Dan Martell - When should you have kids？

00:00:00.000 What do you think about having kids, like, young?

00:00:02.120 Truth is, is to get great at something, you just need hours.

00:00:04.400 You need f***ing reps.

00:00:05.340 So as soon as you have kids, you cut out 50% of your f***ing free time.

00:00:09.120 Being a great entrepreneur is no different than being an Olympic athlete.

00:00:11.300 If you're an Olympian and you're 20 and you have kids, it affects your sleep,

00:00:15.560 it affects your ability to train, it affects your mental state,

00:00:18.420 because your partner's probably going to be really f***ing pissed off at you

00:00:20.740 for training 22 hours a week, because they're going to feel you're super selfish,

00:00:23.520 which you are.

00:00:24.180 You're just not going to have the same edge as somebody that doesn't have kids.

00:00:27.260 The cool part is if you do it in your 20s and then you have kids when you're early 30s,

00:00:31.260 you'll have the resources to be able to buy back your time to not have that affect your life as

00:00:35.560 much. So I was 31, but I had the resources to have a house manager so that my wife and I could

00:00:40.360 actually be parents and still do the things we love and not have to worry about all the other

00:00:44.820 that unfortunately most people have to think about. And I wouldn't have been able to create

00:00:47.800 that resource if I spent my early 20s raising kids.
