I’ve been in management for many years and now I’m a business owner. This is great advice. Having a plan and having the right crew is hugely important.
@ZoneFighter1 So true. Lockdowns, etc, are a SCAM to wipe out the middle class. Sadly, that's working. Heard this morning that Nevada, Arizona, and Florida each have a 50% rate of people being behind in rent and mortgages. Poor people are easier to control. "Do as we say and we'll see to it that your family gets fed."
I went in with two other people and started a private security company. We've been up and running for about three months, doing good so far. I love your business advice.
From my own personal experience: 1. Make yourself irreplaceable. Figure out how to do something not many people can do and do it really well. 2. Write a book one word at a time. First you have a word, then a sentence, then a paragraph, a chapter, and before you know it you have a novel. Great stuff Mike. I love your channel.
Best youtube Channel. The Last Big capo from a Mafia Familie. Thats unbelivabal for me. Go through Crime. War. Police. Trials. Informants and Prison !!!!! Wow. Very Strong man. Inspire me a lot.
“Don’t eat yellow snow,” and “Don’t pee into the wind.” are two fairly self-explanatory ones that are appropriate for almost any dumb ass friend you have.
Sounds to me Michael, like a good Consigliere is a “no man” rather than a “yes man”. Which is exactly something my Grandad talked about a lot, that a good businessman needs to have a few no-men. Guys who aren’t afraid to tell you your idea isn’t great.

My dad passed away earlier this year and it hit me really hard because I can talk to my dad for life advice or anything else. I thank God I have Michael Franzese to get advice; like a spiritual or virtual father if I may say.
I get more information about life and other things that actually matter in real world than most of my teachers Hats off Mr.Michael Keep up the good work ♥️
Mr. Franzeze, your content really is some of the best content on youtube. Your perspective on life is very rare considering where from where you came from. Nothing but respect sir and thank you for sharing your life lessons/experiences with us 👍
This Podcast is really interesting, and watching it makes time at work fly bye. I'm a BBQ cook, in one day I carry, season, & cook 2 Cows, 1 pig, and like 5 chickens. Because I'm listening to this bad ass podcast... I avoid, drama, avoid boredom, and avoid getting blasted In my pajamas. Thank You.
What is really remarkable is that I hear this kind of advice all the time, but hearing it here, with the stories, the wording (don't get killed in your pajamas, love that), it sticks so well. I'm seriously never going to wake up late ever again after learning this. Heck, I'm going to hang this advice up on my wall (you could consider making framed posters with this stuff!)
All 5 of these things go so well together, if you got a crew who goes by the same rules, you are delegating to people who will have a plan when they run into a problem and won't call you not knowing what to do, but will call you with the issue and their plan to take care of it, and you just gotta sign off or not. Brilliant. This video gives me the taste to get back in business. On a different note, it's funny how when you have a plan and it works, the money lending goes right along with it, whether you want it or not, you'll be asked. You know you are doing it right when the opportunities you pursue open more and more opportunities. I know a lot of people watch Michael's videos for the romance of the mob life, but what he says will generate success in any context. Thank you for the words of wisdom Mr. Franzese, and God bless!
You remember the line from "Moneyball?": "Scott, you're not a catcher anymore!" Well, "Michael, you're not a mobster anymore!" Thanks for your content.
Exactly! Prepare for the next day, no clutter, early riser (I’m up by 5am), self learning, review my day (to do list), exercise, eat well, seize the day.
Most favourite video yet....thanks Michael for these amazing business lessons ... We want more videos like this.👍👍especially the story about spots was amazing.
I always try to make an effort to watch all uploads from Michael every chance I get. You never know when we may not get another video from this wise gentleman.
This is why I Love Mike ... Right to the point!! How many times have we watched videos .. Giving life lessons (good, bad, otherwise) and your twenty minutes into it, wondering what the hell your even talking about because they’ve rambled so far off point. Not on this channel!! Mike sets it up..maybe spends a minute letting you know what’s in the works .. And then gets right to business. Thank you, Mike for all the great work. You’re one of the most fascinating people I’ve ever come across.
Who could’ve thought I’d be getting business advice from a former mobster turned Man of God? Life is full of surprises. You may have been a Caporegime of the Colombo family, but you’re OUR Consigliere now Mr Franzese!
Michael you are truly an inspiration. The way you have changed your life around without testifying against anyone is amazing. Btw did you ever think of having a sitdown with Sammy Gravano?
“When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you.” Isaiah 43:2 NLT Great advice Michael. Have a blessed day everyone.🙏🙏🙏
I taught English as a Second Language in Asia for three years. Loved it. Asians are awesome; most very hard working and smart business people. When people in America ask me why Asian students do so well in school, I tell them that there are three reasons: Parents, Parents, and Parents! Parents used to stop by our classrooms after school and thank us for being such good teachers. Some even took us too lunch.
Beautiful advice. I've followed these rules throughout my endeavors and these seemingly simple tactics kept me safe, one step ahead of society, and most importantly kept that fire burning. That desire to conquer your life can either grow or burn out. Keeping the fire burning is the #1 rule that trump's all else 🔥
Hire the right crew and let them have at it. Give them support and the right tools so they succeed, which ultimately allows the business or boss to succeed. NO micromanagement from the boss man. A good boss should only step in when required.
I love you Mike. In one of Your vids, you taught me something that has been Soooo Darn Helpfull I cant Thank you enough. "Please, Thankyou, I'm sorry, or Excuse me." So simple BUT Made Such a Difference and still Continues to do so. Again Thank you Michael
You can really see my maturity growth throughout the 15 years or so I’ve been active on TH-cam by who I binge watch.. first it was AlphaM then HowtoBeast then Real Men Real Style and now Michael Franzese.
Mr. Mike, this video changed my whole perspective. I've had a bad run of luck lately, but you talking about how you have to have a plan changed a lot. I have a plan, and now I'm well on my way to seeing it through. Thank you.
@@thevoid7179 You can learn something from everyone, whether good or bad, there are always things you never thought of. The ass kissing is really beyond stupid though, and I'm sure Michael is embarrassed by it because those people appear weak.
Mr. Franzese you probably wont see this comment but if you do I just wanted to say I appreciate all your videos you’re an inspiration. Much love and God bless!
My philosophy is be reliable, seek out the hardest jobs & do them better than most others would. I exercise large & active dogs that other dog walkers avoid. I have a monopoly with my most frequent clients because I build up their dog's endurance further so other dog walkers in the area can't touch me.
There is one massive exceptions to "no successful late risers" - programmers. Best coding is always done at night. It's the same as you talk about - nice and peaceful and nobody bothers you. But whereas for you emails take up a few hours a day at most, to them, undisturbed work on a problem without any social contact is their whole job.
Michael in most mob movies or TV shows and some of the books I've read they always have food. When is the Michael Franzese cooking show or cook book being released?
My own ethos was always "play to your strengths, but have good people who can do what you can't", but your version is much neater - "Do what you do best, delegate the rest". I'm going to use your words from here on in (I will of course namecheck you as is the proper way). I've recently discovered your channel and am finding your videos compelling viewing. Life lessons and tips from a man of your experience and insight? Yes please!
Great Piece here Michael once again , I am From Cleveland Ohio but now I am watching from Rio De Janeiro Brazil , my Beautiful wife is from here and we are visiting her family for a few months
