If you earn X amount. How are you going to double it? Work twice as hard? There is a limit, so in this video, I'll share with you how to unlock the limit and have a good life. Enjoy.
A salary is the drug that you are given to forget your dreams - Kevin O' Leary
Lol so true
& doomed if forgotten
In my country a $2000 monthly salary is enough for you to live the rest of your life in comfort. You can own a land and buy a car with that salary for a year
@@whatthe9256 For a moment I thought 2000 can last a lifetime, I was about to ask which country so that I can migrate there :)
@@whatthe9256 You missed the point. You are still working 40 hours a week for most of your life. I earnt more today passively than I did in my day job! That is after one year. Long may the growth continue. I would then go part-time in my day job to have more time!
Desperate to get out of my 110k job that consumes 60 hours of my life per week. The last decade I'm making 0.1% from my savings account. This past year I started investing in the market and doubled my savings with Tesla

I’m 45 and finally realized that taking some time to research and invest in a good company is the easiest and best efficiency. I wish I knew this 10-15 years ago. But at least I found out. Better late than never. I was able to transfer all my savings I had that were is boring mutual funds that averaged 7% return these last 15 years into Tesla a hyper growth company. My family is FIRE now and time is on my side. Thank you!
Don’t be a donkey make money to invest money to give you freedom. Time is priceless.
nice!! thanks for sharing! better late than never 😊
Im 46 and im on the same path as you. Good luck!
@@ChickenGeniusSingapore but part of it was people like you were not around 10-15 years ago. You help so many people. You should be proud.
@@marcusv2226 nice! I was so lost in my thinking. Now I just want to tell everyone. All the best to you!
@Tesla Long ..Yeah I am 30 and work a decent job.. but very much interested in investing and build my portfolio so that I dont have to work after 10 years but do something that i love!!Wonder when you invested in Tesla?
Why doesn't this channel have 10x as many subs? He is so genuine and legitimately smart. I always trust his advice at this point. Solid principles and actual morals. Thank you for all of your hard work and honesty! You are truly improving people's lives man!
Chicken, cheers to you
Probably only a matter of time!
He will get there. He is getting there. Thats why he mentioned in this video, keep doing it and success will surely come. What I love about this guy is that he really analyses fundamentals in whatever he is doing and then he sticks to it. He has reached that sweet spot in life where he trusts his thought process and backs himself. Best of all, he has a golden heart to share his enlightenment with general public as well. Bless him.
Had to watch this video twice.... so many gems in this one Kenyuan. Thank you! The work you are doing is awesome. Please keep it up!
Thank you! The timing of this message was perfect
*"money is never the end goal"* solid advice
I'm doing also ecommerce for this exact reason ! It's not about money, it's about financial and time freedom !
🦾 to your success!
By e-commerce what do u mean like dropshipping ?
I’m starting out too my bro
Peace and blessings and much growth to you my bro 👊🏽
Wish I had the courage
My first attempt would be Shopify drop shipping but what keeps me away is fear of law suit
Stuff like copy right to where to import items, it’s a different ball game
this is channel is what I call my financial Yoga. Two classes this week awesome. Thank You
Hi Ken,
I just want to thank you for all the good advice you give to people on TH-cam. I am infinitely grateful and thankful for your dedication and honesty in helping others. the impact you create in people's lives is enormous and you may not know it but its true. I watch your videos all the time and you inspire me immensely. Thank you again for all that you do.
This video changed my life. I was considering changing careers to increase salary, but at the cost of LOTS of time, doing things I might not even enjoy that much! Thank you so much.
Ken, you are a good man re: the Subway incident. Some folks treat others like dirt. There's no need to do so. And you're right that Time Is Priceless and we should make the most / maximize it
Excellent job.
This is a huge subject, so please keep adding more content on this one
Thank you Ken for all you've done. You will leave a place in my heart❤️
I have been feeling this way for a while. Tired of trading time for money at a job.
I hope this video helps you Frank 😊
@@ChickenGeniusSingapore It really reinforces the mindset that I already have. This video was short, but very impactful; having the right mindset is important, taking action even more so. Thank you for all your insights in your videos.

Another Gem! ...TY C.G.S!! Wifey and I have spent the last 6 months watching your vids and implementing your advice. Essentially re-structuring everything from the way we file our taxes to the way we invest, how we earn $ and spend our time.. our ROI in in every area including time freedom and quality of life is now sooooo much better.. BIG THANKS to YOU Brotha!! No words for how much Cynthia and I appreciate you.
Your value proportional to impact on others.... great statement CGS, you are genius. Thank you!
I concur. I retired at 50 years old. The smartest move I ever made. Living the dream. 🦋
niceee
What did you do to get to that point, if I may ask? Assumingly you had a 9-5 at first and evolved over time.
@@MikeyBadabingBadaboom send me $20 and I’ll tell you
I like to thank you for sharing such a valuable video. I’m 23 and I’m starting to realize do I really want to have like a desk job for IT and do it for the rest of my life? Or do I want to give value or make some type of impact on the world since the internet makes it possible and especially with social media platform. I see my family members or friend working jobs they either don’t like or just working their ass off for money. But they never have time to enjoy life and what’s the value of money when you can never enjoy it while having a limited amount of time on this world. I’m thankful I’m starting to think this. If anyone is reading this. Be thankful for what you have. Never know when you time will come. Enjoy the moments. Love yourself always. Thank you for reading 😊
Love this channel immensely.
Awesome video Ken ... I’ve been asking this question for the last 10 years and a lot more frequently this year .. Thank you ..
Love this! Thank you for inspiring us. I quit my corporate job in 2018. Once in a while I go on LinkedIn and feel a little guilty like I'm falling behind... But your videos remind me that the time space I have to think are priceless. My energy can go into learning investing and focusing on improving myself vs making someone else money
This is probably the best advice you've given your subscribers. Time freedom is aspirational. What you do with your time should be inspirational to yourself and others. It took me a long time to figure that out. It boils down to happiness, which is your ultimate choice in life. LIVE FOR HAPPINESS.
100% on your comment Thompson. You speak from experience =)
The meaning of Happiness is too vague. Unless you transcend the ego you're still on a hedonistic treadmill - most people will realize this too late. Increase your awareness/lucidity level - this is what improves everything else.
I’ve been thinking this exact things you had just shared for months ! I know what to do now. Thanks for sharing and motivation !
You are so real! So spot-on. Thanks for the pep-talk. Much Prosperity & Happy Blessings!🦋🙏🦋 You are changing lives like mine with your Genius Chicken Chats! 👂👂I’m all ears!👂👂
As a doctor I can tell you you hit the doctor part of your video right on. What u say is exactly why I started a TH-cam channel and have continued it despite how time consuming it is and I don’t make a dime off of it. The amount of people I can reach has been humbling. Your insight in to matters is spot on my friend.
Docs are the real heroes. Thank you.
A mid week video?! What a pleasant surprise!
really wanted to connect to you guys ❤️
Bro, I appreciate how your videos come off as genuine and concerned about our wellbeing and progress. Thanks!
I subscribed today! Glad to be part of ur YT family. Tesla rocks!!
To some, these years will be remembered as the time they lost their job, for others, it will be remembered as the time they reached new levels of wealth. We should always be looking for opportunity.
Love it
I just took about 50% pay cut just to have more time with loved ones.
all love for u and your awesome channel!! thanks for the incredible value brotha!!
you're truly kind brother, many kind result is/will be around you. I'm truly grateful
“Your real value is directly proportional to the impact you have on others.” Genius
This is amazing stuff for positive change in the world.
You are worth your weight in gold, or TSLA, SQ....
Thank you! 😉
This is exactly the quote I saved in my notes, good minds think alike.
I really want to find my passion
'A man of action is favored by the goddess of good luck' - One big thing that has changed for me is to just DO things. I'm not where I want to be yet but I will be! Keep spreading the good knowledge and good vibes Chicken Genius :D
Thanks for sharing!!
@@ChickenGeniusSingapore Thank YOU for what you do :) Kopi on me someday, somehow xD
Thank you for your message, I like the idea of following our passions whilst helping others!! God bless you boy 🙏🙌🙏
This advice changed my life, thanks Chicken genius.
2 years ago when I ORDed, I was contemplating taking over my family's hawker business or working in the corporate sector..
After working for 2 years, I have decided to make the most out of my time and take over the business!!
Your video came at the right time! btw maybe I can do youtube videos about hawker life too 😄
As always, thanks for sharing!
Thanks for sharing! Where is your stall?
do videos, teach people what you do, all the little extra stuff you do to make your food better, if you can do 1 video a week like I mentioned about the doctor.. 1 year later it's gonna be different.
@@ChickenGeniusSingapore it's at marsilingmall01-15, selling traditional rojak/taopok youtiao and satay.
But we're only opened on fri,sat and sun currently due to manpower issue/my work, but it will change soon.
drop by if you are nearby, will jialiao for you haha.
Thank You @ChickenGeniusSingapore for sharing this!! It really motivates me to keep on going. The hardest thing to always do is to actually make changes. Finally started a dance channel on youtube after a decade of teaching !! After watching your vid, I'm going to churn videos out non stop until I make it one day. Thank you once again !! :D
I just visited your channel. Nice! Just a tip, watch for the type of videos that is more popular and focus on those.
Teaching people to dance also helps a lot to gain traction
@@ChickenGeniusSingapore Thanks for the advice !! :D
Man, this video actually gave me goosebumps! You’re content is fantastic. Your advice even better. I have been thinking about this exact thing lately. I haven’t put my finger on what I should be doing with my time yet, but it will come. Thank you!!
thank you for those wise words!!! keep up this kind of great content!! 👍🏽
As someone who just had his heart broken by a girlfriend this video is simple and solid. I have stopped my procrastination and have found that I have far more time than I ever did. Got to put it to use finally
Ken watching this video felt like a personal friend telling me to take the plunge! At the tipping point of making youtube videos and boom this video turns up.. believe either 'seek and the universe shall give' or youtube algorithms 😂
Thanks for the great talk, really appreciate you spending time to share your perspective 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
One of the best videos I’ve seen 👏 such a clear point, very inspiring
Not everyone is confident enough to be in front of the camera. In fact for an introvert like me who runs even from a picture, just imagining making videos is stressful.
I agree but there are plenty of huge channels that don't show their face
Im introvert myself but theres so many videos that don’t show their face or even speak, I may try something like that, I always seem to be doing things but forget to record to show the world :/ felt like i have lost on potential income
if it's hard, do other stuff. Just focus on values. Heart needs to be in the right place. I know it may seem crazy when I say this, I'm super introvert. I force myself actively because of my goals
@@ifeellikedying4040 yes I agree on this. There are indeed many channels that don't show people's faces. I have to find my niche and hopefully like-minded people.
I tried making videos but my voice is horrible and even without cam i got so nervous my voice gets even worse.
Yes, this is so true, i went from a job of $2,800 a month and started building an online biz in free time. hard at first. as income grew online. started working my J.O.B.(just over broke) 4 days a week then 3 days a week! after one year no more JOB! fast-forward 5 years now earn 6 figures on 1 hour a day. have 3 homes one on a tropical beach. 6 figure investment account. Thank you Genius from Singapore!!! time for health, family, friends and World Travel. Simple follow Genius advice, he is right on!!!
Dear Jimmie Cox, if you don't mind, may I ask what kind of online business you are doing and since when? I am keep thinking of starting my own biz as well in free time but, it is still too vague and I often feel like stuck somewhere without a good solution. If you could give a small bit of advice it would be super helpful! Thanks in advance and hope you have a nice day!
Excellent advice as always! You have a gift for communicating a complex idea in an entertaining, simple and direct manner.
I wasn't expecting a video today lol thank you :)
Thanks for another awesome video Ken!
Fellow Singaporean here.
This one really reasonates with me as am a white collar executive, knowing how many hours we put in our daily ‘Full time’ jobs especially in Singapore where OT is so common. Maybe I can start a side hustle doing videos in future etc. Just want to shout out and say thank you for giving us hope to get out of the Rat Race especially in Investing in Tesla and the constant reminders to hold in spite of volatility which can difficult at times. And also for raising awareness for Tesla in SG, where many Singaporeans are still skeptical/ not aware about the company
Cheers that we can ‘Huat’ together and looking forward to holding Tesla till retirement even before CPF payout at 55! Lol 👊🏻
If there is chance, would like to treat you to a drink sometime 👍🏻
Still waiting for ur videos
Mr Chicken Genius, Thank you so much. I can't even begin to explain how much your videos have helped me just in the past few months alone. Besides for making more money on my investments and learning to DO NOTHING and let my money grow, i've been applying your psychology to my business and trying new things. This week alone I have doubled my average sales by trying something new and free'd up more time AND i'm actually working less. This video has continued to inspire me and focus on innovation and new ideas and I just wanted to reach out and say THANK YOU. I hope you have a great day my friend!
OMG I'm so happy with your comment it gave me goose bumps. My goal is to change lives. Thank you for the message.
Great lesson CG! We always get value from your vids.. it’s up to us to take action😉
Appreciate the thought provoking video. You definitely have me thinking about work, retirement and the amount of time wasted that is not purposeful. Starting to brainstorm on ideas to help others and thanks for sharing your teachings. You are an amazing Aplus young man and servant leader who found your life purpose to help others. I look forward to your videos and share regularly w/family. Stay safe.😇😷💕🙏
“Nothing is instant” I heard that as I was stirring my instant coffee ☕️
😂😂😂😂
It’s still not instant.
Today is somewhat different and not in stocks. Wisdom of life you shared kudos. Thats why we need our money work harder in the market to earn us the time to use it more effectively and impact more lives positively and our family. Trust you're spending your precious time growing this channel and share good vibes to help the needy across the borders around the globe..
exactly...
my focus is pretty clear, to impact as many lives as I can =)
A sincere "thank you" for your videos CG. Yours is the only one I have activated for notifications. They are that much appreciated.
Wow, thank you
Love your passion to help others. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and ideas. Makes a ton of sense to me and I will definitely give it some careful thought.
"Nothing in this world is instant. Including instant noodles"
How we all crave to do the same! 🙏
😊
Thanks for your positivity, totally agree with your arguments !
Mr. Chicken, you are dope! Your intentions are pure and its refreshing. Thank you for your continued efforts to positively change the lives of people you dont even know. As always, all the best to you and yours. 👊
My passion is flowing all my money into Tesla stock.
Haha i like this passion
Tesla is the future.
Man there are so many useless youtubers out there and very few who make high quality content like you. Keep up the great work.
🙏🙏 I do my best
Love this message man. Been watching you for awhile and it’s so easy to see how your passion bleeds through the screen. Your honesty is very much appreciated
Awesome! Thank you!
Came across your channel only this year and at 21, I'm just so glad I have so much more time to do what I passionate about before I finish university. I hope to be able to retire by 35 and want to help my friends and family along this journey.
I'll definitely share your content with my friends and educate them if they have an open mind. Really wished I had someone tell me what you said at 12 and I would have SO MUCH time doing things I'm passionate about or trying new things without having to worry about money because I have my parents support me.
Edit: Finishing my NS in 18 days and starting university in 9 months time!!!!!!!
I LITERALLY LOVE YOU, GIVE ME YOUR LOVE OK.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ X million
@@ChickenGeniusSingapore This the first time I got response from famous person nice, I already knew all this information but it's good to tell people, I always tell my friends this and they like woww
@@puresightz707 Ken regularly responds, he's the best! 🥳
@@puresightz707
*I got "dibs" on him 1st!! He's my literal "dream guy"!!*
Plot twist: Ken throwing the 50 SGD at customer had message on it: "Buy Tesla"
Fantastic!! Much of what you said really resonated with me. Great video!
Great video and so encouraging!
Target is make enough money to stop working, no one became rich with their "salary"
exactly
Realy i would feel empty without working. I work with kids and it is so awsome. But a bit more money would be good.
My uncle had a high salary working repairing robots at auto factories. That money allowed him to purchase rental equipment and rental houses. He still kept working that salary job until he retired, including a lot of overtime. Now he has a lot of money he doesn't use. A bunch of stuff he bought but doesn't use. I don't think he even cares about the time he lost with family. He had the wrong values in life and is a bitter man. Meanwhile - I don't mind working a wage job, but desperately wish I could afford more business assets and do rentals myself.
Ventolus then you are already doing what you want. If anything you should work more.
Don’t listen to these people who think that money is the bottom line, they will be 60 years old and look back at their wasted life.
@@Nphen Same story with my old man. Pretty sure I am following his foot steps.. Atleast i know I am trying. 🍷 🕶️
Bought more Tesla shares today. Sold sucky shares to buy it. It was Coke, sucky stock. :D
lol.. good move.. coke not gonna grow much
@@JP-dz7zu lol
@@JP-dz7zu lol
I've been selling coke to buy tsla for years. Its sits well on my conscience
Nah coke is a solid stock, nice dividends
I love your expressions. Keep up the great work!
You are so right, thanks for all the Inspiration!!!
Analyst 1: Tesla is worth $500+/share, nothing happens
Analyst 2: Nio is worth $40/share, everyone wants to buy, stock 20%+.
Reason: speculators love cheap stocks and only see the short term
hahah true
I watched and recommended enough ChickenGenius to my family and friends that when my brother overheard this video, he ask "Is that ChickenGenius?" I went 😏😏
😂😂😂
Thx again sir! Another spot on video
Thank you CG for making us all a part of fulfilling your purpose on earth: making people happy through reconsidering their view on money!!! I see you know how the universe works and i wish everyone following you and riding your CG wave to be successful and spread your message! Very grateful Anf happy to see you living in alignment with your purpose!
this is exactly what i need, this rat race is toxic. Thanks sir
yay!! I hope this helps you 🦾🦾🦾
Seems like you have read Rich dad poor dad
I just hope to retire in Australia and spend my remaining days there
one of the most beautiful countries
Working on immigrating there myself. Good choice!
@@earthlyexpat is it hard to apply for working migration application?
@@earthlyexpat why ? It’s not what you think
Well said. One of the best episode.
I come back to this video for inspiration. Thanks Ken ❤️
Working twice as hard means you have no time to think about how to invest what you're earning. That's a bad deal all around!
But isn’t it a conundrum? You need a job to get the money to invest. There are also no guarantees. Some people will have smartly invested in Tesla. Others may have to nested wrongly in Nikola and lost everything
Or, do work twice as hard for one year. Don't forget about overtime pay (working twice as much would more than double your income). Invest the extra into Tesla, 5 years ago. See, it works.
On a more serious note. This is a valid strategy. I have a friend who started flipping houses with this method. He did not have to finance his first purchase. He's now moved on to building new houses.
How he started this? Flipping houses?
@@malemanjulpax2155 Yep, he worked 6 days a week for a little over a year. We have a unique situation where our shift differential is 57%. That differential is kept no matter when we work. An overtime example at $20 base pay - 20*1.57 = 31.4. Overtime is 31.4 * 1.5 = $47.1.
For us, it pays to work extra, especially with an investor mindset.
He bought his first house with cash. Fixed it up and sold it for a huge profit. Now he's building houses from scratch (while still working with me).
@@MrMcSnuffyFluffy Where do you guys work?
Aww.. But that doesn't work in Singapore. Only private properties which catered to at most 15% of the country's population would flipping be possible. Bear in mind private property prices command exorbitant prices.
This is a great video. Thanks for sharing
Thanks. You just changed my motivation to work for others from zero to negative.
I quit my professional engineering job after about 15 years (in Canada). It just didn't feel like it was worth it. The corporate grind, endless unproductive meetings, politics, people dragging tasks out etc. Ew.
I ended up getting into real estate with my wife. Couldn't be happier. Your observation that you'd rather work half for half the money is bang-on. We almost make as much as we did in the space industry, but work half the hours. And we get to do a lot of the work in our pyjamas!
You're awesome, keep it up and pass on the truths, brother. Everything they told us we should be doing is wrong.
thank Simon for sharing! We share the same views 😊
Just curious, what do you do in RE? I'm really considering the RE space as well but obviously that's a very broad target lol
@@JoshForet hey Josh. My wife has the RE license, and i do not, so i handle everything that doesn't require a license. bookkeeping, marketing, photos/ videos, staging help, etc. basically small business management. couldn't be happier, as it keeps me out of the corp.
@@simonp8088 Awesome! Congrats on getting out of the corporate world. Best of luck on your endeavors!
Thanks bro. Let me know if you need to talk/ any other info. I wish you all the best.
It took me 20 years of investing, but I finally managed to free myself from the "rat race". I made less than $40,000/yr and there were 6 years of the 20 in which I was not able to invest. Anyone can attain financial freedom. You have to get money to work for you.
nice! good on you!!
Finally got some income starting in March and as soon as immediate expenses were taken care of, started buying Tesla. Then a big $1100 investment before the split. Now, I buy a full share every time it goes under $400. Except this last one - cost-dollar-averaged and bought one for $418. So every share purchased under $420 - which is my new buy price. I would never dream of spending a 2 week paycheck to get one share before. But now I know where the stock is going - I can't not!
How is this possible? I would love for u to elaborate. Really is amazing to hear. Thanks
I lost my corporate job recently. Loved your vid on sometimes putting your bag down, I have my cash in Tesla and have just registered for my first business.
Thanks for the solid advice, I have 100% time to focus on my business and a float to keep me satisfied.
Staying in Singapore for more than a decade and got your channel recommended just few months back...Anyway better late than never. Thanks for all the help!!
Money printing has been the most devastating effect for all humans that ever placed foot on earth.

Hi KNY!!!!
Thank you for your advice. You do inspire me!
Ken I hope you are taking care of yourself. I pray for you. Your content is solid GOLD.
You are so freaking right! Thanks for opening my eyes.
Great advice. Wisdom lies herein!
It's very important people hear these thoughts about money. No one is getting this from our educational systems.
Keep teaching master Chicken!
Thanks so much for this - a lot to think about and I really appreciate it! (I'm watching this with one monitor while I'm doing my hourly administrative job on the other - stretching my time to learn new things!)
