this video could change your outlook on business Forever at the end of this video I'm going to ask you what was the one thing that drove me we're going to use myself as an example for the next 30 minutes watch it on 2x it's only 15 minutes but it could change your life the psychology of this one thing that overarches everything I do could take you from sad and depressed and feeling like you're not winning to finally winning and succeed eating and becoming a multi-millionaire a what happened to meet Kevin analysis and we'll end up where we are today so you're caught up with how things have really changed over the last four to 5 years because a lot has changed in fact back in 2016 I didn't even make YouTube videos I basically just made YouTube videos to embed them on my website and I kind of saw them as a way to int ruce myself to potential customers as a real estate broker without them actually having to call me that was less intrusive for them and it was actually really good because when I sat down to meet with a lot of people face to face said hey here's a little about me they're like no we've already watched all the videos on your website we love you where do we sign and I'm like here it wonderful so videos have always been such a wonderful tool for a business and a side hustle and quite frankly if you don't have have a side hustle I really think you ought to have one mostly because as you grow a side hustle you could start expensing things you know writing things off on your taxes that you might not otherwise be able to uh now this video isn't really a tax lesson we talk a lot about that in the courses and there are other videos on YouTube where people talk about this but there's some really cool reasons to have a side hustle uh so if you're ever in sales videos are fantastic especially embedded on your website and not too professional just casual it's just you the camera having a conversation you know it doesn't have to be uh too uh too scripted or or too overproduced but a lot of people have wondered hey you know where where were you then and and where are you now and so what are your intentions uh and what are your goals and otherwise so I know this is a little bit more of a niche video uh and oh I'm not even writing on the board so let's write right here uh let's go into 2020 meet Kevin and let's go to 2024 meet Kevin and let just draw uh some comparisons so we kind of know what has changed and what hasn't changed uh so first of all in 2020 I had two children and now I have seven children so that's been something that's changed uh going into 2020 I had uh two employees I had two employees in construction which were amazing I basically basically felt like the vast majority of my business outside of construction and real estate was just me so I basically felt really sort of if it's going to get done I got to get it done outside obviously of the construction and this is really just a way of filling in those trades that are missing when you're doing renovations on real estate right going back before 2020 remember I came from a real estate uh profession so as a real estate broker I not only bought and sold homes for people but I also invested in real estate I thought if I was going to sell people real estate the best thing I could do is invest in real estate to prove that I think it's a good investment and that Still Remains to be true so uh two children uh two employees mostly in construction and basically a uh business that used to be real estate sales and in about 2018 you people always wonder like oh YouTube that made you millions of I I became a multi-millionaire before YouTube okay and I don't even like talking about it but before YouTube so uh but I did transition to basically doing YouTube uh fulltime because it did pay more than real estate sales which makes sense if you're making $500,000 doing one thing and $5 million doing another thing why would you spend any time doing the 500k thing just an example so two children two employees YouTube full-time and then uh I would call my side hustle uh real estate investing uh and that was about it uh that was sort of meet Kevin and then of course I had sort of a lot of ideas and my goal was always just to present myself as somebody who doesn't have all the answers but as somebody who's working hard to always find the best path forward and find the truth I'm a big fan of finding the the middle ground the uh unbiased approach to what's what's a great way we can all find the best path forward right to find Solutions I don't really like politics I Do cover it when it affects Finance on the channel but generally a lot of my uh YouTube channel is focused on finance so it's stocks it's real estate it's investing it's debating what the best path forward might be big fan of that I think that's useful for everyone again that doesn't mean everybody has to agree with everything that I say so we've gone from this in 2020 to something a little bit more than that uh so I I think I've actually lost count at this point but we're probably somewhere around 13 or 14 uh employees now I guess I should have probably done a count before I made the video but we're we just hired somebody else so I'm not sure if that brings us to 13 or to 14 but anyway uh so about 13 or 14 employees between the various different businesses uh and entities that are going on so we've definitely bumped up an employees YouTube uh is no longer full-time for me I consider it part-time it's sort of the thing that I do first thing in the morning although sometimes when there's breaking news throughout the day I like to go live but I really like to do my YouTube work between 4:45 to about 10:00 a.m.
and that's still pretty good that's still about a 5H hour day on YouTube and then of course there are times when I'm filming at other parts of the day and oftentimes this is every single day so it still works out probably to 35 hours to 40 hours a week uh for YouTube so uh that's something to consider but it does give me this freedom to where after say 10:00 a.m.
I focus on other things that we have going on so now instead of having a side hustle of investing in real estate we've got uh two startups which we'll sort of reset this page here and we'll go through this in a moment and so rather than having ideas and focusing on a side hustle we're actually starting and and running two different businesses which is pretty cool so uh really we've we've kind of evolved from this 2020 of it's mostly just Kevin to hey there are a lot of great hardworking people working together on on a mission that we all believe in I think I really believe that if people didn't believe in the mission of of what a company is doing they wouldn't be there it doesn't make sense to stay at a company where where where you don't really believe in the long-term vision of the company so what what what are these startups and do they even matter and what do they say uh to you well first of all to you I think one of the big things we should be thinking of is you know we we don't want to be like 80 and kind of like in the end game going ah you know what I had a lot of in my life I had a lot of ideas you know it was just a few days I was at this point a couple weeks ago a few weeks ago I visited my dad he uh had a hip replacement surgery and then he uh had to go into like this Recovery Center for a couple it was like 11 days and so I visited him there and boy I'll tell you that is that place is very very depressing if you want motivation go to one of those recovery centers where it's mostly you know people probably 70 plus and that's very motivating if uh you know when you look at that facility and you think this is an area with people who have all the experience in the world and probably endless ideas unfortunately their capacity uh is is you know dwindling uh to be able to execute on some of those ideas so that's that's very depressing but then also very encouraging and motivating because it certainly makes me think I don't want to be endgame and think well oh I remember that idea I had and I I want to say I remember what I did uh to try to fulfill those ideas and see uh before we get into the the different things that are going on for me one of the reasons I always encourage people to do a side hustle is because if you have this main source of income and then you're doing a side hustle well what you have is you have a safety net if your side hustle fails you can always go back to your main source of income this could be being a cop it could be being a teacher it could be uh you know there's nothing wrong with the W2 job in fact for the vast majority of people I encourage it because what does a W2 enable you to do it lets you invest in real estate uh much easier than if you're self-employed uh it lets you uh take advantage of of uh a steady income and and an ability to plan for your future well at the same time you could still put money into a side Hustle but if the side hustle fails at least you have something to fall back on now the nice thing about a side hustle is it also gives you writeoffs so some of the things in your life like your phone bill the office in your home some of your car some of your other expenses that are necessary and ordinary for potentially both your W2 job and your side hustle might become tax writeoffs that's great because now you could save money uh this is of course a conversation for you to have you with your CPA uh this is not a tutorial for your taxes uh but the point is this is a great way to fall back until of course your side hustle exceeds the income of your main hustle and at that point you could decide does my side hustle become my main hustle and that's great that's a fantastic position to transition into uh but we don't know that side hustles ever will in fact most side hustles probably won't they they just probably won't and that's okay uh but at least there's a chance and what do it let you do it lets you take idea and execute because there's a chance and you again don't want to be in that facility when you're 80 going man if only I had tried that to me is the scariest thing ever like I I want to know I played the game to its fullest every chance I had to do something to buy a property on that Monopoly board or or to to you know experiment with with a strategy or something that I thought would better the world uh and and bettering the world is also obviously associated with with business success money right but that's exciting to me see to me you have to also think of what's your end goal right A lot of people look at the end goal and and this is okay there's nothing wrong with that they say well I I want passive income I want to be able to make you know a th000 bucks a day doing absolutely nothing and that's fine that's fantastic that's great for a lot of people I go crazy when I'm not doing anything and mostly I like and life is very much like this uh but these sort of LOLs uh they could either be lows or low points like where you get setbacks in your life so this could be you know you get setback you make a mistake you lose money or you just mentally feel like burned out or depressed it's usually in these moments that soon you could get really excited as long as you keep pushing yourself eventually you'll get excited again and then it's really easy to build on the whole and you get excited about something and your goal is that this swigle actually ends up trending up so as you go through these phases you're going through an uptrend of success in your life and of course it's never going to be a straight line uh if it is you're probably U probably not taking as much risk as as maybe U otherwise you could uh that could potentially minimize your downside but could also minimize your upside anyway so the goal for me is not the dollar sign and I know that's easier to say if you've already got dollar signs but a dollar sign to me really doesn't get you uh what ultimately you want which ultimately we don't want the dollar sign the dollar sign is just a a an ability uh to do something else so that would be an ability to be free every day you wake up like what do I want to do today you know what I feel motivated to do something okay so money isn't the end goal that freedom is the end goal or maybe uh experiences are your end goal that's great maybe it's uh a house because that will make you feel good because you know let's call it a house with a view right uh you you like looking at the ocean and having a a coffee in the morning uh with this ocean view you great that's that's an idea as well uh maybe money will get you more time because you're uh able to I don't know buy your own plane or or whatever it might be so money is generally not the end goal usually the end goal is some result like Freedom experiences a house that you want or time uh and so for me money never became or was the end goal mostly because you learn this when you study Aristotle uh money is just a means to an end therefore because it's a means to an end it is not an end it is not a good in itself so now what I think is really cool is that once you've made sort of a base level of money whether that's from your W2 or your first startup or or your first side hustle or whatever you actually get to work and that might sound crazy but to me it's actually freeing for example this morning I woke up and said you know what I'm really motivated to make an Easter video I'm so excited to share this sort of mentality that I have uh about goals and and and life or success or whatever because ultimately I think the best life is a life of both failure and success because if you only have success well then quite frankly don't even bother trying because you're just always going to win it's kind of like if you're born to like a billionaire it probably makes it somewhat hard to fail you know what I mean uh and that somewhat feels depressing I don't know what that's like I wasn't born to a millionaire you know we we're basically bankrupt as a child uh and so H being able to switch from failure to success not knowing when that's going to happen makes it exciting that's what makes very life very exciting and then of course ideally you have more success than you have failure but see what I like to do is have the freedom to say you know what today I get to work on this project whether that's you know the YouTube business it's side hustle one it's side Hustle too and get really motivated on that and then sort of context switch between them to me that is so exciting because I have these little irons in the fire that uh grow and we have a wonderful team that helps work on growing these so I go and work really hard and then I work on the next thing really hard and everything's kind of growing together and slowly that's really fun it's actually somewhat like children I see all of these as sort of my little babies uh because again I have seven children uh you know five of them being under 5 months old yeah there's there's a long story around that uh made a little oopsie let's just say but anyway so we've got uh all these babies here they have sort of the freedom to choose between these but that doesn't mean you can't have experience see for example yesterday we uh for one of the startups we'll I'll explain the house uh the various different startups in a moment but for example yesterday we were in Sonoma uh then we were just North of San Francisco Isco uh looking at uh another city then we were in Palo Alto uh and then we were in San Diego and La Hoya and so we started the day at about 10: and I got back around home at about 9: but in between this not only were we able to get a lot of work done uh various different types of work so I was able to spend time with the kids and create some YouTube content in the morning uh and then of course spend time with the kids or sorry spend time with the kids in the morning work during the day you could still have fun see at the end of the day it's about 7:30 we're like hey and before we hop on the plane again let's go check out the local amenities and have a drink for all the hard work that we did in the day so you can have fun experiences while also having the freedom to choose what you want to do I didn't have to uh fly to all these destinations yesterday didn't have to work but dollar sign isn't the goal the goal is experiences and the freedom to choose I got to do this because I wanted to and that's very motivating to me okay so uh enough of that that uh that that to me is very very exciting uh and don't get me wrong nice cars and nice houses and things like that of course Nice Clothing or what all that stuff is cool but generally it's what those things enable you to do the experiences the people you get to spend time with that is most exciting so a lot of people now wonder okay so what what is me Kevin you always talk about all these startups it seems like there's there's so much going on it's hard to keep track of uh and that's okay that's why I wanted to make this video in part because there is a lot going on so let's break it down and sort of just go what what is meet Kevin so if we go uh meet Kevin what we really have is a few things uh number one we already know this yes you're watching it here we have YouTube my favorite platform I love this I love sharing my ideas on my live streams we do our uh called the stock Market open live stream every morning at 5:45 when the market is open that's on the market live stream channel so it's not on the main Channel sometimes I'm live there so make sure you subscribe there uh then of course we do the stock market open live stream in the mornings uh sorry the course member uh open live stream and uh that's usually at 6457 and that's for course members which today is Easter so we do have a uh coupon code link down below expiring Easter and then uh we have a few other things so then we have house hack and house hack is having a baby so we'll get to talk about this baby house hacks baby is uh called House hack homes which is really exciting and uh this video is probably not going to be long enough uh we won't have enough time to go through all that in detail but I'll I'll try in just a moment uh then we have a couple other babies over here though I'm going to sort of just Loop them together under this name even though this isn't the only name there are a couple entities here it's just easier to explain as one uh you have stock hack and this is what I'm getting all of my licenses for it's really stock hack and suac but that doesn't so much matter right now and so what you have is you have these three businesses you have uh YouTube then you have house hack and house hack is having a baby and then you have stock hack which you could say it's having a baby as well so briefly what are these well this uh let's just say I I have this long-term vision of creating and this sounds crazy and and we're not fundraising for this at all but I'm just going to go for the crazy argument I think with the company that we're building here uh we're going to be able to create the new Robin Hood sorry Vlad if you're watching I'm coming for it and I I I love that I think he's a good guy uh but uh I think there are Innovations left in finance some really really excited about this and uh so I'm funding this right now it's very exciting then of course we have uh the Youtube channel which you know about and then we have house hack so house hack the easy way to think about these is house hack is a business that basically tries to stabilize real estate by taking wedge deals and turning them into stable real estate so I'll give you an example we find a foreclosure a short sale a moldy house for 4 $50,000 we spent $50,000 on renovating it it's worth $600,000 okay how can we realize the $100,000 difference all house hack wants is the $100,000 that's what house Haack wants because if we could do that in the span of two months we can make way more money doing those sort of Cycles than we can just holding it forever and waiting for appreciation or rental cash flow right so house hack's goal is give me the 100K we want the difference between you know the Arbitrage basically of what we paid what we spent to fix it and what it's worth okay then there's the baby house hack homes and this is basically just a vehicle for people to invest in the actual appreciation of these properties uh and the cash flow the cash flow so yeah house Haack is having a baby and uh again there are a lot of complexities with exactly how this works but the the very simple way to think of is is here's a baby that wants to find good deals and repeat the renovation cycl take the money in the meantime ideally every 5 600k you put in you get 100K out so if you had a box and it's like we put 5 or 600k in we get 100K out we can do that over and over and over again what are we actually doing well a we're making a lot of money and this sort of company hasn't existed before so so we think the valuation of this company could be huge uh in long term which we're very excited about no gu guarantees we are in a fundraise uh at house act.com 2024 so I have to be careful about what I say Obviously any investment comes with risk read the PPM not a solicitation blah blah blah okay so that's that's my opinion now house hack homes is really unique because most people who want to invest in real estate with sort of a fund or a syndication or a real estate investment trust or whatever they have to pay a crop load of fees uh and these are acquisition fees disposition fees construction fees renovation fees loan fees Fe Asset Management fees it's insane and so what we want to do is create zero Fee real estate and ideally we want to be able to list that on a stock exchange so so you can kind of just swipe up and then you get cash flow and appreciation with no fees you want to sell go like it's a free market do whatever you want that's really the goal here so how does this relate to freedom and ideas and being able to do what you want well see I believe that there something very interesting about failure I think if your motivation is money then you'll always be sad whereas if your motivation is an idea and you fail you actually become happy because it makes it harder for your competitors to catch up with you and it guides you in the right path so of course out of a successful idea you sort of just poop money which is great like money is a byproduct of of a successful business whereas if your goal is money then you're always sad every time you lose you get a parking ticket you're sad you know you you you have a doctor bill that you didn't want to have to pay you get sad Every Little Bill you get you just get sad when the reality is if if you focus on we are executing on something greater than this dollar then it makes me very excited and a lot of people wonder like Hey Kevin well like how how could you possibly have fun with all these different ideas that you have that seems like a lot of work it is don't get me wrong but let's consider some of the fun things that we've been able to do so we that's because of YouTube right we were on CNBC we got profiled by the LA Times the New York Times although they didn't like us very much uh we've got uh uh you know to go to New York City and be on Fox Business got to go uh to a debate stage in Sacramento and debate other candidates and be part of polling like it was really cool it's an eye-opening experience it's really fun so the governor campaign was amazing it was it was spectacular and that was because of YouTube or even just interviewing people whether it's Patrick B David Kevin o Barbara corkran having a birthday brunch with Kathy Wood uh in in Florida and then that same day uh having a uh a birthday dinner with my wife Lauren like that's cool those experiences would not be be possible if it weren't for going all in right now part of that obviously has to do with the fact that I bought a plane it's very expensive it was $12.9 million and what's crazy about the plane uh a lot of folks might not recognize this but that's okay the plane is expensive to operate right so you're looking at 129 plus about $2.5 million a year to operate a plane what's remarkable is that you could have spent like $7 million on an old plane and gotten a plane that was like like five times as large but then your operating costs would have been like five a year and so it kind of depends on your mission profile what you're going for my mission profile is closer to the West Coast so I don't need as much range I like a little more fuel economy lower operating cost and I also like newer now I I'm not the biggest fan of like like buying brand new cars because they appreciate more quickly in value but I do like newer safety technology just because it it's a plane okay anyway like I wouldn't have a plane I wouldn't have flown in it over 400 hours last year if I didn't have a purpose for it it's like oh you want to go retire and sip a my taii I could do that now I could do that now while operating the businesses now I could just have a my taii in any City I want the same day and still be home in my own bed at night which is really cool uh anyway so uh Governor campaign uh the interviews the plane ringing the bell at the New York Stock Exchange creating the the startups uh that we're creating and building a team the team building it's so much less lonely like it's it's fun having a team of of fantastic people working with us uh this is very exciting now uh I want to be clear that uh for house hack house hack just sort of a disclaimer yes it is fundraising right now house hack.com 2024 uh you could invest in that if you're an accredited investor it is in my opinion I think going to be phenomenal company once we really cycle what we're doing I think the valuation will be huge just because the cash flows will be huge for the company I obviously can't guarantee that this isn't a solicitation and all of that could be wrong uh house hack homes the little baby that it's creating you know hopefully in the future we'll be able to swipe up hopefully in the future we'll be able to bring you these products from the stock hack suit hack idea and those are future ideas that I could look forward to so the other thing that I have on top of this which mind you I pay for the plane personally right other things for you to keep in mind as we look forward is uh I I have a lot of excitement uh about the future see I'm not depressed about the future I'm actually excited about the future because I want to see my Robin Hood competitor win and even if it doesn't that's okay nobody else has invested in it that's my money right I want to see house Haack not only succeed but I want to see it become the greatest uh stabilization company in in the world we can go International with this I not only want to see housec succeed though uh if house Haack succeeds it probably is also going to be in part because house Haack homes is succeeding uh the baby of house Haack these two uh subsist off of each other essentially this is great people get to invest here as a venture capitalists and creating a business people get to invest here for having no fee exposure to real estate this is huge these are really really big Ideas so all of these things to me are very very exciting a lot of them really come to fruition towards the end of 24 so I have a very very exciting year ahead we're just now knocking on the door of uh April 1st this is being filmed here March 31st uh we do have an event coming up as well which will be really fun that's the June 21 to 23 event you should come to that uh Ben Mala will be there it'll be mostly real estate Focus but we'll be talking Innovation Finance real estate investing it'll be a really really cool event in Vegas we're about to announce the location for that so stay tuned uh but the point of of all of this is yeah you could just retire and and give up and be done but if you retire and give up and be done what you're really doing is you're just giving yourself the freedom to uh have my ties spend time with the kids uh you know maybe travel and do what you want do what you want all right that's sort of what you get if you retire but the reality is I still get to do that I travel way more now that we're operating all these different businesses and I kind of need the time machine to the plane to be able to do it uh I could still spend time with my children although five of them again they're under 5 months old so there's a limit to how much time you can really spend with them so I spend more time with the eight and six-year-old uh mostly because they're sleeping all the most of the time the the under five-month olds and so I still get to pick and do what I want I just have more choice so a lot of people in uh 2022 for example in January of 2022 like oh Kevin you know why don't you just you know you you did good like why don't you just stop it's like why that's not that's not fun why would I stop like we got a moving train here uh oh but if you keep going you might hit some hurdles so so what so what if there are bumps or rocks in the road I don't care Oh but you might lose money making mistakes so again the end goal isn't the dollar sign if the end goal is quite and this is the other thing this is sort of a place to end it on if the end goal is this uh my taii uh is it spelled like that or is a tii it might be tii because it's more Hawaiian anyway my tie ER Beach time Freedom you know if that's sort of the end goal well you could literally try your heart out on everything go BK and after you go BK Live Well beneath your means have a regular job maybe you're working 30 hours a week if you're living well beneath your means and you could still be hanging out on the beach with plenty of time and plenty of freedom and plenty of my ti like all of that is still possible post BK but it's also possible pre BK and you might never go BK in fact you could end up creating something substantially more desirable uh and freeing uh than just this so I don't know hopefully that's motivating for you it is for me a lot of people have been asking me to make a video like this so I did here it is thanks so much good luck goodbye so now we're at the end of the video what was the one thing now it may not have been entirely clear because we really went through a weave a th a sort of like Patchwork of many different forms of psychology the purpose of your employees the purpose of your company the believing in what you're doing the Innovation the changing your mindset on the fear of failure what was the one thing that ties all of this together that is your employees purpose changing how you feel about failure accepting that even if all fails in the event of let's say a horrible BK really your true end goal that everybody really wants sipping those my Ties on the beach can be had then or now but what you want to recoil against and we'll write bankruptcy versus that uh dare I say home that Rehabilitation facility full of unexecuted ideas so ideas versus action there's one thing that ties all of the concepts of this video together everything comes down to one thing and that one thing very simple when you change the end goal from money to action you will stop letting failure affect you purpose will Define your action you'll know what to do you'll stop letting that stupid bill or that invoice or that broken Tire or broken down car or fix up that you have to do in the house or that land lord who scammed you or whatever you'll stop letting those pains hurt you and instead you'll focus on that long-term future you are acting on your ideas your Visions your potential you have the freedom to choose what you want to do yeah even if you've got a W2 job you've got 40 hours a week that you spend on that W2 job how many hours do you have in a week after you sleep somewhere between 110 and 120 hours depending on how much you sleep you've got a lot of extra time what are you doing with that time and when you're driven by action and not money you will fill this with the most purpose filling life ever whether that is a a life of experience a fun of of trial of error of success and failure it is one that is driven by action not money if you're driven by money you will almost always fail if you're driven by action and actually fulfilling your ideas and your vision and what you want to do you will live the most free life ever
