Kevin uses good psychology - he FIRST PUTS HIMSELF DOWN so others feel more comfortable and don't feel like losers. Later on he speaks of his success' which is incredibly important because smart guys make it rich more often by copying other winners vs failing over & over trying to re-invent the wheel (Although if you manage to successfully reinvent the wheel, you've just hit a home run with 10 times the payoff as the former method. That said, more success comes more often from the 1st idea

so right on love this guy !!!!!

Wow! This is so much more helpful than I imagined it would be. I've been hearing that word "balance" a lot lately... Apparently, a lack of balance (at this point) is a good thing. Thank you Mr. Wonderful and @iveybusiness!

From 17 - 30 had no personal life. At 21 lost long term girlfriend & most of my highschool friends. Different interests: No longer was into smoking pot, booze etc, - which I did my fair share of, but I gave it up to persue my dreams Some regret - But at 43 I work 15 hours a week (replaced myself at work) with a kind sweet wife 10 years younger, 2 amazing children, And YES YES YES!! it was worth it! I will retire at 45 w/130K lifetime income that will go up w/inflation (rental income)

Could someone please show me the full video? Thank you

Blunt, tell it as it is. Loved it.

Mr.Wonderful knows best. Love Kevin.

Most honest shark

I do get it actually. This man could lay in the couch his whole life and still live like a king, he can do whatever he wants whenever he wants, he can buy anything and everyone. I believe that is what you are referring to (If not please explain), that's why my first sentence "i AGREE that having money is freedom".

where can we see the full video?

He reminds me of Mr Scrooge from the Christmas Carol. Remember how Scrooge sacrificed every thing and became a filthy rich old man that was starved for companionship all his life and only realized that when he had one foot in the grave. Think about all the joy and love that he missed out on all his life. ( A Huge regret! ) Plus theirs no guarantee that your going to get filthy rich when you get into your 70s And big deal if you do it's not like your going to take it with you. You can pet a gold bar all you want but it's never going to love you back. If you balance your life it can turn you into a happy millionaire. If you sacrifice your life for the business, it can turn you into a old crotchety and lonely BILLIONAIRE. The beauty of life is that you get to choose what path that you want to take. But choose wisely! You only have one life to live. You don't get a 2nd chance. Scrooge had a mansion with a huge vault full of gold and only himself to spend it on. It was such a sad scene that even the poor people felt sorry for him at the restaurant. Once he put the work blinders on he couldn't see anything else.

This is 3 minutes. Where is "an EVENING"...? Anyone know where the full talk is?

cold hard truth was an appropriate title

that was serious. But at the end of the day I feel its up to you to decide what you consider success. Fuck that, gimme the money first. THEN I could start, raise and support my family. JJust my opinion.

Whether you are an employee or an employer, there are always prons and cons

cool story bro

wow

tell that to the eyes of the kids, when they ask your for the nike´s or the new ps4, or to go to uni

Don't even look at 18 year olds that's messed up. But I get your point.

This "lack of balance" would also be true for actors. It's pretty much an all or nothing proposition.

I agree that having money is freedom.. But when you are preferring money over your family you are running into slavery.. the contrary.

A few give it up for a girl who later became their wife, and the mother of their kids. Money is not everything!

Well, that's partially true. I don't need that much of wealth to achieve financial freedom, but competition nowadays require more commitment because people are more expendable nowadays. There are other people, foreign and domestic, that are prepared to put more effort and talent to get more money, so you have to keep up. But you don't need life's dedication to make that happen. I'm working until I'm 40, and I'll retire with 4.5 million savings.

Mr Brette Wilson reached his level of success BECAUSE he sacrificed though, it's only after the fact that he is able to look back and say it wasn't worth it. The difference is Kevin is OK with it and Brett isn't. It's a matter of personal preference.

2 people gave up their 5 million dollar a year business for a girl (who then went on to leave them 6 months later for a rich guy).

Just ask Mr Brette Wilson if he feels the same way about sacrificing your family for the pursuit of wealth

got it: love is replaceable, chasing money is the only noble pursuit. on my deathbed i want to know that the numbers in my bank account were the highest they could have been, not have people around me that ""love"" me

This poor man is crazy.

Theres a big difference between "cold hard truth" and having a negative outlook on everything

Yeah, and of course all of these girls are gonna be so "understanding" cuz they'll love you for yourself and not for your money. What a wonderful life of "real love" is waiting ahead of you! LOL

Where have you been for the last 10 years? If you're an employee, you will still have to work like an animal, but you will also have to take shit whilst doing it.

don't speak for everybody else

okay well, why bother learning business in college if your just putting yourself in more debt, then you cannot start a business.

With that attitude towards women, don't ever get married, fall in love nor start a family. They are not for you.

lol what a joke

He's giving the wrong advice. You can be successful and have a family. He should be talking about how to do that but the problem is he doesn't know how so what can he say except to do what he has done. Narrow minded.

Nobody cares.

Total psycho right there.
