I know he has a social network for families with Mark Bao and an app store for business apps.
But at most those are 10-50K a year businesses...at least in the foreseeable future.
- ErrantX 16y agoHe has a couple more past businesses too. I'm not sure it matters though; he knows how to make money. The only real difference is volume.
- chc 16y agoAnybody with a minimum-wage job knows how to make money. Volume is a pretty big difference.
- ErrantX 16y agoThey are earning, which is a completely different thing. If it is easier to parse replace money with wealth in my original post.
- ryanwaggoner 16y agoIn the context of "how to make a lot of money in a short time period", volume is pretty much the key differentiator.
- ErrantX 16y agoThats exactly what I mean. Jason may or may not have a million - but he understands how to make wealth. This is possible to scale to meet the timeline as required.
- runT1ME 16y agowhat? It means everything. Selling lemonade from a stand can be profitable, but the skills required for that to be successful in no way transfer to running a company that sells to every grocery store in america.
- ErrantX 16y agoThose are just the two extremes; the effort required to scale from one to the other is probably a bit too steep in that case. But if you read the post a lot of the same skills are there.
- Sukotto 16y agoInteresting you should mention that. In this talk[1], Gary Vaynerchuk describes how he started a Lemonade business, hired all his friends to run the stands, and used the skills he developed doing that (and selling trading cards at the mall) to build his family's little liquor store into "WineLibrary.com" a 60M/yr business.
