#entrepreneurship #onepersonbusiness #creatoreconomy - Zábava
My calling in life is to help 100 million founders accomplish their dreams through proven systems.
I believe founders deserve freedom - time freedom, location freedom, and financial freedom.
We're building a movement and community of founders with an insatiable drive to be the best and win together - and we're just getting started.
Hello brother help me with 30000$
What is a founder… is that another term for entrepreneur?

You are so welcome!
Incredible Story! I relate to this a ton as I feel the end of 2023 was my rock bottom point. I love your content and your energy Matt, and I've followed you for years. Herb reached out to the Dispensary I work for to work together, and I really hope that collaboration happens because I'd love to work with your team.
Wonderful! Thanks for the love
Thanks for sharing your story Matt. It's given me a little boost and a reminder in our capability to change. Amazing resilience to deal with the impending lawsuit too. I'd love to hear your take on failure. I founded a business two years ago which flopped and took a big toll on my mental health. How do you bounce back up again? Thanks! Amy
To bounce back find your new rhythm and passions and follow them. Don’t feel like you need to do it the same way you did it last time. Your comeback time is here.
Amazing story! Congrats! True inspiration 🎉👏🏆
Thanks for all your help and support Amor. You're the best thing that's ever happened to me.
This content is really amazing, thank you for sharing Matt 🙏🏻
Glad you enjoyed it!
Keep your spark Matt. Incredible
That’s kind of you. Thanks.
Matt, what an inspiring video! Your journey really resonated with me. It takes a lot of passion, vision and courage to pursue big dreams like you have. Although my path hasn't been the same as you, I really relate to your willingness to take risks and bet on yourself. This video should definitely motivates any viewer to think bigger and keep working hard each day.
I appreciate that! My mission is to inspire 100 million founders to accomplish their dreams through proven systems. Thanks for being a part of this movement.
Fantastic and inspiring video, Matt! Slow is smooth and smooth is fast. ❤️🙏
That’s the motto
wow, i am so glad CZcams recommended this to me. eye opening and inspiring. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for sharing your story. As someone who has just quit my job to work on my own, your journey is inspiring. I have been watching your videos and I love your emails on having a system, business tips and other really helpful tips that really resonates with what I'm doing. It gives me ideas on what to work on my business. I am really interested to join your courses but have not been able to attend yet due to other priorities, but I know the day will come.
You can do it!
Best video so far. Matt, you are an inspiration.
Glad you think so!
Super inspiring! Thank you for sharing your empowering journey. 🙏🏻
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for sharing your story! ✨
Thanks for watching!
My name is Gabrielle "Gabby" Sales. I just turned 17 yesterday and Im planning on starting my business before I graduate Highschool this year. Ive spent money on a few of your courses and now im ready to take serious actions. I want to build something so meaningful and youre such a great vessel for me to utilize. Thank you for sharing your story and being so passionate. Im working on creating my very first website now!
Wow love to hear this. Congrats on your momentum. IMPRESSIVE. I like Webflow or Kajabi for websites. Keep going!
DAMN!!!
I'm in the same situation, and guess what:
my name is Gabriel Sales
Is this a sign???
Wow what a story!! Really transparent and in depth, thanks!!
Thanks for watching
Thanks for putting this out. Just had a rough day as an entrepreneur losing 20K and have to say this really cheered me.
Appreciate you making the time out this content out and hopefully I can be good at business like yourself using what you’re laying out.
Thanks Matt.
Sincerely,
Cal Singh
You got this! I believe in you. We all go through tough times. What matters is how we respond. Keep going!
This is a brillian video, Matt. Really loved it and thanks for sharing it.
Thanks so much!!
Loved this video! Thanks ❣
You are so welcome!
amazing video, looking forward for more!
More to come!
Great story, It's funny how we really need ALL the parts to be happy. You can have wealth but if you aren't taking care of your body or vice versa it hurts your happiness. I love the concept., slow is smooth. I def need to find a job I don't hate. It's the only piece missing for me now! :)
This is an amazing story, Matt! I so deeply relate to the pains you described. It’s so inspiring to see where you were and what you’ve done.
Keep going brother! You’re doing amazing🥇🔥🔥🔥
Thanks Jordan - your support over the year has meant a lot to me. Grateful for you and excited to continue to build this MOVEMENT.
Much love!❤
Fantastic video ❤
You are so kind - thanks Ali. Great hanging out last week. Looking forward to our next meetup.
Seriously… this video was incredibly well made 👏
I love your videos❤
Thank you for your great insights
You're welcome. Hope you have a lovely day! Let's win together 🥇
Fantastic video Matt, thank you for inspiring me to keep going.
My pleasure!
Amazing video. Thank you brother!!!
Glad you liked it!
You just gained a new subsriber with this video. Thank you for this!
Welcome aboard!
Matt, thank you for soo much for sharing and new subscriber (youtube and linkedin). Im 43 years old and have built a successful career making over $200K a year, but Im burnt out from the rat race and tired of renting out my time to major corporations. I still have intense drive to achieve time and financial freedom and have been diligently searching for my next opportunity in this season of life. Also, Investing in your own body is crazy important as it helps feed the drive and mindset needed to be successful and for myself I would put this #1! thanks again
Hey Gabriel - I totally get it. You should join the community inside Founder OS and build your own biz to get to an extra $20k per month and control your own destiny (and achieve time and financial freedom).
Man, that hit, I'm 17 & I'm exactly in the loop you mentioned that you have gone through, hustle culture is insane, I keep asking myself does building a business really have to be this extremely stressful and draining ?, I found out people like you and many others have fulfilling business's, mostly community based, were you're a leader of a movement you're passionate about, I really wanna do this, where can I start to escape the cycle I'm in ?

Great video Matt! Can't want to get my journey underway.
You can do it!
Killer story man thanks for sharing 🙌 def gonna check out the Ikigai recommendation
It’s a game changer
Thx 4 sharing this brother. Raising the bar for all Canadians.
Gotta rep Canada
Truly inspiring, thanks
Thanks for listening
“Slow is smooth, smooth is fast” 13:10 resonates with our Framework of Intention
• Slow Down
• Give Gratitude
• Take Responsibility
🙏
I lost over $80k when everything started to tank. Not because I was in an exchange that went belly up. I was just stupid to hold and because that's what everyone said. I'm still responsible. It just taught me to be a better investor now that I understand more of what could go wrong. It took me over two years of being in the market, I'm really grateful I found one source to recover my money, at least $10k profits weekly. Thanks Charlotte Miller

Great story 🚀
Thanks for the love brother. Appreciate your support over the years. Wouldn't have been possible without you!
Inspirational video, but I'm having a hard time finding actionable steps or being relatable.
Keep watching
Brilliant video Matt - I’d love to have you on my Podcast ❤
Let's do it!
I cried seeing this .
Thank you for making the video.
I was stuck reading books and Mathematics.
I will take the call, I will build something out of my Life.
Thank You 🙏
Can’t wait to see what you create!
Thank YOU, You Mother would be so Proud of YOU.
Please tell her an India Kid is blessed to have found YOU.
Thank You@@realmattgray
Your Principle.
Less Talk More Result.
I will give a call at your Website soon.
Thanks@@realmattgray
Ending was 🔥
Glad you enjoyed it
Holy cow. This is phenomenal.
Thanks that means a lot. I’ll relay to the team ☺️
The only thing that keeps me from starting the founders course is - I can't stay anonymous anymore. If there was a real action plan / course, where I don't need to use social or any media - I'll pay whatever to get access to.
Holy crap…. this video was a masterpiece. Like you’ve been a professional CZcamsr for years. What the heck. Level up much?
I relayed this to my team. It made their day! Thanks for the kind works and support. Let’s get it.
Thank you for sharing Matt. I'm 39 years old , a branch manager in a stock brokerage company. Now I feel burn out and really tired, because working under pressured like a slave from 9-5 even more, high demand from head office. I am trying to figure out what kind of other side hustle that can make me get financial freedom, time freedom to do what i love and get better rest include sleep well that eventually will impact to my health. I want to switch my current job with something that I need to work only 2-4 hours everyday. I also agree that invest to health is really important, because if I'm unhealthy nobody will care, even the company will just only replace you with others, so sad.
Start with health and the rest gradually falls into place
Truly inspiring! I've made the decision to embark on a side hustle this year. My goal is to create a side hustle that "POSSIBLY" not only provides me with the freedom of time and location but also enables financial independence. The desire to spend more quality time with my kids and family is a driving force behind this endeavor. Watching this has ignited a passion within me to establish an automated empire. I firmly believe that automation is one key to achieving my aspirations.
Automation is key to removing yourself from operations and achieving your dreams as a founder. True freedom.
i went through the grind 5 times without a successful business for various reasons, also a few outside of my control. It's mentally draining and taxing to the point I have no idea what works and where to go.
I guess the video message is, you need to start with yourself again what works for you and what makes you motivated
You are your greatest asset
What’s exciting is how many tools there are to help anyone start and run a business. 🤩
It’s a wonderful time to be alive
You are inspiring brother! Keep it up.
I’m a recruiter by profession but an entrepreneur by heart. I love starting businesses but I have a problem growing them. I would love to get mentored by you or be a part of your team and share my knowledge and expertise. I have skills in sales and marketing.
Awesome stay tuned we have some job openings coming soon...
Thanks Brother 🙏

Awesome - let’s get after it daily - good things come from positive efforts
Thanks Matt

love the video! Nothing wrong with a full-time job, but if you want more, set time aside to learn additional skills or trying new things.
Absolutely! Level up your skills and unlock new doors.
Here before this vodeo blows up! 🎉
You’re too kind!
Boom, inspiring as always! Thanks for being vulnerable, Matt!
Want to be as open and transparent as possible so founders can learn from my wins and mistakes
Man, this is so inspiring. I am a nobody right now, and my goal is to start making money online. I think I am gonna create a skool community, to me it sounds like a very accessible gateway to entrepreneurship. Now I just need to make a plan on how exactly I will execute it. I just want to be free. That's it.
Building a Skool community around your passion is a great path. And start building an audience and newsletter. Pick 2 platforms and set up a newsletter in ConvertKit.
@@realmattgray thanks man
This is beautiful... Congratulations Matt
Thanks for the sub!
AWESOME STORY! U wonder how I might joub or contribute to such a team! I can belueve un workung for someone luke Matt!
That would be cool!
the last words are epic! That's the dream lifestyle to work towards
Let’s get it
So much information, I will have to study this Daily.
As Jim Rohn said, study the process and replicate as you don’t have time to learn everything in this Lifetime.
I thank Matt again, I will come Tomorrow
Awesome - get a pen and paper and follow these principles and you’ll win
I am here again, everytime I will see the Video, I will develop a new Perdspective.
You are my Tony Robbins now.
Thank You@@realmattgray
Great video 📹
Thanks for the visit
Such a good video
Thanks Tim let's continue to win together!
Last minute was just straight FIRE. This is probably my 2nd or 3rd youtube commment in 10 years but this is not only my gratitude for this video.. but a timestamp for the moment I decided to take action on my own calling #Ikigai
Awesome ikigai is life changing
Thanks for the video! Super motivational. One question I have, what do you suggest to people who want to follow a similar life journey, but are struggling with the creativity to create a business idea? Personally, I'm ready to change my life's direction, but I feel like the road stops at the question "what do I do?"
Good question! I think you need to surround yourself with other builders and find a mentor. A community can help you with all the small blockages that come up when you’re building. And a mentor can help you avoid mistakes and give you systems and lessons that have helped them become successful. Hopefully the community and mentorship from this channel can help you a bit on your journey!
@@realmattgray Thanks Matt. Lots of content creators and gurus throw tons of advice out on the internet, but very few engage in meaningful ways. Thanks for taking the time to respond!
Great story. Great hair.
Thank you! 🤗
Ever heard of Metabolic Engineering, including High Dose, High Grade fish oil (for resolution of Inflammation and AMPk generation to repair tissue?
Never heard of it
Dang, that was so cool! For a year I've been trying to build my own coaching business and I've not succeeded yet. Now I have 2 fellow mentors on my side again, who also live their dream lives with their coaching businesses, partly automated. I love what I'm doing already and I'm so excited for my future, as this is exactly what I want: Reasonably working hours, new life with new possibilities through my income and all the new relationships that I want!! :D
Thanks for tuning in - stay tuned Sunday for another one
I love this video.
Let’s win together🏅
Epic!!!
🙏
Nice bro 🎉
Thanks 🔥
10k passive income is enough to live like a millionaire everything else is personal development and internal improvement more money won't change anything .this is my goals in life
