@@iamhereblossom1588hey man, I’m not the OP but sounds like you’re into something very niche, does it pay you enough to compensate for the lack of job opportunities? If not id say web dev and distributed systems is a proven sub-field. It’s very competitive but if you’re good and master high level thinking you’re going to swim in opportunity..
Software engineer here too, six years under the belt. Ponder very well the companies you want to work for and the branches of development you pick. Corporate is full of crap, webdev requires fast, cheap development, cutting costs to the bone and probably using frameworks you don't understand. I worked in consultancy and ran the hell out of there in six months, then wrote GUIs for mech eng simulations. That was much more interesting, slow paced, we rolled out a version every six months. But it was getting corporate as the company was growing - all that unbearable Agile nonsense, hours assigning points to stories instead of fixing bugs that were lurking everywhere. Now I'm a freelance webdev and I learned the hard way (i.e. grinding for almost no money because I wanted to build things the right way™) the value thing. There's only one true way: when it works as expected and is as cheap as you can. I believe embedded work and low level work must be fine - the most hardware oriented the industry, the better, since engineers become cheap compared to the damages they can make. In webdev you're pretty much the entire cost, so they'll push you and try to pay you less. Also, no one around you understands tech but they still take it for granted, it requires soft skills (and antiacids). My advice would be that if you want to broaden your horizons, you must be very careful when choosing who you're gonna work with. If you can find experienced people that don't change their minds every second day because they read an article and that base their decision on sound, down-to-earth and sensible practices, go for it: you'll learn on the job as well as in your free time instead of having to use your holidays to make any advancement in your skills and knowledge (and be treated like the slow kid if you even try to think about different ways to solve a problem instead of half assing it like everybody else). Software development is hard and demanding. I studied electronics at a technical high school, got a Bachelor's degree in software and electronics, worked for the last six years studying A LOT and only this year I feel I started to get it for real. (P.S.: OOP is bad, go for procedural)

Even though I engage in investing, I feel disheartened by my lack of expertise in assessing the performance of individual companies and determining the optimal timing for stock purchases. The erosion of my financial reserves due to inflation adds to my concerns. At this point, I require precise market trajectory information, but I find myself unsure about the appropriate course of action.
@@Pconradsmith Considering the prevailing economic climate, I recommend seeking a mentor or a knowledgeable advisor who can provide guidance and support.
I wholeheartedly concur, which is why I opt to entrust the day-to-day decision-making to an investing coach. With their specialized knowledge and extensive research, it is highly unlikely for them to underperform. Their expertise is centered around harnessing the asymmetrical potential of risks while also employing measures to safeguard against unfavorable outcomes. I have been collaborating with an investment coach for more than two years

4 years ago I was unemployed, broke, rethinking my uneducated blue collar life. Today I’ve been learning hvac for 4 years, started in building maintenance, on track to make 115k this year as a dedicated hvac tech, interviewing for sales roles making 200k+ annual, 70k in Bitcoin in cold storage, wife and two babies chilling at home. Just got prequalified for our first mortgage. Going to start a home services business in a few years. Opening my heart to God taught me to open my ears to people around me. Actually Listening and helping others with value, quality, and integrity keeps blessings and prosperity flowing into our life.
First congrats. Second - go on your own. If you can generate $1mil for a company (that's how you get $200k) why don't you skip the middle man? If you made $1mil a year, you wouldn't need a mortgage and BAM now you have your bitcoin and additional cold storage money in your house value while living rent free...Do your thing and derisk your life, YOU can do it!
@@designerelise thank you. I’m going to start working on getting my mechanical license this fall. I have rough drafts of a go to market strategy and branding for my home services business. I don’t plan to work for others much longer but I am still very green so learning as fast as I can.
I was kind of talking to my mom about this yesterday. I’ve had two days in a row where I encountered rude customer service workers. One of which lost my business just by the way he talked to me on the phone. Also, I worked at a 5 star hotel during the final phase of taxis being replaced by rideshare apps. I learned a lot about taxi services, more specifically, I was able to see the reasons why Uber and others were able to come in and take over. The taxi industry got lazy and comfortable. The taxi driver’s lives revolved around this work, but they all just thought of it as driving people from point A to point B. They lacked a sense of pride or a desire to deliver on the necessary customer service aspect of the job. Their AC wouldn’t be working in the summer. Their heat wouldn’t work in the winter. Some of them knew zero English so it would result in awful situations for the customers. They would smoke in their cars, live in their cars (and leave it messy), and not shower or bath for a long time. They would swear at customers, threaten them, intimidate them into giving them tips. The list goes on, and it all seemed to reach a boiling point that allowed the industry to get beaten out by the right competitors at that time. If you’re in customer service and only think of your job as something more along the lines of maybe just one or two goals (I.e. help the customer do this or that), then you’re going about it incorrectly. You’re wrong. You need to learn how to talk to and treat people with respect. You’re getting paid to, not only help them out, but also make them feel important to the business or company to help establish great terms.
Exactly, service jobs used to thrive on pleasing the customer. The customer is always right... a philosophy, designed to create a ongoing relationship with the customer. Reputation. Honesty. Value. Those words used to mean something.
Most influencers and millionaires I see these days are full of fishy stuff, selling smoke and lies through social media and this is what new generations are fed on. Thank you for saying it like it is, you get things done and you do it with effectiveness and care, adding value for people and making a name for yourself, and that's how it's done!

I’ve realized over the years that when a guy with a cigarette in his hand is telling you something, it’s typically good advice that came from his own life experience. This video was no different.
This is good advice whether you are self-employed or not.; Always "under promise and over deliver". Some of the younger people I've worked with don't get this and expect success with no effort. One has to put in the work and provide service and value. Great video. Thanks.
This is the most valuable video available on TH-cam on this subject. No “SHAMWOW” level energy, goofy music, or half cooked 2nd hand platitudes from 25yr olds with 2 months of experience… just distilled applicable truths that have stood the test of time. Well done sir!

I am honestly grateful to have found your channel especially at the beginning of my career. What’s funny is that what you were saying about the 4 years with small company, and then going commission and trying out industrial is exactly what I was thinking a year ago when I started plumbing. Wish you the best bro, I hope everyone who’s grinding makes it. It takes time, but it’s possible.

It is because of Mindshare, Brand Perception, Marketing. Just have a look at these huge tech corporations, spending millions of dollars each year into research under human psychology. It is all to feed into Marketing. And it pays off, which is why they keep doing it.

Congrats on your commitment on the long run sir ! My late dad entered the plumbing trade also in his early 20s (22 years old) and committed to provide integrity and value to his one man business, the hard work paid off and provided for us 4 children to give us all a comfortable childhood and put us all through college.

This is the kind of plumber you want. I can tell he could do anything. I was a plumber for 42 years. Went through the same progression. Apprentice to Journeyman to Foreman and then running my own business. This guy's right. You must be the best at what you do and aggressive towards solving problems. Get in, get done, get paid, get out. Repeat. It ain't easy but it works.
What I love about you man is you said you were going to do it, and you did it. Most people talk about doing it and never fucking do it. It’s another thing to actually say it, and get it done.
Well, i can say this: I'm selling small electronic products (think usb sticks, adapters, etc) - and i sell these items dirt cheap. Cheaper than my competitors on ebay and amazon. Plus, I always put the customer first. Ultra fast shipping, customer friendly return policy and always an open ear for questions, concerns, problems. So, i am cheap AND have good service, but let me tell you, whenever i ask a customer why he bought from me, the answer is ALWAYS "because you have sold 10.000+ items and you have 99.9% positive reviews". Never ever have i been told "because you're the cheapest".
@@LfunkeyA No. Nothing is actually free but if you really want to dispense a good or service as "free", it should be reserved to those who have a sense of appreciation and will return that gesture with higher interest of shared success or else it'll be a total loss for you. Be generous but don't be stupid. Do things for free if you feel like it will serve both you and your client. Don't do it if they're stupidly unaware and it'll come to you as a net less.
I got some good jobs you can do then. Don't be ridiculous, it's about the money in this society. It doesn't matter how good of a job you do or how much pride you take in it, if the money isn't there you're just wasting your time. It's naive to think most people will " return that gesture with higher interest of shared success", haha whatever that means. Most people will gladly take advantage of you if you let them these days.
you're a legend man, this is the type of stuff people need to hear not the classic go to college work for someone else, pay your bills and be happy. Thank you for this man
I like your approach it is a value add to the society as a whole and it delivers tangible goods and services. Sadly many young people make money selling training , training for subjects they don’t understand or they sell coaching in Witchcraft, manifesting and other spiritual nonsense. People want a miracle not work and reality they are also focused on themselves not adding value to others.
This is good stuff right here. I'm a software engineer and all of this applies directly to my industry too, especially about solving the problem. These are core business principles that I've also seen lead to both success for your business and your customers. Nothint better than a win win situation.

Yep, where are the get rich tips for middle-aged people? It takes time to get wealthy, but you’re only approaching 40, you still have plenty of time to gain financial success. Keep doing what you’re doing now and still be poor at 50, or get to work now and reap the rewards at 50 and beyond.
My neighbor has been in prison twice for bar fights, lost everything. Lived in his truck....He decided to stop being a douche - Followed exact steps you lay out 3yrs ago. He now has two mowing crews and landed his first $100k a year job. Dude is gonna clear $150k this year off $400k gross sales.
I would enjoy hearing more. Somewhere along the way he got some help. Also the fact that he went to prison worked heavily in his favor simply because everyone loves the "changed man" script. If you have that as a backstory, a common mainstream trope, then it makes people want to support you more. I'm sure there is more to the story. Come up stories are always interesting because I try and learn from them.
@@stardustsimulation He hasn't shared he went to prison with anybody. You want that known when doing landscaping of a rich person's house while they're on vacation. Prison did not help him "come up" He had no vehicle, no license, no home etc and in 3yrs built a mini empire
@RealLifeFinance I didn't say tell the customers. I'm saying when someone has that background they can leverage it because people love the whole I was a criminal and changed my life around trope. And people like that will get more support in the mainstream. So did he just walk out the prison and magically a truck appeared and the equipment? I am interested in details about people's stories. Often time stories are exaggerated and people use hyperbole. There are also outliers too don't get me wrong but I'm assuming somewhere along the way he got some help here and there with some things. Nothing wrong with that. I am just stating that 90 something percent of the time people get help to some degree. Or maybe he walked out the prison and applied for jobs then used that money to invest in equipment and advertising. I'm always interested in come up stories to learn. Especially since I've struggled with poverty all my life myself.
Thanks I've been learning Software Development and started losing faith, but this video gave me reassurance that I haven’t done it for long enough to quit and made me realise I need to put my head down and keep learning. Thanks.
The path to being successful is simple - become valuable. Do engineering or trade work. It will take time, money and it will be difficult but the returns are usually multifold.
@@snehalkrishnan618 it depends. You should look at job postings in your area and see how many openings there are and how much they pay.

Don't expect quick results. * **Integrity and Reputation:** Build trust with customers by always doing the right thing, even when it's not easy. * **Provide Value:** Understand your customer's needs and deliver solutions that exceed their expectations. **Overall Message:** The speaker emphasizes that building a successful career requires hard work, honesty, and a customer-centric approach. By focusing on these three principles, individuals can achieve long-term financial success.

Curious if mid seven figs are around $4 to $7M? Is that what that means? Also is 1% income over $500k annually?

So true
I love how you take your time to educate your viewers we all strive towards financial stability and a better Life. It is easy to achieve this through the right investment, by living frugally and budgeting. I'm glad I learnt early in life to work hard for financial freedom
Even though I engage in investing, I feel disheartened by my lack of expertise in assessing the performance of individual companies and determining the optimal timing for stock purchases. The erosion of my financial reserves due to inflation adds to my concerns. At this point, I require precise market trajectory information, but I find myself unsure about the appropriate course of action.
@@Pconradsmith Considering the prevailing economic climate, I recommend seeking a mentor or a knowledgeable advisor who can provide guidance and support.
I wholeheartedly concur, which is why I opt to entrust the day-to-day decision-making to an investing coach. With their specialized knowledge and extensive research, it is highly unlikely for them to underperform. Their expertise is centered around harnessing the asymmetrical potential of risks while also employing measures to safeguard against unfavorable outcomes. I have been collaborating with an investment coach for more than two years
Interesting, I could really use the expertise of this advisors, who's the person guiding you?
I only work with “Annette Christine Conte ” . She is a highly respected financial consultant in the industry. For further information or to connect with her, a simple online search with her name will suffice. I wish you every success in your endeavours.
Thank you for single handedly holding up the U.S. economy.

4 years ago I was unemployed, broke, rethinking my uneducated blue collar life. Today I’ve been learning hvac for 4 years, started in building maintenance, on track to make 115k this year as a dedicated hvac tech, interviewing for sales roles making 200k+ annual, 70k in Bitcoin in cold storage, wife and two babies chilling at home. Just got prequalified for our first mortgage. Going to start a home services business in a few years. Opening my heart to God taught me to open my ears to people around me. Actually Listening and helping others with value, quality, and integrity keeps blessings and prosperity flowing into our life.
Damn dude! I’m happy for you. You’re going to do really really well. You understand the mission.
Bitcoin is an attempt at shortcut.
First congrats. Second - go on your own. If you can generate $1mil for a company (that's how you get $200k) why don't you skip the middle man? If you made $1mil a year, you wouldn't need a mortgage and BAM now you have your bitcoin and additional cold storage money in your house value while living rent free...Do your thing and derisk your life, YOU can do it!
@@designerelise thank you. I’m going to start working on getting my mechanical license this fall. I have rough drafts of a go to market strategy and branding for my home services business. I don’t plan to work for others much longer but I am still very green so learning as fast as I can.
I call Bull Sh1t! No HVAC Tech is making 115K a year. Unless in NYC. Stop lying...
There is a severe lack of pride and shame in most services today.
America was built on pride and arrogance 😂
I was kind of talking to my mom about this yesterday. I’ve had two days in a row where I encountered rude customer service workers. One of which lost my business just by the way he talked to me on the phone.
Also, I worked at a 5 star hotel during the final phase of taxis being replaced by rideshare apps. I learned a lot about taxi services, more specifically, I was able to see the reasons why Uber and others were able to come in and take over. The taxi industry got lazy and comfortable. The taxi driver’s lives revolved around this work, but they all just thought of it as driving people from point A to point B.
They lacked a sense of pride or a desire to deliver on the necessary customer service aspect of the job. Their AC wouldn’t be working in the summer. Their heat wouldn’t work in the winter. Some of them knew zero English so it would result in awful situations for the customers. They would smoke in their cars, live in their cars (and leave it messy), and not shower or bath for a long time. They would swear at customers, threaten them, intimidate them into giving them tips. The list goes on, and it all seemed to reach a boiling point that allowed the industry to get beaten out by the right competitors at that time.
If you’re in customer service and only think of your job as something more along the lines of maybe just one or two goals (I.e. help the customer do this or that), then you’re going about it incorrectly. You’re wrong. You need to learn how to talk to and treat people with respect. You’re getting paid to, not only help them out, but also make them feel important to the business or company to help establish great terms.

Exactly, service jobs used to thrive on pleasing the customer. The customer is always right... a philosophy, designed to create a ongoing relationship with the customer. Reputation. Honesty. Value. Those words used to mean something.

This video was no different.

This is good advice whether you are self-employed or not.; Always "under promise and over deliver". Some of the younger people I've worked with don't get this and expect success with no effort. One has to put in the work and provide service and value. Great video. Thanks.

I am honestly grateful to have found your channel especially at the beginning of my career. What’s funny is that what you were saying about the 4 years with small company, and then going commission and trying out industrial is exactly what I was thinking a year ago when I started plumbing. Wish you the best bro, I hope everyone who’s grinding makes it. It takes time, but it’s possible.
@@almerk4123 that’s exactly it. Seemed like everyone who gave me advice wanted something from me or was trying to push me a certain way. Had to learn this shit the hard way.

Advice, that’s how you spell the word. Just some free advice.
I have two friends that have small plumbing businesses (less than 6 employees and 3 rigs) and work 40-50hrs a week themselves and clear over $250k a year. Plumbing is a gold mine in my opinion.

A lot of people including myself are stuck with bad habits that can mess up this whole progress scrolling endlessly on social media, watching random youtube videos, going out to drink , getting distracted by family members or women etc?

Hard work on it's own is not enough. Marketing is important. You need Hard Work + Marketing, both together, and complimenting each other.
Last decade and more we've seen so many industries offer diminishing returns or inferior products...... yet their profits have increased exponentially. It is because of Mindshare, Brand Perception, Marketing.
Just have a look at these huge tech corporations, spending millions of dollars each year into research under human psychology. It is all to feed into Marketing. And it pays off, which is why they keep doing it.
Bro, I'm a plumber. This video popped up because I was researching finance for my credit and investment bullshit. 6 years in plumbing. I'm planning on being where you're at in 10 more years, latest. Glad I'm not the only one who thought like you did, but as crazy as it seems being the same trade, I totally understand everything you said. God bless brother!
Are you diversifying your experience? Are you getting where you need to go? After 6 years might be time for a jump change of pace or team lead responsibility role whatever the Jobs next level is.

ITS NOT ABOUT THE MONEY, ITS ABOUT JUST DOING A DAMN GOOD JOB.
ok, do it for free then
Well, i can say this: I'm selling small electronic products (think usb sticks, adapters, etc) - and i sell these items dirt cheap. Cheaper than my competitors on ebay and amazon.
Plus, I always put the customer first. Ultra fast shipping, customer friendly return policy and always an open ear for questions, concerns, problems.
So, i am cheap AND have good service, but let me tell you, whenever i ask a customer why he bought from me, the answer is ALWAYS "because you have sold 10.000+ items and you have 99.9% positive reviews". Never ever have i been told "because you're the cheapest".
@@LfunkeyA No. Nothing is actually free but if you really want to dispense a good or service as "free", it should be reserved to those who have a sense of appreciation and will return that gesture with higher interest of shared success or else it'll be a total loss for you. Be generous but don't be stupid. Do things for free if you feel like it will serve both you and your client. Don't do it if they're stupidly unaware and it'll come to you as a net less.
I got some good jobs you can do then.
Don't be ridiculous, it's about the money in this society. It doesn't matter how good of a job you do or how much pride you take in it, if the money isn't there you're just wasting your time. It's naive to think most people will " return that gesture with higher interest of shared success", haha whatever that means. Most people will gladly take advantage of you if you let them these days.

I like your approach it is a value add to the society as a whole and it delivers tangible goods and services. Sadly many young people make money selling training , training for subjects they don’t understand or they sell coaching in Witchcraft, manifesting and other spiritual nonsense.

My neighbor has been in prison twice for bar fights, lost everything. Lived in his truck....He decided to stop being a douche - Followed exact steps you lay out 3yrs ago. He now has two mowing crews and landed his first $100k a year job. Dude is gonna clear $150k this year off $400k gross sales.
I would enjoy hearing more. Somewhere along the way he got some help. Also the fact that he went to prison worked heavily in his favor simply because everyone loves the "changed man" script. If you have that as a backstory, a common mainstream trope, then it makes people want to support you more. I'm sure there is more to the story. Come up stories are always interesting because I try and learn from them.
@@stardustsimulation He hasn't shared he went to prison with anybody. You want that known when doing landscaping of a rich person's house while they're on vacation. Prison did not help him "come up"
He had no vehicle, no license, no home etc and in 3yrs built a mini empire
@RealLifeFinance I didn't say tell the customers. I'm saying when someone has that background they can leverage it because people love the whole I was a criminal and changed my life around trope. And people like that will get more support in the mainstream. So did he just walk out the prison and magically a truck appeared and the equipment? I am interested in details about people's stories. Often time stories are exaggerated and people use hyperbole. There are also outliers too don't get me wrong but I'm assuming somewhere along the way he got some help here and there with some things. Nothing wrong with that. I am just stating that 90 something percent of the time people get help to some degree. Or maybe he walked out the prison and applied for jobs then used that money to invest in equipment and advertising. I'm always interested in come up stories to learn. Especially since I've struggled with poverty all my life myself.

I'm 23 and this gives me hope for myself and my future. Thanks a lot!
As a 3rd year electrical apprentice with big aspirations this advice is very encouraging. Thank you.
Test out!! Keep going
This is so much more solid than typical “influencer” style finance advice. Thank you.
Instructions unclear. What percentage of revenue should I spend on marketing? Can you sell me your price book? What about selling subscriptions? Is $10k enough to spend on wrapping a van with a cartoon character logo? How often should I bring in a consultant to train my salesmen, I mean technicians, to upsell residential customers? Hahaha jk stay brassy Broham 👌

we need real people like this that says the most obvious shit, because we use to think that we where too smart to listen to our parents when we where young.
I am struggling with finding my passion, I could care less about the money right now I’m 21 and live with my parents have been working since 15, had different jobs due to moving a couple times. None of them were something I looked forward to or could see myself doing even 3 years in the future. Hope to find my passion soon but thank you very for these tips. Right now I’m in the rough-in side of HVAC and getting paid per house and lord help me please because this is the most damn stressful thing I could’ve done to myself.
This is great advice. I’m going to write out my 5 year plan and stick to it! Thanks for the videos!
Universities hate him: This guy just taught you a business degree in 12 minutes. Great video!
