I get these types of questions a lot - people ask me if it’s okay for them to do “this,” if “this” is a good idea, or if they should be doing “this.” And by “this,” I mean something that they SHOULD be doing but instead, they’re holding back, just waiting for someone to give them the go-ahead or permission to do it. This is NOT meant for people who ask me somewhat specific questions - it’s meant for the people who ask me if they should get their real estate license if they want to sell real estate, if they should reach out to their friend/family and ask them about their real estate experiences, if they should start a business they've been researching for awhile. You get the idea.
It’s totally normal to want someone’s permission or approval before doing something - there’s almost a “safety in numbers” mentality where if enough people agree with something, you’re protected in the event it doesn’t work out. It also shifts some of the responsibility from yourself and onto the other people who told you to do “this.” However, it’s important to note that you can’t wait around for someone to give you the approval or “ok” that you should do something - it’s very important to learn to get in the habit of making your own decisions and take full responsibility for it. Come up with your own decisions independent of what everyone else says.
That’s not to say you shouldn’t take other people’s opinions into consideration. BUT, you shouldn’t allow someone to have that much influence on you that their word is set in stone whether or not you do something. Consider everything you hear but come to the decision on your own. Learn to get in the habit of making your own decisions and deciding what you do. This applies to just about everything 🙂

so how can we stop giving away our power ? and stop giving others the power to choose for us
🧚🏻♂️☯️💒🌏🦅🌌
Actually,we’re never making our own decisions.
Scroll down,
Apple or banana ?
Whatever you picked your sure you picked it on your own right?
Wrong.your body had actually had it planned a few seconds before you even thought about it.
I’m too lazy to explain more
Wow dude I don’t know what to say, but I think you stabbed my heart, confirming my deepest fears, making my own choices rather than finding comfort in knowing you can blame others, it all makes sense now, everything that’s happened it all happened for a reason and that reason is fear, I’m so glad I saw this
Very good video Graham. Very insightful and valuable information!
I make the DECISION concerning my FUTURE NOBODY else MARK My WORDS 1000% more IMPORTANTLY is GOD is My WITNESS December 2022 – January 2023 Onwards
this is for my writing..
Great video! I enjoyed watching!
You don't know how this video has helped me! My flatmates brought the idea of me getting a vaccination and they really pressured me, I told them I don't feel ready for it, but they don't understand that, they felt disappointed, I told them I'll do it on a self willing day but not by being pressured! Am glad I stood on my own decision and not them deciding for me!! Thank you for this💕💕💕
Indian parents need to see this
Love your channel!

"Just to clear up any confusion – I'm definitely NOT going to be selling any hats, jackets, shirts, etc. Just thought it was funny since so many YouTubers all seem to have their own clothing line they try to promote at the end of their videos. I ain't 'bout dat life ;)"
Perfect example of how opinions change over the years lol
Great points Graham, we need to take full accountability for our decisions!
I didn't subscribe your channel, even if I watched a lot of your videos teaching people how to make money and how to save money, until this one. I will recommend this video to my son, he's 10, but old enough to understand.
Graham this was a great video!
THIS IS WHERE THE MERCH STARTED. I FOUND THE HOLY GRAIL.
Today has been good. I have been watching you for a while, I am now watching all of your videos in my free time. I have fully decided to jump and attach my goals. I have started swing trading and am up 15% this month. It was a lot of hard work many hours learning from Ricky G. And others. I also today went to an open house to learn more about the path to get my license. I just signed up for my 2 day “real estate principals course” then I can take the state test. I’m on my grind. I’m 19 years old and just trying to have the future that I deserve. I don’t want to work harder than anyone at a 9-5 and just get a gift card. I want to see my hard work!
Word
Not going to lie- I was like this when I was younger, too. For me, it was largely due to having been raised by a "Do-As-I-Say" father and then enlisting into the Army which is pretty much another "Do-As-I-Say" environment. Several years ago, I happened to hear Lady Gaga's song "ScheiBe" that goes, "If you're a strong female, you don't need permission." All Hell broke loose from there! LOL 🤣
I realized that I was an adult and nobody "owned" me or could tell me what to do. Likewise, I didn't need to ask for anyone's approval. I must have sang "ScheiBe" everyday for MONTHS as my motivation.
* You always post videos about a specific subject and I turn up with a comment about how I relate it to my personal life 🤣
This is really good advice, many thanks
Thanks for your videos Graham. love your enthusiasm and clear thinking approach in what you do. keep up the good videos. iv
I'm way too frugal to buy that shirt but if you send one to me I'll wear the shit out of it <3
I have a SUGGESTION. So you probably get 1k messages a day but this one is different, I have decided to do as you say and make my own decisions now if it doesn't work ill blame you :P.
Ok seriously, I have seen some stuff here and there but you haven't made a video on questions (or if you have I haven't found it so far, and yes I have looked, although maybe not as well as I could have). So basically, would you be so kind as to make a video about questions: what type of questions did you go around asking in real estate offices? What are, in your opinion, some of the best real estate questions? What are the best questions one can ask?
if you have time I, as well as hopefully a lot of other people, would be very thankful. After all "judge a man by his questions".
I thought this was gonna be deeper 😂 anyways yeah I feel you!
hey guys sub to sub
Yooooooooooo love the channel bro
hey man! i know you get hundreds of questions a day like you said but i had another one . i was wondering if its smart to turn 1 family homes and turn them into 2 family homes ? please let me know what you think of this. theirs a few that can be turned into 2 family homes but i just wanted your opinion on it and it worth it? thank man cheers!
dig this one Gmoney
"At the end of the day, Your decision is the only one that really matters."… I've watched a few of your videos so far and I must say. I. AM. FUCKING MOTIVATED to get this money… Thanks for being awesome!!!
