I guess to earn your billion you'll need to do it like everyone else: one million dollars at a time. 😜

Mega wealth is just mind boggling.

To earn $1 million you'll need:
10,000 customers to pay you $100
(or 100 customers paying $10k each)

To earn $1 billion you'll need:
10,000 customers to pay you $100,000 💰

Spending time with people (in-person) seems to open up new worlds, expand your imagination, and trigger new ideas better than anything else.

(Yup, even better than thought-provoking blog posts, podcasts, or YouTube videos)

It's all about meeting the right people at the right time.

For example, listen to @garyvee talk to @kevinrose about how he got into Web 2.0:

"I was a wine guy. And then in 2002 I made a great hire: a tech dude named Erik @kastner."

As much as I'd like to stay home, nearly all the advances I've made were the result of getting on an airplane and hanging out with people in-person.

You have to travel. Go to events. Get out of your hometown.

The same pattern keeps emerging in every success story I see:

It's meeting the right PEOPLE face-to-face that results in the biggest insights, gains, and opportunities.

You can't do it all from behind a computer screen. You need to meet folks IRL.

Most of my family has gotten sick. 🤒

I thought for sure I was getting sick last night. 😰

Woke up feeling OK. Did I dodge a bullet?

☝️ This doesn’t mean you shouldn’t stop, look around, and take stock once in awhile:

Review what you’ve done.
Renew your vision.
And go!

@rsobers Trying to figure that out.

Product People podcast still has some name recognition. Maybe I should change it to "MegaMaker interviews?"

For me:

The email I receive in the morning gets processed quickly (archived or deleted).

The email I receive in the afternoon gets read.

Email stats don't tell us when people actually *read* email.

They tell us when people *open* email (in the morning).

Shit happens.

Nothing's guaranteed.

All we can really control is our decisions.

Give your best to others and hope for positive outcomes.
