Reinventing Ross Mandell: Success, Second Chances, and Redemption

300, okay, they told me 300 calls a day to be a millionaire. I made 400 just to be sure. You know what I'm saying? Because I didn't care. What am I gonna go home? I'm broke. Go home and smoke weed and play video games. I said, I might as well just work because I got nothing. I got no money to do anything. And some people said, so how much did you make? What was your salary?

I said, there's no salary. I'm a commission guy. I never took a salary in my life until I was building companies and we had $100 million in the bank. Then I put myself, my first salary was like $2.5 million a year. I never took money. It's eat what you kill. What does that mean? If I don't do business, I'm in a transaction business on Wall Street.

If I don't do a transaction that day, I don't make any money. The firm doesn't make any money. Who's going to pay for your seat? Who's going to pay for your computers? Who's going to pay for your secretary? Who's going to pay for all the statements that they got issued? So I quickly learned that I better sit there and I better generate transactions. Buy, sell, opening new accounts, doesn't matter.

It's got to be transactions. I learned essentially how to kill. You eat what you kill. I learned how to do business. I learned how to do deals. I learned how to make stuff happen. Now, I got to say, if you're getting a salary, you're not going to get to that point because it took me a minute. I used to wonder how the fuck I was going to eat. I'm not talking about pay rent. How am I going to eat?

I had no money. I mean, you know, you're working, you're working, you're working, you're grinding. And my work ethic today I see in this particular arena that we're in is very helpful to me. You know, one of the guys, in fact, you just spoke to him briefly, Johnny, said to me, you know, one thing about you, we know you're never going to quit. I just show up, man.

That's what I'm doing since I'm a kid. Win, lose, or draw. Broke, or at my height, I had $150 million personally. I had a real net worth, real capital, liquid money. And my company had $200 million, my companies. So I was valued at about $450 million at my height. But you got to remember, that's 20 years ago. Today, that's like $4 billion.

The world is very different today with all the things that have happened with the mismanagement of our economy by government and circumstances, et cetera, COVID, and a lot of different things that have happened and gone on. But, you know, the one thing is clear. I can add a lot of value to the youngsters and to the people. You know, funny thing is I have a mastermind program.
