Story time: I cold DMâed someone on Instagram asking to collab. This person is a very successful entrepreneur, living in a $20M house and 10+ supercars - I say that not to make it sound vain, but this person truly has set up a life of financial success.
Within a few minutes of sending the message he responded. I responded back, and he asked for me to give him a call. I called him, and we agreed on a deal and a day for the collab.
What took most people 2-3 days to do, took about 15 minutes.
The best entrepreneurs move with speed - and I know youâve heard this multiple times already but I really wanted to talk about how and why they do everything in life with speed.
This is a phenomenon I think about a lot. I interact with a wide range of people, and I usually try to spot the differences in how people are versus their âsuccessâ.
Usually, the 3 main factors are:
Curiosity
Speed
Action
Yeah there are a bunch of factors too (like risk-taking) but these ones are universally present.
Curiosity in new things, speed in everything they do, and of course actually doing things instead of just saying youâll do it.
The most broke people in life are really, really slow at things. They feel like they have all the time in the world, and thereâs little to no urgency in their actions.
Successful people value their time, and value other peoplesâ time. Thatâs why they move really quickly, and with lightning precision.
Itâd be unfair for me to say that speed and financial success are caused by one another, but they are certainly correlated. And of course, not every successful person moves with speed either.
Exceptions always exist, but the correlation is very clear.
You also have to realize that not every broke person moves slowly. Some broke people donât have a broke mindset and are on track to be successful - these people move fast. But also, I can almost guarantee you that someone who has been broke for many many years, probably is slow.
If youâre reading this, I encourage you to go about life with this mindset. Be fast not just at the things you say, but at the things you do. There is a huge difference, and when you know that the most successful people in the world are moving with speed, that should make you want to move with speed too.

Ok guys I'm really excited to announce the launch of my new channel - My First Website. I love building websites and this channel is going to be dedicated to free tutorials and guides teaching you about website building.
Wordpress is TOUGH! And there are tons of alternatives that are way easier to learn. That's why I'm pretty bullish on website builders, and this channel will thoroughly cover them.
We have 35 videos already but will be posting a ton of new content in 2024 - would appreciate your support! Give us a subscribe to stay up to date on tutorials, new deals, and everything you need to know about building websites :)
Websites are a significant part of how I make money. So my goal is to teach you to do the same!

The 90,000 point offer for the Chase Ink Business Unlimited Credit Card is ending at 9AM EST on 1/18/24!! This is a last call offer - and if you're trying to get a comparison of the best business credit cards, check out the video below. Crazy high signup bonus for this card - you should be able to get about $3-5k worth of travel when redeemed correctly. The points I got from this card are what I used to fly business class to and from Asia a few months ago, for free.
Tl;dr, 90k bonus for the ink business unlimited card is ending in about 1 week so this is the last chance to get it. It's my most used business credit card. Highly recommend it.

I worked out this deal directly with TikTok so it's not available to the public. Might as well get the free ad credits now - you can use them within 30 days. I have a feeling this deal is probably going to expire in the next week.
And here's a video I made walking you guys through it:

Happy Black Friday season!! This deal is too good to not post - Hostinger is having a massive sale on their website hosting so if you have been thinking about building a website, jump on this now!!
www.hostinger.com/charliechang
^Build a website with Hostinger for $2.49/month (use code CHARLIECHANG for an even bigger exclusive discount):
This is the best deal I've ever seen. I recommend either the premium or business plan for most. And the longer plan you get, the longer you lock in this crazy price.
It allows you to build up to 100 different websites with 1 plan, and for beginners I recommend using their built-in website builder instead of WordPress because you can literally build a website in about 10 minutes with it.
But yeah, everyone needs a website! I started building websites when I was around 10 years old (have built probably ~30 websites to date) and it's encouraged me to document my hobbies, travel, and build more businesses. You can build a resume website, portfolio, blog, side hustle website, literally anything. The more websites you build, the richer you get đ¤
And if you want a tutorial on how to actually build the website using their platform, watch this video: https://youtu.be/mvP671QbnC4
Have a wonderful day and keep crushing it!
