own choice. I mean , we don't have a perfect government yet but this just ignores the benefit we are getting from the government

      I was going to make a similar comment. Also, if they didn't care about us or want us to get rich, then why all the tax breaks, write-offs, and deductions for business owners? Why even offer small business owners something like the SOLO 401(K) or SEP IRA? The truth is, they do care about us, and they want us to get wealthy, or else those things wouldn't exist.
