If you’re going to launch your own thing, you need two things: pure confidence and actual, honest-to-god time.
I have this friend who built a company from scratch right here in the States, and he did it during one of the absolute worst economic downturns imaginable. Now? He’s got about twenty people on his payroll and the business is actually doing pretty decent.
He made a name for himself.
Look, the guy isn't shady or anything, but what else is a man supposed to do? Pull two straight days without sleep?
Personally, I love working, I really do. But if "work" means staying awake for forty-eight hours straight just to keep some project moving, then that better be a JOB I actually LOVE.
You need talent, sure, but more importantly, you need a genuine passion for whatever niche you're diving into.
There's that old cliché—if you do what you love, you'll never work a single day in your life.
And honestly, it's true, because you start seeing it as a hobby or a passion rather than just grueling labor.
If someone came up to me today and said, "Hey, go sell eggs door-to-door for a month and you'll have a million dollars," I’d probably go for it.
But if someone tells me, "You have to sell eggs door-to-door for the rest of your entire career to guarantee you'll be rich," there is no way in hell I'm signing up for that.
Fuck eggs. I'm not trading my life for them.

So, go ahead. Push my buttons...😁

Way to be honest, Ronald Castillo5!
There’s actually one killer question over on Diaspora Who is that I’ve been dying to get an answer to myself:

So, about 12 years ago, I went ahead and registered a business here in the States.
The thing is, the company never actually did a single thing. It just sat there.
Is it even possible to revive this shell of a company, and if I do, am I going to get hit with the same old fees?

Interesting topic.
Of course, I’d love to be loaded.
But dreaming about hitting some massive Powerball jackpot while everyone around me bets their last few bucks? That sounds fake and, honestly, pretty boring to me. I don't believe in miracles.
What I *do* believe is that most smart—and hardworking—people on this planet can get rich if they actually set a rock-solid goal for themselves.
Using the football analogy from above, here’s how I’d break down the percentages:

1. 25% raw talent
2. 20% technical knowledge of the game
3. 54.9% daily grind, grit, and having a solid coach in your corner
4. 0.00001% luck

Basically, it all happens in your head. The trait people actually value here is self-discipline. If you happen to be cool on top of that, the sky's the limit.
When I mentioned "hardworking people" earlier, I was definitely talking about those who just refuse to quit.
Another huge part of this whole equation is knowing when to say no.
For example, right now I have about ten different ideas on how I could make a fortune.
Once I lay them all out in front of me, the first question I ask myself is: what am I going to have to give up? What’s the sacrifice?
And when I tally up those sacrifices, I realize there are things I simply couldn't do to myself.
I’d turn into some miserable monster. I wouldn't have a life left.
I wouldn't do that to myself for all the money in the world.

On the flip side, there are things we absolutely love doing.
To me, the people who manage to dedicate their entire lives to what they truly love are pretty special.

If they also manage to pull in millions without losing their soul in the process, then I’d call them absolute legends.
