In this video we go over my product failures.
1
2
00:00:03,650 --> 00:00:05,360
This is a YouTube video that I made.
2
3
00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:07,990
So if you are not subscribed to my YouTube channel you should be.

4
00:00:08,030 --> 00:00:09,120
Click the link down there.
4
5
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:11,290
But so it might sound a little YouTube-y.
5
6
00:00:11,750 --> 00:00:16,490
But I apologize for that but really pay attention because these are my first seven products that I failed
6
7
00:00:16,730 --> 00:00:18,470
and the lessons that I learned from them.
7
8
00:00:18,470 --> 00:00:26,420
So I hope that you guys avoid running into these failures and you have one failed product or 0 hopefully
8
9
00:00:26,420 --> 00:00:28,730
because we're laying it all out here.
9
10
00:00:28,730 --> 00:00:30,230
You should be able to validate demand.
10
11
00:00:30,230 --> 00:00:32,540
I knew no ways before I got started.
11
12
00:00:32,540 --> 00:00:34,220
I was just guessing and taking action.
12
13
00:00:34,220 --> 00:00:41,580
But hey the action got me here so...enjoy. The absolute most important thing on Amazon.
13
14
00:00:41,660 --> 00:00:44,040
Is your product selection going into the right market.
14
15
00:00:44,060 --> 00:00:49,850
So let's take a look at all of my failures so that you can see the lessons that I've learned of what
15
16
00:00:49,850 --> 00:00:51,030
does not work.
16
17
00:00:51,110 --> 00:00:56,260
And I'll go over a couple of that people have sent me that know where they've run into their own issues.
17
18
00:00:56,270 --> 00:01:02,350
But before we get to that I need to address some haters because people have been complaining lately
18
19
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:08,090
so I got one claim someone calling me a scam artist saying that I did not hang out with Gary Vaynerchuk
19
20
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:14,290
and I did not do six million in sales so all right here we'll put there's a screenshot of my sales.
20
21
00:01:14,300 --> 00:01:16,790
I've also done many interviews I've been on Manny Coates,
21
22
00:01:16,780 --> 00:01:24,360
Brian Burke, I've been on Startup Bros. I'll link that in the description. There is me talking and taking
22
23
00:01:24,380 --> 00:01:26,670
a selfie with Gary Vaynerchuk.
23
24
00:01:28,130 --> 00:01:30,810
I was on the Daily Vee 367.
24
25
00:01:30,950 --> 00:01:37,910
And there is also a video of me frolicking in a snowman suit in VaynerMedia office.
25
26
00:01:38,150 --> 00:01:41,030
So if that's not enough proof for you.
26
27
00:01:41,420 --> 00:01:43,180
Well I don't know what.
27
28
00:01:43,490 --> 00:01:44,150
What else do you want.
28
29
00:01:44,390 --> 00:01:44,630
All right.
29
30
00:01:44,660 --> 00:01:45,610
So let's get to it.
30
31
00:01:45,620 --> 00:01:50,060
And I'm going to show you guys the products that I have failed on and the lessons that I learned from
31
32
00:01:50,060 --> 00:01:50,420
them.
32
33
00:01:50,420 --> 00:01:55,670
Before we get to that video make sure you hit subscribe down there because I'm going to be releasing
33
34
00:01:55,670 --> 00:01:57,800
that video of me with Gary V at Vaynermedia.
34
35
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:03,680
What I learned from the head of each department the digital landscape is changing so fast and I'm really
35
36
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:07,460
excited to share that information with you guys and make sure you hit that bell because that tells you
36
37
00:02:07,460 --> 00:02:11,830
when I released the new videos my entire strategy has changed.
37
38
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:13,860
I'm going to be more vulnerable and open.
38
39
00:02:14,020 --> 00:02:19,490
I'm going to be posting every other day or is that as much as I possibly can.
39
40
00:02:19,490 --> 00:02:22,720
And guess what I'm going to be giving it all away for free.
40
41
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:26,970
You're not going to see me charge for information like a lot of people do.
41
42
00:02:26,990 --> 00:02:32,960
Gary told me to just just just be honest and give everything I have away for free so I'm going to do
42
43
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:33,890
that.
43
44
00:02:33,920 --> 00:02:38,960
I know that the universe will pay me back some way in the future and if it doesn't well at least I get
44
45
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:40,190
to help thousands of people.
45
46
00:02:40,190 --> 00:02:41,560
Here is the first product.
46
47
00:02:41,570 --> 00:02:43,340
It was LED strip lights.
47
48
00:02:43,340 --> 00:02:45,520
The first one that I ever tried.
48
49
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:47,220
I got these waterproof ones.
49
50
00:02:47,270 --> 00:02:52,010
But what's different about these than the other ones these are individually programmable.
50
51
00:02:52,010 --> 00:02:53,120
Well what does that mean.
51
52
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:57,820
Well it means that you need a microcontroller to power them.
52
53
00:02:57,950 --> 00:03:01,470
So something like this and you have to program them yourself.
53
54
00:03:01,580 --> 00:03:09,020
Well this was great for me and inventor but not many people who are inventors like me why did this product
54
55
00:03:09,020 --> 00:03:09,470
fail.
55
56
00:03:09,470 --> 00:03:13,180
Well if we take a look over here at Jungle Scout the sales are just really low.
56
57
00:03:13,190 --> 00:03:18,620
Look there's one guy who's doing 201 sales a month but the rest of that there's just barely
57
58
00:03:18,620 --> 00:03:20,520
trickling in.
58
59
00:03:20,630 --> 00:03:25,980
And so now those number one low sales. Number two I wasn't different guys.
59
60
00:03:26,030 --> 00:03:32,030
I did nothing new and that's what a lot of people when they start out they are just doing absolutely
60
61
00:03:32,030 --> 00:03:34,340
no means of differentiation.
61
62
00:03:34,340 --> 00:03:40,580
So when asked the question with all these other ones have reviews why would people buy yours over the
62
63
00:03:40,580 --> 00:03:41,830
other product.
63
64
00:03:41,870 --> 00:03:43,560
I didn't have an answer to that.
64
65
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,030
And then this comes in at number three.
65
66
00:03:46,130 --> 00:03:53,320
I was competing against direct Chinese sellers so if they're going to beat me on price they have the
66
67
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:56,400
same product as me and more reviews.
67
68
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:58,350
Nobody's gonna buy my stuff.
68
69
00:03:58,630 --> 00:03:59,970
It's just basic common sense.
69
70
00:03:59,980 --> 00:04:04,630
So you always have to find a way to differentiate in that marketing pitch.
70
71
00:04:04,630 --> 00:04:05,530
I know I could.
71
72
00:04:05,530 --> 00:04:11,050
I'll make a video in the future about how I would go about and actually could make it in this market.
72
73
00:04:11,050 --> 00:04:13,390
But that's not for now we're just looking at what went wrong.
73
74
00:04:13,690 --> 00:04:16,680
So on to the next product.
74
75
00:04:16,870 --> 00:04:20,290
But I did not completely lose because check it out.
75
76
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:25,270
Alexa trigger a white board rainbow.
76
77
00:04:26,100 --> 00:04:28,810
There are cool things that came from it.
77
78
00:04:28,820 --> 00:04:33,000
Product number two in my search the 80-20 coffee mug.
78
79
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:38,160
A lot of entrepreneurs know about the 80-20 principle in a lot of them drink coffee.
79
80
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,130
So logically I thought this would be a hit on Amazon.
80
81
00:04:41,130 --> 00:04:43,740
No I was completely wrong.
81
82
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:49,680
Perhaps I now with my knowledge I could go make this successful on Facebook advertising targeting the
82
83
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:50,420
right people.
83
84
00:04:50,430 --> 00:04:55,550
Perhaps the authors of the 80-20 books as well as Tim Ferriss movies and what not.
84
85
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:58,580
Anyways let me tell you why this failed.
85
86
00:04:58,590 --> 00:05:04,110
Most people looking for coffee mugs or looking for something funny to give as a gift to somebody else.
86
87
00:05:04,140 --> 00:05:07,370
So I wasn't able to rank with that because I had my conversion rates.
87
88
00:05:07,410 --> 00:05:11,340
If you don't know what 80-20 principle is you're not going to buy this product.
88
89
00:05:11,340 --> 00:05:17,010
And then I wasn't able to rank for they were the keyword 80-20 because Amazon thought it was books and
89
90
00:05:17,250 --> 00:05:24,030
I was doing PPC and I just couldn't even get it to show me I could do some hacks to get it to rank for
90
91
00:05:24,030 --> 00:05:28,980
that keyword and we could see if I convert but there were conversion rate might be extremely low still
91
92
00:05:29,010 --> 00:05:34,880
because most people looking for 80-20 are looking for books and they're are just introduced to the rule.
92
93
00:05:34,890 --> 00:05:41,730
Also I wasn't able to rank for the keywords gifts for entrepreneur or entrepreneur gifts because people
93
94
00:05:41,730 --> 00:05:44,220
didn't know what the 80-20 principles yet again.
94
95
00:05:44,250 --> 00:05:50,430
So even though the lunch partner might like it 80-20 and whatever pastor had Amazon's based off stats
95
96
00:05:50,610 --> 00:05:51,020
didn't work.
96
97
00:05:51,030 --> 00:05:53,130
So what's the overall lesson learned from this?
97
98
00:05:53,130 --> 00:05:57,900
Don't make a new innovative niche product and try to launch it on Amazon.
98
99
00:05:57,900 --> 00:05:58,950
It's not going to work.
99
100
00:05:59,010 --> 00:06:04,120
Whatever you're launching on Amazon it has to make logical sense for that keyword.
100
101
00:06:04,170 --> 00:06:07,140
When people type in this keyword and they see your product.
101
102
00:06:07,140 --> 00:06:07,440
Yes.
102
103
00:06:07,470 --> 00:06:12,000
So for example let's say we were going to launch a new funny coffee mug.
103
104
00:06:12,210 --> 00:06:15,480
One of them that I've seen as successful is a poop coffee mug.
104
105
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,550
They made a brand new mold and it's in the side.
105
106
00:06:18,630 --> 00:06:21,090
It looks like poop and coffee mug.
106
107
00:06:21,090 --> 00:06:26,430
That's successful because people are looking for funny coffee mugs.
107
108
00:06:26,430 --> 00:06:32,300
It's appealable to the masses so you're able to rank and convert on those keywords.
108
109
00:06:32,310 --> 00:06:37,660
So if you're going to be innovative on Amazon you have to be innovative within this square.
109
110
00:06:37,770 --> 00:06:43,230
If you want to be completely innovative and make niche products you've got to go to Shopify and Facebook
110
111
00:06:43,260 --> 00:06:47,860
and go on social to introduce them to a new concept that they will love.
111
112
00:06:47,970 --> 00:06:54,660
But you're not going to be introducing people to new concepts on Amazon unless it's through this keyword
112
113
00:06:54,660 --> 00:06:58,210
way that it's what they're looking for but it's brand new.
113
114
00:06:58,210 --> 00:07:00,040
So and they understand it.
114
115
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:05,160
So take that into account and we'll see some other mistakes that I made and they took me awhile to learn
115
116
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:05,740
this lesson.
116
117
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:06,440
Oh.
117
118
00:07:06,540 --> 00:07:10,320
Another reason why this failed is I had a bad hand model.
118
119
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:14,280
You need to get some sexy hands if you're going to use a hand model.
119
120
00:07:14,430 --> 00:07:15,000
All right.
120
121
00:07:15,020 --> 00:07:21,720
So here is the next one I was like this put the 80 20 but let's put it on a wrist band think smarter
121
122
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:22,960
not harder.
122
123
00:07:22,970 --> 00:07:23,240
Yeah.
123
124
00:07:23,270 --> 00:07:25,990
So I launched this at about the same time.
124
125
00:07:26,010 --> 00:07:27,680
But same thing.
125
126
00:07:27,830 --> 00:07:28,140
OK.
126
127
00:07:28,140 --> 00:07:34,440
People were looking for motivational wristbands and gifts for entrepreneurs and everything but it just
127
128
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:36,180
didn't match with that search volume.
128
129
00:07:36,180 --> 00:07:37,560
And people didn't know what it was.
129
130
00:07:37,590 --> 00:07:42,290
So it's the same D idea as the last coffee mug.
130
131
00:07:42,420 --> 00:07:45,390
But I was on to something more because there was margin.
131
132
00:07:45,450 --> 00:07:46,970
These wrist bands did kind of work.
132
133
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:51,750
So I'll show you then what the next product is not going to go over the lessons because the same as
133
134
00:07:51,750 --> 00:07:55,500
the last one OK so I learned my lessons.
134
135
00:07:55,540 --> 00:07:57,500
You got to go where the search volume is.
135
136
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:04,480
So I went into Serenity Prayer bracelets because I thought OK let's go into this because there
136
137
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:10,410
is search volume for the words 'Serenity Prayer' and let me go in and make a bracelet for that because
137
138
00:08:10,420 --> 00:08:11,660
there are people buying bracelets.
138
139
00:08:11,650 --> 00:08:13,770
with Serenity payer and I can make something different
139
140
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:17,300
So I did that and we would look at it here.
140
141
00:08:17,470 --> 00:08:21,660
If we pull up the Jungle Scout in the numbers they don't look very great here.
141
142
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:22,410
OK.
142
143
00:08:22,540 --> 00:08:29,480
But when you pull up the Viral Launch market intelligence the numbers actually look quite a bit better.
143
144
00:08:29,500 --> 00:08:33,270
The numbers actually look better here because...
144
145
00:08:33,310 --> 00:08:39,310
Ok I see some monthly revenue here let's go over we need to look revenue last year that got eighty six
145
146
00:08:39,310 --> 00:08:40,350
thousand thirty.
146
147
00:08:40,420 --> 00:08:41,740
So there was some number here.
147
148
00:08:41,740 --> 00:08:47,620
But you know at the end of the day guys let me just be honest here was my product design wasn't very
148
149
00:08:47,620 --> 00:08:48,890
good.
149
150
00:08:48,950 --> 00:08:52,580
That was just the truth and it wasn't a good quality when I picked it up.
150
151
00:08:52,670 --> 00:08:58,440
It didn't make me smile and be excited it was more of a "All right".
151
152
00:08:58,730 --> 00:09:02,060
It's got to be a homerun for it to work in my opinion.
152
153
00:09:02,060 --> 00:09:04,070
So this did not work.
153
154
00:09:04,100 --> 00:09:05,090
Another failure.
154
155
00:09:05,150 --> 00:09:07,260
So I said "Screw it".
155
156
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:08,710
This is failure number four.
156
157
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:10,170
But I did not give up.
157
158
00:09:10,190 --> 00:09:16,850
I kept going guys stick with it because you're going to see how this progression of my lesson learning
158
159
00:09:17,180 --> 00:09:24,200
when failure failure failure failure seven failures to six million dollars because I never gave up and
159
160
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:26,110
I learned lessons all along the way.
160
161
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:34,460
So now on to the next one... Whoa man, these are crazy glasses.
161
162
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:34,770
Yeah.
162
163
00:09:34,790 --> 00:09:37,110
So this was my next failure.
163
164
00:09:37,660 --> 00:09:43,330
And these glasses were... the Jungle Scout when I ran the web app.
164
165
00:09:43,330 --> 00:09:44,960
It looked like it was gonna be a killer.
165
166
00:09:45,010 --> 00:09:48,820
It was saying it was selling roughly two thousand per month.
166
167
00:09:48,820 --> 00:09:50,320
So it was just gonna be a killer.
167
168
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:55,000
I got a good a pretty good price on them for about four bucks and they're selling for thirty dollars.
168
169
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:59,440
But it turns out there were all the sales were going to one main person.
169
170
00:09:59,440 --> 00:09:59,840
OK.
170
171
00:09:59,980 --> 00:10:02,080
And that was a brand.
171
172
00:10:02,230 --> 00:10:07,710
It was selling just based off of the brand and the brand name that they had made so...
172
173
00:10:07,750 --> 00:10:09,120
And Jungle Scout was wrong.
173
174
00:10:09,130 --> 00:10:10,690
It said it was selling two thousand a month.
174
175
00:10:10,690 --> 00:10:15,520
It was actually only selling about maybe one hundred.
175
176
00:10:15,530 --> 00:10:20,120
And then the rest of the competitors maybe once or twice a week.
176
177
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:24,980
So they just there wasn't the volume that it promised to sell.
177
178
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:30,560
And so now I literally have hundreds of these in my house.
178
179
00:10:30,560 --> 00:10:38,730
So if anybody wants some, leave a comment. I'll send you all of them that you want. Also send out wristbands,
179
180
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:40,540
all sorts of other stuff.
180
181
00:10:40,540 --> 00:10:41,080
All right.
181
182
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,150
So what lessons did I learn from this?
182
183
00:10:43,150 --> 00:10:51,250
Well number one, you've got to check out Jungle Scout and make sure that the products are evenly distributed
183
184
00:10:51,250 --> 00:10:55,980
sales because if it's all focused on one brand, then it's gonna be hard to steal those.
184
185
00:10:55,990 --> 00:11:00,850
They might be driving external traffic or might just be a pure brand buy and you can't compete with
185
186
00:11:00,850 --> 00:11:01,440
them.
186
187
00:11:01,450 --> 00:11:06,970
And I also learned that you need to check and make sure that jungle Scout actually right. Do the 999 trick,
187
188
00:11:06,970 --> 00:11:13,360
check out Viral Launch - their tool is better at predicting sales than jungle Scout is because
188
189
00:11:13,490 --> 00:11:14,860
it said it was doing two thousand a month.
189
190
00:11:14,890 --> 00:11:16,560
It was not at all.
190
191
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:18,450
So it ended up just being a giant mess.
191
192
00:11:18,460 --> 00:11:19,440
I had no way...
192
193
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:24,970
So I actually did do something right here by customizing and getting these metal frames because the
193
194
00:11:24,970 --> 00:11:26,380
rest of them were plastic.
194
195
00:11:26,380 --> 00:11:27,890
So this is unique and everything.
195
196
00:11:27,940 --> 00:11:29,220
But guess what?
196
197
00:11:29,710 --> 00:11:33,280
You've also got to make sure not only is your product different but is it good?
197
198
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:35,080
Is it good quality?
198
199
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:40,390
So people are using this for raves and parties and you want to know one problem? When people are jumping
199
200
00:11:40,390 --> 00:11:43,540
up and down...
200
201
00:11:43,900 --> 00:11:46,510
It'd be nice if the classes stayed on their head.
201
202
00:11:46,510 --> 00:11:48,340
The competitors stayed on their head.
202
203
00:11:48,340 --> 00:11:49,430
These don't.
203
204
00:11:49,450 --> 00:11:54,870
So now I'm just stuck with these hippie Kaleidoscope glasses and they're great.
204
205
00:11:54,910 --> 00:11:57,900
But you also can't walk with them on.
205
206
00:11:57,970 --> 00:11:59,190
It's very disorientating.
206
207
00:11:59,190 --> 00:12:01,180
And the competitors you could walk with them on.
207
208
00:12:01,450 --> 00:12:03,290
So that's where I failed.
208
209
00:12:03,370 --> 00:12:09,220
But I also I'll show you the other ones that I failed too. But I was getting closer with these.
209
210
00:12:09,250 --> 00:12:12,310
So how do you solve the problem of these falling off of your head?
210
211
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:13,960
Well you get goggles.
211
212
00:12:13,990 --> 00:12:16,660
So we got these goggles going now.
212
213
00:12:16,750 --> 00:12:19,470
And so these were actually worked a lot better.
213
214
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:26,720
And I was pretty proud of the quality of these but I had no form of differentiation yet again.
214
215
00:12:26,860 --> 00:12:32,500
The Chinese came in and I'll show you that on the computer. Checking out right here you can see some
215
216
00:12:32,500 --> 00:12:35,370
of these are even down in the seven dollars after fees.
216
217
00:12:35,410 --> 00:12:37,580
There's just no money to be made here.
217
218
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:39,240
But they just drove the price down.
218
219
00:12:39,250 --> 00:12:42,340
I could not compete on price alone.
219
220
00:12:42,340 --> 00:12:45,140
I had no form of differentiation.
220
221
00:12:45,250 --> 00:12:48,050
So yet again I'm going to lose.
221
222
00:12:48,060 --> 00:12:49,480
That's that's what it comes down to.
222
223
00:12:49,700 --> 00:12:53,680
Whoa, alright! Now we've differentiated.
223
224
00:12:53,680 --> 00:12:54,370
That's right.
224
225
00:12:54,370 --> 00:12:58,700
We're the only ones out there with the furry ones.
225
226
00:12:58,700 --> 00:13:03,440
Guys we've got this. But there is one problem.
226
227
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:08,350
There's going to be people wearing these and they're gonna be dancing.
227
228
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:12,980
They're going to be all hot and stuff and put it on and off and then...
228
229
00:13:13,460 --> 00:13:14,330
Oh no.
229
230
00:13:14,330 --> 00:13:21,100
The fur the fur! It just falls off.
230
231
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:22,170
It gets in your mouth.
231
232
00:13:22,170 --> 00:13:24,230
It gets in your nose.
232
233
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:25,380
Chicks ain't gonna deal with that.
233
234
00:13:25,380 --> 00:13:26,820
It's all over the camera now.
234
235
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:35,240
So like we've said you gotta have you gotta find the where there's these search volume so there was
235
236
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:42,260
with the kaleidoscope search term. Kaleidoscope goggles or rave goggles and stuff.
236
237
00:13:42,350 --> 00:13:43,690
So I could rank for that.
237
238
00:13:43,700 --> 00:13:49,970
It looked cool and everything but did not get good reviews because this fur is falling off all the time.
238
239
00:13:50,180 --> 00:13:52,870
This product was yet another failure.
239
240
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:56,920
But I saw this long path of failures.
240
241
00:13:56,930 --> 00:14:02,990
I had sick four different glasses that failed, these failed my wristbands failed, my coffee mug failed
241
242
00:14:02,990 --> 00:14:06,950
my lights failed. You know just feeling about ready to give up.
242
243
00:14:07,970 --> 00:14:14,600
But there was a prevailing that came from this all. So I've had all of these failures but I've learned
243
244
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:16,760
a lot of lessons along the way.
244
245
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:21,530
You need to find something with high search volume you need to find somewhere where you can innovate
245
246
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:23,450
and make something new and unique.
246
247
00:14:23,570 --> 00:14:28,020
But within a small square so you have to innovate within what people want.
247
248
00:14:28,050 --> 00:14:29,320
OK great.
248
249
00:14:29,330 --> 00:14:37,130
Now you have to make sure that you have the best product and you need to have that uniqueness, that
249
250
00:14:37,130 --> 00:14:43,070
competitive edge so that you can price higher than the others and not just get into a price war.
250
251
00:14:43,070 --> 00:14:46,650
So there's a lot of factors that need to go into account here.
251
252
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:52,920
But I finally got one scenario that laid out: the solar eclipse for 2017.
252
253
00:14:52,940 --> 00:14:55,520
Took all those lessons that I learned and now was OK.
253
254
00:14:55,550 --> 00:14:59,530
I'm going to source the best glasses to make a whole new product.
254
255
00:14:59,540 --> 00:15:03,200
I'm going to innovate and make a new eclipse viewer that nobody's ever done before.
255
256
00:15:03,260 --> 00:15:09,740
I'm going to completely take over the whole market in every aspect and kill it and I'm going to make
256
257
00:15:09,740 --> 00:15:14,100
another video on that because I learned so many lessons from that.
257
258
00:15:14,150 --> 00:15:19,470
But here is what came from it.
258
259
00:15:20,030 --> 00:15:25,880
I found lenses that were safe to view the eclipse with and I put them into these product that I had
259
260
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:26,960
from the past.
260
261
00:15:26,990 --> 00:15:33,590
So all of my failures culminated and I did hundreds and hundreds of thousands of dollars in these and
261
262
00:15:33,590 --> 00:15:40,040
I'm so proud of it because it just shows that if you keep pushing and trying and learning from your
262
263
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:43,500
mistakes and you never give up you will achieve.
263
264
00:15:43,700 --> 00:15:51,050
And I did and these are the exact glasses that I wore for the eclipse and it was best one of
264
265
00:15:51,050 --> 00:15:52,760
the top experiences in my life.
265
266
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:58,130
I realized that we didn't get to why I see a lot of other people failing so I'm going to make a different
266
267
00:15:58,130 --> 00:16:00,740
video about that in the future.
267
268
00:16:00,740 --> 00:16:07,730
And I've got a great video that's taken me a lot of time but it explains my entire journey as an entrepreneur
268
269
00:16:08,060 --> 00:16:12,520
and of the solar eclipse and going on from here out.
269
270
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:18,080
So make sure that you're subscribed to the channel there and then hit that bell so you're notified of the
270
271
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:18,820
new content.
271
272
00:16:18,830 --> 00:16:20,810
We're going to be releasing a lot more.
272
273
00:16:20,810 --> 00:16:27,920
And could you please comment below and let me know what failures you've had as an entrepreneur or with
273
274
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:29,420
products on Amazon.
274
275
00:16:29,420 --> 00:16:38,240
I think by sharing the failures and the perseverance that we all go through, more people will be encouraged
275
276
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:46,400
to start or to continue to go because everybody's always posting about their what went awesome and not
276
277
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:52,310
many people are posting about their failures and it's kind of like the news is always talking about
277
278
00:16:52,310 --> 00:16:55,500
negativity and never about the positivity.
278
279
00:16:55,500 --> 00:17:00,410
This is like the opposite wherever you talk about the positive but come on there's lessons learned from
279
280
00:17:00,410 --> 00:17:02,070
all of these failures.
280
281
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:06,050
So please share and below. I comment and respond to everything.
281
282
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:10,760
So I look forward to hearing that and seeing you guys next time.
