In February 2024, @Patrice Moore was making $0/month. She’d just quit her job and had no audience, offer or skill. Fast forward 6 months, she’s a Skool Games Winner who’s making over $30k/month. I caught up with Patrice when she was in Vegas for the Winner’s Hormozi Mastermind to find out: - The exact step-by-step blueprint of how she did it - A month-by-month breakdown of her income on the way to 30k/month - And the daily routines/habits she used to get there Check it out! 👇🏼

Okay, I’ll admit it—we haven’t quite hit $200k yet. But if we stay on track, we will! This isn’t my first business, and it’s definitely not my top sales month (I once made $35k in ecom), but this has been the wildest and toughest ride so far. While I’m grateful for everything I’ve learned, I wouldn’t recommend doing it exactly this way. My story is meant to inspire. If a teenager can open a dessert-style restaurant/activity center with less than $10k, no loans, no credit, and a two-week-old business idea—all while working another job—then so can you. Here’s how it went down: This wasn’t my first rodeo. I got into ecom at 16 during COVID, sold blue light glasses, and scaled to $35k/month with one product and one ad. But being young and distracted, I shut the business down after I hit my first problem—and spent all my money when the world opened up. Still, that experience lit a fire in me for entrepreneurship, and I knew I never wanted to work for anyone else again. Fast forward—I started a custom t-shirt business at local fairs, and while preparing for another fair, my girlfriend and I discovered freeze-dried candy. It was a hit, so we bought a freeze dryer and sold candy at the fair, making just under $10k in four days. People kept asking if we had a storefront. After hearing that enough times, we thought, "Why not?" Despite a realtor telling us we needed $80-100k and years of experience, we said, “Screw that!” and signed a lease eight days later. We had less than $10k, no loans, no credit, and barely any experience. But we pitched our landlords on our vision and somehow made it work. We turned an old church into a dessert lounge and kitchen and added viral treats like rolled ice cream. Every day brought a new problem, but when you have no choice, you figure it out. We built up hype on social media, quit our jobs, and never looked back. It’s been almost a year, and while we’re still going strong, I’ve realized the restaurant business isn’t for me. It’s not as scalable as I’d like, and it’s a grind! But the lessons have been invaluable—product creation, management, advertising, customer relationships, and, most importantly, how to really work hard.

I spoke with @Brendon Hayes a mentor in our community doing ~$25k pm through his online business, that I'm incredibly thankful to have! 🙏 *video in comments* I asked him a few questions, directed at providing some value to those of you on the journey to financial, time, and location freedom. To be specific, this is geared toward those of you looking to hit the dream number of $10k pm! Here's what Brendon had to say! 🔥 Why did he get into entrepreneurship? - Brendon got into the game of entrepreneurship for what he calls "total freedom" (which he defines as financial, time, and location freedom). 💰⏰🏝️ His 3 lesson for those of you looking to "break loose" are: 1. Relationships mean everything! 🏆 (I couldn't agree with this more! @Alex Hormozi himself says "make a sale, to get a customer" your relationships will get you further than you can even imagine!) 2. "Don't be desperate, be strategic" 📈 (Again, I agree! It took me a long time to learn patience! Too many people nowadays want to make money NOW! But the truth is, the fastest way to build, isn't normally the best, and tallest (think MRR) to build!) 3. "Learn when to stop talking" 🗣️❌ (AKA: STFU! From what I have learned, this applies both in general, by assuming you can learn something from everyone, as well as in sales! The best product developers & sales people often don't talk a lot! They are EXCELLENT at listening to their avatars needs, and pain points! Don't be an arrogant idiot!) If you are trying to hit 10k pm: 💸 - Brendon recommends finding, and "attaching yourself to a mentor" (which is someone who has been there, and accomplished what you are looking to achieve!) - He also recommends: "putting actions behind whatever you are learning from them" (which from what I've heard first hand from many of them, makes them want to KEEP helping you!) - He says if you are "learning and not putting actions behind it, you're getting nowhere" Which might sound obvious, but so many of you listen, maybe jot down a few notes, and then DONT IMPLEMENT IT! I think Alex would agree with me here, that this isn't even learning! LEARNING = SAME SITUATION DIFFERENT BEHAVIOR!

I know there are some Skoolers out there pushing for the big 7. Here are 3 things that will speed up the process: 1.Make it habit to spend 20 seconds longer on a comment. Ask your self what am I actually trying to say here. This will make your comment stand out, get more 👍 and lead to connections. 2. Post on the feed. Don't be a pussy and give it a crack! Some fall flat, some do well. You will get better. This is were you will get a lot of 👍 if you reply to comments and ask questions. 3. Make some connections and share the love. The more you like others stuff, the more it will come back around! Definitely helped me! 🙏 PS. If you can get a comment in quick on an admin post, you will bank some 👍 Good luck hope to see you at HQ 🤙

Okay I lied. We have only quite hit $200k yet, because it hasn't quite been a year, but if we stay at the same pace, we'll clear it! This isn't my first business, and it isn't my top sales month (35k in ecom), but it's probably one of my craziest, and definitely my most difficult business success. Although I am incredibly thankful for the opportunity, and everything that I've learned (which was it's main purpose) I don't recommend you do things this exact way. This story is meant more to inspire you on what's possible. If a crazy teen can open a dessert style restaurant/activity center with less than $10k, no loans, no credit, and a 2-week business idea, while working another job, so can you. It's not easy, but it's incredible what you can accomplish when you believe everything is possible. I'll try to stay on topic here, but you'll need a tiny bit of set-up. This wasn't my first business. I got into ecom at 16, because it was covid, and I had NOTHING else to do. I hardly knew anything about business, but I guess I knew just enough to pick a winning product, and got lucky enough to make a converting ad as well. This one product, and one ad scaled my business to $35k per month at it's peak. I sold blue light glasses for $15.99, that all in costed me just over $2 (including shipping). I ran ads, but you can do the math. But like I said, I was young, and dumb, and had other things on my mind (probably sports, friends, and girls). It felt like a game, nothing felt real, and I couldn't spend money at the time anyway. I worked maybe an hr a day, if that. Everything was streamlined, and I only ran one winning ad. (I'll save this for another story, message me or comment if you want me to share it). Anyway, I was super smart, so I decided to close this business down after I hit a problem. Then, did I save my money? Nope. Blew it all once the world opened back up. But I was left with something I could never lose: A completely new outlook on the world, a few skills, and a burning passion for entrepreneurship. This was when I decided that I would never work for someone again, unless it were to save up for my own business.
