Do You Have Unrealistic Expectations for Your Business?

[@Erikkurilla01]

Finance and Business books have been so helpful. I’m 55 and my wife 50 we are both retired with over $3 million in net worth and no debts. Currently living smart and frugal with our money. No longer putting blames on FED for our misfortunes. Saving and investing lifestyle in the stock market made it possible for us this early, even till now we earn weekly.

[@jessicasquire]

You have done great for yourselves. I understand the fact that tomorrow isn't promised to anyone, but investing today is a hard thing to do for me now because I have no idea of how and where to invest in. I would be happy if you could advise me based on how you went about yours, as I am ready to go the passive income path.

[@Lemariecooper]

That is so amazing, I’m trying to get onto the housing ladder at 40. I wish at 55 I will be testifying to similar success

[@Erikkurilla01]

Credits to STEPHANIE KOPP MEEKS, she saw me through the process. You can glance her name up on the internet and verify her yourself. she has years of financial market experience.

[@Lemariecooper]

Heard many good recommendations about Stephanie Kopp Meeks by some YT channels, Seminars and other platforms

[@jessicasquire]

Thanks so much I was able to find her page and I already leave her a message.

I don’t own a business nor do I work for a business (I’m in academia)… I just like listening to Dave’s wisdom.

[@jeevacation]

I do research as well, what do you do?

[@davidtesler1198]

Then you like to learn and that is a good thing.

[@matthewholmes8638]

Academia isnt a buisness? Thats funny.

[@nickbailey7429]

I work in a small business and was recently offered partnership. I thought I new something about business and finance. I’m learning that what I know is only a drop in the bucket. I appreciate stuff like this channel. It’s a valuable resources.

[@ruthadri1]

Someone that young really does not know a thing , Love you Uncle Dave always sharing wisdom , thanks

[@stephengamber7000]

I refuse to be ashamed for being successful. I worked for it!

[@AnimateAlex]

What continues to blow me away is the revenue total VS the employee count of these businesses calling in some of them have so many employees for the amount of revenue they bring in they must be paying people nothing

[@matthewholmes8638]

Literally she could have this convo with her dad instead of a complete stranger from the internet.

[@Greg_Chase]

I would have to say, after years of listening to Dave, the thought of him not manning the microphones is akin to the loss of Rush Limbaugh. A gradual exit is a reasonable plan but the loss of Dave would be keenly felt, in every place he is heard. Despite what is said - "no one is irreplaceable" - actually that's not true all the time, in every case. .

I love you, Papa Dave

[@jaybah836]

Dave we love you so freakin much man

36:42 please an business owner if anything listen to this statement I don’t know how many business owner make the mistake and look for cheaper items and don’t look for a way to make things for easy for them and charge there customer a premium

[@feelingblueinny]

Great advice Dave!!

[@Noseqquiero]

See I wanna work at Ramsey but I lived in TN for 6 years. There are reasons I left and don’t intend to ever return

[@Openhousetexas]

Covid definitely had an impact on the workforce industry. The government did not do businesses any favors by scaring the pants off society, so much so that people started to question their life and began to re-evaluate and re-prioritize what is important. I am not sure that things will go back to the way they were; society's perception of Corporate America has drastically changed. I do think we are in one of those historic moments where innovation and creativity will flourish as people decide to make an attempt at entrepreneurship and/or how, when and where they want to work. Was this all done on purpose to change the mindset of the masses in preparation for something else? Who knows, but in my opinion, it has also led to an increase in social anxiety and has fostered and cultivated more introverts. What happens next is anyone's guess, but it will be interesting to see.

Great episode 👏

[@nvofamalcontent9296]

Prove the "No Debt". Show the check!

[@Shreeree441]

Just started a side biz and hope it can grow to where I can take 3 week vacations like Dave.

[@djg4653]

That only comes once you forgo it by working three to four weeks straight for like 5 years. The more the business grows the more it attempts to suck you in and sometimes you simply have to sacrifice during certain seasons of life. Dave is 65 years old and has hundreds of millions of dollars he could just quit and buy a super yacht/cruise ship and go on his way but he loves his work

[@Shreeree441]

@@djg4653 I think that’s why I value his book, Entreleadership. My goal is to create a system where it can be self sustaining and I can eventually get off the treadmill and watch the biz ride. I completely understand it’s going to be lots and lots of work with lots and lots of sleepless nights (already feeling it because once I’m out of my FT time, I’m putting in time for training and setting up the biz afterwards) I’m praying it’ll be worth it in the end.

[@coatingkings]

​@djg4653 I agree what you say , except the 5 years part. Different business/ expectations will have different amounts of time

[@hallwest9650]

I take 1-1/2-2 days off every week 😅

[@knight8821]

They might be able to fill you shoes Dave but they can't walk your walk.

[@joeray3983]

I run an MSP. 5 people should be over $1m in revenue. She’s right, there is a problem

[@hallwest9650]

Probably alot of cash no one knows about

No, very realistic expectations.

5 workers and 500k in total sales and now that has dropped 40%, how does any of them survive?

[@carolinel2530]

Retire.

[@HomeKitPro]

Businesses that refuse to allow working from home are dinosaurs. I have been working from home since September of ‘21 and I cannot imagine ever going back to a physical location.

[@amireallythatgrumpy6508]

Boo hoo!

[@cherrypieforbreakfast1499]

*shrug*.....ok, you do you.

[@brandoncraig855]

I have one person that I allowed to work from home because he moved out of state and its not working out. It might work for you but that doesn't mean it will work for everyone.

[@livinglifeinacoffeeshop]

@@brandoncraig855 never said it would work for everyone. Some people prefer being onsite. But the time and money saved from commuting has been a game changer for me, and the tech companies I’ve worked for have seen easier scaling without the overhead of physical office space.

[@AnimateAlex]

No actually businesses quickly found out during covid just how little employees are willing to do when they work from home it's a terrible mandate for any business owner it's great for someone who wants to work from home and slack off and play with the dog and babysit the kids all day
