This is one of the best videos I have ever seen. Great story! Perhaps the only thing missing would have been some tough times that she probably experienced when creating this company. I know she got a lot of no's. It would have been interesting to hear how many no's she got, how she felt, whether she was ever discouraged, and why she continued even though there were so many no's along the way.

@valshiro515

5 ай бұрын

She's only 26 and made millions. She didn't get many no's but will make it sound like she did just to seem more hardworking. She likely approached a bunch of horny male investors who saw her good looks and allowed them to give her money based on their desire to date her. Doesn't mean she dated them but they surely wanted to use her. There is no way that a candy product that is truly so basic could sell so much unless it was backed by infantile horny dudes who chase pleasure above all. As a good-looking female entrepreneur, I can attest that 95% of investor leads are garbage and are more interested in using the female in business for clout than actual belief in the product. Her product is far from being the only less toxic one on the market. There is way more to her story than she's saying. She was used as a pawn.

@@annas.8902 When you have an insurance policy open you can take out a loan against the cash value of the policy. This is basically the component of insurance that you have the ability to access currently if need be for various expenses. There are two ways of accessing the cash value, which are 1. surrendering the contract (getting cash and terminating the policy) and 2. loans. The problem with 1 is that on most basic policies you'll get less money than you put into the actual premiums. And also, your policy is terminated so your death benefit (what passes onto your heirs in case of death and usually the largest value of the three components of life insurance) is gone. By taking out a loan, you can keep the policy in force, all the while getting more than you would by surrendering the contract in most circumstances. Only caveat is interest. Hope that helps! 👍
