I'm going to rank the best and worst businesses you could start before 2026. Some of these

will make you rich and others are a massive waste of your fucking time. I've built seven multimillion

dollar companies and I coach hundreds of business owners. So I'm going to use everything I've

Three, you have the asset increasing. Four,

you have high leverage on capital. I mean, it is incredibly profitable once it gets going.

Next is NFTs and crypto projects. Here's the problem. One, easy to make your first dollar.

Used to. Not today. Everybody's dealing with the fact that they essentially sold unregulated securities

and people lost their money i'm not going to give it a high score on that one two easy to learn

not that easy to learn man three how profitable is in the long run not very profitable right now

so not a high score there and And would somebody buy your portfolio of

NFT projects? It's going in the scam category because if you look at a thousand NFT projects,
