Getting Rich is Easy
but there's a catch
getting “rich” is actually each - and hear me out on this one
making $1M at least in revenue, is pretty easy once you hit some baseline skills
the odds of you making $1M in like your first 3 years, if you actually work hard every day, I’d argue is pretty high
and that’s like phase 1, you’re not rich yet, but now you know how to make money and should have some money in the bank
but up until this point, you’ve done well, but you haven’t “done it all” yet
you don’t have the cars, watches, dream apartments, vacations, the whole nine
so now you’re doing say $50-$100k/mo, a great business and pretty successful
you have a winner on your hands
but now, it’s 100k/mo rev, 60k profit, and you’re distributing 50k to yourself to go buy all the stuff
the cars, watches, vacations, etc
all the sudden, your business is diminishing, you stopped doing the things that made you successful, instead of doing MORE of the things that made you successful
you chose to take $1 in profit for yourself instead of putting it back into the business and getting another $2-$3 back
and now maybe that business fizzles out, and you were a one trick pony
you aren’t actually a well rounded entrepreneur
well connected, multiple skills, owned distribution, you can’t just make money out of thin air, so you’re back at square one
I’ve seen this happen more times than I can count
I COULD have bought all the things 2 years ago, my car, my watch, everything
but instead, I put it ALL back into my business and my brand
and now, those assets pay for everything, I didn’t have to take much money out of my companies to afford these things
getting rich is easy, staying “rich” is much harder
be well rounded, hedge yourself with multiple skills, building a brand and owning distribution (a newsletter) and keep money in the business and live below your means
