Y’all nikkas still listening to Kevin Samuelsth:hhh:

Working all them hours not for everyone. Actually, the shyt is dumb. Personally, I’m not spending my whole life working all them hours like that. shyt take away my peace of mind. That’s how nikkas have heart attacks and be stressed the fukk out. My life gotta be easy going. And I will “work” hella hours if I’m working on my business or a project, but that’s a different type of work energy wise. And a lot of times, most the work is in setting the shyt up and getting it rolling, then you more managing shyt. But that’s what I’m saying though, I need that unbalance. Where I might be going hard on something for a few months straight, then having a period where I’m doing a lot of chilling. Like I have to go to DC in a few months to try and start this business. Might have to move up there for like 3-6 months and get my shyt rolling. Then it would be just managing the shyt and random ass issues once it does.

fukk all that 8 hours a day consistent shyt. That type of shyt will drive me crazy. That’s why I had to leave corporate. First off, I was too real for that shyt. And then, that shyt is too robotic and routine. I need to be free, fukk you talking bout. Then, that shyt limits your money making potential if you really know how to get money. That’s really the issue. Most people don’t know how to get money without applying for a job, so they destined to be working 40 hours to survive and more to thrive.

6 certs 6 figures brehs laughing their asses off at this dumb shyt

My 9 to 5 is a tech job. You should tag some people who are legit IT people and see how many of them that aren't full stack contract devs think the average IT person is making 6 figs in the career field on a 40 hour work week.

It doesn't make you special, just greedy or money hungry.

Depends on how you define special. I want more money and more businesses so I have the ability to empower people in my community through the ability to hire, philanthropy, and a physical example to black youth in my community.

If that's greedy or money hungry I'll take that. I'd call it special because it's something most people in our community won't achieve.

It's kind of required in my field of work but you really get nothing from it, I don't feel any better about myself and i'm not saving a shytload of money or nothing. Definitely making some in-roads I guess but I could do that with 10 less hours a week lmao

no :mjlol: this lead to burnout and depression. :camby:

No bullshyt, I worked at the USPS from 10/17/14 to mid 2021 and did at least 10 hours a day since I started (wasnt forced to, I choose to) and I think Im feeling that shyt (burnout/depression) now. Dont even have the energy to do what Ive been wanting since I was in college. Maybe THAT is just me being lazy/not anting it bad enough? But yea that crazy overtime shyt been there done that.....

Breh KS didn't even say any of that shyt. OP did his usual thing by posting clickbait with a 2 hour video (with no timestamps) knowing no one is going to fact check.

The comments in this thread is alarming

No wonder the Black Community lacks so much Economic Power. There needs to be a huge mindset shift

Work smarter, not harder. Economic exploitation is a real thing. If you going to work 60+ hours, at least be your own individual business.

Kevin comes from my dad's generation and the baby boomers like Kevin believed in this method. But cost is a lot higher than it used to be in his age and era and a lot us just don't have quality beyond 40+ hour options on the table.

Yvette said it best, my parents generation is a lot less tied to slavery than our generation because they grew up in the labor generation. We are in the lineage or inheritance generation. What you received before you really get started is more important than your accomplishments for the most part and that's if you have accomplishments. Obviously, we have some who are anamolies but most don't fall in that category
Careerist baby boomers were the ones who almost drove the world into economic meltdown in 2008 and near certain ecologic and climate collapse in the not so distant future. And they did it all to buy meaningless crap. fukk them and their attitudes :camby:

Mfers act like they can't grind it out for a year.. But don't mind sticking up a breh who's willing to do it and take his..

Any human being with this mentality needs to be destroyed..

The only way to fight white Supremacy and Oppression is Economic Power. You don't fight Oppression with hoping and asking. You fight it with Competition. We are scared to compete and be on equal footing or surpass these CACs

All of the Black Revolutionaries that the Coli pretends to love all talk about Black Economic Power. ALL of them. From Malcolm X, to Marcus Garvey, to Patrice Lumumba, to Booker T Washington

Funny how that topic seems to get left out when these Coli Fake Militants talk about ending Systematic Racism. They like hashtags and Slogans more

So the seed money for that business is just supposed to fall out of the sky?

Business loans aren't exactly easy to get

Even if u get a personal loan you have to show pay stubs indicating your ability to pay the money back

You can't duck work.

I understand the concept and in all honesty alot of us apply it...Even if its waking up during pre hours to buy a stock....Or making other investments and paying attention to. While still working our regular jobs and doing other things for money. Basically just making the most of your time. you Folks who also own your own personal business, and make money on social media, invest, and still work most def work more than 70 hours a week. You just may not view it as work but if it has potential to generate income it's worth it.

I'm not sure how anyone could have an issue with this. The more time and effort you put into something the more you can master it. I doubt any of us just go and punch the clock work and clock out and thats it. I mean you have to add politics and studying for promotions as well. You are likely putting in more time than just your regular 40+
