    Okay so I turned 400 into 14k in a month. That's more than 10x return on investment, but if this strategy was indeed viable in the long term, I would be the world's richest man in less than a year.
  • I wasn't financial free until my 40’s and I’m still in my 40’s, bought my third house already, earn on a monthly through passive income, and got 4 out of 5 goals, just hope it encourages someone that it doesn’t matter if you don’t have any of them right now, you can start TODAY regardless your age INVEST and change your future! Investing in the financial market is a grand choice I made.
  • INSPIRING!! Success depends on the actions or steps you take to achieve it. Building wealth involves developing good habits like regularly putting money away in intervals for solid investments. Financial management is a crucial topic that most people tend to shy away from, and ends up haunting them in the near future.., I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life!!
  • Awesome! your potential seems timeless. Good time management, diversifying income flow and chalking out a plan remains the smart way to prepare for the unexpected and the best way to grow and sustain wealth. 4yrs in investing space and extremely pleased with the decision I made. The good news is — it’s not too late.
  • Started my own real estate company in april 2022 and i have been selling more than 3 million worth of real estate in 10 months. Been watching your stuff for years. You helped me a lot and i wanted to say thank you.
  • You don't become financially successful over night. You must put in background work to achieve success, but we tend to see the finished part. Fear is a dangerous component, hindering us from taking bold steps we need in other to reach our goals.
  • Managing money is different from accumulating wealth, and the lack of investment education in schools may explain why people struggle to maintain their financial gains. The examples you provided are relevant, and I personally benefited from the market crisis, as I embrace challenging times while others tend to avoid them. Well, at least my advisor does too, jokingly.
  • Ryan, I want to express my sincere gratitude for your videos. Since I turned 23, I have achieved financial independence, and now at 29, I am the proud owner of a thriving auto dealership in Chicago. My business operates nationwide, offering door-to-door delivery services. I arrived in this country as a war refugee from the Balkans in 1999. Even before obtaining my driver's license, I began buying and selling cars. It took considerable effort and time, but I eventually realized my dream of opening a dealership with just five vehicles. It took me more than a decade to save enough money, as I started from scratch. Presently, I sell approximately 700 cars annually through Haus of Imports in Lemont, IL. Cheers!

  • The trick to being a successful business person is to understand personal finances and investing, because these will most likely lead to greater financial independence. By being knowledgeable about money and investing, individuals can make informed decisions about how to save, spend, and invest their money. I know someone who made over $350k in this recession influenced market, but to the best of my knowledge, it was through a financial advisor.
  • I appreciate how transparent you are in your videos. It's clear that you're passionate about financial freedom and that you genuinely care about helping others. Thank you for being such a positive force in the YouTube community!
  • @BizBob2
    Nice list. Appreciate the video and time to make it. TY
  • I used to be an accountant for a big firm, what i realized was my bosses always went all in on particular stocks and the stocks used to end up paying for their sports cars and vacation homes, obviously they had to invest a lot to get that but i thought to myself "What's stopping me from doing this" So i reached out to one of my bosses and he introduced me to his FA and he helped me invest and taught me a few things about the market, one of the tips were to keep a small "in case the market crashes" fund to try and take advantage of the low prices, he taught me i had be greedy when others were fearful. I'll always be grateful for my old boss and his F.A they really changed my life, I now have a 7 figure portfolio and my old boss and my FA are now one of my closest friends
