The New WeWork, How to Make $10M In 3 Months, and More

**Sam Parr** (0:00)
All right, there's this amazing book called Getting Everything You Can Out Of All You've Got. I read it a few years ago and it changed my life.
And the reason I loved it was because it basically talks about how to get and make more money using things that you already have.
Coincidentally, today's podcast is brought to you by Business Made Simple. It's a podcast by Donald Miller, who I'm gonna tell you about in a second, but he has this amazing episode that's all related to this book and the things that I learned in this book. It's called How To Make Money With What You Already Have. It's an incredible episode. It talks about all the stuff that I learned in this book. The host is Donald Miller. I didn't know who Donald Miller was up until recently, but over the last 12 months, this is totally by coincidence. It was all separate people. They said, you have to check out Donald Miller. He's amazing. So I'm happy that he's part of HubSpot's podcast network. You can check it out, Business Made Simple Podcast. It's where he coaches you on how to build your business like an airplane, where the cockpit is your leadership, the body is your overhead, the right engine is your marketing, the left engine is your sales. You have to check it out. This guy's amazing. It's called Business Made Simple with Donald Miller.
And his verification is for $100 million liquid plus.
And so the guy has over $100 million. And he did it all through two or three of these apps. And I believe with close to no employees. And he did it over around like eight or 10 years.

What up?
They told us to do intros now of the podcast. So this is My First Million, the podcast where we tell you 100 good ideas, half are good, half are bad, but it's on you to figure out which ones. This is My First Million, where I make fun of Sam about how he talks, he makes fun of me about how I look, and in between, we squeeze in a few business ideas. Let's see, what else? What else we got for him?

**Sam Parr** (1:48)
And supposedly, we're supposed to be successful people, so it's like the reviews people say, they say, it's kind of like we're just sitting at a bar with a bunch of our successful friends, dare I say, I hate this word, multi-millionaire friends, and just hear what they talk about, but that...

**Shaan Puri** (2:07)
Just a couple of deca-millionaires hanging out on the bond. Dude, yeah, how are we supposed to brag about that?
You know, what I learned from my last successful venture, I now take those learnings to the podcast.

**Sam Parr** (2:24)
Can I just say that, regardless of the deca-millionaire nonsense, I did something a few weeks ago that I think was amazing. I bought a $60 tattoo gun on Amazon, and I let my wife give me a hand tattoo instead of wearing a wedding ring.
Totally worth it.

**Shaan Puri** (2:45)
Let me be the judge. Can you bring that a little closer here? What is it?

**Sam Parr** (2:49)
It's just an X.
Can you see it? Is it right?

**Shaan Puri** (2:53)
Like an ad that's not focusing. OK, it's an X like, you know, it's an infected X, but it's an X. You know, like where something was there, then it's like dead. And now you've like put an X there. That's kind of the vibe you're going for or what?

**Sam Parr** (3:05)
Yeah. Or like, you know, triple X on like a moonshine whiskey jug.
Yeah. Something like that.

**Shaan Puri** (3:13)
And she wanted to do this or you want to do this? She seems more sensible than you.

**Sam Parr** (3:17)
So I don't know how she didn't want to do this.
I just said, Sarah, I bought this tattoo. Go ahead, sit down right now or otherwise I'm just going to do it myself.

**Shaan Puri** (3:24)
OK, threats.

**Sam Parr** (3:25)
And I handed her an orange.

**Shaan Puri** (3:26)
Change, rage and threats.

**Sam Parr** (3:28)
Yeah. Like literally, I set it up within two minutes it was done. I handed her an orange. I go right next on that orange.
Great. I'll do that on my fist.

**Shaan Puri** (3:36)
People always ask us, what's the secret to being a Deca millionaire? And we tell them.
It's threats.
You've got to threaten your business partners, your marital partners. You've got to threaten all your partners. Actually, Sam, you kind of do use this sort of like, I wouldn't call it threat, but as they say, it's always sunny. It's the implication of danger. I feel like you do use this, the implication of things going wrong. Am I right about that?
