this video is for all the haters for all the people who told me I couldn't do
what I wanted to do or I couldn't do what I dreamed of this one's for you so
I don't know what it is about me or what I've done in life but basically since
the day I was born since the day I everything that I did in life somebody
told me I couldn't do what I wanted to do if it was you know in high school I
wanted to be a filmer my teacher in high school actually told me that I would
never make any money filming or I couldn't actually make a living from TV
production or a video production world and I thought that was really really bad
for him but told me that but then at the same time I actually looked back at now
I'm like I think well they told me that because all the people that he told that
they could do that they never did anything all the people that he told
would have great careers that would have amazing potential in the movie world and
the TV production world never went anywhere so all those kids in my high
school that were the promised ones all the ones who were had huge potential are
not doing anything and it's not that I'm trying to brag but I think it's the
people the underdogs the people who are told constantly they can't do something
people that are told that they're not good enough people that are told that
they can't achieve those goals or those dreams are the ones who normally
surprise everybody I guess that goes with this thing about people rooting for
the underdog but I think most the time it's when you are faced with adversity
when you're faced with complications that's when you overcome that's when you
become a better person in the sense of whatever you're trying to accomplish for
me when I first started filming when I first started doing all this I started
out really just doing it and just doing it and doing it and doing it the point
where I finally could get paid and once it started getting paid I was like I got
to get better at this because I want to get paid more or I want to keep this job
going I want to impress people in the haters the people who were really the
negative people the people that constantly told me I was bad or told me
that I wasn't idiot er told me that I couldn't do what I wanted to do those
were the people who motivated me those are the people who made me want to be
better it wasn't the people who told me that I did a good job
it was never when people told me hey your videos good that's not what
motivated me it was always the motivation from the haters the people
who told me that I couldn't do it that made me want to
prove them wrong so every time I failed told myself that I had to get back on
the horse that I had to get up there and I had to prove them wrong it was always
the random anonymous people online that's the best thing about the Internet
was the random people who could just make up any names and make a comment and
say hey this video sucks Patrick Whelan sucks he's terrible he's
the worst and those are the comments that really got to me even though they
shouldn't have because it was like they're anonymous and they're not really
any doesn't really matter who cares somebody made up a fake profile and
wrote a comment about you who cares but really I cared I wanted to prove them
wrong I wanted to make my videos so good to the point where nobody could comment
badly nobody could had any critique nobody could say hey this video wasn't
good and it got to a point where the comment stops and people stopped
commenting and then I was kind of sad cuz I was like man now no one's
commenting nobody's hating so then I was like I need to push the envelope I need
to get weird I need to do things differently I need to make people
comment again I need to make people hate these videos again so that's what I did
I would start using different kind of music or different kind of editing
techniques and if people would be like this is the worst this music sucks or
Patrick's the worst what does he do and he's so bad at editing and I would push
that envelope to the point where I'll say okay now they're back okay now we
got them they're back let's prove them wrong again let's make better music
let's find better videos let's do it better so then when I started doing
other things in life and I started doing social media or whatever else it was
people again would tell me you know you can't make a full-time job out of this
you can't do this as a living you can't make enough money to survive off of just
of this you need to get a real job you need to go to college you need to do
this stuff and I said no no there's no way I'm gonna work harder than anybody
else has ever worked I'm gonna do it and I'm gonna be more involved in that
process than anybody else I'm gonna work you know twelve hours a day no problem I
don't care cuz really when it comes down to I'm gonna prove everybody wrong who
told me I couldn't do it so the guys out there
my dad had friends who told him that you know he can't do this for a living or he
needs to protect his money he'll lose everything he can't do this he won't be
able to do this so all those guys out there they might actually be watching
but all those guys out there who did that I proved him wrong and now they're
like wow they're kind of impressed they're impressed cuz they didn't
actually think it was possible and that's the greatest thing about all this
is proving people wrong but then also proving that
is possible proving that it's possible to have a dream and do it in to
accomplish it it's not just like hey I want to have a dream to become a
billionaire I want have a dream do this you need to make little steps along the
way you gotta make steps to the point where you know obtainable steps but
still you know steps that are realistic but also steps that you can keep growing
in the sense that hey I want to make a hundred thousand dollars like hey I want
to make two hundred thousand dollars you know I'm making those goals it's not
always about the money but I use the money just it's like kind of a goal like
hey kind of gives me a range or my value and and I've always thought about it
like if I can make a million dollars filming that gives me value because it's
like hey people are willing to pay that it's not that I'm making a ton of money
or not that I'm really rich but the idea that people are actually willing to pay
me a lot of money to do my services that at one point I made no money doing it so
that proves I do have value people do value my skill or people do value what I
bring to the table so that's the one cool thing about looking at it as like
hey you know this company's willing to pay me $30,000 to make this video that's
that's pretty good you know I did I did good I did a good job
I've worked hard I now I deserve that I put in the work I put in the effort I
put in the long hours when no one else did I didn't go to the bars or I stayed
home I worked all night I hate to say the word deserve it's not like I deserve
any of this but really you know putting in that effort and putting in the work
you do deserve it because you put in the effort you put in the work you did
things that people told you we're impossible people told you you couldn't
do things and you did that so everything that I'm talking about can be applied to
anything in life anything that you do not just video everything there's a
million different jobs out there there's a million different ways to make money
or whatever you're doing or whatever your passion is do not give up because
someone told you can't do it well told me that I wouldn't be able to date rate
people told me that it was impossible to day trade you couldn't make any money
day trading that you couldn't started you to about danger and you nobody would
ever watch my videos that was the best people told me that and I was like yeah
I'm gonna prove them wrong cuz that was what fueled me if you want me to do that
you know the comments the comments some of these comments are the best you know
that's what fuels me to do better that's what makes me want to make these videos
better and better and better for you guys as well as proving the haters wrong
so the haters can come along all they want they can leave the comments I love
it I need more leave comments all you got I want it
sort of make me work harder and harder to prove everyone wrong it told me I
couldn't do it the first place so I don't know where I'm gonna be in 10
years now but I got a lot of goals I got a lot of things I want to do in life and
I can't wait for someone to tell me that I can't do it because I'm gonna prove
them wrong cuz I will do it and I want to stress this to everybody out there
who has haters everybody who has someone who tells them they can't do something
if people tell you you can't do better or you can't work harder prove them
wrong and when you prove them wrong just sit there and smile cuz you will prove
them wrong in the long run if you do put in the effort if you do work hard and
they do and you can show them that the possibilities are endless when you
really put your mind to anything it's putting in the work it's putting in the
effort and doing things that you don't want to do today so you can do things
that you want to do tomorrow so there it is my theory on why haters why people
out there that tell you you can't do it are some of the best people out there
because they're the ones who are gonna make you want to prove them wrong
