Hey everybody, Casey Zander here. And in today's video, I'm going to be talking to you specifically
about the mistakes you do not want to make in your 20s. And I actually condensed this down into 12345
mistakes that I see men make time and time again. And these are some of the mistakes that luckily I
didn't make. And it served me very well for not making them. Now one of the things that I want you
to constantly remember in your head, as I speak to you today, is I want you to remember this, okay?
If you do what 99% of people do, you're going to get 99% of people's results. And most people
don't have any results in life at all. Just keep that in mind these things if you can avoid them.
And if you can do you know, if you can actually focus in on these things that I tell you to do,
this is going to pay you dividends for years and years to come. And this is going to generate
a massive ROI in your life. So with that said, let's dive in. The very first mistake that I see
guys make time and time again, is going to college or moving cities, to date and to party.
Okay, I want you just to think about this. And if you if you're watching this channel,
and you're anywhere from 16 to like 18 years old, and you're seriously considering going to
college. And a big motivating factor for you to that is like joining a fraternity and like getting
really like hammered and, and trying to sleep with a bunch of like chicks and all that stuff.
I want to break this down for you. Because I almost made this mistake. When I was moving to
Arizona when I was about 20. I told myself, I wanted to go there for business college,
my dad freaked out. And if he would not have freaked out to the level that he did,
I probably would have actually led with my emotion and my desires at that age and not
woken up. And here's what I can tell you the millions of dollars in sales that I have generated
today in my personal brand. Okay, I would have not been able to do had I taken on all of that debt.
And did that. It was massively impactful. The end like the level of like, I mean, he was screaming
bad. Okay, so he needed me to wake up. And I'm gonna explain it I'm gonna explain this. So if
you're 1618 right now you're watching this and you're thinking I want to go to college, I want to
join a frat I want to go party, I want to do all these things. Here's how you got to remember, you
are taking on a crap ton of debt. Like seriously, most guys, most people, most guys or girls, they
don't know, seriously, they don't know what like 50 to $100,000 in student loan debt actually means
people don't know how to generate that amount of cash. And people don't understand the severe
baggage you have to drag with you for the rest of your life. And I'm gonna let you in on a
little secret, it's set up for you to drag around that baggage on purpose. Okay? If you do that,
you will massively pay the punishment for probably the next 10 to 20 years financially. That's number
one, when you think about this logistically, but here's what I want to tell you. Location doesn't
make it easier. Oftentimes, people will think, Oh, if I leave my hometown, I'll find my dream girl,
if I leave my hometown, I'll have abundance, and I'll be able to generate a rotation of options.
It just doesn't work that way. If you struggle attracting people where you currently live, make
no mistake, you will struggle attracting people, when you move cities and you move locations.
What I was about to do was moved to Arizona, which was ASU a big party town and I did live there for
over a year. And that's when I started my first brand CZ fitness. But had my dad not have been
so intense about that about me not doing it because my dad's a businessman by trade to
him not hammering that into me how absolutely stupid it was because he
knew the real reason I was going he's like you, you can make a business here,
right? You know, you can grow a business here. You can do these things here.
You don't need to go blow all that money with these professors who don't have a business in
the first place and you think that you're going to you're going to be successful like that. Come
on. Now. He knew exactly why. And probably every father does know why to some degree.
And I think that's what good parenting stems down to is you got to know when to drop the hammer.
You got to know when to be soft. Okay, there's a fine balance. So that's just number one. Okay,
I know I rambled on that for four to five minutes here, but it's super important that one thing
in your 20s if you do that, the juice ain't worth the squeeze j and if you look at the
weight people put on during college if you look at the health, like people don't look very good after
their freshman year they put on 2030 pounds from drinking. It's just it's just the truth. That's
number one. Okay, number two. The second mistake to not make in your 20s is not understanding that
you are serviceable. Okay, what does that mean? serviceable, serviceable means that you're able
serviceable means that you're full of energy serviceable means that You're full of ambition,
and you're full of grit. And I'm gonna let you in on a little secret for those of you who are
entrepreneurial driven or for those of you who want to make millions of dollars, the best way to
do it is by understanding that you're serviceable in your 20s. And that to be serviceable,
typically doesn't take any overhead. Hmm, think about that for a second. People think, Oh, I can't
build a business because I'll need hundreds of 1000s or millions of dollars in start up product.
Absolutely false. My first year in business, when I did CZ fitness, I was selling workout programs,
okay. And those workout programs that I was selling, there was no cost of overhead. I paid
$200 A year from my website, and I had my product page and they would check out and then I would
make their plans. And because I was serviceable. I was servicing them. It was a service type
business. Same thing, let's let's use this at a more basic level. Let's say you're 13 years old,
okay, and you want to you want to make money in a business, all you have to do is buy a shovel
that that shovel that costs you $50 at Menards or Home Depot, that that $50 shovel, you can now
use for 1000s of dollars worth of business. Okay, you buy it once you're serviceable,
since you're serviceable, because you're young, you can make money, okay? Guys in their 20s door,
understand that they're serviceable, okay, and especially this applies to business, I'm going
to tell you this, as you get older, it's harder to keep going. And it's harder to have motivation.
And it's harder to keep diving deeper. So I'll give you an example. Right now at 26. And I wrote
this down on my paper right now at 26. I have far less energy, I'd hit at 2021. Like far less.
It's harder to just keep keep driving so hard. And it's harder to just keep going. And it's
harder to keep taking on all that stress. And that's why like, when you get older,
like Thank God I've I've done the work in my youth to develop skills, understand sales, understand
business understand how to get ahead, because the fact is like, since I don't have as much energy,
I need that wisdom. So I can still make power plays and make moves
in my own life and in business and with anything, and I don't have to work so hard.
So like, when I was younger to generate an amount of money, it took so much man hours and grit. Now
since I understand stuff, and that comes with age and comes with wisdom, I can do it quicker at a
much easier pace. But it's because I've done the work in my youth, okay, when you're young,
you have energy, okay? use that energy to a squat, acquire skills. So that way when you're older and
you don't have energy, what you do have is wisdom, okay, and wisdom lasts a lifetime, even with age,
I really want to make that a clear point in your 20s you're serviceable,
which means do service to people and you'll get paid for it. That's really the meat and beans
are meat and potatoes of it. Number three, not learning how to get your fitness under control. So
what I can tell you is like, this might sound arrogant, but it's the fact and I have tons of
pictures to prove it. Like I've had a six pack every year for the past seven years every day
of my life since I was 19. Well, how do I how do I have a six pack? It's it's not because like,
the training was anything insane, or like the diets anything insane. Like yesterday,
I was eating like some fruit snacks and even ice cream before bed. But it's because I understand
nutrition and understand how calories work with my body. And because of that I got my fitness under
control at a young age. And at a young age that fitness has lasted me a lifetime, because I know
what to do. People who don't get their fitness under control in their 20s, you're gonna see
they start to put on weight in college, they don't know how to get the weight off in their later 20s.
They put on even more weight in their 30s. And then they're dealing with high blood pressure,
high cholesterol, diabetes, things of that nature. I mean, that's just the cold hard fact. So getting
your fitness under control, to begin with, like making that a priority. And not doing what society
tells you as a priority. You're gonna hear that priorities is like go to college, then you got
to get a job, then you got to serve your family. It's like no, like you got to look at actually
what matters in life. The first is your health if you don't have your health under control.
Like you don't have anything, it's very hard to generate wealth or find a good relationship or
anything like that if you're sick and if you're unattractive, the way you feel and all of that.
So like make sure your fitness is under control. Make sure you learn how to structure gym activity,
make sure you learn how to actually do these things to change your body composition.
I can't stress that enough that that one thing alone probably is more important to where I
got in business today than probably anything because a strong mind carries a strong body and
a strong body carries a strong mind. There's really no way around that one. Number four,
ignoring social development, okay? People ignore social development when they're so focused
on work and they're so focused on their purpose and you're going to hear this
from a lot of people you're going to hear people tell you like you know,
in your 20s All you got to do is put your head down and work five times harder than anybody You
don't have it you you don't deserve to go out and party ever. Because you haven't made anything of
yourself yet. You're gonna hear stuff like that. Okay? I think that that's BS. And here's why.
If you ignore social development, and I see this, even guys, like I have this program, it's called
10 game, right, you can click the link and check it out below. But like I even have guys in 10
game where I teach them like how to grow YouTube channel, I teach them how to actually get leads,
I teach them how to sell a product, I teach them how to do all these things without any overhead
and without any startup money. So that way, they can be on track to six and seven figure years.
Without acquiring a lot of costs. I teach this, I see guys all the time. They're so focused
on their purpose. They're so work driven, but they're hardened. And it affects their
sales, it affects how they show up on camera, it affects their friendships, and because of that,
they actually make less money in the long run. The years that I spent developing my social skills,
once again paid me dividends for years to come. Because those friendships, I made the ability
to interact the ability to speak fluently, like notice something right now I'm going on 11 and
a half minutes on camera, I haven't started once my editor doesn't have to do any editing, okay.
And fluidly speaking, I can read I can write, I can speak fluidly. This is a skill, like I can't
stress it enough, you have to develop that because that's what confidence is. Being able to speak and
being able to do things appropriately. If you ignore your social development, dude, it's gonna
hinder your friendships, it's going to hinder the amount of money you make. And it's going to hinder
how you actually think, because here's the fact those of you who want to crush it in business,
business is about people. It's not about making money. Okay, let that sink in for a second,
the more you can understand people, the more you can actually understand how to make more money.
Like it goes hand in hand, people are people and the whole world is made off of people. So like,
if you ignore that social development, you won't have the skills. So there was even a guy who was
doing a session with a couple months ago and he was like, Man, I'm struggling in sales or I'm, I'm
struggling right now. I don't know what to do. I'm like, dude, when's the last time you
went out? And I can tell you just like hard. And he's like, Well, I really don't ever, I'm like,
there's your problem. Like, go do something. So that's number four. Ignoring social social
development is one of the biggest mistakes in your 20s. And the fifth biggest mistake
that you will make in your 20s or that most people make is not learning how to promote.
Let this sink in. Why did I save this for last because this is so important. me learning how to
promote when I was in my 20s it built the backbone of who I am today, like seriously. And it started
literally with just like promoting house parties and promoting shop parties. This is like really
the side of me that you guys have probably never seen. And it's also why I've done so great at like
promoting head man or making like the movement of men and revitalizing masculinity is because like,
learning how to promote like, here's the stuff I do when I was younger, my 20s I'd organize a
gathering, like I'd have a spot I'd have either house party or I'd have a shops day and I'd say
hey, we're all meat. This is what we're gonna do. This is the address, this is where it's at,
bring this where this if you don't wear this, you can't get in, right setting the frame,
right? Understanding frame control that kind of stuff. Okay, everyone's like, Oh,
okay. Then you reach out to four or five friends and they're your promoters. So now you're up top,
top of the hierarchy. You have five people below. They're responsible for distribution and
outreach. Okay, distribution outreach they send to all their followers they send to their list.
Pretty soon you get all these people that are like, hey,
Casey's party is here. Are you going? Yes. And it's just bam, bam, bam, bam.
And not only did it like raise so much social status at the point, it was so easy to like,
date and attract people because like, you're the leader of the interaction, but like,
seriously, like that promotion, stuff like that translated so easy into when I built CZ fitness.
You know, right out of the gate, though. My first year I made like 65k and overhead the second year
like 85k it just kept going from there. And then I transitioned into what I do today, but like
it was so funny because same thing, hey, you know, join my Facebook group. I'm gonna help
you out and fitness, read this blog, promote, promote, promote, you know,
even when you're dating a girl like you got to promote yourself you got you got to promote like,
who you are and what you're about. And I think that that's just so crucial.
And guys ignore these things. So the back of napkin stack of things to do not to do like
they're going to be these are going to be unconventional to you're probably not
going to watch a whole lot of YouTube channels and find that out. You know, but not saying
that's for everybody. But those are the mistakes that I see people making in my personal beliefs.
And those things on that napkin made me who I am today. If you'd like this video,
