Hey friends, appreciate you watching. I hope you got some value from this one. If you want to keep up with my weekly musings on productivity, business, really just how I try to make progress - I have a newsletter you might want to subscribe to: www.anthonyvicino.com/newsletter
@@Pandafxacad Biggest chunk of that was school loans ($60k) ($20k was subsidizing my lifestyle example: living in an apartment I couldn't really afford)
@@NadidLinchestein Definitely. You might also be interested in checking out our other channel/podcast called Multifamily Investing Made Simple. We've got over 250+ episodes and talk pretty openly and transparently about our business operations on the real estate side.
Great video. I’m currently living in a van and trying to figure out life. I’m $100k in debt. I was in a toxic relationship and was trying to support her and her kids by providing shelter but that put me in so much debt and now I owe the IRS which they are currently garnishing my wages. I’ve hit rock bottom and trying to climb my way up
If You have Jesus then you have Life. I live in my car and had a ex who took my kids and left but in this darkness I HAVE JESUS ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️and that's all you need
What I learn: 1. Treat personal development as your most important job. 2. Mindset: have a clear vision/target. 3 Health: Exercise, good nutrition and enough sleep(Healthy man wants a thousand things, the sick mant wants but one, Seneca). 4. Wealth: Learn the rules on money games. 5. Skills: Learn to be dicipline, learn to communicate effectively, and great coaching (focus on the process). 6. Parked ego at the door and cut expenses ruthlessly. 7. Build business. Build cash generating business.(He start as a windows cleaner and soon hire a guy to do the job). 8. Invest everything as you possible: Start small and reinvest the money. Thanks for sharing.🙋♂
I was penniless after she ran off dumped me all the bills. 4 years later I’m debt free rebuilt by Gods grace. She’sliving with her parents with 3 kids. I own my home and car and savings debt free.
Glad to know youre doing better. I’m in the middle of rebooting my life all over altogether. I’m thinking of starting business that I think can be future proof. Do you hv any tips on how you managed to survive all the rough courses?
@@boboiboy9350 I too went through rough times and what helped me was being grateful for what I have - a working body, eyes and legs, food etc. Also staying away from watching porn and semen retention also helped a lot. So it's gratitude, semen retention, not watching porn, focusing on the positives, meditation and constantly learning and applying those new ideas and lessons. Being more curious and observant also greatly contributed to my well being. Wish you the best and a happy future!
"Park the ego at the door." I can definitely relate to this. Some friends judge me because my lifestyle is not extravaganza. But I have goals to achieve and accomplish. 😊
Good video. I'm a home inspector and remodeling contractor. I have literally just gotten out of the hole from the 2008 housing crash and a simultaneous divorce. I'm starting a small engine repair business and will simultaneously make videos of the process to post on social media. I'm currently buying clapped out ATV'S, motorcycles, outboards to repair and sell to hone my skills. Hopefully this will springboard me into real estate since I pretty much know it inside out. I'm 58 next week. I have no health insurance and no retirement but I'm at the gym 4 to 5 days a week and I cannot reiterate how important that is. Thanks for posting.
I really enjoyed your honesty in this video. You didn’t try to sell some bullshit formula. You simply told us what worked for you and I think personal stories are more important than formulas with so much lateral factors we don’t see. Thanks for being you!
Honestly, pretty straightforward, completely honest, no magical formulas just simply put your head down, analyze, evaluate, do the work and get the results
That’s not what he meant. He reached millionaire status in 3 years, meaning $1M. The rest of it came in the many years thereafter. It was not all obtained in 3 years.
'That which we can be, we must be'. Maslow. Love it! 4 spheres - Mindset, health, wealth, skills. Health: Exercise. Nutrition. Sleep.Skills: 1. Discipline. 2. Communication. Focus on process. ty Tony. Hope ur good
I found this very motivating. I loved your point about parking your ego at the door. I moved in with my dad almost a year ago to save money and get out of debt. I am now hiring my first employee for my graphic design business. Still got a ways to go but I see my freedom curve starting to bend up!!!
Finally someone else who became a Millionaire in 3 years, I knew I wasn't the only one who could do it. I never lived in a van but I was flat broke working in a grocery store deli making less than 20K a year. Once I put my plan together I was making 50K a month 3 years later. I'm looking to interact with other UA-cam channels my size, keep up the good work!
It's totally possible. Step one is simply believing YOU can make it happen. So many people get tripped up there and never move forward. Psyched to hear about your success, Martin.
I'm 1 million in debt. Before 2019 I had no debt. Long story how I got here but I'm trying my best to get out. Sometimes I feel hopeless but then I remember I can't quit, I can't give up. Literally, it's do this or die trying for me. I just invested the last of whatever I have into a business with the hope that I can turn this around. Wish me luck, because if this doesn't work, it's the end. I hope one day I would be able to tell my success story too,, but sometimes it's a lonely view from where I am. Hearing about others being able to overcome their challenges gives me hope even though I know I have a much higher mountain to climb.
Even if current business doesn't end well for you (I think everything around us is random to some degree) it's not end. It is possible to move up from anywhere if you decide to, but it will take time and will be painful.
Did you see the other person comment about hiring a government grant writer? He got $2 million after his construction biz went under and he was a million in debt?
Don't usually comment that much but thank you for this video. I am 26 years old with no money with myself and everyone around me telling me I have so much potential. I am sleeping early today and going to commit to the path of discipline.
Glad this video found you. I used to be exactly where you are. It can be frustrating knowing you have untapped potential... or it can be motivating. Your choice! Good luck.
How's it been going for you lately, intra? Don't mean to call you out if it's still a struggle; that's where I am too, but I hope you're managing to keep moving forward. I feel you on the no money and "so much potential" front.
Good Stuff! I laughed a few times because I lived in an abandoned dilapidated RV for 3 years with an extension cord into a house for electricity. But I found ways to make it seamless and no one knew except for me and a buddy. I have not yet taken action on using my apartment steam cleaner to offer my services to businesses to be self-employed and now thanks to you, I will incorporate window cleaning into the services. I will keep it simple, Food, Shelter, Exercise, Prayer and Sleep...at 61, God willing, three years is very doable, thanks Anthony! 🙂👍
Sound advice. I love the part where you stated to park your ego at the door and make the necessary short to medium-term sacrifices to experience long-term gain. Thank you. 🙂
I was $25k in consumer debt in 2018 and thought having $10k one day in savings was a dream. I switched careers to sales and started an eCommerce side hustle, and now I have a vision and gameplan to achieve lifechanging wealth by the end of 2025. By 2021, I paid off all consumer debt and only debt now is my house. Building a business is definitely fun as fuck.
I’m 40 and still living at the family home… I’ve been through a lot, both good and bad, I have my passions and purpose and I am starting to make better money and investing more, and I’m planning my next 5-10 years and I believe I will succeed, great video
I just turned 40 years old. Married with one child. Currently on short term disability due to illness. My background is in Cyber. I’m starting my journey to wellness and wealth. I’ve kinda hit rock bottom but this video has inspired me to know I can do it. I wish everyone well wishes…
My takeaway is when he said he “hired someone else to do the work for him” meaning a person, robot, computer etc is making him money and in turn providing valuable sweet time to make the good decisions…Seems to be a common thread among successful people? Is this the key? Its not in my plans or mindset so often think I am going in the wrong direction and just don’t have that business mindset. It’s different stage or weakness to overcome for each of us? No one answer… Skill is huge! I found out more recently. Valuable and practical skill is even better ❤
@@muffsmerino You're on the right track here. What you're talking about is one of the most important concepts for generating wealth: Leverage. Check out this Twitter thread where I go more in depth:twitter.com/AnthonyVicino/status/1566826745826873345 Also, my most recent video called "These 6 Skills Made Me Millions", talks a bit about the concept. Took me a long time in life to learn this skill. DOn't worry. You still have time.
Fellow NE Minneapolis resident here. Love your videos, this one specifically. 34 years old, mid life/identity crisis, completely lost and no direction. I have a decent job and no debt so that helps a lot, but have completely lost the zest and ambition for life and to really become the man I’m meant to be. I’m hoping I’ll run into you at Spy house or Boom island park one of these days!! Congratulations on your success and keep up the good work!!
Wow, this is impressive! He actually listed and expanded on actionable steps that anyone can take to improve themselves. No tease, no like and Subscribe, no fluff and no Flex just truth.
Wow. Thank you for sharing this. I hit rock bottom years back. I couldn't land a job and became depressed. Then, an ex partner decided to call it quits after years of being together. I was in debt, stressed, unemployed, and broken hearted. To top it off with a cherry on top. I was diagnosed with a breast tumor. To make a long story short. Thank God for God's love and provision. He restored my emotions, blessed me with an amazing job and I'm debt free. This video was an eye opener as I'm now searching on how to be financially independent with multiple streams of income.
My fiancé also left me after staying with her family in another state. Living in my car at the time to save for a place of our own, I felt dumb to think that I thought we were on the same page. Since then, I have been trying to bounce back, which I have, but I am still not happy. In the end, I don't think trying to obtain happiness is the main goal we should strive for. Peace and internal peace is the only thing that matters.
Daniel, really sorry to hear you're going through all that. It sounds like your head is pointed in the right direction. Just keep it that way and keep moving forward. I agree Happiness is the wrong goal to strive for in life.
@@crowbar9566 Yes there is. Our egos are what blocks the peace. We are all at peace inherently, but identifying with thought processes ruins that. Hence why meditation or psychedelic therapy can help with that
Incredible timing. I was finally getting sick and tired of being sick and tired. The last decade of my life has been a living hell after badly injuring my back. I was getting too caught up in the insurance and other battles. I was getting deeper and deeper into debt. The negativity around me was getting out of hand, even from family. I reached a breaking point with the sheer amount of stress and ended up in the hospital with 2 back to back strokes in 2021. Essentially I was forced to change my thinking. Spring of 2022 I bumped into an old colleague of mine. After describing my physical challenges/limitations from the injury, she mentioned about my mind. I began fine tuning my writing strengths/skills. At the beginning of September 2022 I set a goal for my self of making $400,000.00 in 4 years to pay all debts off. One thing I have done through out 2022 is that I have told no one what I am doing. I don't need to hear more of the negative crap. I have to stay focused on the goal. So your video is incredibly good timing.
@@gb3776 Lots of truth in the idea that most of the people in your life don't want to see you succeed. Be careful about who you let into your inner circle.
@Truth 66 You might find Joe Dispenza and particularly his book "You are the Placebo" interesting. He developed his work following a serious back injury.
You deserve all the subs and likes on your channel. As an upcoming mechanical engineer who wants to start his own business while being in debt 90k, this was gold. Thank you
Thank you. I am working so hard on repairing my toxic behaviors with money. One of the most humbling, park you ego moments for me, was when my daughter told us (hubs and I) that she really wanted that $3 item, but didn't want to ask and embarrass me or daddy by asking. That was the kick in the pants I needed. We are 3 years into our journey and not fully out. But I keep going every single day. I definitely get weary and needed to hear some success stories, and a fresh perspective. Thank you. ❤
I am inspired by you Sir. Yup. I am stuck more than $10k in debt, no money in my bank. I have business too but it looks like it is falling apart. I cannot control the market. Had many liabilities.. Your story inspired me to keep going and planning and possibly parking my ego and reset my lifestyle. Thank you! All the best. God bless!
In a time where the world seems to be spiralling out of control, this is what we need more of. Brave stuff man, to admit what you have....this is such a great video!!
@@AnthonyVicino Giving a real sense of clarity by using real and relatable examples from your own life. Didn't feel talked or preached at, at all....more so inspired to take stock and continue to self reflect and grow. Can I share this video?
That last part is the real key that nobody ever mentions. Invest everything you can, but also definitely make smart investments. Investing everything only works if the investments themselves are good.
Thank you for sharing your story It is important for me to know that you were not simply in debt to $80K but actually had a lot of infrastructure in place already... ... that instead you had to take stock of your life and build the infrastructure is very important to me It brings integrity and practicality to your story Thank you 🙏🏻
The great thing about your story and advice is that it is mostly relatable, and solutions to your problems are what most people think about; however, we're paralised by self-doubt and worth. Most importantly, you don't seek to portray yourself genius. It feels awkward that: 1. I know that I have to be disciplined. 2. I have to put my best skill forward. 3. Fortunately, and this has been confirmed by people around me and I've always been aware of it; that I'm good at communicating; I just have to take an advantage of it at a greater level. Thank you so much for the effort of making this video and the message itself.
I appreciate that, Jethro! For the record, I am definitely not a genius (nor am I particularly special!). I love that you have self-awareness around your skills (specifically your strengths). Communication is a powerful skill. Lean into it, bro!
@@paul_adolphs Copywriting is one of the most valuable skills in business. Hands down. If you can write words that sell, the sky is the limit for your earning potential.
@@paul_adolphs please tell me more about this. I think I posses the same trait and passion as well. But, I dont know how to monetize or make it productive in any way. Please help me

Then the quickest way to start is by a) offering businesses your service for free to build reputation b) use Freelance portals to get first jobs Start with exchanging time for money at the start
It's crazy how high your level of quality is for how small your channel is. Absolutely sub-worthy and I hope to be able to claim I'm one of the first thousand when you have millions. Keep it up!
This is great! And his Twitter account is right on. Love the part about forgetting your ego. The world is run now days by people’s big egos thinking they are better than others when we should have small egos and lift up others instead of pushing them down. The world would be so much better without peoples big egos. Thank you for sharing this great video.
I just lost my husband few months ago and left behind me and two little daughters. Thanks for the video...I will count from now to the next 3 years. Hopefully I will be sucessfull like you to make my husband be proud of me....
Most of the people share these tips with extended 20&25 minutes length videos but you shared in short amounts of time with clear explanation, it’s fascinating. Keep spread your stunning content.
Focusing on your skill set is huge. I have lately been working really hard on becoming more vocal in my classrooms and trying to talk to others in public to hone that skill.
I stumbled upon this video today Currebtly 24k in debt, -$300 in my Bank Account, motorcycle is currently broken, 3 months behind on rent, and endless, limitless, amount of job rejections from anywhere ranging from McDonalds to UPS. The only thing i have going for me right now is my saxophone and UA-cam channel. So this video really lit a fire in tangible evidence that it isn't over, yet
@@jhpondatrack Father died in November thus had to move back home. Ironically, perhaps the best thing to happen to me as it forced me to put a giant Pause. on life and really start introspection and rebuilding.
I thought at first you went from 80k in debt to 1 mill in debt and I was like lemme definitely watch this to NOT make that mistake😂but, ended up learning some extra gems 👌
grat video again so thankful that you varried the background music and even deleted it intermittenly so many pod casts the same music and very annoying blessings Bro
Thank you Anthony, this video really addressed a lot of things I've been feeling & thinking and worrying about. You've given me something proactive to start working on and towards!
This video took me back to 9 years ago. Divorced with 3 kids, no money, no skills. Wasted no time. Learnt sales, brought my kids up and then went into entrepreneurship.
Inspiring! Gonna follow your footsteps. Currently 180k in the hole plus 350k mortgage. I set out 3 years to get from that to 7figures a few days before I first saw your channel, so now I have proof that it isnt impossible. Thank you for living as an example. I call that altruistic egoism - by focusing on yourself, you can become an inspiration plus the value you provide to get wealthy benefits others, otherwise it wouldnt make you rich.
Dude you are the only of these finacial gurus here on youtube that I can relate to. Ill keep eye on your stuff and try to figure something out. Ty for making it and sharing a bits.
You truly can do a lot in 3 years. 🙋🏾♀️I went from being homeless with my son to being a homeowner in 3 years🎉🎉 It's all in WHAT YOU WANT AND WHAT YOU'RE WILLING TO SACRIFICE🗣for YOUR greatest good🤷🏾♀️💫🌌🧘🏾♀️
This was worth my time. One of the very few selfhelp videos on UA-cam that make sense. Good story, relatable, and impeccable delivery. Thanks millionaire dude!
I did the same. I was 40k down. I patented a inventions and founded a company around the inventions. Turned my life around very fast. Now I live mostly on boats and spend my time exploring. Anything is possible with action and a positive attitude.
This is my life and I’ll live it how I want I never cared what people think I moved back in with my mom I’m saving more than ever and helping her and adding value to myself I plan to do this for the next 3 years before I launch my own business. That’s the plan and everything else doesn’t t matter but God and family.
Totally agree with you, that’s what I been thinking so far too, and I know exactly my weakness, saw you video helped me to keep myself on the right direction, by the way I am 1m in debt single mom and learning English helped myself found a job which I consider as a starting point, hope whoever experiencing the same situation don’t give up!
In the first part of the video he's telling you how he has developed his abundance mindset. Breakups did it for me as now I'm fortunate enough to be making around six figures in my twenties. Great video!
Your story is a HOPE for me. I'm already 30 years old now and just started investing in stock market. I can see a minimal growth in my portfolio and I want to be the best enough learning how to upgrade my skills in investing. I can't wait how will this become in the next 3 years.
I'm actually following that path (almost the same as yours ) . I've just created my first business, and I really want to grow, for my wealth, for my own future. Your video is awesome, I watched a lot of video, and yours is one of the most valuable. Every sentence you say in the video is perfect (and in only 13 minutes). Good job man, I hope that your youtube channel will go over the moon
Never saw your content before but loved this video. I’m at the start of my wealth building journey at the age of 40 after a divorce, with a child, and deciding to quit my career in healthcare. It’s very overwhelming but exciting. I would love to get coaching but I’m sure great coaching costs an arm and a leg!!
@@AnthonyVicino Cost aside, what does a coach do for you? What would they help with on a daily basis? Do they help you grow your current business or put their input? People watch Denzel Washington motivational videos then they wake up the next morning and the drive/dream is gone. Do they hold you accountable? I ask this because I would enjoy a coach but don't know where to look for one that would fit my goal. Thanks!
@@bluecollar7060 Killer questions. The answer is: It Depends. For me, I hire coaches to teach me specific skills (not general accountability or whatever). Example: I started working with a UA-cam coach. I took his lessons and applied them to this video. The result? The channel has grown from 220 subscribers to over 5k in less than a week. A good coach saves you time and gets you to your results faster. If they're not, they aren't a very good coach. Here's a video I did on the topic over on Insta: instagram.com/p/CiNz1pRgn9r/
Done it same with my business,money in money out 7 years later and 2 lockdowns put me to a ground ,now around -300k debt almost shout down everything because debt and stress,but now power is BACK and in next 3 years challenge to make millions and run the business. Never ever give up people!!!
Absolutely!! Some cultures look at living with parents far differently than the average American, which I think is a shame. Living with family was powerful for me for so many reasons.
@@AnthonyVicino My moms parents lived with us. And my dads parents lived with his sister. We babysat for grandkids. Our youngest son still lives with us (23) and now I watch my grandbabies. We are all American. It may be a generational thing too because several of my friends growing up had mixtures of family living in same house. It works. Its called RESPECT. Cheers!
Anthony, thank you 🙏🏼 You are a true champion and life coach. Everything you said does matter and I have now subscribed to your channel. Im giving myself 3 years
Well done ! I am just good or rather very good at my job as a live in carer. I work 3 continuous days a week and the rest of the time I go to the gym, I walk, I learnt to play piano. I paid off my 2 bedroom apartment in 16 years and I have been traveling extensively. I frick out when I have shares going down in price so no more for me. I am renting my unit in Adelaide and living in Sydney in a nurses accommodation which my rent pays for. Here I can work with wealthy people. I take at least two international holidays a year. Next week I will be leaving for a cruise in the Galapagos , Amazon jungle short break, Peru, Argentina and Brasil tour. This is a dream even for those living in S America. I agree it is the best to do what you like and you can t have everything. I am 100 per cent happy with my life at 66.
Very inspirational. I lost funding for my project at 2020 and had to move into a portacabin in a field. Im 65. Ive worked 50 years but cannot get help. I started a You Tube channel and learn new things every week. I have a calendar of things to do, things to learn and things to give away. I have just turned a corner! I expect to be back working in Spring. Thanks for the video its very meaningful
I would add - the bit about living with your mother - I'd imagine this was the most dangerous part where focus on progress was the most important. Simply because comfort in itself is dangerous to keep you stuck. I'd imagine your sense of drive was the most valuable at this stage of the story
That's a really important observation, Nick. Most people get their first taste of success and let off the gas. Remember, there are no awards for winning the first inning.
@@AnthonyVicino so I just discovered your channel and it's ringing my bells. I wonder if you have content or plan to do content on effective saving strategies, entering the world of stock investment and which one are great dividends stocks... And I wonder what your opinion is on pensions having made enough money to live life "to the end"? Should we save like crazy for retirement? Or is the use of our money better spent in the here and now in the pursuit of not needing a pension? 🤷 But if a tangent and no doubt you're busy! But your thoughts on the above would be super interesting 👀
My friend, you got a new subscriber. You made crucial remarks about the best way moving forward. Consistent efford wins the game all the time. Congrats on all the success!
Absolutely phenomenal breakdown. Mostly because you kept it high level, kept it easy to understand your process throughout and wrapped it up with an incredible quote "it's not easy, but it is simple". What a fucking stellar share, thanks so much for this. You clearly did a huge amount of inner work to make that shift, epic effort!
Great story and recovery. The bit for me that was a bit hazy was the quantum leap from window cleaning business to investing hundreds of thousands. Maybe you can do a video to demonstrate that because, as you say, we're not taught that bit.
Concepts and frameworks tend to be more universal than details, but here's a bit more in the weeds for ya (also, for reference, our other channel and podcast (Multifamily Investing Made Simple) goes waaay more into detail on the nuts and bolts of the real estate side. Also, I blog way more about details on Twitter and LinkedIn for those interested. Here is an excerpt from a recent post: To get out of that van, I washed windows. Bought $100 of supplies and charged $5 / window. I knocked on a dozen doors before somebody answered. Another dozen before I got my first customer. That first customer put me in the black, which was great, but I was simply trading my time for money. So I made my first two hires. I kept knocking on doors and the other two washed the windows. Within a month we were booked solid for the next quarter. So I kept hiring... And by the end of the first year we had cleaned over $1,000,000 worth of windows. A task that would've been physically impossible for me alone was easy work for a team of ~15. Because some people find it hard to believe that a window washing company can clear $1M, here's more math: We were based in San Francisco where we could charged anywhere between $15-20/window depending how difficult it was to reach the window. Another $5/screen. Power washing was quoted per job, but generally a couple hundred for an hour of work. $1,000,000 of revenue at an avg $17/window = 58,823 windows The average house in San Francisco is 3 stories with between 20-30 windows. 58,823 / 25 windows/house = 2,352 homes / year That's 196 houses/ month. That means for our crew of 15, each person had to average around 15.5 houses / month (or 4 houses/week/person). We ran daily squads of 3 that would wash anywhere between 3-8 houses/day. **These numbers are watered down. We actually did well over $1M in Y2. I exited this business in year 2, wrote some science fiction and fantasy novels (just search me on Amazon), then got involved in my buddy's manufacturing company producing rock climbing equipment (Escape Climbing). We scaled that from $300k in revenue to $3M in 3 years. I exited that in 2019 to found Invictus Capital and Invictus Management. We now own ~$70M worth of apartment buildings in the Twin Cities. But it all started with a triplex I bought many moons ago for $246,500. I used an FHA loan (for first time homebuyers) that only required me to bring $7,500 to the closing table. 9 months later that property appraised for $375,000. I took out a HELOC (Home Equity Line of Credit) to tap into that $125,000 of equity and... Bought another building. And another... (to date we've raised ~$25M) As for budgeting and what-not... I'm pathologically frugal (even today I drive a 2015 Toyota Prius C I picked up for $10k). Happy to go deeper into numbers, but at a certain point I think it stops being helpful. Again, concepts tend to be universal. Details, not so much
The best explanation of true actual self tranformation I've ever come across. Firstly I applaud that you did it... alone. Secondly I applaud that you made the plan decisions... alone, Lastly your story of taking personal responsibilty for making today a purposeful step for tomorrow at the exlusion of todays comforts is the takeaway that works for me. You traded a few years of comfort for a lifetime of comfort, best trade you'll ever make!
What a coincidence! we just started a window cleaning business and at the same time we live in a van rent free 😁 business is booming considering its our second year still. The only difference is we are not in debt and we love the nomadic lifestyle, loving the vanlife and we love going to campsites, hotels, airbnb… we feel free with our new lifestyle, glad we quit our full time work and let go our ego… ego is a big thing if we manage to let it go then we are free to be whoever we want to be. We are thinking of investing somewhere small in the Philippines as New Zealand is still too pricy for us to start… good luck to everyone! it certainly is fun adventure just enjoy the ride and everything will be alright… the universe/ God will eventually give in if you are persistent and just believe in yourself 😁❤️
@@clairephilip3259 Sure do. We've got another channel and podcast called Multifamily Investing Made Simple with 300+ episodes: www.youtube.com/@MultifamilyInvestingMadeSimple
@@AnthonyVicino thx for the video. But what if i know i wanna be wealthy but i dont know with what thats the issue..and i only get older with doing nothing…
My goal is to eliminate money as a need, a thought, a dependency or anything at all of significance. I never want to ever think about it, handle it, chase it, owe it, need it, want it, or even think about it at all ever again.
Wow had to watch this video twice and take notes the second time. So inspiring! Solid and grounded advice. So pumped to put this into action! Fantastic video thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experience 😄
Clearly said👍 I'm single mum and was 1 year without income after birth of my baby and even with debt, just working to clear it and fulfill my dreams too, as a woman before ewas actually easy to earn money but having small baby it is another level but many women made it so 8 can too 💪
Excellent content. I'm in the process of starting over, and have applied most of these principles.....but I love what you said about mentorship.....I started that too. New subscriber.
Well I feel f-in inspired! I'm in debt, I have a job, I've started my own business. I have the same goal as you once did, after I expand my business I'm going to hire someone to do the things I'm doing now and invest my money in real estate. Getting closer to it each day! God bless!

@@NadidLinchestein Definitely. You might also be interested in checking out our other channel/podcast called Multifamily Investing Made Simple. We've got over 250+ episodes and talk pretty openly and transparently about our business operations on the real estate side.
Great video. I’m currently living in a van and trying to figure out life. I’m $100k in debt. I was in a toxic relationship and was trying to support her and her kids by providing shelter but that put me in so much debt and now I owe the IRS which they are currently garnishing my wages. I’ve hit rock bottom and trying to climb my way up
😢💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Are you still doing Turo?
If You have Jesus then you have Life. I live in my car and had a ex who took my kids and left but in this darkness I HAVE JESUS ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️and that's all you need
best of luck to you, you can do this!
I Hope this make you learne to stay away from single mother
What I learn:
1. Treat personal development as your most important job.
2. Mindset: have a clear vision/target.
3 Health: Exercise, good nutrition and enough sleep(Healthy man wants a thousand things, the sick mant wants but one, Seneca).
4. Wealth: Learn the rules on money games.
5. Skills: Learn to be dicipline, learn to communicate effectively, and great coaching (focus on the process).
6. Parked ego at the door and cut expenses ruthlessly.
7. Build business. Build cash generating business.(He start as a windows cleaner and soon hire a guy to do the job).
8. Invest everything as you possible: Start small and reinvest the money.
Thanks for sharing.🙋♂
Fantastic recap! Very cool.
I wonder when u started paying off your debts- did u have to get comfortable or u had to pay while struggling?
@@LorenaVivarEstella It was definitely uncomfortable for a long time.
Nobody said it would be easy, but it is worth it.
@@AnthonyVicino you dont explain how you paid off debt and what type of investments where the best for you?
@@AnthonyVicino Seriously? That's how you made $100 000 000 ?? "window washing business" ??
I was penniless after she ran off dumped me all the bills. 4 years later I’m debt free rebuilt by Gods grace. She’sliving with her parents with 3 kids. I own my home and car and savings debt free.
Boom. Sounds like you came out better for it! Well done.
Glad to know youre doing better. I’m in the middle of rebooting my life all over altogether. I’m thinking of starting business that I think can be future proof. Do you hv any tips on how you managed to survive all the rough courses?
@@boboiboy9350 I too went through rough times and what helped me was being grateful for what I have - a working body, eyes and legs, food etc. Also staying away from watching porn and semen retention also helped a lot.
So it's gratitude, semen retention, not watching porn, focusing on the positives, meditation and constantly learning and applying those new ideas and lessons. Being more curious and observant also greatly contributed to my well being. Wish you the best and a happy future!
@@surfer767 semen retention? lollllll
@@surfer767 well said friend🙏🙏
"Park the ego at the door." I can definitely relate to this. Some friends judge me because my lifestyle is not extravaganza. But I have goals to achieve and accomplish. 😊
I love that mindset. Stay on YOUR path.
just keeping going. in a few years their views will not at all matter and they will also get it
Good video. I'm a home inspector and remodeling contractor. I have literally just gotten out of the hole from the 2008 housing crash and a simultaneous divorce. I'm starting a small engine repair business and will simultaneously make videos of the process to post on social media. I'm currently buying clapped out ATV'S, motorcycles, outboards to repair and sell to hone my skills. Hopefully this will springboard me into real estate since I pretty much know it inside out. I'm 58 next week. I have no health insurance and no retirement but I'm at the gym 4 to 5 days a week and I cannot reiterate how important that is. Thanks for posting.
Thanks for sharing your story, Dwight. I think it's badass you're getting into the gym 4-5 days/week. That's absolutely stellar. Keep it up, brother.
I really enjoyed your honesty in this video. You didn’t try to sell some bullshit formula. You simply told us what worked for you and I think personal stories are more important than formulas with so much lateral factors we don’t see. Thanks for being you!
Formulas are hard. They tend to be very contextual. I prefer frameworks and concepts. They tend to be more universal.
Honestly, pretty straightforward, completely honest, no magical formulas just simply put your head down, analyze, evaluate, do the work and get the results
@@scales5748 It's all pretty simple, but not terribly easy.
Glad you enjoyed the video, Scales!
My bullshit meter pegged when he said he's now at a $80 Million portfolio starting with $200,000 in 3 years. All credibility is gone. Poof!
That’s not what he meant. He reached millionaire status in 3 years, meaning $1M. The rest of it came in the many years thereafter. It was not all obtained in 3 years.

“Money is a game, and anyone can win if they know how to play”. That’s a quote that will stick with me for a while. Thanks for sharing!
Glad that line resonated!! Thanks for being here, Nikki!
I found this very motivating. I loved your point about parking your ego at the door. I moved in with my dad almost a year ago to save money and get out of debt. I am now hiring my first employee for my graphic design business. Still got a ways to go but I see my freedom curve starting to bend up!!!
I love, love, love hearing this, Emma! Keep going!
How’s news?
How much debt did you have and how long did it take you?
" park your ego at the door and move forward" this really spoke to me
Something I have to remind myself of daily. I'm a slow learner.
Finally someone else who became a Millionaire in 3 years, I knew I wasn't the only one who could do it. I never lived in a van but I was flat broke working in a grocery store deli making less than 20K a year. Once I put my plan together I was making 50K a month 3 years later. I'm looking to interact with other UA-cam channels my size, keep up the good work!
It's totally possible. Step one is simply believing YOU can make it happen. So many people get tripped up there and never move forward. Psyched to hear about your success, Martin.
"Finally?"🤣🤣 Who are you strange people
Someday soon I'll be there, it's year one
@@abhishektanwar1445 Awesome! Keep me informed of your progress
@@martinmi5 😇✌🏼more power to you, we'll meet someday
I'm 1 million in debt. Before 2019 I had no debt. Long story how I got here but I'm trying my best to get out. Sometimes I feel hopeless but then I remember I can't quit, I can't give up. Literally, it's do this or die trying for me. I just invested the last of whatever I have into a business with the hope that I can turn this around. Wish me luck, because if this doesn't work, it's the end. I hope one day I would be able to tell my success story too,, but sometimes it's a lonely view from where I am. Hearing about others being able to overcome their challenges gives me hope even though I know I have a much higher mountain to climb.
Even if current business doesn't end well for you (I think everything around us is random to some degree) it's not end. It is possible to move up from anywhere if you decide to, but it will take time and will be painful.
Exactly. That game isn't over until you stop playing. Stay in there and keep going, Carol.
Did you see the other person comment about hiring a government grant writer? He got $2 million after his construction biz went under and he was a million in debt?
Just a quick question. How did you end up $1 million in debt? Mortgage or student loans?
Whoa, can't you declare bankruptcy or something?
Don't usually comment that much but thank you for this video. I am 26 years old with no money with myself and everyone around me telling me I have so much potential. I am sleeping early today and going to commit to the path of discipline.
Glad this video found you. I used to be exactly where you are. It can be frustrating knowing you have untapped potential... or it can be motivating. Your choice! Good luck.
You got this!!! You can do it!
How's it been going for you lately, intra? Don't mean to call you out if it's still a struggle; that's where I am too, but I hope you're managing to keep moving forward. I feel you on the no money and "so much potential" front.
Good Stuff! I laughed a few times because I lived in an abandoned dilapidated RV for 3 years with an extension cord into a house for electricity. But I found ways to make it seamless and no one knew except for me and a buddy. I have not yet taken action on using my apartment steam cleaner to offer my services to businesses to be self-employed and now thanks to you, I will incorporate window cleaning into the services. I will keep it simple, Food, Shelter, Exercise, Prayer and Sleep...at 61, God willing, three years is very doable, thanks Anthony! 🙂👍
Nice! Way to be scrappy. You got this!!
Sound advice. I love the part where you stated to park your ego at the door and make the necessary short to medium-term sacrifices to experience long-term gain. Thank you. 🙂
Psyched you enjoyed the video, Meilat!
I was $25k in consumer debt in 2018 and thought having $10k one day in savings was a dream. I switched careers to sales and started an eCommerce side hustle, and now I have a vision and gameplan to achieve lifechanging wealth by the end of 2025. By 2021, I paid off all consumer debt and only debt now is my house. Building a business is definitely fun as fuck.
Dude, stories like this get me jazzed! Thanks for sharing.
Hey! Any updates on your journey? I want to change my life and your comment gave me inspiration.
I’m 40 and still living at the family home… I’ve been through a lot, both good and bad, I have my passions and purpose and I am starting to make better money and investing more, and I’m planning my next 5-10 years and I believe I will succeed, great video
Living with a family is one of the best things you can do to save money. Paying rents can really fuck up. Live cheap so can save money to invest.
Absolutely. Moving in with my best friend's mom for a few years while building my businesses was one of the best decisions I ever made.
I just turned 40 years old. Married with one child. Currently on short term disability due to illness. My background is in Cyber. I’m starting my journey to wellness and wealth. I’ve kinda hit rock bottom but this video has inspired me to know I can do it. I wish everyone well wishes…
Manny, psyched to have you here, brother. Glad this video gave you a bit of inspiration. I believe in you, brother.
This is gold, thank you Anthony. My major takeaway is the skills comparison activity between my current self and my millionaire self
I'm psyched you found the skill comparison secton useful!
My takeaway is when he said he “hired someone else to do the work for him” meaning a person, robot, computer etc is making him money and in turn providing valuable sweet time to make the good decisions…Seems to be a common thread among successful people?
Is this the key? Its not in my plans or mindset so often think I am going in the wrong direction and just don’t have that business mindset.
It’s different stage or weakness to overcome for each of us? No one answer…
Skill is huge! I found out more recently. Valuable and practical skill is even better ❤
@@muffsmerino You're on the right track here. What you're talking about is one of the most important concepts for generating wealth: Leverage.
Check out this Twitter thread where I go more in depth:twitter.com/AnthonyVicino/status/1566826745826873345
Also, my most recent video called "These 6 Skills Made Me Millions", talks a bit about the concept.
Took me a long time in life to learn this skill. DOn't worry. You still have time.

Fellow NE Minneapolis resident here. Love your videos, this one specifically. 34 years old, mid life/identity crisis, completely lost and no direction. I have a decent job and no debt so that helps a lot, but have completely lost the zest and ambition for life and to really become the man I’m meant to be. I’m hoping I’ll run into you at Spy house or Boom island park one of these days!! Congratulations on your success and keep up the good work!!

Wow, this is impressive! He actually listed and expanded on actionable steps that anyone can take to improve themselves. No tease, no like and Subscribe, no fluff and no Flex just truth.
Thanks, brother. Glad you found the video helpful. I appreciate you being here.
Wow. Thank you for sharing this. I hit rock bottom years back. I couldn't land a job and became depressed. Then, an ex partner decided to call it quits after years of being together. I was in debt, stressed, unemployed, and broken hearted. To top it off with a cherry on top. I was diagnosed with a breast tumor. To make a long story short. Thank God for God's love and provision. He restored my emotions, blessed me with an amazing job and I'm debt free. This video was an eye opener as I'm now searching on how to be financially independent with multiple streams of income.
You're so welcome. Thanks for sharing a bit of your story.
this video popped up in my feed- absolute gold- thank you for this
You're so welcome!
My fiancé also left me after staying with her family in another state. Living in my car at the time to save for a place of our own, I felt dumb to think that I thought we were on the same page. Since then, I have been trying to bounce back, which I have, but I am still not happy.
In the end, I don't think trying to obtain happiness is the main goal we should strive for. Peace and internal peace is the only thing that matters.
Daniel, really sorry to hear you're going through all that. It sounds like your head is pointed in the right direction. Just keep it that way and keep moving forward.
I agree Happiness is the wrong goal to strive for in life.
There is no true peace, not in this life.
@@crowbar9566 Yes there is. Our egos are what blocks the peace. We are all at peace inherently, but identifying with thought processes ruins that. Hence why meditation or psychedelic therapy can help with that
How are you now after a year ?
Incredible timing. I was finally getting sick and tired of being sick and tired. The last decade of my life has been a living hell after badly injuring my back. I was getting too caught up in the insurance and other battles. I was getting deeper and deeper into debt. The negativity around me was getting out of hand, even from family. I reached a breaking point with the sheer amount of stress and ended up in the hospital with 2 back to back strokes in 2021. Essentially I was forced to change my thinking.
Spring of 2022 I bumped into an old colleague of mine. After describing my physical challenges/limitations from the injury, she mentioned about my mind. I began fine tuning my writing strengths/skills. At the beginning of September 2022 I set a goal for my self of making $400,000.00 in 4 years to pay all debts off. One thing I have done through out 2022 is that I have told no one what I am doing. I don't need to hear more of the negative crap.
I have to stay focused on the goal. So your video is incredibly good timing.
Cut out the negativity and focus on where you're going. Love it!
Great decision…most people don’t want to see you succeed. Tell them nothing even after you have achieved your goals. Good luck!
@@gb3776 Lots of truth in the idea that most of the people in your life don't want to see you succeed. Be careful about who you let into your inner circle.

Thank you so much, Sean. I really appreciate that, brother.
Thank you. I am working so hard on repairing my toxic behaviors with money. One of the most humbling, park you ego moments for me, was when my daughter told us (hubs and I) that she really wanted that $3 item, but didn't want to ask and embarrass me or daddy by asking. That was the kick in the pants I needed. We are 3 years into our journey and not fully out. But I keep going every single day. I definitely get weary and needed to hear some success stories, and a fresh perspective. Thank you. ❤
You are so welcome! Glad to hear you're moving in the right direction. Keep it up!
I am inspired by you Sir. Yup. I am stuck more than $10k in debt, no money in my bank. I have business too but it looks like it is falling apart. I cannot control the market. Had many liabilities.. Your story inspired me to keep going and planning and possibly parking my ego and reset my lifestyle. Thank you! All the best. God bless!
Awesome! You got this!!
hang in there. its when it looks the darkest youll find the light. you only fail when you give up. peace and love.

@@AnthonyVicino Much appreciated!!
Brilliant story, really educational loved the quote "Park your ego at the door and move forward"

That last part is the real key that nobody ever mentions. Invest everything you can, but also definitely make smart investments. Investing everything only works if the investments themselves are good.

Such a simple and beautiful message Great video nicely put together thank you
You are so welcome. Glad you enjoyed it.
Thank you for sharing your story
It is important for me to know that you were not simply in debt to $80K but actually had a lot of infrastructure in place already...
... that instead you had to take stock of your life and build the infrastructure is very important to me
It brings integrity and practicality to your story
Thank you 🙏🏻
Glad you enjoyed!
The great thing about your story and advice is that it is mostly relatable, and solutions to your problems are what most people think about; however, we're paralised by self-doubt and worth. Most importantly, you don't seek to portray yourself genius.
It feels awkward that:
1. I know that I have to be disciplined.
2. I have to put my best skill forward.
3. Fortunately, and this has been confirmed by people around me and I've always been aware of it; that I'm good at communicating; I just have to take an advantage of it at a greater level.
Thank you so much for the effort of making this video and the message itself.
I appreciate that, Jethro! For the record, I am definitely not a genius (nor am I particularly special!).
I love that you have self-awareness around your skills (specifically your strengths). Communication is a powerful skill. Lean into it, bro!

Never saw your content before but loved this video. I’m at the start of my wealth building journey at the age of 40 after a divorce, with a child, and deciding to quit my career in healthcare. It’s very overwhelming but exciting. I would love to get coaching but I’m sure great coaching costs an arm and a leg!!
A great coach is gonna be expensive, but worth it. Honestly, though, leverage all the free resources out there first AND then look for a coach.
Azuz we are around the same age. What ideas or plans do you have. The journey is hard.
@@AnthonyVicino Cost aside, what does a coach do for you? What would they help with on a daily basis? Do they help you grow your current business or put their input? People watch Denzel Washington motivational videos then they wake up the next morning and the drive/dream is gone. Do they hold you accountable? I ask this because I would enjoy a coach but don't know where to look for one that would fit my goal. Thanks!
@@bluecollar7060 Killer questions.
The answer is: It Depends.
For me, I hire coaches to teach me specific skills (not general accountability or whatever).
Example: I started working with a UA-cam coach. I took his lessons and applied them to this video. The result? The channel has grown from 220 subscribers to over 5k in less than a week.
A good coach saves you time and gets you to your results faster. If they're not, they aren't a very good coach.
Here's a video I did on the topic over on Insta:

Thank you for taking time to post your story. I think living with a parent with a goal in mind is absolutely fine! In many cultures, this is normal.
Absolutely!! Some cultures look at living with parents far differently than the average American, which I think is a shame. Living with family was powerful for me for so many reasons.
@@AnthonyVicino My moms parents lived with us. And my dads parents lived with his sister. We babysat for grandkids. Our youngest son still lives with us (23) and now I watch my grandbabies. We are all American. It may be a generational thing too because several of my friends growing up had mixtures of family living in same house. It works. Its called RESPECT.
Cheers!
Your channel is so refreshing.
Thank you!
Anthony, thank you 🙏🏼 You are a true champion and life coach. Everything you said does matter and I have now subscribed to your channel. Im giving myself 3 years
I really appreciate that! Thank you!
Well done !
I am just good or rather very good at my job as a live in carer.
I work 3 continuous days a week and the rest of the time I go to the gym, I walk, I learnt to play piano.
I paid off my 2 bedroom apartment in 16 years and I have been traveling extensively.
I frick out when I have shares going down in price so no more for me.
I am renting my unit in Adelaide and living in Sydney in a nurses accommodation which my rent pays for.
Here I can work with wealthy people.
I take at least two international holidays a year.
Next week I will be leaving for a cruise in the Galapagos , Amazon jungle short break, Peru, Argentina and Brasil tour.
This is a dream even for those living in S America.
I agree it is the best to do what you like
and you can t have everything.
I am 100 per cent happy with my life at 66.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing your story. That's awesome.
what a good speaker and influencer! how very due to my kids, I barely get any sleep.thank you for sharing!
You're welcome, Jordan. I hope you get some sleep here soon!
Very inspirational. I lost funding for my project at 2020 and had to move into a portacabin in a field. Im 65. Ive worked 50 years but cannot get help. I started a You Tube channel and learn new things every week. I have a calendar of things to do, things to learn and things to give away. I have just turned a corner! I expect to be back working in Spring. Thanks for the video its very meaningful
That is awesome! Thanks for sharing!
I would add - the bit about living with your mother - I'd imagine this was the most dangerous part where focus on progress was the most important. Simply because comfort in itself is dangerous to keep you stuck. I'd imagine your sense of drive was the most valuable at this stage of the story
That's a really important observation, Nick. Most people get their first taste of success and let off the gas. Remember, there are no awards for winning the first inning.
@@AnthonyVicino so I just discovered your channel and it's ringing my bells. I wonder if you have content or plan to do content on effective saving strategies, entering the world of stock investment and which one are great dividends stocks... And I wonder what your opinion is on pensions having made enough money to live life "to the end"? Should we save like crazy for retirement? Or is the use of our money better spent in the here and now in the pursuit of not needing a pension? 🤷
But if a tangent and no doubt you're busy! But your thoughts on the above would be super interesting 👀
Yep, if I could go back, I would cut off living with parents , that actually made me lazy more than anything
@@bigdaddy7729 did you figure out your own path in the end?
@Nick Banks yep, unfortunately it means staying away from overbearing mother and following my own instincts
My friend, you got a new subscriber. You made crucial remarks about the best way moving forward. Consistent efford wins the game all the time. Congrats on all the success!
Appreciate it, Tiago. Psyched to have you here!
Absolutely phenomenal breakdown. Mostly because you kept it high level, kept it easy to understand your process throughout and wrapped it up with an incredible quote "it's not easy, but it is simple". What a fucking stellar share, thanks so much for this. You clearly did a huge amount of inner work to make that shift, epic effort!
Thanks for the killer words of support! Seriously appreciated!

I love your realness! You speak in a very relatable and relaxed manner.
Please keep these coming!!!
I'll do my best! THanks for being here, man!
Great story and recovery. The bit for me that was a bit hazy was the quantum leap from window cleaning business to investing hundreds of thousands. Maybe you can do a video to demonstrate that because, as you say, we're not taught that bit.
Concepts and frameworks tend to be more universal than details, but here's a bit more in the weeds for ya (also, for reference, our other channel and podcast (Multifamily Investing Made Simple) goes waaay more into detail on the nuts and bolts of the real estate side.
Also, I blog way more about details on Twitter and LinkedIn for those interested. Here is an excerpt from a recent post:
To get out of that van, I washed windows.
Bought $100 of supplies and charged $5 / window.
I knocked on a dozen doors before somebody answered.
Another dozen before I got my first customer.
That first customer put me in the black, which was great, but I was simply trading my time for money.
So I made my first two hires.
I kept knocking on doors and the other two washed the windows.
Within a month we were booked solid for the next quarter.
So I kept hiring...
And by the end of the first year we had cleaned over $1,000,000 worth of windows.
A task that would've been physically impossible for me alone was easy work for a team of ~15.
Because some people find it hard to believe that a window washing company can clear $1M, here's more math:
We were based in San Francisco where we could charged anywhere between $15-20/window depending how difficult it was to reach the window. Another $5/screen. Power washing was quoted per job, but generally a couple hundred for an hour of work.
$1,000,000 of revenue at an avg $17/window = 58,823 windows
The average house in San Francisco is 3 stories with between 20-30 windows.
58,823 / 25 windows/house = 2,352 homes / year
That's 196 houses/ month.
That means for our crew of 15, each person had to average around 15.5 houses / month (or 4 houses/week/person).
We ran daily squads of 3 that would wash anywhere between 3-8 houses/day.
**These numbers are watered down. We actually did well over $1M in Y2.
I exited this business in year 2, wrote some science fiction and fantasy novels (just search me on Amazon), then got involved in my buddy's manufacturing company producing rock climbing equipment (Escape Climbing).
We scaled that from $300k in revenue to $3M in 3 years.
I exited that in 2019 to found Invictus Capital and Invictus Management. We now own ~$70M worth of apartment buildings in the Twin Cities.
But it all started with a triplex I bought many moons ago for $246,500.
I used an FHA loan (for first time homebuyers) that only required me to bring $7,500 to the closing table.
9 months later that property appraised for $375,000.
I took out a HELOC (Home Equity Line of Credit) to tap into that $125,000 of equity and...
Bought another building.
And another...
(to date we've raised ~$25M)
As for budgeting and what-not...
I'm pathologically frugal (even today I drive a 2015 Toyota Prius C I picked up for $10k).
Happy to go deeper into numbers, but at a certain point I think it stops being helpful.
Again, concepts tend to be universal. Details, not so much
The best explanation of true actual self tranformation I've ever come across. Firstly I applaud that you did it... alone. Secondly I applaud that you made the plan decisions... alone, Lastly your story of taking personal responsibilty for making today a purposeful step for tomorrow at the exlusion of todays comforts is the takeaway that works for me. You traded a few years of comfort for a lifetime of comfort, best trade you'll ever make!
Thanks, John. It's as Dave Ramsey says: "“If you will live like no one else, later you can live like no one else.”
What a coincidence! we just started a window cleaning business and at the same time we live in a van rent free 😁 business is booming considering its our second year still. The only difference is we are not in debt and we love the nomadic lifestyle, loving the vanlife and we love going to campsites, hotels, airbnb… we feel free with our new lifestyle, glad we quit our full time work and let go our ego… ego is a big thing if we manage to let it go then we are free to be whoever we want to be. We are thinking of investing somewhere small in the Philippines as New Zealand is still too pricy for us to start… good luck to everyone! it certainly is fun adventure just enjoy the ride and everything will be alright… the universe/ God will eventually give in if you are persistent and just believe in yourself 😁❤️
That's amazing! Thanks for sharing your story. I love it!!
@@AnthonyVicino your welcome! do you have videos on real estate investing? 😀
@@clairephilip3259 Sure do. We've got another channel and podcast called Multifamily Investing Made Simple with 300+ episodes:
www.youtube.com/@MultifamilyInvestingMadeSimple
@@AnthonyVicino thx for the video. But what if i know i wanna be wealthy but i dont know with what thats the issue..and i only get older with doing nothing…
My goal is to eliminate money as a need, a thought, a dependency or anything at all of significance. I never want to ever think about it, handle it, chase it, owe it, need it, want it, or even think about it at all ever again.
That's a great goal. love it!
Well said ! God bless 🙏 you

I'm single mum and was 1 year without income after birth of my baby and even with debt, just working to clear it and fulfill my dreams too, as a woman before ewas actually easy to earn money but having small baby it is another level but many women made it so 8 can too 💪
You got this!
Thanks Tony, for sharing your own experience and how you managed to grow personally and financially. Great job
Glad you enjoyed it!
Excellent content. I'm in the process of starting over, and have applied most of these principles.....but I love what you said about mentorship.....I started that too. New subscriber.
Starting over can be tough. You got this! Go get it.
Well I feel f-in inspired! I'm in debt, I have a job, I've started my own business. I have the same goal as you once did, after I expand my business I'm going to hire someone to do the things I'm doing now and invest my money in real estate. Getting closer to it each day!
God bless!
