Love this kind of content from you man. After watching it's nice to see Ive already been applying most of these steps for years, biggest one was changing careers.
Great video , to be successful is all about your mindset and having personal goals and working towards them. You always need to have or setup multiple sources of income no matter how small. Take risks as you mentioned ...a great saying is if you aren't willing to take risks , you will always be employed by someone who does. Ideally for me , being self employed is always the ultimate goal, all your time and effort is for your own growth and when you are self employed, there isn't such a thing as 8 hours. you work 24/7. Work hard , play hard.
Some realy good,salient points,especially the first one about being flexible and accepting any task.Lost count on how many people take longer to explain why they wont carry out a task than the task would actually take to do.Add motivational speaking as another string to your bow.Nice one.
Best video you've ever done! I love the "Just show up ". I've been at my place of work for 26 years and I can't tell you how many people we let go because them showing up late or not at all.
Creeped into the 6 figure salary with software engineering these past few years and fortunately/unfortunately/fortunately I built a large statue collection as well that I need to capture for CZcamss to enjoy and share the love (with a different channel). Selling some off now, that's the hardest part though it's fun to cycle the capital towards another piece, worthy sacrifice. I'm glad only about a dozen of my pieces are "keepers when I'm out of the game."
Currently unemployed(by choice), so my collecting is on hold. I feel your pain. But, since I was a manager for one of the most unethical companies in existence, I am much happier and have my sanity back. I know I will find something soon.
Thanks Mr X, hopefully your list will help some folks push past their challenges. sadly the majority of folks aren’t willing to put forth the effort necessary to achieve success (as they define it). Haha, my lic plate on one of my cars is “NVR L8”. I think I got ya beat, I can only think of 3 times I was late… mostly natural disaster type situations. I think you left a few things out, (I know your list) but still, add this…learn from others. If you are at level “x” seek out those at the next level up and try and learn from then. Ask questions, be a sponge…. Once you level up, find someone at the next level up and repeat… And this; stay away from negative people. Surround yourself with motivated, positive people. Once you start to achieve, it’s amazing how many people will want to pull you back down. They don’t like being left behind. Distance yourself from them in a hurry. Ok hopefully that wasn’t too much…
Fantastic advice. This is exactly what I tell my employees. But like you said, some just do enough to get through the work day and some do less. The ones that do less don’t last long, and many times, just enough is not enough. Worked my ass off to get where I’m at.
In my field I hear this same stuff every other week in our meetings. But I’m one of those who only does what the company expects of me. But for the record I’ve never asked or wondered what you do. 🤙🏼🍺
I’ve never met anyone that can keep up with me! Mr. ask I think you might give me a run for my money on a bad day! Lol there’s some great advice there. I think I have hit every box but for sure Patience is something people do not have. They want instant gratification, or they try for a couple of years and then give up. so much. Good advice! My favorite line is if you work your ass off and you’re not a moron….. so true!! You’re awesome!
Sorry I'm late guys, what I miss?...😅 All kidding aside, great video. Gave me Tony Robbins vibes. It's good to hear these kinds of things from time to time.
I love this video, Mr X. These are great pieces of advice, especially for young men and women that are just starting their careers post college or trade school. One additional piece I would add that has definitely helped me be successful in my career is to ALWAYS be professional. Always be respectful and NEVER take 'the bait' of someone else's provoking/prodding for a reaction or a unprofessional response. Sometimes in meetings about difficult decisions at work disagreements can happen, or in emails, but always remain respectful and professional. This doesn't mean you roll over and agree to everything, speak your mind and give your opinion as you may have a great idea that helps the company, but do so in a calm and professional way. My two cents! Appreciate the video! Cheers.
Its like your on a staircase, average you stay in one spot, dont want to learn anything new you start go done the stairs, and want to learn and advance in the work field you start to climb. I love to do things and get moved to something I really dont know and learn that, so I can be an alternating in multiple spots at work.
Love and agree with everything you said in the video but I think what people are asking are the personal specifics of what you do like: what company do you work for, how much you make a month or year, what kind of company you’re in, job title, how long it took to get there, things like that.
Hey man...it never fails. Every time I check out your videos I thoroughly enjoy them. Really appreciate you stepping out of the box and providing real life inspiration. Thanks for keeping it real.
Truer words have never been spoken. As you stated, many will follow this formula and stop before they realize their potential because of a few set backs. But success is often built on a foundation of failures. You just have to remain disciplined and determined. It will happen if you hold the course.
Thank you Mr X for this video. It’s inspired me to do better in life. I’m not a complete loser, I work, I pay my bills, I do what I have to to get by but I know I can do better. I keep myself stuck in a rut, but now I’m going to do something about it.
I follow some of this. I put in a LOT of time and effort but I'm not often early. I don't really take risks. I'd say it would vary from job to job but there would be many times where employees could be taken for granted without personal benefit. I still think it's a great attitude.
Very inspiring video!! While I already do most from your list I am going to work on all of them to try to better myself. I'm also going to share this with my son's to try to set them on the right path. Thank you for all the great videos both collectables and life lessons
awesome video sir..! I am out of medical school doing residency I got student loans but I hope to pay them off in my lifetime lol.. I have splurged on my JND pieces but hopefully have a collection like yours one day!
I would like to add, that there is always work to be done and ways to earn more money. All you need is some desire. I know lots of people who do next to nothing at work get minimum and are ok with it. Some people say I am ready but I don't know what to do, I always answer if you don't know then go and ask.
There are studies out there that the general population sees a business man in T-shirt or polo and jeans as more successful than the one in a suit now. The perception of people like Zuckerberg making millions and not having to wear a suit while the lower level managers do have to wear a suit has caused a shift in general perception. And prior to that, the suit was a shift away from men in jeans working their farm. The jeans and shirt was representative of someone who owned their own land and essentially had control of his own destiny and was seen as successful. That then shifted to the suit as office managers started making the big bucks (and Wall Street workers making insane money). Now perception is shifting again.
Just be you because I have no regrets over what I’ve wasted my money on. I’ve spent loads on my family and we’ve had a great life. I’ve managed to buy tons of great things, I’m not as financially well off as you but that is because I chose to work in a certain low paid industry and because I loved giving to my loved ones. Life is all about attitude and choices, be reliable, be helpful and stop trying to blame others, only you can choose whether you want to be successful or not.
@TheXtremeChannelMrX I know, I was just kidding because I know someone was gonna ask. You know, like the people who don't follow the rules when you sell your statues even though you explain it every time. Lol
Ok, that all makes no sense if you are in a Family Business. I did all those things for my father for over 20 years. Then he secretly sold the business, took all money, move to a different state, bought a mansion on a lake and I never saw him again. The Lake was called Lake Norman. It's the Lake where all the Nascar Drivers live. Drivers like Dale Junior. Buy the way, he died of a heart attack at 59 and left his fortune to ASPA (dogs). Was About 6 million.
One of his 10 was take risks. Sounded like you needed to take the risk of changing careers or companies, it might have done you better. Sucks about what happened though. A comparison: There Will Be Blood, the oil baron's son decided to start his own business in Mexico despite his father's wrath and scorn. Wonder how that ended up in that fictional world.
Excellent video! I have been employing many if not all of these points for most of my career, and they are all effective. It does take time, but the earlier in your career you starting following these ideas, the sooner they pay off! From McDonald's to IBM, hard work is rewarded. Well done, Mr. X. Even though it's none of my business, I'd still like to at least know in what industry you work! 😀
I don’t think you told us what you do for a living, unless I missed it. I’m a trash truck driver. I’m not a rich man but I am happy and I do like to see videos of people and the many different cool stuff they collect. When I watch these videos I like to imagine myself having all these cool things but then the videos ends and I go back to my humble little life. Not in a sad way. You have yours and I have mine. Im never jealous of the man that has more than me. Good for them. I like driving my truck. lol. I’m just curious to know what you do, not to ask for an application but just to add to my daydreaming, while I watch your videos, of myself working for company xyz and being able to have a collection like that.
@@TheXtremeChannelMrX As the other guy observed: You didn‘t tell us what you do for a living even though you announced you would. We know how this kind of behavior is called, and we also know money can be made by it.
@@jamesnapier3802 These 10 things are what I do for a living. It’s no ones business the name of my companies. It doesn’t affect their life at all. There would be nothing but downside to share that information as my collecting world is separate from my business world.
@jamesnapier3802 As soon as his named his first step I jumped in the comments to see my theory and guess I was right. I don't care about the job he specifically has but the field would've been nice.
@@goat2727ch I have two companies that are totally different fields. I’ve always worked in different fields with the companies I’ve owned or ran. It’s not about the field.
Whenever people ask "what do you do to afford all of this?" My standard reply is: "I do the things that you don't" 😂😂😂 I'm more interested in what's on preorder than what you do for a living, unless you do something sexy, like moonlighting as 007 in Octopussy 😂🎉
Well said and I appreciate this video. Not only does it encourage me to strive to do better but also the comments of this vid provide really good insight/feedback too - wouldn't of happened without posting this vid. Kudos to u Mr. X and thanks for your example as well👍🏻
Pearls of wisdom! My personal goal is to be better than I was yesterday, everyday. My favorite quote is - we are what we repeatedly do; therefore, excellence is not an act but a habit.
Great video. I became a Chief Financial Officer at age 35 and always get questioned at how I became so successful at such an early age. Everything you laid out here is absolute truth. I always tell people talent is and always will be secondary to determination and passion.
Great stuff, I'm going to add that finding your "why" is the starting point for any journey of success. If your goals aren't in alignment with who you are as a person you won't be successful. Success isn't about money either, although it can be. If teaching is your passion you will never be rich but you can still have goals, like helping 1000 kids graduate college, or whatever it is.
After putting in the work for 7 years and getting absolutely nothing for it other than to see the executives get fat bonuses, people give up. Corporations and CEOs caused this more than the workers. Look at wage graphs from the 50s to 80s and you'll see a reasonably steady trend with CEOs and workers curving up at a steady path. In the 90s, CEO pay took off like a rocket while employee pay stagnated, no longer climbing in line with company profits. At the same time, they got more efficient and accomplished more than ever, but were never were rewarded. I understand why so many feel hopeless that no matter how much work they put in, it will never get them anywhere. They've seen it in action for 2 decades now. There are too many soulless corporations who see employees as tools to burn through until they break, discard, and replace rather than entrepreneurial companies led by CEOs who know how to actually lead a team.
I'm my own worst enemy when it comes to motivation. I blame so many things on my life choices but Im working on owning that and being better than I was the previous day. I just need to know what to get started with in order to break the paycheck to paycheck I'm currently living in
This probably your best video that I seen. I have been collecting for a few years I get one statue a year for my birthday. I Always have someone ask why do I spend so much on them. My answer is look I love them and they make me happy. Ihave a feeling of accomplishment when I can purchase one. If you did something that made you just as happy you wouldn't be asking that question. TIME TO MAKE IT LOUD😅
Lol silly questions its all about the grind just taking chances and hoping for the best, i just started my youtube channel toyhunting for fun if it grows thats great,if it doesnt its still for my hobby regardless keep it up my guy i feel you...
Agree for the most part with what you are talking about. Although I think success isn't necessarily a monetary thing. I went into a career in inner city ministry knowing that it would mean that I wouldn't make a lot of money. Success in what I do is measured in the changes I see in young people's lives. I think the same is true for anyone who goes into service industries like teaching, law enforcement, military, or social work.
Good advice, hope I'm a able to utilize this someday in a career field if I can make it to that point lol, Btw Mr X, do you have a college degree in business or have you just worked for companys always? if that isn't too personal to ask. kinda been binging videos really enjoying the channel, best so far next to gem mint. Glad I found both channels.
@TheXtremeChannelMrX oh😮 that's amazing. I've been a bit astray, but I hope to find the same success, I know it's a road with many hardships. Will work hards towards it. Really admire that!
The worst one for me is “must be nice”. This automatically tells me about a person and who they are. These type of people likely offer nothing to society and or personal relationships with people because they are just victims all the time. I could only tell you maybe 1-2 people who out work me and I easily deal with thousands of people. Sadly majority of people are “must be nice” people…
Hey bud nice vid. I have been looking for a Wolf Predator Heavy Weaponry by Hit Toys. I am not looking for a hand out at all. I would gladly pay for it if you have one to unload. eBay is ridiculous on their prices. I am well off but still can’t justify spending $699 for that especially when it’s from China and probably a bootleg as is. Thanks. Keep up the great work and please let me know sir. Thanks again.
Great video. I remember i was outta work so was going to the job centre to sign on for benefits and my dad told me dress smart in a shirt and tie. Because i did that i stood out from the other people and was offered a job at the place itself instead. Lol
Great list Mr. X! A lot of the things on this list you would think is common sense, but I work a civil service job and lots of the people I work with unfortunately don’t carry those values. Instead they find loopholes in the system to find ways they can get paid while doing the least amount possible. I guess that’s the bad part of working a Union job because the Union protects these types of workers. 🤦🏽♂️
I love your comment "Dont make excuses" indeed. I always say "Im explaining why, not giving an excuse, it's still on me this happened" Also, I dont think you NEED to do all this stuff, to live a happy life. Buying things makes some people, happy, but plenty of people are happy with what they have. Both are fine.
Great video. I echo essentially the same tenets for success to all my employees. There’s just no substitute for working your ass off and not complaining.
Great video there is a lot in it that people need to hear I personally have been striving to do just these things over the past 13 years I have been with the company I work for. As a father of six children in a married man I need to do the best I can for my family generally I work 10 to 11 hours a day while working on getting my associate's degree in business. A work-life balance it's definitely something to strive for as at the end of the day your family is always number one at the same note you always need to provide
#11 -- Don't waste money on becoming members of CZcams channels.😉 Seriously, though, I would add one that has recently become an issue, and that is don't work from home. If you want to move up in an organization, you have got to put in the facetime at work. You have got to make those interpersonal connections that simply cannot be made sitting at home on a Zoom call.
Whatever you do, take pride in it. Even if someone is better than you, still be great. If you say you're going do something, DO IT! If you find out you can't, you should be the one to report "hey I'm not going to be able to do it, but this is what I will or can do. That's how I roll.
Nice vid but tell us about ur pharmacology career, if u were born in the 1900, you would've crushed during prohibition 🚫, Good luck with phase 4 silver surfer only seen one , hyped 2 see yours when it's done
I don't know... it's very work-related. And that can be very different depending on which country you live in. You can work your ass off and still get nothing out of it. What about investing?
Great video, I work 60 hours a week, I have worked for what a have and where I am, people can't be arsed sometimes to push forward, have a good week Mr X 👍
In Europe, people are used to go for holiday for 2-3 weeks straight and Im talking complete cut-off so we tend to look down at this US approach of not being able to put your work completely behind for some time. 25 days of paid holiday per year is a norm here. Try to change this, the people would riot.
To be fair, Europe's approach actually makes more sense and for good reason. It's utterly asinine to have your company, a division, a department, or even just a team so reliant on one person being always accessible that everything breaks down without them. What happens if that person doesn't take a day off, but gets T-boned by a semi-truck and is instantly killed on the way to work? That complete cut-off forces the employee to take a break (which increases productivity and profitability for the company, btw) as well as forces the company & teams to learn to be able to handle things in their absence. There are also studies that prove the human brain simply burns out. Working 100 hours is actually less productive than 80, which is less productive than 60, which is less productive than 40 and even 40 may be less productive than 32. Working longer is not necessarily working more efficient.
"Your 5 to 9 is more important than your 9 to 5" -Jim Rohn This video needed to be made! So if Mr. X works 100 hours a week as a traveling doctor to afford his statues, are you going to do the same? More than likely not, so someone's career doesn't matter. Whatever you make, save up the money to buy whatever you want. If you don't make enough money, better yourself with the 10 rules in this video so you obtain all the things you want!
Love this kind of content from you man. After watching it's nice to see Ive already been applying most of these steps for years, biggest one was changing careers.
Great video , to be successful is all about your mindset and having personal goals and working towards them. You always need to have or setup multiple sources of income no matter how small. Take risks as you mentioned ...a great saying is if you aren't willing to take risks , you will always be employed by someone who does. Ideally for me , being self employed is always the ultimate goal, all your time and effort is for your own growth and when you are self employed, there isn't such a thing as 8 hours. you work 24/7.

The most basic requirement and people struggle with that
Creeped into the 6 figure salary with software engineering these past few years and fortunately/unfortunately/fortunately I built a large statue collection as well that I need to capture for CZcamss to enjoy and share the love (with a different channel). Selling some off now, that's the hardest part though it's fun to cycle the capital towards another piece, worthy sacrifice. I'm glad only about a dozen of my pieces are "keepers when I'm out of the game."

@jamesnapier3802 As soon as his named his first step I jumped in the comments to see my theory and guess I was right. I don't care about the job he specifically has but the field would've been nice.
@@goat2727ch I have two companies that are totally different fields. I’ve always worked in different fields with the companies I’ve owned or ran. It’s not about the field.
Yeah iam poor AF but all my bills get paid and I still collect😊. Great 10 reasons too
Great advise. Thank you
Whenever people ask "what do you do to afford all of this?" My standard reply is: "I do the things that you don't" 😂😂😂
I'm more interested in what's on preorder than what you do for a living, unless you do something sexy, like moonlighting as 007 in Octopussy 😂🎉
I would love to be a spy.
"That is not my job" So many people where I work say that all the time and it pisses me off.
Well said and I appreciate this video. Not only does it encourage me to strive to do better but also the comments of this vid provide really good insight/feedback too - wouldn't of happened without posting this vid. Kudos to u Mr. X and thanks for your example as well👍🏻
Pearls of wisdom! My personal goal is to be better than I was yesterday, everyday. My favorite quote is - we are what we repeatedly do; therefore, excellence is not an act but a habit.
Great one
Great video. I became a Chief Financial Officer at age 35 and always get questioned at how I became so successful at such an early age. Everything you laid out here is absolute truth. I always tell people talent is and always will be secondary to determination and passion.
This was super motivating as someone who has been disappointed with my income, the comment about there being no ceiling financially is great
People who have a low bar… will always hit it.
Loyality goes both ways and today's corporations don't give jack-sht about their employees.
Depends on your corporation. But you can still give one you're all, and trade up when it's time
Prob could've used this advice a few decades ago and should've listened to my mother when she said be a doctor.
Good advice Mr.X. Currently on the phase that i don't know what to do. I will keep in mind this advices.
GREAT STORY. GREAT WORK ETHIC, AND GREAT ADVICE. YOU ARE A VERY GOOD PERSON. MUCH SUCCESS X.👊🏽🍺🥃
Great stuff, I'm going to add that finding your "why" is the starting point for any journey of success. If your goals aren't in alignment with who you are as a person you won't be successful.
Success isn't about money either, although it can be. If teaching is your passion you will never be rich but you can still have goals, like helping 1000 kids graduate college, or whatever it is.
If you work your ass off with the right attitude you can get a Ducktor Doom statue.
One can hope
I believe and do most of the things on this list. So many people feel entitled and aren't willing to put in the work. It's a shame
After putting in the work for 7 years and getting absolutely nothing for it other than to see the executives get fat bonuses, people give up. Corporations and CEOs caused this more than the workers.
Look at wage graphs from the 50s to 80s and you'll see a reasonably steady trend with CEOs and workers curving up at a steady path. In the 90s, CEO pay took off like a rocket while employee pay stagnated, no longer climbing in line with company profits. At the same time, they got more efficient and accomplished more than ever, but were never were rewarded.
I understand why so many feel hopeless that no matter how much work they put in, it will never get them anywhere. They've seen it in action for 2 decades now. There are too many soulless corporations who see employees as tools to burn through until they break, discard, and replace rather than entrepreneurial companies led by CEOs who know how to actually lead a team.
I'm my own worst enemy when it comes to motivation. I blame so many things on my life choices but Im working on owning that and being better than I was the previous day. I just need to know what to get started with in order to break the paycheck to paycheck I'm currently living in
This probably your best video that I seen. I have been collecting for a few years I get one statue a year for my birthday. I Always have someone ask why do I spend so much on them. My answer is look I love them and they make me happy. Ihave a feeling of accomplishment when I can purchase one. If you did something that made you just as happy you wouldn't be asking that question. TIME TO MAKE IT LOUD😅
Awesome video, everything you stated is a fact. I live by those rules.
Agree with what you said- key words though “your employees”. To make more money we got to get to high management or start businesses ourselves.
I never use that terminology at work though. I always say people that work with me. not for me.
Lol silly questions its all about the grind just taking chances and hoping for the best, i just started my youtube channel toyhunting for fun if it grows thats great,if it doesnt its still for my hobby regardless keep it up my guy i feel you...
Best advice I can give you. It’s a grind without immediate payoff. And I’m not talking about money. Just keep at it. Persistence
@@TheXtremeChannelMrX thanks man I appreciate the advice you rock my man
Agree for the most part with what you are talking about. Although I think success isn't necessarily a monetary thing. I went into a career in inner city ministry knowing that it would mean that I wouldn't make a lot of money. Success in what I do is measured in the changes I see in young people's lives. I think the same is true for anyone who goes into service industries like teaching, law enforcement, military, or social work.
Agree 100%. But to be successful in Ministry (which I have worked in) I would say the same applies!
Appreciate the advice, thanks
Hulk. Great vid.
Good advice, hope I'm a able to utilize this someday in a career field if I can make it to that point lol, Btw Mr X, do you have a college degree in business or have you just worked for companys always? if that isn't too personal to ask. kinda been binging videos really enjoying the channel, best so far next to gem mint. Glad I found both channels.
I do have a Masters degree. But I was earning six figures way before I even got an associates degree.
@TheXtremeChannelMrX oh😮 that's amazing. I've been a bit astray, but I hope to find the same success, I know it's a road with many hardships. Will work hards towards it. Really admire that!
The worst one for me is “must be nice”. This automatically tells me about a person and who they are. These type of people likely offer nothing to society and or personal relationships with people because they are just victims all the time.
I could only tell you maybe 1-2 people who out work me and I easily deal with thousands of people. Sadly majority of people are “must be nice” people…
Been watching you for years now and this is my favorite video you posted so far. Thanks
Hey bud nice vid. I have been looking for a Wolf Predator Heavy Weaponry by Hit Toys. I am not looking for a hand out at all. I would gladly pay for it if you have one to unload. eBay is ridiculous on their prices. I am well off but still can’t justify spending $699 for that especially when it’s from China and probably a bootleg as is. Thanks. Keep up the great work and please let me know sir. Thanks again.
Sold one years ago
This is my favorite fucking video on all of CZcams. It is most relevant to EVERYTHING else.
/starts taking notes 📝
I model myself after you
Great video. I remember i was outta work so was going to the job centre to sign on for benefits and my dad told me dress smart in a shirt and tie. Because i did that i stood out from the other people and was offered a job at the place itself instead. Lol
Great advice! I’m not sure if I missed it or perhaps misunderstood but I was kinda wondering what specifically you do for work lol. 😅
These 10 things
i'm pretty sure it's something in gambling. Maybe sports.
Thank you for this!!
Great list Mr. X! A lot of the things on this list you would think is common sense, but I work a civil service job and lots of the people I work with unfortunately don’t carry those values. Instead they find loopholes in the system to find ways they can get paid while doing the least amount possible. I guess that’s the bad part of working a Union job because the Union protects these types of workers. 🤦🏽♂️
I think Unions are a great and needed concept with piss poor execution and results. It was meant to protect the hard worker and it does the opposite.
Another person success is not yours 2 gravel 2its up 2 u 2 make ur on path and travel that road 2 success it’s all on U
I love your comment "Dont make excuses" indeed. I always say "Im explaining why, not giving an excuse, it's still on me this happened"
Also, I dont think you NEED to do all this stuff, to live a happy life. Buying things makes some people, happy, but plenty of people are happy with what they have. Both are fine.
Always will enjoy this informational and motivational pieces you do
Great video. I echo essentially the same tenets for success to all my employees. There’s just no substitute for working your ass off and not complaining.
Wish I was hearing this at 21 instead of 41
Great video there is a lot in it that people need to hear I personally have been striving to do just these things over the past 13 years I have been with the company I work for. As a father of six children in a married man I need to do the best I can for my family generally I work 10 to 11 hours a day while working on getting my associate's degree in business. A work-life balance it's definitely something to strive for as at the end of the day your family is always number one at the same note you always need to provide
Loved the video
This was excellent
Love the videos…also go broncos!!!!!
Heading there now!
#11 -- Don't waste money on becoming members of CZcams channels.😉 Seriously, though, I would add one that has recently become an issue, and that is don't work from home. If you want to move up in an organization, you have got to put in the facetime at work. You have got to make those interpersonal connections that simply cannot be made sitting at home on a Zoom call.
I am a member of CZcams channels to support that content maker
great stuff man!!!! this was solid information!!!!!
Whatever you do, take pride in it. Even if someone is better than you, still be great. If you say you're going do something, DO IT! If you find out you can't, you should be the one to report "hey I'm not going to be able to do it, but this is what I will or can do. That's how I roll.
Well said
I think this is a really great motivational video, awesome to see you talking on real life stuff Mr. X
Inspirational video!
Nice vid but tell us about ur pharmacology career, if u were born in the 1900, you would've crushed during prohibition 🚫, Good luck with phase 4 silver surfer only seen one , hyped 2 see yours when it's done
I don't know... it's very work-related. And that can be very different depending on which country you live in. You can work your ass off and still get nothing out of it. What about investing?
Investing will never replace working hard
Great video, I work 60 hours a week, I have worked for what a have and where I am, people can't be arsed sometimes to push forward, have a good week Mr X 👍
In Europe, people are used to go for holiday for 2-3 weeks straight and Im talking complete cut-off so we tend to look down at this US approach of not being able to put your work completely behind for some time. 25 days of paid holiday per year is a norm here. Try to change this, the people would riot.
To be fair, Europe's approach actually makes more sense and for good reason. It's utterly asinine to have your company, a division, a department, or even just a team so reliant on one person being always accessible that everything breaks down without them.
What happens if that person doesn't take a day off, but gets T-boned by a semi-truck and is instantly killed on the way to work? That complete cut-off forces the employee to take a break (which increases productivity and profitability for the company, btw) as well as forces the company & teams to learn to be able to handle things in their absence.
There are also studies that prove the human brain simply burns out. Working 100 hours is actually less productive than 80, which is less productive than 60, which is less productive than 40 and even 40 may be less productive than 32.
Working longer is not necessarily working more efficient.
Said, even if only one person leans from it you have won.
Amen seek his Kingdom 1st before all. All else will be added in Jesus name
Excellent video Mr X!
FINALLY! I'd love to know what you do, but this will suffice! Great list! Thank you
Work hard and keep pushing the limits
i thought the most common question would be mr x how much have you had to drink today lol
The answer is usually ALOT. However, I'm 2 for 14 days right now
@TheXtremeChannelMrX Mr x right now I'm 14 for 2
Fantastic info but I think you never answered what you actually do lol. You did mention "in your company". Maybe I missed it lol.
I'm a leader of a lot of people. I actually do nothing. They do all the work
@@TheXtremeChannelMrX That's pretty sweet.
Very true on the there is always more to learn tip
Thank you, Mr. Extreme for some great advice.
Well said. Well said.

This video needed to be made! So if Mr. X works 100 hours a week as a traveling doctor to afford his statues, are you going to do the same? More than likely not, so someone's career doesn't matter. Whatever you make, save up the money to buy whatever you want. If you don't make enough money, better yourself with the 10 rules in this video so you obtain all the things you want!
