What happens if you're not successful by 21?
if you're not successful by 21 you are cooked bro did you know that if you're 21 and you don't have a successful business or you don't have a ferrari in your garage you're cooked it actually means that you're a failure you have completely failed you were supposed to invest when you were younger in roughly 2008 in the housing crisis bought a house then flipped it and then when you learned about bitcoin you were supposed to invest in bitcoin and if you didn't do this you're cooked bud you're cooked is how all of us feel. I have a newsflash for you. It takes time, bro. It takes time. Well, they tell us that time is the only thing that we don't get back, right? Famously, I've said that to you guys. But, doesn't mean it doesn't take time. Case in point, I was walking down the street with this older gentleman, successful guy.
Why does success take time?
He was reaching his 60s and he was kind of telling me, well, you get older, your body changes, you can't do things as much. And I asked him, you know, does it really go by that fast? Everyone who's older that I speak to, my grandma, my grandpa, My mom and dad, they're always like, it goes by so fast. Life is so fast. It's so quick. It's like you blink and you're 55, bro.
What do older generations say about time?
And I remember he told me, it's a long life. Life is long. What? Life is long. It takes time. We're so used to seeing the anomalies at the top. They're a millionaire by age 16, by age 18, by age 17, 38. I'm like, hey, what's up? Hello. That's not how most of us, our lives are going to pan out. It's just not. Maybe it will. But guess what? It takes time. It takes time, bro. Getting good at something takes time. So much time. Everything, learning something new, starting something, figuring out what your idea is, it takes time. And I'm not saying to be lazy and be like, oh, whatever, bro, whatever. No, but get on it. Because guess what? The sooner you get on it, whatever it is, the sooner it might come to you. Sounds pretty good. Doesn't sound like a bad deal.
How can we embrace the learning process?
The more you procrastinate on something, I mean, the longer it's going to take. But the sooner you try something, you might actually have something. But it takes time. Which I'm not telling you to grind set. That's not what I'm telling you either. But I'm just saying, like, there's beauty in the process, right? There's so much beauty in the process.
Why is beauty found in the journey?
When you have the lows of doing something, whatever it is, you're training for a marathon, you slip up and you face plant and you scratch your face. That's a moment you remember. And when you finish the marathon and you get the time that you wanted, you remember that moment and you're like, that's why I did this. That's why I did this.
What lessons come from failure?
You want to open an ice cream shop and your first week, nobody pulls up because they don't like your mint chocolate chip flavor. I don't know. But when suddenly an influencer comes in and says, eat this mint chocolate chip ice cream with me. And then you have a line out the door and you're sold out. That's what you do it for.
How can unexpected success change your business?
We can do everything that comes. Das Handwerk.
3,000 action stores in Europe and we celebrate with extremely low prices. For example, our Superfin washbasin pots, 18 pieces, only 2,99. And our Spectrum spray paint for perfect coverage, only 2,33. For even more extremely low prices, visit our stores or check out the app Action. Small prices, great fun. Do it for the love of the progress, the love of trying something. Because it takes time. And if you don't love the time that it takes, that's when you're actually cooked. Not when you're, you know, 22, 23, living with your parents, trying to figure things out. That's not when you're cooked. You have to. There's going to be moments where you're at the rock bottom and you're like, what do I do?
I feel like a loser. Figuring it out. You're figuring it out. You're not a loser. It takes time. Nobody has it figured out. Like, nobody. Some people just think, all right, I'm just going to do it. And they do it sooner than others. That's really what it is. Anything good takes years, bro. It takes years. There are no cheat codes. St. GTA where you can spawn in a fighter jet.
