Speaker:

I laugh every time I hear people saying, yeah, you know, I don't like

Speaker:

working for other people. So, you know, I want to work for myself because

Speaker:

I want to set my own hours. Yeah, right. When you work for

Speaker:

yourself, there's no Christmas, no Easter. There's

Speaker:

This is so true. You have to be a freaking warrior.

Speaker:

As a multiple seven-figure entrepreneur, what's been the best financial advice that you've ever

Speaker:

Ooh, if you haven't heard of this and you're self-employed, you need to implement the Augusta

Speaker:

rule. As long as it's for business, you can rent your house to your business and

Speaker:

That guy had some great advice. My only concern is the fact

Speaker:

that... I'm Matthew Fraser and this is

Speaker:

Amazon Ecom Secrets. I'll be sharing with you the secrets that

Speaker:

helped me go from millions in debt to an eight-figure

Speaker:

entrepreneur. If you're ready to escape the nine-to-five and live

Speaker:

life on your terms, let me show you the way. Hey, guys. Welcome

Speaker:

to Amazon Ecom Secrets. My name is Matthew Fraser. And today, the guys have

Speaker:

hit me up with some videos to do reactions to. So let's

Speaker:

jump in and see what is entailed today. Hopefully, something

Speaker:

People that are successful are the ones that are working on

Speaker:

the business. as opposed to in the business. So every time I

Speaker:

see an entrepreneur and I see that they're working in the business, I'm like, okay, you're not going

Speaker:

anywhere. You can't scale working in the business. You gotta think, how do I work on

Speaker:

this business to make it this kind of its own living, breathing

Speaker:

That's so true. I remember there was a pivotal moment in

Speaker:

my entrepreneurial career and I was getting coached

Speaker:

by someone and they said, look, you've got to now outsource this

Speaker:

stuff that you were doing on a day-to-day basis to somebody else.

Speaker:

And it was at that time that I hired a global operations

Speaker:

manager and said, hey, you take all this day-to-day work

Speaker:

that I'm doing and now you do it. And then, that helped

Speaker:

me grow my sales to over $50 million. All

Speaker:

Excuse me, sir. Quick question for you, man. Is this your Ferrari? Yeah.

Speaker:

And what do you do for living out in Los Angeles to be able to afford a Ferrari? I own my own consulting firm.

Speaker:

So you're a business owner? Yeah. And how long have you been an entrepreneur for? Six years. And

Speaker:

over these six years, what's been the most amount of money that you've ever made in a single year? Just over

Speaker:

about $7.1 million last year. $7 million? Yeah. I'm sitting in

Speaker:

a Ferrari right now. This is a lot of people's dream car. Tell me the story of how you bought this thing.

Speaker:

I'll be honest with you, I had already offsetted all my taxes for the year and

Speaker:

I just wanted a Christmas gift, so I just went and bought myself a Ferrari cash. When you don't

Speaker:

pay taxes, a lot of these types of purchases start to become a little bit different. So

Speaker:

you don't pay taxes? Oh no, I don't pay any taxes. Why is that? People say that

Speaker:

it's patriotic to pay taxes. It is not patriotic to pay taxes. It's

Speaker:

actually more patriotic to not pay taxes. The government has created

Speaker:

this tax system and it's a legal playbook for us to legally pay the

Speaker:

least amount of taxes possible. People need to wake up and utilize that book and

Speaker:

As a multiple seven-figure entrepreneur, what's been the best financial advice that you've ever

Speaker:

Ooh, if you haven't heard of this and you're self-employed, you need to implement the Augusta

Speaker:

Rule. As long as it's for business, you can rent your house to your business and

Speaker:

charge yourself a fee for it. That is an amazing tax strategy at the end of the year. What

Speaker:

are your thoughts on debt as a business owner? Oh, I love debt. I'm focused on trying

Speaker:

to increase my debt actively right now. And the reason why is because debt allows me

Speaker:

to buy more real estate and in return, I can use that real estate to offset my

Speaker:

taxable income. So I love debt. I'm a partner with the bank. I look at me and

Speaker:

Damn, I love this guy. He's not paying taxes. God.

Speaker:

If there was some way that I could not pay taxes in Australia legally,

Speaker:

then I definitely would because I hate paying taxes. That

Speaker:

guy had some great advice. My only concern is the fact that

Speaker:

he did $7.1 million in a single year. Shit,

Speaker:

I've done over $15 million in a single year and I didn't run out

Speaker:

and buy a Ferrari. The first thing I did was pay off my debt, the

Speaker:

bad debt. The second thing I did was go out and buy more

Speaker:

property. And then I bought a shit

Speaker:

ton of Bitcoin. So I think maybe this

Speaker:

guy's stepping ahead of himself by just running out and getting the Ferrari

Speaker:

first, but who knows. In any case, I did like how

Speaker:

he is upfront about his advice. He's doing well. I give

Speaker:

him props. for at least doing well

Speaker:

Amazon is being accused of tricking millions of people into

Speaker:

paying for Amazon Prime. The Federal Trade Commission is suing the

Speaker:

world's largest online retailer. It says Amazon knowingly

Speaker:

duped customers into signing up for a renewing of its

Speaker:

$139 a year Prime service and then made them jump through hoops to

Speaker:

cancel. Amazon says the FTC's claims are

Speaker:

They're so cheeky, aren't they? So what they're saying there is that, you know,

Speaker:

you've got a Prime program, which I admit has a lot of benefit. If

Speaker:

you're not on the Amazon Prime program, you should definitely sign up. But

Speaker:

what I hate is when they make it difficult to cancel. Very,

Speaker:

very sneaky, Amazon. Hey guys, I just want to break away from the

Speaker:

episode for just one moment and let you know that I've just launched the Amazon

Speaker:

Launchpad mini course. Now, this is designed for people who want to get started on

Speaker:

Amazon really, really fast. But guess what? I can get you launched

Speaker:

Speaker:

Speaker:

All right, thanks guys, and back to the episode. All right, let's check out this

Speaker:

next video. If you want to be financially independent someday, it's

Speaker:

Two homes and one car. The

Speaker:

average American gets two cars and one home. Here's a

Speaker:

good advice. Two homes and one car. You

Speaker:

God, is this guy actually talking to me or something? Is he going to go

Speaker:

at me? I've got like five cars in this shed alone of

Speaker:

the seven cars that I have in total, but I do have multiple properties

Speaker:

as well. So does that mean that I can have the more properties I have, I

Speaker:

can have more cars? Not sure. In any case, I

Speaker:

don't want to buy any more properties. I don't want to buy any more cars. I

Speaker:

just want to buy more Bitcoin. Oh, I can see this one. Dana White.

Speaker:

I laugh every time I hear people saying, yeah, you know, I don't like

Speaker:

working for other people. You know, I want to work for myself because

Speaker:

I want to set my own hours. Yeah, right. Let me tell you what, when you

Speaker:

work for yourself, there's no Christmas and no fucking Easter. There's

Speaker:

none of that shit when you work for yourself. In the early days, you're working through all

Speaker:

those holidays. Every day something bad happens. Every day

Speaker:

there's problems. Every day somebody's trying to

Speaker:

fuck you and take what you've built. It's a

Speaker:

This is so true. You have to be a freaking warrior

Speaker:

if you're going to go and be self-employed and run your own business.

Speaker:

No one gives a shit that you have a business. When

Speaker:

you're an employee, it's freaking amazing. You just show

Speaker:

up, do your 9 to 5, collect your paycheck, and you leave

Speaker:

the job behind. As a business owner, it's 24-7. But, the

Speaker:

reward could be much, much greater. And that's why I

Speaker:

Excuse me, sir. Quick question for you, man. Is this your G-Wagon? Yeah, it is. And

Speaker:

what do you do for a living, man? How are you able to afford a G-Wagon out in Houston, Texas? I started a

Speaker:

You've got to ask yourself, though, why would you even go buy a G-Wagon, hey?

Speaker:

How much money is that business going to generate you this year? We're doing like seven figures a month right now.

Speaker:

How old are you now? I'm 27. How old were you when you became a millionaire? 27. 27? Yeah.

Speaker:

That was this year. What keeps people broke in today's world? Ignorance. And ignorance is

Speaker:

not a demon, by the way. So I think for me, the way that you can collapse time

Speaker:

is knowledge. The best decision that I ever made was I stopped making decisions.

Speaker:

Everywhere that I wanted to go, someone had already gone. And so I just needed to

Speaker:

Going into 2024, what is the best industry that people should be looking to get into right

Speaker:

I mean, I'm biased. I would say cybersecurity, yeah, man. It's costing my country like

Speaker:

10% of its GDP, like hundreds of billions of dollars. So if you can be the kind

Speaker:

of person that goes into an organization and helps protect the organization, I

Speaker:

You'll get the money you're looking for. Among yourself and the most highly successful people that

Speaker:

Patrick Bette Davis said this, but only the paranoid survive. If you don't realize

Speaker:

that being stagnant is dying, I think you'll see like it just eventually like

Speaker:

Good things don't take time. I think that changed my life. And because most

Speaker:

people would say it takes 10 years, 15 years to get to these heights. You

Speaker:

Wow, I love this guy. I was just like captivated watching that video

Speaker:

to think what he has done by the age of 27. He

Speaker:

talked about being paranoid. Yeah, I know I don't want to say it, but yeah, I'm

Speaker:

paranoid that I don't have enough Bitcoin. This guy's incredible

Speaker:

and I love the fact that he's just gotten out there and made

Speaker:

a success of himself. I just hope he's not putting everything though into

Speaker:

the g-wagon. Okay guys I hope you enjoyed that episode of

Speaker:

me reacting to random videos and I think there was a key

Speaker:

thing there which was something's telling me that I need to go and

Speaker:

buy more Bitcoin mate. But anyway, let me know what

Speaker:

you think in the comments about any of those reactions,

Speaker:

or if you differ to my opinion, especially when it comes to

Speaker:

property and Bitcoin. All right, take care. Thanks
