It’s Still A Great Time to Be Alive: Paul Han & Youtube Influencer Hustle
I’m always looking for new sources of wisdom and inspiration. Youtube has been a massive boon here. I stumbled upon a young 21 year old Korean-Canadian Youtuber named Paul Han: https://www.youtube.com/@PaulHan23. He and his older brother, who live at home with their parents, are in the process of building an ecommerce empire. He has decided to document his day to day for everyone.
He shares everything, the good and the bad and he admits he is just starting off and not quite made it yet to his goal of a 10 figure ecommerce business.
What I also like about Paul Han is that he shows everything and provides a good model for all young men. He gets up around 4 am in the morning, does the cold ice bath, listens to inspirational podcasts and interviews for motivation. He works out at the gym with his brother and then spends a few hours coordinating with his team. He reads a bit and then does 3-4 hours deep work, working on new ads, going through analytics. Chills/rests, followed by another 3-4 hours of deep work. He reads and then goes to bed, ready to do it all again the next day.
It’s inspiring and a reminder that these kinds of opportunities just did not exist when I was growing up. Entrepreneurship just wasn’t a thing back in the 90s in Canada. The internet was just coming out to the Universities. There were no examples of folks like Paul for young ambitious kids to emulate. Not that I have much to complain about at the moment, but I probably could have done with a bit more of this kind of inspiration growing up.
Now there are literally thousands of examples. There are tons of new tools and platforms to leverage. So many kinds of opportunities: ecommerce, dropshipping, selling digital courses, building an ad agency, real estate investing, commodity, crypto and stock trading. There are so many courses to take and masterminds to join so you can learn and take advantage of the multitude of opportunities out there. You are literally one search away from whatever it is you want to learn and master. The upside for an ambitious and hardworking young person is absolutely infinite.
There is much to absorb from Paul Han’s videos and shows the zeitgeist of our time. It’s the “Age of Individuals” as Tai Lopez calls it when ambitious people, young and old are able to leverage all the incredible tools available to us like Shopify, the various ad platforms on Facebook or Google or Tiktok, using the best copywriting tactics and aided by virtual assistants and AI tools. All to build a life they want. Being their own boss and incorporating goals of making money, while enjoying travel, freedom, health and fitness.
Another reminder that it’s a great time to be alive. Make sure you take advantage of all the opportunities available to craft the life you want for you and your family. The future is bright for those who are ready to do the work.
