- All right, welcome back to the channel.
Max Tornow here standing here on a little veranda
of our home office.
In this video I want to talk about
The Key to Becoming Your Own Boss Self Reliance.
And what I'm gonna do is
if you're someone who wants to become your own boss
if you are someone that wants to build their own business
and you haven't started yet
then I'm gonna give you five points that will help you
discover the ideal way of self-reliance.
And I'm gonna tell you right away
the third point will be quite surprising.
So if that sounds good to you, let's get you started.
Have you ever wondered whether there's more to life
than a meaningless dead-end nine to five job?
Have you ever dreamed about breaking free?
You know, traveling the world, making good money
while not having to worry that you could get fired.
My name is Max Tornow and have attained that freedom
and have attained that security.
No more office dress code, no morning commute, no boss.
This channel is for you.
So here's to your freedom.
Point, number one, you do you, that means a big part
of self-reliance is obviously understanding what
you actually want and not trying to force yourself
into societal expectations or trying to make someone proud
maybe trying to make your parents happy
because doing this because everybody else is doing that.
In fact, I remember if you had asked me
what I wanna become when I was 12 or something,
I would have said like, oh, you know
I want to study economics because everybody's doing that.
And literally there was no passion involved.
I didn't even know what it meant, but I'm like
because that's what everybody's doing.
And if you really think about it
how many people on this earth
maybe even people that, you know, maybe even yourself
are doing something because everybody else is doing it.
And that's is that really the life that you wanna live
the life that everybody else is doing, you know?
And I'm not even saying you have to build a business
because that's the ultimate goal or something like that.
Do whatever makes you happy.
If you're happy, being a janitor, that's amazing.
I prefer you being happy as a janitor
than being miserable with a business.
But ultimately, I reckon you wanna build a business
as you're watching this video or this channel, right?
So understand that you do you
which brings it to the second point.
And the second point is you set your priorities
and it kind of goes along with the first point, but look
imagine it's Friday evening, right?
And a bunch of your broke friends are doing what
they always do each Friday they go watch a game, right?
They get drunk and they party, right.
Big part of self-reliance is kind of maturing
out of that and saying, you know what
I'd love to join you guys or girls, but I have other plans.
And your other plans are working on your dream.
In fact, a little personal anecdote.
I literally just gotten a message the other day
by someone who grew up alongside me
he was more of an acquaintance,
I wouldn't call him a friend.
But I knew him pretty well because you know
I come from a 5,000 people Cowtown.
And he kind of said like, Max, you know
since I started following you on Facebook, again
like you've done everything right.
And it's so cool that you're, you know
that you have your business
and you're traveling and stuff like that.
And here I am still in the hometown
and I'm feeling miserable.
And, what I really liked about it is he said, Max,
you've done everything right.
Because usually people say, Max, you're so lucky
but I'm always putting it like this
look because it's usually people who tell me
I was lucky who actually spent their weekends drinking
while I was inside at home working, right?
So connect the dots with that and set priorities.
If you don't wanna hang out
with people that are equally as broke
and you want to become more successful
then you have to stop hanging out with these people, right.
And no you don't have to teach them something
and no you don't have to tell them
that you're better than them.
You shouldn't do that anyways.
It's bad karma.
Otherwise, even if you do,
do it you will just meet them with deaf ears.
But what I'm trying to say is you should set priorities
with your relationships, stop hanging out with toxic people
but also set priorities for your own time.
What are you wasting your time on?
And I'll never forget that.
Even when I started studying at the University of Vienna
I started studying Latin and English actually at first
because I wanted to become a high school teacher
also because that's what everybody's doing.
And I remember like I would get out
of the lecture and I would have the lecture
in my head and I'm like, okay, I'm gonna study this.
I got to go home.
20 minutes I should be at home to go study.
And like, some of the student colleagues would be like,
"Hey we're gonna go to the park and hang out."
And I'm like, "I don't want like, it's a waste of my time.
"I'd rather study and get ahead with my studies."
You know, again, I don't wanna say this in a judgmental tone
or anything but you have to be aware
of where your priorities are.
And you have to be aware of where the priorities
of the people that you hang out with are
and you really wanna make a decision.
Is this really the kind of people
and the kind of activities you wanna spend time with?
That ultimately brings me to the third point
before we get into the third point
if you haven't done so yet go give me a follow
on my Instagram account.
You probably have your phone in your hand right now already.
It's very important for you to follow my Instagram account
because I'm posting on there every single day.
I'm posting value nuggets.
I'm replying to all DMs.
Also follow my other Instagram account
which is the freedom business mentoring Instagram account
which is our beginner program that helps people get
to their first five figures a month.
Go check that out as well.
We're gonna show both here.
We'll be posting value nuggets
and business every day on there.
So I highly recommend you checking that out.
The third point is the following being self-reliant
doesn't mean doing everything on your own.
Being self-reliant doesn't mean
you're supposed to be self-made.
The following point is a very key, please, please
please understand that.
Being self-reliant means knowing what you want
and knowing what kind of people could help you with that.
Because sometimes people have this ego about them, like,
oh I'm doing everything myself.
I'm figuring it all out myself, ergo, you know
I wanna be self-made but ultimately it damages them.
It does more harm than good
because why figuring it out on your own
and making the same mistakes that other people
have already done have already made, right?
Because it's just a waste of your own time and energy.
So being self-reliant means this is my goal
who can help me get there?
What's the fastest, most efficient
and most sustainable way I can follow right?
In order to get to that end result that I want.
So please understand that
if there's one thing that I want you to get away
with from that video to get from that video
is being self-reliant means also knowing
what kind of people can help you with that.
The fourth point is taking responsibility
taking responsibility means first for yourself
and then for your immediate environment.
And then for your extended environment
we often get this, that sometimes people
you know they become our clients
and they're kind of responsible in the beginning
very well for themselves.
But then they kind of start falling into this mindset trap
of like, I'm here, fix me, but we always say like this,
even if you're our client and we really push you
and we're following up with you, it is still your business.
It is still your responsibility to succeed
with that business.
We're here to help you.
We're here to tell you everything you need to do.
We're here to give you feedback.
We're here to keep you accountable
but ultimately we cannot do the work for you, right?
Which is why we always say none of our programs
is a magic pill, right?
Neither the beginning program
nor the advanced program nor anything else
you have to take responsibility.
And that starts in the very beginning already.
Nobody's there to gonna build your business.
Nobody's there that tells you what exactly to do.
Nobody's gonna just come to you like, hey here, stranger
I'm gonna help you go do this.
No, you have to make the decision to take
over responsibility to find out what you want,
to find out what people can help you get there.
And then to execute these steps, right?
Which brings me to the last point that is decision-making.
Being self-reliant also means you're able to take decisions
and not procrastinate forever.
You know how many times we get people
on our call, for example, on a free consulting call.
And they say, you know
I'd love to become your client and so on and so forth.
But then they say, look I've been procrastinating
for so long.
And oftentimes we're thinking, you know
we know when did you think about it at first time
that you wanted to build a business?
And then sometimes they say, oh, you know, two years ago.
And then we compared it with a client
who actually started two years ago
who's making 50, 60, 70K a month already.
This is what procrastination does to you.
It literally costs you money because the opportunity costs.
So being, self-reliant also means being able to
make decisions on the spot saying, this is what I want.
Well, why not starting now?
And trust me, it's the last piece
of advice I'll give you here.
The time's never gonna be perfect.
You're never gonna wake up.
And the birds are chirping and everything is perfect.
No, you're always gonna be busy.
You're always gonna have other things to do.
You have to make a decision and say
I'm gonna do it anyways
even if the time is not perfect.
