If you're spending all the money, and or more than you're making, which is so weird to me that so many companies do and try to operate like that, it's not going to work. And at the same time, it gives you such a huge advantage. I mean, we've been in business for two and a half years, disrupting a $200 million industry by offering the highest quality products at the lowest prices anywhere.
I mean, here's an example. You know, this company, I don't know if you've heard of Super Beats, good company, good product, 40 bucks for one product, not even organic. This is our... Super Reds, higher quality. It's got the beetroot powder. Ours is organic. Theirs is not. Plus, it's got 12 other ingredients for about half the price.

I mean, once people see that, they're not going to go back to spending $40 for a lower quality product. That's how we're disrupting the industry. But the point is... that once people, if you're managing your overhead, like nobody wants to compete with us because they can't operate. They don't think they can operate with smaller margins.

If they're only making three, four or five bucks on a product, they're like, how are we going to pay our bills? And so if you can figure out how to cut that overhead, get lean, you're going to have a huge advantage.

Dude, if you learn that lesson, you're going to be so much more successful, so much more profitable. And on top of that, I see a lot of entrepreneurs, and I'm going to call them wannabe entrepreneurs, who have themselves on payroll. They want to take investor money or whatever and eliminate the risk of starting a company by putting themselves on payroll.

And I think that is a terrible way to want to be an entrepreneur. I mean, the whole... The point of being an entrepreneur is risk. I mean, without the risk, there's not the reward. So I don't think any CEO or corporate owner of a company should ever be on payroll. You want to make money, make that business successful.

You have money left over at the end of the month after all your employees are paid, after all your bills are paid. That's how you get paid. And that also helps you get lean. Because if you're spending all this money on other people and unnecessary expenses, there's nothing left for you. So you eliminate them. More goes in your pocket.

I'm glad you said that. Cause yeah, it sounds good. Cause there are a lot of companies and brands out there that make stuff sound good. But when you try to get behind the curtain and ask them the tough questions and ask them for documentation or proof or just validation of what they're claiming, they get silent or they come up with excuses.
