Nice guy, interesting story but folks, pls dont be naive: He surely did the right thing and worked his ass off for it BUT: 99% of us dont have his genetics. Not his jaw, nor his chin, nor his muscle/fat distribution, nor his eyes and so on. You can clearly see it on his youth pictures: He always used to be an "alpha" and "omega" while is friends where "mediocre" next to him. I rly wish him the best but pls dont make the mistake to take too much risks because someone like him said its good to go for it. You have to have some (back)ground or at least a good starting position. Doesnt have to be sports. Can also be talent or IQ for other jobs.
Takeaways for me: 1) Once you choose a path, work your ass off to make it happen and don't give up on it until you've truly put it in. 2) Be honest with yourself when you set goals. 3) Never be afraid to tell yourself you want more from life. 4) Work with what you've been given; don't change yourself to fit your aspirations, change your aspirations to fit yourself. 5) Be humble and show gratitude for those who have helped you get to where you are.
Great story Mike. I took the plunge 12 years ago, set up my own company and haven't looked back since. I didn't want to grow old and regret not trying. It's better to have tried and failed than not tried at all!
Looks like Dubai might be one of the first places to open up to tourists (not yet, but they're talking about it) - as such, we demand an epic 3-man, 100,000 calories eating challenge in Dubai with Mike, Rob and Matt :-)
You’ve inspired me to be my own boss Mike. I’m a 17 year old dude in Sweden making beats in my bedroom which I enjoy. I’m actually making good money for my age as well from selling them and the future is looking really good. Been watching for 3 years and this is one of your best videos yet mate, cheers!
@@boxingexpert9919 Dude, such a bad mindset. You can't decide how much money someone deserves and besides MT is a self made man not employed by the government. Two completely different things.
@@redmedia399 nah he doesn't deserve the money he gets mate it's not fair, there should be something done about it imo. He's off enjoying himself round the world while i have to work a hard job, or youtube should do something we're there take money and give it to the likes of me and the NHS something needs to be done and it's not just him there's loads of these youtubers making a fortune and it's not fair
Moral of the story: "Behind every risk there is a success". Very inspiring, specially the 3 conclusions you gave in the end. Nothing ever changes if one settles. We have to take actions to reach our goals.👍👍👍👍. Wishing you more success.
Mike, you are one of my biggest inspirations. Im not kidding when I say I watched this specific video 13-14 times already everytime I need a boost on my journey, Working hard to one day be connecting with you as well.
I really like this type of content Mike! There are so many successful people, but hardly any share their story in much detail leaving you wondering how to connect the dots and become successful yourself. So thanks for sharing this man!

@@thesilentwarrior6769 As an airline pilot myself flying for the 11th year. I would say its not the right time. But if you got the extra money go for it
I'm 53 with an above average house, in an above average city, earning an above average income (working from home mostly setting my own hours), in above average shape, with an above average wife, and this video still inspires me to improve upon almost all of those things (I guess I'll stick with the wifey!)
Dude, this is one of your best videos - I love stories like this. Would love to see a video/more about owning the gym, getting it up and running, problems faced etc.
Great to hear your story. I can definitely relate to your desire for more freedom and flexibility when it comes to work. I believe your past experiences, good or bad, have made you stronger and wiser. Stay strong and keep up the grind 💪💯
Mike, I started watching your videos when you had Aurora. You inspired me to start working out, and now 5 years of training later I am an entirely different person! Fitness has transformed my life both physically and mentally. The risks you have taken have inspired me too, I am changing my entire career right now because I was unhappy as a retail manager making a cushy salary. Its not enough if I'm not happy! I am 30 years old and I feel like you have helped me immeasurably. THANK YOU MIKE. YOU MOTIVATED ME TO BE A PERSON THAT WANTS MORE OUT OF LIFE!
Ngl this is my first comment on a TH-cam video, but it’s something which had too be done, despite how cringey it may sound. Mike your my biggest inspiration and a role model in some ways your like a big brother too me. I can remember when I first started training I always admired your physique and your technique behind it. But the more I get too know you the more I see myself... I start university in September where I’m planning to study marketing, I literally have the same mind frame as you, where I want too be my own boss and not be someone else’s puppet. I could write another paragraph but I don’t want too bore you out and ramble on forever plus it’s past my bedtime and my mum would kill me if she finds out I’m still awake.. but mike thank you for making TH-cam videos and being here... cringe yep... but your really providing a pathway for me to get to a good position in life, and I hope one day I can be in the same position as you.
1, if you are unhappy with something, change it yourself, no one's going to do it for you 2, take risks 3, keep telling yourself that you deserve better, if you think so then believe it and then you'll figure out a way to get better
Thanks for that. I'm 55 now and Ive never been in shape like you. I got close back in my late 20s, 88kg leanish. But now 80kgs and a bit fat and I few injuries holding me back. I like it when people like you that tell people about your past and how it wasn't all sun shine and rainbows.
One of the rare TH-cam videos that actually held my attention from start to finish. You are a very good storyteller indeed. Came for the pictures but loved the article : )
By far one of the videos you have done for inspiration and motivation..Being at the age of 47 you can be stuck in a rut..but you have shown you can never be too old. Even the hubby liked it and he is hard to please...Thank you Mike! 🙏😊
Very inspiring. No hill is climbed without struggle and it always looks easy once we are at the top. If you're up there, good for you. If not, then keep climbing. You'll get there!
Great video Mike, quite fucking inspiring. Specially the last 2 minutes with your advice. Don't be afraid to take risks! That's a huge one bro. Keep up the good content.

I’ve been watch Mike’s videos for a few years now and have a lot of respect for how he keeps on growing, on to the next level. Some inspiration for us all.
I'm a few years younger then Mike and have been planning my big move the last couple months. It will be a huge risk with an unknown outcome yet it needs to be done. I'm unhappy where I'm at in life and will take action to change that. Thanks mate for the inspirational story. I've been a sub since 2017.
The good news is you're 23. I know it feels like a huge deal that you "screwed up your studies". I'm 50 and have lots of life experience...let me assure you that it's absolutely no big deal. You have time on your side, something no amount of money can ever buy. Good luck.
“If your not happy with your situation, CHANGE IT...challenge yourself...and that you can do better!!!!” Thank you so much for this interesting yet beautiful story. Wasn’t as boring as you said it would be.
I did a summer outside clubs in Greece, was one of the best times if my life and you learn alot about yourself(and the ladies) I'd recommend any young lad does the same. I've done well in recent years, 2 half decent businesses, own house and family. Good luck to all, go get it 👍
Want more story times with uncle Mike- really sincere and relatable. I liked how concise and easy it was to just sit back and listen - no drama, no unnecessary tangents
Mike Tyson, Mike Jackson, Mike Jordan and Mike Thurston 💪😎 I salute you Lad, you're a genuine inspiration and GOAT fitness lifestyle👍 big shout out all the way from cape town 🇿🇦 South Africa
i can't imagine working the night life. i spent a lot of time in it and even as a weekly spectator it got pretty old and quite seedy. you would think partying all the time is fun but then you see some of the same people, shady characters, same playlist routines from the djs, the girls are different but act the same, the dirty floors, the almost-fights, the guys trying to posture, and of course the trashy day after where your gym session is half ass. if i started working in it i might have gotten stuck in it.
27min of life journey i am 3 years younger to you, watching you like a brother to look up to I always thought I am pushing my self to the limits but after watching your journey I am at 50% only
I am a 62 year old woman who is very curious, so I had to watch your video,and then I had to tell you that I enjoyed your story tremendously for several reasons, but I will mention 2 of them. One of the reasons is about the way you express the humbleness you genuinely carry in your heart, another is the way your story shows how you listen to your heart…. If one day my husband and I visit Dubai, I hope to sit down in a cafe with you and share each other’s memories! I am sure we will meet as if we were old friends! I believe your parents are very proud of you! You rock! - Shirlene
Dude I literally sit down and watch every single and every minute of the videos that you put out. Thank you so much for the effort you put and how open you are in the TH-cam Community! Keep em coming uncle Mike.On the road to 1Million 🤙🏽
Thank you for sharing your story. I felt identified in some of the situations you shared. You truly took the best out of each opportunity, faced uncertainty directly and reused every single experience you had in your past. Taking notes and inspiration from this video! 🙌
Great advice from Mike: work hard, don’t get complacent, and stay motivated. However, personally I’d recommend that with a healthy balance of being appreciative of what you do have, serving others, and being patient. It’s all a balancing act.
Hey Mike, really great video! Was really intriguing just having that insight to your life and what sort of decisions you made to be where you are now. Watched the whole 27 mins of the video and fond it very inspirational and interesting. Keep the content going and good luck with it all.
It’s good that you are growing your busy and investing in other things. You are still young, but won’t last forever and social media influencer is a young man’s game.
Ah ah .. you making me laughing my ass off ... But that statement is so true for many . Many people are living with people they are not satisfy with ... They should have never been with in the first place to settle down with. It's one of the most fuck up feeling to be with someone you know is not right for you . No passion is there . Heart don't feel warm and tingly on the inside ..bitch is boring like cardboard
Mediocre girlfriend sounds like a good band name lol. but seriously someone who is in a relationship with someone they would consider mediocre has issues lol
Loved this. Time to work. Let's get it. Saved to favourites. Wasn't sure if I'll watch the whole thing at the beginning but actually enjoyable to watch.
Love Mike and not taking anything away from how hard he's worked but let's be honest, there was definitely some monetary assistance going on here eg by his Dad or the estate of a dead family member... no-one affords a luxury flat in one of the most expensive areas in London and goes on luxury holidays from running a gym in Newcastle and being a youtuber with less than a million subs haha. But he's living his best life and can't take that away from him
self-made man can't be this jacked. there is simply not enough time and energy to devote to both business and high level fitness. At best they are fit-ish. Family money is involved, I know because I have friends who are basically lite-version of him
Don't be contempt and if you wanna be somewhere esle push yourself, take risks and don't complain just do it. Your the man I watch your vids all the time. I wanna be where you are and need that push to do it. Wanna get a better place and job not that it's not bad atm.
If you always do what you always did then you'll always get what you always got. And that, my friend, right there is life! Thing is; you'd sussed it out before you're 30 and it took me until 36 to get it. But this is why I follow your channel - because it's honest. You, James Linker, Alan Roberts, Jeff Cavaliere and Greg Doucette. All great, straight talking, no-nonsense guys. You all make YT a better place to be...
”The biggest risk is not taking any”
Then I am the biggest risk taker of all :>

@@Dornpunzel You have to find something you’re good at and go for things. Doesn’t matter what it is. Just do it.

@@RolandForster777 most of us don't know what we love yet
its tough brother, im 23 have no idea
Mike this was your best video yet honestly.. super relatable for me.
You make me quitting my job and creating the life I want. Sick of living up to the expectations of others...
What were you doing, and what are you doing now?
It’s good that you are growing your busy and investing in other things. You are still young, but won’t last forever and social media influencer is a young man’s game.
This should be a series. Thank you for the inspiration Uncle Mike
"A group of middle aged women". they were probably about 35 years old! When you're 21, everyone above that age is pushing on!
20 year olds know nothing
35 is middle age
@@haafayn6075 Yes, if you only live as far as 70. Middle Age is subjective. My Uncle is in his late 60's and still thinks he's middle aged!
Have watched this video over 10 times now, best motivation
Always with the solid advices, Mike you the man🔥
Such a surprise! I didn't expect all that story behind it. Hands down👏🏻👏🏻
Mike isn't given enough credit for how funny he is. His story about his grandma wanting to read the book had me in tears
Thanks for your story Mike regardless of the current conditions you live a charmed life.
Opened my mind again to future goals during these depressing strange times 👌
My favourite video on youtube, definitly. Thank you, uncle Mike
Love this content
Mike ur the best, u deserve everything that u have today
That was legit Mike. Inspiring stuff! Just started my channel to build from the ground up and this has inspired me a little more :)
I still watch this till this day to motivate me. I appreciate all your work Mike.
Mediocre girlfriend , that made me chuckle. Imagine sat on the sofa looking over to the mediocre girlfriend and thinking , I’m better than you. 😂😂😂
Mediocre girlfriend's useful for comfort and getting to do things for you. Different women for different roles
this is the Patrice O'neal philosophy
Ah ah .. you making me laughing my ass off ... But that statement is so true for many .
Many people are living with people they are not satisfy with ...
They should have never been with in the first place to settle down with.
It's one of the most fuck up feeling to be with someone you know is not right for you .
No passion is there .
Heart don't feel warm and tingly on the inside ..bitch is boring like cardboard
Mediocre girlfriend sounds like a good band name lol. but seriously someone who is in a relationship with someone they would consider mediocre has issues lol
This made me laugh
Every time I watch your videos, you remind me to get out there and do it. Thank you
MT " With your mediocre girlfriend"
Toxic was the word I was looking for 😅
Does this mean that you're single Mike? I thought she was nice.
@@TimBoss2000 bro that was the old one
dump the money-grabbing hoes when you get rich is what hes trying to say
Loved this. Time to work. Let's get it. Saved to favourites. Wasn't sure if I'll watch the whole thing at the beginning but actually enjoyable to watch.
just quit my job after watching this, thanks uncle mike 💯
How’s that going for you broski
@@kane6529 he died.
Very down to earth dude... Everything he does is good.
Love Mike and not taking anything away from how hard he's worked but let's be honest, there was definitely some monetary assistance going on here eg by his Dad or the estate of a dead family member... no-one affords a luxury flat in one of the most expensive areas in London and goes on luxury holidays from running a gym in Newcastle and being a youtuber with less than a million subs haha. But he's living his best life and can't take that away from him
self-made man can't be this jacked. there is simply not enough time and energy to devote to both business and high level fitness. At best they are fit-ish. Family money is involved, I know because I have friends who are basically lite-version of him
Last 1 and a half minute the 3 most important life lessons!!! Really appreciate your job man! Thanks for all your advices!
2:17 Corona Extra. Back when it was just a beer.
Because of the virus
@@Flipmode1900 what virus?
@T roy footlong so are you.Thank you!
Don't be contempt and if you wanna be somewhere esle push yourself, take risks and don't complain just do it. Your the man I watch your vids all the time. I wanna be where you are and need that push to do it. Wanna get a better place and job not that it's not bad atm.
11:00 That’s a problem I would love to have
This guy is a great storyteller
If you always do what you always did then you'll always get what you always got. And that, my friend, right there is life! Thing is; you'd sussed it out before you're 30 and it took me until 36 to get it. But this is why I follow your channel - because it's honest. You, James Linker, Alan Roberts, Jeff Cavaliere and Greg Doucette. All great, straight talking, no-nonsense guys. You all make YT a better place to be...
