"Worked so hard forgot how to vacation."
-Kevin O'Leary
I hate how much I resemble the guy. I would never be able to perma vacation either...I go stir crazy after not working for 2 hours..let alone 6 months.
He is so right when he says "for an entrepreneur, when you cannot compete its like jail."
Did I just see the ISLAND OF MALTA in the back ground ?! Wow...this Made me miss Malta again !!
Malta is the shit lol
I understand what he means. Its like when bodybuilders need to take time off from their training. When what you do makes you feel so good, you can't fathom taking yourself away from it.
When you have access to unlimited leisure time it becomes mundane. You need the contrast.
Exactly
No thats not it at all.
Totally relate, currently stuck in Cleveland for the past three weeks. I appreciate being with my family but all I can think about is the progress I am losing out on..... Back home to Galway, Ireland on Friday >:)
"If you never worked again you would be completely unfulfilled". Tony Robbins

Yupp that's why those who don't work live like their isolated & won't amount into anything. That's because it's true what Tony Robins had to say about not working.
I was unemployed for several months and even though I received money through Employment insurance I was in a perpetual state of stress and uncertainty..
Working gives us a sense of purpose, completion of certain goals, a sense of direction if you will.
First off fuck tony robbins. Second. We're conditioned to be overworked. Much so that when we can actually relax, it guilts us. I'm trying to retire as young as possible. If I get bored, I'll volunteer. I don't need more money and I don't need to make anyone else more money.
Totally feel him, as an athlete when you take an unexpected vacation. You lose the days to better yourself
You can still bring jump-rope anywhere
Beerus Sama true. You just want to get back in
kenet hernandez
Everyday either by training or recovering right
Synchronizer07 I do that
But 200 meter sprints are something you can’t replace 😂😂
This guy lol
I totally get it.
Asking me to not be there for the opening bell of the stock market is like asking me to hammer a nail into my hand.
Uplifting character. If your mind is used to working at a certain pace a vacation is unpleasant, there's not enough stimulus to keep your spirit going.
real plug talk
Where is the full interview ?
Interesting thoughts. I like his viewpoint.
0:39 Croatia... nicee
Brooo he looks exactly in any memory he has shown
Mattel's acquisition of The Learning Company has been referred to as "one of the worst acquisitions of all time". Kevin wanted to re-acquire TLC from Mattel. Please Mattel lost as much as 3.6 Billion dollars as soon as it acquired TLC for 4.2 Billion dollars. Making a deal with Kevin is like making a deal with the Devil.
This is so deep
I had this feeling when I quit my job to study. It was the most horribly thing.
I have so much respect for Kevin.
Every time I go on vacation I'm climbing the walls for the first 3 days.
Picture at 0:35 is Kyrenia harbour in Northern Cyprus. I used to live there.
Nice
Hus Sulo my cousin lives in Nicosia
Hus Sulo been there a couple times but there’s fucking praying mantis everywhere
So nice I was right there on that castle behind. I love Kyrenia and Cyprus :-) Çok güzel!
Word.
Maybe I'm not from this planet. When I work I feel like I'm in jail. When I go on vacation, I'm a new man. I start living life. I see work life as fake life and not working, going to nature, visit other countries I see as real life.
36 months is a long time to have to not do what you love. He loves business and being productive. That’s what he’s saying. I get it.
Peak performance
No Hawaiian pants? 😂
Sad thing is i know how he feels
Sometimes the game is the reason of one’s existence.
First mistake...Beach...I've never been to one for a vacation, but then again I live beside Lake Superior. However my rule is to see as much as I can where I live which is Canada...I go West to BC and it's never the same each time I go...Amazing and you don't SIT.
Here right now. Past 5 months of my life. Ugh
this is my "fear" although its a stupid way to use the word fear. If I become motivated to become a hard working entrepreneur and make it big (which, of course, is in no way easy) so I could have a life of rich luxury and travel, in order to get there I'd have to make some pretty big mentality changes and by the time I get there, I'd have changed so much I wouldn't even want my original wants anymore and instead my brain would be stuck on work mode 24/7 and would feel anxiety over being on vacation because of all the time being "wasted." Cause time is money!
Kevins haircut is anything but wonderful
maxwell smart if he wanted to get hair transplants he could of like elon musk
I like this guy
that part.
Why is he using a laptop from the silent era ?
fuck a vacay i feel better at work
That time was actually the moment he realized he should do better. It inspired him
If vacation is miserable for you, you've gotta a pretty cush life.
Cush? How?
Cody Evans Its the definition of 1st world problens. A vacation is out of reach for most people in our world. Many people are too focused on surviving to consider holidays. The fact that we complain about such things is evidence of our prosperity.
Scott Witkowski he is doing the opposite. Your comment is responding as if he is complaining about not having enough vacations.
Cody Evans Uh, no
Scott Witkowski it's his life, it's what he wants, what the fuck do you care?
this is funny lol
I got 3 days of work and was so bored all I wanted to do was spend money
I disliked the video as the title is wrong he is not saying he was sad because one vacation, it was vacation after vacation misleading title saying about one
really it was the non compete if he could be on a beach running a software company he would be fine. It was depression from not working not really taking vacation.
Addicted to work and can't have fun. Now that's a curse
I really don't want to go on a 5 week vacation trip to Vietnam with my mom and sister...
you're not going to come back the same. plan an escape now
well i am Vietnamese, and i have been there. Just rather not go.
I think the moral of the story is: There are more places to visit than beaches.
I mean Christ sake Kev, you can go inland a bit. Won't kill you
Well it might. I don't recommend going inland in Mexico.
manictiger Ah come on. That's judy a very small bit of Mexico. It's mainly a lovely country with great people
"Sharks" will DIE if they go "inland" just saying....
Mattel was stupid buying O'leary company TLC, that immediately they made so much losses in billions from the investors. Mattel did not see hidden underlines that TLC is losing money before they acquired it. When buying a company check everything even the janitors, cleaners and mind your surrounding. for Kevin we know your smiling behind this deal all the time while island hopping and investors losing so much money. Your a damn good sales person i give you that.
Weather your in real estate holding the shelter people need to survive for mass rent or pricetags, You own the federal reserve and irs taking peoples money for "government services", or in business where your taking investors money, to even selling cheap slave made products from china or third world countries. All forms of business breaks down to simply stealing as much money from other people as you can. Mattel isn't innocent they've robbed, hurt and stolen just as much as he has. Business is business and none of it is nice.
In my mind what hes saying is that he was getting too much R&R at one time. He wanted to work, wanted to make an impact on the players and the industry he knows best, wanted to make more money. Of course he did hes a shark always hungry, nothing wrong with that. He was getting enough or even too much stimulus on constant vacations..eventually you get a feeling of worthlessness and unfullfillment and you want to get back out there and work to fill that void. Can't play all the time, can't work all the time..have to have a nice ratio of both..a nice balance..equal at best if possible..work life balance..can be hard to achieve..takes practice to get there to actually be able to find happiness in life and be at peace.
36 months is not a vacation
I will NEVER sign a non-compete again...2 years of HELL.
my nigga
FINANCIAL FREEDOM GETS YOU THE ABILITY TO REALLY CONTROL YOUR OWN DESTINY!!!
THANK YOU!
Yeah he looked freakin miserable in those beach photos
Vacations are kind of dumb if you think about it. You spend money to go lay on beach somewhere hot doing absolutely nothing.
What a problem to have!
A great example and lesson that simply having a lot of money in and of itself does NOT bring happiness or fulfillment.
None compete??
non compete. If you owned a bakery and were a really good owner the guy buying the bakery might ask you to sign a non compete meaning you couldn't immediately open up a new bakery and take the old bakeries customers.
Jake Collier oh thank you
Oh poor kevin....such a hard life
And this becomes a rat race of it's own. compete until your residual income is able to support you then retire and choose another path or be stuck as a harstruck "entrprenure" forever.
#firstworldproblems
Having these kinds of problems is what created the first world. You don't become wealthy if all you're ever interested in is the next vacation.
It looked like he was sitting on the floor inside a masjid
Serial entrepreneur?
What a joke
OOOoooo the wife got drunk and killed a bunch of pipple linda linda linda😨
He looks sad.
Could be titled:"Soulless capitalist who cannot confront the self, instead escapes to the endless stream of stimulus"
I've always wondered why people hate on guys like him. He's passionate about what he does. He's happy, has a family and is doing well. What's to hate? So he's a dick sometimes. Who gives a fuck? Most people are dicks. Rich or poor.
Anthony Bell exactly. Most poor people do not behave like dicks because they really can’t afford that. That’s all there is.
If you don't chase stimulus, you might as well be dead.
What are you living for? Seriously?
biistful what else is there to live for if you don't follow your "stimulus"? Don't we all find meaning in doing activities?
biistful Mr "enlightened one" here telling people how soulles they are and telling people how to live their lives whithout even knowing that person personally
"So, basically I went on a world tour exploring every beach... and I was miserable." God, don't I feel sorry for him?
Very unnatural.
I find this guy the most annoying on TV. Has nothing to do with his affluence.
