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 7 (Part 2):

6. This ones from part 1.

But it was just too good not to include.

If you want help starting your Passive Income journey in addition to your
9-to-5...

DM me "Passive" and let's chat. 🥤
I know I said this in part 1…

But 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. Image
What are you scared of regretting when you're older?

One of my smart coolers makes $5,000/month.

And it's completely automated.

• No employees
• No restocking headaches
• Just passive income while I sleep

Here's exactly how I did it (& how you can too): Image
1. What's a smart cooler?

Think luxury vending, but better:

• Locked door with card reader
• AI cameras track what you grab
• No scanning or checkout needed
• Completely automated inventory

Way more advanced than old school vending machines.
2. Location is everything.

I found my $5k/month spot through cold outreach:

• Luxury apartment complex
• Next to a college campus
• High foot traffic 24/7
• Perfect for late night munchies

The best part?

Students don't think twice about convenience.

This Micromarket makes $17,000/month.

The crazy part?

It requires 0 employees.

Even better?

You can start one with $0 down.

Here's exactly how I did it (and how you can too): Image
1. First, let me explain what a Micromarket is.

I used to think vending was just snacks & sodas.

But Micromarkets changed everything:

• Way bigger than regular vending machines
• Multiple shelves & coolers
• Can stock fresh food, drinks, & essentials
• Completely automated with AI cameras
2. Location is everything.

I found my $17k/month location through cold outreach.

The perfect spot?

A luxury apartment building that:

• Has short-term rental units
• Caters to business travelers
• Gets constant foot traffic 24/7

These travelers expense everything - perfect for high sales.

5 years ago I placed my first vending machine.

Now I have 50+ machines that pay me $25,000/month profit.

Here are 7 vending tricks I wish I knew before I started: Image
Image
7. Every location is a lead.

Just because a location already has a vending machine, doesn't mean they're happy with it.

Myself & Vendingpreneurs have had a ton of success with locations that already have machines but they're:
• Outdated
• Unhappy with the service
• Looking for a modern upgrade

A lot of these places aren't happy with their current vending situation.

So don't count them out.

Always ask & explain the benefits of your modern, luxury machine (Smart Coolers, Micromarkets, etc)

I noticed a dying vending machine at my gym.

Asked if I could replace it with mine…

6 months later:

$11,400 profit without leaving my house.

Here's the exact system I used (costs less than $380): Image
Image
1. Finding the Opportunity

I noticed something at my local gym:

They had a vending machine, but nobody used it.

So I spoke to the owner about replacing it with mine.

The pitch?

Stock it with protein snacks & energy drinks.
2. Making the Deal

His first question:

"What do we get out of this?"

My offer was simple:

• I handle all maintenance
• Pay them 5% of the profits
• Keep their members happy

He said yes immediately.

My 51 vending machine route made $445,345 last year.

It took me 5 years to scale.

But you can do it in less than 2 weeks…

Here's how you can find a route, buy it, & make 6-figures/year from it: Image
Image
1. Finding Routes

First, search these platforms:

• Facebook Marketplace
• Craigslist
• BizBuySell
• Local listings

Pro tip:

Ask property managers for their current vendor's contact info.
2. Location Analysis

Two things matter:

The location:

• Consistent foot traffic
• Professional environment
• Limited food options nearby

The machines:

• Working condition
• Payment systems
• Age & maintenance
