I'm 22 atm & I find it very hard to find like-minded individuals, most people around my age only care about social media & celeb gossip. The pandemic has made things worse.
@@HesJustaPoorBoyNobodylovesHim 24 now, in a better place. I have one friend but that's fine with me. I'm comfortable with the fact that most people my age group wouldn't be suitable friends for me
I'm 23 years old and I don't have any idea where i have to go and what I'm gonna do with myself but you give me a lot of motivation..just keep going! Respect!
22yrs old, living in Birmingham with aspirations to break the 8-6 work cycle. This video really opened my eyes to areas I didn’t even associate with my ambitions. Currently working in a team with 2 mates (programmer, data guy & accountant/marketer) to develop something special. Please keep this content coming - I’ve watched this multiple times to align myself moving forward.
@@ChDaniel same goes to you mate! - just on a side note, I love the ‘Legit Check by Ch’ app you’ve developed & grown. Huge potential, will be following your progress! 🤞🏽
I hope you aren't disillusioned thinking that you need to have everything sorted by X age. My uncle was 60 and had absolutely nothing, lived on credit cards etc. Then he had heard of AirBnb, so decided he would give it a go as he has nothing to loose and setup a cabin in his garden, he's been doing it a couple of years and now he is earning pretty much earning what he used to a year every other month. Got his partner out of a job she hated and they're the happiest they have ever been. It's never too late! You're so young you really don't understand how young you are at 23, you could honestly mess around for the next 10 years and still have LOADS of time ahead of you!
As a 22 year old entrepreneur, I needed this - thank you Ben. I know you get told this hundreds of times a day, but you’re an inspiration to people like me. I can safely say that just 4 years after starting my first business that the life I live today is very, very different to that of the 18 year old when I started. I’m able to look after my parents, provide people with employment and cater towards my clients which ultimately helps them fulfil their dreams and potential. You’ve directly helped a lot of people Ben, thank you!
In a time of people chasing money, fame and the typical influencer content/entertainment lifestyle, I am so happy to see, there are people like you Ben, who care about real values, that are deeply important and not superficial. People like you, who pass real value in their content is so important. Really great to see that Ben, keep evolving :)
Being 23 right now and wanting to reach for the stars, this is some of the best advice ever. My advice for you of the back of this is to be present in the moment and take photos. People do disappear but photos don't, these are the memories you will be thankful for forever ❤️
I love how you said it’s so important to invest in your personal relationships! It’s so essential and unfortunately I think it’s something a lot of people tend to put to the side Thank you for sharing this video! Your ability to remain so personable and humble is truly so admirable
Your video just gave me hope and truly is a blessing to see this because I feel stuck at 23 and now I'm starting to come to my senses that I just need to believe in myself and sacrifice time on what matters!
a true leader and winner is a man whos humble, has a vision and keeps himself grounded. your story is extremely inspiring ben and youve inspired me throughout my own journey
This is such a concise and meaningful list of things to write/reflect on to our younger/present self, appreciate you for sharing. Praying for your grandfather Ben.
these videos are really changing my life ben i am being 100% serious no sugar coating it helps me understand how to humble myself and gain real wisdom from the people around me
Ben, how did you become so wise at such a young age? Clearly you’ve surrounded yourself with amazing people, but it’s something else to have developed such an incredible character so early in life. Thanks for sharing your advice (appreciate you leaving in the difficult granddad bit). Kudos 👊🏻
I've never come across such an effective words of wisdom. I'm 23, and i literally searched "Being 23" on my youtube and got this. I'm ao glad i found this video, you're gifted with touching people's life with your words and indeed we learn from experiences overtime and you've lived the '23' phase and i definitely believe in you. Love from India❤️
Love this mate ! You a true inspiration, you should be very proud of what you’ve accomplished! I’ve recently started a running page and RU-vid channel, losing 15kg and 10% BF! You’ve taught me to dream big! We definitely will cross path, have a great week Ben and your team 💙
How can you not love this man? What you are doing is out of this world with GymShark but the legacy you are already building is amazing. You give so much value and help so many people out. Thank you. The sky is the limit
Really enjoyed listening to this Ben. You are a great role model for many and have solid advice. Great to see you and Robin being supportive of each other and I am grateful that I have that in my life too 🙏🏻
I really do respect your out look in life Ben. As a fellow human, I too share the same values & put my family first before anything. I would really like to meet you in person one day as I always watch your videos & I feel as if know you so well. Just want say, very well done for achieving all you have achieved and no doubt, you will grow your empire millions time more.
Turning 23 this month and being a recent graduate this video really has hit home. Massively agree with the learning mindset and having stability, going to be a long process but believe we all can get there 🤞🏻
Hope you had a great birthday! and congratulations on the graduation! I'm in the same boat as you, the past 2 months has been really odd, going from a full schedule of work and finishing uni studies to moving home and doing close to nothing on a daily basis. I feel this sense of guilt that I'm not doing enough, and I end up reassuring myself that it's equally important to take time off to reset and recharge.
This is absolutely brilliant. I lost my job in October to Covid, then had a new one lined up, then it was cancelled when the lockdown was extended. I’m in a hole and it’s a big struggle. This has given me real motivation. Thanks Ben
Incredibly refreshing to see a young successful guy this humble and down to earth. I mean, talking about a stable personal life rather than material things?! Love it.
Quite possibly the best RU-vid video I have ever watched ; a really insightful topic that know matter how old the viewer , it’s possible to relate and reflect and maybe shed a tear, beautifully narrated from the heart Ben and edited to perfection what an awesome production team James and Lilly. 🤗
Sorry about your loss w your grandad , I understand your pain. Thank you for sharing that with us. You are truly an inspiration, and your words are touching. I am 23 soon 24 and have been trying to start up my brand and your video gave me insight of what to hold on to and value when doing so. I appreciate this!
Thank you for showing the world that even as being as successful as you are, you need people, family and love around you to be able to stand in this whirlwind of a world we live in. You are a true inspiration Ben.
I thoroughly enjoyed this video! I have to admit prior to watching this I had no idea you were the founder of Gymshark ( I know, I must be livin' under a rock!) I was looking for advice on youtube for 'life after uni' since I've been stuck in a rut the past month and stumbled across this. I cannot fault anything you said about the learning mindset, offering value, the importance of stability in your personal life and for quoting Jim Rohn. Your accomplishments are astonishing and this video really encapsulates all the emotion, very compelling and great story telling all round. Thank you for sharing.
Damn, this was incredibly powerful and emotional to watch. Also huge props to James for the editing yet again; those animations must have taken flippin' ages!
Thank you Oli, really appreciate that mate!! You're not wrong, they did take an awful long time, and plenty of times I began to regret going for this style haha!
Going to keep this simple. These videos are great especially in a time when it’s sometimes hard to find quality videos on RU-vid. The transparency really allows people to relate to you a lot more and helps their goals seem more attainable when they see how you’ve accomplished these massive goals with your hard work and dedication. Good luck with your growth!
For me Ben you are more than just an inspiration. You are the definition of what every person should aspire to be. Thanks for those wise words once again.
Hey Ben, I am really very impressed with you. It's really nice to see how down to earth you are even though you are so successful. I find your video very inspiring and I thank you very much for investing time and sharing your knowledge with other people. Not everyone does that and it shows your great personality. I can absolutely confirm your statements and find it very important to surround yourself only with good people. Especially important is the family. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us and I personally think this video is really cool, because it is something different. James and Lilly have done a very good work. Please keep up the good work and stay the way you are. I wish you and your family the best and especially health. I would be very happy to meet you in person. Best regards from Germany. Gazi
Honestly my RU-vid reccomendations are speaking to me. Thanks mate I'm 23 now and I needed to hear this to know that the tough times will pass and there's always light at the end of the tunnel. I'll take this advice on board and hopefully in 5 years time I can write a similar message to myself.
Thank you Ben for this video, very powerful message. I'm 20 years old, and If taken notes of every piece of knowledge you've shared to apply it now so my old me doesn't have to look back and give me the advices you've mentioned! You've been an inspiration for me for a long time, keep providing value with your wisdom and been an example for all. Enjoy the rest of the weekend ;)
Can we just take a moment to give full credit to the edit team working on Ben’s videos. So well crafted and the graphics work so well with the content. Really appreciate the effort that clearly goes into each one. Great job on every level guys 👏🏽☺️
Very genuine & humble personality you have Ben. People say money changes people but I think, it only brings out their true nature. Keep up the good work & you will only rip the good rewards. 👍
Hello Ben Francis, you are my inspiration to the work that I do today. Today my mother passed away and I wish I had got to know her a lot more. I couldn’t agree more with your words on relationships, and I love these tips. Thank you Ben, I wish you well.
as a 28 year old, I connect with this on a deep level Ben. appreciate your motivation to speak about positive, real life things considering your position as a high profile businessman and still considered "young". thanks for showing another, honest form of success
I feel like this made for me. Thank you for sharing these! I have followed your journey since the beginning and you have inspired me to go after my own dreams of creating a fitness line to support orphaned children around the world. As a 23 year old who is extremely entrepreneurial, it can be very easy to lose track of what's truly important in life, especially when your blinders are on and you're in the zone. Thank you so much for sharing!! PS.. I'm so sad that Covid has halted everything with you guys coming to Denver; please keep us/me updated on when you officially make the move out here! Sending love, blessings and positivity. Thank you!
