It's like, hell no, I don't want your money because that guy's going to call me 472 times about why he's not doing the work right. And I think that people rush to invest in something because they think that they can do a thing. But they should first look internally and see what could be best for me, like my personality type, my risk tolerance.

And then what of those things do I think I would enjoy? Like I always tell people, before you make any investment in yourself or decide on any business venture, you should always think and ask five questions. The most important one is what do you do every day to someone who already does it?

And the reason is if you ask somebody what they do every day and you don't want to commit to that lifestyle, for example, if I said I make $10 million a year and I run a call center, I don't. But if I did and you said, oh, I want to travel the world and work remotely, that would be a bad fit. That's a non-starter.

Now you might say, well, I would grind away to make $10 million a year and then go do that. But the odds of you succeeding as much as the person that's teaching people is not very high. So I would say that's a mismatch. Now, if somebody told you, here's how you can make a million dollars a year traveling the world,

and it was real and you saw people doing it and you knew people that had done it, that might be a good fit because it aligns with what you want. And I think a lot of people don't do good enough vetting of what they really want and what they think they'll actually be good at.

Man, so I've never forced anybody that works with me for me to donate. I personally donate more to individual causes than I do to big charities a lot of the time because it takes a lot of due diligence to know that a charity is a good charity. Like, I know a lot of the work that you do is very good. Like, I've done the toy drive that you did, the world record-holding toy drive.

Came there, brought some toys. That was awesome. Super fun to watch. That was really cool. Great experience. Strongly recommend everybody does it. But... I was on the advisory board of a nonprofit that puts homeless people in houses. And I got to learn a lot about homeless people, why and how they become homeless, that some of them actually become accustomed to it.

It's almost like Stockholm syndrome and like it and think we're crazy for having homes, jobs, responsibilities, bills, et cetera. But I think you should always do something that you believe in. And as someone who briefly lived in my car, it's like, all right, I was one step away from that. What would have gotten me there? For me, it was a failed business.

For some people, it's a divorce or it's drugs. So that really resonated with me. Like these people just need somebody to help them, whether it was donating clothes or, you know, renting rehab beds at, you know, sober living facilities and putting them into those. There were a lot of really cool things. We did a lot of community events, a lot of speaking events, and that was really nice.

But people should always find a charity they believe in. and do the research to make sure that they're doing good things with the money. Because just donating to Goodwill and saying that you did charity, it's BS. Like when I first made my first million dollars, I had a lot of credit card points. I had like 1.8 million at the time. Later I had almost 15, but at the time I had 1.8 million.
