First of many. Wake up everyone! Can we stop the diphtheria vaccine too since nobody has died from it in 30 years? There are 50+ on the schedule and only a handful are important.

How to become successful in business: First, copy what works! Do what normal people have already done and succeeded at. Find an area where relatively average people succeed more often than not. Where 6 out of 10 or 7 out of 10 businesses make $$$ and the founders aren’t

Those professors forgot something important... Business is about momentum. The time to start that world changing business isn't as a 21 year old with wide eyes, no cash and no knowledge. 99% of the people who tried failed that route failed and went on to get jobs.

Most importantly... I learned how to hire, fire, manage, problem solve, delegate, finance expansion. I become a gritty entrepreneur who can get shit done. And now I'm in a better business, making WAY more money and having a ton of fun.

It was a pickup and delivery storage company for students when they went home from the summer. A brutally hard business. But we were profitable from day 1, learned a lot, owned 100% of it, never took serious financial risk and we made life changing money.

10+ years ago, in a college entrepreneurship class, I pitched my sweaty startup. They asked me what my "moat" was. "We'll answer the phone & do what we say we're going to do." They told me it was a bad idea and would never scale. We sold that business for 7 figures.

Making money is hard. Everyone on social media will act like it grows on trees and running a business is glamorous and stress-free. It isn't. The pressure is intense. You have families and people who depend on you to pay their rent. You have customers who are entitled and

Your job as the leader of a business is not to give you cell phone number to all 200 employees. It is not to sharpen the blades on a lawn mower. Anybody can do that. Your job is to manage the livelihood of all the employees with the right decisions at the top. NOBODY can do

When you’re in the weeds you miss a lot of the big stuff. When you don’t spend time thinking about the big picture you can’t make good decisions. You also get a false sense of productivity in the tactical areas of the business when it shouldn’t be your job. 99% of problems in

A lot of people think a good business leader should have an open door policy. Always there. Always involved. Always watching. I’m learning some of the best leaders are the opposite. Empowering others to the extreme and only involved in very high leverage activities.

One of the things I'll never understand: Business professionals spending $80k+ on a vehicle, country club, designer clothes etc... But running around with crooked teeth. Spend $5k on your smile! More trustworthy, more likable, and more business!
