05:00Full Transcript
[00:03] saw that due to lack of money, your mother was taking out her jewellery and your father, wearing the same worn out shoes, was waiting at the gate for those jewellery and all this just so that you could have two meals a day. Now if you belong to a middle
[00:17] class or lower middle class family then you must have seen this happening somewhere and if you want to live a rich and peaceful life then this video is for you. Look, I myself belong to a middle class family and
[00:31] I know what struggles and situations are and what impact they have on your thought process. But if you have seen this video till here then I say with confidence that you should watch this video till the end because the clarity you will get from this video,
[00:45] you will hardly get from any other video on the entire YouTube. How you can get out of middle class life through this video. How you can make money in 2026 without a fancy degree. Now I am going to answer all these questions in this video
[00:59] not going to tell you any short term money scheme rather I am going to tell you how you will train your mind to answer all these questions yourself. Look, from a middle class family, this is what we are taught in childhood that we should study hard. Complete CA
[01:14] and then do a job or if you are not CA then prepare for CAT so that you can get a good job. If this is not possible then you are sent to study abroad by taking a loan so that you can earn money by doing a job there and in the end you can also pay money to your home. Now wait a second and
[01:29] look at the people around you in your family who chose any one of these three paths and see where they have actually reached till date after working so hard. I am damn sure that out of all the people around you who are stuck in jobs, 90% of them are just
[01:45] somehow surviving in the race of middle class from which they have not been able to escape till date. So if you still think that you can become rich by doing a job, then you are only 10% right. Because there are only 10% people who are exceptionally well and
[01:59] secure their place in that top 1% and 90% people are where they started from. And first of all, remove this option from your mind that you are just waiting for the degree and then you will earn money or you are waiting for the exam to pass and then you will earn money or you can get
[02:14] job experience and then you will earn money. Ask yourself today how can I become rich and how can I solve all the problems of my life. See, as soon as you stop waiting, you will instantly start seeing some ways. Yes, you will have to
[02:29] work hard. But a rough idea will start coming to your mind. देखो चाहता तो मैं भी तुम्हें चार पांच तरीके बता सकता था। But you will have to do the hard work yourself and you will have to figure it out yourself. No one came and
[02:41] told me what to do. I got the figure out myself, I worked hard myself, I faced the pushes and figure out myself, I worked hard myself, I faced the pushes and stumbles myself and whatever I am today, wherever I am, it is because of that hard work, because of those stumbles. And look, do
[02:53] n't make any big plans to start. For example, suppose you go to college, then start giving tuition in your free time along with college. Freelancing makeup artist, AI automation service and thousands of such services are there which you
[03:09] understand the importance of your hard earned money, how much hard work it actually takes to earn each penny and this is where your actual journey starts. After this, you just keep testing things in which you are interested and start doing the things in which you
[03:22] feel you can earn money. देखो मैं यह नहीं कह रहा कि एक बारी में 10 चीजें ट्राई करो। What I am saying is keep digging until you find that one thing that makes you think, yes, I can earn so much money from this that
[03:34] I can reach a financially stable or mentally stable position. In fact, I myself tried many things to reach here. I failed at some things, learnt from some things but I kept going and even today I have not stopped. Even today I think about
[03:48] how I can push my limits further. I started in 2008 as a volunteer in event management. in 2008 as a volunteer in event management.
[04:04] service restaurant in 2015 and in 2016 I came to know about e-commerce and I learned everything from A to Z about e-commerce and if I wanted, I could have also created a brand. But I thought why not help others' businesses with my knowledge.
[04:17] After this, till today, in this journey of 10 years, I have worked with 5000 brands. As of today I am working with 500 plus sellers and 50 plus brands are also featured in my Sharktech India. In fact,
[04:30] I did not stop here either. All the sellers who became my clients had some questions or the other. Then I thought, if my clients have so many questions, then imagine clients have so many questions, then imagine
[04:45] creator journey also started from there. And even today I am struggling. Butt is not stopping. If I divide this entire video into small steps. Step one, stop waiting. Step two, ask yourself questions. Step three, start small. Step four,
[05:00] understand the value of money. Step five, keep testing things. Just keep on trying. Step six, keep digging until you find it. That's all there is to the road map. And if you really follow this road map, then brother, the dream of getting out of middle class life will
[05:14] not remain just a dream. Now the choice is simple. You just have to think or actually start. Now do tell me in the comments what steps you are going to take to start your journey. I keep bringing such videos every Saturday
[05:27] and I have already made thousands of videos on e-commerce. If you are already an e-commerce seller or are about to start your journey on e-commerce, then here I am posting a video from which you can learn the Flipkart way. And here I am posting another video
[05:39] how to get orders on Meesho. Watch both the videos, they will be very useful. And now we have also launched our YouTube membership. Where every Tuesday I Where every Tuesday I
