Goodnight subscribers thank you so much for joining me today i am jeremy this is the financial education channel and today we’re talking about three youtube channels one is grant cardone one is timothy sykes and one is called value tainment they’re all three i would say social media personas businesses and things like that in there i hear on youtube and i get a
Lot of times in the comments you guys asking me for my opinion on these three individuals and this kind of caps off my series that i also did a few weeks ago i did one about ty lopez gary vaynerchuk and dave ramsey those are three individuals to get a question why i did that video and i got like a ridiculous amount of views and i get questions all the time about
Those guys and so i figured why not do about these guys because you guys asked me about these three all the time so you know what let’s just get right into this so the first one timothy sykes so this one will address first because this one really doesn’t make sense why anyone would ask for my opinion on timothy sykes the reason being is were so far different as
Far as what our armed in our religions are like like as far as he is a day trader that has to do with penny stocks a lot long-term investor in companies that have hundreds of millions if not billions of dollars evaluation like are investing philosophies and what we do with our money they’re so drastically different that i will never understand his way he’ll never
Understand my way like so it makes no sense to ask for my opinion on him just because how am i supposed to know if his thing is great like if he has one of the best investing philosophy ever as far as penny stocks go how am i supposed to know that i’m that’s not my strategy and we’ll get into why i’m not a day trader or penny stock trade or anything like that but
Like that’s not my thing it’s like app it’s like literally like asking an atheist hey what’s your opinion about that catholic priest like is that a good catholic priest up there the 80s give you the hell knows i don’t know i don’t think so like i don’t know you should probably ask another catholic that’s in the catholic church like if that catholic priest is good or
Not like so it makes no sense to ask for my opinion on him now why am i in uh in to day trading penny stock trading and all the things all those kinds of things well because the fact is if you look at the statistics 95 to 99 percent of day traders fail i cannot suggest to anyone to go into that realm of things if 95 worst-case scenario of 95 percent of people are
Failing in the day trading community how could i ever suggest people go into that like i believe that 95 plus percent of people should succeed in whatever they’re doing i’ve seen nothing but my own life with people succeeding in this and i’m sure you know timothy sykes would say you know when everybody succeeded in my program and this and that and that’s great if
They have but i mean i just can’t back something that i in men my own life i’ve seen three people all fail miserably at day trading and trading trying to trade penny stocks and all those kinds of things which in my opinion gambling i know there’s a strategy and all that bla bla bla but i can never suggest someone go do something that that most people fail at not
Just those people the hihihihihi majority of people so i can never go out there and push for that guy so in my opinion i’ll never understand that part of the game and that’s fine if people make money that way then bless their so i’m happy for them however you make money you make money as long as it’s not doing something illegal you know you get my blessing so but
That’s not that’s not my thing so my opinion on timothy sykes is kind of irrelevant just because it’s a way their friend like that that day trading penny stocks and stuff like that so far different than what i do it then it’s not even comparable next one let’s talk about it’s talking about grant pardo so grant cardone someone i didn’t really know about that you
Guys were leaving off the comments so what i did is i went in binge watch a ton of his videos like at least 20 or 30 videos i’ve seen of him if not more than 30 videos now and what i can tell you about grant cardone is one the guy i’m not sure where he’s from but he sounds like he’s a texan like for sure in the south but i think like a texan for sure but he lives
In miami florida he supposedly has like a bunch of different businesses that do like a hundred million dollars in revenue and whatnot and he’s worth a pretty good sum of money for my understanding and so he’s successful now his channel what i’ve seen from the videos i’ve watched on it he’s got a lot of real estate type tips in there so if you’re looking into real
Estate investing i think there’s some good gems in there for real estate investing if you’re looking for sales i like say you have a job where if you’re an entrepreneur like you have to do something sales related right like you have to go out and sell your product or service to customers his channel has a lot of phenomenal tips about sales and sales techniques one
Of them i specifically watch that i loved was he was talking about how many people don’t do follow-up calls so let’s say i you know i have a real estate videography type company that deals with realtors right so i can go and have a meeting with someone and then maybe they don’t call me so what do i do do i go and call them at that point he talks about how most
People never even reach out and you know call that person say hey you know how do you think our meeting with the other day you know you got any questions like and most people don’t even do that first call and then like the hi-hi-hi majority people never do a second call so there’s no follow-up and you know he’s talked about how so much business is made in those
Follow-up calls with those customers who aren’t sold initially but you can sell them once you call them a second or third time that once you’ve met with them in their kind of hem and haw and they still don’t really know but if you do good follow-up if you’re good salesmen you can get them to do that and i saw that in my business in the early days especially and i
Don’t really do follow-up now and that’s a big fault of mine like i should be doing follow-up i absolutely should but now like if i agree you know somebody reached out to me i send them you know examples of my products and things like that like a lot of times i don’t follow up in the end and that’s a big that’s a big mistake of mine because i’m missing a lot of
Business because in the early days when i was desperate i will do follow-up and i would get customers on that second call that third call kind of pushing them you know hey you know i hadn’t heard from you a few days we talked about maybe doing this project what are you thinking you know and reach out to them again when i was desperate i would do that and now that
I’m not desperate i’m making good money from all my different businesses i become where i’m never doing follow-up anymore and i’m missing out a lot of money and so that’s a great thing about his channel sales techniques and some of those kinds of things also he has some good motivational videos he has one video i really like that i watch that he was talking about
Do you need junk like the amount of people that spend money on junk you know things that are just wants for the for the minute and then once you get it you kind of don’t even care about it anymore he talks about you know not spending ridiculous amounts of money until you have ridiculous amounts of money where if you want to buy a $50,000 car and you’ve got a five
Million dollar net worth you can do that but if you’ve got $100,000 in the bank and you’re buying a $50,000 car like there goes half your net worth right out the window like that’s a stupid purchase so some of those and one other video i’ll talk about is one i really liked that he did was he was on he was going on a private jet which i don’t know if he owns that
Private jet or just taking a private jet it’s really irrelevant but he was on this like private jet par makani was talking about how you should focus on you know big goals but don’t focus so much on what other people have and he was like getting on his small private jet right he’s like look at that private jet over there so big and look at this one over there you
Know that’s three times the size and this net so don’t play that game of just paying attention or whatever people have because otherwise you’ll never feel good about what you have and i am a hundred percent with them on that like you got to feel good about yourself like because there’s always going to be someone better there’s always going to be someone richer
There’s always going to be someone above you and you can strive to be the best but at the same time enjoy the fact of you’re making progress may like enjoy that fact because otherwise you’ll never enjoy your life like you’ll just be miserable all the time guys and there’s no point especially if you had great successes no point in being miserable be proud of what
You have accomplished and what you’re doing where you’re going and those kinds of things guys so his channels phenomenal for real estate at least from what i’ve seen of course i’m not a real estate investor so i have no clue and his tips are the great tips are not great tips but he talks a lot about real estate talked a lot about sales techniques which i agree
With a lot of them and he does some motivational just type of rant type videos which i love a lot of those guys so i i will give his channel definitely a good grade then value tainment is one last channel here on youtube this channel is run by a guy named patrick and i would say his channel does two really good things that i like at least from his channel and
I’ve watched his channel like before i even like looked into this for a video like i’ve seen tons of his videos over time like before i was even a youtuber i’ve seen i’ve come across quite a few of his videos i love his entrepreneur type videos he is a lot of business building type videos that are really good like seven steps on how to build a business better
Today and things like that like you know kind of step related videos which i kind of do you know on this channel a lot you know steps one through ten like do this and do that into this he has a lot of those good that are very practical videos that can help you if you’re you’re starting a business so a lot of good business tip videos for entrepreneurs but also
Some sales techniques which is kind of like grant cardone he gets into a lot of sales techniques so that’s really good but the last point is he’s got some of the best motivational videos i’ve seen on youtube in my opinion like some of the best you’ve got one specifically that basically this video is i think it’s got well over a million views now so it’s not just
Me that loves this video it’s like a two or three-minute video and it’s him getting in a ferrari and the moral of the video and the cinematography is really good in the storyline the plotline behind this video is really friggin good and the more of the story is like people only see the ferrari once you get the ferrari right they don’t understand how much work it
Took you to get there they don’t understand the getting the door slammed in your face day after day they don’t understand the the you have to face rejection over and over again they don’t understand the sleepless nights of an entrepreneur when you’re first starting i mean i know i know from experience the first six to twelve months is really hard on you mentally
Because you’re just wondering am i going to make it is this is this even worth it i’m putting in all this work and it just doesn’t seem like i’m getting anywhere i know that feeling i had been there it was until i was over a year that all some things started to come to me and it was like this is starting to really work and starting to get really confident behind it
But it took me that put that place and not a lot of people like understand entrepreneurs and understand the grind and understand how hard it is to mentally see the bills coming in and seeing there not being enough money and being like where am i going to make up like it’s got a pull money on savings again this month i guess my savings just went down again i guess
Um you know i failed again getting that customer and i failed again in this situation so not a lot of people understand the the hard work it takes behind it not a lot of people understand the mental fortitude it takes they just see you when you finally get that success they just see the the ferrari and they think wow that person is so lucky you know look at them
They’re doing so well in life and they don’t understand that it’s luck yeah this place definitely a part but you know what you’ve got a grandeur to work your ass off and it takes a lot of mental energy and physical energy from you to get to a place where you’re good i mean i have a bad cold right now and i could have said you know what we won’t release the video
Today but then i’m like that like this soldier is fighting wars that got shot in the arm and they still fight like eat tonight do a video call with a cold i’m pretty sure i can like that’s no frickin excuse like give me a break so that’s that’s what i’m talking about being an entrepreneur and being being out there and working your ass off and doing what you need
