Speaker:

what are you doing with your life

Speaker:

that sounds like bro

Speaker:

no hey

Speaker:

you be like what are you doing with your life bro

Speaker:

you're 20 years old you're

Speaker:

you have nothing you're working a fucking job

Speaker:

you're talking to all these girls like

Speaker:

stop talking to girls stop chasing dopamine

Speaker:

like I would just be like OK bro

Speaker:

OK bro

Speaker:

Mark thank you very much for coming

Speaker:

this whole business has been

Speaker:

I wouldn't say it's rainbow sunshine every single time

Speaker:

but I haven't had that point where like

Speaker:

I'm like like

Speaker:

I'm in too deep like

Speaker:

what do I do now I haven't had that yet

Speaker:

OK but I definitely do see myself having one of those

Speaker:

because if everyone if everyone's had it then oh it's

Speaker:

it's coming It'll happen to you

Speaker:

it's coming every entrepreneur feels this way right

Speaker:

you end up working more than a 9 to 5

Speaker:

on your own business oh yeah

Speaker:

wait a nine to 5

Speaker:

you work at eight hour maybe okay

Speaker:

nine hour shift there's days where I'm working 12 13

Speaker:

14 like

Speaker:

all day literally

Speaker:

because you're building something for yourself

Speaker:

comfortability has killed more dreams than like

Speaker:

laziness and lack of capital and lack of knowledge

Speaker:

that drive that push you to where you are at right now

Speaker:

it's not the same drive

Speaker:

that's gonna keep you in the game

Speaker:

exactly exactly

Speaker:

so you have to recalibrate

Speaker:

I don't feel like I'm meant for

Speaker:

just working a dead end job

Speaker:

in a sense right

Speaker:

I didn't know what that was

Speaker:

until I Learned all these other possibilities

Speaker:

that there's money out there online

Speaker:

money to make you just gotta learn that skill

Speaker:

I don't see why not take that risk

Speaker:

and just go all in and bet on yourself right

Speaker:

yeah if you fail

Speaker:

at least at least you tried

Speaker:

yeah you tried and you Learned

Speaker:

exactly you try and you learn

Speaker:

and not like Ricardo like

Speaker:

not everyone goes ahead

Speaker:

and actually takes that risk to learn

Speaker:

so a lot of people just stay comfortable

Speaker:

watch from the sidelines and just be like okay

Speaker:

like he's doing it he's gonna fail whatever

Speaker:

like once you make it they'll be like oh

Speaker:

he got lucky right

Speaker:

he's just one of those few people

Speaker:

but they don't see the back end

Speaker:

they don't see all those time

Speaker:

and hours put into the work

Speaker:

why not take that risk and just make it happen

Speaker:

do you think

Speaker:

you would have ended up where you are today

Speaker:

if it wasn't for having that person in your corner

Speaker:

especially in the beginning right

Speaker:

Mark thank you very much for coming

Speaker:

of course I appreciate it

Speaker:

I think we've been trying to do this for a while now

Speaker:

but I know you're a busy man

Speaker:

so tell me what is it that you do

Speaker:

yeah man

Speaker:

I mean to keep it simple

Speaker:

I'm a Amazon seller OK uh

Speaker:

officially became a six figure seller like a week ago

Speaker:

I've been doing Amazon for like six months now six

Speaker:

seven months mm hmm

Speaker:

and um

Speaker:

I just basically go to these retail stores right

Speaker:

or online shopping I find products for the low

Speaker:

and just flip them on Amazon

Speaker:

basically

Speaker:

a website that's just growing every single day

Speaker:

not as it come to be how did you find this

Speaker:

I actually saw it through a friend of mine

Speaker:

and he went ahead and taught me

Speaker:

and I'm very grateful for him right

Speaker:

he taught me all the basic foundations

Speaker:

uh how to get started

Speaker:

the skills to learn what to do

Speaker:

what not to do

Speaker:

and just been slowly mastering day by day

Speaker:

bro I know

Speaker:

when we met

Speaker:

maybe under a year ago you were telling me

Speaker:

that you were on the way to doing $10,000 a month

Speaker:

how has it been ever since

Speaker:

do I remember that we were at the gym yep

Speaker:

my my first goal was like

Speaker:

I'm gonna hit 10K that's my goal

Speaker:

mm hmm

Speaker:

and then I mean

Speaker:

I did it bro

Speaker:

I think my August I hit an 8K month

Speaker:

and then September my goal was 10 k

Speaker:

like I

Speaker:

what I like to do bro

Speaker:

I always I have a whiteboard right yeah

Speaker:

I like to write down my goals every single month okay

Speaker:

the beginning of the month

Speaker:

I'll be like these are my goals

Speaker:

I'm gonna hit this hit this

Speaker:

hit this I believe in like

Speaker:

manifestation just

Speaker:

like word yeah

Speaker:

affirmation yeah

Speaker:

very heavy on that that's what I did

Speaker:

I ended up um

Speaker:

writing my goals I'm gonna hit 10K this month

Speaker:

September 25 and then looking at that every single day

Speaker:

putting in the work putting in the hours

Speaker:

you know finding the right products

Speaker:

doing all that stuff before I even knew it

Speaker:

I had surpassed that I was at 15 k yeah

Speaker:

and I was like no way right yeah

Speaker:

and then I ended that month at 25 k okay

Speaker:

and then what happened I was like

Speaker:

it's true bro

Speaker:

like this is real

Speaker:

like that changed my whole perception on like

Speaker:

online money and like

Speaker:

actually

Speaker:

it's it just showed me that

Speaker:

it's possible to accomplish something

Speaker:

if you put your head like

Speaker:

head and mind into it you know what I mean

Speaker:

yeah and ever since then

Speaker:

25 k and then October

Speaker:

same thing it came around

Speaker:

um I think it was like no September 30th

Speaker:

31st I forgot whatever the last day is right

Speaker:

and I wrote my goals I'm gonna hit a 30 k month

Speaker:

and I did I think I did 31 k

Speaker:

mm hmm same thing

Speaker:

and then November I uh

Speaker:

I got my car I got my

Speaker:

my dream car my Supra

Speaker:

the Supra bro

Speaker:

which same thing bro

Speaker:

it's just it's crazy

Speaker:

like you tell yourself you're gonna do something

Speaker:

and you believe it and

Speaker:

you know show up and do the work for it

Speaker:

ends up happening I remember I told myself

Speaker:

I'm gonna get to Supra before the

Speaker:

before the year ends yeah

Speaker:

I wasn't even doing Amazon back then

Speaker:

when I gave myself that goal

Speaker:

it was like February

Speaker:

I was like somehow

Speaker:

one way or another

Speaker:

I'm gonna have a super by the end of the year

Speaker:

and that opportunity came around November

Speaker:

I did it and I'm just very grateful

Speaker:

in the position I'm in right now

Speaker:

every single day I just like to grow grow

Speaker:

I think this month I'm on pace to hit a record month

Speaker:

I'm at like

Speaker:

18K 18 k so far

Speaker:

we're the 15th damn

Speaker:

so hopefully fingers crossed 40

Speaker:

hopefully maybe 40

Speaker:

yeah man

Speaker:

what what does it take to sell on Amazon

Speaker:

cause I know for a fact like

Speaker:

I haven't personally but I know friends that have tried

Speaker:

maybe did a couple sells like

Speaker:

here and there every week

Speaker:

and then that was about it

Speaker:

and then never heard from it again

Speaker:

I think like

Speaker:

what does it actually take to succeed

Speaker:

I think um

Speaker:

discipline for sure right

Speaker:

cause not every single day is gonna be a amazing day

Speaker:

right uh

Speaker:

there's days where I for example

Speaker:

right now this December

Speaker:

I've been averaging like $1,000 plus uh

Speaker:

sales every single day uh

Speaker:

but the last two days I've done

Speaker:

I'll be honest um

Speaker:

I've done like I did three

Speaker:

60 I think two days ago

Speaker:

and then yesterday I did like 800 wow

Speaker:

don't get me wrong it's still like

Speaker:

I know me like when I first started

Speaker:

I would have been like praying for like 300 dollar days

Speaker:

300 dollar days yeah

Speaker:

yeah yeah

Speaker:

and then um

Speaker:

it's just like

Speaker:

not every single day is gonna be amazing day

Speaker:

mm hmm so

Speaker:

I think

Speaker:

what tends to happen with a lot of people who begin

Speaker:

they expect too much like straight out the bat okay

Speaker:

they just wanna get you know

Speaker:

all these numbers all these numbers

Speaker:

all these numbers

Speaker:

and then they'll run into like

Speaker:

those slow slow days or these roadblocks maybe uh

Speaker:

it's a product game right

Speaker:

you find good profitable products

Speaker:

and let's say one day they wake up and the product

Speaker:

that listen's gone right

Speaker:

cause sometimes that tends to happen

Speaker:

the listen will just either get tanked

Speaker:

meaning the seller will get on it

Speaker:

another seller and just tank the prices

Speaker:

the margins are gone

Speaker:

let's say I bought like 30 units of that product

Speaker:

expecting to like make

Speaker:

I don't know like $5 profit

Speaker:

and then I wake up one day

Speaker:

another seller is doing tank the price by like $10

Speaker:

now my profit's like a dollar

Speaker:

and I have 30 units lying around

Speaker:

so a lot of people give up

Speaker:

when they run into those kind of roadblocks

Speaker:

so what I like to say is

Speaker:

it's always worth it to invest in yourself

Speaker:

and learn from someone who's already done it

Speaker:

okay and

Speaker:

what tends to happen with a lot of people who give up

Speaker:

either they 1

Speaker:

they got lazy or number two

Speaker:

they just never actually invested into themselves

Speaker:

and into like

Speaker:

a mentorship right

Speaker:

you could say someone who's been there

Speaker:

done it experienced the roadblocks

Speaker:

experienced all the errors

Speaker:

and Learned from it

Speaker:

and now they can help you avoid all those beginner uh

Speaker:

beginner rookie mistakes

Speaker:

so that's what I did right

Speaker:

I had a I had a mentor

Speaker:

his name is Faraj he helped me out a lot

Speaker:

avoiding the beginner mistakes

Speaker:

because I know other people who tried it right

Speaker:

people who told me as well

Speaker:

yeah like bro

Speaker:

it's not gonna work out like

Speaker:

you're gonna run into this

Speaker:

you're not gonna be able to list products

Speaker:

cause Amazon it's all about uh

Speaker:

ungating and gating basically

Speaker:

if you can sell it or if you can't sell that brand

Speaker:

right hmm

Speaker:

and they're like yeah

Speaker:

like 99% of the items you're gated for

Speaker:

it's worth it's not worth your time

Speaker:

you're gonna spend way too much time trying to like

Speaker:

sell your first products

Speaker:

but there's a people who just either never tried it

Speaker:

or just tried like you said

Speaker:

and then gave up hmm

Speaker:

so I think it just comes down to my discipline

Speaker:

willing to put in the work

Speaker:

and just show up on the days where like

Speaker:

it's even it feels like the end of the world

Speaker:

like you're not making progress

Speaker:

because at the end of the day

Speaker:

if you show up every single day

Speaker:

you're bound for success right

Speaker:

yeah exactly

Speaker:

so hundred percent

Speaker:

it's it's interesting cause you talk about like

Speaker:

how mean like in the beginning you did the 10 k

Speaker:

20 k 30 k

Speaker:

now you're hoping to do 40 k

Speaker:

yeah I know

Speaker:

that scale just basically means

Speaker:

either sell more product or work on the marketing way

Speaker:

marketing wise but

Speaker:

don't you think that only relying on a single channel

Speaker:

being Amazon is kind of like jeopardizing

Speaker:

um the whole way of the business working

Speaker:

would it would not

Speaker:

like maybe opening up to a different channel

Speaker:

maybe like either eBay or starting like

Speaker:

an own website would work better

Speaker:

yeah 100%

Speaker:

I mean the like

Speaker:

the way I see it bro

Speaker:

is like I wanna master this skill the most I can first

Speaker:

OK learn everything there is to it

Speaker:

and then maximize my profit off it right

Speaker:

my end goal with Amazon is to eventually have my own

Speaker:

have it fully automated right

Speaker:

have my own warehouse have my own workers

Speaker:

uh meaning

Speaker:

like someone who ships out my orders

Speaker:

packages the orders prints out the labels

Speaker:

basically I want to get to the point where all I

Speaker:

all I say or do is just yes

Speaker:

let's buy that product no

Speaker:

let's not buy that product

Speaker:

do this do that

Speaker:

don't do that don't do this right

Speaker:

mm hmm but I definitely do see myself

Speaker:

with 2026 around the corner

Speaker:

I have some goals definitely

Speaker:

I wanna expand

Speaker:

I'd like I'm for sure gonna do e commerce

Speaker:

right OK

Speaker:

now that I'm doing Amazon

Speaker:

like that's my thing

Speaker:

e commerce OK

Speaker:

I wanna explore Walmart

Speaker:

Walmart's also a great platform to sell stuff

Speaker:

so I wanna dive a little bit into that

Speaker:

and there's this new

Speaker:

I don't know if you've heard about whatnot

Speaker:

have you heard about that

Speaker:

I've heard about whatnot I'm not sure what it is though

Speaker:

yeah me

Speaker:

I'll be it's

Speaker:

I don't really know much to it

Speaker:

but apparently a lot a lot of Amazon sellers

Speaker:

Walmart sellers are

Speaker:

or eBay sellers are on it simply to liquidate items

Speaker:

let's say liquidate items yeah

Speaker:

what I mean by that is like

Speaker:

let's say Halloween right

Speaker:

Halloween one of my biggest sellers

Speaker:

my best sellers was Halloween costumes

Speaker:

like these like Marvel costumes

Speaker:

Spider Man costumes I sold maybe

Speaker:

like 200

Speaker:

300 units of those and let's say I have like

Speaker:

2030 leftover obviously

Speaker:

they're not selling out cause Halloween's over

Speaker:

yeah so the demand's not there

Speaker:

but I have it at home so what I

Speaker:

what you would do what these other sellers are doing

Speaker:

is they get on whatnot which is like a live stream

Speaker:

and in these live streams

Speaker:

you just go live and offer the items you have

Speaker:

and people just bid for it and buy it

Speaker:

so it's just a way to quickly get rid of items

Speaker:

just sitting there so it's like what eBay was basically

Speaker:

I guess yeah

Speaker:

I mean I never really sold on eBay

Speaker:

I think I tried when I was younger

Speaker:

bro I don't know

Speaker:

if you've ever had your drop shipping phase

Speaker:

when you were younger I

Speaker:

so it's funny cause it was um

Speaker:

I think it was actually my dad who showed me some guy

Speaker:

like a

Speaker:

advertising a course for dropshipping with Shopify

Speaker:

really and I dove into it for like

Speaker:

a little bit and then I was like

Speaker:

this probably not for me ha ha

Speaker:

yeah no

Speaker:

I remember I was uh

Speaker:

I was 15 years old it was quarantine

Speaker:

mm hmm so I was at home playing video games

Speaker:

and I would just see all these like

Speaker:

dropshippers on my feed on YouTube and stuff

Speaker:

and I was like let me give it a shot

Speaker:

I didn't really learn too much about it

Speaker:

but I remember uh

Speaker:

you know Facebook Marketplace

Speaker:

yeah so what I did is I found these

Speaker:

at that time I was getting into fitness

Speaker:

like the gym I was just starting out

Speaker:

and I didn't go to a gym like

Speaker:

I didn't do weights or anything

Speaker:

I would just simply run every single day

Speaker:

and I had those like weighted um bands right

Speaker:

the okay bands

Speaker:

yeah yeah yeah

Speaker:

so I was like I use this

Speaker:

I thought about was like

Speaker:

there's probably other people like me who want this

Speaker:

right so okay

Speaker:

many product so what I did is I listed um

Speaker:

I went on YouTube

Speaker:

Learned a little bit on how to dropship

Speaker:

through Facebook okay

Speaker:

which is pretty simple um

Speaker:

I just didn't stick to it because I was 15

Speaker:

I was just play had

Speaker:

all my other priorities were video games and friends

Speaker:

but what I did was I got those

Speaker:

what I would do is I would list on marketplace

Speaker:

these pictures of the resistance bands right

Speaker:

and I only offered shipping

Speaker:

I didn't offer like

Speaker:

come pick up to my house or this location

Speaker:

I only offered shipping and what I would do is

Speaker:

anytime someone would place an order

Speaker:

from the marketplace through Facebook

Speaker:

I would go ahead obviously

Speaker:

I get their information when they place an order

Speaker:

I get their name and I get their address

Speaker:

I would go on eBay eBay would be like my Alibaba right

Speaker:

I would go on eBay and I'd buy it off eBay for like

Speaker:

10 bucks and I was selling it on Facebook for like

Speaker:

I think it was like 25 or 30

Speaker:

30 really

Speaker:

yeah for resistance bands

Speaker:

yeah

Speaker:

it was like a crack of like 12 or something like that

Speaker:

okay yeah yes

Speaker:

I was only for like 25

Speaker:

and so all I would do is every time I would get

Speaker:

so on marketplace

Speaker:

I would go on eBay and place that order

Speaker:

and send it straight to the

Speaker:

to the guy whoever ordered through marketplace

Speaker:

to their address

Speaker:

so basically it's like they ordered from eBay

Speaker:

but I'm just like the middleman

Speaker:

yeah yeah

Speaker:

so that's what I did okay

Speaker:

I had I think that lasted me like a week and a half

Speaker:

I cause I what

Speaker:

I'll be honest what

Speaker:

like demotivated me cause I

Speaker:

I did that I did the resistance bands

Speaker:

I did guitar straps cause I'm very

Speaker:

very big into music OK

Speaker:

I do piano I do guitar

Speaker:

all that stuff

Speaker:

I'm like a family band with my uncle and stuff

Speaker:

so I was like uh

Speaker:

I'll do let me try selling some guitar stuff

Speaker:

I tried these guitar picks

Speaker:

I think I sold like two of those

Speaker:

same thing through the eBay

Speaker:

Facebook method and then I did uh

Speaker:

what messed me up was I did these leather guitar straps

Speaker:

okay and I got

Speaker:

I think I got like 3 4 orders

Speaker:

and they were all horrible reviews

Speaker:

they're like don't buy from me

Speaker:

oh you didn't check the reviews

Speaker:

yeah yeah yeah

Speaker:

so like when they

Speaker:

when the customer received their order

Speaker:

from me they ended up being

Speaker:

I think they expected like

Speaker:

high quality premium leather

Speaker:

it was like cheap

Speaker:

horrible leather so that was like

Speaker:

my mistake I should have bought it first and like

Speaker:

review the product myself first

Speaker:

but I think that's what like

Speaker:

opened my mind in the beginning to like

Speaker:

there's possibility out there to like

Speaker:

make online money I was 15

Speaker:

gave up uh 16 17

Speaker:

18 19

Speaker:

I'm 20 now and I guess five years later

Speaker:

I actually picked it up

Speaker:

and now I'm actually committed to it

Speaker:

damn yeah bro

Speaker:

but I think we've all had that little phase

Speaker:

where we want to try something when we're young

Speaker:

yeah yeah

Speaker:

I mean in my case I think

Speaker:

the clothes I've ever been to

Speaker:

that was I've never really shipped anything out

Speaker:

I was always the one that was either like

Speaker:

reselling shoes or at some point

Speaker:

reselling candy reselling candy

Speaker:

reselling candy but how do you do that

Speaker:

yeah so that

Speaker:

that's the sketchy part you know

Speaker:

you would just I would um

Speaker:

I would go to five below hmm

Speaker:

I would grab a bag of just full of candy

Speaker:

okay but then I would grab another bag full of candy

Speaker:

and just pay for one how

Speaker:

I don't know how it worked out

Speaker:

but it worked out for it worked out for a long time

Speaker:

and I would sell candy that way

Speaker:

but I don't know I would

Speaker:

I just never

Speaker:

where would you resell it at school

Speaker:

oh so it's like a school

Speaker:

yeah you're like that kid with the backpack

Speaker:

like come on

Speaker:

literally literally just anything from

Speaker:

from candy to snacks and it was just

Speaker:

my little brother did that when he was in sixth grade

Speaker:

like three years ago yeah and

Speaker:

and cause um

Speaker:

people would come up to me and be like

Speaker:

well I'm not paying $3 for a bag of Cheetos

Speaker:

I'm just like alright

Speaker:

then you can walk your ass to like 7 11 and go get them

Speaker:

and they're like alright bro

Speaker:

so it's like uh

Speaker:

selling out of convenience

Speaker:

selling out of um

Speaker:

like uh

Speaker:

the demand like

Speaker:

you know supply and demand and stuff

Speaker:

so talking about supply and demand

Speaker:

how do you know which products are going to

Speaker:

either have the potential to pop off

Speaker:

or which ones do you know

Speaker:

are the ones are probably not

Speaker:

because there's like a million

Speaker:

a thousand like thousands of products

Speaker:

yeah so

Speaker:

hey real quick

Speaker:

if you're still watching or listening congratulations

Speaker:

you don't have the attention span of a goldfish

Speaker:

and it also seems like you like what you're listening

Speaker:

or watching so why not subscribe

Speaker:

leave a comment like or if you're in a podcast platform

Speaker:

leave us a review it helps us out more than you think

Speaker:

alright let's get back into it

Speaker:

so what we do right

Speaker:

is something called sourcing

Speaker:

so sourcing is basically

Speaker:

we have this software it's called selleramp

Speaker:

the software itself

Speaker:

actually gives us analysis on the product

Speaker:

let's say this drink right here

Speaker:

yeah I can check

Speaker:

I can open up on the software if it's on Amazon right

Speaker:

if there's a listing on Amazon

Speaker:

and I can see all the previous history for like

Speaker:

the past year or two years

Speaker:

all time history right

Speaker:

how it's been selling throughout the months

Speaker:

throughout the past three years

Speaker:

okay I see what you mean

Speaker:

and then there's like there's so much to it

Speaker:

but basically you would just focus on like

Speaker:

looking at the actual history

Speaker:

if it's a if it's sales

Speaker:

if it's a seasonal or if it's a year round product now

Speaker:

I guess more so supply and demand

Speaker:

especially since a Q4 Q4

Speaker:

the holidays right

Speaker:

we have like imagine Halloween

Speaker:

Thanksgiving and Christmas

Speaker:

yeah so like

Speaker:

imagine Halloween I already knew

Speaker:

I think we all know like

Speaker:

pumpkin themed stuff everyone goes crazy for

Speaker:

so when Halloween came around

Speaker:

I was like okay

Speaker:

I know what I'm gonna sell

Speaker:

I'm gonna look I'm

Speaker:

I know what I'm gonna source for what

Speaker:

I'm gonna do my research for what kind of products

Speaker:

I did candy

Speaker:

Halloween costumes and pumpkin flavored items

Speaker:

right right

Speaker:

baking stuff or uh

Speaker:

cookies or whatever yeah

Speaker:

so that's what I would that's what I had in mind

Speaker:

I was like alright

Speaker:

I'm gonna do this I'm gonna do this

Speaker:

I'm gonna look for these kind of products

Speaker:

and don't get me wrong like

Speaker:

it's not like I found the products instantly

Speaker:

it took me like I guess like the first two weeks

Speaker:

so seven days 14 days of like

Speaker:

actually sourcing

Speaker:

and going through thousands of different products

Speaker:

cause Amazon millions of products out there

Speaker:

and having to check the seller history

Speaker:

the good thing about it is

Speaker:

on October

Speaker:

I actually had hired my first employee by then right

Speaker:

my virtual assistant so at the same time

Speaker:

I was training her how to find products

Speaker:

how to source right

Speaker:

everything I knew I was training her

Speaker:

so it was her and I working together

Speaker:

yeah she would find products

Speaker:

I review it with her every single day

Speaker:

we get on a call like at ten PM and okay

Speaker:

good job on this product why did

Speaker:

why you did that why you didn't

Speaker:

why you you know

Speaker:

how you could improve

Speaker:

and together we just found really good products

Speaker:

we ended up finding costumes

Speaker:

candies and that's

Speaker:

everyone would always talk about how on Amazon

Speaker:

during Q4 there's a lot of big sellers

Speaker:

or a lot of sellers out there who like

Speaker:

hide throughout the rest of the year

Speaker:

and they just come out for Q4

Speaker:

because Q4 is the most profitable time of the year

Speaker:

everyone's buying and

Speaker:

you know

Speaker:

if everyone's buying and there's sales going on

Speaker:

why not be the middle man and take advantage of the

Speaker:

some profit that's in there right

Speaker:

hmm so I knew that starting a October

Speaker:

September that on October

Speaker:

I'm gonna go ahead and look for this kind of demand

Speaker:

on price like a Halloween items

Speaker:

November

Speaker:

I was like okay

Speaker:

we got Thanksgiving right

Speaker:

yep so a lot of baking needs a lot of right

Speaker:

kitchen cooking stuff okay

Speaker:

so I remember I was selling stuffing

Speaker:

I was selling a a canned sweet potatoes

Speaker:

yeah from like

Speaker:

the Dollar Tree I was getting from like

Speaker:

a dollar and selling them like

Speaker:

in the 12 pack for like $20

Speaker:

yeah and just a lot of

Speaker:

a lot of stuff like that right

Speaker:

like it was

Speaker:

it was a pretty slow month

Speaker:

I guess for me

Speaker:

compared to like I said

Speaker:

I hit 31K October and then November

Speaker:

I think it ended at like 26 27

Speaker:

something like that and um

Speaker:

December has been I think

Speaker:

like I said the best month

Speaker:

but that's cause I know what to look for right

Speaker:

it's a hot it's Christmas

Speaker:

yeah Christmas

Speaker:

so toys are going crazy right now

Speaker:

candies like

Speaker:

you know how like

Speaker:

every store target

Speaker:

comes out with like

Speaker:

these peppermint candies or Hershey's like

Speaker:

Christmas variation candies

Speaker:

yeah so I'm like

Speaker:

I'm selling a lot of those candies

Speaker:

uh toys

Speaker:

uh boys

Speaker:

both boy toys

Speaker:

girl toys are doing a lot

Speaker:

yeah and if I could

Speaker:

the thing is like I mentioned earlier

Speaker:

there's something called gating right

Speaker:

mm hmm

Speaker:

so when you're gated for a specific product or category

Speaker:

you can't sell it you gotta get approved for it

Speaker:

from who

Speaker:

from from Amazon

Speaker:

just has to show do you gotta show Amazon

Speaker:

that you have proof that the brand

Speaker:

let's say the brand um

Speaker:

to to

Speaker:

to to

Speaker:

I don't know what's a clothing brand

Speaker:

like a random we'll just say Goodfellow from target

Speaker:

right Goodfellow

Speaker:

I love Goodfellow yeah

Speaker:

nice shirts yeah

Speaker:

let's say Goodfellow from target

Speaker:

I wanna sell their

Speaker:

that they came out with like Christmas themed PJs

Speaker:

alright let's say I wanna sell that

Speaker:

but on Amazon it's on Amazon

Speaker:

but it says gated you're restricted

Speaker:

I got a request approval

Speaker:

and normally you submit an invoice

Speaker:

which is like a receipt OK

Speaker:

and it shows that you've bought it

Speaker:

that you bought this external

Speaker:

cause it's gonna ask um

Speaker:

we need proof that you bought at least like

Speaker:

10 or 20 units from this brand

Speaker:

and then you send that you gotta buy 10

Speaker:

20 units from that brand and then send it over

Speaker:

what tends to happen is it's like a fifty fifty

Speaker:

sometimes you won't get accepted

Speaker:

and sometimes there's brands who like

Speaker:

you actually need like authority from them

Speaker:

like you gotta go out and get it and uh

Speaker:

email the brand be like hey

Speaker:

I wanna buy I wanna sell this product through

Speaker:

you have to tag your small store

Speaker:

like me who just started for six months

Speaker:

they're gonna ignore you

Speaker:

they're not gonna care about you

Speaker:

yeah like we have bigger wholesalers doing our right

Speaker:

giving us more numbers

Speaker:

so there's a lot of missed opportunities out there

Speaker:

but I mean

Speaker:

my goal is to eventually be able to sell those brands

Speaker:

so that's it just ties it all back to

Speaker:

I wanna just keep scaling

Speaker:

and growing this whole business

Speaker:

to the point where like

Speaker:

I'm at a wholesale level um

Speaker:

spending thousands on like

Speaker:

one product and I just have a lot more reputation

Speaker:

and more sale history with Amazon

Speaker:

and these other wholesalers

Speaker:

and these companies where I'm just

Speaker:

you know it's automated

Speaker:

and I'm making a lot more money

Speaker:

yeah so yeah

Speaker:

I like I like it said

Speaker:

there's just a lot of brands out there that's like

Speaker:

50 50 you can sell

Speaker:

if not sell if you can't sell

Speaker:

um

Speaker:

you're missing out on sales

Speaker:

you're missing out on profit

Speaker:

but it's not the end of the world

Speaker:

just just go ahead and find out the products right

Speaker:

that's what I tell all my students

Speaker:

to what I'm actually mentoring

Speaker:

there's they

Speaker:

they're like find products

Speaker:

and like Yo

Speaker:

I just found the banger product

Speaker:

and they can't sell it they try apply for it hmm

Speaker:

and then some of them are like bro

Speaker:

this is I actually have one of my students

Speaker:

he was like he was this close to giving up right

Speaker:

he's like uh

Speaker:

he's only been doing it for a week

Speaker:

and he's like Yo bro

Speaker:

I can't find a single product

Speaker:

I was like bro

Speaker:

trust me I've been in your situation

Speaker:

cause I guess

Speaker:

some people expect

Speaker:

that you're gonna go ahead and hand them everything

Speaker:

right but yeah

Speaker:

we both know nothing in life is free nothing

Speaker:

no one's gonna hand you anything

Speaker:

or if they do okay

Speaker:

like yeah

Speaker:

I guess in a way you're cheating

Speaker:

yourself

Speaker:

cause you're not learning the skill to actually find it

Speaker:

yeah you know

Speaker:

so when I told my mentee I was like

Speaker:

yeah dude

Speaker:

so like let's get on a call

Speaker:

let's see how you're sourcing

Speaker:

and let me evaluate how you're doing it

Speaker:

and obviously he was doing some mistakes

Speaker:

I corrected him and a week now he's getting sales in

Speaker:

you know he's actually getting like 2

Speaker:

3 products up he's doing

Speaker:

he's doing good

Speaker:

and probably one of my best students right now

Speaker:

that's crazy yeah bro

Speaker:

I mean it's just motivation and discipline

Speaker:

motivation and discipline

Speaker:

I have a quick question going back to uh

Speaker:

sourcing products cause I would always think

Speaker:

I would always think this

Speaker:

you know thinking about it from a business perspective

Speaker:

mm hmm when you see something

Speaker:

for example on the shelves right

Speaker:

yeah let's just say you see a T-shirt

Speaker:

20 bucks okay

Speaker:

uh in my mind I'm like okay

Speaker:

they probably bought this for like eight dollars from

Speaker:

from like the wholesaler

Speaker:

and they're putting in the tax

Speaker:

and like they're actually maybe making like

Speaker:

I don't know three

Speaker:

four dollars on the shirt

Speaker:

and then you go online and you see like

Speaker:

like a seller you know

Speaker:

like an independent seller

Speaker:

not from the actual brand

Speaker:

like for example on Amazon

Speaker:

but then you see it a little bit cheaper OK

Speaker:

and it's like

Speaker:

do sellers have access

Speaker:

I know you probably touched on it

Speaker:

maybe I missed it do

Speaker:

do sellers have the opportunity to become

Speaker:

to have to get wholesale pricing from brands

Speaker:

or is this more like a partnership deal

Speaker:

um so let me

Speaker:

let me demand like this right

Speaker:

so what I focus on right now

Speaker:

is something called arbitrage

Speaker:

okay so retail arbitrage

Speaker:

online arbitrage basically

Speaker:

retail arbitrage I'll go to

Speaker:

like a discount store

Speaker:

say Ross or Marshalls

Speaker:

you know what Marshalls is

Speaker:

I'll buy a candy that's there that I can sell yeah

Speaker:

I'll buy like

Speaker:

these chocolates for $5 and sell them

Speaker:

I'm yeah

Speaker:

you know I'll be able to sell

Speaker:

sell them online on Amazon

Speaker:

that's arbitrage yeah

Speaker:

same thing online instead of going in person

Speaker:

I'm just doing it online yeah

Speaker:

ordering on orders online

Speaker:

products online they come to my house

Speaker:

easier for me right hmm

Speaker:

and then there's the next step is wholesale

Speaker:

so wholesale you would actually

Speaker:

there's two ways to go about it that I know of okay

Speaker:

I think one is you actually go ahead and

Speaker:

let's say reach out to Hershey's

Speaker:

the chocolate yeah

Speaker:

you reach out to them but

Speaker:

your chances of getting accepted by a big time brand

Speaker:

like Hershey's are very slim

Speaker:

very slim very slim

Speaker:

very basically nothing

Speaker:

exactly right

Speaker:

or you can go the other route

Speaker:

where you go you reach out to these wholesalers

Speaker:

who have access to Hershey right

Speaker:

because they're big wholesalers right

Speaker:

and they give you their catalog

Speaker:

their items you can go ahead and buy through them

Speaker:

mm hmm but there's something called MOQ right

Speaker:

so you're it's not like you can just buy like 10 20

Speaker:

you gotta order at least like

Speaker:

a bulk yeah

Speaker:

big a big

Speaker:

I mean it's wholesale right

Speaker:

a big amount which cost more capital

Speaker:

obviously you're gonna spend maybe like

Speaker:

two to three grand on just one product

Speaker:

okay so I think that's the wholesale part

Speaker:

then after wholesale comes brand direct

Speaker:

which is in a sense

Speaker:

just working like you mentioned

Speaker:

one on one with the actual brand

Speaker:

okay that's also pretty hard to get into

Speaker:

yeah but

Speaker:

I mean there's thousands and thousands

Speaker:

and hundreds of thousands of brands

Speaker:

you could go ahead and you know

Speaker:

maybe apply with like

Speaker:

a smaller brand that's getting some sales in

Speaker:

and be like hey

Speaker:

I would like to sell your product

Speaker:

can we work a brand direct deal out

Speaker:

it's gonna be you're gonna get a lot of no's probably

Speaker:

but at the end of the day

Speaker:

there's always someone that's gonna say yes

Speaker:

mm hmm and then through that

Speaker:

you go you take that opportunity

Speaker:

you grow from that and then eventually

Speaker:

you'll have different people saying yes to you right

Speaker:

you'll have like

Speaker:

a portfolio built up I've worked with this brand

Speaker:

worked with this brand I wanna work with you

Speaker:

that's brand direct and then there's like the

Speaker:

the big boy the big shark of the mall

Speaker:

it's private label oh okay

Speaker:

I don't know if you have ever heard of private label

Speaker:

I've heard I don't know what it is though

Speaker:

yeah so

Speaker:

private label is basically

Speaker:

when you create your own company okay

Speaker:

you trademark your own company

Speaker:

you get your products from overseas

Speaker:

let's say Alibaba

Speaker:

China from those

Speaker:

from manufacturers right

Speaker:

and um

Speaker:

let's say I'm selling a pair of goggles right

Speaker:

I want I want to make my own brand

Speaker:

obviously requires a lot a lot more capital too

Speaker:

and it takes like

Speaker:

three to four months of back end work

Speaker:

before you can actually go ahead and post it on Amazon

Speaker:

and get sales and that's why I started off at arbitrage

Speaker:

because I can I mean

Speaker:

like I said my mentees

Speaker:

my students you can start selling the week after right

Speaker:

like in a couple days you learn the skills

Speaker:

seriously you can start selling like this

Speaker:

obviously you can't do that with like

Speaker:

the big the big boy

Speaker:

like the yeah

Speaker:

top of course

Speaker:

private label like I said

Speaker:

it takes up like three to four months of back in work

Speaker:

but basically

Speaker:

obviously your profit margins are a lot higher

Speaker:

mm hmm you

Speaker:

at the end of the day you own your own brand

Speaker:

you have your own store like

Speaker:

you actually have a physical uh

Speaker:

store on the website on Amazon that says like

Speaker:

I don't know

Speaker:

let's say see less is goggles or something like that

Speaker:

right no one else

Speaker:

can see that sell that product

Speaker:

only I can yeah

Speaker:

and the thing is

Speaker:

there's so much more back in work to it right

Speaker:

you gotta run your ads yeah

Speaker:

you gotta do all that uh promoting

Speaker:

sponsoring cause if you're not the middleman anymore

Speaker:

exactly uh huh

Speaker:

cause if you just launch a product out of nowhere

Speaker:

no one knows who you are

Speaker:

then you're just gonna lose money

Speaker:

so I mean

Speaker:

that's also something I you know

Speaker:

I could see myself getting into

Speaker:

like three years from now

Speaker:

but I definitely want to go like this right

Speaker:

I want right

Speaker:

like I said January 2026

Speaker:

I'm gonna take that year to learn wholesale

Speaker:

hopefully get into wholesaling

Speaker:

and then from there brand direct

Speaker:

maybe towards the end I know during Q4

Speaker:

it's always best to do arbitrage

Speaker:

cause it's easy every store is going on discount

Speaker:

so like Target Walmart I'll

Speaker:

yeah they're on discount

Speaker:

I'll go ahead and buy some products and sell them quick

Speaker:

and then um

Speaker:

I see myself like I said

Speaker:

three years maybe doing private label

Speaker:

having my own brand having my own trademark

Speaker:

Dang let's talk about private label

Speaker:

that sounds interesting I've always wanted to um

Speaker:

one thing that I did want to do

Speaker:

and that I did do in high school

Speaker:

is attempt to launch a gym wear brand

Speaker:

a gym what a gym wear brand

Speaker:

like gym clothes oh yeah

Speaker:

yeah um

Speaker:

completely failed cause again

Speaker:

if no one knows who you are

Speaker:

no one knows your brand then it's whatever

Speaker:

but I mean I

Speaker:

the way that I remember I was doing a print on demand

Speaker:

print on demand

Speaker:

print on demand from like some random ass website um

Speaker:

and it was fun for a little bit

Speaker:

but then I never went through with it

Speaker:

how's that how's that work

Speaker:

print on is that like the like

Speaker:

so you basically so you

Speaker:

you have the um

Speaker:

you essentially have the design

Speaker:

you send them over the design

Speaker:

and then they'll tell you like okay

Speaker:

you need to order like X amount of things with us right

Speaker:

like

Speaker:

and they don't really do bulk orders

Speaker:

because it's print on demand

Speaker:

so you have to once you get an order in

Speaker:

you buy with them and then they

Speaker:

they'll send it directly to the person

Speaker:

oh so you don't have to receive

Speaker:

so you don't have to receive anything

Speaker:

they just send it directly to them

Speaker:

which is which is a really good in concept

Speaker:

I just never went through with it

Speaker:

just a thought but um

Speaker:

it's interesting if private label is the end goal

Speaker:

what are you doing now to work towards that

Speaker:

I know you say you want to go to wholesale first

Speaker:

then um brand direct deals

Speaker:

but building out a private label

Speaker:

means that you have to have a personal brand

Speaker:

exactly exactly

Speaker:

so how's that working right

Speaker:

cause like I said

Speaker:

if you don't have anyone can launch a product right

Speaker:

yeah I can get into private label right now

Speaker:

but who's gonna buy my product exactly

Speaker:

so I think that ties back

Speaker:

like I said obviously

Speaker:

I'm going step by step

Speaker:

because I want to master every single

Speaker:

I want to master arbitrage

Speaker:

which I think I've already had

Speaker:

have a certain point

Speaker:

and then I want to master wholesale

Speaker:

get into some brand direct

Speaker:

see how it works

Speaker:

how it is to actually work one on one with the company

Speaker:

yeah and then obviously learn from that

Speaker:

and then have my own private label

Speaker:

but by then by three years bro

Speaker:

my end goal is to

Speaker:

obviously have a presence on social media

Speaker:

uh huh so right now

Speaker:

like I think you've seen my Instagram

Speaker:

mm hmm um

Speaker:

I tend to get a couple view

Speaker:

like I'll

Speaker:

I'll have not I wouldn't say I average

Speaker:

but at least one video

Speaker:

like a month will get like over 100

Speaker:

200 k views

Speaker:

simply because it's like relatable gym content right

Speaker:

yeah but then

Speaker:

that doesn't convert into what it is

Speaker:

that I'm actually trying to build

Speaker:

yeah like

Speaker:

I'm trying to build right this um

Speaker:

this this uh

Speaker:

brand

Speaker:

personal brand around me that I'm a online ecom seller

Speaker:

right and that I'm a 20 year

Speaker:

20 years old 21 years old

Speaker:

22 years old hopefully by now

Speaker:

I'll have a six uh

Speaker:

seven figure seller mm hmm

Speaker:

and just show people my angle

Speaker:

is just to show kids who

Speaker:

just like me that it's possible right

Speaker:

yeah that it's you

Speaker:

just like I mentioned you put your head into it

Speaker:

you learn everything there is to it

Speaker:

literally go ghost for like 3

Speaker:

4 months as corny as it sounds

Speaker:

and then just learn everything there is

Speaker:

the back ends to any whatever it is

Speaker:

whether it's Amazon

Speaker:

whether it's some sort of other online business

Speaker:

or actual business

Speaker:

just learn everything there is to it and make it happen

Speaker:

yeah right

Speaker:

actions speak louder than words

Speaker:

and I just wanna be like

Speaker:

an inspiration to people that it's possible

Speaker:

because I I don't come from

Speaker:

I don't come from like

Speaker:

no rich family or anything right

Speaker:

I'm a what do you call

Speaker:

first generation American

Speaker:

Mm hmm so I just wanna be like

Speaker:

like that inspiration that if I can do it

Speaker:

you can too

Speaker:

right yeah

Speaker:

so what I'm doing towards

Speaker:

like right now towards

Speaker:

to reach that goal of having a good PB personal brand

Speaker:

is I'm trying to post every single day

Speaker:

don't get me wrong social media

Speaker:

I guess it's like sometimes

Speaker:

like you have the motivation out of nowhere

Speaker:

like you just don't know what to post

Speaker:

yeah and I'm like

Speaker:

I don't know what to post

Speaker:

but I gotta get something out there every single day

Speaker:

right and um

Speaker:

my goal is to 2026 is just to

Speaker:

hopefully have 10 k followers on my Instagram

Speaker:

which I know it's just a number

Speaker:

but still just helps somewhat

Speaker:

yeah it's a metric exactly

Speaker:

so I have 10 k by like

Speaker:

before I turn 21 which my birthday is in February 6

Speaker:

so I have what

Speaker:

like a month a month

Speaker:

so yeah

Speaker:

so I don't know

Speaker:

I'm at 1.4 right now hopefully 1.5 by the end of like

Speaker:

two weeks next week

Speaker:

we'll see but like I said

Speaker:

I mean the way I see it

Speaker:

the whole like

Speaker:

Instagram social media

Speaker:

personal brand thing is also

Speaker:

in a sense kind of like business

Speaker:

you know if you actually want it bad enough

Speaker:

and put in learn

Speaker:

like the back into

Speaker:

I guess like

Speaker:

the algorithm or whatever

Speaker:

learn what's actually what people actually wanna see

Speaker:

or what people actually enjoy watching

Speaker:

and you're gonna grow right

Speaker:

you're gonna get it in just like I'm getting sales

Speaker:

I Learned how to get sales

Speaker:

I'm gonna learn how to get followers

Speaker:

yeah so definitely have a personal brand

Speaker:

once I have a big enough personal brand

Speaker:

I could launch a clothing brand if I want to

Speaker:

and yeah

Speaker:

have all these followers that

Speaker:

let's say I have like a 200 k followers

Speaker:

at least like

Speaker:

five to 10K of them

Speaker:

are gonna go ahead and buy my clothing brand right

Speaker:

I mean yeah

Speaker:

I mean 5,000 people spending 20 bucks is a lot

Speaker:

a lot it's a lot of money

Speaker:

it's a lot of money exactly

Speaker:

so yeah

Speaker:

I think that makes sense I think um

Speaker:

when it when it comes to personal branding

Speaker:

it's really just

Speaker:

kind of what it is that you want your audience to do

Speaker:

right so

Speaker:

if you want your audience to buy a product

Speaker:

that you're selling

Speaker:

you have to build the storyline behind it

Speaker:

why is it that you're doing it

Speaker:

or else it just becomes again

Speaker:

a random ass product

Speaker:

that who is really gonna give a fuck about right

Speaker:

but um

Speaker:

you mentioned coaching what is

Speaker:

what is this about

Speaker:

what is that you're coaching the Amazon dude

Speaker:

yeah arbitrage

Speaker:

so what did I do why

Speaker:

why did you decide to do that

Speaker:

I think I simply decided to do

Speaker:

because it just ties back to like

Speaker:

what I wanna do at the end

Speaker:

at the end of the day right

Speaker:

like yeah

Speaker:

have that personal brand

Speaker:

just show people how it's possible to do

Speaker:

mm hmm that if I can do it

Speaker:

you can do it too so I was like

Speaker:

why not start now OK

Speaker:

I have some people who wanna learn yeah

Speaker:

so take them under my wing

Speaker:

and it just ties back

Speaker:

to the whole conversation we had earlier

Speaker:

they could go ahead and learn right

Speaker:

on their own free route

Speaker:

but they're gonna run into the errors

Speaker:

to stuff they're gonna run

Speaker:

let's say they buy a product

Speaker:

that they weren't supposed to buy right

Speaker:

maybe they got on a listing that

Speaker:

let's say it's an IP complaint listing

Speaker:

meaning only one seller actually has authority

Speaker:

they're gonna go ahead and kick you out

Speaker:

and then boom your account's deactivated

Speaker:

all the money you have Amazon supposed to pay you out

Speaker:

it's gone it's over really

Speaker:

oh you can just take it

Speaker:

Amazon does that bro

Speaker:

that's crazy like three sellers who

Speaker:

especially one one of my boys who lives in Chicago

Speaker:

he's a seven figure seller

Speaker:

Amazon took his account like this

Speaker:

because he accidentally bought a wholesale unit

Speaker:

that he wasn't supposed to sell

Speaker:

and now he's been fighting two months now

Speaker:

with Amazon's strategy Jesus

Speaker:

I think he has a lawyer's involved in everything

Speaker:

that's crazy it's insane bro

Speaker:

I'm about to cash out literally

Speaker:

that's crazy literally

Speaker:

but like I said why I took students I

Speaker:

why I decided to go the coaching route

Speaker:

like I said it just ties back to what I wanna do right

Speaker:

how I inspire other people and help them do it

Speaker:

so that's what I'm doing

Speaker:

and it's been going pretty well

Speaker:

I have two of my students

Speaker:

uh Eugenio and Nick

Speaker:

The first month of selling right

Speaker:

uh they started late September uh

Speaker:

late October yeah

Speaker:

November was their first month actually understood

Speaker:

Nick ended at 11 k uh OK

Speaker:

his first month which is insane

Speaker:

that's crazy and then Eugenio ended at 12 k damn

Speaker:

yeah and obviously I'm like proud of them bro

Speaker:

cause I remember if I could hit a 10 k a month

Speaker:

when I first started that would have been crazy

Speaker:

I would have been flipping

Speaker:

yeah and now

Speaker:

I mean the reason why they did it was

Speaker:

like I said they no better thing

Speaker:

I feel like this is my perspective on things

Speaker:

you wanna learn something

Speaker:

learn from someone who's done it already right

Speaker:

you could

Speaker:

why avoid all that hassle and all that time wasted like

Speaker:

you know making errors

Speaker:

making mistakes

Speaker:

you can just invest a little bit of your like

Speaker:

invest yourself into a a program or a personal

Speaker:

I guess coach or someone who

Speaker:

you know and they'll go ahead and in a sense

Speaker:

help you achieve your dreams

Speaker:

but I don't sell you know

Speaker:

I don't sell like yeah

Speaker:

I'm gonna make you 10 k I'm gonna make you 10 k

Speaker:

what I what I tell everyone who's interested or who

Speaker:

like hits me up like hey

Speaker:

can you can I work with you

Speaker:

or can you teach me is like yeah

Speaker:

I mean I can definitely teach you the skills there is

Speaker:

and I can give you a blueprint to like

Speaker:

make 10 20

Speaker:

30 k a month however

Speaker:

it just comes down to you like

Speaker:

if you're actually willing to

Speaker:

you know get that blueprint

Speaker:

learn all there is to it

Speaker:

and actually show up every single day

Speaker:

right cause not everyone is actually meant for

Speaker:

I guess in a sense

Speaker:

running a business right

Speaker:

yeah some people are

Speaker:

I feel like to see like

Speaker:

I see this way some people are meant to actually

Speaker:

you know work the normal yeah

Speaker:

nothing wrong with it nothing wrong with it

Speaker:

we need those we need workers right

Speaker:

and then there's some people who actually have that um

Speaker:

I guess what

Speaker:

what would you call it like

Speaker:

that ability yeah

Speaker:

it's just like the little fire right

Speaker:

exactly a little hunger in them

Speaker:

to actually run a business and make it successful

Speaker:

so I always tell any of my students right

Speaker:

like it just comes down to you

Speaker:

like I'm here

Speaker:

you have access to me you have access to my other coach

Speaker:

Anthony like

Speaker:

you have access to both of us

Speaker:

but at the end of the day

Speaker:

it just comes down to you

Speaker:

we can only do so much you know

Speaker:

we're not here to hold your hand

Speaker:

and feed you everything there is to it

Speaker:

our goal is for you to learn everything there is to it

Speaker:

and by by

Speaker:

you know getting our help

Speaker:

but eventually we want you to master it yourself too

Speaker:

right mm hmm

Speaker:

it gets to a point where like

Speaker:

they don't need us anymore right

Speaker:

cause you don't you're not always gonna need a mentor

Speaker:

yeah a mentor is only there for

Speaker:

with you for like

Speaker:

until until you exactly

Speaker:

you gotta always outgrow your mentor and yeah

Speaker:

I mean that's why I did it bro

Speaker:

just to help other people who are in my position

Speaker:

who I see you know

Speaker:

they were in my they were once in my similar position

Speaker:

they want to start something

Speaker:

they have their hunger in them

Speaker:

so if I can teach them if they're

Speaker:

you know if I feel like I can actually go ahead and

Speaker:

in a sense change your life

Speaker:

then I'll go ahead and do it

Speaker:

that's I'm doing bro

Speaker:

that's so crazy and I guess what's one of like

Speaker:

the biggest struggles

Speaker:

when it comes to teaching other people'cause

Speaker:

I mean like you said

Speaker:

you can only do so much for them right

Speaker:

um you can only give them so much help

Speaker:

so much blueprints

Speaker:

you can only tell them essentially what to do

Speaker:

step by step right

Speaker:

it's up to them whether they want to or not

Speaker:

have you had any problems with maybe someone saying

Speaker:

like hey

Speaker:

this doesn't work like

Speaker:

you're not doing the right thing

Speaker:

or like

Speaker:

you're not teaching me the right thing

Speaker:

to be honest bro

Speaker:

I'm not gonna lie my mentees have been so far

Speaker:

so good so far really

Speaker:

yeah like I mentioned

Speaker:

I think I had one

Speaker:

but he ended up just actually putting in the work okay

Speaker:

I had one who like

Speaker:

was like yeah bro

Speaker:

like I don't know

Speaker:

um I'm not

Speaker:

I'm not finding any products right

Speaker:

mm hmm but like I said

Speaker:

we went ahead and fixed that

Speaker:

we saw how what he's doing wrong and corrected him

Speaker:

and now he's like OK

Speaker:

thank you right

Speaker:

but up to now up to date

Speaker:

I've been doing the program for like

Speaker:

two months now OK

Speaker:

like I said a late October

Speaker:

I think I started and all my mentees have been good bro

Speaker:

so far so good I definitely do see myself running into

Speaker:

like someone who will go like

Speaker:

yeah bro

Speaker:

like I'm not getting no sales like yeah

Speaker:

you scammed me where's my like

Speaker:

I want my money back bro

Speaker:

like you

Speaker:

you know what you got yourself into

Speaker:

like that's what we

Speaker:

it's not like I just close anyone right yeah

Speaker:

I'll get on a call with them and just see if they're

Speaker:

if they're a good qualified lady to even go ahead and

Speaker:

you know put my time into them

Speaker:

into having them start something of their own

Speaker:

because at the same time I'm running my own business

Speaker:

yeah so

Speaker:

I'm taking time out of my personal day

Speaker:

and my business time to go ahead and teach these guys

Speaker:

yeah so I

Speaker:

I don't know I'll definitely

Speaker:

probably run into a some sort of menti down the line

Speaker:

who just feels like they got scammed or something

Speaker:

yeah of course

Speaker:

I think that um

Speaker:

one of one of the main um

Speaker:

concepts that I always like to dig in is

Speaker:

entrepreneurship is essentially

Speaker:

a whole self development journey

Speaker:

from beginning to start right

Speaker:

like

Speaker:

the person that you were when you started doing what it

Speaker:

what it is you're doing

Speaker:

is not the same person

Speaker:

that's sitting right in front of me right

Speaker:

you've had your doubts you've had your mistakes

Speaker:

you've had your struggles

Speaker:

you've had everything

Speaker:

probably even the verge of quitting right

Speaker:

hundred percent bro

Speaker:

yeah

Speaker:

and one of the main points of why I started this was to

Speaker:

like show that

Speaker:

you know show that it's not easy

Speaker:

it's not like what you see on Instagram

Speaker:

what you see on YouTube it's a highlight reel

Speaker:

essentially right

Speaker:

no one really sees the struggle

Speaker:

so what were those struggles in the beginning

Speaker:

whether it was mentally physically

Speaker:

logistically even capital wise

Speaker:

that you encountered yeah

Speaker:

so when I started I started um

Speaker:

I like to say June right

Speaker:

I I think I full on committed

Speaker:

like may

Speaker:

end of may I started selling in June okay

Speaker:

and yeah

Speaker:

in a sense I was a little limited to capital

Speaker:

I only had like

Speaker:

personal credit so my limit with that was like

Speaker:

around maybe 10K which is still a lot to begin

Speaker:

that is a lot that's a lot

Speaker:

that's more than what I started with

Speaker:

damn I know others who start with two to three k homes

Speaker:

yeah and that's like

Speaker:

actual capital but the thing is

Speaker:

what I've been doing is

Speaker:

I've been leveraging credits since the beginning okay

Speaker:

so like

Speaker:

I was like I have the government's money

Speaker:

if I can like

Speaker:

I'm responsible enough yeah

Speaker:

then I can go ahead and use the government's money

Speaker:

if you're responsible you can use it

Speaker:

works out yeah

Speaker:

and that's what I did right

Speaker:

obviously I was

Speaker:

I didn't go all in 10K in the beginning

Speaker:

hmm cause uh

Speaker:

if I did I would have been a major

Speaker:

major setback cause

Speaker:

I didn't know enough

Speaker:

about the actual arbitrage business

Speaker:

to go ahead and invest $10,000 like that

Speaker:

but I think I would have ended up losing

Speaker:

but fun fact I actually went um

Speaker:

my first got a couple of two weeks selling

Speaker:

so like my first

Speaker:

like in the week of May June

Speaker:

I like maybe like June 10th 11th

Speaker:

the sales I was doing I thought I was making money

Speaker:

yeah I was

Speaker:

I was making like a thousand dollars a week

Speaker:

maybe on sales or something like that

Speaker:

I was having like 500 dollar

Speaker:

I had like 500 dollar day

Speaker:

my second day of selling I was like

Speaker:

oh my god oh my god

Speaker:

I'm up like

Speaker:

I had the boost of dopamine

Speaker:

but I was doing error that at the whole time

Speaker:

even though my numbers were going up

Speaker:

I was going negative bro

Speaker:

I was losing money on every single product

Speaker:

because I was buying the shit

Speaker:

there's shipping cost you gotta pay for it okay

Speaker:

and I didn't understand it

Speaker:

so my my dumbass was like

Speaker:

okay so I want to be a good seller

Speaker:

I want people to feel comfortable with their actual

Speaker:

I want them to like

Speaker:

feel comfortable with who they're buying from and like

Speaker:

be happy with it satisfied

Speaker:

I'm gonna go ahead

Speaker:

and give them the fastest shipping option there is

Speaker:

right that's crazy

Speaker:

so instead of paying for like $8

Speaker:

and I cause the item back then I was selling

Speaker:

shipping would average me like $8 per

Speaker:

yeah label

Speaker:

I was paying like and my margins are based off the

Speaker:

you like you already calculate when

Speaker:

before buying a product you calculate the shipping uh

Speaker:

margins into it and all the other stuff everything

Speaker:

right so basically

Speaker:

you already have an estimate

Speaker:

of how much you're gonna make

Speaker:

yeah that's like 30 minutes

Speaker:

okay so that's what I did

Speaker:

I had um

Speaker:

I was like

Speaker:

my margins were based on the eight dollar things

Speaker:

but I don't know I think I just

Speaker:

too much doping

Speaker:

that I wasn't thinking straight for like

Speaker:

the first week and a half

Speaker:

two weeks of selling yeah

Speaker:

that I was buying the like 12 dollar labels

Speaker:

15 dollar labels of shipping instead of eight dollars

Speaker:

so that's all your profit

Speaker:

yeah so I was profiting like nothing

Speaker:

nothing negative 20 cents

Speaker:

negative 30 cents it's crazy

Speaker:

and I didn't realize that until my first pay off

Speaker:

like when my mom

Speaker:

my mom was like my mom's very uh

Speaker:

Ivonne's very big on numbers and everything

Speaker:

she's also in a sense she

Speaker:

I guess a businesswoman

Speaker:

she's always had her own

Speaker:

little catering business on the side

Speaker:

ever since I grew up right

Speaker:

she's very tight on like

Speaker:

keeping your numbers straight

Speaker:

doing your numbers and she always like Mark

Speaker:

we gotta do your numbers we gotta do your numbers

Speaker:

how much you're spending on products

Speaker:

how much you're doing that

Speaker:

I was like no no

Speaker:

I got it I got it

Speaker:

I know what I'm doing

Speaker:

I regret not listening to your mom

Speaker:

so everyone is watching this

Speaker:

always listen to your mom

Speaker:

to your parents because at the end of the day

Speaker:

they know better they know better

Speaker:

they've been through it but yeah

Speaker:

I was doing negative and I got my first paycheck

Speaker:

I was like wait

Speaker:

how am I like

Speaker:

I only I only got back what I invested into the product

Speaker:

I didn't make I made zero profit bro

Speaker:

I was like no way

Speaker:

but I Learned right

Speaker:

I got on call with my mentor

Speaker:

I was like uh

Speaker:

what am I doing wrong he's like bro

Speaker:

let's see your same thing like I do with mine

Speaker:

he was like let's go through it

Speaker:

he helped me we looked at my logs

Speaker:

my shipping logs

Speaker:

I was losing money on every single shipping

Speaker:

cause I was buying the expensive shipping

Speaker:

yeah because in my mind

Speaker:

I was like if it gets quicker to them

Speaker:

if I buy them the expedited shipping yeah

Speaker:

they're gonna be happier and they're gonna make sense

Speaker:

right probably

Speaker:

but yeah

Speaker:

I cooked myself and I Learned off that

Speaker:

so I think it just ties to entrepreneurship

Speaker:

not every day is gonna be an amazing day

Speaker:

especially in the beginning

Speaker:

there's days where you're just gonna feel like

Speaker:

you're doing it wrong or if it's even possible

Speaker:

don't get me wrong I don't know if you feel this way

Speaker:

but sometimes I wake up bro

Speaker:

like once in a while

Speaker:

I'm like is this like

Speaker:

really like yeah

Speaker:

what if it's just one like

Speaker:

is it even worth like

Speaker:

do I see myself doing this

Speaker:

yeah long term

Speaker:

I know I talk to Bristol about all the time

Speaker:

he's like yeah man

Speaker:

you're just gonna feel those

Speaker:

like you just

Speaker:

I'll be feeling those too

Speaker:

you just feel it it's just part of it

Speaker:

like you just have to

Speaker:

I'm like bro

Speaker:

like I think about him like

Speaker:

should I just go should I just college and just like

Speaker:

do a 95 and like

Speaker:

I don't know because it's

Speaker:

it's the same thing right

Speaker:

I mean I mean there's

Speaker:

there's always a the bigger the risk

Speaker:

the bigger the payout right

Speaker:

so it's like if you wanna do the secure thing

Speaker:

you're just gonna have a smaller payout

Speaker:

exactly so there's definitely fear

Speaker:

I feel like maybe that fear is never gonna go away

Speaker:

especially if you start scaling bigger

Speaker:

it's gonna get worse obviously

Speaker:

the more numbers you wanna make

Speaker:

the more money you gotta put in

Speaker:

oh yeah

Speaker:

I want if I wanna make 100 k a month on Amazon

Speaker:

I gotta put in at least maybe

Speaker:

like 30 k

Speaker:

30 k worth of capital yeah

Speaker:

and it should be imagine me putting 30 k in

Speaker:

I can only imagine the doubt

Speaker:

I'm like fuck

Speaker:

like I just put this much money

Speaker:

is it gonna work is it gonna work

Speaker:

is it gonna work yeah gosh

Speaker:

should I just like quit

Speaker:

should I just take it back out

Speaker:

but yeah man

Speaker:

I think it's not it's not all rainbows and sunshine

Speaker:

there's days where you're gonna feel like you're not

Speaker:

if it's even worth it but that's just where it shows

Speaker:

if you're meant for it or not

Speaker:

right if you go ahead and overcome it

Speaker:

because at the end of the day

Speaker:

like I said you show up every single day

Speaker:

even on the bad days and you're bound for success bro

Speaker:

that's how I see it yeah

Speaker:

when you show up when you actually do the work

Speaker:

and you show up regardless of how you feel

Speaker:

yeah yeah yeah

Speaker:

cool things happen cool things happen exactly

Speaker:

and like yeah

Speaker:

so I was like I was saying

Speaker:

my first like

Speaker:

week and a half I went negative

Speaker:

I Learned from that my mom's like

Speaker:

what I tell you this that like

Speaker:

OK mom

Speaker:

OK OK

Speaker:

and um

Speaker:

I guess in a sense

Speaker:

since I was in a group like

Speaker:

like a group chat with like

Speaker:

all these other sellers that were doing the same thing

Speaker:

my first I think June

Speaker:

I ended I didn't hit 10 k until

Speaker:

until September

Speaker:

which I ended up hitting a 25 k instead of 10 k

Speaker:

like I mentioned right

Speaker:

and so June went by July

Speaker:

August so 3 months

Speaker:

I didn't see 10 k months

Speaker:

and I kid you not I was like

Speaker:

what am I doing wrong like

Speaker:

is this even meant for me

Speaker:

because there was other sellers that were joining

Speaker:

I guess like my mentees

Speaker:

I guess they just had that hunger in them

Speaker:

or they they had something in them differently

Speaker:

yeah that they were hitting 10 k the first month or

Speaker:

you know by the time like

Speaker:

let's say I joined the may

Speaker:

and someone joined in like

Speaker:

June or July

Speaker:

and they had a bigger month on August than I did

Speaker:

I was like oh man

Speaker:

like I'm getting left behind

Speaker:

but in a sense that also pushed me to just do more

Speaker:

I was like okay

Speaker:

this kid's younger than me

Speaker:

he's 19 he's 18

Speaker:

and he just hit a 10K month before me

Speaker:

yeah there's no way I'm doing something wrong

Speaker:

so I go ahead and re evaluate what I'm doing

Speaker:

learn off it fix my mistakes

Speaker:

and then just better myself every single time I can

Speaker:

I think

Speaker:

I also catch myself getting comfortable sometimes

Speaker:

which is I feel like

Speaker:

a big

Speaker:

key factor when it comes to running a business'cause

Speaker:

at the soon

Speaker:

the moment you get comfortable

Speaker:

then you're just gonna stop

Speaker:

that's it yeah

Speaker:

yeah yeah

Speaker:

yeah yeah yeah yeah

Speaker:

comfortability has killed more dreams than like

Speaker:

laziness and lack of capital and lack of knowledge

Speaker:

uh huh cause like

Speaker:

the moment you get comfortable

Speaker:

you just like well

Speaker:

I don't there's no reason for me to push anymore right

Speaker:

like that drive

Speaker:

that pushed you to where you are at right now

Speaker:

it's not the same drive

Speaker:

that's gonna keep you in the game

Speaker:

exactly exactly

Speaker:

so you get to recalibrate

Speaker:

yeah so that's

Speaker:

I think I guess in a sense

Speaker:

the Supra right

Speaker:

obviously the Supra

Speaker:

me working I used to work at Toyota right okay

Speaker:

I worked at 4:51 at Toyota

Speaker:

I was a technician on cars

Speaker:

don't get me wrong I love cars

Speaker:

I love cars so working on cars

Speaker:

it wasn't like it wasn't a bad job

Speaker:

cause I think I was with my boys

Speaker:

we mess around work on cars

Speaker:

fix cars get to see cool cars every now and then

Speaker:

but I was getting paid like ass right

Speaker:

yeah so I was just like

Speaker:

I don't know man

Speaker:

I I've always told myself that

Speaker:

I don't feel like I'm meant for

Speaker:

just working a dead end job

Speaker:

in a sense right

Speaker:

I didn't know what that was

Speaker:

until I Learned all these other possibilities

Speaker:

that there's money out there online

Speaker:

money to make you just gotta learn that skill

Speaker:

and for anyone watching that like

Speaker:

thinks they gotta go

Speaker:

ahead and quit their job right away

Speaker:

when they start a business

Speaker:

I don't I don't recommend that at all right

Speaker:

you wanna have some sort of cash flow

Speaker:

you wanna be a little safe

Speaker:

exactly you wanna be a little safe

Speaker:

and that's what I did I told myself

Speaker:

I gave myself the goal

Speaker:

as soon as I start making more on Amazon

Speaker:

than I am on my uh job

Speaker:

my regular job

Speaker:

that's when I'm gonna go ahead and leave my job

Speaker:

so that's what I did in August

Speaker:

I left I took that

Speaker:

even though I like broke even

Speaker:

I think I did like profit

Speaker:

I think I profited like two grand

Speaker:

2.5 grand on August even though it's not a lot right

Speaker:

but that's how much I

Speaker:

I told you that I was making two grand a month

Speaker:

yeah so I was like alright

Speaker:

$500 more okay

Speaker:

I'm leaving the job and I did

Speaker:

I had my biggest month the next month

Speaker:

Jeez how was that

Speaker:

was it scary it was uh what

Speaker:

leaving my job yeah

Speaker:

yeah not really

Speaker:

because I mean

Speaker:

it's a technician job like I always told myself

Speaker:

worst comes to worst I can always go back to mechanic

Speaker:

exactly you know

Speaker:

I'm 20 years old yeah

Speaker:

so like

Speaker:

it's not the end of the world for me

Speaker:

you know if I

Speaker:

if I feel like this business model

Speaker:

this whatever

Speaker:

just go back just go back

Speaker:

exactly go back to school

Speaker:

go back to being a technician

Speaker:

that's a good thing about being young

Speaker:

yeah exactly

Speaker:

and um

Speaker:

but being young bro

Speaker:

we gotta take advantage of that everyone

Speaker:

we got to be like

Speaker:

our responsibilities

Speaker:

we don't have that many responsibilities compared to 40

Speaker:

50 years old right

Speaker:

yeah I mean family

Speaker:

you don't have kids you don't have a wife

Speaker:

you don't have a dog maybe you do have a dog

Speaker:

but I don't have a dog I never had a dog

Speaker:

me neither

Speaker:

but you don't gotta pay

Speaker:

you don't necessarily gotta pay rent

Speaker:

you don't gotta step out the house

Speaker:

you know exactly

Speaker:

so exactly

Speaker:

take advantage of that

Speaker:

but uh

Speaker:

I guess uh

Speaker:

being comfortable it took me when I got the car Supra

Speaker:

uh I guess it just put me getting that car

Speaker:

like in the sense I'm like

Speaker:

okay I got a car

Speaker:

mm hmm now my goal is to pay off this car within a year

Speaker:

so okay

Speaker:

since I put myself in a a little bit more

Speaker:

less comfortable situation

Speaker:

yeah or like

Speaker:

I know I can obviously afford and go ahead

Speaker:

and it's gonna pay itself through the business

Speaker:

but it just gave me that like

Speaker:

pushing like factor

Speaker:

uh huh to just make more money

Speaker:

I have this car now so like

Speaker:

I have to make more money

Speaker:

I have to make more money

Speaker:

uh huh so that's what I

Speaker:

that's what I'm doing man

Speaker:

it's every single day that's

Speaker:

my goal is just to get one step closer

Speaker:

to my seven figure net worth

Speaker:

I guess yeah

Speaker:

do you have any projections on when that would could be

Speaker:

I'm giving myself two years bro

Speaker:

two years yeah

Speaker:

two years that's crazy

Speaker:

you think it's a lot you think it's a long time

Speaker:

I think that's a little time

Speaker:

don't you think I mean

Speaker:

like

Speaker:

as you scale things yeah

Speaker:

things break right

Speaker:

so like we said either Leadership

Speaker:

Capital

Speaker:

employees teammates

Speaker:

things like that so I think my only advice to you

Speaker:

if you want to double

Speaker:

if you want to

Speaker:

if you want to hit $1 million from doing like what

Speaker:

if you're doing a 30 k run rate

Speaker:

that would be maybe 300 k by the end of the year

Speaker:

over the span of 12 months

Speaker:

or a little bit under 400 k

Speaker:

the amount of money that you're gonna have to spend

Speaker:

the amount of energy that you're gonna have to put

Speaker:

the amount of manpower and not just that

Speaker:

just the capacity to get over problems

Speaker:

get over people problems which is even worse

Speaker:

and have the capacity to also understand

Speaker:

that things are gonna go wrong

Speaker:

for a very long time as well

Speaker:

it's something that you think you might be ready for

Speaker:

I'm telling you from experience

Speaker:

you are not you're

Speaker:

if you think you're prepared

Speaker:

you're probably not prepared

Speaker:

cause um

Speaker:

and that's not that's not a discouragement at all

Speaker:

it's more of like a be ready for that

Speaker:

like when it happens

Speaker:

you should not feel like um oh

Speaker:

I'm not good enough or like

Speaker:

I'm not doing this right no

Speaker:

you're completely doing it right

Speaker:

you're doing something that

Speaker:

point zero zero one % of men in their life

Speaker:

will ever do right

Speaker:

the amount of money that that takes

Speaker:

and the kind of person that it takes

Speaker:

to build something like that

Speaker:

is a crazy person first of all right

Speaker:

and someone completely out of the normal

Speaker:

but you just have to it's gonna take a lot of money if

Speaker:

if you think that if right now

Speaker:

you said that in order to make 100 k

Speaker:

you need to spend $30,000

Speaker:

maybe just on product mm hmm

Speaker:

I mean times that by 10

Speaker:

you need to make a million dollars

Speaker:

you need to spend $300,000 on product

Speaker:

plus at that point

Speaker:

you're gonna need a team so you need to put in payroll

Speaker:

plus you probably gonna need a manager

Speaker:

so you need some overhead

Speaker:

plus you're gonna probably need like

Speaker:

a warehouse I mean

Speaker:

where you gonna put this like

Speaker:

you can't put this anywhere else

Speaker:

so there's steps to it um

Speaker:

and sometimes going slow is faster than going fast

Speaker:

you know sometimes taking things slow

Speaker:

yeah yeah

Speaker:

I mean hundred percent

Speaker:

two years is amazing it's great

Speaker:

but don't ever rush

Speaker:

the lessons that you need to learn along the way

Speaker:

just for a number or a metric

Speaker:

because those lessons they take time

Speaker:

they take time they're unteachable lessons

Speaker:

sometimes

Speaker:

unteachable lessons come in the form of a mistake

Speaker:

they come in the form of money loss

Speaker:

but those are lessons

Speaker:

are gonna carry you from 1 million

Speaker:

to 10 million to 100 million

Speaker:

so you know

Speaker:

sometimes it's good to just

Speaker:

you know slow down a little bit

Speaker:

slow down a little bit recalibrate

Speaker:

and just make sure that you have all your check

Speaker:

engine lines off

Speaker:

and get off to the race thanks bro

Speaker:

I appreciate it for real

Speaker:

yeah I mean

Speaker:

I'm telling you for experience

Speaker:

I got I

Speaker:

I burned myself I burned myself

Speaker:

but no I definitely heard about

Speaker:

I mean I always hear about

Speaker:

like all these big guys who like

Speaker:

I guess it says

Speaker:

made it already or made that big amount of money

Speaker:

yeah they always talk about a breakthrough

Speaker:

like a moment you're just gonna be down by

Speaker:

like it's gonna be like

Speaker:

it's gonna feel like the worst time ever

Speaker:

yep and I know that's coming for me

Speaker:

especially with my goals because I was like

Speaker:

I'll be honest I haven't had that yet

Speaker:

yeah this whole business has been

Speaker:

I wouldn't say it's rainbow

Speaker:

sunshine every single time

Speaker:

but I haven't had that point where like

Speaker:

I'm like OK

Speaker:

like I'm negative negative negative

Speaker:

like I'm like

Speaker:

I'm in too deep like

Speaker:

what do I do now I haven't had that yet

Speaker:

OK but I definitely do see myself having one of those

Speaker:

because if everyone's had it then

Speaker:

oh it's

Speaker:

it's coming I'll have it to you

Speaker:

it's coming I mean

Speaker:

it might it might be two

Speaker:

three months from now

Speaker:

it might be a year or two from now

Speaker:

you might actually get to a million dollars

Speaker:

before it ever happens yeah

Speaker:

so it's just it's

Speaker:

it's part of life just like how you have heartbreak

Speaker:

just how you have betrayal

Speaker:

just how you have everything

Speaker:

you have something going on wrong in the business

Speaker:

and you just have to be ready emotionally

Speaker:

mentally and physically

Speaker:

to not let that deter you from the goal

Speaker:

yeah I think that's

Speaker:

ties back to if you're actually meant for it or not

Speaker:

right yeah

Speaker:

entrepreneurship definitely definitely

Speaker:

I mean I'm

Speaker:

do you watch um

Speaker:

do you watch Alex Hormosi

Speaker:

yeah I see him on my feed every now and then

Speaker:

I never really like religiously watched him

Speaker:

well that

Speaker:

but yeah I mean

Speaker:

I mean he's a great example

Speaker:

cause he not only failed once and lost everything

Speaker:

he failed twice and he lost everything

Speaker:

and the third time everything worked out

Speaker:

so I mean

Speaker:

imagine reaching your goal of a million dollars

Speaker:

and everything just

Speaker:

completely falls down to the ground

Speaker:

and you end up with zero dollars

Speaker:

do you have that capacity

Speaker:

do you have the lessons Learned

Speaker:

do you have the skills

Speaker:

to build back up to a million dollars

Speaker:

just to maybe lose it again

Speaker:

there's always that

Speaker:

risk that you're always gonna lose things again

Speaker:

yeah so

Speaker:

I mean at the end of the day

Speaker:

you just what's left is the skills

Speaker:

what's left is the knowledge

Speaker:

and essentially the balls to keep doing it

Speaker:

mm hmm mm hmm

Speaker:

just a thought or two no

Speaker:

I appreciate it bro haha um

Speaker:

I don't know what's ready bro haha

Speaker:

let it go oh yeah

Speaker:

so what's um

Speaker:

tactically what would be like

Speaker:

the next couple months looking like for you

Speaker:

like a gold was with like

Speaker:

my business yeah

Speaker:

as in like you know if

Speaker:

if 40 k is the is the goal now

Speaker:

what's January February

Speaker:

March etc

Speaker:

looking like

Speaker:

I think I definitely wanna hit 100 k a month

Speaker:

mm hmm by like the next six months bro

Speaker:

cause wholesale I'm

Speaker:

I'm gonna get into wholesaling

Speaker:

so I know wholesaling it's gonna be

Speaker:

it's gonna take me from here to here right

Speaker:

so next step is that big of a deal

Speaker:

yeah arbitrage

Speaker:

cause let me explain it like this yeah

Speaker:

so arbitrage is the very beginner friendly right okay

Speaker:

that's where you go ahead and learn

Speaker:

there's sales to be made I mean

Speaker:

I'm making 40 k a month these guys making 50 60

Speaker:

70 80 k a month off it right

Speaker:

uh huh but thing is

Speaker:

you're competing with a lot of other sellers right

Speaker:

because it's a very uh

Speaker:

beginner level entry level right

Speaker:

uh huh so what tends to happen is you

Speaker:

have so much competition now

Speaker:

if you get to wholesale there's still competition

Speaker:

but it just

Speaker:

it goes from competition like this to like this

Speaker:

yeah cause not everybody gets in there

Speaker:

not everybody gets in wholesale

Speaker:

not everyone has the capital

Speaker:

not everyone not everyone made it to that point

Speaker:

to be able to make it to wholesale

Speaker:

right

Speaker:

so I guess competition wise

Speaker:

it would lower me

Speaker:

meaning I have less people on my listings

Speaker:

mm hmm and plus

Speaker:

I'm getting better better margins in them right

Speaker:

I'm buying in bulk so I'm getting better margins

Speaker:

yep so my

Speaker:

I have some sort of more uh

Speaker:

wiggle room to play with when it comes to like

Speaker:

lowering my prices or having the better price

Speaker:

because maybe I'm getting a product today

Speaker:

I'm getting a candy

Speaker:

let's say this guy that's on the listing

Speaker:

he's just doing arbitrage

Speaker:

he's getting the candy for

Speaker:

like $4 a piece since I'm doing wholesale

Speaker:

I'm getting it for like $2 a piece maybe right

Speaker:

so I have $2 right there wiggle room

Speaker:

I can lower my price a little bit

Speaker:

and get more sales than him

Speaker:

not losing money rather

Speaker:

the arbitrage guy lowers his price

Speaker:

he's losing money yeah

Speaker:

so wholesale definitely

Speaker:

margins would be a lot bigger

Speaker:

and just I'll be able to sell more products

Speaker:

so get bigger higher numbers

Speaker:

so I definitely do see myself hitting 100 k month

Speaker:

on Amazon within the next 6 months by

Speaker:

by June I'll definitely hit 100 k month

Speaker:

I know that for sure and like I said

Speaker:

hopefully Q4 next year which will be my second Q4

Speaker:

cause this is my first Q4 right now

Speaker:

OK so my

Speaker:

my second Q4 I'll hit another

Speaker:

I don't know 150 k a month

Speaker:

so basically yeah what

Speaker:

almost triple what I'm making right now

Speaker:

I'll definitely do it though

Speaker:

cause by then I'll have wholesale

Speaker:

I have a systemize I have a bigger team by then

Speaker:

that's my goal and yeah bro

Speaker:

if I can just hit let's say even

Speaker:

let's say I go to safe round

Speaker:

just do 30 k a month what

Speaker:

that puts me at what like 30 * 3 * 12

Speaker:

it's 360 360 okay

Speaker:

I'm already at what 120

Speaker:

I think mm hmm

Speaker:

so 360 that's already half a mill right there

Speaker:

mm hmm right on my

Speaker:

on my Amazon revenue so yeah

Speaker:

that would just that would just put me on path to like

Speaker:

within the year next year

Speaker:

if I do another 360 well

Speaker:

I'm like at 800 almost so I guess in a sense

Speaker:

I'll be close to my end goal

Speaker:

like I said I wanna hit

Speaker:

I wanna be I wanna have seven figures generated by 23

Speaker:

I always told myself 23 I don't know why 23

Speaker:

but ever since I was I don't know

Speaker:

I was 23 it was just 23

Speaker:

like by 23

Speaker:

I gotta have a million like yeah

Speaker:

no for me

Speaker:

it was uh

Speaker:

25 by 25

Speaker:

I have to have a personal net worth of

Speaker:

a million or more

Speaker:

and then a business generating a million or more

Speaker:

um every year

Speaker:

yeah hundred yeah

Speaker:

and but then like

Speaker:

I also see all these guys who are

Speaker:

they're doing it bro

Speaker:

they're making like 1.2

Speaker:

1.32 million a year off the

Speaker:

off the business model I do a year

Speaker:

right so if

Speaker:

if they can do it why can't I do it bro

Speaker:

yeah of course yeah

Speaker:

if they can do it I can definitely do it

Speaker:

like you said there's nothing gonna be rough times

Speaker:

so it's just gonna determine if I'm actually

Speaker:

capable of doing it of making it happen

Speaker:

of overcoming those bad times

Speaker:

mm hmm learning from them and just growing from them

Speaker:

and making not

Speaker:

not repeating the same mistakes

Speaker:

yep and just taking advantage of what I've been through

Speaker:

and growing from it making it a better thing for myself

Speaker:

right yeah

Speaker:

I think that makes sense how do you think

Speaker:

being in the gym and I guess

Speaker:

building up that gym discipline and all those habits

Speaker:

how do you think that has

Speaker:

translated over into the business world

Speaker:

I think it's a big role bro

Speaker:

Bristol right

Speaker:

we all know Bristol yeah

Speaker:

if it wasn't for Bristol I'm not gonna lie

Speaker:

I don't think I'd be in this position bro

Speaker:

he's like no glaze dude

Speaker:

no glaze no

Speaker:

no glaze don't get excited

Speaker:

yo don't get excited hahaha

Speaker:

no glaze oh god

Speaker:

but he definitely did uh

Speaker:

in a sense change the trajectory of where my

Speaker:

I guess where I was headed to

Speaker:

yeah every time I get a haircut from this guy

Speaker:

it'd be like bro

Speaker:

what are you doing with your life

Speaker:

dude you're 20 years old

Speaker:

what are you doing with your life

Speaker:

what are you doing with your life

Speaker:

like you're talking to

Speaker:

what are you doing with your life

Speaker:

that sounds like bro no

Speaker:

he'd be like what are you doing with your life bro

Speaker:

you're 20 years old like you're

Speaker:

you're you have nothing

Speaker:

you're working a fucking job

Speaker:

you're talking to all these girls like

Speaker:

stop talking to girls stop chasing dopamine

Speaker:

I would just be like okay bro

Speaker:

okay bro

Speaker:

and then um

Speaker:

I guess just hearing

Speaker:

just hearing him say all that shit all the time

Speaker:

I get a haircut I was like okay

Speaker:

I'll do a clothing brand

Speaker:

cause I tried doing a clothing brand before

Speaker:

I did e commerce

Speaker:

I'll go ahead and do a clothing brand

Speaker:

and that's so that's so

Speaker:

I pull up to a shop one day

Speaker:

I'm like he's like

Speaker:

so what are you doing bro

Speaker:

like what you've been up to

Speaker:

I'm like yeah dude

Speaker:

I'm like I'm doing a clothing brand

Speaker:

and he's he shits on me

Speaker:

he's like a clothing brand bro

Speaker:

like what the hell

Speaker:

I'm like yeah bro

Speaker:

like I

Speaker:

I will see and I guess just him like

Speaker:

actually in the sense looking out for me

Speaker:

like wanting

Speaker:

knowing that I'm capable of doing so much more

Speaker:

because he always tell me Mark

Speaker:

you lift we would lift together right

Speaker:

he's like you have this discipline to lifting

Speaker:

go ahead and apply that to business right

Speaker:

yeah build something for yourself

Speaker:

because not everyone has that discipline

Speaker:

mmm hmm

Speaker:

when it going to the gym every single day with like

Speaker:

even when you don't feel like it

Speaker:

yeah cause there's days where I don't feel like lifting

Speaker:

yeah but I'll still go because it's just part of like

Speaker:

it makes me feel a lot better after right

Speaker:

oh yeah

Speaker:

or I have to do it right

Speaker:

yeah it literally lifts up your mood

Speaker:

exactly exactly

Speaker:

so I was like okay

Speaker:

he has a point so I Learned within

Speaker:

I've been lifting for like three years now

Speaker:

yeah three

Speaker:

four years that's insane bro

Speaker:

20 20

Speaker:

one as a junior it's insane

Speaker:

I was looking bad guys

Speaker:

yeah so I was a junior when I started lifting

Speaker:

and I always enjoyed it right

Speaker:

so I guess it takes up cause not everyone

Speaker:

like everyone maybe will get into that gym phase

Speaker:

but then they'll last maybe a couple months

Speaker:

or like a year and then

Speaker:

and then yeah

Speaker:

like I'm tired of going

Speaker:

I know friends same age as me

Speaker:

like when I was starting they'd be like Mark

Speaker:

how do you go to the gym for like

Speaker:

an hour or an hour 30 a day

Speaker:

cause back then

Speaker:

I would go for like an hour or two hours right

Speaker:

it's a long time I don't go like that anymore

Speaker:

but they were like bro

Speaker:

how do you have the discipline to go every single day

Speaker:

bro like

Speaker:

I can't do that I'm like

Speaker:

I don't know man

Speaker:

like I just simply

Speaker:

I enjoyed actually going to the gym and like

Speaker:

lifting weights and bettering my physique in a sense

Speaker:

right yeah

Speaker:

and I think that just shows that

Speaker:

not everyone's meant for certain things

Speaker:

yeah so

Speaker:

but you gotta build that discipline

Speaker:

I've been doing it for four years now

Speaker:

that's insane four years of lifting every single day

Speaker:

obviously right now that I every

Speaker:

every single day yeah yeah

Speaker:

there's been times where I like

Speaker:

I did leave it for like

Speaker:

maybe a couple weeks or a month

Speaker:

mm hmm but I built that discipline

Speaker:

definitely helped me in like

Speaker:

my Amazon journey because it taught me to just show up

Speaker:

even when I don't feel like doing it

Speaker:

just show up because at

Speaker:

like at gym

Speaker:

I don't feel like going but if I go

Speaker:

I'll get a nice pump I'll feel amazing

Speaker:

I'll go flexing uh

Speaker:

I'll check take off my shirt

Speaker:

look at my physique like OK

Speaker:

I look a little better now

Speaker:

yeah like

Speaker:

at least I have this pump

Speaker:

yeah have that

Speaker:

when I before going in

Speaker:

and then uh

Speaker:

at so with business right

Speaker:

I'll go ahead okay

Speaker:

I don't feel like sourcing today

Speaker:

but I went ahead stayed up the night

Speaker:

did my sourcing I found a product

Speaker:

now the next day I can have a product to sell right

Speaker:

more money made so it's just

Speaker:

it just translates over having that discipline to

Speaker:

actually that gym discipline that I had

Speaker:

definitely helped me on the journey

Speaker:

to where I'm at right now

Speaker:

yeah yeah

Speaker:

it's it's kind of weird how that works

Speaker:

you know it's um

Speaker:

like you said discipline being

Speaker:

doing the thing that you need to do

Speaker:

even when you don't want to do it

Speaker:

it's it sounds very very

Speaker:

very simple

Speaker:

but it's something that it's easily overlooked

Speaker:

because of how simple it sounds

Speaker:

and people don't understand the multiples and multiples

Speaker:

and multiples of orders of magnitude that it's like

Speaker:

how important it is

Speaker:

I think not only discipline

Speaker:

but just having the grit to go from

Speaker:

0 pounds 5 pounds to going all the way to like 50 60

Speaker:

70 pounds that you're lifting

Speaker:

that also translates to going from

Speaker:

maybe one single product that you're sourcing

Speaker:

one single product that you're selling to

Speaker:

you know four

Speaker:

five six

Speaker:

seven and beyond that help you get closer to your goal

Speaker:

it's little lessons and little habits like that

Speaker:

that really multiply and make up the person that

Speaker:

you know is standing here today

Speaker:

and that will be there tomorrow

Speaker:

hundred percent bro

Speaker:

what um

Speaker:

what would you say

Speaker:

if anybody wanted to get into this econ business

Speaker:

and I again

Speaker:

you having your mentees what would you say to them

Speaker:

as in pros or as in cons what would you say

Speaker:

pros obviously

Speaker:

I mean you're making money

Speaker:

literally through your phone and your laptop dude

Speaker:

yeah right

Speaker:

and you have the

Speaker:

you have the resources and the opportunity to

Speaker:

you know control how much you wanna make

Speaker:

mm hmm basically right

Speaker:

you wanna you wanna make more money

Speaker:

you wanna hit a bigger month

Speaker:

you wanna hit a bigger day

Speaker:

then let's find more products

Speaker:

yeah you know

Speaker:

put in the work uh

Speaker:

put more time into finding products

Speaker:

you're gonna get a bigger storefront and more sales

Speaker:

I think that's a pro is just simply that liberty right

Speaker:

that freedom you can literally work from anywhere

Speaker:

take your laptop with you

Speaker:

your phone with you and just source whenever you want

Speaker:

and you just get sales and I think I've been like

Speaker:

I've been getting sales throughout this whole podcast

Speaker:

like 18 minutes ago

Speaker:

26 minutes ago

Speaker:

just keep getting sales while I'm doing nothing

Speaker:

yeah right

Speaker:

and that's a I mean

Speaker:

that's a pro

Speaker:

you can definitely build it up to a point where like

Speaker:

like I said my own goal right

Speaker:

have it fully automated

Speaker:

but that just comes down to

Speaker:

if you're willing to show up and do it

Speaker:

putting the work going through the bad days

Speaker:

and show up even when you don't feel like showing up

Speaker:

the cons I'd say obviously is

Speaker:

I think every entrepreneur ship

Speaker:

every entrepreneur feels this way right

Speaker:

um you end up working more than a 9 to 5

Speaker:

on your own business oh yeah

Speaker:

like a 9 to 5 you work at eight hour maybe OK

Speaker:

nine hour shift and then uh

Speaker:

the actual business while you're growing

Speaker:

there's days where I'm working 12 13

Speaker:

14 like

Speaker:

all day literally right

Speaker:

I'll just stay up working hours and hours and hours

Speaker:

because you're building something for yourself

Speaker:

so one it's very time consuming

Speaker:

so if you're

Speaker:

if you don't see yourself having enough time

Speaker:

then that's a con right

Speaker:

for you um

Speaker:

I guess another con would more so be

Speaker:

I don't really know bro

Speaker:

to be honest with you I'm not

Speaker:

I'm not really quite sure

Speaker:

I mean I don't see why not take that risk

Speaker:

and just go all in and bet on yourself right

Speaker:

yeah if you fail

Speaker:

at least at least you tried

Speaker:

yeah you tried and you Learned

Speaker:

exactly you try and you learn

Speaker:

and not like

Speaker:

record side not everyone

Speaker:

not everyone

Speaker:

goes ahead and actually takes that risk to learn

Speaker:

mm hmm so a lot of people just stay comfortable

Speaker:

they just watch from the sidelines and just be like

Speaker:

okay like

Speaker:

he's doing it he's gonna fail whatever right

Speaker:

or or he got lucky

Speaker:

like once you make it

Speaker:

they'll be like oh

Speaker:

he got lucky right

Speaker:

he's just he's just one of those few people

Speaker:

but they don't see the back end

Speaker:

they don't see all those time

Speaker:

and hours put into the work

Speaker:

so like

Speaker:

I guess why not take that risk and just make it happen

Speaker:

or at least try to make it happen right

Speaker:

yeah so I feel like in a sense trying to ecom

Speaker:

cause there's nothing to lose

Speaker:

to be honest or yeah

Speaker:

maybe you'll lose a couple thousand couple two

Speaker:

three four

Speaker:

five but it's not the end of the world you got right

Speaker:

you fail you go back to your normal job right

Speaker:

yeah and just go make back that 5K in what

Speaker:

like three months or whatever

Speaker:

whatever job you're working

Speaker:

I don't know what job you're working at

Speaker:

but if you're young

Speaker:

take advantage of your youth and that a freedom of like

Speaker:

responsibilities you have right now

Speaker:

because if you wait for a quote unquote

Speaker:

I guess the right time to start

Speaker:

uh huh it's never gonna come around

Speaker:

cause there's no such thing as a right time to start

Speaker:

you just gotta one day just wake up and be like okay

Speaker:

I'm gonna do it that's it

Speaker:

I'm gonna do it because if you wait for that call

Speaker:

it's never gonna happen uh huh

Speaker:

cause you're in that right now

Speaker:

like let's say me the version of me not doing Amazon

Speaker:

I'm just waiting like OK

Speaker:

one day when the time's right

Speaker:

when the time's right but every single day that goes by

Speaker:

I'm just in the same position that I was

Speaker:

you know not making any money

Speaker:

uh huh so

Speaker:

like I like

Speaker:

I tell everyone there's no better time to start

Speaker:

if anything just do it now

Speaker:

learn the skills you have to learn

Speaker:

show up if you fail

Speaker:

OK you fail

Speaker:

but you tried right

Speaker:

and if you really want to make it happen

Speaker:

you're gonna make it happen

Speaker:

yeah it's it's

Speaker:

it's literally just as simple as that

Speaker:

I know that you not to bring back the glaze

Speaker:

but I know you you said that

Speaker:

you know you had someone in your corner that pushed you

Speaker:

yeah and that saw

Speaker:

maybe the potential that you didn't see in yourself

Speaker:

at that time yeah

Speaker:

do you think you would have ended up

Speaker:

where you are today

Speaker:

if it wasn't for having that person in your corner

Speaker:

glaze dude

Speaker:

holy crap well

Speaker:

I'm gonna glaze him that's not gonna glaze him

Speaker:

but I mean it's

Speaker:

it's very important because

Speaker:

no hundred percent entrepreneurship can be very lonely

Speaker:

very lonely it is

Speaker:

you are in the grind state

Speaker:

you're learning a lot you

Speaker:

you literally just don't have

Speaker:

you just don't have time for anything else

Speaker:

yeah no

Speaker:

you're obsessed with this one thing

Speaker:

no hundred percent

Speaker:

hundred percent especially in the beginning right

Speaker:

mm hmm especially in the beginning

Speaker:

uh yeah man

Speaker:

if it wasn't I mean

Speaker:

like I said I always be grateful for the people uh

Speaker:

friends I've managed to make

Speaker:

throughout the span of this last 2025

Speaker:

that's probably been the best year ever

Speaker:

and yeah

Speaker:

if it wasn't for him no

Speaker:

if it wasn't for Bristol bro yeah

Speaker:

I don't think I would have uh

Speaker:

started cause I was

Speaker:

I was in that position like

Speaker:

when it's the right time when it's the right time

Speaker:

I would tell myself that every single day

Speaker:

just to make myself feel better

Speaker:

cause the other kids making more money than me

Speaker:

younger than me yeah right

Speaker:

so it would just bring me that comfort

Speaker:

and that validation when the time's right

Speaker:

but having him just push me yeah

Speaker:

and be like bro

Speaker:

just do it just do it

Speaker:

you know

Speaker:

that changed my life

Speaker:

and it just ties back to

Speaker:

the people you're surrounded with right

Speaker:

you surround yourself my mom's always told me

Speaker:

you surround yourself and I didn't

Speaker:

I didn't believe her I mean

Speaker:

we never believe our moms

Speaker:

never believe our gosh man

Speaker:

until you know

Speaker:

you experience like okay

Speaker:

exactly right

Speaker:

and they like damn it mom

Speaker:

I should have listened to you

Speaker:

yeah and I'm sorry mom

Speaker:

and uh

Speaker:

yeah she'd always tell me like

Speaker:

don't get me wrong right

Speaker:

I love my friends my

Speaker:

my day ones right yeah

Speaker:

my friends who I've been with uh

Speaker:

since I was like 15 16 17

Speaker:

mm hmm but I would always

Speaker:

you know we go out

Speaker:

we go eat play soccer uh

Speaker:

go do whatever watch movies

Speaker:

just literally do anything but make money right

Speaker:

do anything but make money and

Speaker:

but we'd always talk about getting rich someday

Speaker:

but none of us knew what we were doing

Speaker:

yeah everybody

Speaker:

we all talk and my mom would always be like

Speaker:

you're wasting your time you're not doing anything

Speaker:

go get a job or go do this

Speaker:

okay okay okay whatever right

Speaker:

and she's like your friends are lazy

Speaker:

right and you're just like them

Speaker:

and I was like no

Speaker:

mom like

Speaker:

I'm not like

Speaker:

I'm just with my friends like

Speaker:

I'm just enjoying time

Speaker:

but then

Speaker:

ever since I started this entrepreneurship journey

Speaker:

I've met I

Speaker:

like minded people

Speaker:

and I surround myself with people

Speaker:

who are doing bigger numbers than me

Speaker:

people are doing better than me right

Speaker:

people who I want to be in the position within

Speaker:

like in the future

Speaker:

and I kid you not me being in that situation that in

Speaker:

like that circle with people better than me or people

Speaker:

like minded like me

Speaker:

it pushed me to become better myself

Speaker:

mm hmm right

Speaker:

so like I said

Speaker:

my mom would always be like uh

Speaker:

I don't know how you really say in English

Speaker:

but in Spanish would be like uh

Speaker:

what would you say I blanked out

Speaker:

it was like uh

Speaker:

surround yourself with uh

Speaker:

I guess lazy people you're gonna become yeah

Speaker:

yeah tell me who you're hanging out

Speaker:

tell you who you are exactly that

Speaker:

yeah yeah

Speaker:

she'd always tell me that I'd

Speaker:

I'd get annoyed like my my

Speaker:

no no no

Speaker:

like I'm

Speaker:

I'm not yeah I

Speaker:

but it was a sense of like man

Speaker:

I mean I was 19 years old

Speaker:

18 years old hanging out

Speaker:

doing nothing because my

Speaker:

my friends they didn't have any goals in life

Speaker:

they didn't want to they didn't have that hunger

Speaker:

that drive to like

Speaker:

make something for themselves right

Speaker:

they were comfortable in the position they're in

Speaker:

they had their girlfriends

Speaker:

we had our girlfriends we're just having fun whatever

Speaker:

yeah but as soon as I

Speaker:

like I said right

Speaker:

as soon as I surrounded myself with people

Speaker:

who are hungry for more and want something

Speaker:

I suddenly became one of them too

Speaker:

uh huh and it just proves that

Speaker:

you gotta choose your circle wisely right

Speaker:

uh huh and make sure you're in an environment where

Speaker:

I like to see you're not the best one in the room

Speaker:

I never want to be the best one in the room

Speaker:

uh huh

Speaker:

because if you are there's a problem

Speaker:

there's a problem

Speaker:

there's a problem if you're the best one in the room

Speaker:

exactly there

Speaker:

where you where's the growth

Speaker:

yeah right

Speaker:

so yeah bro

Speaker:

my mom was right the whole time

Speaker:

moms are usually right about everything

Speaker:

you know don't hang out with that person

Speaker:

that girl is gonna break your heart you

Speaker:

these people are not good for you

Speaker:

get your ass up they're

Speaker:

they always end up being right

Speaker:

it's kind of crazy yeah

Speaker:

especially about the girls part bro especially

Speaker:

tell me about it anyways

Speaker:

I mean yeah

Speaker:

it's um

Speaker:

it's really refreshing uh

Speaker:

for me to see uh

Speaker:

people our age or a little bit younger

Speaker:

a little bit older

Speaker:

doing something other than what the regular norm is

Speaker:

like for example

Speaker:

for me like

Speaker:

I had the option no

Speaker:

I didn't really have the option

Speaker:

but my parents wanted to force me into college right

Speaker:

they wanted to uh uh

Speaker:

make sure that I had a secure future

Speaker:

that I had the career the degree

Speaker:

yeah and like whatever

Speaker:

and then eventually you know

Speaker:

get married have kids

Speaker:

and then I guess

Speaker:

work until I die exactly right

Speaker:

and everyone around me like you said

Speaker:

had the same idea and for a very long time

Speaker:

I accepted that until I didn't

Speaker:

and when I didn't

Speaker:

that's when the whole switching friends group happened

Speaker:

that's when the whole self development

Speaker:

trying to get into the business world uh

Speaker:

start to happen and it's just a complete mind shift

Speaker:

a complete again

Speaker:

change in your life right

Speaker:

um you're lucky because you had like

Speaker:

the people in your corner

Speaker:

that were pushing you to do it

Speaker:

in my case I wasn't as um fortunate

Speaker:

I mostly it was mostly just myself

Speaker:

my friends were just doing their thing

Speaker:

going to parties drinking

Speaker:

smoking uh

Speaker:

chasing girls and for a very long time

Speaker:

like I said it was

Speaker:

is very lonely

Speaker:

it gets very lonely until you graduate from this whole

Speaker:

like lonely chapter thing

Speaker:

and then you evolve into the new set of friends

Speaker:

like you finally find people that are

Speaker:

you know like minded

Speaker:

and then when you find those people

Speaker:

just don't let them go

Speaker:

you stay in that room for as long as you can

Speaker:

as long as you can you suck up that growth

Speaker:

and then you become a newer

Speaker:

better version of yourself

Speaker:

which in the end that is the whole point of it

Speaker:

in the next

Speaker:

I don't say three to five years

Speaker:

where do you see yourself

Speaker:

not necessarily business wise

Speaker:

but as a person who is it that you want to become

Speaker:

who I want to become five years from now

Speaker:

yeah not necessarily like

Speaker:

you know oh yeah

Speaker:

we want to make a million dollars great

Speaker:

but like I'm a multi millionaire by there man

Speaker:

yeah of course

Speaker:

but like who is that person

Speaker:

what what is that person to you

Speaker:

I think um

Speaker:

I guess in a deeper sense

Speaker:

just wanna like actually be as cringe

Speaker:

as corny as it sounds like

Speaker:

happy with myself bro

Speaker:

right um

Speaker:

yeah I think every

Speaker:

I mean as an entrepreneur

Speaker:

as someone who's running a business every single day

Speaker:

I doubt myself right yeah

Speaker:

not just I guess the business

Speaker:

wise too but like

Speaker:

more so like the gym and everything

Speaker:

all that stuff how I look

Speaker:

how I feel uh huh

Speaker:

all that stuff hopefully by then like

Speaker:

I'm just like understand that like

Speaker:

everything happens for a reason okay

Speaker:

like

Speaker:

I feel confident with who I am

Speaker:

what I'm doing

Speaker:

and

Speaker:

I guess one thing I've been trying to work on a lot

Speaker:

is my relationship with god right

Speaker:

mm hmm with the Lord himself

Speaker:

hopefully by then

Speaker:

it's a lot stronger than what it is now

Speaker:

cause I did I grew up a Catholic

Speaker:

yeah but I didn't grow up like

Speaker:

I'll be honest my parents

Speaker:

we didn't go to church every single Sunday

Speaker:

we didn't do none of that stuff right

Speaker:

maybe I'll go to church like twice

Speaker:

twice a year yeah

Speaker:

twice three times a year

Speaker:

right now I go every single Sunday right

Speaker:

I like

Speaker:

I want to go I

Speaker:

it just brings this fulfillment

Speaker:

yeah to me

Speaker:

so hopefully by then I'm just overall like

Speaker:

a better person yeah

Speaker:

better guy cause don't get me wrong

Speaker:

I've had my past I know I've been disrespectful to

Speaker:

I guess the

Speaker:

like my past partners right

Speaker:

like I said stuff

Speaker:

I'm very immature

Speaker:

I don't think I'm mature enough yet to where I wanna be

Speaker:

so by then I definitely wanna be mature

Speaker:

and just be a better person

Speaker:

be a better man be a better yeah

Speaker:

a role model right

Speaker:

be like okay

Speaker:

like I'm not this douchebag that I was when I was 19

Speaker:

18 saying these stupid stuff

Speaker:

or just doing these meaningless like

Speaker:

things in life right

Speaker:

hopefully by then

Speaker:

I have a good sense of direction

Speaker:

of what what I'm doing

Speaker:

what I wanna be and just have that life where

Speaker:

like that I've always dreamed of having it right

Speaker:

like that being that I don't know that man

Speaker:

yeah the best version of myself

Speaker:

mm hmm

Speaker:

but yeah

Speaker:

I will definitely just not be this douchebag

Speaker:

that I've always been known to be bro

Speaker:

mm hmm yeah

Speaker:

kind of like um

Speaker:

it's weird because um

Speaker:

kind of in the same way

Speaker:

throughout high school it was um

Speaker:

a rough time for everybody that was involved with me

Speaker:

romantically you know

Speaker:

yeah douchebag exactly

Speaker:

not really caring it was tough and definitely

Speaker:

definitely entrepreneurship takes you

Speaker:

it's almost like a whole like

Speaker:

self reflection

Speaker:

uh

Speaker:

slap in the face like

Speaker:

you really do need to change your ways

Speaker:

in order to succeed yeah

Speaker:

and in like you said

Speaker:

in order and in that sense

Speaker:

it makes you a better person so

Speaker:

when it comes to being happy

Speaker:

I think that I feel the same way

Speaker:

you know I eventually want to be happy

Speaker:

but I don't think

Speaker:

I talked to this guy yesterday

Speaker:

his name is Caleb I'm pretty sure by this

Speaker:

by the time this goes up his interview will be out

Speaker:

he so he manages his dad's um

Speaker:

his dad's business and then he started his own uh

Speaker:

like this year

Speaker:

you know he's closing this year off

Speaker:

like at 100 k or something like that

Speaker:

okay fine

Speaker:

but

Speaker:

I've never in my life seen a man as happy as this man

Speaker:

really yeah

Speaker:

he's 26 years old

Speaker:

he's been managing his dad's business for like

Speaker:

maybe like 3

Speaker:

4 years started his this year

Speaker:

and this man is content he is absolutely thrilled

Speaker:

he's not rushing anything

Speaker:

he is taking his time

Speaker:

he has a beautiful relationship with his girl

Speaker:

and he he was telling

Speaker:

he was telling us about that

Speaker:

and like I tell you

Speaker:

I was I was ready to go into this

Speaker:

into the interview talking about business and whatever

Speaker:

numbers and metrics and systems

Speaker:

we ended up talking about emotions

Speaker:

we ended up talking about relationships

Speaker:

we ended up talking like

Speaker:

how to love yourself and accept yourself

Speaker:

and so like

Speaker:

the fact that you tell me like

Speaker:

I just wanna be happy

Speaker:

I wanna be a better version of myself

Speaker:

I don't think necessarily

Speaker:

you have to go through all the pain

Speaker:

of entrepreneurship and starting something new

Speaker:

in order to make that happen

Speaker:

oh yeah

Speaker:

I can see that for sure yeah

Speaker:

because I mean again

Speaker:

there's this man that just started it

Speaker:

and he's doing 100 k which is like

Speaker:

the easiest thing to do in the world

Speaker:

at least when you get to that point

Speaker:

and like

Speaker:

I don't I again

Speaker:

you know Caleb you

Speaker:

I know you're watching this so like

Speaker:

shout out to you but it's

Speaker:

it's insane you don't need to

Speaker:

you don't need to like

Speaker:

psychologically mess yourself up in a business

Speaker:

in order to be happy

Speaker:

sometimes you can find it in any other way

Speaker:

so I think that

Speaker:

you might be closer to your goal than you think

Speaker:

maybe you just need to take a few steps back

Speaker:

look up and not only just me

Speaker:

maybe be grateful but take it all in

Speaker:

you know you have the ability

Speaker:

and the freedom to do what it is that you want

Speaker:

whenever you want

Speaker:

that in itself is a blessing

Speaker:

but you're also surrounded by people that

Speaker:

not only respect you

Speaker:

but love you and want the best for you

Speaker:

so maybe maybe that is enough

Speaker:

you know it's just something to think about

Speaker:

yeah bro

Speaker:

never really thought about that way

Speaker:

I think I always grew up insecure bro

Speaker:

I'll be honest right

Speaker:

I was always a fat kid mm hmm

Speaker:

so I think that's the reason why I love the gym so much

Speaker:

because I get to better myself in the thing

Speaker:

you know chase that goal

Speaker:

I ever had that goal I had since I was a kid

Speaker:

so I mean

Speaker:

I'll be honest I always struggled with

Speaker:

uh accepting who I am myself

Speaker:

yeah accepting myself right

Speaker:

especially uh

Speaker:

short short guy right here right

Speaker:

hey Short Kings

Speaker:

Short Kings

Speaker:

and so that also like

Speaker:

played a role right

Speaker:

like I'm short

Speaker:

I'm fat like whatever

Speaker:

but I mean

Speaker:

you can't control everything in life

Speaker:

and everything's meant to happen for a reason

Speaker:

I'm the way I am for a reason right

Speaker:

and I have these goals for a reason

Speaker:

so I'm just going day by day

Speaker:

you know with this mindset that I'll make it happen

Speaker:

and one day I'll have it you know

Speaker:

yeah I'll reach that and go

Speaker:

whatever it is yeah

Speaker:

I'll I'll do it because

Speaker:

I mean it's what I'm destined for

Speaker:

that's like how it's like to see yep

Speaker:

what I'm called for right

Speaker:

yeah bro

Speaker:

yeah sometimes it's a little closer than you think

Speaker:

yeah but that's great dude

Speaker:

I think we're gonna wrap it up

Speaker:

so we can get it hawking in here

Speaker:

hawking in um

Speaker:

I believe in premium guys

Speaker:

believe in premium believe in premium

Speaker:

before we wrap up two things

Speaker:

one um

Speaker:

you have any questions for me

Speaker:

anything you wanna know any questions

Speaker:

advice you want yeah

Speaker:

I guess bro

Speaker:

like let me ask you like

Speaker:

what made you cause you mentioned the whole college

Speaker:

like your parents

Speaker:

me too right

Speaker:

my parents college

Speaker:

college college

Speaker:

even still now right

Speaker:

like college

Speaker:

college now

Speaker:

I don't care OK

Speaker:

sure you made 100 k whatever

Speaker:

but to this day my mother still like

Speaker:

when are you gonna go to college

Speaker:

when are you gonna get a degree

Speaker:

when are you gonna get a degree

Speaker:

I'm just like

Speaker:

at this point I'm just like mom

Speaker:

someday someday yeah

Speaker:

you just gotta be like yeah mom

Speaker:

I'm in the world like

Speaker:

am I right now oh

Speaker:

my god we'll do this

Speaker:

Alex put this out to the world

Speaker:

like I

Speaker:

I failed all my classes this semester

Speaker:

except for one class

Speaker:

and my mom thinks I passed all of them

Speaker:

and now she's been asking me for the past week hey

Speaker:

I think I think Nova's like

Speaker:

classes ended already like

Speaker:

where are your grades like

Speaker:

let me see your grades I keep putting it off

Speaker:

yeah but truth

Speaker:

I mean

Speaker:

it's meant to happen we'll see

Speaker:

but I guess my question is

Speaker:

um

Speaker:

since you know

Speaker:

your parents were pushing you for like

Speaker:

college college college

Speaker:

like what actually made you start that business

Speaker:

like why

Speaker:

okay so

Speaker:

let me take you through what I thought

Speaker:

and what I did in that moment

Speaker:

so

Speaker:

from from the beginning

Speaker:

I knew that I wanted a lot of money

Speaker:

okay and I wanted it

Speaker:

and then I wanted a lot of money

Speaker:

first of all because grew up

Speaker:

you know again like

Speaker:

first generation uh

Speaker:

American uh

Speaker:

my parents when they came

Speaker:

we didn't have a lot we didn't grow up on a lot

Speaker:

there's a lot of things that I wanted but

Speaker:

you know we couldn't get and stuff

Speaker:

and started working very early on

Speaker:

I started working at 14 trying to make my own money

Speaker:

buy my own things buy my own shoes

Speaker:

yeah my own everything

Speaker:

and so I was like I don't want this for my kids ever

Speaker:

I don't want anybody to go through this under my care

Speaker:

right so I was like OK

Speaker:

literally I gotta make a

Speaker:

I gotta make a shit ton of money

Speaker:

so I would literally sit there and I would be like

Speaker:

uh top paying jobs

Speaker:

like like

Speaker:

what is it like 2018 or something like that

Speaker:

whenever I looked at it and I was like okay

Speaker:

we have like like uh

Speaker:

surgeon like some kind of doctor

Speaker:

uh lawyer

Speaker:

this and this I was like okay

Speaker:

you know maybe I wanna be a doctor

Speaker:

so then I would I would be OK

Speaker:

what do I have to do to be a doctor

Speaker:

and then it's like fucking doctor school for 12 years

Speaker:

after college and after high school

Speaker:

I'm just like dude

Speaker:

I'm gonna spend the next what

Speaker:

26 years of my life not even 26

Speaker:

like probably like 15 years of my life

Speaker:

doing college and doctor school and all that shit

Speaker:

just to what make like

Speaker:

three hundred thousand dollars or something a year

Speaker:

there's someone out there just makes like that

Speaker:

exactly so I was like okay

Speaker:

there has to be an easier way

Speaker:

cause there's people making bajillions of dollars

Speaker:

what am I doing wrong so then I would look at

Speaker:

you know entrepreneurs

Speaker:

people that started companies

Speaker:

CEOs and be okay

Speaker:

do they have a college degree

Speaker:

what is it why

Speaker:

why are they so special and then you go down this like

Speaker:

whole rabbit hole of things

Speaker:

and then I was like okay

Speaker:

maybe I just need to start something

Speaker:

and then that's when you go into the

Speaker:

into the okay

Speaker:

what am I gonna end up doing

Speaker:

you get into like

Speaker:

the whole hamster wheel of entrepreneurship

Speaker:

and doing this and doing that

Speaker:

different business models

Speaker:

and throughout the whole thing

Speaker:

I constantly have my parents in the back of my head

Speaker:

like college college

Speaker:

college college

Speaker:

college college

Speaker:

and at some point I was just like bro

Speaker:

like I'm tired of this like

Speaker:

like no

Speaker:

I don't want to do this you know I

Speaker:

I don't want to I

Speaker:

I would tell bro

Speaker:

we would go into arguments

Speaker:

and I was like mom

Speaker:

I don't want to do this like

Speaker:

just let me figure this out on my own

Speaker:

and then she's like no

Speaker:

I'm doing this for your own good

Speaker:

uh like

Speaker:

you need to you need to do better than us

Speaker:

blah blah blah

Speaker:

and I'm just like you have a point

Speaker:

I get it you know

Speaker:

you're doing this out of love

Speaker:

yeah you know

Speaker:

no one not doing it out of

Speaker:

just because doing it out of love but it's like

Speaker:

you have to have that self belief that

Speaker:

like undeniably

Speaker:

almost insane self belief

Speaker:

that somehow you're gonna make it work

Speaker:

in order to happen

Speaker:

and sometimes you just need to not say anything

Speaker:

shut up and just do exactly

Speaker:

just do the thing actions

Speaker:

I Learned that bro

Speaker:

I Learned that yeah

Speaker:

cause you can you can argue

Speaker:

and you can argue as much as you want

Speaker:

like they're

Speaker:

they're adults the thing about adults is that

Speaker:

nothing gets to their head right

Speaker:

they've lived 30 40+ years with the idea of how life is

Speaker:

through their heads

Speaker:

they're not gonna change their habits

Speaker:

that it's fine they're

Speaker:

they're already built like that

Speaker:

so the only thing you can really do is prove them wrong

Speaker:

exactly right

Speaker:

um and so I was like

Speaker:

I was like okay mom listen

Speaker:

this is what I'm gonna do

Speaker:

I'll go to college

Speaker:

but I'm also gonna I'm also gonna do this on the side

Speaker:

and then we'll see what pops out first

Speaker:

and then I mean

Speaker:

I dropped out of college without her knowing

Speaker:

how long you've been dropped out for

Speaker:

oh I've been dropped out for like years

Speaker:

I I think I only did it like

Speaker:

maybe half a semester maybe like a month

Speaker:

a month tops and I was like

Speaker:

this is not for me bro

Speaker:

yeah cause I

Speaker:

cause I went in for a business administration

Speaker:

that's what I mean bro

Speaker:

and I'm just like

Speaker:

this is so dumb oh my gosh

Speaker:

this is so boring I could not do it

Speaker:

and so I was like okay

Speaker:

well then I started the thing

Speaker:

and then I

Speaker:

I have Learned more in the past three years

Speaker:

that I have in like

Speaker:

my 18 year or like 12 year long public education

Speaker:

so yeah

Speaker:

yeah and I've also made more money than like

Speaker:

the fucking six years that I've been working at all

Speaker:

so it's um

Speaker:

it's definitely something to think about it

Speaker:

but it's it's still to this day like

Speaker:

when are you gonna do this

Speaker:

when are you gonna do that

Speaker:

when are you gonna get your degree

Speaker:

go to school do something

Speaker:

do you think it'll ever go away

Speaker:

it'll go away maybe when I tell her mom

Speaker:

you don't have to work again

Speaker:

yeah or maybe

Speaker:

hey mom

Speaker:

I bought you this go over there

Speaker:

my mom tells me

Speaker:

I don't care how much money you're gonna make

Speaker:

you can you can make hundred 300

Speaker:

400 k like k a year

Speaker:

you still gotta get a degree yeah

Speaker:

she tells me that I'm just like

Speaker:

I'm just like okay mom listen

Speaker:

maybe someday

Speaker:

when I have a shit ton of money and I have like

Speaker:

a bunch of time

Speaker:

maybe I'll go in and I'll do it just for you haha

Speaker:

but until then no

Speaker:

yeah I mean she

Speaker:

she at this point

Speaker:

I mean she's calmed down definitely

Speaker:

she's kind of

Speaker:

accepted the fact that I'm doing this for a living

Speaker:

okay so it just takes time

Speaker:

and sometimes you know

Speaker:

moving away uh

Speaker:

living by yourself kind of helps out that relationship

Speaker:

as well so you live alone

Speaker:

I do

Speaker:

yeah I

Speaker:

I have yeah

Speaker:

I'm the one that kind of encouraged Bristol to move out

Speaker:

no way bro I

Speaker:

yeah I moved out at 18

Speaker:

wow yeah it's

Speaker:

it's good it has its perks and it has its downfalls

Speaker:

I bet I bet

Speaker:

I bet I bet

Speaker:

but I mean

Speaker:

I had I had to get

Speaker:

I had to do I cannot stay there

Speaker:

for my own sanity and for my parents sanity

Speaker:

I just had to go so

Speaker:

I wanna move out dude

Speaker:

I wanna move out you shouldn't

Speaker:

next year should I

Speaker:

yeah I want to

Speaker:

this is like I literally copy and paste conversation

Speaker:

copy and paste I'll tell you

Speaker:

I'll tell you this I'll tell you this

Speaker:

tell me why I should move out

Speaker:

like sell me on why

Speaker:

I'll tell you why you shouldn't

Speaker:

why I shouldn't yeah

Speaker:

I don't need to I don't need to tell you why you should

Speaker:

because everybody knows you should

Speaker:

yeah I'll tell you why you shouldn't move out

Speaker:

tell me don't move out if you don't believe in yourself

Speaker:

right don't move out if you don't think you have the

Speaker:

you have the responsibility

Speaker:

or if you don't think that you can

Speaker:

take on the responsibility

Speaker:

of taking care of yourself

Speaker:

don't move out

Speaker:

if you don't think you can make the money uh

Speaker:

in time don't move out

Speaker:

if you're gonna go into debt

Speaker:

don't move out if

Speaker:

if you're moving out for the wrong reasons

Speaker:

as in like

Speaker:

to have more freedom to do whatever you want

Speaker:

to go out whenever you want

Speaker:

don't move out

Speaker:

if you're gonna move out just to bring girls in

Speaker:

don't move out you know

Speaker:

they're all pointing at you

Speaker:

they're all pointing at you

Speaker:

I don't know anything I don't know anything

Speaker:

I'm just saying I'm looking

Speaker:

my business partner right now

Speaker:

this guy dang

Speaker:

this time in the back is crazy

Speaker:

but um yeah

Speaker:

I mean like

Speaker:

it's great and all but

Speaker:

it definitely takes a level of responsibility

Speaker:

and self accountability

Speaker:

because there's no one stopping you

Speaker:

there's no one looking over your shoulder

Speaker:

there's no one cooking meals for you

Speaker:

there's no one telling you to make your bed

Speaker:

to pick up your clothes

Speaker:

there's no one cleaning the bathroom for you

Speaker:

there's no one that's gonna be like

Speaker:

open the door for me like

Speaker:

you have to have your own key

Speaker:

you know in a way

Speaker:

so it's like yeah

Speaker:

it's a lot more than goes with

Speaker:

than just paying rent

Speaker:

so it's also like you literally going out in

Speaker:

into the world by yourself

Speaker:

so it's a lot to think about

Speaker:

but again the upsides are infinite

Speaker:

I guess growth

Speaker:

why so much growth it comes from there a lot of

Speaker:

not even just business growth

Speaker:

just like

Speaker:

overall personal growth like growth yeah

Speaker:

you really figure yourself out when you're by yourself

Speaker:

does it get lonely like

Speaker:

when you actually it gets very lonely

Speaker:

it gets very lonely I mean

Speaker:

there's a period of time it's like

Speaker:

I don't know two

Speaker:

three months that I just

Speaker:

I would not I wouldn't go anywhere

Speaker:

I was really busy I would just work

Speaker:

come home

Speaker:

work more work more

Speaker:

work more get up

Speaker:

like go to sleep

Speaker:

get up do the same thing over and over again

Speaker:

and it gets lonely and sometimes

Speaker:

sometimes when you're in the thick of it

Speaker:

and you're like doing this over and over again

Speaker:

16 hour days whatever

Speaker:

you don't realize anything

Speaker:

you don't realize how you're feeling

Speaker:

because you're too busy doing it

Speaker:

but then when you have that final rest

Speaker:

and you're settling down and you're like

Speaker:

on your couch eating something

Speaker:

you're like fuck

Speaker:

I'm so lonely like where

Speaker:

where are my boys my boys are busy in college

Speaker:

or my boys are busy working

Speaker:

or they're with their girlfriends

Speaker:

or they're doing this or they're doing that

Speaker:

and I'm just like hmm

Speaker:

it'd be nice to maybe have my mom here

Speaker:

or not you know

Speaker:

I guess 100% and then again

Speaker:

that's good and that's bad

Speaker:

and good in the fact that you miss

Speaker:

and you value a little bit more

Speaker:

mm hmm um

Speaker:

and probably bad in the fact that you just need to like

Speaker:

it's a phase that you need to grow out of right

Speaker:

and it's something that you need to get through

Speaker:

but it does get lonely but sometimes lonely is good

Speaker:

yeah I guess you get uncomfortable right

Speaker:

it's been I have

Speaker:

I have a roommate now so it's all good

Speaker:

but I mean I don't mind

Speaker:

I like I don't mind being by myself

Speaker:

at first it was a big problem with me

Speaker:

I didn't want to be alone

Speaker:

but now it's just like you know

Speaker:

you learn to accept yourself

Speaker:

you learn to be happy with yourself

Speaker:

Speaker:

and once you do that

Speaker:

there's really nothing that can stop you
