He was poor to the point where he couldn't afford to live on his own in Vancouver because it is very expensive to live there. I'm sure he had some money saved or even borrowed from somebody in order to fly to Thailand. Stefan's story is incredibly inspirational and should be appreciated, not questioned in this manner.
The title of the video is based on the e-mail question I received from the person, and this is my response. You start a business while having a full-time job by MAKING THE TIME FOR IT. While you have your job, you must commit your weekends and evenings to do what it takes to get your new business off the ground and make it successful. I said this in the video, and it's relevant to the title, and it should answers your question. :-)
Great video Stefan! I've learned recently that unless you want success as much as you want to breathe, you won't be successful. Thank you for reminding us how much hard work it takes in order to live an extraordinary life.
This was an amazing story. I can't believe you really did start small having a goal to achieve 300 dollars while you were in Southeast Asia. That is truly inspiring because watching your recent videos you emphasized the importance of starting small. I can clearly connect the dots of your starting small experience to your now story telling experience with your recent videos. Amazing story buddy.
For what is worth you answered my question. Especially when you told your personal story about quitting your job. So often I feel like that's what I would love to do, but I came to the conclusion that I just have to sacrifice more free time. Your point was well made.
This is an inspirational video and I appreciate the fact that you point out the reality of setting up your business and the sacrifices you needed to make. Too many motivational speakers focus on telling us what we want to hear, they neglect to tell us just how much work it's going to take. Are there any business books, videos or other resources you could recommend?
It's called a credit card. :-) I still had an income come in, but it wasn't much and I made a sacrifice to live on my friends couch so I could pay off credit card debt that I had. The great thing about Thailand is you can live for only a couple hundred dollars per month, whereas in Vancouver to have your own place and live costs a couple thousand per month. Turns out it was a good financial decision at the time too!
Great video, I believe you have to have the desire and passion to pursue your business. Without that you’ll burn out and feel unmotivated every quickly
Hey Stefan, great videos! I get everytime a lot of energy when I watch them! Just signed in for the 100days challenge, now I am thinking about which goals I can set myself! Any inspirations on how to create new goals? Thanks!
The E-Myth is good, along with The 4 Hour Work Week. I have some reviews of those up on my blog if you search for them. Another one I enjoyed was one called F.U. Money by Dan Lok, not sure if you can find it anymore, but it's geared towards internet marketing and really motivated me when I first started out. I prefer a lot of online courses or programs for learning business-related stuff rather than books.
If he was so broke he was living on someone's couch, how did he afford to get to Thailand? Then he was so poor but he made it to the gym to work out? I think his idea of poor and my idea of poor are different.
Helpful video, even almost four years later :) I have young children, though, so I worry that it's damaging to them for me to focus exclusively on my business. I need to factor their needs into my schedule, because it feels unfair for me to sacrifice their well-being no matter how successful I can be ultimately. I won't get their early years back...I had no idea that Vancouver was so expensive! I live in SF Bay area, though, so I understand. I would never think to leave the country just to cut down on cost of living. Is that a typical strategy for folks in Vancouver? Maybe I should consider it :)
Jarod Billingslea rent is just a bill that would come from your 9-5. maybe take an hour or so on weekends for personal chores, appointments, groceries, cleaning. but sometimes even those chores have to fall on the wayside if you have a deadline for your business

So where is the part about "How To Start A Business When You Have A Full Time Job"? This video should have been called, "How many different ways can I say the same thing about sacrifice". Not trying to be a jerk, but it bothers me when the content of a video is not what the title suggests.
Sacrifice is very important if you want to be a successful interprenuer

Thank you for this. I've never heard a real entrepreneur that started from the bottom and is not famous.
Good video, but did you know you took until the 4:15 Min mark to answer the question.

Your videos come at exactly the right time for me! And I've just come back from backpacking around Thailand last week!

That's a great realization Ken! Thanks for the comment.

I learned a few of the basics, but don't remember anymore. It's amazing there!
Hey Stefan,

Hi Stefan how long did you send in Thai and how did you cope with the language
3 months and people speak English there.
Cause if you are, cool
If you work a 9-5 and work on your side business from 5-11, how do you even make time for other responsibilities, like rent? o_O

So where is the part about "How To Start A Business When You Have A Full Time Job"? This video should have been called, "How many different ways can I say the same thing about sacrifice". Not trying to be a jerk, but it bothers me when the content of a video is not what the title suggests.
Nice video!
