what's going on guys it's your boy Beryl
Solomon Big B how's everyone doing
feeling pretty confident these days
business she's doing really good and I
feel that I'm getting to a point where I
do believe that I could start to share
some some advice not just document my
journey because I do believe that thank
God I am getting somewhere I want to
share with you guys the the biggest two
biggest business mistakes that I have
made in starting my own company the
first biggest mistake that I made was
starting two companies at the same time
my first company was up and running
wealthy commercials and then I started
another company called wealthy frame
selling sunglasses and the second
company totally drained my cash flow I
mean it was a great business I had a
great partner but it just really took a
toll on my cash flow and on my attention
and I wasn't able to focus on my main
business and get that up and running
that's my first biggest mistake my
second biggest mistake was going
building my company infrastructure too
big and hoping that the sales were gonna
catch up to the infrastructure what do I
mean by that is I had at one point 20
people working for wealthy commercials
and every single Friday or every second
Friday when payroll time came I was in
an absolute panic to make payroll
because my infrastructure was too big
and I dragged this on for three four
five maybe even six months saying to
myself yeah my infrastructure I can
handle so much sales I could handle so
much sales but in the meantime my cash
flow is being you know depleted every
single week it was torture
and out of pride I kept I kept a big big
team I let people go because I wanted to
bring down my costs and now I have a
smaller team I have about 13 people that
work at the company and guess what we're
doing is much work as we were before
we're turning out as much work as we're
before and everybody's busy now it's not
like you know it nobody has a spare
second everybody at the end of the day
at 5:30 they look at their clock and say
wow I can't believe where the time has
gone and every second Friday instead of
scrambling to make payroll
now I'm scrambling to go to the bank to
put our profits in the bank because
there are profits left over and that's
that was my biggest mistake building the
infrastructure and hoping that the sales
were gonna catch up to the
infrastructure and now I've completely
flipped that around and I have a small
infrastructure and only one we're
busting at the seams and we're going to
bring on new people so meaning I want
the say I want the infrastructure to
catch up to the sales and not the sales
to catch up to the infrastructure if
that makes sense for everybody
anyways I hope this brought you value
ladies and gentlemen and your businesses
and your careers keep on hustling
and just don't give up just pound pound
pound because there's a lot of days that
I have that things aren't happening for
me
all right don't think that everything is
always great a lot of days a lot of days
but I got to tell you just keep on
pounding every single day magic will
start to happen to your life - ladies
and gentlemen god bless
