Worst investment ever

Brandon believes that his worst investment ever was not learning how to make a million dollars sooner.

Lessons learned

Anyone can make a million dollars; you just have to do what it takes

To make your first million, start by building a list with every person in every company in the world you need to sell to.

Second, get training and expertise. Once you have your list, you have to know how to sell the list. Read hundreds and hundreds of books on sales, marketing, entrepreneurship, and investing.

Lastly, be ready to do the work. If you want to be a millionaire, it will require more work, effort, energy, and more tenacity. So just work hard and do whatever it takes. Do not let any bullshit excuses stand in your way to being a millionaire.

Andrew’s takeaways

This is the time to hustle hard

With the pandemic, it is an easy time to get down and frustrated. But get going. This is your time, don’t let anything hold you back.

Making your first million is not that complicated

Making your first million dollars is not that complicated. First, build a list. Second, get training to know what you’re doing, and third, sell to that list and get to a million.

Make as many sales as possible to cushion you from mistakes

You are going to make a million mistakes throughout your life as an entrepreneur. Having growth allows you to absorb those mistakes without getting wiped out. But if you have tiny profit margins, minor errors will knock you out.

Actionable advice

Build your list every day, and then work on connecting and building relationships with the people on your list. Work on marketing, advertising, and selling to your list. That is where opportunities are created.

No. 1 goal for the next 12 months

Brandon’s number one goal for the next 12 months is to transform the lives of his employees and those of the hundreds of thousands of users and companies that rely on Seamless.AI. The best way for Brandon to do this is to IPO and leverage the capital to continue maximizing the success of his users, customers, investors, and employees.
