build something you are proud of that people are willing to pay for
i don’t care if it’s
- art
- software
- food
- music
- a consumer good
if you have never done this you don’t know why capitalism works, and how it aligns incentives

My wife said something during the worst 6 months of my life that I'll never forget.
My Amazon account got suspended.
$1M/month in revenue gone overnight.
7 figures in debt.
Credit card bills stacking up with no way to pay them.
Inventory locked in FBA we couldn't sell.
Brands we had exclusive deals with asking why we stopped ordering.
Me and my partners sitting there trying to figure out how we were going to survive this.
And my wife pulls me aside and says:
"I'm honestly shocked none of you turned on each other yet."
Now THAT hit different.
Because she was right.
Rock bottom is when you find out who's really with you.
Most business partnerships fall apart the second money gets tight.
Guys start blaming each other.
Pointing fingers.
Looking for an exit.
We didn't do any of that sh*t.
We came together.
Figured out how to keep paying bills.
Kept the team employed.
Kept our brand partners happy.
And 6 months later, we were still standing.
Still together.
Still moving.
Partnerships aren't tested when you're winning.
They're tested when everything's FALLING APART and you have to decide if you're gonna point fingers or fix it.
Choose your partners like your life depends on it.
Because one day, it might.
If you are 22, stacking 80% of your income, building a business, and treating your parents’ house like a base camp for your future empire stay. That’s a strategy.
If you are 25, playing Warzone until 3 AM, letting your mom do your laundry, and spending your check on Uber Eats.. you are already expired. That’s parasitism.
By 25, you should feel the itch to leave.
By 27, staying should hurt your pride.
By 30, if you are still there, you aren’t a roommate; you’re a dependent.
You can’t become a king while living in another king’s castle.
You need to feel the pressure of bills, the silence of an empty apartment, and the reality that if *you* don’t buy the food, the fridge stays empty.
That pressure builds men. Comfort kills them.
how bad you want it man???
theres genuinely millions to be made
how can you NOT be hungry to succeed
i can’t be the only one thinking like this
so hungry that you’d rather work on your craft than sleep
so passionate that you forget to eat
jus wanting to be GREAT
Having a low risk tolerance just means you’re too incompetent to accurately assess risk.
95% of the time the safer route is the scarier one. You’ll be forced to mold into a capable person, which indirectly creates a true safety net.
Failure only exists for those who don’t try.
hitting your goals is extremely simple
just reverse engineer it
i want $100k in December
so i work backwards:
$100k ÷ 30 days = $3.3k/day
$3.3k ÷ $2k average deal = 1.65 deals/day
1.65 deals ÷ 25% close rate = 6.6 calls needed
6.6 calls ÷ 80% show rate = 8.25 booked calls
so my daily targets:
10 booked calls/day (buffer)
8 shows/day
$3.3k new cash/day
now reverse engineer the infrastructure needed to book 10 calls/day:
10 calls ÷ 0.13% conversion = 7,692 emails/day
our setup:
500 inboxes
7,500 emails/day capacity
simple one-liner offer
warm calling on interested replies
that's it
most people set big revenue goals then just "try harder"
i set revenue goals then build the infrastructure to make them inevitable
it's math
10 calls/day isn't hard when you're sending 7,500 emails/day
simples
My goal with Amazon for last 5 years has been this:
✨Generate as much magic internet money as possible✨
Not to build a passive business
Not to buy cars and material items
To stack now, and set up for the future.
Game plan is this:
1. Pay bills, take care of family
2. Reinvest majority back into biz for more product
3. Take remaining profits, invest into other assets (bitcoin, real estate, stocks)
I've been following this simple strategy for 5 years now
Retired my wife (stay at home mom)
Bought my dream home in California
Hold 6 figs in stocks & crypto
I don't say any of this to "flex" on the internet... I actually dislike talking about myself and my own accomplishments
I'm NOWHERE NEAR where I want to be yet.
But I would've NEVER thought I'd be here if I told my 2020 self this...
The game of business is actually quite simple.
Stick around long enough and everybody else will quit…
Stay patient, reinvest & take some chips off the table when necessary
5 years of daily work is all it takes.
