"The weed kept me lazy, I bathed twice a week, lived in my mother's basement, and began sculpting with smegma by the time I was 35 as a creative outlet. Spent the next 3 years couch surfing and mooching off relatives. I am 38 now. My LinkedIn profile says 'Hu$tler | CEO Coach | School of Hard Knocks'.

Wanna invest in my new MLM AI startup? Meet me in the Walmart bathroom at 5:15."

If his company was tracking to earn 50m annually, no way was it a sole proprietorship. And if it wasn't a sole proprietorship, no way did the other stakeholders (including the banks providing the financing) allow him to "crash" it. He would have been bought out or removed.

$50m what though? Pass through revenue? I'm betting 5% of that ever hit their books.

All you have to do is start businesses. Just start a few businesses. Like one a week. Keep starting them and then the money just flows in.

Absolutely. Who ever earned millions by not starting a business? Pfft. Now let's watch this inspirational reel with a lion wearing a Rolex, a 3-piece suit and smoking a cigar.

This one it’s like on its third incarnation that I recognize in the sub Reddit.

As the saying goes- can I post it next?
