Video summary
Tony Goson opens his video by addressing a disturbing trend he has observed regarding individuals falsely claiming to be professional athletes, specifically highlighting a fake player from the Dallas Cowboys who was actually on a Division II college roster. He notes that while these impostors often possess physical attributes that make their deception plausible, such as being in shape or attractive, they frequently resort to deleting social media accounts after being exposed. Goson contrasts these cases with high-profile instances involving white individuals who have faked illnesses like cancer or even staged pregnancies for financial gain, arguing that the phenomenon is not racially motivated but rather a symptom of a broader societal issue where people lose their sense of reality due to excessive social media consumption. He suggests that therapists may soon need to coin a new diagnosis for this behavior, which he terms "social credit dysmorphia," describing it as a state where individuals live in a fabricated version of themselves to gain validation and financial reward from online audiences.
The speaker then pivots to the mechanics of how people sustain these delusions, explaining that many scammers and influencers rent luxury cars or stage elaborate lifestyles to create highlight reels that convince others they are successful while they are actually struggling financially. He illustrates this by recounting his own experience renting a Lamborghini and a drop-top Bentley for a day to film motivational content, noting that the money earned from selling services like credit repair or business consulting after posting these videos can quickly pay off the rental costs. However, he warns that this practice encourages others to believe they must "scam themselves" by pretending to be wealthy to achieve success, leading them down a path of fraud rather than legitimate growth. He emphasizes that while everyone posts some version of a curated life online, those who completely lose touch with reality and live entirely in their delusion are the ones causing harm and need to be distinguished from those simply trying to motivate an audience.
Goson argues that the solution to breaking this cycle lies in a significant mindset shift from scarcity to abundance, which requires individuals to invest in themselves rather than seeking free trials or cheap shortcuts that often lead to scams. He shares his personal financial journey, detailing how he transitioned from earning twenty thousand dollars a year by refusing to spend money on courses or tools to over half a million annually once he began investing in systems, software, and professional development. This story serves as testimony that legitimate success is possible without illegal activities or deception, provided one is willing to pay for the necessary resources and education to grow their business. He cautions against the greed that makes people believe expensive programs hold secret keys to wealth, while also acknowledging that affordable options are often dismissed as lacking value, urging viewers to recognize that true growth comes from investing in oneself and taking responsibility for their own evolution.
Ultimately, the video concludes with a call to action for viewers to examine their own lives and determine what mindset changes are necessary to reach their next level of potential. Goson encourages his audience to stop worrying about what others think and to focus on becoming the version of themselves required to attract the life they desire, even if that process is difficult or uncomfortable. He promotes his "Purpose Pushers" community as a platform for legitimate growth and accountability, offering a free trial period before requiring payment to ensure serious commitment from members. As he wraps up while grabbing food and preparing to watch a movie, he reiterates the importance of keeping one's head up, continuing to work on oneself, and believing that there is more potential available to everyone who is willing to make the necessary sacrifices and investments to achieve their goals.

Hey, hey, Tony Goson here popping in
n forgive me so dark. I know you can't
see me.
I'm riding up to get me one of these old
sweet sodas from uh Swig.
Might get me some dirty rice from
Bojangle. I know it's going to taste
like clean rice though.
I don't know who they got back there.
But yeah, wanted to pop on on here. I've
been seeing I've been watching a lot on
this here.
Fake 49ers player
and now they got another fake player who
played for the Dallas Cowboys. He he a
fake player from Dallas Cowboys. Now,
this one actually played or at least was
on the roster of a division two school
in college. Now, for those of y'all who
don't know, the highest level, of
course, is division one.
And I mean, you gotta say that cuz
sometimes people can go the other way
cuz one is a lower number. But division
one is the highest, then two, then
three, then they got Nia,
then they got Jo.
And this gentleman at least was on the
roster. Now, what he did with the
faking, I'm not sure what he did cuz it
don't sound like he was doing a scam.
Now, he done deleted his Instagram. And
I just don't know what he had going on.
What was the point of faking it, but it
just really
I wish I could come up with the name for
it. You know how y'all how they have
narcissism and all of that, but just
like this false reality, like this fake
reality of And then like the the lady
who they really making Cheyenne look
normal.
And I haven't seen any viral videos of
Cheyenne since she got found out as a
fake doctor. I know she did something.
she was somewhere on a vacation and was
talking about, you know, something about
people still promoting her or something
like that, but
and she may have gone on an interview or
something, but
just to see.
And here's one thing that I noticed.
Not one of those four people. You got
Cheyenne, you got Angel,
then you got Dejon, and then the other
boy, he's he has like a different name,
maybe African name. I don't know if it's
Nigerian, but it was something with a U.
But what I noticed is not one of those
people
are conventionally
unattractive in the sense of like the
guys, both of them are in shape. The one
guy of course real skinny but still in
shape.
The other guy, the fake Dallas Cowboys
player, very in shape. I mean he built
like a NFL player. Like I see how people
could believe it with him. And then the
lady Angel, she's pretty. Cheyenne is
pretty. And I know it's probably more
people out there that them fake but we
ain't found out about like they just
ain't hit all the airwaves
now. And those four black people, that's
unfortunate now. Like man, we taking
L's. Like my goodness, can we get some
some fake white people? Now, on the
white side of things, I have seen
documentaries and stuff to where the
white women would fake cancer.
I seen somebody, two white women who
fake cancer, and I mean raised a bunch
of money, would be faking going to the
hospital, would go to the hospital for
something that is nothing and take a
picture.
They was raising money and balling out.
And then one I saw another thing of a
white lady. She faked
um being pregnant and then end up I'm
guessing it was maybe cut the baby out
cut the baby out of a friend's stomach
and killed a friend
or something like that. or the friend
had the baby and then she
cut an umbilical cord and stole the baby
and killed the lady or something like
that. Her she got a documentary out
there
and so you know you got faking across so
it ain't a it's not a race thing. I
ain't trying to say that but it just you
know when it's your race man you just
want to just bury your head in the sand
like my goodness y'all making us look
bad
and
But when you think about these symptoms,
these diseases,
like what is that?
What in the world is that? Y'all
therapists, y'all ain't got no name for
it yet now because it ain't now post out
of scene with now post says such and
such suffering from such and such.
So
delusion,
but I think we need to include something
with social media cuz everybody's using
social media
and and so now we seeing this. So, what
the therapists are going to do, they're
going to coin a disease
that comes from social media
and comparing your life and feeling
insignificant
and unworthy
and unaccomplished.
this now. Now
these and I'm going tell you now these
people might be able to get a check from
Meta because they have become
disillusioned
because of social media consumption.
They done lost their mind
from social media consumption. And and
do you know what though? to a degree. We
all do it. If you actively use social
media, we all like if you post in your
stories, we all post something that will
send a message
that may not be true.
So
I posted my son today
and he had a lobster tail
a ribeye steak
with
grilled shrimp on top of it. Bacon mac
and cheese
and
fries.
But then for the appetizer, he had
loaded bacon cheese fries
with ranch. And then we had a bloom and
onion. We was at that place outback.
And now it ain't Texas Roadhouse who
agreed to spit in black people food.
I I I don't know if I ever been to Texas
Roadhouse. I guess we just ain't got
enough of them around here. But so I
posted that
and I ain't got no money. So people
probably like, "Man, that's how his
child eat." Well, yeah, that's how he
ate, but look, I still I still need
another job. So that sends a wrong
message.
And then I might post stuff to where I'm
trying to motivate you and people think
me and my wife going through issues
because I'm posting a certain
relationship message cuz most people if
they not in a position of being an
advisor or a life coach they posting by
theirel and but me I got to post for
other people but people forget that
because they used to posting for theirel
and so they might read mine like I'm
going through something and So that's
the thing though
to a degree. We all living a lie because
we got holes in our socks.
Nobody can see our problems. My homeboy
said that to him a long time ago. I
don't know if he made that up. He said
he made it up but we was kids. He said I
got holes in my socks. So I was like why
you don't go change socks?
He like, "No, that mean you can't see my
problem."
I'm like, "Dang, boy, that's deep, boy."
Boy, what the world you got that from? I
made that up. Like, my goodness, boy.
You done pass Jay-Z and everybody with
that right there now. But that's what he
told me. And I didn't use that ever
since.
And so, this the thing.
This the thing y'all forgive me. I had
to take that little quick turn right
there because I had a turn signal and it
went away. Had to go on ahead and take
it. So this the thing here now
to a degree we might all live a lie. I
told y'all about my client who went into
the Jeppe store and tried on a pair of
shoes and took a picture, but with the
angle, you can't tell if she's sitting
on the stool in a big closet, you know,
in her home closet or she at the house,
posted the picture online,
handed the person the shoes back, walked
out the store, but got social credit.
Uh-oh. There what? That's what we could
call it. social credit dysmorphia.
So, she got social credit
but
didn't actually buy the shoes.
So, the same thing like you can rent a
car for a day.
You can rent
any kind of car. So, you get your tax
return and you want to manifest like
y'all like to call it. you want to
manifest,
you could go rent a G Wagon.
If you if you Google luxury rentals near
me, you got somewhere near you. You can
rent a G Wagon, you could rent a
Lamborghini, you could rent a McLaren, a
Porsche, any kind of car, Rolls-Royce,
any kind of car could be rented for 2500
or less
per day.
And
they hold money on the card and all
that. Got to have a credit card. They'll
hold money and all that.
I done rented a Lamborghini for a day,
but I did it through a concierge, so I
ain't have to hold no card. I just gave
him $1,000 cash.
I rented a drop top Bentley for a day.
Those are two cars that I've never
owned. I I'm driving a Bentley. I have a
Bentley, but not a drop top Bentley. And
this was before I had a Bentley, I
think. And can't remember what I paid
for that Bentley that day. It could have
been $1,000, but I liked the dream. I
liked the dream. But you can rent a car
for a day, do a video in it, post that
video, and let's say you do credit
repair. Let's say you do business
credit. Let's say you do life insurance.
You do anything. You spend that money,
rent that car, post videos in that car,
and then and then guess what you could
do? You can
be driving down the road in one outfit,
shoot a motivational video,
change outfits, drive some change
shirts, drive some more, shoot another
video. You could shoot 30 videos in that
one day. Now you need 30 shirts, but you
could shoot 30 videos in that one day in
that doubler, that Rolls-Royce,
and you got if you post three a week,
you got 10 weeks of content.
By the time you finish posting that
content, that might got you a hundred
clients.
So now you done earned the money. And if
you charge $500 for whatever service you
doing,
you just made $50,000.
So now you can go bum, put that 50k down
on a doubler,
do another 30 videos.
It cost you, the car cost you three
grand a month to eight grand a month,
but you do another 30 videos, now you
get 200 clients. Now you done made a 100
grand. Now you done paid for the
Rolls-Royce. Now see, that's what people
don't understand. Now you could be doing
legitimate business.
That's if you want to finesse, that's
how you finesse right there versus
scamming.
And so here's what they taking and
doing. They sending everybody else
highlight reels
and it's like everybody going, everybody
living, everybody balling out of
control. So they like, man, I got the
ball, man.
What can I do to ball?
I'm thinking right now, what can I do to
ball? Like what can I do? How can I run
meal by egg? And so they start thinking
like that
and then guess what?
They come up with them a scheme
and and they lose all sense of reality.
They stop and they literally go into
this realm to where this realm becomes
their reality. I don't even think they
consciously thinking about it at night.
You know how people be like, "Oh, how
did you sleep at night?" I don't even
think they thinking about it at night.
Like, I don't even think I think they
literally become that person they say
that they are. And honestly, I think
that's a practice we might need to do,
but in a healthy way, in a real way. We
might need
to pretend
that we are a billionaire or a
millionaire or a 100,000ire, whichever
is the next step up for you.
We might need to pretend that we that
and live like that in our mind. like
eat,
drink, shower, sleep like we are that
I'm going to start living like a
billionaire. These scammers done these
scams didn't en encourage me.
They done encouraged me in the Lord. I'm
going to start living like I'm a
billionaire. Oh yeah.
They they done they done helped me out.
They done pushed me to the next level.
Uh-huh. I mean, the show start living
like I'm going to be, you know,
I'm going to be I'm going to be brushing
my teeth with Saratoga water
and just go on ahead and embody it. Go
on ahead and live it
and just go ahead and see.
And so that's the thing that we don't
think about
that. That's all they did. It just they
did it the wrong way. But the question
is why did they do it? So this is the
thing now. You might not have
social
media dysmorphia
or social credit dysmorphia.
You might not have that yet. But this
what you got to realize.
What you got to realize
is
you might
you might need to
take a look.
Let me see which ones I'm getting.
Okay. My wife want to text his tab.
She want to get my son
something about a little duck.
And so you might need to start looking.
and seeing, okay, what do I need to do?
What do I need to do
in my life
where
I take and look and see
who I need to become
mentally?
Who do I need to become mentally that I
can grow
and go to that next level
and think about that.

order then came inside and took my

Like my goodness, man. You looking your
behind all ain't you, man. I ain't know
these things was No, I'm thinking it was
a soda. I ain't know it was a slushy a
soda.
Y'all forgive me one second.
So listen,
that what I want you to start thinking
about.
You know these people,
they taking
and scamming
and they going to that uh oh, you know
what? They going to another level with
these scams
and they taking it and running up bags
with the scams but not realizing that
they could have ran up a bag
with honesty.
They could have did something honest
and ran it up.
could have just
shifted their mindset
and put their mind to something
next level,
but they didn't think about that.
And that's what I want you to process
and think about
one second back to what I was saying.
And so now the iPhone got a pause on it.
I love that. Now you can hit that pause
button then come back. So I'm have to
pause it again. And so that's the thing
I want you to think about is
what mindset shift you have to have. Now
if you're not in the purpose pushers
community, that's one way you losing.
But I'm I'mma let you lose cuz I know
how that is. I know how the yada
yada the awakening done scarred y'all.
So I'm going let you lose till you're
ready to win. When you ready to win then
you going to join us in the purpose
pushers. Now at the entry level you just
get the recordings and and I had a free
trial. I had to take the free trial off
cuz people messed it up. You try to help
people out and people messed it up. they
did the free trial,
didn't cancel the free trial
or signed up for the wrong thing, and
then the card got charged, and then I
have to do refunds and and that mess you
up with the payment processor, and it
also mess you up with the business. And
so, you literally can get kicked out of
business. And a lot of people don't
realize that. people who don't have a
business, they don't understand how
detrimental refunds could be. It get you
audited. It get you everything.
And so I had to take that off of them.
So it's like
So I want you to think about that. Think
about the mindset shift you need to
have. I'm just coming off pause, y'all.
So forgive me if I ain't pick up right
off where I left off.
But think about that mindset shift
because that's what's going to
be everything for you.
And here's the thing,
a little bit
can turn into a lot. I I saw and this is
what people don't think about. This is
what people don't realize is how
how we stay broke. People don't process
how we stay broke
because
they don't understand
seed time and harvest.
So, it's like I saw where they said
Kevin Durant, the basketball player,
invested I think
150 or 250,000
into this company and it's now worth
and he got paid out 60 million.
Think about
the seed
that yielded a harvest.
Think about that.
I sat down
and I wrote a book
and then it cost me my $20
membership on chat GPT
for my book cover and also to get the
recommendation to the formatterater. the
formatter thing. It cost me
about $30 a month or $25 a month.
Really, $300
for the year. I paid for the whole year.
So, it cost me that.
And then
I published the book, The Purpose Art.
Free to publish.
I just went through the whole process
with the with the purpose pushers
community tonight
and so I done published. Guess what? I I
ain't see how many copies it sold,
but I need to check back.
I I I let's say 200.
But then and I get $4 a sale. So that's
800 in in one month.
could have been 20. Y'all forgive me.
But when it get to 200 and I get $4 a
book, that's $800.
So yes, it Yes, it hurt.
$320 hurt.
That hurt.
And so
I went broke in that moment,
but now I could eat for life because I
invested in me. That's what a lot of
people don't realize. It's like that's
what my purpose pushers finding out.
They looking at they now realizing, man,
I can invest $47
within a million ways I waste my money.
I can invest $47,
but I'm literally getting
a million dollar blueprint in purpose.
And so people don't understand the
mindset shift it take to go from
scarcity to abundance.
And it just like investing your time.
It's like y'all see what I do on
YouTube,
but the YouTube
might take and earn
20,000
or more a month.
This month, a low month and a slow
month. But you got to think about it.
It's like if I take
and I earn
20,000
in a month
and I work 20 hours. I film for 20 hours
worth of content.
Then where that put me at?
Where does that put me at? That put me
at
$1,000 an hour.
So with no college degree. So then let
me ask you this.
What job you going to
that'll give you what job you going to
now that'll pay you
$1,000 a hour
with no college degree? You see what I'm
saying?
You ain't going to now. It It ain't
going to be now. You ain't going to now
job
that's going to pay you.
You ain't going to now job that's going
to pay you
$1,000 an hour with no college degree.
But I had to invest in me.
That's investing time.
One second. Y'all got to order me and my
wife a little bit of this here.
What you going to have to do is
is you going to have to
you going to have to scam yourself.
See how these scammers done scammed us?
You're gonna have to scam yourself
because
you don't believe
there's another level for you.
You don't believe in you enough to bet
on you. These people bet on themselves
as a scam. N the the people just said
they literally said I'm f to go
alls to the wall
and I'm going all out. These people say
I don't care what nobody else think.
I don't care what nobody think. I don't
care what nobody got to say about
nothing.
I'm f to do this thing.
I don't care about what my mama think.
The boy um Dejan
Deja Love, he had a picture with his
mama.
He brought his mama into the finesse
like he had them put her on. He talking
about they from Switzerland.
Talking about they own 90% of something.
His family own 90%
of something out of Switzerland. I say
what the world boy is crazy. This boy
say he bought a $20 million mansion in
Beverly Hills. Boy say he had boy say he
got a house in Dublin. Boy say he got uh
something a penthouse on billionaire
road in New York.
Say house way at in the safest
neighborhood in California.
I'm like, man,
I'm like, this man ain't got no shame.
That man ain't got no shame.
>> Have a good night.
>> All righty. Thank you.
>> Thank you.
>> I say this man ain't got no shame. This
man I said, boy, this man here
I said we all can learn something from
him. I was like, "Well, that boy
confident."
You hear me?
Confidente.
I'm like, "Wow."
The level of confidence.
I mean, the boy just
the boy the boy saying
the boy on the video sending the video
to the girl.
The boy say,
"Yeah, this chain right here 20. This
chain here 50. This bracelet 20. This
rain 15." I mean, just running down all
the fake prices, all the jury. I'm like,
"Boy, if he actually paid that for that
jury, he sure got scammed." I said, "He
sure could have went and got some moist
tonight and looked it better than what
he got on." I said, "Boy, he sure got
scammed." I sure wish I was a jeweler
for him or saw a car salesman cuz like
once you spend the money, you spend the
money now. They can't come back to me
for selling my car to them now.
It's like, "No. Uhuh. I'm doing
legitimate business." That's him doing
the fraud. The cost sold. He bought that
Lamborghini from me. He Hey, all up a
creep
chasers because it was the Cleat
Chasers. It's like you got to be crazy.
You got you got to be crazy. It's like
you could look at that boy for a few
seconds until he lying through his
teeth.
That's so it it that right there was
like reaping what you sow like your head
ain't got to be your head ain't on
straight and he finesse you like that
now like you really wanted something too
bad and that was the lesson that the
Lord let you get cuz next would have
been your life. That was the lesson the
Lord let you get cuz what are you
kidding me? But think about this now.
These people just
and they don't seem crazy. Like you look
at them, you listening to them. Don't
nothing about them seem crazy. But we
obviously know they are.
So here these people are crazy
and we can't tell it just off the onset.
So
this this the kind of delusion
we got to trick ourselves into for
success, for legitimate success, for
honest success. That's how you got to
take your M. You have to get out of your
way. That's what I'm working on right
now. Like Tony, stop caring.
Stop caring about what this person
think, that person think,
this and that. Stop caring about that
now.
And focus on what you doing. Focus on
what you got to do
and don't worry about nothing else.
Everything going to come from it.
Everything was for you going to be
yours, but you got to do your work. And
that's the thing.
purpose pushes community. We taking and
we we pushing to where
every month
we we on that horn. Every month
we we get on that horn. Solareneur, we
got two live teachings a month
and we pushing
and that's a lot of work on me but got
to do it. And so you got to ask
yourself, are you where you want to be?
Are you doing what you want to do?
Is that what you want to be doing?
Well, I don't don't ever get no drink
with no coconut in it. That coconut take
over the whole drain. My goodness.
And you got to ask yourself
and and if it's if it's not what you
want to be doing,
if you not where you want to be at,
then you going to have to psych yourself
out
to go to the next level.
It got to be you verse you.
And that's what you got to do.
It got to be youth verse you.
Youth verse you.
And that ain't going to be easy.
But it's something that
in every area of your life, you have to
become
the version of yourself
that you need to be
to attract the things in your life that
your heart desires.
Who do you have to become
to attract
the things your heart desires?
That's what you going to have to do.
So, think about that and realize that
it ain't going to be easy, but it ain't
meant to be easy.
It ain't meant to be easy. Like, I'm
still learning a lot. After earning
millions of dollars as an entrepreneur,
I'm still learning a lot. still done
made a lot of mistakes, a lot of
hiccups,
a lot of mishaps. But guess what? Got to
keep going.
Got to keep grinding.
And you got to realize that.
You got to come to a place to where you
start to realize and see
what it's going to require of you. What
is that next level going to require?
What changes do you have to make
to become
who you need to be?
And here's the thing.
There is
there is
nothing
without something.
And that's what a lot of people trying
to get around.
I never forget when the publisher said
to me, she said, "Tony, one day you
going to have to pay for something
because I was like kind of boastful and
I don't pay for nothing. Like I just do
free classes. I do free seminar, free
teles seminars,
free
blog cast, blog posts, podcast. Back
then it used to be called like blog
talk. They had Blog Talk Radio. It was a
thing and it was like podcast before
podcast
and you called in
and I never forget I did one one time
and I had posted that I was going to be
doing it and it had listeners had people
listening in and that night they want to
ask me about gays and I just talked
about like you know I don't believe in
it or whatever and this and that And
I never forget Miss Elliot follow me on
Twitter and I think I was promoting it
so I think she tuned in that night
and they say that she gay. I don't know
if she is or not but you know that's
what people be saying but I just know
after that night she never talked to me
again
in a real way and I say man that's how
it beat on. It's a line in the sand.
Like you got to know where you stand.
And I remember though back then I used
to do every only free stuff. That was a
little sidebar. Ain't mean nothing. But
only free stuff. And she said that to
me. And guess what?
When I when I had the mentality that I'm
not going to spend no money on nothing,
I'm not gonna budget and sacrifice
to invest in me.
You know what I You know what I was
earning when she told me that? $20,000 a
year.
$20,000 a year.
It wasn't until I started investing in
me
in courses,
in products and services,
systems, software.
It wasn't until I started spending money
on my purpose, on my brand, on my
business, that I started to see a real
return.
And I literally went from $20,000 a year
to $143,000
a year. And then the next year went to
$250
or 280 or something like that. Then went
to 380, then went to 480.
And and I have not earned since I cross
a half a million a year. I have not
earned less than a half a million a year
since I crossed a half a million.
And nothing has really changed. Like my
brand ain't necessarily bigger. I mean,
it's it's bigger, you know, to a degree,
but where the brand is bigger at don't
make me no money. like it was nothing
but I think maybe maybe
no I mean YouTube
YouTube YouTube did I did get to a place
on YouTube to where
I forgive me I ain't go to I guess I
ain't get close
Is the system working?
>> Let me see if it's the do or not.
>> Oh,
>> just back up a little bit behind it and
I'll wipe it off and then whenever you
go back through it should
>> Okay.
>> Your windows just look like it's got a
lot of condensation. [bell]
Yep. That's what Thank you very much.
>> Like the car by the way.
>> Hey, appreciate it.
I
>> say like the car by the way. All right,
sir. Appreciate you now. Thank you.
My daddy car. Gave this to my daddy.
And so that's that's what happened. You
know, that the shift happened. And think
about that now. And I don't share that
to brag. I share that to be a regular
testimony because you watch me every
day. Like you see, when I say watch me,
I don't mean you watch my videos every
day. But I mean, you see how I live.
Like you see what I talk about. You see
what I do. When you look at my life and
you see what I'm doing, you can see that
I'm not
doing anything
illegal. I'm not doing anything crazy.
Like I'm not selling you something
that's like crazy. Like everything I do
is purpose-based.
Like I I I don't I I don't even have an
example. But you remember Organo Gold?
You know, I'm not in a multilevel
marketing coffee company
and where they was, you know, using
coffee as the the little tool, but it's
like, man, it ain't that much coffee in
the world. Like, man, don't nobody love
coffee that much for y'all to be around
here corroborating around this coffee
like like you selling salvation out
here. Y'all having meetings and meetups
and calls and all about some coffee.
like what the real and then the same
thing with TLC total life changer you
know they selling tea selling that tea
and all of that like you know ain't
nothing wrong with it you everybody
start something well but what's the
purpose in it where's the purpose it's
no purpose in it because you don't even
know what you're selling you don't even
know about the factories
you don't even know about the
ingredients
RN and stuff started losing their job
cuz the stuff they was drinking had TH
AC in it. So when they had to do the
drug test, they tested positive
for being a marijuana smoker and got
fired.
And them people want to them people
don't want to hear nothing about, oh,
you had THC in this in your weight loss
tea.
They a want to hear nothing about that.
They like, yeah, yeah, right. Uh-huh.
That's what they all say.
You've been you've been puffing on that
green leaf.
lost their job.
So that's what I mean. It's a lot of
ways to get out here and make money, but
that don't mean it's attached to
purpose.
And so that's what I'm trying to tell
you. It's like if the Lord could take
and do it
and you could you could see and hear
about a story of somebody going
from 20,000 a year to over a half a
million a year and then stay over a half
a million a year
without doing no funny business,
without running no scams.
You got to realize and understand like
that's a real thing.
But it take a mindset shift. It take
believing that you can do it. Believing
that there's more in you and there's
more out there for you.
And
you know what? And that's that's what I
took and said, you know, I had to take
the free trial off the purpose pushers.
And I and I had to say to myself, I
said, you know what? My whole YouTube is
a free trial. Like my whole brand, my
whole career is a free trial. Like it if
you
if you don't if you ain't seen enough to
believe
that I could teach you something and
help you, then you ain't who I want to
work with.
I'm like, if I got to do a a free trial
for you, you ain't who I want to work
with. So, I said, I'd rather have less
people
who believe in what we working on
than to have a whole bunch of people on
a free trial just coming in, soaking up
the energy out the room, and then
leaving.
And cuz we trying to push to something.
You know what? cuz it's about changing
the world. It's about changing your
life. It's about changing your lineage,
changing your legacy.
That's what it's about.
It's really about pushing to that next
level.
That's really what it's about.
And we don't realize and understand
that.
But hey, about to be home.
Just went out to get the family a little
something to snake on.
It's 9:45. I'm about to watch this thing
about something Death of a Preacher's
Wife on Netflix. I sure want to see
about that. See what that's talking
about. But I have more videos going up
and
keep pressing, keep believing, keep
working on yourself.
Here's the thing. I try to get I try to
get you to understand, man. I try to
It's hard though. It's hard because like
we have so much greed in our heart to
where we only believe in stuff that
costs a arm and a leg.
So, like if I took and created something
that costs $1,000 a month, people will
figure out how to take their three or
4,000 or 5,000 a month that they earn
and how to reduce their bills to pay
that thousand a month because they think
if it cost that much, it got to be a
secret. It got to be a secret sauce,
secret to success. And that's how
scammers get you.
That's how the scammers get you.
But then so people will do that now and
pay $50,000
for a mastermind
and that's how the scammers get you
cuz they know that they playing on that
greed.
But then when something is affordable,
which is relatively cheap, meaning we
like, "Oh no, it must ain't no value in
it. That don't cost enough."
And that's where the servants struggle
at.
But so what I'm trying to get you to
understand is that
some of the best things in your life
going to be right in your face.
And you just going to have to hear
and make you a move
to make it happen.
But hey, this Tony Gasson, God bless
you. Keep your head up. All the
important links in the description might
just be the purpose pushers. Join us
over there. We growing. Get on in while
we at the founders pricing. Get on in.
Especially if you couldn't get in the
soloreneur mastermind. God bless you.
We'll talk soon.
