I started first business in 2015 and last month we did $4.7M in revenue.
How? A (sort of) comprehensive list 👇
1. Treat your clients and customers exactly the way you’d want to be treated if you were the customer.
Easier said than done.
2. Don’t overload the features.
Whether you’re selling SaaS, tangibles or “invisible product” like consulting — better to provide 2 things than 200 things. Simplify.
3. Use paid advertising EARLY.
Our last company went from $0 to 7-figures a month in under 8 months. Cause we used money to acquire and validate product. Paid ads buys you time.
4. Partner up.
Fastest way for you to think bigger is to partner with someone who thinks (and acts) bigger and capture the osmosis. Better a lower percentage of a bigger pie.
5. Make it fun.
If you’re working just for the money people like me will lap you while you burnout and crash land... work for a mission and for the fun of it or you lose the power 💪
Money follows energy ⚡️
More where this came from.
Make it viral and I will post a book a day for you 😂

My path from zero to 100M (and the trajectory to 1B) 💰
Gather around I have a story to tell... I am the most transparent wealth builder in history and do not see you as competition but as a partners. We win together.
Here’s how I did it 👇
1- 2014 I made $14k at a church...
It was my dream for a long time but I knew it wasn’t what I was called to do long term. I transitioned to a real estate firm and I did property management for $28k/year. Learned on the job...
2- I read 10 books that year...

Getting Things Done, David Allen

The First 90 Days, Michael Watkins
Tested Advertising Methods, John Caples
The Dip, Seth Godin
Last Friday I started my Twitter with about 100 followers.
Today I’m at 5,000 and increasing daily.
Although I’m not an expert (yet), I’ve been strategic for my first week and I think it’s repeatable, if you were to model 👇
🏆 Post seriously valuable sh*t
My 3rd of 4th tweet (can’t remember it was a week ago) was a breakdown of how I’ve created $100,000 per MONTH in real estate passive cashflow...
It’s the stuff you’d normally find in a $10k course - posted in a thread, for free.
🏆 Be a decent human
But for real... I’ve helped clients, friends, and colleagues for years now grow their businesses. A few of my past clients and friends are already Twitter pros — they like me because I’m not a self-absorbed hack and helped me get this off the ground.
[a] how much do you want to make per year?
[b] how much do you want to work to produce it?
[c] divide the income by the hours and you get:
💰 your target hourly rate
Use your target hourly rate to make decisions... not your current hourly rate.
If you want to make $350k/yr and work 20 hrs/week to get it you’ve got an hourly rate of $350/hr... start acting on it. Doing things yourself is costly too (-$350/hr).
RULE: if you can pay less than $350/hr to get something done for you, pay for it and outsource.
-Fly first class (or private if you can swing it)
-Pay for expedited shipping
-Outsource lawncare, cleaning, grocery shopping, etc...
I’m buying $3-4m of private real estate every month.
But I didn’t start out with money and I didn’t start at this level. Starting “big” is often a bad idea. I started small and worked my way up.
Here’s how I did it - to model for your own empire:
🏆 You only need one deal
A lot of people overcomplicate it too much. You don’t need 10 deals — you need one deal. One deal under your belt and THEN you can roll the momentum from that into 2, 3, etc...
🏆 My first deal was bad
A small 1800 sf place in Alabama. I thought the rehab would be $25k and it ended up being $40k👎 I purchased for $80k and thought it would be worth $150k, but it wasn’t.. it was worth $120k 👎 all in all I lost about $5k on the deal.
