i failed

hey everyone me kevin here in this video

i need to talk about some failures it is

christmas so i wish you all a merry

christmas and yes that does mean there

is a coupon code that's expiring tonight

look y'all heard this before the price

goes up over time you get lifetime

access you all know i love these

programs what i do every day is try to

contribute and add value to these

especially with our daily live streams

that are almost like mini lectures check

those out by the links down below okay

failures

all right

the first one

i'll do the first one second the first

one's more embarrassing uh the second

one's just stupid so i'll do the second

one first

that's kind of confusing but i don't

really want to edit this video so we're

just gonna go with it okay uh first one

is uh who remembers that uh well i

should show it like this who remembers

this quote that i always say

don't buy a tesla by tesla yeah uh i i

screwed up

i um

i i bought a tesla i

really really really want

a full self driving and you can't get it

in the 2017

tesla until they come out with new

cameras and i'm like i really want to be

on the next frontier of self-driving

technology and i'm like okay i'll get

myself a christmas present

the christmas present arrived a little

bit uh earlier than than christmas time

and i've been like desperately waiting

for

even getting a safety score uh i have to

rant i still don't have my safety score

which is extremely frustrating because

i've driven it

quite a bit and still still but the

deaths look i'll do a broader tesla

video but i had weakness i had weak

hands everyone i failed i had weak hands

i bought a tesla i bought a model s

plaid it's really freaking fun there's

some problems with it and i'll make a

full review video but it's christmas i'm

not going to burden you with all that

right now but no uh and this i think is

a very important lesson uh

sometimes we can be weak

and it's bad uh now uh

there you can always justify it but like

oh you know i want experience i want to

know it for investment purposes and

stuff like that it's weekends like you

buy cars they're butter

i i really don't think cars are good

investment unless you're like a car

collector and you really know what

you're doing and you have like a car

garage and you you make a business out

of this but then it's a business right

but otherwise cars are depreciating

assets i think they're a really bad idea

and generally i just think like if

you're gonna buy the car just buy the

stock instead

which i i have been buying tesla

stock but um

yeah i had weekends that's all i got to

say that's all i gotta say now uh i know

some of you are like but kevin but kevin

you you also have a reservation for a

lucid does this mean you're not gonna

get the lucid

i had weak hands there as well i i

already paid for the lucid so soon i'm

gonna have a model s and a lucid and i

feel like a complete idiot and a

because this is like it's literally just

butter now i'm gonna i'm gonna tell

myself and justify this as oh yeah i'm

gonna be able to compare the two side by

side is uh you know for investment

purposes because tesla's like forty

percent of my portfolio and i gotta know

if you know the first uh fully electric

uh startup competitor a tesla to to

deliver you know more than 500 cars to

the public is going to end up being

lucid i don't think they're going to

reach that this year but how good are

they actually compared to tesla are they

actually going to be able to hold a

candle on tesla

no i i'm also looking forward to rivian

but i think i got to stop buying cars uh

although i do have a pre-order for

arriving and that's that's that's bad

and the maki person keeps calling me

that's also about i got i got to stop i

told you this is a failure video i don't

i honestly don't know why you're

watching it uh

you know maybe you just needed a

reminder about that course coupon now

uh okay uh the the other failure this is

so bad the other failure folks um

well this is like failure 1.5 i really

failed at uh buying enough property this

year i i bought a good this isn't really

the second failure i'm just kind of

delaying getting to the next one because

i don't really want to talk about it but

i'm going to the other failure is i um

i really i wish i bought more larger

property this year i bought multiple

smaller single-family deals and that but

they don't give you as big of a a day

one cost segregation benefit

and i was really looking forward to

having some more tax shelters and so i'm

going to be paying a very very nice tax

but i think aoc and elizabeth warren

will be proud this year and uh honestly

i do not live to make them proud

[Music]

oh well i guess we'll talk about that in

another video uh then um then okay the

the other thing is um

you remember the fitness challenge yeah

i'm i'm a little bit disappointed and i

and something happened

so

i i did this fitness challenge where i

promised over the next like i think i

gave myself about 38 days i would do two

things i would uh run a mile in under

six minutes and i would do 60 push-ups

which we kind of revised from the video

because i had in the video said much

higher but um

i i was really good up until my kabul

vacation and even during my cabo

vacation but when i came back i did

something that was not very smart

and this is this is an excuse i know

it's an excuse but it's an excuse i

noticed that when i posted my fitness

videos i actually lost subscribers like

it seemed like people didn't care about

those which was really weird that was

and that was the first one i posted and

then the second one i posted had the

same problem and then got half as many

views so it was like

it's almost like uh my motivation uh to

to share my fitness challenge totally

got robbed now and i think i'm just like

justifying why you know it's december

it's easy to have a lot of holiday

parties and to eat a lot of food and to

drink and to like wow it never rains in

california but like all of the month of

december it's kind of been raining which

is crazy it's probably good for

california maybe they'll fill up those

darn rivers again but uh this is just an

excuse the reality is i failed uh i

failed okay i i

excuses are stupid i used to run all the

time in florida and it rains every

freaking day in florida so excuses are

bad but this was something that was a

really demotivating for me and so um

what what i'm devising right now is a

because i made a promise that if i

failed the challenge i'd shave my hair

at the end of the year uh and and i want

your uh insights on this but i'm

thinking the only way

it would be fair for me not to shave my

hair uh or maybe i just shave it and

then do a new challenge

is if i had a new challenge that was

even more potentially painful but maybe

more realistic like for example if i

gave myself three or four months what

what should the challenge be if i give

myself three or four months in a fitness

challenge but then then in addition to

shaving my hair because it has to be

worse if i fail the challenge i have to

like

give unless it's the last thing i want

to do i have to like write a check to

graham stefan for 15 000

or if i win i take that fifteen thousand

and divide it to my employees so that

way hopefully like they motivate me and

it becomes this like really competitive

thing where it's like i will not

freaking fail this because i don't wanna

write i don't wanna give gram any money

uh and i think that that'll be uh really

competitive and really fun uh so i kind

of think like if i make the challenge

even more ridiculous uh but then

also do it for like not for like youtube

purposes like go into it with the

mindset of like no this shouldn't just

be like oh you know people would like to

maybe subscribe to this or whatever make

this like a challenge but make it

something that would benefit my

employees if i did it well but also

benefit me and i gave myself like four

months so what what do you think

uh

and and i think the options here would

be

uh screw it you f'd up shave your hair

uh upvote comments if you think that or

uh okay we'll give you like another four

month opportunity but

it has to be a worse challenge now you

have to be i don't know

like an example might be you have to do

the six minutes and you have to have a

six-pack i don't know that'd be crazy

but maybe it's four or five months or

something like that uh

but you got to pay graham

x dollars uh or or whatever right

i think that would be really fun and

something we can embark on

and i think the best way to kind of

commit to providing updates and i want

to see what you think about this in the

comments as well is maybe uh

maybe maybe every time we do a market

open and close live stream i have to

start with a quick little update or

something just to hold myself

accountable because that's something i

definitely did not do it didn't hold

myself accountable i did for like the

first two weeks but that's the easy part

then i let any excuse in the world kind

of get in my way uh it was really hard

to make progress under 39 days and so

now i'm thinking okay this is

i failed i screwed up what can we do now

do we just go okay forget it don't do a

challenge anymore quit you failed shave

your head be done or turn it into a new

challenge so i'm obviously leaning

towards the new challenge idea but i

want to see what you all think anyway i

failed i was very weak and that

you know

i think sometimes it's helpful to just

get our failures out there and uh

acknowledge them anyway a merry

christmas see ya
