If you have a 9-5 job, you’re being scammed.
That’s right, I said it.
You are being robbed of your time and get a tiny paycheck as if it’s fair compensation in return.
Spoiler alert: it isn’t
As an employee you’re one of two types:
The poorly paid indentured servant
The slightly higher paid in-debt servant (if you went to college)
Both of these paths will have you spending 40-50 hours/week away from the people you love most for almost all of your adult life.
Is that really how you want to live?
What if I told you there is a third option…
(No, I'm not about to pitch you a get-rich quick scheme)
I'm talking about the exact one-person business model I used to escape the rat race and buy my freedom back (almost 5 years ago now).
The green line looks a whole lot better than the other three doesn’t it?
(I didn’t make this cool graph, I stole it and added the green line)
About me:
I spent the last decade building multiple e-commerce businesses and working as an Aerospace Engineer.
In 2020, I quit that job and sold one of my businesses.
Now, I write this newsletter and continue to operate the rest.
I don’t have any employees (never have) and pride myself on operating as a one-man show.
My one-person business model features a bunch of mini-businesses that all compliment and depend on each other.
At the core are product based businesses like:
A foundational high-margin Amazon FBA business (mainly non-fiction books)
A LEGO investment business (yes, the toy)
One step up from those is:
1:1 private consulting
And above all of those is a content business that documents the operation and results of all of the aforementioned mini-businesses using:
This newsletter
Social media (X, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube)
Some of those focus on short-term profit, while others focus on long-term capital growth and preservation.
There a million different business models, this is just the one I found works best for beginners.
And trust me… I’ve tried everything.
Here are some results from people who started from nothing and used what I write about here to create their own product based business:
