Okay, well, first of all, if you're working a nine to five, that's only eight hours and that's what everyone does. So you're definitely not gonna be able to do something that create, like create a company. You actually need to take the next eight hours and start the company. Like I always say, don't quit your day job. Like do not quit your day job. Use your day job to then fund your side hustle.
And when your side hustle has enough opportunity and enough revenue, then make the jump. So I don't know, maybe it's 80%, but definitely don't quit your day job. And definitely spend eight hours working, eight hours sleeping. There's eight hours of opportunity. What are you doing with those eight hours is what I ask people. It's like you're surfing the internet. Please stop surfing the internet.
Let's create, let's innovate, let's ideate.
Yeah, you're losing.
You just lost all our money.
It's invested.
I mean, I love to see a hundred times exit, Dan. So for me, I mean, I'm an entrepreneur at heart. So, and I know that if you can get in early and if you are in your betting where I bet, which is seed early stage, right? Like the beginning, you're going to have a very big outcome if you can be a success. I just love the entrepreneur. I love someone that's like, I'm just going to go all in.
And like, regardless of what people tell you, because when I started my first company, I had $10,000 and people told me I was crazy. The internet is a fad. You know, there's like, get a J job, Kim, this is terrible. Like, seriously, this is not what you should be doing. Now, hindsight, you know, obviously the internet is not a fad. And...
I made a lot of money and that $10,000 investment, I mean, millions and millions came back. So I think making those bets on people is a great, now granted I'm diversified, so I'm investing in crypto, I'm investing in startups, I'm investing in real estate, I'm across the board investor, but I love the entrepreneur.
I am, I love it, I love it.
I mean, you are like, oh my gosh, what else can we start? It's hard.
Oh my gosh. First of all, I love a vision board, right? As you know, and I've been doing it. My mom actually started doing it with me when we were kids and just having that opportunity to sit back and take... magazines. So what we did is, you know, you take magazines, you put them out. Yep. You cut, you cut, you cut out things that call to you. So it's less focused from the mind.
It's more from the heart. And I think that's really what makes a difference and taking out different clippings, putting them on a poster board and then putting it in somewhere we can see it every single day. And so we've been doing this for 20 years to your point, honestly, I probably have success rate of my vision boards coming to life of 92%. I'm not joking.
So every year, I mean, if it didn't work, obviously I wouldn't keep doing it, right? Like every year, if you haven't done one, you should actually go do one because it's a game changer and it's a manifestation of what you want to create and like what your soul wants to create. And that's what brings energy and life and purpose, right? And meaning to people.
I mean, number one, I look at, so I actually wrote another book looking at what do I invest in and looking back at the successes that I've had and the outcomes, big outcomes that I've had. And what are the traits of great entrepreneurs? And number one is having a crystal clear vision of what you want to achieve. You have to, it goes back to vision board.
If you don't know where you're going, how do you expect to get there? So having that vision. Most founders, they have that, right? And I think even with the tea, Jay and Roddy, they had a vision of how to bring something healthy and a drink that could create something for me and you. It's called Juni, Just You and I. So having that vision of what you want to create to create a mindful moment.
So whatever it is, that entrepreneur has to have that vision. Number two, they have to have the passion, which is like the fuel to keep going when everyone else is going to give up. And trust me, how many times have you wanted to give up? Yeah. It's easy to quit. The hard thing is to keep going. I mean, you have to be able to take action.
So really understanding, are you willing to take that first step? Are you willing to risk failure? If you're not willing to risk failure, you'll never be a millionaire.
I mean, without a doubt. And I think having great relationships. I mean, me and you both value that. So it's having those relationships and the people that you've had relationships for a very long time, people that you can call when it's not good, but when it's good too, right? It's always nice to know. And then really just understanding, again, what's going to really drive that person.
Like, the biggest thing from an entrepreneur is, are you resilient? Sure. Because it is hard, right? I know. And I talk about it all the time as an entrepreneur. You know, I've been sued. I've been served. I've been bankrupt. I've been broke. Honestly, I've lost everything. And... I still believe, regardless of circumstance, that I will still be successful.
