An overwhelming number of Americans who’ve considered launching their own business shied away from doing so. With a crazy lot of opportunities out there, most of them stopped chasing their business idea due to a large number of reasons – lack of capital, blamed inertia, fear of bankruptcy, or even their age.
Let’s be honest – entrepreneurship isn’t easy. It takes an incredible amount of time, effort and drive. With that said, there’s never a better time to start your business than now. Not next week, not next month – but now. Here’s why you should.
You can take the risk.
If you never try, you’ll never know. There’s going to be a time when you’ll eventually get to “If only..” and that might throw a lot of regrets your way.Ā With every risk you take, you’re constantly learning and you can always, always recover from them over time.
Of course, you have the money!
Let’s face it – there’s never going to be ample or enough capital. Entrepreneurs are always going to need more. The trick is to do more with less – think: less time, less overhead costs, less staff. Despite the crazy cost-cutting ideas you have, if the money still doesn’t meet the mark – change your business plan.
You can create anything – even beam heat to space. TheĀ ability to create anything you want shouldn’t be lost while running it across a string of approvers or bureaucratic hurdles. Got a big idea jotted down? Figure out a way to make it work. Network, research, chalk out a solid business plan, splurge your creative skills, let people know what you’re doing, but make it happen.
With super useful marketing tools, social media and analytics, the farthest you need to get to are a few clicks.
It’s possible (and cost-efficient) if you plan it right.
With some of the best software at hand, nearly everything can be set up quickly and sometimes free. Crawl the internet for credible sources to help you out when youāre stuck. You can seek advice from specialized company formation agents who can help you out with legal and other bureaucratic hassles, so you focus on driving your business.
I was looking around Google for an old article on tax strategies and this five-year old video of myself happened to pop up.
Iām interviewing a tax expert about how real estate investors avoid paying taxesin perpetuityāAND how everyday citizens can do the same thing.
(Real estateāour TEMPLE I and TEMPLE II projects includedāhas a number of tax benefits savvy investors have capitalized on for years, including Opportunity Zone breaks and 10-year tax abatements.)
Thereās the 1031 exchange, of course, which Iāve shared with you guys before.
Just to refresh your memory, the 1031 Exchange allows you to roll over gains from your last project into a new property TAX FREEāas long as said property is worth the same or more.
But thereās ANOTHER TAX LOOPHOLE that can take your portfolio to an entirely new level by splitting your capital gains into MULTIPLE properties.
PS: In our next update, Iām going to break down how real estate moguls get paid from their propertiesā¦tax free. š PPS: If you want to learn how to implement generational wealth strategies like this one, you can join our NYCE wealth academy (TRIBE U) here.
If thereās anything the pandemic taught us, itās that the paradigm of āofficeā and āworkspaceā has been shaken to its CORE.
Universities are teaching via Zoom, court dates are done virtually, FULLY REMOTE businesses are valued at $1B+, and legitimate Inc. 5000 startups are run fromā¦wherever. š²
This is my office for the dayā¦
I am actually running our business from the beach, typing this from here.
Itās 4:28 pm CET, which means itās 10:28 am EST and I am CRUSHING my to-do list.
(And the team will continue to crush it while Iām asleep. Thatās the š)
Having team members in all the main time zones gives us a 24-hour work cycle vs. 9-5/eight-hour on-the-clock performance.
This means we get 3x the productivity of a similar company. š„
Let me repeat thatā¦3x PRODUCTIVITY vs. our competitors.
Meanwhile our project management software grants us 24-hour TEAM-WIDE connectivity that tracks all tasks and lets us know if productivity dips even a little bit.
There is ALWAYS someone senior awake. It could be Martin in Barcelonaā¦Nat in New Yorkā¦Vineet & Arif in New Delhi.
Well, the first step is to have an actual side hustle youāre launching. Not just an idea, a validated business.
MAJOR KEY: Do NOT spend money until youāve made your FIRST DOLLAR! šššš
(You can catch a replay Business Launch masterclass here and see TRIBE member Nessa launched her business on the spot and got her first $45K client shortly after.)
One of the easiest ways to start is with Airbnbāyou can start that in 10 minutes. Literally. (Hereās a guide if you need it.)
Once you have your business, you build a virtual infrastructure (you really just need two softwares, which are FREE), manage the team accordingly and run the business from there.
Iām gonna put together a step-by-step video breakdown this weekend inside the new TRIBE U on the FIVE key things you need to do this for YOURSELF. šµ š
From what software to use, how to build a team, how to keep.
In the meantime, drop a comment if youāre ready to build some wealth and any questions if you want moreā¦
Letās get to work. š
PS: If you canāt be bothered with video and just wanna get to work, weāre hosting a TRIBE U workshopthat will help you get this process started on the spot. Itās $479 $49. š„
Investor and popular Instagram influencer Philip Michael says new fintechs need to take greater responsibility for their younger traders.Ā
āPromoting financial literacy is a must, but encouraging risky gambling is reckless,ā Philip Michael, NYCE CEO, says.Ā
In 2020, a 20-year-old Robinhood trader killed himself after engaging in risky options trading and seeing his balance $730,000 in the red, leading to a wrongful death lawsuit against the investment app.
āThe main apps onboard as many new users as humanly possible, but thereās really no educational process,ā Michael says, āand these first-time investors are left to figure things out on their own.ā
NYCEāa fintech focused on creating wealth for minoritiesāwants to create 100,000 millionaires through real estate investments and wealth education.
Through its app, investors can own shares in apartment complexes for as little as $100.
Since launching, NYCE has set records for most new first-time BIPOC real estate owners, buying over 1500 apartments in the pandemic and splitting ownership with its investor crowd.
Once investors are in, NYCE automatically enrolls investors in an online wealth academy (TRIBE) that teaches basic wealth principles, responsible investing and how to spot irregular fads like altcoins and meme stocks.
āBecoming a millionaire is a function of time and habit, not luck and one-time scores,ā Michael says. āThe micro-investments are really just the gateway drug to that wealth mindset.ā
