Company pays you $100k a year. They have a ton of additional expenses too - FICA, benefits, matches, etc. Even more reason your value to the company has to be a lot more than your actual salary.

Also, to keep with our brand - good time to mention warren buffet calling for an increase in the income tax and getting the masses to adore him for it, not realizing that warren makes no income and its all wealth and investments. Of course he wanted a higher income tax to limit competition.

Long time follower, but have never been clear on advice for selling to masses [1) diet, 2) skin, 3) gambling and 4) biz opps] - is it important that the product actually works? Believe you have mentioned that you should be selling a good product (and makes intuitive sense), but seems most diet/skin/gambling/biz pop products are scams/trash. Appreciate clarification, thanks!

No. As explained with the Liver King example. If you go mass market you are selling magic pills that don't work.

Liver king is even mentioned in here? Of course eating testicles won't make you ripped

I know it prob sounds a bit ridiculous or my circle is just way to small, but I can't think of anyone that

"If you want to replicate people find people that had it harder than you. And. Somehow did better than you are currently doing."

The only people who fit this people are just not in my reach or their lives have movies on them etc.

This one was full of good bits - the income tax increase entrenching the 1% made me do a violent double take. Thanks you for giving us all more to chew on!
