I saw something on Twitter the other day and it was about Timescales Of Success.
And it was saying that Morgan Freeman didn't get his first acting job till he was 50, or there's a guy who's a millionaire at 20 but dies at 30, and there's a guy who becomes a millionaire at 40 but dies at 80, and all this bullshit.
It basically comes out and says you work to your own timescale, you're not under any pressure. And I sat there and I thought “Well, that's bullshit”. That's some fucking make-yourself feel better with your shit life garbage.
Because we all have one timescale, and that timescale is the human timescale. None of you are going to leave it that long. We're all going to be dead in about 70 to 80 years. So you do have a timescale, and you do have a time limit.
On top of that, life when you're young is a completely different experience to life when you're old. Having $5 million when you're young is much better than having billions when you're 70. What the fuck are you going to do with money when you're old? Your dick doesn't work. You're tired. You don't want to go places. You're decrepit. You're slow. There's nothing left to do at that age unless you're a G like Trump. You can become President, piss everyone off, like a fucking hero.
But in general, when you're older, your life quality seriously decreases massively. So it's not even 80 years of time you have to be successful. You have half of that to be successful. You're not smart enough to try and start something when you're 15 or whatever, unless you’re like that little fuck on YouTube I’ve seen making 22 mill a year.
So you have about 10 to 15, maybe 20 years to find a way to get rich and enjoy being rich. And you’ve got to put it all together and do it quick. It ain’t fucking easy.
So when I see these success timescales… That's complete bullshit and it's absolutely not true. I don't think any of you people should be living in a fucking dream. I don't think living in a dream is going to help you in any way. I think you need to be sitting here panicking at the fact that you don't have enough money. You need to be concerned and worried and sad, and you need to do something about it today.
Because that's how I started my first business that made me a million dollars: I sat in my room pissed-off, and I came up with an idea. Because there's none of this ”I’ll being successful when I'm older" bullshit. One day you are going to die. Or if you're very lucky, you're going to be successful by the time you're too old to enjoy.
When I drive my Lamborghini, the reason everyone stares is because there's a young man in the Lamborghini. If I had grey hair, no one would give a fuck. Oh, it took 65 years and you can afford a car… As opposed to who the fuck is young stallion? Who's this G pushing this car? What the fuck is he doing?
And that's how you need to live your life.
