gentlemen let's talk it's the trusted as you can tell I took
the leave and finally shaved my head and honestly my confidence is feeling at an
all-time high and facing my biggest insecurity is
honestly the best thing I've done for myself in a while now for me this was
facing my biggest insecurity that's calming over the past few years when I
was 20 unfortunately around my senior year of college I was just finishing up
school actually growing on my hair a little bit ironically enough I was
around the summer time things were getting hot and I was noticing that my
widow's peak was turning more into a widow's island so I decided to ask a few
other people what they thought there like it might be balding I don't know so
I booked an appointment with the dermatologist the next week the
appointment was kind of like two days ago he just kind of looked around and
said yeah I mean it looks like you have alopecia I mean a lot of guys your age
unfortunately do have this condition there's not much you can do there's
three different options one of which was kind of like a snake oil treatment the
other one was you know medical intervention surgery and then the other
was doing medication now some of you might be familiar with this medication
it is called propecia or finasteride as some of you may know it so I did a
little bit of research on finasteride and kind of the side effects how much
what cause because again I was in college at that time and I found out
that through the regular prescription it was gonna be like a few hundred dollars
for just the prescription and I was like no way I can't do that but I found out
through Walmart you can get a generic prescription of finasteride for only
like ten bucks it was ridiculously inexpensive so I actually started taking
over the next two years and actually did grow my hair back so I decided to get
off the medication ones like marry because my wife knew of my
condition she didn't care she loved me anyways thankfully but I decided to go
off the medication there are some side effects and some serious side effects
for some people thankfully for me it was just general fatigue that kind of got to
me my workouts were nice intense my pumps weren't as good I was just
grinding through about a year to working out almost every day but not really
feeling it out really feeling like myself and so I decided to go off the
medication once and for all cold turkey and maybe try a few things
more naturally so shaking my head over the past year or so has been an option
in the back of my mind of what wanted to do for a while and it actually took me
until one of my co-workers kind of poked fun at it because I worked again in a
sales environment where guys made fun of each other all the time where someone
kind of hinted that you know I was balding and even though it was one of
the biggest insecurities and one of your biggest fears when you are balding it
was a big relief for me to know that people actually knew I was balding and
again they didn't really care and the jokes weren't that rough anyways so once
I knew that it was out there and that people knew it was a weight off my back
and I knew that I could genuinely do what I wanted to even though I had the
freedom to do so all along so it took me all the way into this week to actually
take the leap and decide to shave my head again it's summer time so you know
I think the tan bald look doesn't look half bad and and it would actually help
me gonna stay cool during the summer so finally I took the leap I'm so glad I
did is one of the best things I've done all year thus far and so I know if
you're probably watching this video now you're
in the same situation or are the same situation that I'm in right now being on
the fence whether or not you should go ahead and shave your head or try
different options so let me do the day's video of five reasons why you should
shave your head right now if you're on the fence like I was reason number one
why you should go ahead and shave your head right now is because people won't
be as shocked as you think I know that's probably a big concern for you they get
you back your mind oh my gosh my coworkers are gonna freak out my
family's gonna make fun of me but honestly people won't be that shocked
anyways let me tell you a quick story probably ease your mind that people
won't genuinely notice as much as you think I was talking to one of my leasing
agents down below in my apartment complex and I was it was having brunch
this afternoon and she went through an entire conversation of like ten minutes
without even noticing or saying anything about me shaving my head until I think I
brought it up and she said oh that's what you did I was known as something
was different about you the whole time then she proceeded to compliment me on
it so I can say for sure people won't be as shocked as you think and you won't
get made fun of or anything like that in fact we shouldn't even care what
other people think you should do what you want to do and be confident in
yourself as cheesy as it sounds the second reason why you should shave your
head right now is because even if it's a worst-case scenario people make fun of
you or you hate it it'll grow back in a few weeks whatever I make risks in life
from business whatever it may be always think regards that was what would it
take for me to get back to the place now so for you the worst case scenario
would be you shave your head your hand but what would it take for you to get
back to the place right now being completely honest you'd only take just a
few weeks for you to get back to the place that you're on now so why not give
it a chance and see at least if you're gonna like it
the third reason why you should shave your head right now is because it's so
low maintenance just trust me on this guy's seriously essentially having a
fresh cut all the time is fantastic you know how you'll get a haircut and
you'll you'll get it the way you like it and then you finally go man I look so
much better and you thought that just a few hours ago you looked pretty good but
with that new haircut you look even better that's what you feel all the time
once you have a shaved head and you keep it shaved in fact that third reason
leads me to my fourth reason why you should shave your head right now
is that low maintenance turns into dollar signs after a while so let's
think about the savings for a second and if you watch my previous video you know
I'm a numbers guy so let's do the numbers together if you get your hair
cut every two weeks for $35 including the tip that's $70 a month so if I take
that $70 every month to put into a 401k let's assume that the S&P 500 does what
it's always done at 10% I will have gotten six hundred and three thousand
dollars at the age of retirement of sixty-seven and just for saving myself
the money and doing my own hair cut by shaving my head that is a ton of cash
and the fifth and final reason on why you should shave your head right now
from the fence I'll bring it a little bit closer for you guys you will have
your confidence reinvigorated that's actually what led me to go ahead and
take in a leap and shave you my head because I watched other guys who shaved
their head and what they had to say and they just said it over and over again
this led them to a new kind of confidence no longer are you
looking at your hairline or wearing Appel hair that's that I've fallen out
in the shower this gives you freedom to just put yourself out there and give you
a new kind of confidence like you've never really felt before
again I can't explain it and a lot of those other guys can't explain it either
it just happens so give it a shot so again what we've learned today is that
shaking your head is not big of a deal doesn't think it'll make you richer and
hopefully more attractive so go ahead and take the leap let me know how your
experience was and again my name is Julia panes if you have any topics you
want me to cover in business and personal life and whatever it may be
let me know in the comment section below genuinely appreciate that in a
