What do you all think about a worker asking their boss for a loan and requesting that it be deducted from their salary little by little? Would you do it or not? 🤣.


I met a serious confusion that almost damaged me completely. My retail store started with less than 100k daily sales. I worked hard to push the sales to 100k. Then to 150k. And in one year, I have pushed the sales to 500k per day. As soon as this happened, I got a very sweet deal. The deal? Another crazy location. Very spacious and tempting. The sweetest part of the deal was that there was no pharmacy or supermarket in that area. None at all. "Sam, this is the best deal for you.... Just take it." Serious maths going on... left and right in my head. "You're currently doing 500k where you are now. If you get this one, push it to another 500k..." "That's 1m sales daily." Oh boy...! A lot of sleepless nights about this. The money was there to take the place and furnish it. But... I gave up on the location. I didn't take it. "Why?" I will tell you. But before answering your curiosity, let me tell you something crazier. I pushed that business to 750k. Pushed further, and it hit 1m And soon, 1.5m became a reality. And then to 2m. To 2.5m We've crossed 3m+ sales daily mark already. That's not all. We've been able to purchase a property directly opposite this same business, where we aim to build a mall. Everything I'm telling you happened just 2 years after rejecting that sweet deal. Yeah. Scary, I know. Now let's go back to your curiosity. "Tell us... Why didn't you take the place?" Again, hold on a bit... And let's fast forward to the business two years later after rejecting the place: Competition has grown seriously around this business. So, it's simple: I didn't take the location because I considered it a distraction. I knew it was a distraction because I had a vision, which was clear in my plan. And the vision was to own something massive that people would drive all the way to patronize. Which was my saving grace. Now let's go back. What would have happened if I had taken on the other location? 1 Divided attention 2. More stress 3. And distraction. Frustration may also set in. Remember... The business was just one year then, and there was no way I would have harnessed the full potential of the business in just one year. No way. Now let me tell you... Running a business is like driving on the highway. Any slight distraction can crash you. So... Have a plan. Have a vision. Set something to remind you of your vision. And follow it strictly. Also... This is to tell you not to scale too soon. Harness the full potential of your business before scaling. That's when scaling makes sense. . . . As Always... I'm The Mad Profit Guy.
