  1. To obtain financial freedom, one must either be a business owner, an investor or both, generating passive income particularly weekly or monthly basis. That’s the key to living a financially stability,.,.,

  2. $141 mil in revenue is not profit, what’s the profit? I’m sure you made a lot more the $34k, so no point in misleading people by comparing apples and oranges.

  3. Everybody is concerned about the market going down but refusing to take advantage of it. The best decision I ever made in my life was :nvesting in the crypt0 market. Trust me guys, it really pays a lot! 😊

  4. Wow. I hope to be working for my own business in a year or two. With what I sell, I highly doubt I’ll get to $1 million but to be able to work for my own business would be amazing. And to be debt free would be amazing also. I was almost there, but then some unexpected medical debt popped up. But this gives me inspiration to keep going, even if it takes a few years.

  5. This is an absolute delight. I had the pleasure of reading something similar, and it was an absolute delight. "The Hidden Empire: Inside the Private Worlds of Elite CEOs" by Adam Skylight

  6. If it's on youtube it must true. Also people never lie about how they achieved business success. Success is easy you can do it too must be the whole story or God stepped in with a check or maybe a guru. Sick of these stories of lies. In reality I achieved business success because of a connected family, money passed down, 24 hour work days, white lies, fake it till you make it, lots of debt, etc.

  7. Wow. At 35 years old and made a company that does that much revenue in just 10 years. Started on eBay. Good story. Thanks for sharing.
