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

1. One-chair barbershops

The key to creating true freedom:

Boring businesses.

If you want to start a real, reliable business…

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

1. What is a Micromarket?

Think vending machine meets convenience store.

Micromarkets are:

• Unattended retail spaces
• Self-checkout systems
• Stocked with products people need daily

They're perfect for apartments, offices, gyms, and hospitals.

This vending machine makes me $1,200/month.

But instead of me splitting profits with the owner...

He actually pays me to have my machine at the location.

I wasn't going to reveal this strategy…

But here it is:

🧵 Here's the breakdown:

• Revenue: $1,200/month
• Cost of Goods: $360
• Software & transaction fees: $120
• Operator: $120
• Profit: $600/month.

I don't pay rent or split profits with the owner.

In fact…

There are 2 fundamentally different types of happiness:

1. Hedonic (pleasure)
2. Eudaimonic (meaning)

Most people chase the wrong one…

& it costs them everything.

Understanding the difference will transform your approach to life: 🧵 You can see this paradox everywhere:

• The millionaire who's deeply depressed
• The celebrity who struggles with addiction
• The social media star who feels completely empty

Why is this?

They’ve chased hedonic happiness while neglecting eudaimonic fulfillment.

Let me explain…

Naval just spent 3 hours with Chris Williamson.

They discussed exactly how to find true wealth, freedom & happiness.

This conversation will change your life…

This is Michael Jordan.

His Nike shoe deal makes him $400,000,000/year in passive income.

I'm no NBA legend...

But I make $300,000+/year passively.

Here's how I did it as a normal guy: 1. I Started With One Vending Machine

I bought my first vending machine and placed it in an apartment complex lobby.

• I financed it with $0 down payment
• I stocked it with snacks, energy drinks, and water

That first machine started generating profit from day one.

I grew my vending business to $25,000/month in 2024.

If I had to start over from 0 & wanted to do it again in 2025…

Here’s exactly what I’d do (Bookmark This):
1. Find a location in my city.

I’d google the following locations within 30 minutes of me:

• Apartment complexes
• College/University campuses
• Businesses with 100+ employees

& make a list of each one's email/phone numbers.

After I make my list, I’d move on to step 2:

You were born with 2.3 billion seconds to live.

You’re a time billionaire.

Whether you’re in your 20s or your 60s…

This concept will forever change how you view life:

🧵 "The Time Billionaire" is a concept from Graham Duncan.

It's simple math:

The average global life expectancy is 73 years.

73 years = 2.3 billion seconds.

As soon as you're born...

The countdown from 2.3 billion starts.

So what does this really mean?

I noticed a dying vending machine at my gym.

Asked if I could replace it with mine…

6 months later:

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

The pitch?

Stock it with protein snacks & energy drinks.
