Business Advice Video: 

I swear I became a multi-millionaire because I think about time like this. A lot of times people will think time just goes like this. I actually think it’s up like this, like a layered cake. So that you’re not having to like keep moving forward to reach your goal. All you have to do is just sidestep and it just drops in. Because at the beginning of 2023, I was like that’s it, I’m making $1 million this year. And then I just did the things that I believe would take me there knowing that just decide step away. And then 2024, I said my company will be a four-million-dollar company this year. and in the last 10 weeks, I’ve made over a million dollars. I think because I don’t believe it takes a lot of work to get there. I think it’s just a sidestep.

Matt’s Review:

Alright, I don’t know what drugs she’s taking but I have not been taking the same drugs. I don’t know how you sidestep to success. And I don’t know how you realign the way time works. Possibly with drugs. Good for her. She’s made a lot of money and/or at least her business has sold a lot. I think a lot of times when you hear these claims what people are telling you is, assuming they’re truthful at all, they’re telling you how much their business has sold, right? So if you sold $1 million. Good. Overall customers have paid $1 million to buy whatever you’re selling products or services. Really the question is how much of that have you kept? And if you’re doing an e-commerce business or you’re selling products the answer might be not that much. We have e-commerce clients doing $1 million a year in sales and they’re keeping less than 100,000 of it. While that could still be a good living for a lot of people, it’s certainly a big difference between keeping $75,000 and having a million dollars. And her saying this year the target is to be a four million dollar company, I think what she means is have $4 million in sales. Which again could still provide a very nice living. But it’s not the same as saying “I now have $4 million in my bank account that I can spend any way I want.” So these claims are not as accurate and as telling as they could be. And separately from that, the whole step sideways to change the way time works. I don’t know. Maybe that makes sense to some of you. But it makes zero sense to me. I don’t know how to do anything with that advice other than to again sort of wonder what drug she’s taking. And whether or not they’d help.
