But first, we're going to have a quick two-minute bio so we can get straight to the money with Mr. Brandon Bowski.
So on the make money side, why are people scared or not understanding how to make money online via social media or paid ads?

I like having blunt discussions. I like talking about failures and lawsuits and headaches and employees and situations and partnerships and all the things that come with it because that is real life. You're going to have situations, especially as you scale. You go from 1 million to 5 million to 10 million to 30 million to 100 million, et cetera.

There are different devils and evils and situations and partnerships and the way people change around you before, during, and after every situation. It's a fascinating dynamic, but people don't talk about it because they want to pretend like everything's perfect all the time. If someone's ready to make the leap, right? They're, you know, they're making 60 grand a year in their job.

They're, you know, they're making 60 grand a year in their job.
They want to start making a little bit of money online and hopefully replace their income at some point. I tell people don't quit your day job because even when you successfully do something, you're going to pour the gasoline back on the fire to keep doing it. So even if you make money, you got to put it back in. And even if you scale something, you got to put the money back in.

And so I say, don't keep it, you know, don't quit your day job. What are your thoughts about someone they're making 60 grand a year, but they want to make, you know, an extra 1000, 2000 bucks a month online. What should they be doing? Researching or what?

No, you don't.
No, you don't.
You're not built like that.
You're not built like that.
So let me break down the don't quit your day job concept. So let's say Bowski and I decide we're going to invest into your company and you make green t-shirts.com green t-shirts.com. You've already tested the market. You already know that brown, blue, yellow, you just know green is the one, right? You've already tested it. So we put up 250 K each. We give you $500,000.

So go launch green t-shirts.com. Great. You go out there and crush it and do $1.2 million in sales the first year. Valsky and I are happy. We're proud of you. Good job. You already succeeded far better than we could have expected for your first year. Guess how much you made on $1.2 million in sales on your first year. it rhymes with zero. And you actually might be in debt.

And you actually might be in debt.
You actually might be calling us for more money because when it works on green t-shirts, if it's 1.2 million sales, you probably need to spend 400K to 600K on the actual shirts, the inventory. You probably spent $200,000 on paid ads. You probably had Bowski help you do it. He still had to spend the money for you, even if he's more efficient at it, still spent it.
