I love that quote, "Entrepreneurs work 80 hours, so they don't have to work 40."

Relatable.

Nobody can become financially successful overnight. They put in background work but we tend to see the finished part. Fear is a dangerous component, hindering us from taking the bold steps we need in other to reach our goals.

I'm 54 and my wife and I are VERY worried about our future, gas and food prices rising daily. We have had our savings dwindle with the cost of living into the stratosphere, and we are finding it impossible to replace them. We can get by, but can't seem to get ahead. My condolences to anyone retiring in this crisis, 30 years nonstop just for a crooked system to take all you worked for.

I traded well on my Demo account but when I invested in to my main account i lost all my funds. Please i need an expert to assist me with my trading. It's frustrating how people loss funds in this trading, I really feel so bad.

Start small, put in the work, that initial sweat equity will pay off in the long run way more than any outside capital ever will! 💰

I start my business at 100$. 2 years later i earn 2000$ every month. And I'm not from America. 2k $ is bit much here in my country. Average salary is 500$

YouTube finally recommending good information

I love watching Kevin O'Leary ever since I started watching Shark Tank. Next to Marc Cuban, He is one of my favorite businessmen that is in the spotlight. He is amongst all the business titans in the market. For this video, they both talk about sweat equity and bootstrapping, which I feel is a great way to start your business and raise capital for it, giving you an authentic sense of growth and scale for your business ventures.

mark cuban starting to age while Mr wonderful still looks fresh, I guess cause he is a Chevalier du Tastevin

I’ve put in the sweat and used income from my salary to help leverage the r&d into my product. After verifying that it works. I’m very excited to keep going forward

Being doing that since I first watched that video! Yes! We want to focus 100% on the business to make it evolve... But not many people can do that.... So get a second/third job/income and make it happen!
When it's proved and profitable, you can focus on it 100% or even better, diversify!

When a guy like Kevin starts a YouTube channel and starts inviting more Billionaires...how can anyone even compete? hah 😅

[GoFastJames]

That's the same thing said by many and its right for the most part, but there are many businesses that have to have x money to run and would take too long to build up the kind of capital needed.
Would be nice to talk about things that would really help. Like how to network better to build relationships that can lead to investors, the best place to learn to make a business plan, and what most investors look for.

[ELIFI]

This is how I did it too! Keep your job and have a side business until your side business is a real business. Then you don't need any outside capital 😉

Thanks Kevin!!! With this whole pandemic going on, I'm sure there are a lot of challenges out

[AndyMorrisArt]

I'm glad this was the very first video I watched after searching "raise money for a business" because this is exactly what I had planned to do but had heard of others doing crowdfunding. If Mark Cuban says sweat equity is the best then I believe him.

[unmiss-com]

Never rely on others. If you have limited budgets or even nothing it's enough to overcome any obstacles. Focus on one thing working so hard. You win if you're patient.

[stevenbutler]

Love your channel! Lots of good information here. Haven't made it big yet but I'll keep trying :)

[TheEricalmonte]

Kevin, you have a huge heart! God bless.

What I’m doing, and I think a lot of you could try something like this is, work your full-time (because you might have too), and as your business grows you cut down your hours at your full-time. I work at a grocery store full-time, as I gain clients little by little, I’m going to cut down to 30 hours, then 20, then 10, then eventually one day a week until I get busy enough with my business and gain revenue to quit my day job.
