What I do for a living to afford a Lamborghini. 

I remember watching this back then. Hes really done what he truly believed in, its nice to see

What's up with all the hate on this video? The man has some solid advice

A complete book for free in less than 10 minutes, some really good advice bro!

Thank you Rob. I watched this video 8 years ago, back when I was 17. I don't know where I would be now if I didn't find this video. Back then my parents divorced, I dropped out of the german equivalent of college, was living at my grandparents place and had to share a room with my mother who was on welfare because she was mentally unstable at that time. I had no plan in my live and faced depression numerous times. ADHD, anger issues, low self esteem, doubts and anxiety corrupted my mind on the daily. You made me realize that I don't need to be like others, follow the ordinary. I followed my passions without knowing and became everything I ever truly wanted to be. And in this way, I became unique. You changed me for good and then I made people around me change. I attract the right people and met amazing personalities that see potential in me. Today I can happily say, even though I went through a lot since I turned 18, that I am happy. I made peace with my mind and became mindful. I recently realized that wanting to 'have' something is foolish and wanting to 'become' something is filled with passion. I now 'own' and 'am' way more than other people could ever want. I already made it and there's no reason to compare myself to others anymore. So now at this very moment I'm changing my egoistic and corrupted belief/dogma that 'I need to be better' or that 'I need to prove and show others', which gave me energy all these years to: 'I follow my passions.' Again: Thank you Rob. You made me become who I am. This video was my first step.

idk if my ocd is kicking in, but all i want to tell this dude is to just finish painting his blue wall... there is white in the top corner.

In an age when it's hard to watch 15 seconds of video before moving on to something else, I was able to watch this whole video without losing my attention.... that sir, was some serious black magic. I don't know how you did it, but I think it was a combination of your authenticity and demeanor. Well done.

Rob, 3 years ago today I watched this video. When I watched I honestly though I'll own a Lambo in my life by just doing my job. I'm proud to say I have officially purchased a Lambo just by grinding and saving up money. I can say it was well worth it and thanks for the advice

Who's here from Graham Stephan's video when he hit 1M?

Most people lack motivation. A lot of success in this world can be had without college. Self education is very powerful.

I had a tai lopez ad before this

You forgot to say: "I'm here in my garage"

guy drives a Lamborghini and wears a cartoon star wars shirt hes my idol

After 3 years of college, and in a dead end job, I still have no clue what I am actually good at. I'm watching this video trying to think what I am good at, and I would be able to perceive in life, but iI seem to always come empty handed. I know I am only 20, but hearing you, and many others starting their great careers at an age younger than me makes me wonder when I'll find my calling. I think i would be good at renovations on the housing market, but that requires money that i just don't have. Also, marketing it my "major" per-say, but with the limited amount of businesses around my area that are actually hiring for a position like that, I feel like I don't have that edge like someone like you to get the hell up and do something about it. This is more of a vent than a "cry" for help, but i enjoyed this video and you have earned a new subscriber. Love the car!

I really liked the point about nobody owing you anything. And also "cut the crap". Most people fail to understand that. I'm in college and I'm really lucky to have realized that the world is very simple: exchange value for value. If you want to make money, you HAVE to be able to give something in return. Nobody gives a shit about what degree you have. You have to GIVE your expertise/services/labor/... first and THEN you get your money. This rule extends beyond the realm of businesses as well.

I was focused on how he didn't finish painting the wall.

this is christmas day 2015.. time 6 am.. subscribed n all.... i hav this feeling that this vid changed my life forever

You seem like such a genuine guy, and i'm sure you deserve to own a Lamborghini unlike some people.

Now you can buy some paint, and finish painting the garagel

Hey Rob, i stumbled across your UPS video's via reddit and this video popped up. Thank you for this. Because of this, as well as being a car enthusiast I have subbed! Much love man.

I discovered your videos late last night. I was internet shopping for my first Corvette when I happened to spot your bright yellow beast on youtube. Before I went to bed I had watched several of your vids and I have enjoyed them all. Today, I will go back to my Corvette shopping, but first I wanted to tell you a few things. I think you're an incredible young man and I believe you are making a difference in the lives of complete strangers. I intend to make some of your videos required viewing for my grandchildren....especially this video. Just so you'll know that I am not some easily impressed kid looking for his go fast car: I am a retired 67 year old guy whose been happily married to my beautiful and fun loving bride for over 44 fantastic years. Rob, you have a great personal story, you're wired right, and your message is one that many of our youth need to understand....the sooner the better. Thank you for your efforts. Cheers from my mountain top on the Olympic Peninsula in the wet state of Washington.

You are freaking fantastic man. When I was young; around fourteen years old, I had lost a lot of people including my father and I thought the world owed me everything. The second that I realized that the world didn't owe me anything, and nobody was going to do anything for me was the day I started being successful. I don't think I've ever found videos of someone that is so much like me in mindset. Right now I'm 19 and this year I should make at least 100k, last year I made 90k. Way to go man, even listening to you helps me broaden my horizons. The willingness to wait is a humongous part of growing up and being successful. I could go out at the end of this year and spend all my savings on a Porsche 911, or I could save it, invest it, and get myself to the point where I can hopefully buy multiple cars. Thanks for the video man, subbed hard.

I take ur words as motivation for myself to get on it, I don't want a lambo but in order to get what I want, i'm definatly gonna try harder to find my niche.

I'm good at robbing a bank? Thanks man, Ima round up my hommies and we gonna hit the big ones!

Man i felt so freaking bad when you said "i played 80 days of WoW".... I played about 300 days OMG I FEEL SO BAD

Sounds like my current/future life. I work in the IT business, I also started off fixing neighbors computers. Around a year ago, I had the self talk about why I don't have what I want and started working constantly to achieve my goals. I went from $200 a month in 2012 to a decent paying job in 2013. Then in 2014 I took a vacation in Japan and also Korea, all expenses paid with money I saved up. Now, I'm finishing up my degree, and writing programs/apps for businesses and saving up to expat to Seoul or Tokyo(Shinjuku). Then get a Lambo or Ferrari, but a used one though, since I would be saving 50%+ over the price new model. By the way, I'm 20. And I learned last year I needed to get my priorities straight. I would love to cruise around in an Amuse 370z, but I'd rather save up that money to buy a lamb or ferrari, so for right now I'm staying in my 4cyl honda with over 210K miles. I subscribed as well.

Ironic how this simple video cutting to the chase is more informative than 50,000,000 of the other "how I got a lamborghni" vids and its realistic and not asking for anything.

Dude, you're awesome. The one thing I look for in people is how genuine they are, and in less than ten minutes I can honestly say I already look up to you. I'm pursuing acting (I see it as I'm still young enough to make mistakes and all and strive for the idealistic dream) and after a year of that everything's looking like it's on the up and up; but ever since I was a child I always wanted to drive a lambo but didn't want to own one (simply because I wouldn't want to show up to an applebee's or something with some friends and have an "appreciated" internal value of my car), and in 8 minutes you've given me hope that I could be able to afford one and still be able to count and hold true the blessings I possess. This'll probably be lost, but you're a candle in this world, and holding true to everything and your place in it all is a trait we can all aspire to call a part of ourselves.

This made my day man!!! All seriousness!!! It opened my mind and make me think differently!! Thank you, I appreciate the fact you kept it real! Even tho this is an old video, I still respect it!!!!

Dude, your videos are so sincere, real, and from the heart. You're straight up, no beating around the bush. I've spending way too much time watching super car videos when I could be investing that time in bettering myself. And you provide the perfect amount of hope and possibility while still being realistic about life. Which seems like the perfect solution to success. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video for us.

I was all for this video until he said "you cant make money playing video games" Maybe this guy doesnt know much. How can he be on youtube, and work in IT, and not know how you can make a shit ton of money by playing games?

I know it's been years since this was posted, but I needed this. Thank you

This video is so awesome, man. Love that you're so relatable and down to earth.

This is seriously the best video on RU-vid. Just last night, I had a similar chat with my girlfriend - we're both graduating from college soon, we're both kinda clueless as to what it is that we're going to do, but we both know what it is that we like and we both know what it is that we're good at. Somehow or other, we figured out that we have to exploit those things if we're gonna make it, and we're gonna have to be innovative too - the world isn't as friendly as it maybe used to be, people very much need to carve out their own niche (as you say here) nowadays. Your video basically summed up our conversation pretty much perfectly. Given that you've been what I'd consider to be successful, I feel fairly confident that we're on the right track too, provided that we keep on trying and keep on believing at we can do it.

You should be a motivational speaker.

Thanks dude

"Exploit your strengths" That, is great fucking advice. Audit yourself, and stop doing what you suck at.

You sir, have gained my subscription P.S. You remind me of Steve Lemme

Hey, I started my own computer business last year and I can really relate to your story. I was studying and I asked myself, what do I really want? And I decided to start my own company. While writing this comment, I have a couple of computers around me that are not mine. At first I thought "I'm never going to make it, my company is going to fail!" But I kept going and now I can almost live from my company. Guys, you have to believe Rob. You have to work hard, but it's worth it. Really.

How to afford a lamborghini: Step 1: Save up at least 120k. Step 2: BUY A USED LAMBO FOR 120K AND BELOW!!!!!!!

the sound advice is only magnified by the truly sincere delivery. thank you for making this.

I don't care what the others say, man. Your words were inspirational and made a lot of sense. Thanks for this video and please make more! I totally sub'd.

I think you're a really cool guy. Screw all the haters and keep up the good work. I just now saw this video and you're already one of my favorite youtube people. You seem really down to earth and you speak the truth.

I must have watched this video year's ago when it first came out... I'm now at the point in my life where I actually need this video. I'm currently in the process of trying to grow my RU-vid channel and business restoring JDM car's mostly focused on Supra's and I'm truly shocked how much this resonates with me. I'm so thankful RU-vid decided to put this on my home page today. I also hope I come across this video and my comment here years for now and look back at how far I've come. Both in Business and with my RU-vid channel growth. Thanks so much for making this video Rob.

This is a great video. I was flipping through my feed and saw your video about the bummers of owning a Lamborghini. I realized you're a very down to earth guy. So with that I watched a couple more videos. I've worked in IT for about 20 years now. But my career took a significant turn for the better about 5 years ago. The change was me focusing on improving my skill set, and working my ass off. Doing that allowed me to move up the chain quickly, and establish myself. Along the way I spent about 3 years as a manager of IT operations. That gave me the insight that I needed. I saw so many people just trudging along, wondering why they couldnt get ahead. And the answer was obvious. Because you're trying to improve your life. I'm not rich by any means today. In fact one of my big dreams is to own a Porsche 911. Truth be told, my real dream is a Lamborghini. But the high price and limited ability to drive it has put it in my unrealistic category. On the other hand, the Porsche is still a bad ass car, and can be driven every day. At this point I totally could buy one if I wanted to. But other things have become my priorities. I know for sure though that I'll buy one when the time is right. Everything you said in the video is true. Find what you do well; exploit that, and work your ass off.

Keep making videos on things like this.

"I don't read books" - a typical American.

Just watched this video. Made more since to me that any seminar that I have listened to. These are real gems for free. Thank you.

I don't know you Rob, yet you seem like a humble guy despite all your success. I was recently laid off & I find myself at a crossroads, tired of busting my ass for "the man" all my life & having nothing to show for it. I'm realizing I'm not as content as I thought I was, despite how much money I was making at any point in time. I've wasted a lot of years & although I'm still young, I'm not going to waste anymore time expecting things to happen just because they're "owed" to me. I've been kind of salty as a result & now I'm learning to use that to fuel my motivation. I have a plan set in place & although I'm a bit anxious, I'm really excited to make these changes. As you said, I feel I need to find my "niche". Thanks for the video man, your words might've just been exactly what I needed to hear to push me a bit further. 👍🏼

Thank you so much for making this! Finally a TRUE youtuber, no scams and saying "buy my book, or videos". Just solid, inspiring advice. Have a wonderful day.

What I'm good at- sleeping What I love doing- sleeping What I enjoy at work? Sleep

great video man. make more please! Really got me thinking. thanks

Who would've known that this guy was such a great and honest speaker. No wonder you're so succesful right now, congrats.

Not everyone can immediately know exactly what they would like to do, it mostly just falls into place. You didn't create your own niche, you happened upon it and good for you. People 'trusted' you because you just had knowledge that they didn't, again, you didn't specifically set out to do this, just happened upon it. This isn't to say that it isn't earned, but the formula for success is hard work plus luck (this is multifaceted including location, upbringing, socioeconomic status, knowing people, and the roll of the dice of life, as well as innumerable other factors). Nothing is guaranteed to work out, even if you bust your ass. If it was guaranteed, every hard working person would be 'at the top'. However, each rung up until the top can only be so saturated, and as a result, not everyone is ensured 'success'. It is a guarantee that not everyone can be super monetarily successful. In short, hard work is needed, but it does not guarantee success. The rhetoric in this video is suggests otherwise. Also, never in my experience was anyone in any level of my schooling held back for being 'too good'.

40 facts about $$$ 1-40.. I dont have any

Thank you, I really needed this man. I'm a soon to be dad in june from the time of writing this. I'm 28 and for the past five years plus I have felt lost. I went through something tough (I won't mention here) but I found it hard to scrape myself off the pavement and move forward. To know you aren't much different than me in beginnings really helps me see that there is a light at the end of the tunnel... I just have to want it bad enough, work hard enough, and have fun along the way while I'm at it! I recommend this video to anyone out there facing being 18 or "what now?" phase. You've spoken truth, and I thank you for it.

Even 4 years later... this is always a video I come back to each and every time. Thank you for keeping it completely honest and inspiring. These days everyone tries to use each chance to become a self-help guru in order to allow the audience to become like them. But not you. You can completely tell that you are passionate about what you say. So thank you once again for inspiring us all and sharing the truth! :)

im good at making scrambled eggs

This by far is one of the best motivational videos and best answers to owning something special in life... Well said Rob... =)

Lot of respect for making a straight forward video like that. Made me reflect on my life and want to take action and not get that gaming pc but get good at what I like doing.

Please keep making this videos! Just found you as of today. Subscribed.

I love this so much. I am going to Georgia State University next year to major in film and video. Whenever I tell people that it always seems like the first thing they say is how risky that is. I have plenty of friends that love filmmaking but they're going to college to study different things in college because it's "safer". Which is probably true, and they probably have a better chance at finding a job, but...if it's not the thing that you love to do more than anything, what's the point? I'm better at filmmaking than anything else I know how to do and I love it with every fiber of my being. So, yes, it's risky, but if I want it bad enough I can get it and that's just what I plan to do. I'm basically saying if I could either make $200,000 a year sitting behind a desk every day doing the same damn thing over and over again or get pumped every time I get in my car to go to a film set to make art, but only make $50,000 a year, I'd totally take the second one.

You're so inspirational. I do IT at college and I'm 18, started fixing people's computers for them, so far, so good. I hope I have my dream car by the time I'm 27.

Thanks for the honesty, Rob. Although this video is a few years old, it still has the keys to success and those are timeless. Happy New Year!!

i love how you can relate and are open

Honestly I couldn't give a single shit about money, as long as I am happy that's all I want. I ready little story forgot who it was from but it said this, a boy was in class and the teacher asked him what he wanted to be when he grew up. He said happy. The teacher told him he didn't understand the assignment and he told her she didn't understand life.

Of all videos rob has made to this day, (don't get me wrong i love his cars and fabrication) this video has been my favorite, it is very inspirational and amazing to see how far rob has come to this day. Keep up the good work.

great video. congrats on the car. got to drive one recently,AMAZING.Thinking about getting the doors for my 15 camaro, might not be a hundred g but still feels pretty successful. Thanks again for the video, very motivational

Wow, the power of the internet man. So many great individuals who are willing to open up, share their life experience and give advice. I literally just subscribed to the channel 10 mins ago and you've already impacted me. I can tell you're a genuine person. Thanks for putting this out there.

Nice video man. There is a good message there.

Why tip toe through live to arrive safely to death-Ludacris

I'm watching this 9 years later and his videos still intrigues me as much as his rotary stuff

still to this day i love coming back and watching this seeing how humble you are and how much you inspire me cant wait to slap a 3 rotor on my FD

From what I heard Robert's story was basically on the back of his parents, he showed videos of him driving around supercars from their dealership, he used the ad revenue to make money and publish a book 'on how he did it' increasing his wealth further

do what your good at is the truth, and treat people good they will keep coming back! good job ROB!

Great message. Kinda goes with something that a friend told told me a while back. Thanks.

March 2016 and just saw this video. Great motivation. Its always good to hear someone who is humble and how they become successful. Definitely be subscribing and reflecting from this video in a positive way. Thank you Rob for sharing your story!

I'm not really that good at anything.

"Here I am in my garage...."

Great honest video, I'm so used to people like you telling me a load of clichés and, as you were saying, trying to sell a product. It's nice to here a down to earth not boastful but informative explanation of your success. I'm subscribing now.

I'm 21 and just jumping into a business venture of my own, while studying online, and I have to say this is extremely motivating!

Well, this video has totally inspired me. I'm currently doing computer help for $40/hr. It's not what I necessarily enjoy, but it gets stuff done. I"m trying to do RU-vid (separate account, not self promoting), but I am being just like you in the fact that I go "oh I did that much, so I will now reward myself by ____" I downloaded this video and will try watching it or listening to it every day on my way to class as a reminder of a new attitude I need to adopt. Thank you

What a humble guy

One of the best videos I have seen in a long time , No bull shit or selling us on an Idea just pure honesty and tips . Well done Rob, Well done. Now I need to find something I am impeccable at :p

Excellent video! Found this video by accident and it really hit home. This video alone made me subscribe to the channel and introduced me to a phenomenal car channel that already love!😁👍 Keep up the good work and positive vibes guys!!

I sell sheeps, who wanna buy?

Owning a Diablo must be awesome. I'd be more than happy with a GT-R.

Honestly made more sense then all the other get rich videos out there, cheers for the advice and soon you will see me up on yt working on one of my own cars

This really hit home for me, because I'm 17, and literally taking on the same path. (exchange lawn mowing for burger king though) and before I saw this video even, I was planning on starting a little IT thing out of my house. Thank you so much for the tips!

i'm 10 right now and i have started a club at school to do with HTML programming; this video made me think about my future and i also like supercars. i would love to follow in your steps to get a lambo!

thanks this is the most helpful video on youtube

I know this is old and I know you'll probably never read this but thank you. I really needed this positive realistic push... I've hit an all time low in my life. And it affected my wife and family, and every aspect of my life I've been in financial turmoil and almost cried watching this. Thank you for the push and the honesty.

I still watch this video, I love how down to earth you are (or at least you seem like it) and it's very inspiring to me. Whenever I feel lazy and don't want to go to work I think about my goals now and that's thanks to you. Thank you, Rob.

You're actually wrong about the gaming thing. Pewdiepie, the most subscribed person on youtube, is a gaming channel. He made 12 mil in 6 months.

*Graham Stephan* brought me here

Normally, I do not comment on anything on the web. but the quote your mentioned "You are not owed anything in life" hit me pretty hard. Congratulations on your success.

Rob you inspire me! Your words are so true and humbling. Watching your videos on the rotary engine is made me fall in love with them and I want to start a rotary car project learning and gard work does pay off

Thanks brother. I like your analogy to cheating. What's easy for me? What advantages do I have? Also, I don't have a lambo because of ME... Good perspective. Now I kinda want one. haha I have a plan. Thank you for your encouragement and congratulations on your success.

You are fucking inspiring. keep on doing what you are doing. Pleas!! i love it.

Subbed just from this vid. Thanks for the words of encouragement. I'm just getting an ecommerce business off the ground and need all the encouragement I can get. Timing couldn't have been better.

I don't often comment on videos, but your attitude towards the publice (a.k.a. answering to comments on almost 4 year old videos) and the message in this video made me do so. This hit a lot closer to home than I expected. I was expecting a video about you blobbing about your job and perfect life, but, guess what? You're a lot closer to me than I expected. I work in the IT business since I was ~15 years old. I'm 22 now. I know hard work can pay off (in Brazil, the Lancer is considered a high-end car in price, and I managed to buy one last month, even though it was used, after wanting it since it got teased as the Concept X), but I feel I'm in that "instantenous pleasure" age you just told: I sometimes just slack off playing videogames, lying to myself that that's the best course of action that I should take. I really hope I absorb this video the right way and can be a really hard working, highly rewarded person in 10 years from now, as you just became. I know no economical crisis, or person, or anything can be blamed about my failure on that, but myself. Thanks a lot for this, mate.
