If your passionate about your own business, you will make time. I was working for 9 dollars an hour just to cover rent. On the side, my business is making huge strides everyday. We all have the same 24hrs in a day. #figureitout #greatwork

I know you may not see this comment! Hey Gary love the content it's weird 6months ago I was content with the 7-3 in construction and when I would get off work I would play PC games til I went to bed. When the jobs got slow I was laid off and to me it was the best thing that happen it made me dig deep into my entrepreneur side of making money online I quit video games tv shoes and now I'm passionate about what I do building my personal brand putting out content and investing myself. It's so powerful when your doing what you love to do I'm 23 and like you said you gottah hustle I work from when I wake up til I goto sleep but anyways great content Gary always motivating to watch you!

I work full time and have been trying to figure out when i can make time and i realized you need to have a solid plan. You have to know realistically how long it will take so you will need steps and time frames. Like you said Gary. Will it take you 7 months or 7 years? Thats important to know because if you work for 7 months with the action of 7 years you will get discouraged very early on. I say go for it but dont be so attached you get discourage. You have to start and just keep working at it and if you love what you do 7 years will be a breeze

This was helpful. I just posted a video of tips on working a 9-5 while running a business

Only a very small percentage of people can get by on 5 hours of sleep a night. They are outliers in realm of human experience. Most people need at least 7 hours a night consistently to be functional. If they want to do great things, 8 hours a night is required for optimum brain performance. Gary is one of those rare people who has no need for more than 5 hours of sleep a night. The rest of us will suffer from sometimes severe health consequences if we don't get our 7-8 hours of sleep.

So, how about us mere mortals? How do we get ahead without literally killing ourselves in the process?

I have a business that I'm trying to get off the ground and I also have a job that I hate and can't wait to leave. Sigh. 😭
