Hit the gym by yourself.Travel by yourself.Go grab dinner by yourself. Some people r scared of their own shadow and can’t do anything unless they’re with someone. Valuable skill to be alone and able to talk to random people without having friends there as a parachute.

If you sit around and let life pass you by, it will. Years go by fast af. Feels like Jan 2020 was yesterday when we started kc, then 4.5 years goes by in the blink of an eye. If you don’t start doing something with ur life today, it won’t magically happen tomorrow or next year.

If you’re feeling burnt out or in a rut. Go have a big ass night out with close friends. I’m talking 10-15+ vodka sodas. Stay up till 5am. Your hangover the next 2 days will make you more motivated than ever to get back in gym, back to work, and on the straighten arrow 🫡.

It’s your job as a man to have hobbies. Skiing.Surfing.Biking.Motocross.Fishing.Hunting.Boating.Jiujitsu.Muay Thai.Golfing.Mountain biking. Without hobbies what are you gona do, teach your kid to watch Netflix or movies??. This is the problem with our modern world.

The goal is to live life on your own terms. Wake up no alarm clock.Travel when you want.Build businesses w your friends.Fill up your pockets with cash.Train when gyms are empty.Do hobbies mid week.No boss telling you want to do. Remember you can’t get time back.

You can push way harder than you think. When ur 8 hours in and that little voice is saying to stop….go on a run, hit the gym, sauna, bike, whatever ur thing is….then come back and you have at least another 4-6 hours. Only one holding u back from reaching ur potential, is you.

I’d bet money that if u genuinely pickup 1 of these hobbies, your life will improve:. - boxing.- Jiu jitsu.- surfing.- snowboarding.- skiiing.- mountain biking.- off roading.- golfing. Imo u want to pick something that gets u out of house & disconnected from social media vortex.

From 22-35 is your chance to setup yourself in life and make it. Try everything and see what sticks. Build the discipline and foundation in your 20’s so you can ride momentum in your 30’s and make the big bread. Don’t want to spend your 30’s broke, playing catch up.

If I was broke right now, I wouldn’t retreat and live at parents. I would forge a paycheck and rent a decent place that’s $1,200-$2,000 a month. Apply pressure & force myself to figure it out. See too many young people lose job or whatever, retreat to mommy’s and never recover.

If you follow these 5 key marketing principles:. 1. Tell a story .2. Pose a problem.3. State the solution.4. Show social proof .5. Have a call to action. You will have an unfair advantage over other marketers.

Yo if ur cash flow is not good, don’t get caught in trending diet / exercise stuff. All focus should be on cash for 2023. Health can take a seat on bench. Stims 24/7 & smelly hoodie grind mode. gym 3x a week do these each time: bench, deadlift, squat. Adjust when $$$$ improves.

Honestly think this is the easiest time in human history to get rich. Tik tok has destroyed younger generations brain. They have no concept of hard work. I’ve hired a good amount of younger kids at the brand, that we let go because of entitlement & 0 work ethic.

This what a REAL e-comm operation looks like. Funny all fake “builders” can never show u their operation….hmm🤔. No fake screenshots.No $2k supercar lease. $3mm of inventory. Scaling a real 8 figure business. Been transparent w/ growth since day 1…link in bio if u wana build

One of the harder parts of hitting your late 20’s and early 30’s is not giving into “grow up” culture. Everyone telling you that you need to be a serious adult lmao. Fuk all that. The types preaching this are just pissed they made bad decisions in life and try to bring you down.

From 7 orders a day in jan 2020 to doing thousands of orders a day…. 3.5 years later. Brand gona do $30mm this year in revenue with profit of $8mm-$9mm…split 2 ways. Could probably sell at 5-10x multiple of profit rn. Not a BILLY yet, but not bad for a few years of grinding

Such a big difference mentally when you’re around people who think crazy ideas are possible vs pessimistic dark cloud of negativity type people. If someone else can get crazy rich and be wildly successful…so can you. Life’s too short not to have big dreams.

Can tell if someone is broke by how fast / slow they move. Interact in business or everyday life with people that are broke and everything takes way longer and is way more complicated than it needs to be. No respect for your time or theirs or anyone around them. Speed >.

Having hobbies that give you adrenaline and going on mini benders with homies keep demons at bay. a lot of people grind for 4-6 months but get so bored with the same daily work->gym routine …. eventually implode and erase progress. Mitigate with mini benders + hobbies.

I don’t think a lot of u understand how close death is. If you’re 25, you’re 1/4 done with your life (best case scenario). Why not start that biz?.Quit that shitty ass job?.Ask out that hot pawg?. Make some moves. This shit isn’t forever. Run it all the way the fuk up.

When you’re a young G on the come up, there’s no shame in driving a beater car or kinda living in squalor so u can heavily reinvest into your mission. Putting profits back in your business, or in more education for your career….pays huge dividends down the road. Long game.

You can start a 7, 8, 9 figure brand off a 5 day chad stimmy bender. End of 2019 we worked for 5 days straight…. no gym, no distractions, didn’t really sleep, glued to computer, uber eats lunch / dinner and chad rammed KC launch. 5 days of focus to change your path forever.

Faster u make your first $100k and do something stupid with it. Better off u will be. Buy a car, gamble it, blow it on drugs / partying….whatever your thing is. Do it asap. Once you do it you’ll stop idolizing money, hit a low….and you’ll be forced to re craft a real mission.

637
A lot of young G’s move in with a bird in their late 20’s and it throws off their trajectory. Constant nookie kills drive…. they become complacent. Next thing u know they’re growing a mustache & posting photos at brunch. Never trade your mission for a bird my brothers in Christ.

Lift weights, train martial arts, surf, ski, golf, run, mountain bike, fishing, Moto, etc. Ur brain needs outdoors / hobbies if you’re gona be behind computer screen’s building all day. Ying and Yang…. guaranteed more longevity in the game living this way. Fuk ur “comfort zone”.

I’m not trying to get rich to flash sick designer “swag” lol. I spend my cash to live separate from masses. - houses in low profile areas.- not deal with commuter traffic.- workout mid day.- ski / surf / snowboard mid week.- travel during offseason. Dubai types don’t get it.

I started my first e-comm brand 6 years ago in my parents garage. I never thought this “idea" would generate MILLIONS in sales, hundreds of thousands of customers, employ people, & be globally recognized. I made a ton of mistakes. Hopefully this helps you avoid some . ~THREAD~

get some cash and design your life so you bounce around between a few of your favorite spots. Having full setups at each spot with computers and ur own bed, way better than going on vacations. - chase good weather.- never fall behind on work.- keep momentum. 10/10 recommend.

majority of you are about 6 months of real focus away from changing ur lives forever. Yet most of u will still choose to believe in the illusion that you’re in an inescapable hole . Don’t fall for the trap.

The MASSES are pathetic, WHY is DRINKING your answer to EVERYTHING?. * get a promotion - drink.* lose your job - drink.* TGIF - drink.* feeling sad - drink.* want to be more social - drink.* 3-day weekend - drink.* taco Tuesday - drink.* sally gets engaged - drink.

If I had my back against the wall I wouldn’t do 75 hard or any “programs”. I’d cut boozing to only Fridays. Cook all meals from home minimize time away from computer. Saturday - Thursday all you do is work and gym. nothing else. Smelly hoodie grind mode. Back on ur feet quick.

Being able to “play dumb” is an important skill to develop and one of the best ways to get a real read on someone. If you know a topic really well, sit back….let people talk. Play into their nonsense. Having this card to play… you know who’s lying to kick it. Invaluable.

Losers love crypto cause there’s a pipe dream they can become millionaires by doing 0 work. Yap all day in discord channels thinking they’re a quant trader. Shows you the mentality of most people. They want the money at the finish line, but don’t want to do any of the work.

I try going to gym first thing in morning either weights or mma and if I workout hard enough…motivation and focus is terrible all day. Think perfect time is 2-3pm after you’ve done deep work and use gym as a break to kinda re set so u can work again into the night.

Take 6 months off partying and get your shit together. Trust me, scene won’t change. Your friends will all still be going to same bars. FOMO gets the best of most people and they aren’t able to mentally handle no social life for a few months. Short term vs long term. Up to you.

I’m starting to realize that “ bed early up at 5am” is one of the biggest scams sold to masses. Sell idiots on idea that billionaires all get up at 5am. Makes sure masses are always on time to cage and never out late being misfits living life. Ultimate control.

tools to start a 7 figure brand are right in-front of your face. iPhone, computer, Shopify, Alibaba and ur right there. KC is an 8 figure brand and we still get all our suppliers off Alibaba. Here’s a few tips to help you with alibaba:

595
If you’re in your 20’s don’t let other people’s “pressure” make you do stuff in life that you don’t want to do. Family, friends, gf / bf, none of it is worth living a life you’re not happy with. Best feeling is doing what you want to do, and being unapologetic about it. Few.

If you sit in traffic for a few hours doing literally nothing it’s crazy how drained and out of energy you feel after. Important to live close to where you work. 10-20 minutes. Driving in traffic is so bad for your mental well being. Limiting your potential sitting in it 100%.

Throw a $20 and pack of ciggys to the bum on the corner tonight. Tip the waiter / waitress 50%. Hand the kids $20 at the lemonade stand and tell ‘em to keep hustling. Sounds cheesy as fuk, but making someone’s day from a gesture this small is good for your soul.

A few Chad business principles:. 1. No investors (bootstrap) = freedom. 2. Build a business that stands for something. 3. Do it for the game. Not fame. 4. # of employees is not a flex. 5. Ruthlessly control front facing marketing and branding. Never outsource this to agencies.

Go to airport and see how much of an ordeal most people make of traveling. Reciting itinerary’s to their group, pacing to board / get off plane, freaking out to put carry ons away. Average people can’t handle anything. 0 surprise why most people aren’t able to make real money.

I don’t build brands to head bobble in my box seats at sports games. Or have meetings at soho house and sip a mix drink with my pinky up. I build so I can go skiing and snowboard mid week with no crowds. Lift mid day when gym is empty. Remember freedom is goal. Not head bobble.

SALES SUCCESS comes down to 1 thing: following up. * 80% of sales are made on the 5th to 12th contact. * 10% of sales are made on the 4th contact. * 8% of sales are made on the 2nd & 3rd contact. * 2% of sales are made on 1st contact. Now stop being f$$$$$$ lazy.

YOUNG hustlers some of you need to hear this:. You’re doing just fine. If you’re working hard on your own company and nothing is coming from it, stay at it. You’re already ahead of the pack. This shit is a journey. You have an incredible future ahead of you.

If you wana do big things with your life, you’re gona have to fight thru the closest people in your life telling you over and over again….that your ideas or mission are dumb and won’t work. Part of the game.

When u start making a little money buy your first boat before your first Rolex imo. Rolex is a good store of value blah blah blah…a day on the lake driving a boat that your hard work payed for shows your brain that the hard work is worth it. Way better feedback loop imo.

As a man in your 20s-30s u can settle down with sweet p or say fuk it and chase ur dreams. if you have momentum in a business, career, or athletics…double down. When the bird calls u a narcissist for picking ur goals over her and dumps you, who cares. Your dreams always first.
11

515
Irrational self belief can take you pretty fucking far. People will call you crazy, who cares. I used to think manifesting was fake and kinda ghey….but it’s real. Trust me. Believe in yourself and visualize how you’re gona win, and you will. No one’s going to do it for you.

Avoid people who have money but are the split check penny pincher scarcity mentality types. I didn’t work my ass off to split checks with people and get sent Venmo’s. I’ll grab a dinner or round of golf and expect at some point a friend will do the same. Shits not that hard.

average people live life with 0 speed or urgency. It’s always “this is my year”…nothing happens. “I’m gona start a business”….crickets. “Gona get those 6 pack abs and lose 20lbs”….never see progress. Entire life is this made up delusion of grandeur and they believe it. sad.
10
52
504
If you’re dead broke down dumps…….it’s not too stressful to get back on ur feet. Immediately get wknd job at bar. Need a poppin spot.…put down other nice bars as reference, and a friends phone number for reference “manager”. There’s $500 a night, 2x / week. Move #2: sales job.

All the shit you’re stressing about rn probably won’t matter in 2-3 yrs . Weird how life plays out…. feel like something is a life or death situation . few years go by, u don’t even think about it anymore . Start treating irrelevant shit as irrelevant shit NOW, rather than later.
5
48
495
You can escape whatever misery you’re in literally whenever u want. Miserable job - quit and figure something better out. Deadbeat bf / gf - end it and find a better replacement. The gates of hell are locked from the inside . The mystical guru you are looking for, is you.

491
The rich mfs I’ve met that are miserable, are always the trust fund types . Self made guys that are worth 8-9 figures have taken such a beating over the years… the weird insecurity about money and the ego is gone. Getting rich on your own humbles you like mother fucker.
11
31
491
Started kill crew to show the homies how to run it all the way up. Fuk your limiting beliefs, and fuk the haters that say you “can’t do it” . Build a high quality product.Build a strong emotional connection.Don’t take short cuts. if we can build a 8 figure brand, so can you my G.
13
12
497
Imo point of working your ass off is to take your money and spend it on making ur quality of life better. Saving ur money cause u wana drive a Honda civic and think ur warren buffet ain’t it. Houses in multiple nice locations, boats, country clubs, snowmobiles, private gyms, etc.
11
39
486
Gym is pretty good for dealing with stress…but mma/Jits is goated. If you go spar stand up for 25 minutes or roll live for 30-50 minutes all that inner dialog is completely gone. No coincidence guys like brother zucks are hooked on it. Highly recommend.

477
People who move with a sense of urgency and kick dents into opportunity always win in the long run. Really good opportunities usually present themselves after you’ve jumped head first into a few not so good opportunities. Stay in the trenches. And stay on the gas pedal.

~BRAND UPDATE~. - KC is 3 years, 8 months old and we’re about to hit $45mm in total revenue. - AOV just under $100. - profit margin ~30%. - order fulfillment 100% in house. - no outside agencies for content / social. - we don’t pay big influencers. And still $0 of outside funding
35

478
If you start a business or personal brand and commit to working on it for 2 years. Be hard to not have a completely different life by month 24. Most people do something new for 3 or 4 months….then throw in the towel. Takes a bit to build momentum. Can’t quit too soon.

480
You need to be a bit delusional to be successful. People gona look at you like you’re crazy when u tell them what ur goals are….thats how you know you’re on the right path. World is filled with zombies.No life in their eyes.Defeated by mediocrity. World is built by “mad” minds.

Building out a fantasy factory type setup with full gym, sauna, ice bath, boxing ring, etc. Been the goal for a few years but we kept running out of space. Finally have a 60k sqft warehouse for only fulfillment and 20k sqft warehouse for gym / content. Gona be fuking sick.

If you’re around winners, they don’t complain…it’s a different mentality when there’s issues in life. They find a solution and move forward. People that complain are usually mediocre. Your problems in life aren’t unique, someone has solved similar issues before and so can you.

KC launched in Jan 2020. initial inventory order was only $5k deposit to start. - taken $0 outside funding.- reinvest all profits to self fund growth.- never used a marketing agency.- profitable since day 1. 2023 we’ll do $30mm…$0 to $8 figs that fast is low key kinda goated

Living life spontaneously is so underrated. Planning vacations 4-6 months is a huge L…. vacation rolls around it feels like a chore. Spontaneous trip….you’re forced to try to maximize everyday cause nothing pre planned. No itinerary, just let it rip and live In the moment.

Young hustlers:. If your parents run a FAMILY business that’s passed down generationally . Go work for them. They have so much knowledge and biz connects. You have no idea. Then leverage that and start your own business. Golden Opportunity.

Fools hit $25k a month…compare their results to losers from their hometown and think they’re a god. Wrong mentality. Compare yourself to the dudes doing $2.5mm months. 100x bigger. Not near your potential at 5 figure months. Compare yourself to losers…and you’ll stay one.

Don’t underestimate the power of feeling like you have to prove everyone wrong . Family, friends, and gf wanting you to play it safe and have “realistic”goals should piss you the fuk off . You got 1 chance at life.Prove every mother fuker wrong that doubts you. Lights a fire.

Best thing u can do at rock bottom is laugh. Make a joke out of it, then keep it pushing. Can be put in almost any situation and make it out if u don’t take life too seriously. Most people treat everything like life or death. Nobody making it out of this game alive.

1 week of focus - you could easily start a ecomm brand. DoorDash food and don’t leave your house for 7 days. Trajectory changed forever. 1. Figure out what niches you want to test / ur a part of.2. Use canva & upwork for mock ups and logos.3. Buy domains.4. $39 Shopify plan.
5
11
451
Building a $1mm revenue ecomm biz is more attainable now, than it ever has been for anyone with a little work ethic. - $30-$40 AOV.- 90-100 orders / day.- Shopify plug + play theme.- learn ads. Can run this solo + 2 overseass vas pretty easily & ship orders from garage 2x a week.

I was out at a dive bar few nights ago. Was getting a drink, look over, and a dude’s rocking a oversized kc shirt….I was all “yo that shirt’s sick, what brand is that?”. He goes on to tell me all about kc mission and how much he loves the brand. Sick af to hear this feedback.

Funny people think $300k w2 salary is life changing money. - w2 means about half taken from taxes.- $5-6k a month in rent or mortgage .- $4k all in living expenses.- $1,000 car pmt + ins. Save a few thousand a year+ take ur IRA and be happy 😃 . Better off building on your own.

433
Having a sik physique is cool, but in reality unless you’re making cash from sponsorships or content, spending 20+ hours a week in a gym is a low iq move. 45min to 1 hour is enough for weights to be a tool to stay physically / mentally strong. Train for life.Don’t live to train.

99% of people overthink / over analyze everything. They never just SEND IT. I landed a $156,000 wholesale deal using a "hotmail" email account. The company is 1 of the largest festival production company in the world. I didn't have a legit website yet. Here is the email:.

Here’s a few “secrets to success”. 1. Decide what u want in life. Then go all in. (Most never go all in and won’t get past this step). 2. Research other people that have done what you want to do.- reverse engineer how they did it.- watch their podcasts, read their books, etc. 1/.

All the big boys that build generational wealth, have a cash flowing biz then roll profits into real estate. Remember this is the game. Less focus on watches and woofing…more focus on cash flow and making smart investment plays. Buy sick property with views and waterfront.

I can’t fuking stand people trying to sell me something & ask to do a zoom. Send an email I can read mother fuker. if you work in sales…u can crush everyone if you skip doing zoom discovery calls. No zoom. Send email, then text and move fast. Zoom types pissing me off.

Look… most guys / girls “die” in their mid 20’s checking boxes for friends / family. Fuk that. Live life on your own terms. Don’t need to make parents/ friends happy by being like “everyone else”. Live a different life. Do whatever the fun you’re gona look back and be proud of.

Life feels so good when you cut out negative people. Sucks when it’s close family, but so important. Sounds ghey but I swear some people are possessed or cursed by bad spirits or something. Be around positive people that have irrational belief that anything is possible.

When ur building a business for the long haul, it’s tempting to get a little jealous of the people lining their pockets with quick cash. Just remember, in 5 years that quick cash will dry up for those people and you’ll be miles ahead of them. long game always wins. Trust.

Life’s to short to feel sorry for yourself and mope around like a bitch. I see old friends in my hometown during holidays just absolutely wasting away in life. Bummer to see. Take a chance on something. Move to a different country. Sitting around waiting to die ain’t it.

Trust me friends u see running around on IG all over the world “finding themselves”. Are digging a grave and are miserable. I run into old friends when I’m in Newport Beach…. after a few drinks they’re almost always in full tears. Telling me how they fuked their life up.

Healthiest way to live life imo is cycles of boozing then cycles of isolation . Party one weekend, mountains the next weekend. Need isolation to get deep work done and need to be social so u don’t go mad. Key is not let either side take over your life. Duality of man.

DEAR MISFITS,. - do the work, results + money at the finish line is worth it.- overnight success is a myth.- cut out people who don’t want u to win.- learn Facebook ads.- learn how to source / manufacture products.- learn how to manage people.- more profit fixes problems. Next ⬇️.
