This is a video I'm making for Ivanta,

the young man who was working two jobs with a one-year-old who was struggling

and said he was sick and tired of being poor and didn't know how to get out.

I didn't have time to answer you when I was walking,

but I wanted to take this minute to give you a longer answer.

I'll read you the tweet and maybe we'll put it up on the screen. To Ivanta,

the young man who stopped me at the grocery store working

two jobs with a one-year-old who asked advice on how to get ahead.

I gave you a short answer because I was in a rush and it ate at me.

So if you follow me here, maybe you'll read this.

What you're going through is tough.

Being so young and already having to support a child is not easy

but you'll have the opportunity to become an amazing inspiration in a way I never could.

Your success story will become your sermon.

That being said, onto the advice.

You're going to need to assume that luck isn't real,

or that it applies to everyone else but you.

Because the only way you're going to get out of your surroundings is by having something of value that other people want.

And right now, the only thing you have is your time with low skills to trade,

which is a hard game to play.

You have to trade a lot of it,

only to get a little.

So your main objective is to have the time to learn a skill while providing for your family.

That means in the short term,

your family may have to suffer.

Scratch that.

Your family will suffer.

But better now when they're too young to remember it than when they're too old to forget.

Again, not forever, but for now.

So these are the things you're going to have to do.

And this isn't dabble stuff.

This is wake the fuck up because if you don't,

you're going to blink and be 30 and in the same spot, but worse.

Number one, cut all costs.

And I mean all costs.

You don't eat out anymore for anything.

And if you're hungry, you deal with it.

If it's not from a discount grocery store, you don't buy it.

Clothing?

Ha.

What you've got is everything you need for the next two years.

Period.

No exceptions.

Reuse, trade, or go to Goodwill.

You go to work, you go home,

and home is ideally with your family.

And when I say family, your folks.

And if you don't have folks who have got room or a couch or a basement that you can stay at,

the worst case is with another family also trying to make it and save.

So it's six of you,

eight of you, ten of you in one spot.

All splitting it, all of you contributing.

And it's going to be as cheap as you possibly can.

Number two, increase your income.

You're working two jobs.

Your free time, I want you to spend applying to other jobs closer to what you want to do.

He said he didn't like either of the things that he was doing at that time.

So any at-home phone sales job has starter roles that require zero experience to pay $40,000 a year or more.

Do that and work your other job in between.

If you can't, drive Uber.

If you don't have a car,

save up until you do.

Number three, the easiest thing to sell is someone else's stuff.

So start there.

Then learn how to buy stuff for cheap and then flip it.

The bigger the thing, the more you make.

You go from flipping cards to furniture to home,

and the limit never really stops from there on.

Final note, I could hear the stress in your voice when you were talking to me about your situation.

It sounded like you didn't know what to do.

Sadness comes from a lack of options.

It's a feeling of hopelessness.

But whenever you feel that,

I want you to think,

this is ignorance, not sadness.

It means I don't know enough,

and that I can control.

You asked me to come work for free,

but I have no need for low-skilled labor.

But I do have a need for high-skilled beasts.

It's why I make the books and the courses and the content everywhere for free.

So use those.

Then get yourself a high-paying job,

and every day apply for higher-paying ones.

I recommend sales to start.

Then once you get in there,

for the love of God,

Work until your fingers bleed because you have no other option.

You have no luck.

Nothing is going to work out for you.

You're not going to catch a break.

You're going to have to make it happen.

You're going to have to force it.

You've got to become undeniable.

And the best news is,

is that you can do that in less than a year.

So that's my advice.

Number one, cut all your costs, everything.

Number two, work more to make more and apply to better jobs and then learn to sell.

100

Three, start selling more expensive stuff and then eventually sell your own.

101

The game is just trading up over and over and over again.

102

You're just a few trades away from a very different financial situation.

103

So, Avante, I wanted to add on top of that,

104

you're in a tough spot.

105

And I think some of the words I probably just said to you might have hopefully hit home somewhere.

106

But one of the hard things that you've got going on right now is like,

107

when I saw you, you were wearing relatively nice clothes.

108

And I wasn't going to,

109

like, bash you on it when I saw you,

110

but I want to take the opportunity to say, like, you know better.

111

You know what I mean?

112

Like, you know that, like,

113

if you're struggling with money,

114

that's the last thing that you should spend money on, right?

115

And I think one of the difficulties,

116

especially when you're younger, is you've got your friends,

117

you've got your family, and especially if they're all poor,

118

then they have terrible views around money.

119

They might not approve of all the stuff you're learning on the Internet and trying to try these new things out.

120

And the real, real is like you're going to fail a lot.

121

And they're going to say, see, told you so.

122

And the tough part is,

123

is they're going to be right most of the time.

124

Except it's one of those things where it's 99% right, but 100% wrong.

125

Is that anybody who bets against you for this thing being the thing is usually going to be right.

126

It's just like a parent who says,

127

you're going to break up with this person.

128

You're going to break up with this person and you're gonna make up with this person.

129

But they're right with every single person you ever date,

130

except for the person you marry.

131

And then they're 100% wrong.

132

And if you have the perspective of listening to that,

133

it can be incredibly disheartening.

134

And so number one is,

135

I want you to go on a different information diet.

136

So you need to be able to ignore all the stuff

137

that they're giving you because the best way to stay poor is to listen to poor people about how to get rich.

138

You're already taking great steps by watching content and doing this stuff.

139

Just keep doing more of that.

140

And I'm sure your girl you have your baby with, that's your world.

141

Like anybody who's not trying to build Avante 2.0 with you doesn't deserve your time.

142

Because like right now, you have a wallet of money and you got a wallet of minutes.

143

And like every single person you're choosing to pay minutes to or pay dollars to has to earn their keep.

144

And earning their keep in this season of your life is them helping you get to where you want to go.

145

Now, I don't know what you're making in your job.

146

I'm just going to assume the extreme scenario of you're making minimum wage at both jobs

147

and you're working 80 hours doing that.

148

I get it and I respect the hustle,

149

which is why I'm making this video.

150

You need to get more for your time.

151

And right now, the extra time on top of that 80 is you sleeping and probably spending time with your kid.

152

And what I'm going to say,

153

people in your surroundings will say,

154

like, that guy's extreme or that guy, he's not balanced.

155

And the answer is yes.

156

I am extreme and I am unbalanced.

157

For the season that you're in,

158

I think you should be too.

159

Because the thing is, it's like if you don't take action on this,

160

five years is going to go by and nothing's going to change because you're not going to get ahead.

161

Like, you need to get your head firmly above water

162

because you probably barely feel like you can keep your head above surface, right?

163

That's where all that stress is coming from.

164

And you don't know what to do.

165

So to get the water lower,

166

you've got to lower your time budget and your money budget.

167

And I want to go really extreme with you.

168

And I'm not telling you to do anything I didn't do, all right?

169

I owned my car in cash,

170

which I think was a $5,000 or $6,000 car.

171

And I slept in a room with another dude in a house that had six other people in it.

172

And we all split it.

173

So I wasn't in a terrible neighborhood.

174

I just paid $400 a month in a nice neighborhood because I didn't have my own place.

175

And so I had to split my kitchen.

176

And I had to deal with the fact

177

that three of them had dogs and were shit and piss everywhere all the time.

178

It sucked.

179

But you know what would have sucked more?

180

Not being able to have the money to buy the courses

181

and the seminars and the workshops that I was able to attend with the extra

182

that I saved so I could learn my next skills.

183

And so right now, food and shelter is the only thing you spend money on,

184

and you're going to drop everything else.

185

And you're going to drop those expenses to the greatest degree possible.

186

And either your girl is working.

187

If she's working, then you can have child care.

188

If she's not working to take care of the kid,

189

then you need to say,

190

listen, sweetie, like, I got to do this for us right now.

191

And so, like, you're putting your sacrifice in,

192

which is you're sacrificing your career,

193

so you can be with the kid.

194

I need to sacrifice the kid right now

195

so I can have the career so that together as a family we're balanced rather than the individual.

196

So there's two levels of balance I want you to think about.

197

One is the macro, which is like you can be balanced over your lifespan.

198

When you're retired, you'll have more time.

199

You can go to Europe.

200

You can do whatever the other stuff is, right?

201

And also you can be balanced in a family unit.

202

Your wife might spend more time with the kid than she does in her career,

203

but you're gonna spend more time in your career than you do with the kid for now.

204

Cut out the people who are taking your time.

205

Easy way to see this is like,

206

if the people in your life don't have bigger dreams,

207

for you than you do,

208

ignore all of their advice.

209

Let's just ignore them entirely.

210

And I know that that's simple to say and hard to do,

211

but you're in a hard situation.

212

And I think the question is whether you can be harder than your circumstances right now.

213

And you have to be to get out of this.

214

Luck has already dealt you a shit hand.

215

Let's assume he's never gonna give you the right hand.

216

You're never gonna get lucky,

217

but you still need to win.

218

And so now it's like,

219

how do I do that?

220

If you have a car,

221

you can have more flexible hours if you drive through again.

222

That's something that I recommend for a lot of people.

223

If you don't have a car,

224

you need to save up as fast as you can to get one.

225

Buy one in cash, negotiate,

226

try and get yourself, $5,000 to $10,000 car in cash.

227

You don't have payments, you just have the insurance,

228

which because it's a cheap car will be less.

229

The remainder of your time,

230

and you've got to tell your lady this,

231

is like, I'm going to be spending four hours a day,

232

every day, watching these videos,

233

and this isn't me doom scrolling on YouTube.

234

I need you to pick one skill that you want to have and only consume stuff about that.

235

This is my one thing I'll let you buy.

236

It's a timer.

237

You can buy it for five bucks, not your phone.

238

And you set the timer,

239

and you set it for those four hours a day.

240

And every time you look away, you stop the timer.

241

You do four hours of real work of studying the skill after you've done enough of that work and you're like,

242

well, what's enough?

243

20 hours?

244

Like you're like, oh, I could do that soon.

245

Yeah, I know.

246

That's what I'm telling you.

247

You can get out of this fast.

248

You can switch those four hours of you learning the basics of that skill,

249

just spending the rest of your time being the most amazing applicant to new jobs that exists in the world.

250

I didn't say go apply to jobs.

251

I said, be the best candidate that has ever applied.

252

And you're like, I don't have experience.

253

And you can address that.

254

Like what I don't have an experience I will make up foreign hustle.

255

And you prove that by messaging multiple people at every company with a snippet personalized to each of them.

256

You know what other people do?

257

Like they take a half step.

258

They copy and paste the same thing to all four people.

259

And you know what the four people do?

260

Yeah, yeah, he copied and pasted the same message to me.

261

Don't do that. Be personal.

262

Look at the HR recruiter.

263

Look at the head of talent.

264

Look at director of whatever and message each of them on LinkedIn.

265

If you don't have a LinkedIn, go get one.

266

It's free.

267

And when you submit your resume,

268

put a personalized cover letter on it after reading from the website what that business is about.

269

When you read the job description,

270

good job descriptions say what they want the person to do.

271

And say like, I will be able to help do this thing because of these things, right?

272

And especially a lower level role,

273

your resume is not going to matter as much.

274

Don't let anybody around you say that or fool you into that.

275

What will matter, especially for low level roles, is hustle.

276

So every employer wants to see somebody who's going to go out of their way to go above and beyond.

277

And so you demonstrate that you're going to go above and beyond.

278

And guess what's going to happen?

279

You're going to do this for five different places.

280

You're going to write a custom thing.

281

It's going to take you four hours to do the research.

282

Write the custom thing, message 20 people because it's going to be four people at all five places.

283

You know what's going to happen?

284

Nothing.

285

Because you're not lucky.

286

So what are you going to have to do?

287

Got to be undeniable.

288

Do you think if you applied to a thousand places like that over the next six months,

289

you wouldn't get a job?

290

I think you would.

291

Do you think if like after you got off your shift,

292

you drove over and you said,

293

hey, I just want to let you know,

294

not in a creepy way.

295

You say, hey, I just want to let you know,

296

I applied to put my resume,

297

I messaged a couple of you guys.

298

I just want to let you know I'm really excited about the opportunity.

299

Don't want to be overbearing.

300

But if you guys would give me a shot,

301

I promise I will work harder than any other candidate here.

302

And I'd like to show you that I'm demonstrating that by these things.

303

So you're like, I have proof that I'm saying,

304

I'm not just making this up,

305

I have proof that I will work harder.

306

And you know what'll happen?

307

One of them will say,

308

I'll give you a shot.

309

And then when they give you that shot,

310

shove it in everyone's face how hard you work.

311

Not by what you say,

312

but by what you do.

313

Be silent and just kill.

314

Look at what the top guy does and do twice as much as that guy does.

315

Be Kobe for whatever the job is.

316

If you don't know the whole story about Kobe,

317

he did three practices a day while everyone else did one or two because he wanted to get ahead.

318

And in the beginning, he was worse than them.

319

And then he got as good as them.

320

And then he became better than them.

321

And he kept doing three practices a day until eventually no one could catch up.

322

Because if they were doing three practices a day,

323

they would just keep up with his rate of progress.

324

But he got ahead.

325

And so the guy who's number one at whatever that business is probably works better than you.

326

And he works longer than you.

327

And so you can't just match him to get ahead because he'll always be ahead.

328

You've got to match his current effort and then do your I'm going to get ahead of you effort.

329

Like when he clocks out is when your work clocks in.

330

That's when Avante 2.0 clocks in.

331

And the thing is, if you can adopt this,

332

if you can really internalize this, you're going to crush.

333

You're gonna win.

334

You can make luck not a factor.

335

When I had Jacob, my 19 year old, my son, I'm kidding.

336

When I was talking to him,

337

I think he was 16 actually,

338

I was 15 or 16 when I started talking to him about this.

339

Imagine, he has even less reason to get a job than you, alright?

340

Less experience.

341

I gave him three words and he said he still remembers him this day.

342

I said, volume negates luck.

343

If you need to put it,

344

put it on the back of your phone as a reminder to yourself.

345

Because in the beginning, the volume you're gonna do is the timer of you watching the videos

346

and taking the notes and watching the videos,

347

learning the lingo, learning the language so that when you get into an interview,

348

you know what to say.

349

And then reps is gonna be watching mock interviews on YouTube,

350

watching people who are hiring experts talk about the best ways to present.

351

Watch some of Layla's videos about how to interview correctly.

352

You do that stuff, you'll put yourself ahead of other people.

353

Volume.

354

Okay, cool.

355

Now you're like, okay, but I'm not getting interviews.

356

Volume negates luck.

357

Crank the timer.

358

Start doing the reps.

359

One a day, two a day,

360

three a day, four a day,

361

five a day, six a day, 10 a day.

362

Every single day.

363

You're like, wait, that's 40 messages that are personalized and 10 cover letters.

364

Yep, that'll probably take about four hours.

365

And then what do you do tomorrow?

366

Set the timer.

367

You do it again.

368

Next day, set the timer, you do it again.

369

What do you do the next day?

370

You set the timer and you do it a fucking end.

371

And you keep doing it.

372

And on the ones that you really,

373

really like, you drive over there after you get off your shift.

374

You stop by and just say, hey, I'm Avante.

375

I'm really excited about the opportunity.

376

I think I can help.

377

I applied.

378

You got a couple messages from me.

379

I promise I'm not a weirdo.

380

I just did it because I wanted to stick out for the rest of the pile.

381

Because I know you guys I'm sure for an opportunity as good as this,

382

you probably got a lot of people who are interested.

383

I just will promise you that I just want a shot.

384

You say that, they will give you the interview.

385

And if they don't, someone will.

386

And once you do get that job and you work harder than everyone else,

387

you turn the dial, and you don't do it for a week.

388

You don't work harder than everyone else for a week.

389

You don't work harder than for a month.

390

You don't work harder than for six months.

391

You work harder than the top guy for a year, for two years.

392

You're like, well, shit, dude.

393

I'm already like two or three years from now.

394

Yeah.

395

I said it was a season.

396

But on the other side of this season is everything else that you want.

397

And so if I said,

398

Avante, in 36 months, are you willing to give me 36 months to get yourself out of the feeling

399

that you have right now?

400

You're like, I'm sick and tired of being poor.

401

I'm sick of not being able to buy the stuff for my girl that I want.

402

I'm sick of not being able to provide for my kid.

403

I want them to be in a good zip code.

404

I want them to be able to have a good school.

405

I want them to be able to have these things.

406

There's a price tag on that.

407

The question is just whether or not you're willing to pay it.

408

If you're willing to pay it,

409

crank the dial, and volume will negate luck.

410

But you can't rely on luck.

411

You can rely on volume.

412

Because that, I promise you,

413

independent of race, color, socioeconomic background,

414

you're like, wait, some racist socioeconomic backgrounds or how someone appears gives them an advantage.

415

Sure.

416

But if you do it a million times, it's given advantage?

417

Because you only need one, yes.

418

If there's a lesson I can have you etch into your brain is

419

that there's a significant amount of money and opportunity

420

that sits on the other side of being willing to be rejected by a stranger.

421

If you get rejected a thousand times,

422

you are no worse off than you are right now.

423

In fact, you're better.

424

Why?

425

Because you have a thousand times experience.

426

And so you either learn or you win,

427

which means in both cases,

428

by doing, you win by default.

429

I'll give you a little analogy.

430

So let's say you and your buddy are thinking about asking a girl to prom.

431

It'll make sense in a second.

432

And your buddy's like, ah,

433

man, I want to ask Nicole.

434

And you're like, all right,

435

man, why don't you go ask her?

436

It's like, ah, what if she says no?

437

He's like, well then you're in the exact same position you are now,

438

which is you have no prom date.

439

You will also have no prom date.

440

But you'll have experience of asking one girl,

441

what happens when you talk to the next girl?

442

You'll probably be a little less nervous.

443

And you'll probably realize that you'll survive.

444

You will live if you hear a no. And if you ask a hundred girls,

445

do you think one of them will say yes to your prom date?

446

Probably.

447

And in that situation, what are you now?

448

Better off than you were before you asked.

449

The moral of the story there is that you lose nothing from no. You only stand something to gain from yeses.

450

And one yes can change your entire life.

451

And so if you're willing to be rejected and see the rejections as you learning,

452

meaning you win, and see the yeses as you also winning,

453

then you can't lose.

454

And everybody else around you who's poor is going to convince you otherwise.

455

They're going to be like,

456

why are you still doing this?

457

Man, stop bothering those people.

458

Man, you're never going to get the job.

459

Man, you need to readjust your expectations.

460

Set your goals lower.

461

Hey, that stuff's not for us, right?

462

They're going to tell you those things.

463

Because the thing is that you have something that I do not have and that many people won't have.

464

Is that you have a hard fucking beginning.

465

You have a harder and bigger monster to slay,

466

but the bigger the monster,

467

the more epic the hero.

468

And so these are the stories that you're going to someday tell.

469

And these are going to be the sermons that you're going to be able to give to other Avantes in the future.

470

If you can't even muster the willingness to fail for yourself,

471

be willing to fail for your kid,

472

for the story that you're going to tell them,

473

and be willing to fail for the hundred other,

474

a thousand other Avantes that you'll be able to someday tell your story to,

475

so they can get out of their situation.

476

So, I didn't have time to say that,

477

but hopefully I'll give you a couple more minutes that give you a little more context a little more context.

478

I think I can speak confidently for all of Mosey Nation.

479

We're all rooting for you.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?

Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
