no. I'm a wantaferarri. I don't want to waste 5 years of my life stressing tf out. if i did that, i'd be too old and stressed out for it to actually be worth it.. I want to be going cross country to car meets TOMORROW. entrepreneurship is for psycho and sociopath's. you're literally making money by putting on a clown suit and putting on a show for some one to give you money and then spending hours every day figuring out how to make your clown suit more clowny. f that. just give me the money. I worked and played hard in my 20's came out with 0 bucks. it's w.e. I wouldn't change it if it meant I had to manage 20 different companies inside a company. i'm going to figure out how to get rich af without that much effort, putting on clown makeup or coding ( idk how to code :/ ).
I am impressed by the way you articulate words and put those words into strategies. This formula is one ability that pushes an individual to the edge of selling.
Just saw Your Interview on Futur and totally fell in Love with Your Soul ! ❤ Even though You are Younger than Me ? You have made so many Majestic Decisions that I Admire and Respect . 🙏🏽 Building My Brand and in Stage 1 , My Goal $0 - Million and this is So Valuable to understand. ❤
Top 3 beginner business problems: 1. You don't have something people want 2. You're selling to the wrong people 3. People don't understand the way you are conveying what you have ------- Instead of asking: "Which market do I target?", ask "Which customer do I know best?"
The amount of value in the video is unbelievable. How Leila doesn’t get more recognition in this space is beyond me. Thank you for all of your hard work!
I'm 22 and have been running my woodworking business for 3 years, I started from scratch at 19 not knowing a single thing about business or woodworking with no experience with tools or machinery, I've put probably 20k into tools, machinery rent and most importantly, lessons I have learned through mistakes. both the quantity and value of the knowledge presented in this video is mind-blowing. I had multiple a-ha moments that have consolidated ideas or shifted the way I think about my business. thank you so very much Leila. you and Alex have provided so much value to me and i look forward to meeting you guys down the road.
That sounds great, I'd love to hear what things you are going to do differently now having seen this video? I'm in my starting phase myself so any insights would be great!
@jacobsack, can you tell me what prompted you to start a woodworking business at 19, when you (at the time) didn't know anything about business or woodworking? Leila here mentioned that it's smarter to start a business in an industry/space you already know well, so I'm curious to hear from somebody who seemingly did the opposite. No judgement, just curiosity. TIA and good luck to you, my friend! :)
I love you guys, both of you. Despite brain fog, chemo brain, peripheral neuropathy, depression and debt up to my neck - by listening and reading your advice, I am starting to regain hope. Thank you
This is just phenomenal. In a period where I'm watching summaries for any videos over 4 minutes long. A summary wouldn't suffice. Like Alex, Leila's ability to simplify complex topics in a thought-provoking manner and put things plainly, this feels like educational gold for entrepreneurs.
I don't how many business classes I just took by watching this, but I feel like that scene in The Matrix when Trinity downloads how to fly a helicopter in 3 seconds. Amazing video
It is crazy how articulate this plan is. I've already focused up my gameplan and implemented changes saving me months of time from one watch through alone. Thank you.
I am currently in my 50s and This is no time to taper retirement savings. I want to max out my retirement contributions and I also have another $200k in a savings account that i want to invest in a non-retirement account. Where should I invest it now?
Safest approach i feel to tackle it is to diversify investments. By spreading investments across different asset classes, like bonds, and international stocks, they can reduce the impact of a market meltdown. its important to seek the guidance of an expert
A good number of people discredit the effectiveness of financial advisors in exploring new markets, but over the past 10years I’ve had a financial advisor consistently restructure and diversify my portfolio/expenses and I’ve made over $1.2m in gains… might not be a lot but i'm financially secure.
My CFA 'Grace Adams Cook' , a renowned figure in her line of work. I recommend researching her credentials further. She has many years of experience and is a valuable resource for anyone looking to navigate the financial market.
Wow. Incredible job, Leila. You killed this. And you know it. This piece of content will be valuable for business owners for years and years to come. Well done.

30 minutes of intense learning skills presented has a simple how to do and how to achieve anything and any type of business... And with a simple real language, this is worth your time, i will watch this over and over!!!!!!!! 🤩
I've been watching a ton of business videos (yeah, I'm in the swamp!) and this was the first one that made me create a separate playlist to save it. The value is UNREAL. Thank you!
I have never seen a video so packed with content and value as this one. There are whole (paid) courses that do not deliver half of the value than this video does. WOW! Dear Leila, following you right now!
Great commentary Leila. I streamlined my channel, choose a platform, and choose an outlet. I stopped the consumption and am doing first hand work. It's amazing. I'm quickly learning what is needed and not, and who wants what I have! I clocking six figures and am ready to keep it going.
Years in banking and business and I can honestly say people will never hear anything as succinct and beneficial as this. Keep it up Leila. When growth comes, what I would love to hear your insights on is: 1 - Buy a business or build a business and corresponding challenges of each. 2 - Mergers and partnerships - what to look for and what to avoid Thank you!!
Thank you for being so real and sharing what you’ve experienced. This is me at this moment!! I needed to hear this!! I have clients and I hear them, and I’m my own enemy. 😅
Providing so much value in a 30-minute video is an incredible find. Thanks for breaking it down so thoroughly. This helps me visualize my goals and how to achieve them a lot more clearly. You are a gem 💎 Leila. Thank You for sharing your skills and knowledge with the rest of us.
Loved the simple frameworks and clarifying common myths. I think most people know what to do already (we all have an idea of what our next step should be, even if we can't see 10 steps ahead), but the problem is all the chatter and noise we get from our environment like social media, friends, family, etc, makes us go against our gut instinct and act against common sense.

I love how she calls out the stupid “hire slow fire fast” mantra. As someone coming from the tech/corporate world, I always thought of it as a thinly veiled excuse to fit whatever vague situation HMs have. I also love that she is normalizing being risk averse. I think that there is too much emphasis on “go big or go home”. Often in reality, it seems like “swing big, miss once, go home”. Looking forward to more content!
I just moved cities and building my clientele.. living pay check to pay check at the moment.. Leila and Alex’s are incredible.. I’m on stage 1 right now… yes there’s fear on how I’m going to make it but at the same time my skills are getting better.
I'm just putting it here now in November 2023!! One day, Leila, when I've levelled up, I would love for you to come on to my podcast and speak to my followers. Until then, it's time to level up!! I'm excited. Thanks for your help and your content.
Super inspirational. Nobody has put entrepreneur perspective like you described. I really do respect your hustle to run 3 companies and still give advice to the future generation.
Start with what you are good at. Do you have a specific skill that you excel in or something you know a ton about? I have been doing professional writing for years, so that is what I will be doing for my first business, offering a skill I already have unconscious competence in.
Despite being on this platform since 2015, this is the first time that I'll be commenting on a RUclips video, but it's because I wanted to say thank you so much for making this video. I cannot put into words how much this has helped and moved me because you have said the exact words that I never knew I needed to hear, but that I don't often see many creators talk about. I'm a 20 year old university student and it never hit me, until after watching this video, that I've been stalling on starting my business because I was waiting for the time that I'll feel "ready enough". Thank you so much for the value that you and Alex bring into the world. Honestly love and appreciate the things you guys put out.💯
I'm at the $300,000 mark. It's nice to have the income, but it sucks working by yourself. It's lonely and you have no social life. You're constantly solving some problem coming out of the perpetual left field. I can start hiring and buy automated equipment, but it's so hard to take the plunge and spend all the money you've been saving for years.
Perhaps you could find someone else nearby who has that same equipment and operate it during hours their business is down for a cut if new profits-and bring in 1099 super stars to grow the other areas for a % of growth they generate. …Of course, I have no idea what your business is, but I’ve been where you are and there are solutions you haven’t thought of- the key is often taking “free days” with no discussion of work, no work activities, just going fishing or something …as during those times your brain formulates genius creative strategies. More free days equals more genius. Work *on* your business more and less in it.
The loneliness in business is almost unavoidable. I’d embrace it and refrain it. Loneliness in general is avoidable. Just some suggestions… - Pickup pickleball - Have weekly lunches with other business owners in your area - Find something you want to get better at and hire a coach (fitness, nutrition, style, etc) Overall….$300k is top 5% of earners in the US! Excited for you!! Way to F’ing go!! 💪🏻
Insane value here! Was once an entrepreneur with success that later scaled too fast and became a wantrepreneur consumed by fear only to find myself back to the basics. Do not cloud your vision. Trust the 1 product/service, 1 avatar, with 1 channel methodology. Future you will thank you 1000x over
I love how practical this video is and I love how absolutely upfront and straightforward you are about starting a business. So inspiring yet at the same time, its the slap in the face that I need, just one avatar and just keep doing the work, the reps - thanks Leila!
Nobody can become financially successful overnight. They put in background work but we tend to see the finished part. Fear is a dangerous component, hindering us from taking bold steps we need in other to reach our goals. you have to contend with inflation, recession, decisions from the Feds and all. I was able to increase my portfolio by $289k in months. You have to seek for help in the right places.
13:39 girl.... no one told me this and it took me forever to get adjusted. 🙄 This is so important to know BEFORE the major transitions in life. Great job putting this out there
This is my favourite video of your channel ever! You broke it down concise, simple, and straight to the good stuff! Thank you so much for your work here.
I absolutely have NO idea what I am doing ! Thank you for this, this is my first time listening to you, and tyou, combined with your husband, are very validating for me. You have described so many phases I have gone through, and now I know i'm not a yutz, that the experiences I have had are common. Thanks
WOWW! Leila in one video you've helped me identify where I've been stuck, why, how to move past it AND identify what is needed to get to the next level. All in an INCREDIBLELY VALUABLE, informational and digestible way. This is literally a bite sized school of business masterclass. THANK YOU so much for sharing your experience, insight and knowledge!
Lady, I’ve barely dipped my toe in stage 1 waters, relatively speaking. I have 1 service, 1 avatar, 0 channel. Recently, stumbled onto you and Alex and I content you two deliver is top notch. The candor and fundamentals you both deliver are worth more than the tens of thousand dollars invested to date. TONS of value on the “What” with your secret sauce money-maker being the “How.” Jokers out there selling the “What” always fall short on the “How.” Disheartening and discouraging AF. Reminds me of the book, The Go-Giver. I just need to get off my ass, do the damn thing by taking imperfection and NOT being afraid to suck for a season or two.
Leila, breaking down the specific problems of $1-$1M, distractions, skill development, discouragement (mindset & Skillset) required and showing there IS a result and just focus in these specific things. NOTHING ELSE, and blocking out influences telling you to do this, when it has very little impact on the end goal now which is consistent CASHFLOW. That Is golden for me and likely others. Drilling down even more specifically into how or the best place to go to aquire, sales and marketing skills (knowledge, then calls/ads etc) would be helpful. I DID see the selling book on influence which I will get 100%. Thanks, your such an amazing direct and powerful role model. THX. Keep it up, grateful and learning......XO
Love this video! To add, as the final level of the “Hierarchy of Competence” is “Conscious of Unconscious Competence”, which is being aware that you have the competences mastered and can now teach/mentor others. ❤So….YOU!! 🎉Thank you for your knowledge!
Your analysis is inspiring and mine is similar. Getting the best strategies for short term/long-term trading involves a lot and I stayed determined, took risks and also learned from my mistakes. Considering how beneficial my investing in trade has been lately, my target is to hit 1million by January 2024 and I believe it is achievable
Mind blowing dear Leila, you are not in the "shadow", you really produce also a big value ! I started with Alex's content and now i am also impressed from your quality ! Merci !!!!
The amount of valuable information crammed into this video is mind blowing. I'm taking notes on section one and have to rewind to keep up with every gem.
0-100 million, that’s where I’m at. After learning from Alex I was still unsure of what it meant to be an entrepreneur at $0 working on her first million. The first ten minutes of this “tutorial” finally explained those last mysteries and I have a clearer vision now. Thank you.
Definitely appreciate the “probably don’t need to worry about that right now.” Very practical for me to focus on the right now and not “the ideal” that will likely change soon after just starting.
I grew up hard. Quit school early to work labor jobs. It was awful - I'm 40 I still have nightmares about it. I learned about mutual funds and eventually real estate. Living on a shoestring and investing with a hope to someday escape the working world madhouse eventually came true for me. But in a strange twist of fate, I'm grateful for the humble beginnings - it was valuable motivation..
I pay monthly in this order.. tithes, myself, and then bills. I have my investments, savings and emergency savings automated so I don’t have to worry about those. I am then able to have my wants and I always have money left over because I am debt free! Praise God!
Very true! I've been able to scale from $150K to $489k in this red season because my Financial Advisor figured out Defensive strategies which help portfolios be less vulnerable to market downturns
Wow one of the best videos from either you or your husband. I normally enjoy his videos more but this one was exceptional. Thanks for all that you do for the little guys!
This would be 2 years of lectures in business school. So articulate and concise 👊 Q. Is it better to look for a niche with a smaller market or try to out compete and over deliver in a bigger more crowded market?
Its better to spin the market to create a new service or solve a problem for your customers have within the marketplace. Then you can compete in the bigger market but still be kinda in a blue ocean. Its like creating your own market. Let the customers be your guide. KISS.
The question is, what market have you already been involved in? Where you have worked and what positions you've held have given you some type of insight on “this could be better.” What is that for you?
This is huge framework and as a small clothing brand owner this is literally perfect like perfect timing. This is all about true dedication focus and adapibilty
Thank You for being the Valuable Value Givibg person that you are. Not even close to 50 000 yet ... and I know my first hire will primarily be paperwork- client journey - admin. Cause Frick I suck at it!
Thank you! Thank you! You made this so simple and easy to digest. I’ve been consuming sooo much information, reading, taking classes and free webinars and seminars while building my startup and it started to become overwhelming! Information overload. Thank you for bringing the simplicity back and motivating be to not give up! Awesome video!
I’ve never heard someone touch on whether you take money from the business personally or not and thinking from that perspective as you’re starting/growing - and then answering it from your experience based on personal circumstance. This was brilliant. Very helpful. Leila, you’re authenticity it refreshing
This is SO good! I've been working on a product/process for the past 5 years that I haven't got quite right...yet, but I believe in it and the potential of the product. Thanks for this video, Leila!
Congratulations and appreciation for your service and thanks for the complete content and without the slightest amount of time unfortunately we cannot focus on your words، because of the beauty and perfections and the very unique sound of everything that others wish you to be complete،
I knew I wanted to start my business since 18, I’m 26 now and I feel she is soo right I was stuck in this learning cycle. Now I feel ready but through the years I accumulated soo many ideas that now it is hard to know which one to pick to start off with. Service or Content business...I feel with service I can get money faster than with content but it also could be a channel of getting clients so I am in this limbo
Thanks girl, you really hit a home run on everything. You and Alex are so like minded that you both have said the same things. It's good the conversation is on the same page.
Thank you for this video Leila! I started in fitness as well, which pushed me to coaching and speaking. Want to expand the brand into apparel. Building a business is truly a long game. Appreciate you giving so much detail and discussing the concept of business beyond 1million.

The amount of value in the video is unbelievable. How Leila doesn’t get more recognition in this space is beyond me. Thank you for all of your hard work!
She is new and reserved. It takes time. It's a process.
This video is probably worth more than my entire business degree
Bruuuuuh! I felt that😅
Yep, I feel the same.
I'm 22 and have been running my woodworking business for 3 years, I started from scratch at 19 not knowing a single thing about business or woodworking with no experience with tools or machinery, I've put probably 20k into tools, machinery rent and most importantly, lessons I have learned through mistakes.
both the quantity and value of the knowledge presented in this video is mind-blowing.

That sounds great, I'd love to hear what things you are going to do differently now having seen this video?
I'm in my starting phase myself so any insights would be great!
I'm almost 50 and learning woodworking. I've made a few nice pieces and would love to learn how to sell and market them.
@jacobsack, can you tell me what prompted you to start a woodworking business at 19, when you (at the time) didn't know anything about business or woodworking?
Leila here mentioned that it's smarter to start a business in an industry/space you already know well, so I'm curious to hear from somebody who seemingly did the opposite. No judgement, just curiosity.
TIA and good luck to you, my friend! :)
No one else on RUclips (besides the Hormozis) seems to come close to providing this level of value when it comes to business.
You’re now my female role model in Entrepreneurship. Thank you so much Leila! Super helpful stuff !
❤ She's the big sis' we never had ❤
She isn't female
I love you guys, both of you. Despite brain fog, chemo brain, peripheral neuropathy, depression and debt up to my neck - by listening and reading your advice, I am starting to regain hope. Thank you
Yes! Keep it up

@leilahomozii.. Love to, what's the best way? 😉
Most paid coach's and consultant's will never give you such a compiled practical information. ONLY LEILA CAN DO THIS.
Thank you for being so real and sharing what you’ve experienced. This is me at this moment!! I needed to hear this!! I have clients and I hear them, and I’m my own enemy. 😅
Real talk. Thanks for sharing, Leila! I'm on my 0-$1M and the struggle is real.
This has to be one of the best business related videos I have ever watched. Downloading for notes.
This video is absolutely phenomenal... have already shared it with 10 different people. GRATEFUL!!!

Only just came across Leila after watching a whole lot of Alex. Insane value. Can't believe this is free.
Providing so much value in a 30-minute video is an incredible find. Thanks for breaking it down so thoroughly. This helps me visualize my goals and how to achieve them a lot more clearly. You are a gem 💎 Leila. Thank You for sharing your skills and knowledge with the rest of us.
I agree. Lets get together and discuss these gems over drinks. 😉
Loved the simple frameworks and clarifying common myths.

Very true!
Love both you guys, I have taken the big step, despite the immediate risk and fear, thank you for everything you do

Would love a video on best online business models to start with 100 Dollars. Beginner Friendly

Only halfway through the video and ALREADY GETTING SO MUCH VALUE AND MOTIVATION! Thank-you Leila!
Just like you I'm trying to learn and learn ,but I'm not sure what to do ,what to sell, where to start? You just come to me at right time!
Start with what you are good at. Do you have a specific skill that you excel in or something you know a ton about? I have been doing professional writing for years, so that is what I will be doing for my first business, offering a skill I already have unconscious competence in.

I cannot put into words how much this has helped and moved me because you have said the exact words that I never knew I needed to hear, but that I don't often see many creators talk about. I'm a 20 year old university student and it never hit me, until after watching this video, that I've been stalling on starting my business because I was waiting for the time that I'll feel "ready enough". Thank you so much for the value that you and Alex bring into the world. Honestly love and appreciate the things you guys put out.💯
I'm at the $300,000 mark. It's nice to have the income, but it sucks working by yourself. It's lonely and you have no social life. You're constantly solving some problem coming out of the perpetual left field. I can start hiring and buy automated equipment, but it's so hard to take the plunge and spend all the money you've been saving for years.
Perhaps you could find someone else nearby who has that same equipment and operate it during hours their business is down for a cut if new profits-and bring in 1099 super stars to grow the other areas for a % of growth they generate.
…Of course, I have no idea what your business is, but I’ve been where you are and there are solutions you haven’t thought of- the key is often taking “free days” with no discussion of work, no work activities, just going fishing or something …as during those times your brain formulates genius creative strategies.
More free days equals more genius. Work *on* your business more and less in it.
The loneliness in business is almost unavoidable. I’d embrace it and refrain it.
Loneliness in general is avoidable. Just some suggestions…
- Pickup pickleball
- Have weekly lunches with other business owners in your area
- Find something you want to get better at and hire a coach (fitness, nutrition, style, etc)
Overall….$300k is top 5% of earners in the US! Excited for you!! Way to F’ing go!! 💪🏻
Insane value here! Was once an entrepreneur with success that later scaled too fast and became a wantrepreneur consumed by fear only to find myself back to the basics. Do not cloud your vision. Trust the 1 product/service, 1 avatar, with 1 channel methodology. Future you will thank you 1000x over
I love how practical this video is and I love how absolutely upfront and straightforward you are about starting a business. So inspiring yet at the same time, its the slap in the face that I need, just one avatar and just keep doing the work, the reps - thanks Leila!
what is an avatar? A customer profile?
Nobody can become financially successful overnight. They put in background work but we tend to see the finished part. Fear is a dangerous component, hindering us from taking bold steps we need in other to reach our goals. you have to contend with inflation, recession, decisions from the Feds and all. I was able to increase my portfolio by $289k in months. You have to seek for help in the right places.
And making money from our time
13:39 girl.... no one told me this and it took me forever to get adjusted.
🙄
This is so important to know BEFORE the major transitions in life.
Great job putting this out there
Best roadmap I’ve seen yet. We’re getting close to crossing into stage 2 and I’m definitely feeling out of my depth.
People charge tons of money and she explained step by step for free with very high-quality content. No words for that.
I had to stop what I was doing and started taking notes. Thank you, Leila ❤
This is my favourite video of your channel ever! You broke it down concise, simple, and straight to the good stuff! Thank you so much for your work here.
For those who will starting out now. Just watch 00:00 until 14:10
You need to focus on that, repeat it if possible.
This channel is heaven sent for anyone on their entrepreneurship journey. Thanks Leila!
You’re such a powerhouse!!! Thank you 🙏🙏🔥🔥
Yes she is
This is awesome information but I have to rewatch it again because I am learning and becoming a MILLIONAIRE! Amen
I absolutely have NO idea what I am doing !
Thank you for this, this is my first time listening to you, and tyou, combined with your husband, are very validating for me. You have described so many phases I have gone through, and now I know i'm not a yutz, that the experiences I have had are common. Thanks
WOWW! Leila in one video you've helped me identify where I've been stuck, why, how to move past it AND identify what is needed to get to the next level. All in an INCREDIBLELY VALUABLE, informational and digestible way.
This is literally a bite sized school of business masterclass.
THANK YOU so much for sharing your experience, insight and knowledge!
The part about marketing and selling. Knowing your customers and what they need.
You and Alex are bar none the best resource for wantapreneurs and startup solopreneurs!
Lady, I’ve barely dipped my toe in stage 1 waters, relatively speaking. I have 1 service, 1 avatar, 0 channel.
Recently, stumbled onto you and Alex and I content you two deliver is top notch. The candor and fundamentals you both deliver are worth more than the tens of thousand dollars invested to date.
TONS of value on the “What” with your secret sauce money-maker being the “How.” Jokers out there selling the “What” always fall short on the “How.” Disheartening and discouraging AF.
Reminds me of the book, The Go-Giver.
I just need to get off my ass, do the damn thing by taking imperfection and NOT being afraid to suck for a season or two.
I’m only 15 minutes in and this has already been the most helpful video I’ve seen on RUclips relating to business
Leila, breaking down the specific problems of $1-$1M, distractions, skill development, discouragement (mindset & Skillset) required and showing there IS a result and just focus in these specific things. NOTHING ELSE, and blocking out influences telling you to do this, when it has very little impact on the end goal now which is consistent CASHFLOW. That Is golden for me and likely others. Drilling down even more specifically into how or the best place to go to aquire, sales and marketing skills (knowledge, then calls/ads etc) would be helpful. I DID see the selling book on influence which I will get 100%. Thanks, your such an amazing direct and powerful role model. THX. Keep it up, grateful and learning......XO
Love this video! To add, as the final level of the “Hierarchy of Competence” is “Conscious of Unconscious Competence”, which is being aware that you have the competences mastered and can now teach/mentor others. ❤So….YOU!! 🎉Thank you for your knowledge!
Your analysis is inspiring and mine is similar. Getting the best strategies for short term/long-term trading involves a lot and I stayed determined, took risks and also learned from my mistakes. Considering how beneficial my investing in trade has been lately, my target is to hit 1million by January 2024 and I believe it is achievable
What is your strategy ?
Best of luck
I rely on strategies from a source that ensures my monthly profits
How can I connect to your source for success tips
Telegrams
Really good information and explanation, personally the most difficult think to do it's to pack the first product, answering to "for who and what"
Mind blowing dear Leila, you are not in the "shadow", you really produce also a big value ! I started with Alex's content and now i am also impressed from your quality ! Merci !!!!
I have no words …. I NEEDED this half hour - badly - at this point in my journey … Thank you Leila 🙏🙏
The amount of valuable information crammed into this video is mind blowing. I'm taking notes on section one and have to rewind to keep up with every gem.
This was such a helpful video. No frills. Straight to the point and a great guide.
0-100 million, that’s where I’m at. After learning from Alex I was still unsure of what it meant to be an entrepreneur at $0 working on her first million. The first ten minutes of this “tutorial” finally explained those last mysteries and I have a clearer vision now. Thank you.
Definitely appreciate the “probably don’t need to worry about that right now.” Very practical for me to focus on the right now and not “the ideal” that will likely change soon after just starting.
For me the hard part is figuring out what product or service to offer. I have a lot of experience scaling a business, starting it is the problem.
I grew up hard. Quit school early to work labor jobs. It was awful - I'm 40 I still have nightmares about it. I learned about mutual funds and eventually real estate. Living on a shoestring and investing with a hope to someday escape the working world madhouse eventually came true for me.
But in a strange twist of fate, I'm grateful for the humble beginnings - it was valuable motivation..
I pay monthly in this order.. tithes, myself, and then bills. I have my investments, savings and emergency savings automated so I don’t have to worry about those. I am then able to have my wants and I always have money left over because I am debt free! Praise God!
Very true! I've been able to scale from $150K to $489k in this red season because my Financial Advisor figured out Defensive strategies which help portfolios be less vulnerable to market downturns

You can ask your internet
19 years old, you've hooked me. Thank you for the amazing information.
Wow one of the best videos from either you or your husband. I normally enjoy his videos more but this one was exceptional. Thanks for all that you do for the little guys!
Leila, I truly love the way you think and deliver it to the audience. Plus your being hardworking and promoting it over and over. Thank you!!
Ok this has so much information, straight to the point!!! 🤚
You're a beast and this is awesome. I love how you and Alex are able to explain everything so simply and clearly. Thanks for everything you do.
Lets goooo!!! I will 100% get you guys to scale my augusta lawn care franchise from 1M-10m next year 💯💯💯
This woman is gold. No BS. Love her.
This would be 2 years of lectures in business school. So articulate and concise 👊 Q. Is it better to look for a niche with a smaller market or try to out compete and over deliver in a bigger more crowded market?
Its better to spin the market to create a new service or solve a problem for your customers have within the marketplace. Then you can compete in the bigger market but still be kinda in a blue ocean. Its like creating your own market. Let the customers be your guide. KISS.
The question is, what market have you already been involved in? Where you have worked and what positions you've held have given you some type of insight on “this could be better.”
What is that for you?
This is huge framework and as a small clothing brand owner this is literally perfect like perfect timing.
This is all about true dedication focus and adapibilty
Thank You for being the Valuable Value Givibg person that you are. Not even close to 50 000 yet ... and I know my first hire will primarily be paperwork- client journey - admin. Cause Frick I suck at it!
Thank you! Thank you! You made this so simple and easy to digest. I’ve been consuming sooo much information, reading, taking classes and free webinars and seminars while building my startup and it started to become overwhelming! Information overload. Thank you for bringing the simplicity back and motivating be to not give up! Awesome video!
I’ve never heard someone touch on whether you take money from the business personally or not and thinking from that perspective as you’re starting/growing - and then answering it from your experience based on personal circumstance.
This was brilliant. Very helpful. Leila, you’re authenticity it refreshing
My boy is on it again!
This is SO good! I've been working on a product/process for the past 5 years that I haven't got quite right...yet, but I believe in it and the potential of the product. Thanks for this video, Leila!
So much value in this video, thank you Leila! 👑
This was by FAR! the best video for new business owners that I have EVER come across. Watch it, study it, and implement it.
Leila, your advice is always to the point.
This was the clearest explanation of the four levels of competency I've seen so far !
The value in the framework and explanation is unreal Leila. Thnx.🚀
Congratulations and appreciation for your service and thanks for the complete content and without the slightest amount of time unfortunately we cannot focus on your words، because of the beauty and perfections and the very unique sound of everything that others wish you to be complete،
I knew I wanted to start my business since 18, I’m 26 now and I feel she is soo right I was stuck in this learning cycle. Now I feel ready but through the years I accumulated soo many ideas that now it is hard to know which one to pick to start off with. Service or Content business...I feel with service I can get money faster than with content but it also could be a channel of getting clients so I am in this limbo
What is a content business?
Thanks girl, you really hit a home run on everything. You and Alex are so like minded that you both have said the same things. It's good the conversation is on the same page.
So many gems in here can’t wait to start a business and crush it with all the awesome info I get from u and Alex and other ppl like that
Thank you for this video Leila! I started in fitness as well, which pushed me to coaching and speaking. Want to expand the brand into apparel. Building a business is truly a long game. Appreciate you giving so much detail and discussing the concept of business beyond 1million.
