Full transparency - I don& #39;t have $1M+ in liquid cash, this is the net worth I could get if I sold everything I own in the next 6 months
Anyways, here are my lessonshttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👇" title="Rug van hand met omlaag wijzende wijsvinger" aria-label="Emoji: Rug van hand met omlaag wijzende wijsvinger">
Anyways, here are my lessons
1. Find Great People & Work Together
I met my business partner @AnsonJacobR around 2 years ago
He replied to my Instagram story when I was looking for sales reps for another project I had

We started to work together and immediately I could see he has the drive one else does
So a couple of months later I offer him to partner up and start a marketing agency

Fast forward to today, we have a team of 60+ people, managing 87+ clients and
I truly have to say that if we hadn& #39;t met each other, we would have still became millionaires, but it would have taken us so much longer

We both have different skill sets, we both have different ways to think, BUT we both have the same goal and we& #39;re smart enough to use our differences as a strength not a weakness
I focus on sales and I generate ideas
He focuses on operations, sustainability
Alone we& #39;re strong, together we& #39;re unstoppable

2. Focus On Just 1 Business
There& #39;s not much to it... Just pick 1 thing you want to do, stick to it for 3-5 years and make it work
It& #39;s simple but not easy
You may hear others talk about their businesses, they share the successes and the wins but never the hardships

It& #39;s simple but not easy
You may hear others talk about their businesses, they share the successes and the wins but never the hardships
You only want to switch because all you have to deal with are issues in your industry and all you hear are successes from others
You don& #39;t see the issues and the problems they deal with... We all have problems, they just aren& #39;t being shared

No matter how big your business is, there will always be bigger fish
They& #39;re bigger because they know something you don& #39;t:
- Team Structure
- Marketing Tactics
- Tax Strategies
Etc.
Don& #39;t look at your neighbor& #39;s garden, make yours bigger

3. Realize Bad Things Are Good
Every challenge, every hardship, every failure that happens is a good thing
Use your failures to learn about what went wrong

If you& #39;re new to the journey this is very hard as most things you try won& #39;t work
However stay analytical because if you& #39;re not where you want to be at, you& #39;re not good enough (yet)

4. Break Things To Move Forward
What took you from 0 to $10k, won& #39;t take you to $30k
What took you to $30k, won& #39;t take you to $100k
That took you from $100k to $1M, won& #39;t take you to $10,000,000

That took you from $100k to $1M, won& #39;t take you to $10,000,000
To get to the next level you need to do things differently and even think differently
If you& #39;re stuck, you may need to rip everything apart and rebuild for a larger scale

5. Use Mental Models
This sounds silly, but school never really taught me to think
Mental models are your friends here
These are different frameworks you can use to deconstruct problems and how look at the problems

I& #39;ve made bad decisions because I haven& #39;t thought about them long enough and I& #39;ve avoided bad decisions because of the mental frameworks I& #39;ve used
Had I learned about them earlier, I would have made fewer mistakes and I would have saved so much more time

6. If You& #39;re Not Where You Want To Be... You Suck
If you want to make a Million, but haven& #39;t - you simply suck...
If you get offended by this, then you suck even more...
It& #39;s true, you just don& #39;t have the right skills and the network to get there

That& #39;s why your goal is to learn, become smarter, and not suck
I admit... I suck too, but I understand that, know why I suck and what I need to improve
Slowly I& #39;ll get better and reach my next goals
