The LARGEST BOOTSTRAPPED COMPANY ON THE PLANET grew from 0->$500+ Billion by breaking all the rules...

You know the brand, but you don't know their story 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽
1/ Sam returned from the war in 1945 after 3 years in intelligence.

Taking a loan from his father-in-law, he bought his first store, a Ben Franklin 5 and dime in Newport Arkansas.

He didn't know it at the time, but he had one of the worst leases in retail history...
2/ His rent was 5% of sales.

No renewal clause. He had barely even read the contract.

His father-in-law was stunned by his mistake.

Most expected Sam to close shop within the first couple years. Instead, he started doing things his way...

Starting a company is hard.

The hardest part: the euphoric ups followed by the VICIOUS downs

I wasn’t satisfied that this was “the way it had to be”

I started digging. Worked with a coach. Read books

Here’s the #1 I learned to fight the ups and downs

I do it daily 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽
1/ First, let’s back up.

One thing entrepreneurs all have in common is that we are HUMAN.

Newsflash: Humans weren’t designed to be happy. We were designed for one thing: survival.

Now if you were designing an animal to survive, what are some things you may give it?
2/ How about an alert system?

Something to let them know they should be careful or stop doing something: EMOTIONS

Fear - what wants to be paid attention to?
Anger - what wants to be stopped?
Sadness - what wants to be let go?
Joy - what Wants to be celebrated?

What else?

After 7 years of being an entrepreneur, I felt empty and a bit lost.

I wanted to tap into the energy of a beginner again.

My coach challenged me: What's the ONE thing you can’t not do?

The thing that's always with you?

I was silent...
2/ After a few minutes of thinking I responded:

I love helping other people raise their game, to learn and grow and be the best versions of themselves.

I think entrepreneurship is the ultimate dojo.

My WHY became clear.
3/ I want to inspire more entrepreneurs to bootstrap.

While I have nothing against VC, I think bootstrapping is an equally viable path.

I love learning about new businesses.

I love teaching.

I love connecting people.

So I started writing🧵s about bootstrapped giants...

At 31, this Korean-American immigrant bootstrapped a business from 1 client to over 6 BILLION DOLLARS in revenue.

The amazing part?

Her business is now the largest WOMAN owned business in America…

…And you’ve never heard of it.

I am so inspired 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽
1/ Thai Lee was born in 1958 in Thailand

Her father was a Korean economist who moved the family around Asia every few years

As a kid, Thai’s pastime was planning how to survive if N. Korea ever invaded the south

At the age of 13, she and her sisters took a courageous leap...
2/ They moved to America to live with a family friend and attended school In Amherst

She majored in Bio and Econ for one reason: they didn’t require much English

Thai took to the American Dream

One day she dreamed of being an entrepreneur

But first, she broke down barriers…

I love bootstrapping.

To succeed as a founder, you have to find every advantage you can. Especially ones that provide non-dilutive capital.

I recently discovered a new co and loved them so much I partnered with them

Here's the story and a special deal I got for my followers👇🏽
1) Scaling ads for DTC kept me in a vicious cycle:

- The more I spend, the faster I have to pay down my card. My card has 30 day terms, but ends up being 7

- When campaign performance looks off, I call 5 friends to confirm they're seeing the same

- Points don't help me scale
2) I got a call from my friend and fellow entrepreneur @jamesborow.

We used to be competitors. I was CEO of Ampush and he was CEO of SHIFT (which he sold to Snap)
