It's hard to buy into this guy completely. But watch this video anyways. Don't stop it after two minutes and be like "whatever, he doesn't know me." Watch the whole damn thing because truth be told, he hits the nail on the head. If you're not willing to sacrifice for it, then you don't really want it...Or you just want something else a little more.

It's not about getting rich. It's about having the drive within yourself to make a change in your life. If nothing else, he bring a lot of passion to the table, which is a good start for anybody.

This guy is a d-bag Burt. In fact, he is such a d-bag that he is made fun of by the entire internet:

He may be a douche bag, but that doesn't discount what he has to say in this blurb. The fact is that a ton of people have big dreams but no follow up (me included), so what he says about shutting up and putting your nose to the grindstone is spot on.

Yes, we all have had jobs that sucked. But if you want to get out, then you have to spend every other waking moment trying to do that.

I don't think everyone can be rich, but everyone can make a change in their life. However, if you want to make that change, you have to work your ass off to get it. You have to put yourself out there 24/7 - 7/52.

If you're not willing to do that, then maybe you don't want to make a change as bad as you may think.

So yes, he may be a douche bag, and he may be full of shit when it comes to getting rich on the internet. But the fundamental statement he's making is true. Everyone has the right to aspire to be better, but realizing those aspirations has to be earned.
