I built a $1M+ business in 19 months after getting laid off.

• Didn't flip houses
• Didn't buy a Laundromat
• Didn't invest in dividend stocks

I started a business most people ignore because it's "too boring."

Here's exactly how it works: September 2023: Lost my real estate job (high interest rates killing sales)

Had a mortgage, 2 kids, bills, etc…

I could have taken a job making $200k+

But it required constant travel, and I’d be missing all that time with my kids.

At 39 I got laid off, had a mortgage, 2 kids under 5 & no idea what was next.

Now at 41 I make $102K+/month, drive my kids to school every morning & am the happiest I’ve ever been.

Here's how I did it (so you can too):
Step 1: Choose freedom over security.

When I got laid off, I had two options:
→ Take a $200-250K corporate job but travel constantly
→ Bet on myself and build something

Most people take the "safe" paycheck.

I chose time with my family over a guaranteed salary.

That decision changed everything.

90% of businesses fail.

Because 90% of people try to start the risky ones...

Here are 7 simple businesses with the highest success rate going into 2026 (that anyone can start):

1. Laundromats. 94% success rate.

Laundromats are a tried & true business that has been around forever.

They have high success rates due to their simple business model:

Customers bring their laundry, wash it themselves, & then dry it.

& Everyone is a repeat customer.

The ultimate cash-flow business:

Vending machines.

• AI driven
• Accept digital payments
• Make money 24/7/365

Here's your step by step blueprint to get started: Step 1: Financing options available

Many suppliers offer financing:

• Various payment plans exist
• Some with low/no down payment options
• Monthly payments vary by machine type

Research suppliers like Cantaloupe, 365retailmarkets, and Evending for current terms.

Average monthly payment: $100-300 depending on machine
Potential profit per machine: $500-1,000+ (varies by location)

A boring business is the easiest way to achieve financial freedom.

So, I found the most foolproof options for anyone to start in 2025.

Here are my top 8:
1. Self-storage

This guy turned down every major record label that wanted to sign him.

• Warner
• Def Jam
• Columbia

They all offered him millions.

He said no to all of them.

99% of artists would kill for ONE of these deals…

Here's why walking away was the smartest move he ever made: In 2016, Russ was grinding harder than anyone in music.

He dropped a song every single week for 2 years straight.

No label. No marketing team. No budget.

Just him in his basement.

Then the labels came calling…

I’m 40.

I have two young kids, ages 5 & 7.

Here are the 13 life lessons I’m teaching them every single day: 1. "Treat others how you want to be treated"

I tell every property manager they can call me directly.

No assistants. No waiting.

My kids asked why.

"Because that's how I'd want to be treated."

The golden rule works in life and business.

He was one of the biggest stars on the planet.

Then he disappeared from Hollywood.

No one knew why…

So here’s the real story of what happened to Jim Carrey: In the 90s and early 2000s, Jim Carrey was unstoppable.

Ace Ventura. The Mask. Liar Liar. The Truman Show. Bruce Almighty.

Every studio wanted him. Every audience loved him.

Then something changed…

I'm 40.

I own 70+ vending machines that make $98K+/month in revenue.

Now I'm exposing my step-by-step system: Step 1: Start with the right machine type

Forget traditional vending machines.

Smart coolers and micromarkets are where the real money is:

• Larger capacity = more revenue potential
• AI inventory tracking
• Contactless payments
• Fresh food options

She was one of the biggest artists in the world.

After dropping a genre-defining album, she vanished.

No tours. No press. No follow-up albums.

Most people still don’t know why…

So here’s the real story of Lauryn Hill: In 1998, Lauryn Hill released The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill.

It was a cultural earthquake.

5 Grammys. 19 million copies sold. A voice that defined a generation.

Then she walked away…

Harvard researchers spent the last 75 years studying:

• Does money make you happy?
• What’s the secret to a longer life?
• Is life better if you’re married or single?

Their findings might change your life…

Here’s the full breakdown: 1. Strong relationships predict a longer, healthier life.

In the Harvard Study of Adult Development (1938–present), the biggest predictor of well-being wasn’t money, career success, or even fitness.

It was the strength of your relationships.

“Good relationships don’t just protect our bodies; they protect our brains.” — Dr. Robert Waldinger
