Entrepreneurship is the ultimate self-improvement journey, pushing you to fix your weakest links until your business can thrive without you. Keep improving, and you'll build something that lasts.

Alright, so last time I messed up a formula in a video about young YouTube millionaires, and it ironically became our second most popular video with a million views. Despite that, I'm breaking my rule and sharing the real successful entrepreneur formula: 1. Be smart enough to see the opportunity 2. Dumb enough to start despite the odds 3. Persistent enough to keep going when it gets tough. All these powered by your willingness to look stupid in public. So spot the opportunity, pursue it des...

Real estate is an amazing way to build wealth and has made more millionaires than any other asset class. You don't need to be a genius to succeed, which is why so many people get into it. When asked why they pursue real estate, the answer is often "generational wealth." But there's more to it than just passing on assets. It's about creating a machine that generates wealth on its own and teaching the next generation how to use it. LEAVE A REVIEW if you liked this episode!...

Business success is all about working well with others. You need a strong team to grow your company. Hiring is crucial...if you do everything yourself, it's just a job, not a business. Invest in your team to make them better. Sure, they might leave eventually, but it's worse if they stay and don't grow. Remember, a motivated team makes a thriving business.

So, big news... Last week, my Instagram account got shut down. With 500+ posts and no way to talk to Meta, I was stuck. It hit me...if Instagram was my main lead source, I'd be in serious trouble. The takeaway? Use social platforms to drive traffic to your own media. Capture your audience’s info, build that email list, and protect your business from algorithm changes and account shutdowns. I did eventually get my account back, but it’s a stark reminder: diversify your channels. LEAVE A REVI...

Two years ago, I stumbled upon something that completely changed my perspective: a tweetstorm by Naval Ravikant titled "How to Get Rich Without Getting Lucky." Catchy, right? But it goes way beyond making money...it's about finding meaning, happiness, and alignment with who you are. This tweetstorm led me to "The Almanack of Naval Ravikant" by Eric Jorgenson. It's a goldmine of wisdom, compiling Naval's interviews, podcasts, and tweets. Whether you're look...

So, when it comes to growing your business, there are two schools of thought on competition. Some say, "Ignore it and focus on your lane." There's wisdom in that, but I'm in the second camp: pay attention and learn from your competitors. Dive into their ecosystem...buy their products, sign up for emails, analyze their strategies. This isn’t about copying; it’s about gaining inspiration and making informed decisions. Just be careful not to mimic blindly. Instead, adapt and tes...

Alright, let's talk about a recurring pattern I often see in students and entrepreneurs. Picture this: a feast and famine cycle in lead flow. Sound familiar? Many of us only prioritize marketing when it's a pressing need, like paying bills or filling up a program. But what if I told you there's a better way? It's about setting a standard of consistent action. By making marketing a daily discipline, you create a surplus of demand, which leads to better margins and growth oppor...

So, big revelation...creating content can transform your business, but the biggest obstacle is often yourself. The fear of judgment, of not being good enough, holds many back. Here’s my advice: first, compare your start to others' beginnings, not their polished present. Second, create a throwaway social media account and practice without fear. Build the muscle, gain confidence, and then go big. On the other side of this hurdle lies unlimited potential. LEAVE A REVIEW if you liked this episo...

So, here's a little secret to save your relationships: Always ask for permission before connecting people in your network. We've all heard 'your network is your net worth,'...but it's crucial to be intentional. Blindly making connections can waste time and damage friendships. Instead, reach out privately and get the green light first. Guard your time, be the gatekeeper of your attention, and prioritize what truly matters.
