    In this podcast I am going to talk about how to make money online while travelling. Why am I qualified to talk about this? I have been travelling for 5 years and I have thought hundreds of others how to do the same. I have been to 35 countries while running a business online and making money online. So, most people think that if you want to travel and make money online you can get jobs locally like bartending and that kind of stuff. Now, here is the problem with that.
    If you go somewhere, usually you are going to go to Thailand, Spain. In these countries people do not get paid that much money. So, you are not going to be paid that much money, you are going to be kind of a poor backpacker if you decide to do that. And you need to speak whatever local languages. Sometimes English is enough, but usually it is not and you need to speak local language, because you need to get, for example, if you are doing club promotion you have to speak to everyone. Otherwise you do not make that much money.
    Another solution that other people use is to become an English teacher or in certain language teacher in other countries. This works especially well in South-East Asia. I have a friend Alex. He does this stuff. This works. It is fantastic, but you are kind of stuck in one location, because you get hired by one school. They pay a couple of hundred thousand dollars per month. It is ok. But it is not great.
    However, I found that the best way to make money online while travelling is to build an online business. You can start with just freelancing. You can go to upwork.com and websites like freelancer.com and apply to online projects and get the project and you get paid for projects when you deliver them.
    This can be translation if you know two languages for example. Or if you know websites, you can sell websites. If you know Facebook adds, you can sell Facebook adds. You can learn all these things. It is not that hard. It takes a couple of weeks of really concentrated studying to learn it. And then you can become a freelancer basically. As long as you get the people from Upwork on the phone call and then you close sales. That is how everyone does these days.
    So, freelancing is great and it is a good place to get started, but eventually you want to upgrade and turn it into an actual business, where you are not the only one doing all the work. You can hire people from India, from Philipines and so on. You pay them 5, 8, 3 dollars per hour and they do a lot of the work for you. So, you are not just an employee, doing all of the work managing projects and so on. You have people who deliver the projects, you have people who help you with sales or even close sales. Get people help you manage the projects and whatever else you need. You can outsource just everything these days.
    You can go to the same websites like Upwork.com to find people to outsource too. Now, this is all great and it works fantastically well.
    However, you can not run a business and you cannot make money online if you do not have your life handled, like your life situation. If you are a backpacker and you are staying in hostels and you are always travelling every week, that does not work. You cannot run a successful business like that. There is no passive income. You have to spend the majority of your time working, but that is fine, because you are travelling and you can spend a lot of time going around and climbing mountains, going on trips and so on. So what is the solution for the living situations.

  • Should I Start A Business (The Uncomfortable Truth)
    In this podcast I answer the question "should I start a business?"... You'll find out if business is worth it... Cause it's certainly not for everyone, find out who it's for in this podcast.

    In this video I am going to answer the question: “Should I start a business?” When I started 8 years ago, I thought that I am going to get into business and there is going to do little work and I am going to be a billionaire and everything will just come to me and all of the success that I have ever wanted is going to be in my hands almost instantly.
    I thought it would take half an year max and my business will be passive income automated. I will be flying over the world and just meeting awesome girls and doing all of the cool shit that I have ever wanted to do. That is what I thought 8 years ago. Two years later I went out of business. And I had to start all over again, because I had a small debt from failing to make a good enough profit and let’s be honest any profit in the first 2 years.
    So, here is what I learned after that. Since then I realized that running a business is not for everyone. If you do not want to hustle, if you do not want to become a hustler, if you do not want to learn how to make shit happen while making your business reality and sacrificing most of your free time to build that business, then probably you should not.
    If you want to have you hand held and you want to be studying in university and you think in university they are going to teach you everything and after so many in university, then you are going to be instantly prepared to get into business. I am sorry. That is not true. If you think that someone else is going to work for you and you do not have to do it, but someone else will and you just are going to be the CEO making decisions, strategic decisions and stuff like that. I am sorry, business is probably not for you.
    However, if you realize that you just have to focus on one thing, keep implementing, keep hustling and stick at it for many years and you are hungry for that success, you are hungry to make millions of dollars, then business is probably for you. In the last few years, in the last 5 years I have visited 35 countries while travelling the world and building my business online. And I have coached hundreds of people to do the same.
    So, here is what I have learned. So, when you enter the world of business, as they say the 5 people you surround yourself with. That is the average that you will become. Now, in business if you are in sales, if you are in marketing and you are dealing with other business owners, guess what? Those people, they have already made it. Those people are pretty damn cool.
    So, when you get into business, you are actually around really cool people, who are really looking to make the world a better place. There is no room for too much greed. They want money, but they want to contribute. They understand value, they are all these good character trades that will allow you to learn from osmoses and you will be able to become a better person. Have more fun in your life, travel the world, meet more interesting people, make more money and that is a major, major benefit to your business.
    And let’s say that you want to be a philanthropist, let’s say you want to give back and help the unfortunate. How can you do that if you do not run a business? Make some of that money that you make in your job and you give it to charity. What will they do with that money? It is just a company. They take 80% of it and you put it in your pocket and pay taxes or whatever, right?
    If you run a business you can actually afford to start your own thing and hire the people that you want to hire. If you want to hire the people who need help, go for it.

  • What To Do After University (Teachers Would Never Admit This)
    Here's the alternative FUN path you can take after university that your teachers never told you about (because they don't know, they CANT know).
    “Want to connect on facebook? Add me on Facebook:

    Today, I am going to talk about what to do once you get out of university or college. Now, if you figure this out, you are going to be able to maximize the most out of time possible, because if you are just graduating, then you still have a lot more years ahead of you than someone who figures out what to do at the age of 30. If you do not figure this out, you can spend a lot of time wandering around and learning random skills and doing pretty normal stuff. That’s fine as well.
    A lot of people, they are satisfied with that. But, if you are not satisfied, if you want more of life, if you want to achieve and you want real success this podcast is for you.
    So, let’s dive right into it. For me, right out of college I made the decision that was the least controversial. I started a business right out of college with no experience and basically no expertise. What happened was the first 2 years I failed miserably in business and then I learned a lot. Now, most people they do get a job right out college and that is also a viable solution and let’s be honest for most people that is the most viable solution.
    However, since you are watching this YouTube channel and since you are actively looking at stuff about entrepreneurship, then you are more interested in being a hustler and getting success, getting serious wealth, travel the world and doing cool stuff with your life. So in that case, if you are into that, now is the time to take the biggest risks that you have ever taken in your life. Because when you are 20 / 22, when you graduate from college or university, this is the time when most people are not married yet, they do not have a lot of commitments, they do not have too much debt, unless you are in United States, then maybe you have some debt, but it is not as much as someone who bought a house.
    So, you have the least amount of responsibilities out of anyone. That is the demographic that you are a part of right now. And that is the perfect time to take risks, to see how far you can take it.
    So, what should you focus on in general? Be it a job or business or something else what should you focus on? For me I always said and always committed to learning skills and mastering skills, because no matter what you are going to do, if you master skills that are valuable in the world, you will always have a place in the world, you will always have a way to make money, you will always have something that no one else can take away from you and no matter how bad the economy is or whatever you are going to have fall back on. And from these skills I recommend choosing sales and marketing to start off with, because any kind of business you start and most good jobs, they require you to have some sales and marketing skills.
    Now, how do you learn sales and marketing? I recommend starting with sales, because it is like the bonus version of what you need without knowing a lot of technical skills. So, you can learn sales by getting a product to sell and then selling it.
    What I started doing right out of college, I just decided that I am going to sell videos and websites, and SEO and I just called companies and sold it and then figured it out how to deliver it. In the beginning I failed a couple of times and then I figured it out eventually. I managed to figure it out.
    Now, you can figure it out much easier, because you have internet, you have coaches, you have mentors, you have books, you can learn how to do this. You have Udemy courses. You just need to figure out how to deliver a service and then you can figure out where do you get clients and then sell to those clients. That is what you can do to learn sales.

  • Barely Legal Money Hustles I Was Forced To Do... Don't Tell My Mom
    In this video I discuss all the different "money hustles" I did before the age of 22. We go through some different things that have allowed me to make money as a student...
    “Want to connect on facebook? Add me on Facebook:

    I get many messages from young people asking me for an advice on how to start a business with no money. They complain about not having enough money and have no idea what to do with their life. According to me, the best thing in that case is to go and get a job.
    People are very confused and do not know how to make money. They live in a world with limitless opportunities and there are jobs everywhere around them.
    When I was 16 years old I was calling a lot of companies asking them for a job or if I can sell them something. I had almost no skills, but eventually I got a job.
    Many people think that they can’t find a job, because the economy is bad and that is absolutely not true at all. Even if the economy is bad, there are still lots of opportunities.
    If you really want to achieve something in your life, you will be able somehow to create an opportunity in front of you. If you are a student, you can say that you are not going to work and get drunk every day. However, there are students who prefer to work and hustle in pursuit of their dreams.
    I have had 13 jobs before the age of 22. I was forced to do things like wake up at 5am, take a bus for hour and half and then clean toilets for a minimum wage. Furthermore, I have been working as a waiter for an entire summer holiday for below minimum wage and more than 8 hours a day.
    After the age of 23 I started emailing companies asking for a job and money. Eventually one of them offered me a job, but it was really hard to get it.
    I was also approaching local businesses and offered them marketing services. I had to experience a lot of rejections, but some of these companies offered me a job.
    Another thing that I have been doing is writing in a blog about video games.
    During that time I was surviving on $20 a week for food. It was not that bad, but it is not enough for sure.
    When you desperately need money, you should get a job. I was in that situation and it was not that hard. You have to start from the bottom. There are jobs everywhere that can help you step on your feet and then you can move on and start a business.
    I had a very lazy mindset in my early years. Although I was that lazy, I was able to do it. So, if I can do it, you can do it as well.
    Entrepreneurs are always looking for young people who want to hustle and want opportunities and go the extra mile. Approach companies, email them, offer value and go towards your goal.

    I get many messages from young people asking me for an advice on how to start a business with no money. They complain about not having enough money and have no idea what to do with their life. According to me, the best thing in that case is to go and get a job.
    People are very confused and do not know how to make money. They live in a world with limitless opportunities and there are jobs everywhere around them.
    When I was 16 years old I was calling a lot of companies asking them for a job or if I can sell them something. I had almost no skills, but eventually I got a job.
    Many people think that they can’t find a job, because the economy is bad and that is absolutely not true at all. Even if the economy is bad, there are still lots of opportunities.
    If you really want to achieve something in your life, you will be able somehow to create an opportunity in front of you.
