Some people prefer to live in small places where there is less stress and less noise. They have become entrepreneurs, because they wanted to travel anywhere in the world and not have a job in a building in a major city.

On the other hand, there are other people who prefer to live in major cities and want to have access to everything. If you are an entrepreneur who wants to make a change in the world, I would recommend you to stick to the big cities.

In my opinion if you want to build a real successful business and if you want make an impact on the world, you have to live in major cities.

The competition in bigger cities is much bigger. Everything is much more expensive than in smaller cities. It is almost impossible to find a place to live because of the high prices. The quality of life is very high. Only people who are the most efficient in their business are able to live in cities.

There are a lot of business owners, investors, writers. They always improve, innovate and make changes in order to become better at what they do. You can gain a lot of knowledge from them. These are people who can take your business on a new level if you ask your question in the right way. If you are not able to communicate properly, contribute to society, if your business is not on a very high level, it is very hard to survive.

The situation is the same in every big city like Tokyo, London, etc. Wherever you go, you tend to be the poorest person in the room.

There are people who live in small towns and they tend to be much more successful than others. When they go to a bigger city, they are much below average. If you end up in such a situation, you have to step up your game. If you don’t, you have to go back.

Just by being in a big city, the level of performance goes up automatically. Otherwise, you have to go back to where you came from.

When you see 10 other people who are more successful than you and make more money than you, that forces you to step up your game and perform better.

Every business in a big city is at a much higher level. It has a better marketing strategy, customer service. There is way more variety, more options for business opportunities and wealthy people who can afford to buy your products.

It is more expensive to live in a big city, but the people who you surround yourself there can push you to work smarter and become more successful.

People can go out of business just like that if they don’t adjust. The competition can kill you immediately if you do not pay attention.

When I visit a big city, I get a lot of invites for interviews and live events. People take you more seriously when you are not in a small village anymore.

If you want to become successful, move to a big city. There is noise and expensive life, but it’s totally worth it.

Here's a speech from a live event I did about how to start a business (even if you have no money).

If you truly want to achieve happiness and do cool shit with your life, not the boring path that everyone seems to travel, then you need to hustle for the rest of your life until you die.

Why do most people say that they do not want to work for the rest of their life? If you are 20 years old, you do not know what is like to be 65. But you can see what kind of life are they leading, but you do not know what it feels like. You do not see an alternative.

I was fortunate enough that I saw thanks to mentors, thanks to books, thanks to talking and meeting very successful people I saw that there is a completely different path. The path where you hustle for the rest of your life, working on something that you actually want to do, not something that you are forced to do and that you hated every day of your life.

Every morning you get into traffic to get to your job and you help some guy build his dream and then his company makes billions of dollars and in the most 99% of the companies you are basically a tiny cog in a machine.

If you are being hired for a job you will be a cog in a machine. That is the definition of a job for most companies. That is how it works. If you want to get that happiness and that fulfillment and achieve more in your life you should not want to go down that path. I think you can completely avoid this whole job situation and you go straight into entrepreneurship.

Sales is a skill that is necessary in almost any kind of business that you run ever. We can use Instagram as an example. Do the founders of Instagram need the skill of sales? They are just running an app, but they need money from investors. And they get the money from investors by showing up in front of audience. That skill is pitching in sales.

What is the first thing you need to be able to get into business? People think that they can read a book in 4 hours and they can be able to start a business. People have this misconception that you can just make shit happen, learn all these skills that I just mentioned in 4 hours per week. The first thing you need is 4 hours per day as a bare minimum just to earn a few hundred dollars income online.

In the beginning you are not going to be able to go from 0 to three thousand dollars income per month over a period of 2/3 weeks. For most people that is not going to happen, especially if you start from 0 and have no skills.

I have worked with 325 people. I coached them from nothing to owning a business and not a single one was working 4 hours per week and achieved anything ever.

On the other hand, there are exceptions. I have worked with one of my students. He did not have any experience in sales and in business. But he does the hours and the 4/5 hours of work. He learns really fast. He applies the scientific method, trial and error, learn from the mistakes and compare results and all that kind of stuff. He is applying that throughout the process and after 3 months he was able to turn those sales calls into 10 clients paying 65 000 British pounds per month. That is what his business is bringing him in revenue.

Why? He was very persistent. He learned much faster than the average person and he implemented a working business model.

If you are starting a business most people believe that you need an idea. But if you are just starting out this does not matter. The ideas are all (most of them) useless. Why? Because you do not have any business experience. You do not know how the world works.

The path is to find a working business model that is proven to work. The working business model does not rely on you getting a good idea.

How to find a mentor and how to choose the right type of mentorship for you? Your choice in mentors depends on what you need from your life and what is right for your life situation.

Three types of mentors:

1 – Reading books by entrepreneurs or other types of people who have made it before you and have written down everything that they have accomplished in life and how they have accomplished it.

This is not the most efficient type of mentorship, because you spent a lot of time reading a book that is written for relatively wide audience. It is not directly targeted to you. So, you are getting the lowest amount of results out of the three types of mentorship.

2 – Getting coached. If you are looking to get good at business, then get a good business coach. The big benefit here is that the results that you are getting are astronomically higher than from a book. A lot of the most successful people that I know they go into getting a mentor and getting coached by a person who is a specialist, who know what he is talking about and adjust his message to you.

What happens is that the results are much higher, the flexibility is much higher. It does cost more money and overall I think this is the best solution for most people.

3 – Work with someone. You can do this by getting a job. But usually you do not get paid. If you want to get mentored and see how they run their business, in most cases you are not going to get paid.

A lot of times people take internships where they get mentored like this or a very low paid position. They are going to teach you a lot. Then you are going to be able to replicate the results and then you are going to be able to do it in your own life. However, you have to work for someone else and listen to what he says and you have to do what you are told to do.

You will have very low amount of flexibility. They will teach you, but they will not adjust the message just to you. They will adjust the message based on what they want you to do for their company. You are kind of stuck with jobs. Most of the mentorships like this are jobs.

They are not going to teach you how to run a business, they are not going to show you the broad overview unless you spend like unless you spend a decade in that company.

There are many advantages and disadvantages with all three of these mentorships and I have tried all of them.

How do you get the books? You just go and buy them. How do you get the business mentor? You go out and find the type of mentor that is good for you and runs the type of business that you want to run successfully and has business mentorship or other type of mentorship skills that you need.

Just knowing something, just being good at something does not mean that you are good at teaching it. It is a very hard skill to learn how to teach people and adjust the message to their personality, to their needs. It is a very complicated skill.

Always choose the right person, who can prove that they have results, who can prove that they have results and who have a community behind them that is supporting them and are raving fans. That is very important when you are selecting that kind of mentor.

Should I start my own business or go get a job? Here are reasons to go for it, become an entrepreneur and live a life of adventure...

All of the people that I know who have successful business (6 figures or more), they do it for a reason. They want to feel in a certain way, they want to be with certain people, they want to help their parents or their wife or their girlfriend in some cases.

Why would you work for non-profit organization? Does it pay a lot of money?

Here is an example of what one of my students did: He did what he was passionate about. He was a pharmacist. But he told me that he does not want to do this for the rest of his life. What is he really passionate about? He is passionate about helping people. That is why he got into non-profit organizations as an employee.

How much can you achieve as an employee for a non-profit organization? How many people can you help as an employee? Very limited amount of people, because you do not have money, you do not have influence and no one listens to you.

How many people can you help as a company? You do not need to be a non-profit organization to help people. As a company you can help millions of people if you grow. You can employ 5 million people. You do not need to give them money or food, you do not need to have the government to pay for their education. They can do everything for themselves and help themselves.

Many people believe that corporations are evil. Who is paying for everything? The people are paying for everything. Where do people get the money? They get the money by being in this process and the set of processes is called corporation.

I do not want to work for a corporation, but I want to build corporations, I want to build a billionaire company. You can have that kind of an ambition or you can be an employee, which is your choice. If you want to have influence and help the world and make a change, you need to go and build something that is not just for yourself. That is a community of people that are working together on something. That is the best way I know working on anything.

Have you ever seen how government does anything? Imagine that the taxes keep going up and all the money goes to governments and they keep spending it in an inefficient way and people who do not deserve got power. That is what governments do.

Companies and entrepreneurs – we are dedicated to making it work in the market. The market will always vote with money. The money is the vote. If you go and buy something, you are voting for something. As an entrepreneur that is the best type of change that I believe in. it is help people helping themselves. You are able to improve people’s lives. You can create awesome stuff, you can have influence, you can travel the world, you can have girls.
