It's funny that you mention quitting smoking by looking at your identity differently. I can personally vouch for this because that's how I quit smoking. Back in 2004 (April 14th, to be exact), I noticed that all the quit-smoking aids (gum, patches, lozenges, etc) all have a 3-month goal, where you scale down your use as you progress. At the end of those 3 months, according to the program, you get to say, "I'm a non-smoker," provided you were successful. I realized that on Day 1, I'm ALREADY a non-smoker! All I have to do then is decide each day to continue my streak so that I can keep saying that. I still used the nicotine gum and some Wrigley's spearmint, but that paradigm shift in my thinking changed everything. All the other times I tried to quit, but when my thinking changed, I succeeded. In 2024, I'll be 20 years nicotine-free. It really works! 👍
Your age can be a perfect age to start building your future and building wealth. Just have to invest in legit financial institutions and do it consistently. It will surprise you years from now, how amazing it is for you to have started at this age.
Good job kid, my cousin started investing in index ETFs when he was around the same age as you. He used to invest the amount he got as gifts and later from his part time jobs. 6-7 years down the line he has accumulated quite a bit. Don’t take unnecessary risks from what you see on the internet and stick to index funds
You are young and it good you are thinking about this, teach your friends and don't quit. However you are young, don't hold back on life, enjoy as much as you can, money is also a tool, not the only thing to look at. Knowledge and love, kindness and curiosity create our profound experiences and make your life worth it. And sometimes these cost money.
this isnt just financial advise tips. this entire video basically can be applied to anything in life and as long as you desire to be a better version of yourself, this video is absolute pure gold.
Two more advices to all of this from someone who started transformation kinda based on the book a couple of years ago: 1. Do not tend to think change is easy. Admit that its a challenge. 2. Try not to rush and be patient/learn to be patient. This is key!
I'm 18, saving 1500$/70% of my paycheck every month. Living Home and driving a small cheap diesel van. If I'm om schedule I'm buying a house w/ rental before i turn 20 years old. 1000$ tax free every month will pay off the electricity, internet and mortgage interest... Making the house basically free, adding on to the value going up.
Top Moments 5:34 Do not set a goal to have $20k by end of year. Ask: what habits do I need to ensure I have a huge amount by end of year? 7:00 purpose of a goal is to win the game. But a system is to keep you playing. [ If you want to keep playing] 16:00 80% same 20% explore. Keep what works, but also change.
starting a business is very difficult and impossible if you cannot create value in the market. once you create value and be able to solve problems, That is your success... it doesn't matter what business you run, you will succeed. a fellow creator :)) subbed
Re the habits/identity thing, the way I see myself is that I define what habits I am going to adopt, but I don't see those habits as part of my identity. Instead I see my identity as someone who keeps to the habits I've decided upon. It works.
Just started watching your channel and just wanted to say your awesome and I absolutely love your videos and personality. Thank you for all the hard work you put into all these videos!!
You are one of the intelligent and best to get the summary of different books. Can you please make a different video on the summary of the book Warren Buffett and the art of stock arbitrage by Mary Buffett. And Thanks.
You'd have to produce a lot more content for me to be able to watch one of your videos every time I had a cup of coffee lol Seriously, though, this one was great. Loved the point about SMART goals. I use them in the classroom sometimes, going to stop today!
I appreciate the support a ton Prakhar Gupta! I know there are some other great videos on this one that came before mine, and I hope that the financial angle makes this a bit different.
Me personally I think occasional success is easy but to repeat that success everyday consistently is the difference between a real dependable system and a less dependable 1
💫This video on Atomic Habits by James Clear is an absolute game-changer when it comes to improving your finances. His insights into the power of small habits that compound over time can lead to massive improvements in our financial lives. By focusing on the small actions we take each day and making them more intentional and productive, we can achieve our financial goals with ease. I'm curious to know what habits you've implemented in your own financial life as a result of watching this video. Have you seen any improvements in your financial situation as a result of these changes? Let's start a conversation in the comments and share our experiences and insights. Remember, the key to success is often found in the small, consistent actions we take each day. Let's learn from James Clear and improve our finances by 3495% (or even more!) through the power of atomic habits.👏
Hello, I have to say I’ve watched all of your videos and I’m starving for more right now 😂. I want to ask you if you could do a video showing how to value a bank or how Warren Buffett would look at a bank and other financial institutions. Thank you!
Hey Partido Liberal, thanks a ton for the support! I have to admit that I do not consider banks to be within my circle of competence at this moment. It's one of the few sectors that I've never bought any stocks in. However, that might change over time. As you are hinting towards, Buffett has had a great success buying them, so I may have to change my mind at some point.
Last year I checked how much I spent for cold drinks and burgers it blasting 3600$ . So I cut those expenses and invested that money in different beverages companies. So people keep drinking beverages and give me profit 😎.
I have an old 401k. I've never transferred it because for awhile it was doing better than the new employers firm. now 6 years later I'm 2k in the hole. I'll be lucky at the ten year mark if it's back to where it was in 2016. I'm not believing these returns anymore
For me this book is kinda ok.not bad. Some ideas are slightly contradicted some other books. like "7habits"that preferred goals but this book preferred systems. But I dont follow any self improvement books anyway. Thank you for a summary bro.

Great video, I think far too many are under the false impression that you need a lot of money to begin investing. It is the biggest myth and honestly the setback for most. If someone just started buying say a broad market index like VTI or VTSAX and dollar cost averaged in weekly or monthly, what a world of a difference it would make. $10000 not required... the willingness to start and change mindset along with spending/saving habits, REQUIRED!
Nice videos, I'm a new subscriber. The key points of the book are well summarized. The aggregation of marginal gains (#1) is such a fallacy though. Just think about it... it is impossible to have a compounding 1% return on a habit forever. There are always diminishing marginal returns to an action. You will make the easiest 1% change first and then it will become harder and harder to keep finding the extra 1%. Temper your expectations people.
Is it though? Say you invest 100 bucks a month now. With this theory, improve next month to 101 bucks, month after that 102,1 etc. How can you keep this up at 200 bucks, 300 bucks etc? Should you take on a side hustle, ask for a raise, cancel your cable subscription? I find it a refreshing way of thinking
@@LisetteZ3 I don't understand your point. You are cherry picking some nice numbers. Say you make a very good living and you invest 10000 bucks a week now keep increasing by 1 percent per week. In 10 years you will need to invest 1770000. You went from 520000 per year invested to 92 million per year invested. Maybe you should start a side hustle?!?
@@markhnatiuk7857 am I the only one cherrypicking? Do you actually invest 10.000 per week or beneath 1000 per month. If the latter, I think it would be more beneficial to you to think about how you can improve 1% per month, even if you don’t let it compound. The mind makes you think more easily how to improve 1 percent than 10% or even 100%. If you want to think about it in a mathematical way, you are totally right. But if you want to think of it in a psychological and practical way, this advise is brilliant to get you moving in the right direction
By not making it compound, I mean, if you currently invest 1000 bucks a month, try to add 10 bucks a month and keep it at 10 extra bucks every month. A year from now you will invest 1120 a month which is a lot better than doing nothing and keeping it at 1000
@@markhnatiuk7857 Yeah, because when it comes to beginner investors, everybody starts with $10000 a week. What a great example. Anyone can use dumb examples like that: Starting investing with $1 every day, and increase by 1% every day. By the end of the first year you will be investing ~$37 per day, by the end of the second year you'll be investing ~$1400 *every day*. Make compounding interest work for you, not against you
really good content, well versed in literacy, just wondering, how do you read so many books in a short period of time? I have read like 2 books during my one month holiday, namely science of happily ever after and seven principles of making marriage works and I am not sure how to read so much if I had to include studying and working time(in the future). I have also read book summaries to make my life easier.
Cheers! I read the books on my phone (Kindle app) so that I can retreat to them whenever there's downtime and I feel I have the energy for it. You can combine the texts with audio from Audacity, which helps me to stay concentrated, and I think it enhances learning too, getting input from both visuals and sound simultaneously.

Tjenare Svensken! Jag har jobbat två jobb över sommaren och sparat allt jag har kunnat utöver hyra, räkningar och jag har precis blivit av med alla mina skulder. Jag tycker också om att investera och har gjort det i över 4 års tid med positivt framgång. Har du några tips på hur du tror sveriges ekonomi kommer att klara sig under våra nuvarande omständigheter (financiell krash, kr*g, ect).
