    There definitely are people who love their businesses. Definitely not all of them though by a long-shot. I think it depends on your industry too. Can't imagine people who love water treatment or the refinement of chemicals so much they want to keep doing it after they have an exit or retire. I can imagine people who own businesses that design and make surfboards or mountain bikes or go-carts still wanting to be involved forever though. You wouldn't want to sell that business and let go of it completely

They were juicing oranges automatically. A huge line. I thought nothing of it. The Brazilian pulled me back and asked me to count the drinks they sold in the next minute. About 15 drinks at $4 a drink. He asked what turnover would that be per day? At that moment realized how the mind of a true entrepreneur works.

    I really see Paul as an older version of myself 😂 when I was a kid, instead of spending my money on the ice cream truck when my other friends didn’t have money, I used it to buy materials for a lemonade stand and put my friends to work, I took $5 and turned it into $40 and we all had treats when I ice cream truck came. When I had no money, I got my friends to gather buckets, soap, window cleaner, and old rags for free and you know what we did? Washed cars in our neighborhood. People gladly paid a bunch of neighborhood kids to clean their car instead of causing trouble. I became disillusioned with online hustle culture for a while but the tried and true method is to bring value to the marketplace not over saturate it in hopes of personal gain. Sure there is the what’s in it for me, but what value are you bringing to someone’s day? Is their car clean? How about their thirst? What about their heart strings? Have you pulled them by kids showing true American ingenuity by using their time to improve their community instead of destroy it? (Especially poor black kids like how I grew up)

    I'm extremely privileged to have had the chance to be in Paul Orfalea's class at USC (University of Southern California, not Santa Cruz haha). That once a week class held at the university's best restaurant (we'd get dinner served while he taught us simple life/business lessons) on campus was the definition of what college should be about: practical scenario based exercises, stories of mistakes Paul made running Kinkos, and incredible Q&A sessions with guests/Paul's friends who were all entrepreneurs or high up members of society (a former California Supreme Court Justice taught us many great lessons). I'm incredibly grateful to Paul for everything he taught us.

    I was lucly to figure this out in my mid 20's. i didnt know anybody from school any more, everybody gad carried pn eoth their own lives and i found myself in a job nobody wanted me in. It took alkng time of talking to those guys, learning from them and getting to knpw them for them to take a sine and interest in me. They essential helped me grow into a man. I grew out of that job as it no lonfer served me as it would not financialy sustain my future goals and I got a higher paid one. i no longer know or talk to any of those people. Im now in the best job I have ever had mostly due to the comradery. But im not silly. When i leave this job I will probably never hear from these people again. The only constant is my wife and family. Life is a train. And everyone is getting off and on at different stops until you reach the end of the line. Its sad. But just feel happy for people when they find the stop they are looking for.

    As a woman, I think other women need to hear this. Family is important. Relationships are important. I feel like too many women prioritize careers over family these days and it just leads to misery. Because your company won't be there for you when it's over. But your kids and husband will if you prioritize having good relationships. Same goes for the guys. Don't let "success" ruin your life and the lives of your family. Money can help, but it can also destroy.

    Most of those people are in debt up to their eyeballs. Some are about done blowing their inherited wealth. Believe none of what you hear and only half of what you see. Live within your means, marry someone sensible, don't have kids you can't afford. If you don't have any expensive vices, it's almost impossible to NOT become a millionaire almost without even trying.
