Love the channel, Rich. It's great to see a fellow Canadian sharing his wisdom and experience and being a positive role model. I didn't really have mentorship when I was younger so I take it where I can find it. Thanks and keep it up.
Ive never commented on a video before, but this guy reminds me of me with this story lol im 22 and now i have my own business which is a store selling furniture, same thing i was looking for a supplier and so on... Till i did but didnt have too much money to invest... Thanks a lot, i really enjoyed your video
Rich i just found this channel about 3 hours ago and I'm already binge watching your videos. I can relate not only cuz I feel like I need to see what the world has to offer but I also live in Toronto too so I recognize the area which sorta helped me connect with the video if that made any sense lmao. Lots of respect and I'm loving your vids so far.
I think it is awesome how when you hate something you own it and stop to do something else. This channel has life changing information. Most feedback that I got I said I didn't like doing something was gaslighting. If someone says "I don't like doing this and want to pursue better", boomers will call them whiny or entitled. I think I will keep watching your videos.

If your thinking about starting a business do it. It is not as hard as people want to tell you it is. I worked full time until I was loosing money at work, at that point I put in my 2 weeks notice. My advice would be to start learning about online marketing ASAP, and get your website up yesterday. The slowest part of starting a small local business for me was getting noticed online. Their is no reason to wait, get started as soon as you can. Websites are very affordable!
Resonates with me big time. Parents were savers and told me to work for money. Did landscaping in the neighborhood 12-15yrs old. Sold beef jerkey in high school, used the football team to sell the products for me. Photography business with my gf in college. Worked a few awesome 9-5 jobs many would love to have. Its not what you know its who you know. Anyways.. was In and out of college for 10years cuz i was brain washed into thinking college is A MUST... here i am now. College is done for. I am a entrepreneur
Great video; it really spoke to me! I've been a wantrepreneur for way too long and here I am - a bachelor in his mid 40s, broke, unemployed and having a super difficult time landing a new full time job. Thank you for sharing your story; it was very motivating. I will definitely stop daydreaming about the "what if" and get moving.
Absolutely fucking amazIng story man. I was just like you, forged my birth cert when I was 13 to get a job a super market when my paper routes didnt make enough. Hell I be friended this kid in my neighborhood to get his paper route as he was getting too old for it. Anyways in or about 2005/07 I opened my own title insurance company after working in the industry for over 13 years. I was about 30 back then, the business didnt do well, basically the market collapse fell apart. Now ff Im in the IT field, self taught, and looking to start my own business again. I know its gonna fail, and thats ok. Im a little tougher smarter now with what works. Im ok with it. I'm just spit balling out loud right now, as youre video inspired me back to who I truly am. My other life goal is to sail the world. cross the pacific and the atlantic by sailboat. thanks for the inspiration.
Hey man I love this video, just seen it and I really can’t believe how much it resonates with me. I also think outside the box, very hyper I believe I could potentially have ADHD, I dropped out of college as well because I am a hands on guy, I learn as I try. Currently 24yrs old, started my first business 2yrs ago failed at it haha I never really knew much about the business I just went in it because I believed my partners would help me through it being that they were well in their 30’s but they didn’t know what they were doing. Currently working on a new business but anyways long story short, I am currently stuck at the phrase “do something you love” because I love a lot of things I like to be out in the open and just live, if it’s something I really love then it’s freedom, but besides that I can’t really pick a passion because all passions are man made I appreciate most of them but a lot of the time I just want to be able to be free enough to actually attempt many of these. I hope this all makes sense and if you can answer my question I’ll really appreciate it, I wish you all the best in your endeavors
I think a lot of what you have said has tremendous value except the part about starting a business you love - generally, the most boring businesses are those that succeed verses go-karts, fashion, beauty etc
"Do something that you love" ; This is misleading. I've seen so many people fail because they tried to put up something they liked instead of something that people wanted. Gotta be careful with that. You could make a video on this subject, would be interesting to see how you figure it out.
That is true. Like the successful coffee shop he drives by. Even if you find coffee fascinating no one likes slaving over a coffee machine serving the endless line. And the owner is probably not serving anyone but stuck in a office in endless meetings and financial reports every day. i i bet he does not like that. But it is still a successful business making him tonnes of money. While lots of people start doing what they like and find out the market is just not there.
I don’t think entrepreneurship is inborn per se. I think that people who are called to entrepreneurship are those who just never were able to fit in with the status quo life. I was one step away from getting trapped in the system in the very respectable field of medicine. But i just had this feeling that if I get into this “cookie-cutter” life, I’ll be miserable for the rest of my life. Now I’m going into business for myself, but I’m also working odd seasonal jobs to build up money to support it. I respect what you are doing sir.
Before even watching this I had to Comment that @ 0:36 a 16 year old kid said that he wants to " Start a Business WITH HIS Friends " ! A word of advice; " Don't Do it "! Either work for one of your friends or have them Work for you ! Partnerships Always End in Enmity ( Contempt ) and Loss of Friend ship ! One might be able to give advice or even some help in starting a business. But Partnerships almost always end in Lost friendships and Disaster !
I also could not work for others to a fault, not a college type either, tons of auto shop in HS but could see doing it all the time, but I do believe you A. have to find an area you like, B>see how much you like it after your working in the area. I taught myself (after working for several construction type "angry" bosses) as I found the jobs. If I were to do it again I would find someone highly skilled stick with it , and maybe move with in the trade and learn from those people as much as possible . in the end I still would have become a GC just a smarter one. also, learn to handle your money, the old rule of it only matters how much you keep is the hardest one I had to experience
This video helped me out a lot, it resonated with me. I am also trying to be an entrepreneur. I do realise that I need to read more and do more research. My plan is to work as a vr programmer to build up some capital and then start a company. I am also considering dropping out of school, because I completely agree with you and so far it has been useless to me, I kept hoping that a higher level would be beneficial, but even at a masters degree I find it useless. I think that I will try to finish it since it is a couple months away. Your origin story inspired me!
thanks for sharing your inspiring story rich. there are many of us young men still in the system but knowing we can do much greater things. and the struggle is real - like you said, people in your very own family will criticize you. personally i know i'm not quite there yet, but i look forward to the day that i can pass on my own wisdom and experiences to those who will come after me as well.
Thanks for the video rich, made me realize few things and i could relate for some parts of the video, i'm 22 i really want to start a buisiness around cars especially reprogramming engines and some tuning and i hope i can start it soon enough
Great video. I have been through the process of launching my own business in the past and what you were saying, really resonated with me. I usually watch your videos on girls but from now on... Thanks!
First, thank you for your time to share with the rest of the world your life experiences and knowledge! Keep the videos coming :) The rest of the world needs people like yourself (educated, positive, informed, knowledgable and with good taste in cars. I would like to ask how did you commercialized your "mobile auto detailing" business back then and what would you change if you know what you know now about how to start a business (create a website? visit dealerships to promote the business? go door to door? ) Thank you
Interesting story Rich. Mine is similar in that I'm an entrepreneur now, but started shoveling/mowing/odd jobs for money when I was about 12, had another business when I was 15-17 (a BBS if anyone knows what that is), then went to college, etc., etc. I'm also ADD, which made it tough to cope when I was younger, but I find a lot of entrepreneurs are ADD also. One last thing... I recognize the King City Timmies you went into. :)
As a 21 year old hoping to be a successful entrepreneur I do not know when and where to start. You say you wish you would have started earlier but start with what? Do i wait for some business venture to come to me? I have a few passions: fitness, cars (how i ended up on your videos), and a drive to work for myself. The more i put in the more i get out. Would appreciate any insight.
+George G Start with anything. Start with a failure. You'll learn. Don't lose, learn from experience. Doing nothing is the worst you can do. I'll do a video answering your question in more depth soon.
Wow, its been a while since I made this comment but for those of you who are curious: I'm 25 now and have since been studying chiropractic and am in the 4th and final year of my program. I have built up a small clientele and brand as a student and am making efforts toward having my own practice ready when graduation comes. Thanks for making a video addressing my question Rich, I still watch your content. Hopefully in another couple years ill revisit this with more good things to say.
love the honesty in the video man but just a suggestion, after a while the rumbling and vibration of the engine does your head in, can you perhaps place the microphone in such a position where its not resting directly on the dash or perhaps invest in a microphone that clips to your jacket, the car noise is muffling out the importance of what youre saying,, thanks,
First and foremost having a father apart of a nucleus family that gives a damn or at least is in the house hold makes a difference. Having young competitivness (close friend or sibling) helps. True "education" is learning skills i.e. how to build and repair.
Hey man, you're a huge inspiration to me. We're a lot alike except I'm still in my early stages of life (I'm 27). I am a young Alpha looking to make myself into something greater. I spent 8 years in the US Army where I quickly established myself as a hard working reliable soldier who would always get the job done right the first time. Due to this I climbed rank extremely fast. I'm a natural born leader and am always looking for ways to better myself. I'm always learning from my life lessons and reflecting on everything life throws at me.... But what you said about going into business with your friends really resonated with me man. I will not accept anyone as a friend into my life if they are not equal to or greater than me in one aspect of life because I need that challenge and competition to motivate me to surpass them in that area. My friends need to reflect my drive to achieve life goals and my high standards I set for myself. Guys... If the people around you don't push you to be better then you need to surround yourself with better people... I agree with everything you said man. Business is war and I have a very tactical thinking, analytical mind so for me, this is the only logical path for me to follow. Keep doing you man. You are helping us all better ourselves. Thank you for everything you do. Even though we aren't actual friends lol, you can still fill that role of a positive role model that is vastly superior to us in certain aspects of life and that's huge dude. There are so many people out there who need exactly what you're providing. If you can make money off of providing valuable advice and guidance to the masses on TH-cam (not that you're doing it for the money or that you need the add revenue) that's awesome. This content is still free for us so I see that as a win:win scenario. Seeing major corporations pay you money to diversify yourself, meanwhile promoting others to do the same at no cost to us is inspiring as well. Have you every thought about writing your own book? I could see you doing that someday man 😁
yo mate I'm here in UK, just watched a few of your videos, kudos to you mate, love what you talked about, and I love my bmw's, I've had a bag of them. e30 325i sport e28 518i & e28 m535i, e24 635 highline, e34 540i so yeah love the vintage variety oh yeah and a crappy e46 318i, my dad was the one who nurtured my love for beemers he had an e21 318i solid motors and that twat who wrote that article about bmw engine not being is full of shit himself, he ain't got a clue about prestige motoring. keep up the good work and would to have a ride in your Dinan 700 bhp M5 that's a sweet ride you got it would personally prefer the alpina M6 or 2017/2018 M7 now that's got me drooling. peace
Love this video!!! I'm kinda in the same boat, except I'm a stay at home father and looking for a way to open a business just don't know really how to go about it. I want to do something in fitness but don't want to be another same old same old gym or so. Suggestions?
This was a GREAT video - really appreciate the great content! New subscriber and I'm on my way to watch more! I loved your origin story. Don't know if this was popular, but would love to hear more about the process of taking your building bigger/selling once you had proof of a successful concept. Thanks again! -Christianna
A partnership is a bad ship to sail in , Howard Hughes said a partner will slow you down and get in your way . I had a partner and he got in the way and stole from me .
Dave Ramsey says "the only ship that doesn't sail is a partnership" - as an entrepreneur, do you feel like partnerships should be avoided completely? Thank you for the great content.
Awesome video brother definitely got what it take be my own boss dude I'm not rich lad like other lads my way think of it :) try your best go for it im looking into start my own bussies labourer bricklaying
I'm so fucking glad you didn't say that God does everything for a reason or some bullshit. THANK YOU! I'm 15, and I'm launching my own service business with a website and phone number in a couple of months. I even spoke with a couple of investors and they said my idea could be worth more than Uber. I'm not saying it is, but a few of them valued the business extremely high. I want to thank you for giving me advice and a mind for pushing myself.
Hey man, I own a window cleaning business and it's been a struggle to be honest with you. I don't know what my next move is to make it successful. What would you suggest I do next?
Appreciate the insight. I am in the beginning stages of my entrepreneurial journey so I enjoy hearing like-minded individuals stories. Now time to monetize my skillset/passion.
FYI, just added you on social media outlets. Your Facebook page link on the about section needs to be updated as its routing to page not found. Found you via manual search.

Thanks Brother for taking the time to share some knowledge I hope you take the time to read this..

Love your videos! I´m from Argentina, we lose the war (deserve it...), but there is no hate. Anyway if you love war jets do some research about our pilots doing imposible things with museum material during that war. Sorry for my english! And keep doing this videos, awesome material for young guys in this "feminazi" era... Peace!!! Haha...
M H yes! You can still push yourself too achieve greatness. Read books. Educate yourself in new areas of thought. Set fitness goals. See the world. Learn a new language. Study martial arts. Learn to play an instrument. Take an art class. Study different philosophy or religion or history. Just push yourself to grow. Expand your horizons. Give back to the poor and underprivileged. Do volunteer work. Start a non profit charity event for a noble cause. Become a community pillar. Get into politics for the right reasons and help fight for a better future. Your possibilities are almost endless if you have no material attachments. That is exactly where people need to be to grow on a personal level so you're ahead of the curve. Good luck man.
Could as well store wealth in case you find some future use for it. (It's the "least worst option.") Since frankly a lot of material belongings are a hindrance between storage/transportation versus freedom of going wherever you want by living/traveling light. As the epic line from a main character in Final Fantasy IV: The After Years goes "He has to learn destiny is something you create for yourself." So congratulations on learning that the crap society/marketers tell you you should want doesn't mean anything to you. PS Hopefully you don't turn to videogames or brain-dead media as your outlet.. as seems "achieving" things in a game are a joke more often than not. As a previous commenter notes, probably take up playing a sport or an athletic activity if you find you enjoy pushing yourself in "non-financial" ways.
Does freedom not motivate you? If you wake up one day and decide you wanna go deep sea fishing and you have the ability to get up and go because you don’t have to clock into a job. Does something like that not motivate you?
the thought behind your video is positive but some of the advice is not really smart. start a business as early as possible because the first ones will probably fail? well first if you go into something thinking it will fail it probably will, and after you fail at a young age, how will you move forward to the next business when you're up to your neck with debt from the first one? the whole thing is a little silly PEACE
I am experienced in SEO, copywriting and learning ADS, should I continue with that route and setup sometime of agency with upsells or do something else?
Trump is an excellent politician. He knows what the Jewish elite are up to and he's not ok with it. The white people of the world do not owe non white people anything. You live in Canada, you know what's going on. Is it true that you lucky tax payers get to support the multiple wives of your brown Islamic brethren? Are you denying that the non white parts of Canada are no go zones for white Canadians while non white Canadians shit all over Canada and it's laws? Do you deny that your crime is committed by majority non white Canadians/immigrants?
Start early, because you are going to fail. True. But how can you start early if you don't have any money? Sure, if your parents give you money, it's easy. And you can fail many times. But if you're on your own it's going to be hard, first time you'll fail, then you need to work again for someone to get some money. A lot of entrepreneurs claim they are self made millionaire. They got a few millions from the parents, invested them, lost all, then got again a few millions and so on, until they made something. Yeah, right, self made...
how do I find the right business partner to help me setup my business. I'm already busy setting everything up. made some mistakes but I let the co partners signed a contract to invest money in it or sell. they all choose to sell. now I'm focusing on starting over. but now I want to find the right partner that also Invest money and time in the meantime I'm just investing In the development. tyrone
Richard, I do like your talks on entrepreneurship but not so much on the single-mom bashing. Please continue putting out these great topics of discussion minus the single-mom bullshit which makes you sound angry and vindictive. You definitely shine on the entrepreneur front
Bunty who are you to tell him what type of car content to make? Obviously he is his own man who will do what he likes. I'm willing to bet you are a single mother.
Bob Bobber hmmm... It appears you've stuck a nerve here... That means you're spot on lol 😂. TBH, I have no problems with single moms. A lot of them are hard working women. I was raised by a single mom who showed me what sacrifice and hard work meant. At no point did she ever have less than 2 jobs. She busted her ass for me. She put herself through school while working and raising me. She made time for me. She went nights without dinner so I could have food.... And she did it all without any government assistance, child support or being a ho.However, single moms today don't seem to meet that standard ("but not all single moms are like that"/"who hurt you"/"I feel sorry for you"/" you hate women"/"you must be a virgin"/"you probably have a small dick"/"something about 'Mommy issues' ") there, now that we got all of those overused replies out of the way I can get to the point :) single moms come with a ton of baggage and drama. Some dudes are looking for a family. That's great. Go get it then. Some single moms aren't looking for anything and are hardworking, focused, amazing mother's. That's great. Get at it ladies... But don't pretend for a single second like you're all these amazing angels because there are a lot of women out there looking to trap successful men by getting pregnant. There are a lot of women out there chasing those child support check who already have 5 kids with 6 different baby daddies. Nobody should be shamed for dating who they want to date. Don't shame a successful dude who doesn't want the emotional baggage that comes with single moms just because you've had a difficult time dating. It's ok to be a single mom. You can be a single mom and be happy. You don't need a man for that... Just like he doesn't need you.
My first entrepreneur venture was selling address leads. I would advertise an opportunity for people to make £500 per week stuffing envelopes and whenever I received somebody's details, I would forward those details onto a guy who would pay me £2.50 for each new lead I would generate. It lasted about 2-3 weeks and I made peanuts so I started to write my first book and got that self published. After that I went on to creating an internet business. I've never been employed by somebody ever.
Please continue, as a college student majoring in engineering, this really motivates me to get out there and try my ideas, even if i fail

I don’t think entrepreneurship is inborn per se. I think that people who are called to entrepreneurship are those who just never were able to fit in with the status quo life. I was one step away from getting trapped in the system in the very respectable field of medicine. But i just had this feeling that if I get into this “cookie-cutter” life, I’ll be miserable for the rest of my life. Now I’m going into business for myself, but I’m also working odd seasonal jobs to build up money to support it. I respect what you are doing sir.
Before even watching this I had to Comment that @ 0:36 a 16 year old kid said that he wants to " Start a Business WITH HIS Friends " !
A word of advice; " Don't Do it "! Either work for one of your friends or have them Work for you !
Partnerships Always End in Enmity ( Contempt ) and Loss of Friend ship !
One might be able to give advice or even some help in starting a business. But Partnerships
almost always end in Lost friendships and Disaster !
I also could not work for others to a fault, not a college type either, tons of auto shop in HS but could see doing it all the time, but I do believe you A. have to find an area you like, B>see how much you like it after your working in the area. I taught myself (after working for several construction type "angry" bosses) as I found the jobs. If I were to do it again I would find someone highly skilled stick with it , and maybe move with in the trade and learn from those people as much as possible . in the end I still would have become a GC just a smarter one. also, learn to handle your money, the old rule of it only matters how much you keep is the hardest one I had to experience
This video helped me out a lot, it resonated with me. I am also trying to be an entrepreneur. I do realise that I need to read more and do more research. My plan is to work as a vr programmer to build up some capital and then start a company. I am also considering dropping out of school, because I completely agree with you and so far it has been useless to me, I kept hoping that a higher level would be beneficial, but even at a masters degree I find it useless. I think that I will try to finish it since it is a couple months away. Your origin story inspired me!
thanks for sharing your inspiring story rich. there are many of us young men still in the system but knowing we can do much greater things. and the struggle is real - like you said, people in your very own family will criticize you. personally i know i'm not quite there yet, but i look forward to the day that i can pass on my own wisdom and experiences to those who will come after me as well.
Thanks for the video rich, made me realize few things and i could relate for some parts of the video, i'm 22 i really want to start a buisiness around cars especially reprogramming engines and some tuning and i hope i can start it soon enough
This was a great video. Thanks.
Great video. I have been through the process of launching my own business in the past and what you were saying, really resonated with me. I usually watch your videos on girls but from now on... Thanks!
I got a lot of value on this! Thanks!!

First, thank you for your time to share with the rest of the world your life experiences and knowledge! Keep the videos coming :) The rest of the world needs people like yourself (educated, positive, informed, knowledgable and with good taste in cars.
I would like to ask how did you commercialized your "mobile auto detailing" business back then and what would you change if you know what you know now about how to start a business (create a website? visit dealerships to promote the business? go door to door? )
Thank you
Man I love your content. You're real/cool as fuck and impart that good wisdom.
15:04 Was a great business.
Some very powerful and truthful words there sir
John Rabaste' why do you have a picture of abs as your profile? Nobody wants to see that
Bob Bobber I did it on a whim a long time ago. And many ladies would disagree with you. Just don't look if it bothers u that bad
that man kev. better than a lazy sack of shit like you. Get your ass off the couch and maybe try a push up or two
Thanks so much Rich, you’re really helping me out.
Thumbs up after I heard "Homie don't do that!" haha
😘😘😘! I totally get it you! So easy to hear you and see, you're a cutie!
Interesting story Rich. Mine is similar in that I'm an entrepreneur now, but started shoveling/mowing/odd jobs for money when I was about 12, had another business when I was 15-17 (a BBS if anyone knows what that is), then went to college, etc., etc. I'm also ADD, which made it tough to cope when I was younger, but I find a lot of entrepreneurs are ADD also. One last thing... I recognize the King City Timmies you went into. :)
How's life brother
As a 21 year old hoping to be a successful entrepreneur I do not know when and where to start. You say you wish you would have started earlier but start with what? Do i wait for some business venture to come to me? I have a few passions: fitness, cars (how i ended up on your videos), and a drive to work for myself. The more i put in the more i get out. Would appreciate any insight.
+George G Start with anything. Start with a failure. You'll learn. Don't lose, learn from experience. Doing nothing is the worst you can do. I'll do a video answering your question in more depth soon.
May I ask, have you started your business or otherwise took steps towards starting one??
Skeef how’d it go?
Wow, its been a while since I made this comment but for those of you who are curious: I'm 25 now and have since been studying chiropractic and am in the 4th and final year of my program.
I have built up a small clientele and brand as a student and am making efforts toward having my own practice ready when graduation comes. Thanks for making a video addressing my question Rich, I still watch your content. Hopefully in another couple years ill revisit this with more good things to say.
thx for the inputs.
love the honesty in the video man but just a suggestion, after a while the rumbling and vibration of the engine does your head in, can you perhaps place the microphone in such a position where its not resting directly on the dash or perhaps invest in a microphone that clips to your jacket, the car noise is muffling out the importance of what youre saying,, thanks,
Thx for the feedback.
cdmoza u do know some weirdos r actually just listening to that sound( I reckon 20% of viewers ), not to Mr Cooper?
First and foremost having a father apart of a nucleus family that gives a damn or at least is in the house hold makes a difference.
Having young competitivness (close friend or sibling) helps.
True "education" is learning skills i.e. how to build and repair.
Hey man, you're a huge inspiration to me. We're a lot alike except I'm still in my early stages of life (I'm 27). I am a young Alpha looking to make myself into something greater. I spent 8 years in the US Army where I quickly established myself as a hard working reliable soldier who would always get the job done right the first time. Due to this I climbed rank extremely fast. I'm a natural born leader and am always looking for ways to better myself. I'm always learning from my life lessons and reflecting on everything life throws at me.... But what you said about going into business with your friends really resonated with me man. I will not accept anyone as a friend into my life if they are not equal to or greater than me in one aspect of life because I need that challenge and competition to motivate me to surpass them in that area. My friends need to reflect my drive to achieve life goals and my high standards I set for myself. Guys... If the people around you don't push you to be better then you need to surround yourself with better people... I agree with everything you said man. Business is war and I have a very tactical thinking, analytical mind so for me, this is the only logical path for me to follow. Keep doing you man. You are helping us all better ourselves. Thank you for everything you do. Even though we aren't actual friends lol, you can still fill that role of a positive role model that is vastly superior to us in certain aspects of life and that's huge dude. There are so many people out there who need exactly what you're providing. If you can make money off of providing valuable advice and guidance to the masses on TH-cam (not that you're doing it for the money or that you need the add revenue) that's awesome. This content is still free for us so I see that as a win:win scenario. Seeing major corporations pay you money to diversify yourself, meanwhile promoting others to do the same at no cost to us is inspiring as well. Have you every thought about writing your own book? I could see you doing that someday man 😁
I just came across your channel for your old M3 but man this video definitely made me subscribe. Look forward to more videos like this!!
yo mate I'm here in UK, just watched a few of your videos, kudos to you mate, love what you talked about, and I love my bmw's, I've had a bag of them. e30 325i sport e28 518i & e28 m535i, e24 635 highline, e34 540i so yeah love the vintage variety oh yeah and a crappy e46 318i, my dad was the one who nurtured my love for beemers he had an e21 318i solid motors and that twat who wrote that article about bmw engine not being is full of shit himself, he ain't got a clue about prestige motoring. keep up the good work and would to have a ride in your Dinan 700 bhp M5 that's a sweet ride you got it would personally prefer the alpina M6 or 2017/2018 M7 now that's got me drooling. peace
Love this video!!! I'm kinda in the same boat, except I'm a stay at home father and looking for a way to open a business just don't know really how to go about it. I want to do something in fitness but don't want to be another same old same old gym or so. Suggestions?
This was a GREAT video - really appreciate the great content! New subscriber and I'm on my way to watch more! I loved your origin story. Don't know if this was popular, but would love to hear more about the process of taking your building bigger/selling once you had proof of a successful concept. Thanks again! -Christianna
How's life
A partnership is a bad ship to sail in , Howard Hughes said a partner will slow you down and get in your way . I had a partner and he got in the way and stole from me .
I have been around as have you. Great story. Very insightful.
Cheers,
Great information, keep the vids coming
+Carl Barton Thx Carl
+Entrepreneurs in Cars..... have you seen the Ed Dale challenge on you tube..... free and amazing
Great talk, thanks Richard.
LOVE this! Great advice
Thanks
Dave Ramsey says "the only ship that doesn't sail is a partnership" - as an entrepreneur, do you feel like partnerships should be avoided completely? Thank you for the great content.
Awesome video brother definitely got what it take be my own boss dude I'm not rich lad like other lads my way think of it :) try your best go for it im looking into start my own bussies labourer bricklaying
TH-cam messages now that's a name I haven't heard in a long time

Great Video Rich
You get to write-off your car since it's in almost all your vids?
Probably
What are your thoughts on franchising a restaurant?
Yep, learning that now, economics 101.....capital is scarce
It`s not as easy as putting your hand out and it comes to you....dam it!
Awesome motivation, one Torontotian to another.
Great Stuff! What are you driving?

14:55 is what we need to do when we notice red flags in life
😂😂😂
I'm so fucking glad you didn't say that God does everything for a reason or some bullshit. THANK YOU! I'm 15, and I'm launching my own service business with a website and phone number in a couple of months. I even spoke with a couple of investors and they said my idea could be worth more than Uber. I'm not saying it is, but a few of them valued the business extremely high. I want to thank you for giving me advice and a mind for pushing myself.
Bob Stuffguy God does everything for a reason
very impressive
Great video
Great video.
Hey man,
I own a window cleaning business and it's been a struggle to be honest with you. I don't know what my next move is to make it successful. What would you suggest I do next?
cool thanks
Appreciate the insight. I am in the beginning stages of my entrepreneurial journey so I enjoy hearing like-minded individuals stories. Now time to monetize my skillset/passion.
FYI, just added you on social media outlets. Your Facebook page link on the about section needs to be updated as its routing to page not found. Found you via manual search.
so.. 1 year later... how is it going?
@@N73B60 booked my first gig so cash flow started. Pandy slowed things down substantially but I put my health before money. My business model needs some tweaks with my recent findings. All still a work in progress. All and all life is good 👍
I don't need coffee this bad😂
Like your videos. "Living in the real world" APPLIES EVERYWHERE
Thankyou
Thanks Brother for taking the time to share some knowledge I hope you take the time to read this.. My name is Benjamin 21 going to barber college working 2 jobs as a server and barber and want to open my own shop but dont have alot of money. would you recommend getting a business loan from the bank? I recently got a credit card solely to build good credit. In 7 months Ill be done with school what should I do?
Shoutout to Pennsylvania
The lesson I got from this video is don’t be a sheep and sit in line for coffee.
Wow great video just found your channel love your mind set !
Love your videos! I´m from Argentina, we lose the war (deserve it...), but there is no hate. Anyway if you love war jets do some research about our pilots doing imposible things with museum material during that war.
Sorry for my english! And keep doing this videos, awesome material for young guys in this "feminazi" era...
Peace!!! Haha...

What the hell do you do if money and material things don't motivate you?
M H yes! You can still push yourself too achieve greatness. Read books. Educate yourself in new areas of thought. Set fitness goals. See the world. Learn a new language. Study martial arts. Learn to play an instrument. Take an art class. Study different philosophy or religion or history. Just push yourself to grow. Expand your horizons. Give back to the poor and underprivileged. Do volunteer work. Start a non profit charity event for a noble cause. Become a community pillar. Get into politics for the right reasons and help fight for a better future. Your possibilities are almost endless if you have no material attachments. That is exactly where people need to be to grow on a personal level so you're ahead of the curve. Good luck man.
spiritual stuff. maybe helping your community is the way to go.
Could as well store wealth in case you find some future use for it. (It's the "least worst option.") Since frankly a lot of material belongings are a hindrance between storage/transportation versus freedom of going wherever you want by living/traveling light.
As the epic line from a main character in Final Fantasy IV: The After Years goes "He has to learn destiny is something you create for yourself." So congratulations on learning that the crap society/marketers tell you you should want doesn't mean anything to you.
PS Hopefully you don't turn to videogames or brain-dead media as your outlet.. as seems "achieving" things in a game are a joke more often than not. As a previous commenter notes, probably take up playing a sport or an athletic activity if you find you enjoy pushing yourself in "non-financial" ways.
Does freedom not motivate you? If you wake up one day and decide you wanna go deep sea fishing and you have the ability to get up and go because you don’t have to clock into a job. Does something like that not motivate you?
You live off of Bayview in Aurora.
the thought behind your video is positive but some of the advice is not really smart. start a business as early as possible because the first ones will probably fail? well first if you go into something thinking it will fail it probably will, and after you fail at a young age, how will you move forward to the next business when you're up to your neck with debt from the first one?
the whole thing is a little silly
PEACE
God damn those pipes lol
you are from the UK but have an American accent?
I am experienced in SEO, copywriting and learning ADS, should I continue with that route and setup sometime of agency with upsells or do something else?
Did you start your agency?
You have style my friend. That is a great jacket. What is it where can I get one?
Trump is an excellent politician. He knows what the Jewish elite are up to and he's not ok with it. The white people of the world do not owe non white people anything. You live in Canada, you know what's going on. Is it true that you lucky tax payers get to support the multiple wives of your brown Islamic brethren? Are you denying that the non white parts of Canada are no go zones for white Canadians while non white Canadians shit all over Canada and it's laws? Do you deny that your crime is committed by majority non white Canadians/immigrants?
In America, the government gives non white men and all women business grants. Do you understand why Trump didn't pull any punches?
Bob Bobber Really? Well I’m “non-white” and I don’t know ANYONE who has received these so called automatic grants.
Whats ur stance on business partnership? Is it worth it? Or does it usually end negativly?
Regarding Trump: "Shitty as he might be?" smh. Anyhow, dig your content. You don't strike me as liberal.
Start early, because you are going to fail. True. But how can you start early if you don't have any money? Sure, if your parents give you money, it's easy. And you can fail many times. But if you're on your own it's going to be hard, first time you'll fail, then you need to work again for someone to get some money. A lot of entrepreneurs claim they are self made millionaire. They got a few millions from the parents, invested them, lost all, then got again a few millions and so on, until they made something. Yeah, right, self made...
what business do you have now?
how do I find the right business partner to help me setup my business. I'm already busy setting everything up. made some mistakes but I let the co partners signed a contract to invest money in it or sell. they all choose to sell. now I'm focusing on starting over. but now I want to find the right partner that also Invest money and time in the meantime I'm just investing In the development. tyrone

Ric, your videos and sincerity are really captivating - you'd do a real career as a preacher in scams like the church of scientology ;) PEACE !
Any chance you can use a hands-free system to not have the car's vibrations transferred to the microphone and have things more difficult to hear?
Homie don’t do that shit haha
Richard, I do like your talks on entrepreneurship but not so much on the single-mom bashing. Please continue putting out these great topics of discussion minus the single-mom bullshit which makes you sound angry and vindictive. You definitely shine on the entrepreneur front
Bunty who are you to tell him what type of car content to make? Obviously he is his own man who will do what he likes. I'm willing to bet you are a single mother.
Bob Bobber I'm willing to bet you had a broken marriage and now have women issues or can't get it up with them.
Bob Bobber hmmm... It appears you've stuck a nerve here... That means you're spot on lol 😂. TBH, I have no problems with single moms. A lot of them are hard working women. I was raised by a single mom who showed me what sacrifice and hard work meant. At no point did she ever have less than 2 jobs. She busted her ass for me. She put herself through school while working and raising me. She made time for me. She went nights without dinner so I could have food.... And she did it all without any government assistance, child support or being a ho.However, single moms today don't seem to meet that standard ("but not all single moms are like that"/"who hurt you"/"I feel sorry for you"/" you hate women"/"you must be a virgin"/"you probably have a small dick"/"something about 'Mommy issues' ") there, now that we got all of those overused replies out of the way I can get to the point :) single moms come with a ton of baggage and drama. Some dudes are looking for a family. That's great. Go get it then. Some single moms aren't looking for anything and are hardworking, focused, amazing mother's. That's great. Get at it ladies... But don't pretend for a single second like you're all these amazing angels because there are a lot of women out there looking to trap successful men by getting pregnant. There are a lot of women out there chasing those child support check who already have 5 kids with 6 different baby daddies. Nobody should be shamed for dating who they want to date. Don't shame a successful dude who doesn't want the emotional baggage that comes with single moms just because you've had a difficult time dating. It's ok to be a single mom. You can be a single mom and be happy. You don't need a man for that... Just like he doesn't need you.
My first entrepreneur venture was selling address leads. I would advertise an opportunity for people to make £500 per week stuffing envelopes and whenever I received somebody's details, I would forward those details onto a guy who would pay me £2.50 for each new lead I would generate. It lasted about 2-3 weeks and I made peanuts so I started to write my first book and got that self published. After that I went on to creating an internet business. I've never been employed by somebody ever.
Dope
Hey Richard is there a direct way to get in contact with you about questions. You mentioned Facebook, just search "Entrepreneurs in Cars" on Facebook?
