Put it this way, the thing that I would recommend everyone to do, no matter what journey you want to take as an entrepreneur, no matter what niche you want to get into, no matter literally anything it is, the number one skill set that you're going to need is sales.

So if you're going to start somewhere, that would be the first thing I would do. And then from there, you can start building skills. People get so caught up with their business, too, especially if you start a new business. There's like my marketing needs to be perfect. I need my back end support.

Yep. So the $3,500 for me was, again, just the proof of concept. Now it's like, cool, I can actually do this. and I just go balls to the wall.

So I did that, and then my $3,500 check rapidly turned into an $8,000 check. And then my $8,000 check turned into an $8,000 biweekly check, so now I'm making $16,000 a month. And it snowballed to the point where I was consistently making anywhere between $45,000 to $65,000 a month in just commissions. That wasn't me being a business owner. That wasn't me being a manager.
