I'm going to share with you the 17 rules of success. These rules are what make the top 0.01% of people successful. Some of these rules are what I use to make my first million before 27 years old, and others are from what I've observed rubbing shoulders with some of the richest people in history. So, without further explaining it, these are the 17 rules of success. The first rule is to ignore advice from the bottom 99.9%. If you want to be rich, don't listen to broke people. The truth is if your parents, your friends, your teachers have achieved the thing that you want to achieve, then great advice. If they haven't, then don't internalize it. Don't respond to it. At the end of the day, a lot of people in your life, your parents, your friends, your teachers, they all want to see you not hurt. They don't want you to go through pain. So, they're going to give you advice. It's going to help you avoid that. But the truth is, if you want to be successful, you actually have to go through pain. You have to look forward to challenges. have to do things that other people aren't willing to do so you can live a life that very few people can.

How to steal it
setting · outdoor city
- 01Hook (0-2s)
Open with the "personal rules caused extreme wealth" beat. No intro card, no logo, no greeting.
Brickell · Roll camera before you arrive at Brickell Ave at golden hour or Biscayne Blvd south of 5th. The reveal IS the hook.
- 02Set the frame (2-4s)
Establish outdoor city with your hero prop. Wide on the 16mm so the GT3 RS sells the scale.
Brickell · Keep the prop count to 1. More props = more cuts = lower retention.
- 03Payoff (4-9s)
Use direct to camera rant to deliver the rewatch moment. One idea, one take.
Brickell · Cut on the reaction, not the line. If it's a price reveal, hold the number on screen for 1.5s.
- 04Reaction / proof (9-13s)
Show the consequence. Bystander head-turn, valet face, on-screen receipt — whatever makes the payoff feel real.
Brickell · Casa Tua and Komodo valets are cinematic. E11even paddock for nightlife crowd. Hard Rock paddock during F1 weekend = prebuilt audience.

Variant 1
These five rules bought me a $500k GT3 RS at 25.
Open standing next to the GT3 in the Brickell garage. Walk through the five operational rules that scaled OVO Talent from zero creators to Nike and Gymshark campaigns, framing each rule as something the viewer can steal today.
Variant 2
The rules I followed after quitting ZoomInfo changed everything I earn.
Start at the penthouse window, Brickell skyline behind. Tell the story of leaving the number one AE spot at 22 and the specific rules (pricing structure, cold outreach cadence, brand pitch format) that built OVO to recurring revenue off Celsius and Gatorade deals.
