[Music] hello today i would like to talk about how i retired at age 27 and managed to become financially free and independent mass has to go on put it over your face okay so can i give you this because they know me [Music] no i know but i don't know you yeah [Music] [Music] i'd like to share my life philosophies when it comes to money and financial freedom and building online businesses something i've noticed over the years is that lots of people always ask in my comment section how come he doesn't have to work how come he doesn't get a job and how does he pay for his lifestyle so basically i've been retired now since 2017. that was the last time i had a proper job where i was an employee at a company and i had a contract and they paid me a monthly wage and that was the last time i was ever employed by a company so you might be asking how have i been paying for things for the last four years if i haven't had a job in the last four years well that is a very interesting question so i started my journey on the path of entrepreneurship at a fairly young age i think i started my first online business when i was about 18 or 17. when other people my age were out clubbing and drinking alcoholic drinks and having a good time with ladies i was working really really hard in order to find out how can i make money using the internet and my skills i had to sacrifice my youth and my teenage years when i could have been out there clubbing and drinking and having a good time as well i decided to sacrifice all of that in order to pursue my dreams of becoming an online entrepreneur and one of my life mottos that i stick by even to this day is if you don't make sacrifices for your dreams your dreams become sacrifices and i learned from a very young age that i didn't like having to live my life by other people's schedule i didn't like having to wake up early in the morning to go and go to a place that i had to either study in or work in i wanted to have ultimate freedom i wanted to be able to live my life how i wanted to live it i saw all these other people waking up early in the morning and getting into their cars and being stuck in traffic jams and having to go to work and be there 9 00 am every morning and i thought to myself i don't really want to live like that i want to live my life how i want to live it i want to wake up at 10 a.m in the morning i don't want to be stuck in a traffic jam i don't want to have to go outside and go to some office if i didn't really want to so at the young age of 18 i decided that i wanted to have online businesses that would bring in revenue for me my biggest dream in life has always been to be able to make money from the comfort of my bedroom and my computer and 14 years later i guess you could say that i am enjoying the fruits of my harvest no i don't know your holiday no i know but i don't know you you heard about me no okay so i'm super i won't try to play with this i first of all i'm never i don't know why i wanted what exactly is [Applause] what do you mean you ruined your whole the life i ruined my life because oh i i i just want to die no don't go there what do you do for a living i do for a living i'm so [ __ ] successful i'm famous what are you doing huh what do you do where i do pranks from topless girls i'm talking let me go get you some water let me get your water give me a minute my first ever online business was an ebay shop that i personally set up and built from the ground up and it wasn't easy in the beginning i was living with my parents at the time and i wasn't working any other jobs my dad would come home from work tired and stressed out and i remember he used to get annoyed with me because i wasn't really making a lot of money from my ebay shop and one time he came home and said i'm fed up that i have to work so long and so hard every day whilst you just sit in your bedroom making 50p an hour and when he said that to me i just i felt so sad and it really hurt me and even to this day i remember it very clearly i found it very upsetting because it was my dream to be able to make money off the internet and even though my ebay shop wasn't making loads of money i felt proud that i managed to find a way to make some profit off of the internet and he just wasn't very supportive or encouraging i remember when i worked at the petrol station and i told my co-worker that i wanted to make youtube videos and i wanted to make vlogs and he laughed at me and mocked me he said it was a silly idea and it would never make any money some people are just so negative they'll try and bring you down they'll laugh at your ideas and it's it's like they just want you to be stuck in a job like they are the hardest thing i had to deal with was just constantly being put down and told that it's going to fail it's not going to work you should give up and get a job and i ignored everyone and i did my best to ignore all of this negativity and yeah lots of things did fail the ebay shop failed many of my other projects and ideas in the past also failed i failed at so many things but i never let the dream of making money off the internet slip away from me i was around the age of 28 when i first realized that i don't really feel like i need to get a job again and i don't really feel like i need to have a job in order to survive and i was able to utilize my skills that i had built up and acquired over the years to to fund my lifestyle and it's been a really long journey it's been a long long grind since i was 18 and i had that dream to become financially independent by making money off the internet it's taken 10 years to turn that dream into a reality and i've been living that reality for four years now oh jokes aside actually believe in your dreams this pictures are not fake i don't need to go to college when people try to stop you from your dreams tell them to go [ __ ] themselves why because you know how many of my best friends told me you're gonna be a youtuber you're gonna do this prove them all wrong what are they doing right now with their lives seven years later or eight years later since they started same jobs living with their parents if you're born and raised muslim your parents and grandparents are muslim at least your beliefs have a name at least they have lines and limits everyone can recognize and you can therefore identify analyze and rebel against what does it mean to believe in living your best life what does it mean to believe in yourself these vague notions people commit to them without knowing what it is they commit to i just think it's so sad that we live in a society where so many people would prefer to bring people down instead of trying to build them up and you've just got to ignore them and cut them out even if it's your own family or your own friends if people are having a negative impact on your dreams then you've just got to cut them loose and i'm personally really glad that i never gave up on my dreams i never gave up on the idea of becoming an internet entrepreneur i'm just so glad that i don't have to go back to the petrol station and do night shifts again whether you look around youtube or whether you look around the people you know directly in your own life really ask yourself how many of these people are still gonna be alive just five years from now i don't want to talk about it i don't really ever want to talk about it but i feel like i have to address it because if i don't address it you guys are going to be like what the [ __ ] you literally just made a video talking about getting a house getting married and having kids so like where did he go [Music] i don't know and honestly this condition some form of narcissism within me like a grandiosity and the excitement and just this this vicious coldness and the chaos uh it was it was both been having issues with depression lately for the last uh like couple months i've fallen into that trap of thinking you know if i get something if i buy something if i make more money i'll uh fill some sort of void inside myself the next toy the next video game i try to find something that will stimulate me to like get me out of this you know a suicidal depression it's been a while since i've had depression that's been this debilitating today is the very first day that max has ever seen sunshine i suffer from borderline personality disorder which is probably the worst thing in the world and i [ __ ] hate it and i wish i could change it and in september i started taking a new cocktail including trazadone sipotix in the morning which is like an ssri what's called a rippy prezzo [Music] you
