Boating web entrepreneur, Nick Borrelli shares his path to success!
Connect with Nick Borrelli!
Growing up in a poor family, he found quickly that he wanted more in life. Nick took an big interest in popular successful people, including Donald Trump.
It wasn’t until Nick experienced an accident down in Florida that pushed back to South Jersey. That’s when he went to help his dad with his boat repair shop. Recognizing a gold mine of spare parts in the parts room is where he got started becoming a web entrepreneur.
It would take Nick a year of learning and finding failures to push through the failure and become a successful web entrepreneur. Being self taught, Nick admits that it took him longer than it would take someone who was professionally trained.
Nick proves that the path to success and understanding of an industry isn’t just found in schooling but in trial and error, and of course youtube videos.
I know Nick personally, and even get to play roller hockey with him on one of my tems. I’m really glad that he decided to come on the show to share what makes him a successful web entrepreneur in his own right.

[00:00:53],699 –> [00:00:56],760
no problem let’s get started by giving
some background about yourself
10
[00:00:56],760 –> [00:01:02],430
well i guess i got started in business
I’ve my first real job was a motorcycle
11
[00:01:02],430 –> [00:01:06],240
sales person for harley-davidson i was
living in florida the time moved out
12
[00:01:06],240 –> [00:01:11],9
there by myself when I was 20 it for
probably a little over a year and ended
13
[00:01:11],9 –> [00:01:16],530
up getting in a motorcycle accident and
had to get flown home and back to my
14
[00:01:16],530 –> [00:01:17],250
parents
15
[00:01:17],250 –> [00:01:21],750
that’s kind of how I ended up here and
how i ended up to get into the Marine
16
[00:01:21],750 –> [00:01:26],789
business there I just growing over the
past six or seven years however long
17
[00:01:26],789 –> [00:01:28],590
it’s been into what it is now
18
[00:01:28],590 –> [00:01:32],580
yeah I mean you do pretty well for
yourself from what i can tell it’s still
19
[00:01:32],580 –> [00:01:37],259
a young business and I more ideas that i
have time so it’s kind of hard to pick
20
[00:01:37],259 –> [00:01:43],649
the ones that I want to work on and you
know i am basically in business with my
21
[00:01:43],649 –> [00:01:47],789
dad right now with all the new weight
marine stuff all the boat stuff that
22
[00:01:47],789 –> [00:01:52],619
mount royal Enterprises is my own
project for web design and marketing and
23
[00:01:52],619 –> [00:01:57],869
a new wave has about five projects
within it so it’s kind of six little
24
[00:01:57],869 –> [00:02:00],780
things going on i’m trying to balance
out and pick the ones I like the most
25
[00:02:00],780 –> [00:02:05],910
feel are the most profitable basically
yeah it can be tough to balance out
26
[00:02:05],910 –> [00:02:08],848
different things we have so many ideas
bouncing around and so many
27
[00:02:08],848 –> [00:02:13],49
opportunities come your way but not
everyone is necessarily the right path
28
[00:02:13],50 –> [00:02:17],250
for you to take its hard how do you go
about figuring that out
29
[00:02:17],760 –> [00:02:22],79
it’s really a lot of trial and error I
spend a lot of time new wave is that my
30
[00:02:22],80 –> [00:02:27],840
part of the business at least it’s all
web based with online sales and I tried
31
[00:02:27],840 –> [00:02:33],180
probably almost eight websites through
new lane which most of them fail someone
32
[00:02:33],180 –> [00:02:37],920
take off when one fails I just move on
the next one basically and right now we
33
[00:02:37],920 –> [00:02:42],238
have three of them wide and an ebay
store and one another new ones getting
34
[00:02:42],239 –> [00:02:43],140
ready to launch
35
[00:02:43],140 –> [00:02:47],10
it’s just a matter of trial and I really
just like any business know when you say
36
[00:02:47],10 –> [00:02:49],470
websites do you mean different designs
or
37
[00:02:49],470 –> [00:02:54],510
different names that it would go that
you sell under its really that I choose
38
[00:02:54],510 –> [00:02:58],769
a small niche within the boating
community of products we started off on
39
[00:02:58],770 –> [00:03:03],300
ebay with about 1,500 different items
that were just random boating items
40
[00:03:03],300 –> [00:03:07],650
voting parts that we picked in over six
years kind of fine tune the listings
41
[00:03:07],650 –> [00:03:10],740
fine-tune everything about them and it
just grew and grew
42
[00:03:10],740 –> [00:03:15],600
then I decided that I didn’t want to be
be a 12-percent my sales anymore so it’s
43
[00:03:15],600 –> [00:03:20],700
gonna start getting into websites and I
built my first website was for exhaust
44
[00:03:20],700 –> [00:03:26],459
parts for boats a lot smaller compared
to ebay was about 99 parts instead of
45
[00:03:26],459 –> [00:03:32],730
1500 and that started really slow i had
to teach myself basic web design have to
46
[00:03:32],730 –> [00:03:37],920
keep myself global marketing SEO and all
that stuff took me about a year even
47
[00:03:37],920 –> [00:03:42],750
make it probably what I would call
profitable and then two years in I had a
48
[00:03:42],750 –> [00:03:47],40
pretty decent lookin side up and it was
doing you know probably twenty thousand
49
[00:03:47],40 –> [00:03:48],359
a month in sales
50
[00:03:48],360 –> [00:03:53],489
it was still no not nowhere near where
it should have been but I you know
51
[00:03:53],489 –> [00:03:59],160
basically taught myself by watching
youtube videos on how to do it and today
52
[00:03:59],160 –> [00:04:04],49
that website that was my first one today
that site’s doing about 70 thousand a
53
[00:04:04],50 –> [00:04:10],200
month in sales only 19 items which is my
most successful site still if you
54
[00:04:10],200 –> [00:04:15],359
compare the amount of sales to the
amount of items i did my second shot of
55
[00:04:15],360 –> [00:04:19],950
sight was for lighting for boats like
underwater lighting copy lighting and
56
[00:04:19],950 –> [00:04:24],479
that failed miserably took about three
months of time and really hard work had
57
[00:04:24],479 –> [00:04:29],340
a guy hired help me build products that
we had 300 products on the site and just
58
[00:04:29],340 –> [00:04:34],140
didn’t the Prophet just wasn’t there are
competitors were killing us on them so
59
[00:04:34],140 –> [00:04:38],550
we scrap that move on the next thing and
the next thing the next thing and just
60
[00:04:38],550 –> [00:04:39],900
kind of goes on like that
61
[00:04:39],900 –> [00:04:44],969
yeah I mean it’s great when you can take
failure and learn something from it i
62
[00:04:44],970 –> [00:04:48],419
mean really every failure you should be
able to learn something from so you
63
[00:04:48],419 –> [00:04:53],430
could take to the next project and and
make it better that you know off of that
64
[00:04:53],430 –> [00:04:54],240
failure
65
[00:04:54],240 –> [00:04:56],729
exactly and that’s why you know I
wouldn’t even call it a failure i
66
[00:04:56],729 –> [00:05:00],960
concerned we’re learning experience like
just the three months I’ve spent
67
[00:05:00],960 –> [00:05:03],90
building that LED lighting so I tried
68
[00:05:03],90 –> [00:05:05],880
things that I didn’t drive my other
sites and some of the more work i would
69
[00:05:05],880 –> [00:05:10],469
adapt it to the exhaust site and it made
that straight better you know it’s if i
70
[00:05:10],470 –> [00:05:14],370
needed to you know write a short line of
some kind of new code that didn’t have
71
[00:05:14],370 –> [00:05:18],419
the right i went on youtube probably
learned how to do it and that’s you know
72
[00:05:18],419 –> [00:05:23],10
three months a real web designer private
site in two weeks it took me three
73
[00:05:23],10 –> [00:05:26],370
months to do but in that three months i
learned basically everything with the
74
[00:05:26],370 –> [00:05:30],180
college for so yeah it’s amazing what we
can learn with YouTube nowadays I mean
75
[00:05:30],180 –> [00:05:33],570
pretty much anything you want to learn
it’s right at your fingertips just
76
[00:05:33],570 –> [00:05:37],349
search just got know what to look for
her and that sometimes that’s the
77
[00:05:37],350 –> [00:05:41],220
hardest part to know what it’s called
and and sometimes even I I know myself
78
[00:05:41],220 –> [00:05:45],810
could take that you know a day or two or
even up to a week where I’ll be sitting
79
[00:05:45],810 –> [00:05:48],600
there thinking about something else also
popped my head like oh that’s what I
80
[00:05:48],600 –> [00:05:52],350
need to search for that’s what I
couldn’t think of I think that mindset
81
[00:05:52],350 –> [00:05:57],600
is the key to doing what i do to online
marketing for e-commerce sales based
82
[00:05:57],600 –> [00:06:03],240
websites is the typical website goes and
puts all the parts on the website called
83
[00:06:03],240 –> [00:06:07],470
the day helps people by the market on
when i list my parts when I make my
84
[00:06:07],470 –> [00:06:12],270
websites i sit back with every listing
and say when somebody is looking for
85
[00:06:12],270 –> [00:06:13],80
this
86
[00:06:13],80 –> [00:06:17],39
what are they gonna think it’s called
not what is it called it might be called
87
[00:06:17],39 –> [00:06:20],550
an exhaust manifold to me with a
specific part number from the
88
[00:06:20],550 –> [00:06:23],729
manufacturer but i’ll take the mantle
and say well somebody might call the
89
[00:06:23],729 –> [00:06:29],280
header somebody might call it and intake
manifold by accident you never know and
90
[00:06:29],280 –> [00:06:32],70
you take those things into consideration
when you’re building the site and you
91
[00:06:32],70 –> [00:06:36],450
doing the SEO and you can guide traffic
for almost free compared to what
92
[00:06:36],450 –> [00:06:39],960
competitors are paying for because
you’re using keywords and nobody else
93
[00:06:39],960 –> [00:06:45],270
uses one example was a marine Trump’s i
sell it for about four hundred dollars
94
[00:06:45],270 –> [00:06:46],289
apiece
95
[00:06:46],289 –> [00:06:51],750
I pretty much doubled my sales on those
by using a number that was stamped on
96
[00:06:51],750 –> [00:06:52],229
them
97
[00:06:52],229 –> [00:06:55],409
it’s not a part number so random number
for some reason that stamped on all the
98
[00:06:55],410 –> [00:06:59],430
one of my customers team and saying he
was looking for this part and I said
99
[00:06:59],430 –> [00:07:02],970
I’ve never heard that part number for
show me the pump it said on it and that
100
[00:07:02],970 –> [00:07:05],849
they want to put them on my listings and
double micelles you know it’s always
101
[00:07:05],849 –> [00:07:09],960
find me when I see things that have
numbers on things and it has nothing to
102
[00:07:09],960 –> [00:07:13],799
do with anything that you can search it
by and
103
[00:07:13],800 –> [00:07:17],849
that I mean that right there is a great
idea the opposite of that would be put
104
[00:07:17],849 –> [00:07:22],740
the part number of what it is on the
part itself you know instead of just
105
[00:07:22],740 –> [00:07:26],699
random not right well it’s not random to
somebody but random to us
106
[00:07:26],699 –> [00:07:31],259
yeah so what does it mean to be an
entrepreneur to you me it’s about
107
[00:07:31],259 –> [00:07:35],610
freedom it’s about not having to be
underneath somebody and not having set
108
[00:07:35],610 –> [00:07:40],800
ours to work and you know the ultimate
goal for me is to be able to do whatever
109
[00:07:40],800 –> [00:07:42],360
I want whenever I want to
110
[00:07:42],360 –> [00:07:46],199
whether that be because i have money to
do it or the time to do it it’s being
111
[00:07:46],199 –> [00:07:49],860
entrepreneurs the ultimate goal is to
free up both of those things wink
112
[00:07:49],860 –> [00:07:54],539
so what would you say inspires you I
inspirational eyes it’s the ultimate
113
[00:07:54],539 –> [00:07:59],490
inspiration is freedom I mean just you
know not having to be in the office
114
[00:07:59],490 –> [00:08:04],379
every day it’s I want to live my life I
want to travel the world I want to know
115
[00:08:04],379 –> [00:08:08],699
what it’s like to guess the ultimate
word is nirvana
116
[00:08:09],449 –> [00:08:14],159
I want that feeling of no wants or
desires because I can do whatever I want
117
[00:08:14],159 –> [00:08:16],469
so I’m just content with doing nothing
at all
118
[00:08:16],469 –> [00:08:20],699
that’s really like my life goal so how
did your dream come about a lot of
119
[00:08:20],699 –> [00:08:22],139
reading when I was younger
120
[00:08:22],139 –> [00:08:26],159
just reading about different businesses
how people got started and I really
121
[00:08:26],159 –> [00:08:29],789
looked up to people that were in the
business world that were really
122
[00:08:29],789 –> [00:08:36],750
successful I back before robert kiyosaki
was trying to solve everybody his books
123
[00:08:36],750 –> [00:08:41],820
even Donald Trump is mostly him now he
was a big inspiration for me successful
124
[00:08:41],820 –> [00:08:44],760
business people in general so how is
your dream received by your family
125
[00:08:44],760 –> [00:08:50],819
members you know it’s funny I think my
family started off basically growing up
126
[00:08:50],820 –> [00:08:57],870
we were really poor my mom and dad had
me really young my dad was just starting
127
[00:08:57],870 –> [00:09:04],770
his business and we were you know it’s
so close to losing our house so close to
128
[00:09:04],770 –> [00:09:06],300
everything I remember it all
129
[00:09:06],300 –> [00:09:12],719
I was probably five years old somehow I
still remember at all armed and my dad’s
130
[00:09:12],720 –> [00:09:17],850
a hostelry coach started business and
never put and I think that mindset kind
131
[00:09:17],850 –> [00:09:22],50
of came from him he was always like that
my brother’s I have two brothers are
132
[00:09:22],50 –> [00:09:25],170
younger than me that have very similar
mindsets that are kind of both breaking
133
[00:09:25],170 –> [00:09:27],99
into the business world now
134
[00:09:27],100 –> [00:09:32],890
younger 22-24 and we all looked like
kind of the same way where we don’t want
135
[00:09:32],890 –> [00:09:37],630
to just live a normal life shit back
work our job retire and then just have
136
[00:09:37],630 –> [00:09:42],790
nothing to do we want to experience
everything the world can give you it’s
137
[00:09:42],790 –> [00:09:47],740
it’s actually really helpful to have my
family kind of witness a mindset and
138
[00:09:47],740 –> [00:09:50],740
we’re all pushing each other all the
time to do bigger and better things
139
[00:09:51],400 –> [00:09:54],819
so what steps did you take to get
started while getting started like i
140
[00:09:54],820 –> [00:09:58],30
said i was employed and got into
accident ended up back here in New
141
[00:09:58],30 –> [00:10:03],939
Jersey living with my mom and I had like
three broken bones and a mess up hip
142
[00:10:03],940 –> [00:10:08],20
from the accident so I didn’t really
have much of a way to work but my dad
143
[00:10:08],20 –> [00:10:13],660
had owned his boating business he was a
repair guy base with boats and he said
144
[00:10:13],660 –> [00:10:19],150
it for that time probably already 20
years so he’s got piles upon piles of
145
[00:10:19],150 –> [00:10:24],850
old used boat parts behind the shop in
the shop all over the place i went in
146
[00:10:24],850 –> [00:10:29],770
and start putting them on ebay and see
if i can sell and it just kind of took
147
[00:10:29],770 –> [00:10:34],270
off from there we sold tons of use both
parts my dad had already been sound a
148
[00:10:34],270 –> [00:10:37],150
little bit on ebay but they really the
times you busy working with customers
149
[00:10:37],150 –> [00:10:42],790
boats we pretty much sold all the you
stuff that he had and went on to start
150
[00:10:42],790 –> [00:10:47],199
listing more and more new things on
there and you know two years and we add
151
[00:10:47],200 –> [00:10:51],670
thousand items on ebay and they were
also some pretty well and from there we
152
[00:10:51],670 –> [00:10:55],689
went on the building websites we’re
going to do an amazon store as well and
153
[00:10:55],690 –> [00:10:59],800
just kind of keeps growing from there
basically so what roblox have you come
154
[00:10:59],800 –> [00:11:07],30
across a boy the employees it was hard
to find people still is hard to find
155
[00:11:07],30 –> [00:11:11],380
people to do something in this line of
work with new way because you need
156
[00:11:11],380 –> [00:11:16],720
people that understand two things boats
and computers and people that are really
157
[00:11:16],720 –> [00:11:20],710
good with computers don’t know anything
about boats and people that have votes
158
[00:11:20],710 –> [00:11:24],910
that work on their own boat that
understand both parts have no clue how
159
[00:11:24],910 –> [00:11:29],290
to use computer so to find something in
the middle of that it’s really
160
[00:11:29],290 –> [00:11:34],599
challenging second challenge is really
like scaling from something smaller
161
[00:11:34],600 –> [00:11:38],600
something bigger to keeping track of
your inventory and
162
[00:11:38],600 –> [00:11:42],230
when you sell on multiple platforms like
we have three websites and an ebay store
163
[00:11:42],230 –> [00:11:45],470
that all might have the same item bottom
to balance your inventory over those
164
[00:11:45],470 –> [00:11:51],350
three areas is really tricky so how have
you overcome those Robox well you know
165
[00:11:51],350 –> [00:11:55],130
we went through about three shipping
managers before we found you know
166
[00:11:55],130 –> [00:11:59],149
someone we liked we got a really good
guy now you know works about $PERCENT
167
[00:11:59],149 –> [00:12:02],899
off and we invoke you know allows me to
not have to worry about that so I can
168
[00:12:02],899 –> [00:12:07],790
focus more on other things do have
interns in and out of here that I our
169
[00:12:07],790 –> [00:12:11],180
work that do basic work work on the
listings and they’re not really about
170
[00:12:11],180 –> [00:12:14],989
people not really computer people but
people that can kind of do the list of
171
[00:12:14],990 –> [00:12:18],949
things that I and them that I kinda gets
a little bit of work off my back as far
172
[00:12:18],949 –> [00:12:24],170
as the inventory and all that fun stuff
that’s still really a challenge kind of
173
[00:12:24],170 –> [00:12:28],639
the team here between me and my shipping
guy and everybody else here my dad even
174
[00:12:28],639 –> [00:12:35],149
we just watch carefully and keep it as
up-to-date as possible we still at this
175
[00:12:35],149 –> [00:12:39],980
point run into every once in awhile
overselling something or pricing not
176
[00:12:39],980 –> [00:12:44],60
being updated which updated when we can
and you know sometimes little lost but
177
[00:12:44],60 –> [00:12:47],750
it’s not that big of a deal compared to
the big picture right now i’m working
178
[00:12:47],750 –> [00:12:51],680
with a software company to develop a
software that automates at all that
179
[00:12:51],680 –> [00:12:57],258
basically builds a bridge from my
website to all of my suppliers that will
180
[00:12:57],259 –> [00:13:02],779
adjust pricing an inventory based on
their files on a daily basis that’s kind
181
[00:13:02],779 –> [00:13:06],500
of been like a year in the works and
it’s started making good headway but
182
[00:13:06],500 –> [00:13:10],850
it’s a lot of work and once that’s done
it can really be the next level for us I
183
[00:13:10],850 –> [00:13:16],130
think that kind of program it can be
very expensive it’s it’s hard to find a
184
[00:13:16],130 –> [00:13:21],50
good trustworthy programmer we’ve been
through probably 45 of them that we
185
[00:13:21],50 –> [00:13:25],699
tried failed try and fail and I’m kind
of getting better at trying new people .
186
[00:13:25],699 –> [00:13:30],50
i’m not willing to pay anybody unless
they make it work so i’m working with
187
[00:13:30],50 –> [00:13:35],389
now is you know i’ll pay them good money
but not working i’m pretty confident
188
[00:13:35],389 –> [00:13:36],680
these guys going to do the trick
189
[00:13:36],680 –> [00:13:41],449
so it’s a really fancy system yeah I’ve
explained the people before that you
190
[00:13:41],449 –> [00:13:44],680
know just because you have an idea and
you don’t know how to program it
191
[00:13:44],680 –> [00:13:49],449
and somebody tells you oh I’ll do it for
two grand doesn’t necessarily mean that
192
[00:13:49],450 –> [00:13:53],260
it’s gonna be two grand because they
they know that once you’re into grand
193
[00:13:53],260 –> [00:13:56],80
that you’re going to be willing to spend
more money because you’re already in it
194
[00:13:56],80 –> [00:13:59],980
you know you’re in it to win it at that
point you you’re probably a year or two
195
[00:13:59],980 –> [00:14:04],810
in the development so you’re not going
to go to anybody else and they got you
196
[00:14:05],470 –> [00:14:10],630
yep oh yeah having only it’s a shame it
really is a shame i mean the best way to
197
[00:14:10],630 –> [00:14:15],189
that I’ve explained the people is really
with anything it’s just jump in and do
198
[00:14:15],190 –> [00:14:16],240
it yourself
199
[00:14:16],240 –> [00:14:19],600
I mean if you don’t know how to program
there’s tons of books out there there’s
200
[00:14:19],600 –> [00:14:24],730
tons of youtube videos there’s plenty of
ways to find out and there’s plenty of
201
[00:14:24],730 –> [00:14:31],29
support groups to find out but I mean
depending on it like in your case did
202
[00:14:31],29 –> [00:14:35],649
those kinds of um where it’s not talking
about a nap you really kind of have to
203
[00:14:35],649 –> [00:14:36],760
know what you’re doing
204
[00:14:36],760 –> [00:14:40],120
oh yeah this is at a level of
programming that I’m doing for the
205
[00:14:40],120 –> [00:14:43],630
software for the back into the business
here is well beyond what I’m capable of
206
[00:14:43],630 –> [00:14:48],790
doing i can build a website i can build
a simple at but this is a some pretty
207
[00:14:48],790 –> [00:14:52],390
serious stuff but even through my trials
with other companies and other
208
[00:14:52],390 –> [00:14:56],920
programmers I’ve learned enough and
taught myself things so now that I
209
[00:14:56],920 –> [00:15:00],400
understand what to tell them to do at
least you know I understand what they’re
210
[00:15:00],400 –> [00:15:04],360
gonna do I just not going to do it
myself without doing it full time for
211
[00:15:04],360 –> [00:15:08],800
probably years and they have full team
of people so you definitely need a lot
212
[00:15:08],800 –> [00:15:13],000
of people to make the bigger the dream
the more people you need to eat to make
213
[00:15:13],000 –> [00:15:16],570
that happen especially when it comes to
programming so as any parts of your
214
[00:15:16],570 –> [00:15:18],130
dream that haven’t quite worked out yet
215
[00:15:18],130 –> [00:15:22],600
all you know is going to be a
multi-millionaire by almost 25 but 27
216
[00:15:22],600 –> [00:15:26],800
now and that still working on itself
other than Adam you know I can’t
217
[00:15:26],800 –> [00:15:33],310
complain that’s i’m still at this point
in the business in my office almost
218
[00:15:33],310 –> [00:15:38],949
every day lot of hours fine-tuning
things and trying to make it work so
219
[00:15:38],950 –> [00:15:42],880
it’s not you know very far from my goal
still but i don’t think there’s been any
220
[00:15:42],880 –> [00:15:47],170
major roadblocks that were just you know
good learning experiences so do you have
221
[00:15:47],170 –> [00:15:51],399
a favorite memory from all your
entrepreneurship it’s hard to say you
222
[00:15:51],399 –> [00:15:55],600
know it’s always a good memory when you
break your I monthly sales record or
223
[00:15:55],600 –> [00:15:56],290
something
224
[00:15:56],290 –> [00:15:57],889
at this point we keep doing it
225
[00:15:57],889 –> [00:16:02],420
three months so it’s I’d just like to
think back to know before i started
226
[00:16:02],420 –> [00:16:05],899
doing this before i was doing really
well i remember things like just looking
227
[00:16:05],899 –> [00:16:10],309
at people that were successful and
saying man I couldn’t even imagine being
228
[00:16:10],309 –> [00:16:14],809
that . and now i’m kinda like beyond
that . now I look up to people even
229
[00:16:14],809 –> [00:16:18],589
farther down the road I just think it’s
probably a never-ending ladder of
230
[00:16:18],589 –> [00:16:24],799
success but it’s cool to see that you
know to look back and remember where you
231
[00:16:24],799 –> [00:16:30],470
were five years ago and say well if this
where i am now seems impossible then I
232
[00:16:30],470 –> [00:16:36],319
look at a guy like Elon Musk’s Tesla
Motors and his brother really successful
233
[00:16:36],319 –> [00:16:39],889
company the stable that might seem crazy
now but five years from now might not
234
[00:16:39],889 –> [00:16:42],529
you know so it’s what keeps me going
235
[00:16:42],529 –> [00:16:47],29
it’s funny how that that cycle never
even come to an end because once you get
236
[00:16:47],29 –> [00:16:52],790
to that point of a Bill Gates or or even
lesser than Bill Gates the cycle starts
237
[00:16:52],790 –> [00:16:57],108
over because now it’s a race to donate
as much money as you possibly can to be
238
[00:16:57],109 –> [00:16:58],249
successful
239
[00:16:58],249 –> [00:17:02],149
exactly it so there’s always something
that’s you know I have friends and but
240
[00:17:02],149 –> [00:17:05],990
families that are way more success with
me that I look up to and you know you
241
[00:17:05],990 –> [00:17:09],679
could have a conversation with them and
they talk about other people when I you
242
[00:17:09],679 –> [00:17:10],399
think of them
243
[00:17:10],398 –> [00:17:13],638
it’s just amazing to see that that’s
just like if you base your happiness
244
[00:17:13],638 –> [00:17:17],629
upon how successful you are you’re never
going to get there because it’s not
245
[00:17:17],630 –> [00:17:22],69
something that has an end really i don’t
think so you kind of touched on it but
246
[00:17:22],69 –> [00:17:25],250
let’s go deeper into what your dreams
for the future look like
247
[00:17:25],250 –> [00:17:29],269
well I really with new wave marine with
the websites all little building it’s
248
[00:17:29],269 –> [00:17:33],860
the goal is to really make it automated
so you know automate pricing automate
249
[00:17:33],860 –> [00:17:38],539
inventory ought to be automate drop
shipping and have a good crew you’re
250
[00:17:38],539 –> [00:17:43],789
running it you know once i get that
really down i really want to focus more
251
[00:17:43],789 –> [00:17:47],330
on my marketing company i’m not royal
enterprises
252
[00:17:47],330 –> [00:17:50],658
I don’t have a lot of time for that
right now I kind of do you know one or
253
[00:17:50],659 –> [00:17:55],639
two projects a month with that right now
for smaller businesses local businesses
254
[00:17:55],639 –> [00:17:59],149
a lot of my friends that have business
to help them out and I don’t do it for
255
[00:17:59],149 –> [00:18:03],620
half the price that a major marketing
company would do and it’s the same stuff
256
[00:18:03],620 –> [00:18:07],250
that I’m doing here for my business new
wave you know I learned if i doing it
257
[00:18:07],250 –> [00:18:10],540
which is a big advantage over I
258
[00:18:10],540 –> [00:18:15],70
somebody to learn to buy go to school
for it i’ve implemented it but overall
259
[00:18:15],70 –> [00:18:19],720
you know it’s hard to say for the future
plans with these two businesses the
260
[00:18:19],720 –> [00:18:24],490
grown as big as I can make them
successful and who knows where to go
261
[00:18:24],490 –> [00:18:28],690
from there you know i would love to try
new things try new businesses and new
262
[00:18:28],690 –> [00:18:30],790
people that’s what’s fun for me
263
[00:18:30],790 –> [00:18:35],680
yeah i can attest to meeting new people
as being very fun as part of the one of
264
[00:18:35],680 –> [00:18:39],220
the perks of doing this show so do you
have any last thoughts you’d like to
265
[00:18:39],220 –> [00:18:39],790

anybody that’s looking to start their
267
[00:18:42],820 –> [00:18:47],260
own business with you know like an
entrepreneurial mindset just realized
268
[00:18:47],260 –> [00:18:51],220
that begins the hardest part if you can
get past that it’s a lot of fun you know
269
[00:18:51],220 –> [00:18:55],360
it’s not all about making money it’s
about being able to do what you want to
270
