I found a guy who goes around the US asking 70 to 100-year-olds their:

• Biggest Regrets
• Biggest Lessons
• Advice to their younger self

Oddly enough, most of their answers are the same…

Here are my top 8:

8.
7.
6.
5.
4.
3.
2.

Bonus (he’s 63).
Notice how they all say what's most important/they regret not prioritizing is:

• Health
• Family time
• Experiences
• Relationships
• Enjoying each day

& they realized money & working hard is not important...
Thankfully, I've realized this at 34.

Which is why I retired from my 9-5 at 30 & now spend my time:

• With my daughters & wife
• Prioritizing health
• Traveling

My biggest fear is having regrets at 70-100 years old.

I'm living my life now so that won't be a problem.

The secret to a 6-figure vending business:

High level locations.

After placing 75+ vending machines...

Here are the 5 WORST vs 5 BEST vending locations that will make or break your business: Image
Image
The 5 WORST places to put your vending machines:

1. One-chair barbershops

The traffic just isn't there.

I learned this the hard way.

A location with only a handful of customers per day won't generate enough sales to even cover your gas to restock it. Image
2. Car wash bays

The humidity destroys your machine's electronics and ruins your product.

Water and electronics don't mix - you'll spend more on maintenance than you'll make in profit. Image

Don’t spend $3,000 on the newest MacBook.

Instead, invest in a Smart Cooler that can pay you $3,000 every month.

(I own 5 of these that each make ~$3k/month)

Best part?

No big down payment needed.

Here's how you can start yours: Image
What is a Smart Cooler?

They’re basically modern versions of a vending machine.

They're also a lot bigger...

This means instead of just chips & soda, you can stock:

• Salads
• Smoothies
• Sandwiches

& make a lot more money.

Here’s how:
1. Find a location.

Unattended retail is in high demand right now.

I’ve placed 5 & have helped countless others place their own.

You want to target locations that have high foot traffic.

Places like:

• Office buildings
• Apartment complexes
• Manufacturing facilities

Don’t spend $5,000 on a nice watch.

Instead, invest in a Micromarket that can pay you $5,000 every month.

(One of mine makes $17k/month).

Best part?

No big down payment needed.

Here's how you can start yours: Image
1. What are Micromarkets?

Micromarkets are the future of passive income.

They're basically high-end vending machines:

• 0 employees needed
• High profit margins
• Unlimited earning potential

I've placed 5 myself & helped countless others do the same.

Now, to get started…
2. You first need to find the perfect location.

Look for high-traffic areas like:

• Office buildings
• Apartment complexes
• Manufacturing facilities

Reach out to property managers by email, phone, or in person.

You can start a vending machine business with < $500 & scale it to 50+ machines in 4 years.

(I did this)

Here's your exact blueprint for 2025 (Updated): Image
Image
1. Start smart, not big.

Less than $500.

That's all you need to start a 6-figure vending business.

Don’t go overboard here.

Here's how to get your first machine with $0 down: Image
2. The golden rule of vending:

First of all…

Don't buy a machine until you have a location secured.

Focus on finding the right spot first.

Otherwise, you're making payments on a machine collecting dust in your garage.
