SSS PART 2 
When I started changing, I was about thirteen to fourteen years old, I spend a lot of time with my Aunt Eva, who owns a barbecue restaurant for 22 years. During that time, she takes $100 a day out of cash register and bought bonds, and utility company stocks. Every day, 100 bucks. That was her whole program. She died a very very wealthy lady, left me a little bit money, that help me start with one of my first successful businesses. But the thing with my Aunt Eva, I would come over to her house. She always cook and really sweet, but one of the things she made me do to earn reward, was to read the Wall Street Journal. So, at 13 years old, I was reading the Wall Street Journal. At 14, I also read The New York Times. And read more books… I read between 4 and 6 newspapers in a day, now. Usually on the daily basis. If you’re not reading at least a Wall Street Journal every day, you’re doing yourself an incredible discerns, because everything’s great ideas are identified opportunities, and Wall Street Journal is a great job and helps you to do that. My real dad died when I was fourteen years old which is kind of a kick in the balls to me cause, I was going to move to move to Texas with my real dad. That was my dream. All of  a sudden, for whatever reason, right after that happen, And I’ll talk to you about How your Belief System change with Trauma , it’s one of the biggest ways you should believe, System’s change. That I had a dream, my dream was gonna live with my dad. He’s gonna take care of me; I didn’t know what a dad was. I still don’t. Not really. Never really had one. I had one , was a mean son of a bitch that likes to beat me when he got a chance.. I still don’t know what a dad’s like. It was gonna be Nirvana, why? Cause I didn’t kow who he was , And instantaneously, that dream died. So for whatever reason, all of my concentration turned for business. 
I do have a couple of influences that help me and one man that showed and took some interest in me. Who just basically told me, “You got a special spark in you, Son” He has no idea what that did into my life.  But it didn’t cost you anything, but encourage people and make a huge difference in their lives. When I was a senior high school, I made $85000, and I did it when it when $85000 was a lot of money.  I made it by reading the New York Times, and finally the guy who saw, split tag , Ralph Lauren polo shirts.  I found a place to buy on split tag, returns for $70 a piece and I was buying a UPS C.O.D. I would buy a thousand thousand dollars for the shirts, writes a check for them and I had two weeks to sell.

At fourteen years old, I was reading Wall Street Journal and New York Times

SSS PART 3 
Actually, it was not true. I went to Canada. 
I left the whole damn place where my brother committed suicide. And I snorted a corvette of my left notch for about three months..So, I lost everything I had. I did a lot of drugs. I got all my stuff and to get away from it, was to be far away to everything I knew as fast as I could and then I went to Canada. 
I went to work for the Waterloo Records at using basically the core of the system, I became a Sales Manager. I applied at 18 years old, to be the Sales Manager for Waterloo Records, managing 700 sales people and got the job. The Canadian Government was not so happy about that. So they won’t let me work there. I can’t get a work from it. They said if I want there, they run a job everywhere else and know the Canadian wanted it for three months that I can’t have which is impossible. So, I had relatives in Detroit. I move just down below the border. Went to Detroit and started selling cars. And my wife that time, got pregnant with twins. One in the back there is Victoria, my daughter and she had a twin sister Rachel. Things turn out real, real. They got extremely real. 
Then I had switch ears and really did something cool. You know Dan Kennedy? He wrote an infomercial about the US gold years ago, and talks about how they sold these gold chains by the inch and people take to the flame art and sell t.  I started a chain by the inch. I decided not to sell in the market though; I want to sell in the mall. Nobody ever done it before. There weren’t any pushcarts, It was a perfect timing. It was a perfect opportunity. It’s a different state of mind when you go ad buy at the mall. I set up a push cart in the mall, sell a chain by the inch, I spent 600 bucks and in about 18 months, I turned that one cart into 42. In 18 months, a 19 years old. 
The other part of the story is I was completely bankrupt at 24, and here’s why.. nobody should make a million dollars a year, when you are 19 years old. That’s the end of the story. It was idiotic. I have no idea what shrinkage was and accounting, taxes… I had no idea in any of that one. So I’m broke. Some of you guys know the story , I had three jobs ever, one at Mr. Jay’s Pancake House, when I was 12, secong telephone service job , fell asleep in the middle of the night and fired me, third at Walt Disney for 89 days. When I was in Florida, I ran hotdog carts. I swap the only car we own and did not tell my wife.. and traded for hotdog carts. That will not make you popular.

I ran Hot dog Carts when I was in Florida

SSS PART 4 
We did not make any money for two months and I made a unique selling proposition. The sellers were girls who wore short shorts and bikini tops. I sell stuff at flea markets; I eventually learn airbrush and became a tattoo artist.  I was turning thirty, and I said.. I already screwed up some ten years in my life. So I decided to try more legitimate business. Things that had scale. And that was again, catalyst as a media man who was making million dollars a week making freshener. His name is Velma Culley in Memphis, Tennessee. He’s still doing very, very well. So I was like.. I want to do, what you do. So then I realized, he would knock me off and he wouldn’t’ worry about me. I started manufacturing coffee, candles. Coffee store is a good store.. I decided to take some money that I have. I was writing insurance for Affleck and started to take my pay check and buy this old peanut roaster.  I met this guy in New Orleans , The funny thing about this peanut roaster, the old man tell me , cause I ask him what are the kneaders in preparing … and then he told me you don’t need any of these.. , “You just listen”. He was right by the way. When the coffee cracked for the first time, the second time, the funny part was, I put all the coffee in the coffee roaster  and I hear it started cracking .. So I wait.. And it seems forever. This old man on phone is teaching me how to roast coffee. I dream about that at night. How to make dollars with my first roasted coffee. So, I sort of roast a coffee and I screwed up on my first batch. Coffee comes out, but it smells bad, I vomited over all the coffee… smells bad… I called the guys and we revamp, we redo, the second coffee comes out good and fine. I already sold five thousand with that...  That’s the way I get in.. If you want to learn how to do something, you got to sell it first.. Like this one. I don’t have all the money left to screw again the coffee so we did a lot of work. We spent the whole day bagging coffee and they were finally get some money to ship it. All day long, we bagged 12000 and 5000 bag of coffee and which is a lot of money, we sold a couple of bags for about two to three thousand dollars… It went pretty well. I can see the money, so we finish up at 9:00 that night , we’re not closing the building and we got it all shipped up, we got to taped it up, label all the boxes and we go sitting around 5 gallons of boxes. And I learn to roast coffee.
