Getting ahead of 99% of people is actually pretty easy. 

I'm going to be buying back a LOT of my time in 2024 and basically living on as close to $0 as I possibly can as I reinvest everything into growing my creator business. It's going well (100k on IG, 7.5k on X, 1k on YT, etc.), but something REALLY appeals to me about the whole Alex Becker, Lambo-less, empty-house, laser-focused, spending-nothing season of life that you can mostly only get away with when you're relatively young. Working on my business just makes me HAPPY, I don't know. So I guess the major focus of 2024 is paying for as many other people's hours as I possibly can and putting THEIR hours toward building MY dream. I'm gonna take your advice on the meal prep too! Great video 🙌

AnthonyVicino My initial investment in myself is to dive into all your content, likely rewatching it multiple times to foster numerous paradigm shifts within me. I might make it a daily routine, especially the video where you share how it all began, starting from being broke and living in a bus - that's bound to be a super empowering and crucial shift for me. Just yesterday, I was contemplating the need to achieve something, and then I stumbled upon your videos.

Don't wanna sound like I'm thinking highly of myself.. yet I believe I have gathered a lot of valuable traits, skills, during so many tough years.. but I haven't been focused enough, to my deepest regret. This year I achieved a level of balance like I've never imagined I can but next year I want to get back to keep a journal, in a highly rigorous form. Wanna be determined, desciplined and focus on the priorities I believe in. (Btw, do you know the story about The jar of life?? : -)) ) And of course, wanna get into the best shape I possibly can. ; -) But the best is that the reason is not to post better pics on insta...... I want it because I want to become as reliable as possible in every ways of life, both physically and mentally.

*Just my 2cents... Skill 2: Writing is the most import tool againt ignorance. But yet there's a difference in articulation, comprehension, logical reasoning, factual proof and argumentation analysis. 2nd point: In debates or in daily conversation we rely on more on rethoric, wit to make a point appealing but this mess up our Intellectual development. - but this mess up our Intellectual development there should be a balance atleast a person should be conscience and must differentiate from the art of debate to the science of emotional reasoning (psychology) and academic credibity for an essay. 3rd point: And I think using a Case method in political or business issues like management consultancy Mckincy or BCG we may find new solutions or arrive at sound judgments. Also it does not depends on deep research but aptitude.

In 2023 I over spent on Mentors and DFY money making systems/funnels. Got me overwhelm and then guilt for lack of action. [I liked your video: Wake up when you say you will]. For 2024 I need to DO= Take Action, but after Clarity where I discard 80% and focus One Step At A Time. I'm considering outsourcing and hiring a VA who could force some accountability.

Thanks for the summary.

Hi @@AnthonyVicino can you please tell me where this link has gone? 14:43 learn how to tell Amazing Stories I've 14:44 dropped a link to my seven figureure 14:45 storytelling blueprint in the 14:47 description below so go grab a copy of 14:49 that it's completely free

Yeah, it is.

@@AnthonyVicino AnthonyVicino Why do you create these videos? Is it because you genuinely enjoy helping and empowering people, finding fulfillment in it? Your videos are of exceptional quality, beautifully crafted, and incredibly empowering. After watching, I've decided to strive for wealth myself. Your rapid success is motivating; prior to finding your video, I thought it might take me 20 years to make a million. Your story of how it all started for you was fascinating. I'm curious about your academic journey - were you an A student? Do you have an exceptionally high IQ? I wonder if someone like me, with an average IQ, can achieve success similar to yours. Another concern on my mind is the state of the world; is there still opportunity for financial success in 2023? I just discovered your content today, and I plan to watch all of it, eager to absorb your wisdom. It's incredibly empowering to stumble upon someone like you and have access to all your life lessons. Your efforts are truly appreciated.

Heck yeah it will be! Stay hard brothers and sisters, and blessings for everyone reading this 😊

Terrible video. Basically spend more money

@@Samanthax1221 Thanks for the love, Samantha. These are great questions. The main reason I create content is I just enjoy it. I love the process of writing and creating something new. But there are also business goals attached. The biggest goal is I want to write a New York Times Bestseller and one of the best ways to do that is by having an audience of people who want to read what you have to say. I was not an A student. My GPA through college was 2.8. With that said, I've had my IQ tested a few times in connection with my ADHD and I score exceptionally high... but with that said, I don't believe intelligence is a great indicator of success. Better traits that lead to success (in my book) are creativity, curiosity, focus, and discipline.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, Kate! Hope you have some amazing Holidays!

I'm so psyched to hear that, Peter. Thank you.

Thank you kindly!

Aw, thank you! I appreciate you so much!

Glad you enjoyed

I'm really psyched to hear that!

You're welcome!

Psyched to hear you're lovin'em!

I'm so excited to hear YOU'RE so excited. That's awesome. I'll be dropping most details in the newsletter, so stay tuned there!

Thanks for watching!

Nice! Psyched to hear we're in alignment.

My pleasure!

Ha! Thank you. I'm psyched you enjoyed this one.

I did a video called "How I became a millionaire on a low salary". Go watch that. I think it'll help.

Hells yeah! Psyched to hear that. Any skills in particular?

@@AnthonyVicino well I'm actually doing ACCA so definitely going to keep getting better at it. I've been learning so many new things. Find better ways to focus. And also writing, journaling, too 😁

Really psyched to hear that!

Thank you!

Thanks, Jon!

Couldn't agree more. The meal prep service we've been using for the past 9 month is Factor Meals. Been very happy with them.

Rad!

Nice!

Will do. Standby.

Wonderful! Psyched to hear that

Sorry to hear you've been struggling on the health front. Keep going!

I share bits and pieces of the story in different videos, but in short, when I first moved into the van, I had no idea I would go into business. At that point, I was working on my first science fiction novel as I thought that would be the solution to my money problem. Turns out, writing takes a long time and it can take years before you make meaningful money... I needed to find a way to make money in the meantime, which is what led to me to starting a window washing business with a buddy.

@@AnthonyVicino Anthony I was thinking of writing a science fiction novel. I actually wrote three chapters, but I started to feel what you described after some research. I just thought, nobody is going to buy this book, so I lost interest. Lately, I thought of it again, but you're saying this is probably a sign that my intuition is correct. My writing sucks anyway; I won't bother with that, as I don't have years to waste. Thanks again for your amazing videos, and I love that you responded.

To put forth another perspective, I write fantasy fiction full-time and yes, it did take years for me to get to this point, but that's because I didn't have the knowledge others possessed. Writing isn't a straightforward money-making business by any means, but I make 6 figures now and things are looking up each year, and there's nothing I'd rather do, so putting in the time was well worth it.

@@toddherzman126 Todd How did you initially break into the world of fantasy fiction writing, and what were some of the key steps or milestones in your journey to becoming a full-time writer? What specific knowledge or skills do you believe were essential for your success as a writer, and how did you acquire them over time? Could you share any insights or strategies you've found particularly effective for marketing and selling fantasy fiction books? How do you typically approach the process of writing and publishing a book, from initial concept to final publication? What challenges did you face along the way, and how did you overcome them? In terms of income generation, what are the primary sources of revenue for a fantasy fiction author like yourself? Are there any unexpected or lesser-known income streams that aspiring authors should be aware of? Can you provide any advice or recommendations for aspiring writers who are just starting out and looking to establish themselves in the industry? How do you stay motivated and inspired in your writing, particularly during periods of writer's block or self-doubt? Are there any specific tools, resources, or communities that you've found particularly helpful or valuable in your writing journey? Looking ahead, what do you see as the future trends or opportunities in the fantasy fiction genre, and how do you plan to adapt and evolve as a writer in response to these changes?

Working on my next book as we speak. Stay tuned! The meal service we currently use is Factor Meals.

Glad you enjoyed!!

Glad you enjoyed, Simon!

are you gay ?@@AnthonyVicino

We've been using Factor meals for the last 6-8 meals. Friggin love them!

Completely agree

Same for me as well.

Glad you enjoyed!

That's a great motto.

I'm really psyched to hear you're enjoying the content (and topics!)

I've used a bunch, but for the past six months we've been using Factor Meals. They've been our favorite by far.

Thanks, just checked them out. They actually look pretty good!

That study blew my mind. It's crazy how low the bar for fitness is set.

Psyched you found the channel!

I really appreciate the love. For what it's worth, the person who learns the most from this content is myself. Still working on all this stuff every single day.

@@AnthonyVicino I bet : ) I have some of my favourite quotes printed and framed on my wall, in case I feel a bit weak.. One of these says: "People often say that motivation doesn't last. Well, neither does bathing. That's why we recommend it daily." : -))))) I always loved these simple and witty insights that carry a lot of meaning....

The best ideas come outside the box.

Good reframing

Factor Meals

Too funny. Funny side note: Last time I traveled out of the state was to a weekened getaway with Chris and a bunch of other creators. Small world.

I agree. Really not a fan of "comparing" myself to others in any context. It's just a bad frame of mind. But we followed the trend with this one and tried to add some unique value, so hopefully you end up enjoying it. I appreciate your feedback on the title, though!

Exactly 💯 I was like 🤨when I saw the thumbnail cus I have also seen it too

But he do provide value

I think the deeper question is why do you feel so triggered by the title while others see it as motivation.

Thank you!!! I have a feeling this is going to be a game changer for me! Thank you for sharing this. ❤

Dictation is probably gonna have to be the path forward.

I really appreciate the love. Thank you!

Do it! Meal prep is a great business model if you love cooking.

Here ya go: anthonyvicino.com/story-workshop/ We're working on launching a community that gives access to all of my workshops and classes, so I would actually hold off on picking this up (as it will be included in the community) and just join the Apex Collective when it launches in a couple weeks.

FInances are definitely the hardest one to solve for when you're young. Give it time.

I love your newsletter, like your writing style and great content.❤

I'm really psyched to hear you're enjoying the newsletter. Also, I appreciate the feedback on what parts of the content are resonating and which aren't. If you wouldn't mind, could you give a specific example from a recent video that you didn't enjoy?

No, that math is correct once you factor in the 15 minutes it takes to make breakfast, 15 minutes to make lunch, 30 minute for dinner, and then 30 minutes it takes to rinse dishes and then load/unload dishwasher. These things add up pretty quick.

I mispoke. The correction is the text across the screen. Nothing else we can really do here, unfortunately.

@@AnthonyVicino Ah okay, nice video either way! Thanks for providing value for so many people with your content 🙏.

Forensic Psychology specifically. I worked in the field for a veeery brief period of time (less than 6 months) and realized it wasn't even remotely a good fit for me. I love psychology, but the application (specifically in that field) wasn't for me.

Sorry to hear that

I dig it

That could work.

@@AnthonyVicino 😂😂😂

Sorry Kayla, your comment slipped through the cracks. Here ya go: anthonyvicino.com/story-workshop/

I traveled a lot through my 20s as a professional rock climber. Couldn't really afford all the travel, though, which is how I accrued $80k of debt and eventually found myself with no other choice but to live in a van.

@@AnthonyVicino, wow!! With all that you have going on you actually respond to posts on your RU-vid channel?? That's impressive!! I'm 58 and starting on (financially) after a divorce. I appreciate your page. Thank you!! It's actually very helpful!

I try. Part of the fun of creating videos is getting to engage with people who are enjoying them. :) Thanks for being here.

Certainly doesn't hurt.

I'm open to hearing how you would break down the math.

I appreciate you watching. Sorry if it was over your head.

Sorry not sorry

Thank you!

@@AnthonyVicino It wouldn't hurt if you could recommend a few books on sales given your vast knowledge. But even one would suffice. And PLEASE CONTINUE MAKING THESE VIDEOS, they mean a whole lot... They save lives!
