How BIG is your BET.

[Nathan Douglas]

When I decided to quit the job and put MY time into MY business, I was deciding to place a bet.

No revenue. No customers. No expert knowledge in the industry of my choice. Just a bet, with a supplier in Utah and an empty marketplace. I am pushing my site live in August with no guarantee on success. When this fails and my business model shows error, or my customers show no interest, I won't give up, I will pivot. I will fire and hire with the motivation to retire. I am dumping 10 grand into this business with the chance of success around the same percentage as the interest you are getting in your savings account. Actually, I bet that my success rate is higher than your saving accounts interest rate. Because your savings account is just sitting there, making no bets, not pushing out any products, not forging your ideas into reality. I can tell you that if my business fails, I will learn what went wrong, adjust the pitch and increase the throttle.


Walking out your door and getting in your car is a bet. You are betting your life that you can make it to work or the grocery store without an 18 wheeler slamming into you. Placing your money in a savings account is placing a bet into that bank and the federal government that they can back up your account if they fail. Sleeping in your bed at night is placing a bet that your house has a sturdy roof. What I am learning in life is everything is just a BIG a$$ BET, and whether your morals restrict you to place bets or not, I am sorry to tell you but you are doing it everyday.




Becoming an entrepreneur was the best thing to ever happen to me, and I am positive that it will be the best thing to ever happen to you. Because YOU can place your own bets on your own business. You don't have to have "The Man" make bets that could negatively effect your job.
