| 0:00.0 | Can you build a $10 million business without compromising your lifestyle? |
| 0:04.0 | Can you build a hundred million dollar business just working a few hours per day? |
| 0:08.5 | My guest today is building a business that he believes can get to nine figures while maintaining |
| 0:14.4 | a really amazing lifestyle. |
| 0:16.5 | Mike Teku was here on the show about a year and a half ago and he said, I think I can |
| 0:20.5 | build a hundred |
| 0:21.3 | million dollar business working just a few hours per day. And as of right now, he's within |
| 0:27.1 | striking distance of having an eight-figure business. So today we're going to break down how he built |
| 0:32.2 | momentum shake to be a multi-million dollar business without doing a bunch of marketing, without |

| 1:02.0 | thinking and I'm going to do all of my big decisions in two hours a day. Now there's obviously more |
| 1:06.7 | work than that a day. But after that, it's probably not very good or quality. So I try not to |
| 1:12.9 | make decisions out of that time frame because they're going to be lower quality. And that's what I |
| 1:16.5 | think my most important skill set is like making really high quality decisions. Because if you do that |
| 1:21.9 | right, you're going to eliminate 80, 90% of the nonsense things that you shouldn't have been doing |
| 1:26.5 | in the first place. You are thinking about $2 million a year when we spoke last. |
| 1:31.2 | Maybe a million, I think. |
