    I'm a woman here, I'm hearing Kevin tell these men what they need to do to get up there at a high level which is challenging and hard. Yet, I hear all the women on his show get pissed because he's telling them to keep a healthy weight, take care of themselves and be kind and cooperative, which is Not hard or challenging compared to what men need to do.

      I guess that's right in a sense. I think the difference is men know from the beginning that women don't even want to look at our dusty asses and we have to work to become "attractive" to have the confidence to even talk to a woman. Whereas men freely give their attention to women, so it's news to women that they might have to work on themselves when they get free attention all the time.

      Thank you for acknowledging the struggle of the average man and what it takes for us to be exceptional. Judging by your attitude you are an above average woman. On the bright side, with so many modern women being too weak to stand out, it only means the women who truly put in the work shine that much brighter. We all have work to do, man or woman, we just need the self awareness and hard work to get there. Best of luck in your life!

It wasn’t a tornado, but I stayed hunkered down in a gas station until the hail and the 80+ mile per hour winds blew over. Shut the interstate down also, because semi trucks were blown over.

      Greetings Brother, i was this exact description at 31. Im now 32 and have improved tremendously within a year. First observe your talent, look at the resources you have right infront of you and capitalize on those. Seek practical advice from people who have actually done what you want to do, you save yourself alot of time if the advice given is sound and if its not worth it then you will know quickly enough to find something else that is. In all things remember this quote from Albert Eisenstein "Accept things as they are, and not what you would wish them to be". Seek reality and practicality as much as possible. If you can go to a trade school the skills you get there can improve your earning potential tremendously, i was blessed to live in Jamaica at a time where so much training is free. I am not where i want to be but im figuring it out everyday, be realistic, practical and have patience, lay a brick everyday and you will have a wall before you know it and be prepared to take a beating, the climb out the pit is brutal my guy.

    I’m 26 years old. Became a physician at 25. Before that, worked 3 jobs while going to college full time, never went on social media. Never went to parties. Had some moments of sadness during the grind because I felt I was missing out on the “college experience.” Looking back, I would do the same all over again. By 28/29 years old, I’ll have a 300k a year salary. My goal at 35 is to open a thriving practice. Btw, didn’t have my first car until 21 years old and took public transportation everywhere. I’d be lying if I said I did everything on my own. Building connections where you can have assistance along the journey saved me a lot. If you want it bad enough, you’ll stop at nothing. Now people only see my finished product. Work hard AND smart to the younger guys in high school and college. Avoid the drugs and parties. I studied 10-12 hours a day on the weekends and Fridays in college. You got this.

    I came back to this video as a singled woman with no children and will soak up all the information from past videos. Godfather, I did not grow up with a solid male figure, and you filled that needed space of guidance my father failed to teach me. I am heartbroken that the news is true, and hope that you rest in eternal peace. Thank you for putting yourself through stress to teach us hard headed women how to be accountable for our decisions. And thank you for believing in us still until your untimely passing. I will continue pass these videos on to my friends and family, and hopefully they’ll still be here when I have children of my own. Condolences to your family, you will be missed dearly. 💔💔💔

      Yup. This is my third time listening to it recently. I came back to it before the news the other day too. The algorithm knew. This is literally the video that came on next randomly after some of his more recent stuff mostly focusing on women, and was like hey men, get your shit together. I kinda knew he did that content at some point but didnt go looking much. Anyways, it changed my life in a couple months. Like he said, he turned his life around in a year. I turned mine around a couple months after telling myself enough is enough. 60 hours a week is my minimum. 60k a year is just a start. You already have a lot of the other stuff in order, but your pockets aint right as a man, and its why your life hasnt been as right as it could or should be as a man.
      When that first check rolls in, in 2 weeks in the thousands, imma have to pour a lil brown for kevin. Maybe i wouldve still stumbled into good fortune as usual, but thats my problem. Not just stumbling into good fortune, but directing myself into it. I think he greatly accelerated my process in one drive home from a mediocre part time job i had, crushing on an unavailable woman to seeing the light of happiness and potential like i havent seen in a while.
      Too bad i couldnt drop a quick 100 dollar donation and thank him. Just keep these videos up until the sun burns out. Let me go back and listen, then relisten, then interpret.

    After the pandemic hit, I lost my job at a Wendy's. Focused on college, got a number of certifications while going to school. I just got older (I'm 1 yr into college and just graduated HS) and I'm doing all I can to get that next job.
    Kevin is 100 percent right. I am dying on the inside cause I need to go back to school but since I haven't been making money for a year, I don't know if I will get my degree on time.
    Edit 1: Just applied to 100+ jobs (I apply to about 50+ jobs every weekend day, and about 10 jobs per weekday while I take courses throughout the day). Hopefully, I start working soon(and not at Wendy's this time)
    Edit 2: I think I did it. I'm at least 500 applications in, and I finally got the job offer. Hell YES!!
    Edit 3: I've not been posting updates because....YES! I got the job. I'll be moving to NY in June, right after I turn 21. It's a full time position with benefits and a great salary. I already started so I've been getting paid for the last 4 weeks.
    More news: Still with the company. We just set up new locations in TX and NJ so I've been on the road a lot. Balancing work and college has been tricky😆

Respectfully, you lost me. What you're missing is not how much you earn, but HOW you earn it. Capital gain tax rates are lower than income tax rates (for now, and if investments are kept > 1 year). Using earnings to acquire things that don't offer any return in order to appear a certain way to others, in my opinion, is a slave mentality. The key of my statement is buying to keep appearances. I have LLC's, dividend earning investments, tax deferred retirement accounts, rentals, NO consumer debt, titles to every vehicle in my driveway and garage, and a primary residence on the west coast with a ~30% LTV. Yes, I have a day job that I enjoy but I don't NEED the job to support the lifestyle my family has become accustomed to. A significant portion of my 9-5 earnings are from RSUs and options (I typically defer some of my salary for tax reductions). The plan is to retire with primary residence in Nevada or Florida. Since I have rentals and LLCs (and a competent CPA) most of my expenditures are write-offs. Uncle Sam doesn't have his hand in my pockets, ya dig? That in my opinion is contrary to a slave mindset. I wish more of our Brothers and Sisters focused more on wealth rather than appearing wealthy. So let me know how my approach isn't "educated". Not trying to sound pretentious.

He's 100% correct when he says the world won't fee sorry for a man; it's geared to show empathy to women only. I almost broke down in tears when he talked about the Parrot - I bought my kids a really cute Maine Coon kitten just before our divorce (my daughter loved him) however, my Ex thought it would be "best for everyone" if she gave it up for adoption. My kids were crushed. The worst part is she simply left him at the local shelter in the middle of the night in his carry cage. Women can be very evil and vindictive.

    From a psychological standpoint some people are more reserved than others , hence introversion. And it is apparent that naturally social men lead the scene of any setting. However, most introverts including myself use this as an excuse to not play in the social game and that it is too taxing to participate. I got news for you guys, we might not be "naturally" outgoing but we can improve our social skills and take more control of the interactions we participate in. As a man it's important to hone your social skills if we want to develop confidence in our abilities. Message to all "introverts", learn the game and then play it your way, don't be a hermit. Good luck boys.

    29 turning 30 in three months, highly in debt, living with a roommate, went back to finish business study and recently added a coding course with that. With everything in life I would say I'm a 7 (looks, intellect, EQ etc) on the financial front I'm way to much behind (like minus 3). This video has been a eye opener in a lot of ways, I will read this comment back when I'm a solid 8. See you in 3 years.

    With respect, Kevin. Men need to be called to a higher standard, we’re meant to become more than what we are and you’re one of few content creators challenging men “black or white” to grown up, and take accountability for where we’re at and the results we produce. Men are like trucks, we drive better under a load, and we need to impress that load upon ourselves. Good on you, and I wish we had more of this!

    I’m in my 40s, living like a dusty man to get my plan up. Had to restart after 7 years with no income just living of savings. It’s hard to start again, and the older you get the harder it is, but you can do it, it ain’t to late. By the end of this coming year I should have 4 rental properties running (currently have two rented and two getting renovated). Delayed gratification is your friend.

    Working 55 to 60 hours a week with 2 jobs helps a whole lot. With only one day off, I make it count. In addition to that, I work out 5 days out of the week early in the morning and I'm happy. I still strive to move up to a better position in one of my jobs - line cook, prep and inventory all with a dollar raise.
    Hard work and dedication is key. Keep grinding.
