It's a common misconception that when a stock you buy skyrockets, the smart thing to do is sell it (or at least sell some of it) to lock in your profits. But the context matters. If the stock has increased sharply because the business is performing exceptionally well, it could still be a bargain. I'm still looking for companies to make additions to my $350K portfolio, to boost performance. Here for ideas...

A+ students who value a good job always end up working for D- students who value understanding money.

As an avid investor, I often mull over how accomplished investors are able to amass fortunes through their investment endeavors. Presently, I hold equity exceeding $545K from a recent home sale, yet I'm uncertain about my next investment move. Should I consider buying stocks at this time, or should I await another opportunity?

I just made my very first investment, I can now say I've took my first step into this world and I don't plan on backing out! Thanks Mark for the encouragement!!

On a side note, it horrifies me that there are teachers whom have the nerve to talk down and belittle their students like that. I keep hearing the same stories "you'll never amount to nothing" despite never having a teacher saying that to me. It's borderline evil to tell a growing student that you'll never go nowhere... sounds like only bitter miserable people say that to kids

The S&P 500, if one sticks with it, outpaces inflation by many percentage points. I just want my money to keep outgrowing the inflation rate. That is why I'm looking for companies now to put in $80k for a start. Just don't know how to proceed

I’m under pressure to grow my reserve that currently holds about $500k. I’m down by 20% already following the crash and I fear I could lose more.

With $450k to invest, should I follow expert strategies to avoid financial losses and emotional stress?

Most rich people stay rich by spending like the poor and investing without no stopping then most poor people stay poor by spending like the rich yet not investing like the rich but impressing them

Do it, give yourself £5000 in a bank account and a seudoname, and start over again. Document it so we can see the journey, and don't forget no dipping into your real funds during the experiment

One big point that he is missing is that investing can also cause you to lose money (which is very important) and borrowing more debts can really put you into a bottomless pit if finances are not managed properly. What was discussed in this video is depicting perfect life scenarios but in reality it does not work that way.

Best way to make money is to tell everyone else how to make money.

MARK IS AMAZING. “HOW I CREATE WEALTH”

I needed this video a good 5 yrs ago. Lack of information and true financial knowledge is killing people and their potential, I’m glad so the kind of information I find these days ever since I shifted my mindset just a little. Couldn’t tell u how happy I am for the videos u make🙏 I’m working on building myself

You guys stepped your production and editing up quite a bit! congrats, looking good!

Another wonderful and inspiring video Mark! Always something new to take away from every one of your stories. Thank you!

Love the idea of prioritizing investments. Thanks Mark for another great lesson!

Hi mark, Im from Taiwan and have been watching your videos right around when covid started. I just wanted to thank you for putting out great contnet, and the effort you put in these videos. I can see the video qualities getting better everyvideo from the edits and stuff.

Let start by going from 0 to 20$

He doesnt have to share this with us but he does..Youre the real MVP Mark thank you.

Hi mark just wanted to ask a question for the debt strategy when you started to talk about buying homes what would you advise when buying your first properties would you buy them with a deposit and pay the rest slowly with income or should you wait until you can afford to buy the property in whole and pay for the refurb without taking any loans?

the last bit about a tree growing is the best analogy

I wish I could sit down with Mark and have a conversation for just an hour!

Excellent work Mark. Really enjoyed this

The timer at the bottom left corner for each chapters playback duration, brilliant!!!!

Hello from Canada Mark, I have just discovered your channel and I have to say I am addicted! You are so inspirational and sincere. I got sucked into the Amazon FBA hype a couple years ago, and I would say about broke even but it never really went anywhere. It is so true that the “experts” promote the hype and are just making money off their courses. While my situation is different than most peoples, who are probably watching your videos, and I know I am most likely too late in life to get incredibly rich… My goal is to improve my investments in order to make my retirement as comfortable and enjoyable as possible, and hopefully to be able to retire a bit earlier than the traditional retirement age. With this goal in mind, I am finding a lot of motivation and value in your content. Thank you so much for doing such an amazing job with your videos… I do, however, have one question for you if you actually read this. Just wondering why such a successful person as yourself is putting so much time and effort into making a successful RU-vid channel? I know it takes a lot of time and effort and takes a while before you see much reward. But obviously you must not be doing it for the financial reasons… So why? Thank you, and again….Amazing channel! Cheers!

Building wealth from nothing involves consistent saving, disciplined spending, and strategic investments. Begin by creating a budget to track expenses and identify areas for savings. Prioritize paying off high-interest debt and establishing an emergency fund. As you build a foundation, start investing in low-cost options like index funds, and focus on continuous learning and improving your skills for better income opportunities.

i have been watching a lot of video about money and this one just was the perfect video i saw i learnd a lot thx m8

Im just barely starting the second step right now. Literally in the waiting stage. My background check. After that, I owe a fair bit of money, but I know ill have that taken care of in spades. During this off time ive done miles of research regarding investments as well as put together a pitch for me to follow and given myself 25 years to follow through with it. Technically if all went well i could do it in just 5-10 years. But ive given my well thought out plan of attack a 8 miles of wiggle room. This way i dont strain myself or over invest before im ready and at that point, its not over investing. Its just investing.

Learning is honestly the key to everything! Good video Mark. Love learning from you

Love your videos Mark! Keep it up!

Excellent video Mark, I’ve learnt so much from your content over the last year or so. Your explanation of the 3 W’s really hits nail on the head, top bloke 👍🏻

One of the most useful channels on RU-vid

Great editing, I love how you improved since day 1.. great to see the numbers grow also

You can see the dedication on his vids from the quality of them and how he has liked and responded to 100s of comments

this is the best video about money, investing, being and becoming rich I've seen so far. thank you so much!

Millionaires are made in crash, so the more stocks drop, the more I buy, in the meanwhile I'm just focused on making better investments and earning more, apparently there are strategies to 3x gains in this present market cos I read of someone that pulled a profit of $350k within 2months, and it would really help if you could make a video covering these strategies.

I'm just going to take the time to thank you. Great video. I'm realizing everyday that working for a company long-term in most cases is not at all comparable to the financial freedom one can get from investing and owning their own business. I'm on a roll.

Thank you very much Sir for your effort. Its a plessure to learn from your experience. Cheers from swiss

I wish this man could hold my hand and walk me through being rich.

All these are great strategies for long term wealth. Thanks for the nice summary.

This is way useful then going to college, which it's actually expensive

Always love the format of these videos

Appreciate the sharing, Mark! Very wise advise!

Good content video ! Thank you. I am currently hopping on that saddle , which is every key that you just talked about !

i dont get teachers...crushing kids with statements like "youre headed nowhere", "you continuing studying is everyones waste of time"...

3:17 I love how Cooper has abs on his shoulder

Thank you Mark for sharing your wisdom and knowledge. I enjoy watching what you’re sharing. I want ask you if you could gave us advice on how to know the right investments or what are your recommendations for beginners?

I'm a plumber (actually starting a new role as a software dev next week) but ill still keep doing plumbing on the side. It's also hard to find good customers, people want the cheapest price at the moment which rules me out of a lot of jobs.

Really loving these new Animations!

Great video full of lots of great advice! I teach a personal finance class at a college and try to relay many of the same points. Nice job covering really important topics!

This is what the youth needs... i grew up in a hard and i mean VERY hard working family... my father is the kind of person that would not be able to sell something to someone he would always give for free.. and i do admire him for that and everything he has done for me.. i know he didn't know better... because i'm 27 now and struggling financially because i was always forced to go to school which i never liked and i was discouraged from pursuing music that i wanted so much and now i'm neither.. somewhere in the middle.... i wish i knew things like this when i was younger hopefully it's still not late !

Just graduated highschool, so im relatively young. I invested in tools for a shop and my parents generously let me use the garage as a workspace in exchange for labour. I will always strive to invest. A teacher asked my fellow classmates what they would do with a million they all said travel. I did not I would invest in manufacture level machinery and im set for live with some thought put into it of course

Every beginning is hard. Once you establish positive feedback loops it gets much easier!

very informative video thank you for making it.

good advice, always think outside of the box, and take action!

The content is SUPER, also, the progress bar of each topic is GREAT.

Great advice, appreciate the videos being free and straightforward. Would be good to see advice for older people and advice, time against you if you are but encouragement to inform them it is never too late as I've also witnessed.

Wasters: "Money doesn't make you happy" Worriers: "Money doesn't grow on trees" Winners: "Money isn't real."

Hi Mark 😁Great content, I love how you always try to teach us how to make better of ourselves. I had tough last year, and that's why I started some dropshipping five months ago with almost no money so I could help my parents. Only used winner products from Winner Zilla (which is really valuable service IMO, with lots of premium products with everything you need for your store). Now I am owning two online stores, and my income is about 15-20k each month. Honestly never been happier in my life.

The "buy upgrades for your car" part was incredibly personal

Much better quality in your videos recently! Well done boss 👏

Hey Mark, I'm 14 years old going to high school next year! I hope your method works and I sure will start investing money and work hard Thanks Alot Mark! ( UPDATE ) I'm 15 now and I will be getting a side job or part time job during the summer to save some money and I have now officially have a credit card.

It's great that you are helping the younger generation

Thanks for another great video Mark!

Thanks Mark, I’m investing in myself ☺️

You look like the Grand Dad I've never had, full of good life advices and kindness. Love you !

Love you Mark, thanks for the lifesaving tips!

I think that cybersecurity will be a big thing especially in the future. Mark, let me know if you agree!

Interesting take on how “The C+ student versus the A+ student”. I found that many times it’s not dependent on grades at all, and only on the willing to continue learning. I am an honors student, and I invest in real estate, I barely finished high school. Applying myself in college yielded grades I never had seen before in my life. Increasing the value and never saying “I know.” It was easy to get “good” grades. I feel that we all possess a certain level of intelligence that will help make life easier in anything that you do, it depends on the input value of knowledge you’re getting, and the output you’re generating from that knowledge. To create a better life, which produces a better lifestyle.

Just a heads up in regards to the real estate idea he proposed, you definitely want to do this in an area with active sellings occurring. My area has next to 0 sellings occurring and home values have only gone up +.25x in value as no one is selling or buying in my area. My renovations have barely even improved the value of my house, and they certainly have not improved the value over what I spent on renos

The quality of your videos/editing is superb, love it. Cheers, Sam

Thx this actually helped so much!

Love the new animations!

Great advice!

Very informative and enjoyable. Thank you.

I'm trying to make a toy store. I've been following some of your tips. Thank you mark :)

Hello Mark, I've seen you do a few of these starting from scratch videos over the past couple years. I would love to see what you would recommend for those of us in our late 30s to 50s that already have accumulated debt (30k - 50k) with a family to support and already having a mortgage which requiresa person to work 16 hours a day. Lack of knowledge coupled with bad luck and bad decisions can easily lead to and keep people poor.

This is one of the most helpful investment strategies and advice ive seen yet...I would do anything to have this golden instruction daily

Thanks for the video I learned something new despite watching plenty of simular videos One thing I would mention would be taxes and to pay it in order to not get in trouble later when your finnancials become more "visable"

Great video mark! I love learning these days, and i want to get the best information from the people who actually did it because of how colleges are these days.

Hey, Mark. I love your videos and have been watching them for over a year now. One thing I'd like you to clarify for everyone is at what age you first became a millionaire. This video (and at least one more) claims "early twenties" and there are others that state "late twenties." Which is it? It seems more realistic that it would take you about ten years starting from scratch to reach millionaire status than just a few years.

Thank you very much for sharing Sir

Smart content, Great speaker and excellent editing!

Nobody give me such a good money knowledge. my father just forces me to study and get a degree. Thank you.

Danke!

Most of what u said is right except investing in stocks market in the beginning.

Great tips Mark!

The 3 D's turned into the 3 W's. Lol.

This is amazing content, thank you for years of hard work. I hope to become as rich and wise as you one day. Currently I am doing dropshipping as a side job, and I absolutely love it. Don' know if I should call it side job when it brings me vast majority of my money... It's really great IMO, especially last few months (I started using tools like Famester to boost my content, and WinnerZila for products and everything else I need for my online store. These two tools make it a lot easier to manage and run). I hope that one day we are all going to be rich!!

•Make investment budget! Money grow on trees if you see it from differently mindset. •Increase your value! Reach your maximum earning potential by improving your skill set! •invest in building your own business and along side investing too’ •use debt strategically! Use it to leverage OPM to maximise your investments! It is not everytime bad ! •NEVER INVEST YOUR EARNED INCOME INSTEAD USE INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO RETURNS TO COVER YOUR EXPENSES!

thanks mark! I love da info you be slangin fr fr. May I see a money spread tho😎😎

Another easy to watch video with great advice and motivation to do greater things! Cheers mate!

Thank you sir

I think my problem is that I end up becoming a professional learner without putting whatever I learn into money making. So I know a lot.

Very valuable content thank you 👏🏽👏🏽

I love this guy, he explains everything so well

The key to investing is risk management 🙏🏾

“Money doesnt make you happy! However, at the same time, they’re spending all of theirs trying to improve their lives” SPOT ON!
