    1. @@khalilcarter1605 If you actually watched the video you would have find out that’s one of the things to not do ๐Ÿ˜ญ

  2. A common shred of advice I’ve been given by people I know that are extremely wealthy is that you’ll never become a multi-millionaire solely working for someone else (i.e a 9 – 5)

    1. And a dash of “luck.” Every wealthy person can point to the exact moment in their life that opened the door for them to be where they are now. Usually, it is simplified down to “right place right time” because nobody recognizes the hard work and long hour grinds that they were making.

    2. Hi, everyone needs a bit of luck, you could say getting bullied by my manager was my piece of luck. Without that I may still be where I was if I had not been strong enough to leave. Luck comes in all sorts of ways, you have to put yourself in a position to take advantage of it when it comes. Good luck. MT ๐Ÿ˜Ž

  3. Pay closely attention to detail because millionaire like this man have more experience than most of us.

  4. I donโ€™t even need to be that rich, I just want to retire pretty comfortably as early as possible so I can enjoy doing whatever I want

    1. The truth is you will need to have a minimum of 1-2million to do that. Whether you consider that rich or not I can’t say

  5. Excellent video. I work in the HVACR industry and I feel like you were speaking directly to me. Thank you!

  6. Words canโ€™t express how powerful this video is Mark, some of your best work yet and one of the most down to earth wealth building and life advice videoโ€™s Iโ€™ve seen. Loved every second

    1. Wealth creators are leaving the UK in droves, hence tax yields are dropping. Successive Govt’s printing money along with the deindustrialization of the country has led us to this position.

  7. This video really opened my eyes! Itโ€™s so easy to get caught up in working just for the paycheck or trying to impress others with a luxury lifestyle. I love how you break down the importance of building skills and gaining equity instead. It’s a reminder that the real game is about long-term growth, not quick wins. Thanks for the practical advice and for keeping it real. Definitely going to focus more on learning high-income skills and less on the flashy stuff! ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ’ช

  8. I started to think about retiring when I was 21.
    Retired at 55 and have loads of money because I did the right thing!

    1. โ€‹@@PKM4MC Why do you think he owes you that? Is he secretly your father? How about you offer _him_ something in return? How can you help _him?_ Don’t be such a grifter.

  9. This was so informative! What skills should someone develop to increase their earning potential online?

  10. My question is: How much money is enough for a rich person, and what is the time to buy without a real self control

  11. 13:30 Best part of the video. Need a reason to watch the whole thing ๐Ÿ”ฅ

  12. This 2025 economy, with inflation still biting and housing costs through the roof, it’s bad for me not knowing what to avoid is just as dangerous as not knowing what to do. Some of us out here are still falling for high yield scams and short term hype. That’s how i lose $100K overnight.

    1. You have said all ๐Ÿ‘Œ. One of the biggest wealth killers right now is chasing โ€œget rich quickโ€ plays. I know a guy who dumped $250K into some AI startup tokens based on hype from a Discord server. Heโ€™s now trying to sell his house to stay afloat. ๐Ÿ˜ฉ Very bad situation.

    2. This is the reason why Iโ€™m staying FAR away from if I want to actually build wealth.

    3. Chasing overnight success. Quick flips and pump and dumps are fun until you’re holding the bag ๐Ÿ˜….

    4. Lifestyle inflation. Upgrading your car every year isn’t wealth, itโ€™s vanity debt if only some many of us can see it this way.

    5. Ignoring taxes. If you’re not thinking about capital gains, Uncle Sam will come knocking and you know what that means, is not a good one.
