Throwback: How I Made My First Million (In Profit) | Ep 380

Welcome back to the game. Today I talk about how I made my first million and the big difference was uh focus, honestly. There was a clear transition point in my life where I went from doing business and I've been doing this for years and becoming a I mean crazy to say those, but uh a millionaire. Seems so cringe to say it. I think even saying cringe is cringe now. I think it's it's like old people stuff now. Anyways, how I made my first million and there were significant changes in my behavior and this podcast zooms in on that exact moment and the shift in behavior and then the resulting outcome. And I think you'll probably be able to take one, two, maybe more things from this episode that could potentially help you out. I want to talk to you about how I made my first million dollars in profit.

Mind you, the reason I'm so big on profit rather than revenue is that at that point Um I had already made you know, I was already making a couple of million dollars a year between all the different things that I was doing, but I was taking home basically nothing. Um, because I was so spread thin, I wasn't paying attention to uh profit. I was just looking at revenue, trying to beef myself up and feel status, rather than thinking about what I was actually taking home. And um I told you in in a in a different video how I I I got in a head on collision in a DUI at sixty miles an hour on the highway and walked away from it. And that was kind of the the catalyst that ended up changing my life in a lot of ways. Mostly because I decided to confront decisions that I'd been putting off.

um and make hard calls that I didn't want to make, uh to force myself to focus on one thing. And so uh what I want to do in this video is talk to you about uh the result of that decision and um what kinda happened and transpired in the next uh six to twelve months, which is anything uh anything but a Cenderella story. I made the calls, I uh I went all in on gym launch, I s I basically fire sold my other businesses. And um just as a as a quick tangent on that Like a lot of times I think the great thing that we have um is sitting right in front of us after we let go.
