How I Turned $300 Into $5.1 Billion

[@dreamwav_core]

i made a notes from this interview for anyone that might need it: -no matter what the rejection, keep you eye on the target. -make a product that people willing to re-buy, not just buy. -make a product that had improvement from the existing product. -fewer moving parts is better. -rich = happy + healthy. -success = how well you do what you do when people don't looking. -passion to work or like to work. -you can't change the yesterday newspaper. -"today is the first day of the rest of your life" -make friends with kindness

I was homeless in LA too but real homeless. Not starting a business homeless. Simply circumstances, not really the result of anything bad. I got out by simply not accepting it anymore. Now 20 years later im a firefighter, dad, homeowner, ect and I still remember almost no one helping me. The cold looks, the disgusted faces, and the sheer coldness of the general population. I never once begged for food or money. I did steal food but it was necessity to survive. The sheer amount of homeless teenagers in LA is staggering and I still can’t believe I was one of them. Moral: be nice to those less fortunate.

[@5995Jiol]

I know exactly what you’re talking about

[@AffectionateSeaOtter]

Very happy for you. You are right. It's one thing to be out in the cold by yourself due to circumstances beyond your control and a different experience to be out in the cold because of your own decision. Paul Mitchell's story is inspiring but he did have a support system (mom, wife, friend/business partner etc) that he could tap into ANY TIME if he WANTED TO. That is NOT the case for a lot of us. I know for a fact it's not the case for me and my children. There are actually people who end up falling in a Snake Pit with vipers trying to bite them at every opportunity they get. If there are people who don't believe that then I'm sorry to tell them that they are just living in their own la la land where they are cut off from other peoples' reality. Anyway, just want you to know I'm very happy for you and very proud of you too for being that human who was able to climb out those circumstances esp. without having access to the support that others do but don't realize they do.

Maybe we need to contact each other about every month and make sure the other is pushing forward and not in neutral having a pity party. I have always owed my trucking business and also was a Heavyweight Champion boxer. Now living the good life with my wife and kids but trying to figure out something I like doing that makes money.

I think his best message is to forgive and forget the past. How far could we all be if we didn't give up or shy away from things because of what we remember about yesterday. He seems like a genuinely kind person and very likable. He is very much right that money won't make you happy. I believe it unlocks the door to a better quality of life but you still have to push that door open and be responsible for what you take with you to the other side. Will it be stress, anxiety, anger etc or will it be a smile and appreciation for what you have and what is to come....
