| 0:00.0 | I work about six months a year, and this year my business would do over $10 million in revenue. Most people will tell you that these two sentences can't both be true at the same time. But in the last four years, I've spent almost half my time traveling the world, hiking mountain ranges in Madeira, skydiving Dubai, visiting temples in Kyoto, running with the Bulls in Spain, and I even lived in the Greek islands for months at a time. In that same four years, I took my business from zero to eight figures, bought five other companies, and helped develop a $14.2 million hotel in South Florida. That's my scoreboard. Everyone told me that you can't build a real business like this, and they were wrong. So in this video, I'm going to show you exactly how I pulled this off, how I'm able to travel the world while my business makes millions of dollars without me, and how the way that you currently work right now is probably broken and ruining your life. Don't worry, though, because by the end of this video, you'll have a roadmap to make massive changes immediately. But first, I have to tell you why I started this in the first place, because the honest answer is I tried two other ways of working before this one, and they both broke me. |

| 0:58.0 | Section 1, the problem. |
| 0:59.3 | Here's what nobody talks about. |
| 1:00.9 | The average American spends nearly 44% of their waking adult life working and only 31% of them actually feel engaged at work. |
| 1:09.9 | Like they actually enjoy it. This means that most people |
| 1:12.3 | are spending statistically almost half their lives doing something that they don't even like. And the way |
| 1:17.0 | that they cope with it is they invent a series of escape hatches. The weekend, the next vacation, |
| 1:21.6 | the next promotion, retirement at 65. They spend their entire lives trying to run away from |
| 1:26.3 | their current reality instead of potentially building a way of life and work that they don't need an escape from. |
| 1:31.7 | And the cruelest part is by the time most people retire, they're too tired and too unhealthy to enjoy any of it. |
| 1:36.8 | So, okay, corporate America is broken. We all kind of know that. |
| 1:39.7 | But here's what I didn't expect. |
| 1:42.2 | Entrepreneurship, the thing that's supposed to be the escape, owning your own business, turned out to be an even more expensive version of the same prison. Founders sacrifice their 30s, their marriages, and their health, and they tell themselves the same line that corporate America told them, just one more year, just one more milestone. I'll relax once I hit a million. I'll relax once I hit 10. Then it |
| 2:01.3 | becomes 50, then it becomes 100 because we glorify exhaustion like it's proof of importance. |
| 2:06.6 | And the thing that nobody warns you about is this. The finish line keeps moving. You hit the goal, |
| 2:11.6 | you don't stop. You set a bigger one. You hit that. You said a bigger one. Until one day you wake up |
| 2:16.3 | and you realize that you've been |
| 2:17.8 | building this business so that you could spend time with your family, but you actually sacrificed |
| 2:22.2 | spending all the time with your family with your kids growing up while you were building the business. |
| 2:27.0 | Make it make sense. You actually have to remember to live during this. And that's the trap I fell |
| 2:32.1 | into. Twice. And today, I hope you're able to use my failure |
