Starting point is 00:00:00 How much money have you made in a single day? We're getting right into it. Right into the nitty gritty, right? The most amount of money I've made in a day is a million dollars. I'm telling you, it's easier to make a million dollars in a day or a hundred thousand dollars in a day than it is to try to make it over the span of a year. So nobody was a millionaire in my family. I was the first millionaire in my family.
Starting point is 00:00:18 So they were constantly telling me like every mistake I made, going back to mistakes, it was magnified tenfold because they were like we told you so welcome to the digital social hour i'm here with my co-host Wayne Lewis. What up, what up? And our guest today, Joshua Crisp. How's it going? Good, man. Appreciate it for having me, guys. Absolutely. You flew in today. Yep, from ATX.
Starting point is 00:00:56 ATX. Yep. How much money have you made in a single day? We're getting right into it. Right into the nitty into the knitting right i'm i'm i'm curious because i'm hearing different things so let's just get right into it for the record how much money have you made so um i've got several different businesses the most amount of money i've made in a day is a million dollars um it's actually about several hours so half a day and i
Starting point is 00:01:20 was just telling you outside which is crazy like it's easier to make a little bit of money it's easier to make a lot of money in a short period of time than it is to make a little bit of money over a long period of time. And I remember going from the first milestone being 10k a month, 100k a month, then a million a year. And like I was telling you, it's easier to make a million dollars in a day or $100,000 in a day than it is to try to make it over the span of a year. Well, once you actually figure out what your formula is, it becomes easy. Most people, that's astronomical. Most people won't even make a million dollars their lifetime. Was that through like a Black Friday sale or something?
Starting point is 00:01:52 No, so it was through a promotion. So it was a similar promotion, but just average day, right? And the reason why is because people have limitations on what their capabilities can be. Like, I remember like, okay, if I can make a million in a year, I'm crushing it. But that was still like kind of unrealistic to me because of where I came from and what I was exposed to.
Starting point is 00:02:10 But then as I started to learn and elevate my knowledge and the information that I was learning in marketing, I understood how to do it. So it was through a promotion and it's pretty much like a kettle pot. Like once the steam fills up, the pot overflows and it blows up, right? So it's through a promotion and you do a promotion and you pretty much have a
Starting point is 00:02:27 trigger where the sale drops and when the sale drops use ethical keyword ethical urgency and scarcity a lot of people their offers don't work across their businesses because they have unethical or unrealistic urgency and scarcity right there's only one left there's only ten left this deal is only gonna last till midnight and then you can never get it then there's only one left there's only 10 left this deal is only going to last till midnight and then you can never get it then there's emails two weeks out for the offer at the same thing so building up true urgency and true scarcity um and being ethical around that really really helps and then it has to be an irresistible offer so the components to having a large volume
Starting point is 00:02:59 day or even hour are those three things irresistible offer not what you think is irresistible in terms of how many pieces can I stack and what is this crazy long drawn out number that doesn't make sense. Like you're gonna get this, this, this, and this for $100,000 and for today only, and there's only eight, that's unrealistic. And the marketplace is educated.
Starting point is 00:03:16 They know that's fake. So real irresistible offer, real limited quantity, and a real limited time. That's the three components. Gotcha. And you achieved massive success and a real limited time. That's the three components. Gotcha. And you achieved massive success at a pretty early age. Would you say there was a lot of failure along the way? Oh, absolutely. I made tons of mistakes, tons of mistakes. And here's the thing that I've learned, which a lot of people aren't going to believe, which I believe in, and this is what I go hard on, is that time is more valuable than money, right? And we've always
Starting point is 00:03:43 heard that. However, there's only two ways that you can learn something. You learn through trial and error, or you learn through the trial and error of someone else. And that's the only two ways, right? So when I was starting, I was trying to make my first 100K online, I was naive and I was the prideful type that I'm gonna figure everything out,
Starting point is 00:03:59 I can get all the information on YouTube and podcasts and so on and so forth. And when I was starting out, I didn't have a ton of money. So I had to kind of be that way. But then I realized like I wasn't getting anywhere. I was turning my gears. And I believe my mom always told me this since I was little, that you meet people for a season or a reason. So I was introduced to my first mentor from my wife, now a girlfriend at the time, and he was a business owner. And growing up where I grew up at, I didn't know you could be a business owner and be a normal guy. Like I thought you had to inherit it or be this huge business owner. And I became infatuated with the fact that this guy works for himself and he's this
Starting point is 00:04:34 entrepreneur. I didn't know this stuff existed. So I started to ask him all these questions. So a lot of people were like, well, I know that information changes situations with implementation, but I don't have the money for a mentor. I don't have the money for with implementation but I don't have the money for a mentor I don't have the money for a course I don't have the money for college I don't have the money to invest right you can invest time or you can invest money so if you don't have money you can invest time and if you have money you can invest the money to save the time that's what I believe in so I invested my time because I didn't have the money so I would just ask him everything that I could think of and here's the thing that I've learned about successful people, even to this day,
Starting point is 00:05:07 making multiple eight figures online to this day, this is still true. Successful people will give you breadcrumbs. They won't give you the whole loaf because they value their time. Time's the only thing that you can't replace, recreate, repurchase, or get any, you can't get it back. So they're not going to spend their time with you, especially if you're not at their caliber or their level. So he would give me breadcrumbs and I would take extreme ownership and execution on what he taught me and go run the play as fast as possible with no delay
Starting point is 00:05:33 and come back like, what else you got? And what happens is they'll start giving you more breadcrumbs until you get to the loaf. So that's pretty much how I got started and how I learned. I made tons of mistakes, but here's the thing, the biggest mistake you'll make is not making the mistakes to get where you want to be. That's far. I like that. So how big of a support system did you have or did you have one? And where did you if not, where did you pull your motivation from?
Starting point is 00:05:58 And that's a good question, man. So many people ask me this all the time. And like, if I could go back, one of the biggest mistakes I made was not starting sooner or not going harder because of that belief system. So in the world of entrepreneurship, so I'll be 34 this year. I got started in 2015 with this whole entrepreneurship thing. And we grew up in a small town and everybody worked for someone else. You know, my uncles, they worked at steel mills. My wife's family, they worked on farms. So everything was physical labor. My dad's 74 years old. He still works every single day. Everything was physical labor or the traditional curriculum or traditional workforce,
Starting point is 00:06:34 you know, get a job, go to school, get a job. So when I told him I'm going to figure out how to make money online, they're like, listen, man, you got to be a real man. You know, if you're going to try to start a family, you're going to become an adult. You have another, uh, significant other to take care of. You need to learn a high income skillset, become a welder, go get your CDL, go get your GDA, GD, uh, GD. Cause I didn't have a high school diploma. I didn't have a GD, no college education, nothing. Right. So like, this is a scam, you know, what scam stands for, right? Still, still confused about money. So nobody was a millionaire in my family. I was the first millionaire in my family. So they were constantly telling me like every mistake I
Starting point is 00:07:09 made going back to mistakes, it was magnified tenfold because they were like, we told you so. Yeah. Like just go get a job. They want to be right. When are you going to learn that this isn't going to work? You're making a fool of yourself. Right. So on and so forth. So I didn't really have a support system. The only support system i had is my wife so girlfriend at the time and i kept failing i failed over and over and over again in fact when i launched my e-commerce business my first three products failed at the time i was working for minimum wage because i didn't have a ged didn't have a high school diploma i was working third shift at a place called finitech a recycling plant hand sorting trash with my bare hands because there's no machines that can tell the difference in the plastics.
Starting point is 00:07:48 You have to hand-sort them. On the bottom of every plastic piece of material is a number. Well, I just noticed, you say you were hand-sorting trash with your hands? Yeah, because there's no machine. So if you look at the bottom of all the plastics, there's a number. There's no machine that can sort them. So you have fours and fives and sixes. So these are all felons and people that can't get jobs that are doing this so I work third shift minimum wage hand
Starting point is 00:08:07 sorting through trash my wife was working for minimum wage so I didn't have much money and all of it went into the business so every time we made a mistake every time I mostly it cost him yeah to the fact where I couldn't pay rent so I had to go to a center township to get vouchers to cover rent couldn't get food had to go ring the bell at salvation army to get um food for my family at the time now we have a newborn so three first products failed fourth one made me a million in one year this is 2015 changed the game for us wow and what was that product so that product it was actually so my wife girlfriend at the time her boss my early, was a manufacturer in the bath and body space.
Starting point is 00:08:47 So I was going in there and I'm just picking up the game, the breadcrumbs. And I'm asking, like, how can I get started? How can I get started? Because he sold B2B, which is business to business. And they would then distribute it or resell it, repurpose it, kind of like white labeling. And I'm like, how do I get started? He's like, you got to find a product. I'm like, I don't have the money to build a product, develop a product.
Starting point is 00:09:05 I'll sell your products. Um, and I'm like, how do I get started? He's like, you got to find a product. I'm like, I don't have the money to build a product, develop a product. I'll sell your products. So he didn't have a ton of money because he works on small margins. So what he ended up doing is giving me some product that he couldn't sell. The product that sold the least amount that he had or products that made where there was mistakes made. So there was a different color to fragrance variation. And he gave me this and he said, figure it out, right? Figure out how to sell it. And I was trying all these different ways and it wasn't working. So I used to, on my
Starting point is 00:09:29 days off, I was there studying. I wasn't watching TV. I wasn't going out. I was sitting there in his office. He would take all the sales calls. He'd run all the orders. The employees would come and talk to him. He would work with everybody. And I would hear him on the, he'd have his feet kicked up on the desk, talking to people on the phone, telling them, stop doing these house parties. Stop trying to get small locations in the mall. Figure out Shopify, figure out Amazon. And I asked him, I'm like, why is nobody doing this? And at this point, I wasn't able to move the product and figure this out.
Starting point is 00:09:56 And he said, because people only want to do what they know exist. But in order to have what you don't have, you have to do things that you don't, that you're not doing. So I said, I'm going to figure this thing out. So I worked diligently for months just learning the Amazon platform, the Shopify platform. And at this time, it wasn't Seller Central, it was Vendor Express, Vendor Central, and it took off. I got number one in the world. It really worked to my advantage because lush had a patent on bath bombs and it just literally the patent just expired when our product went live and the product
Starting point is 00:10:30 that he had that he couldn't sell that was his least seller now he's got bombs wow i didn't know they patented bath bombs yeah and amazon's big on you know uh cease and desist and you know you can't impersonate you know you can amazon's big on that dude it ended up being a perfect product because it's a it's a product that's used like you use it once it's gone um it's a product that pretty much any demographic geographic any gender can use little kids women men um so it's cool it's an experience you get to watch it disintegrate i'm a fan of bath bombs i know i get a lot of hate for it it's kind of like a girly yeah but it's it's a i feel like that's an inexperienced item like you would get to experience it so i think that's what people rock with so how do you find winning products now on amazon because
Starting point is 00:11:14 everyone's looking for that yeah no absolutely so here's the thing like so many people over complicate this this whole situation like there's a special strategy it's got to look like this it's got to be this size it's got to be this size. It's got to be this weight. Here's a few, few facts. Number one, all things that can be listed on Amazon sell on Amazon. Number one,
Starting point is 00:11:34 the million dollar question is not how do you find a winning product? How do you find a good product? How do you find a good product for you? Because if we were going to start a product, let's say we all three pulled some money together and we came up with a hundred grand cash. Our budget is significantly different and our experience and exposure different millions on social media, hundreds of thousands on social media experience is different than someone who's starting out. So the first thing I tell people to do before they start product research is to come
Starting point is 00:11:57 up with what the freedom formula is for them. So number one, freedom formula, I call it the freedom formula because our goal is my first product, not my first product, my third product, but the one product changed me and my family's life. So the AMZ formula, my company, the slogan is you're only one product away. So we call it the freedom formula because before we start anything, we want to identify number one, what product do you have an appetite for when it comes to risk? What product do you have an appetite for when it comes to investment? And product do you have an appetite for when it comes to investment? And will that product create enough cashflow or enough revenue for it to be worth it?
Starting point is 00:12:33 Right. So those are the three questions we're looking at. And here's the mistake that everybody makes. I'm going to give it a try. They invest what they have to lose. Right. So you have to give up what you have in order to be where you want to be like me. I was able to make it because I gave everything up. I wasn't dabbling, I wasn't trying. And most people now, I've been doing this since coaching and consulting since late 2017, I've helped tens of thousands of people. I've noticed the main mistake and the limitation on the products that people find is their budget because you can find a product that costs a dollar to make or you can find a product
Starting point is 00:13:02 that costs a thousand dollars to make. So you got to look at the risk tolerance so you got to look at the risk tolerance you got to look at the investment tolerance and so many people are scared to lose well they're starting the business off with the mindset and the mentality that well i'm just going to try and if it loses i can afford to lose it but if you do your due diligence and you know people are using this every single day people are buying this every single day no brainer people on Amazon with brands that you've never heard of are making six seven eight nine figures annually with these similar products why would you dabble so figure out what you can actually invest now you don't want to go bankrupt or lose payments or be on the
Starting point is 00:13:35 street but you also don't want to gamble with a small budget because the more budget you have the larger pool of products you can find number two risk tolerance like in this industry, in the Amazon industry, there's a lot of bad reputation and there's a lot of people that come in and they lose money and they're like, oh, this is a scam, so on and so forth. Remember, scam is still confused about money. They use scam for everything. Here's the thing. People are looking for get rich quick schemes, but don't want to get rich quick scheme. You know what I mean? They're looking for a legitimate business but when they start the legitimate business it's not fast enough.
Starting point is 00:14:08 Right. It's not profitable enough, fast enough. So it's how long can you be in this business? How much time can you actually put into this business? How much can you actually invest? And then you start looking for the actual products. Some things I recommend is number one, of course not a patented product. There's tons of tools that you can use.
Starting point is 00:14:25 Google patents is a free and easy one. Make sure the product's not patented. Number one, it's easy because you can tell if you're doing product research and you see one or two name brands dominating a space. Perfect example, blender bottle, nine figure company. They have a patent on the ball, the sphere apparatus inside of a bottle for mixing powder. Really? Yeah. So they have a they have
Starting point is 00:14:45 a patent on that it's a nine figure company one product blender bottle oh they have a patented on on the ball that's in there but that ball is everywhere right not inside or is their ball special because they're getting them with um certain um protein yeah yeah there's a ball in there so there's different ones so now what people have done to bypass that is they have like it looks like a blender thing in it and it's electric and they have a battery on it so obviously people are crushing it right yeah exactly they're crushing it but they have a patent on it so number one making sure it's not patented number two people still make this mistake i'm gonna still throw it out there don't market or launch a licensed product if you don't have
Starting point is 00:15:21 a license don't put uh mickey mouse on it, SpongeBob on it. People still do it because they see the search volumes crazy. Obviously, you don't have a license for Dora the Explorer, right? Number two. Number three, I'm looking for products that are not seasonal and people mistaken seasonal with semi-seasonal. So semi-seasonal would be a pool float. In Texas, Vegas, California, Florida, it's going to be selling 24-7, 365, not in Indiana, not in Chicago, not in New York. So that's a semi-seasonal product. It'll sell full-time in specific states. Do you still sell those? I don't sell any of those. Everything that I sell is used every single day, regardless of the time of the year, regardless of the age group. I really try to look for products. I've made millions of dollars in office products. They're used, they're replaced. Everybody uses them. Bath and body products. Everybody uses
Starting point is 00:16:09 them. Um, so not semi-seasonal, not seasonal, um, products that are going to sell 24, seven, three 65. And I like to see at least 25% margin on the products. That's like three of the biggest things. Nice. And where do you see the future of e-commerce? Do you see Amazon dominating still? Or do you see players like Walmart target getting in the space and taking some market share? Yeah, they're going to have to. They're going to have to do something like this is my personal opinion where I see the marketplace going. I think Amazon's not going anywhere. I own a lot of stock in Amazon. We love Amazon personally. I think that Walmart's hanging on by a thread and not because people love human interaction because of the produce space. Well, Amazon had a huge M&A. They had a huge merger and acquisition with Whole Foods.
Starting point is 00:16:50 So they're really quiet on that. But I see two components. When Amazon dials in virtual reality in terms of clothes and in terms of furniture, where you can now get an amazon prime headset almost like a the the meta one for 93 or a part of your amazon prime membership and you can wear that and you can see yourself in the clothes and you can see the furniture around your home those two sectors are over and then when they can get poultry and they can get food to your home same day with some type of dry ice or some type of apparatus that will keep it fresh keep it cool at walmart prices or near walmart prices it's over that's right grocery stores will be hit by amazon oh yeah i do walmart and amazon are already hitting grocery stores i order my groceries
Starting point is 00:17:36 online on and up amazon is the biggest conglomerate though they're they're going after everything they have amazon fresh too. Absolutely. Yep. Amazon Fresh. And like I said, with the acquisition of Whole Foods, I think that's the five to 10 year play. I don't think it'll happen this year, but I think in the next five to 10 years, it's over with because the overhead. Here's the thing. Like the reason why my mentor was telling everybody, stop doing these house parties, stop getting these little boutiques and trying to sell the product is because the overhead. So he was a European immigrant. And all I heard him talk about nonstop is touch points, touch points, margin gaps, margin gaps, loss of profits. So everything was how can we increase efficiency,
Starting point is 00:18:14 productivity, reduce overhead, increase margin, reduce touch points. So Walmart, you have these huge spaces, then you have insurance, then you have benefits, then you have employees, you have utility bills, you have maintenance on parking, you have all these lawsuits from the liability of the actual physical location. There's too much overhead, too much touch points. So where Amazon doesn't have that, they can then invest that into automation and delegation
Starting point is 00:18:39 from artificial intelligence. They literally have robots in their fulfillment centers, and then they can invest it in prime shipping.'s why they're more profitable amazon because they have less overhead they have warehouses shipping warehouses but if you think about what he said they're going super automation so with the implementation of robots right now they just laid off uh i just read something some some weeks ago it's like one amazon spot laid off like 2700 employees wow because of ai robots and all that stuff but they're going to need people to run the robots and in right in ai so it's kind of like a you know everybody hates it but then everybody loves chat gbt so you can't
Starting point is 00:19:17 ignore it like artificial intelligence ai and the lesson in that that everybody watching can take is that amateurs monetize the front end, experts monetize the back end. The seven, eight, nine figure earners will lose money on the front end to make a fortune on the back end. A lot of people don't know this. Amazon does not profit on Prime. They lose money on Prime. They lose money on Prime. The membership, getting packages to you same day, next day guaranteed or your money back they lose money on that but they make so much money on the
Starting point is 00:19:45 back end because 93 of amazon buyers and consumers only go to amazon when they want something yeah and it's middle it's it's the middle class too because it's more middle class than there is the top one percent so the primers are usually those guys some of them but the middle class are the ones actually spending the large amount of money and you know it's more than there is do you believe in passive income i believe in passive income and here's the crazy thing like a lot of people like like to ridicule people when they talk about passive income because it's like when you think of passive income you think about scam bali you think about laying up laying up in a hammock in bali that's because that's how they market it bro doing absolutely nothing here's what passive means to me and this is the reason why i got in the business and entrepreneurship and i love the amazon model it's being able to work on your
Starting point is 00:20:36 business or work on the thing at your leisure if you choose to or not and still producing income so not where it's like a stock dividend where you like you do jack and you know you're going to earn x percent yeah i believe there's different tiers of passive income but semi-passive or passive to me is can i put what is the minimum amount of my time for the maximum amount of income that i can receive it's automation yeah so for me i can work two three hours a week and it's whenever i feel like it and it can be in little 15 minute intervals see amazon runs 24 7 365 you can work on the business whenever you want at your own leisure absolutely on your break on the weekend in the bed on the toilet whenever you feel like it's like if i'm not doing anything i'm hanging out anyway
Starting point is 00:21:18 why not why don't i just knock out these orders or review the health or review the advertising so i love that i agree with that to be honest no absolutely because like you said passive income has so many different variables now so it's like what what's considered passive income to you for me is automation you know less work right but still making that money you still got to check you still want to check on everything even if it's rental property you still want to drive up just see how it's doing and absolutely making sure everything is you know a1 but how much do you think someone would need to start in amazon and achieve some sort of success success is relative but do you think they need like 10k 25k so 10k is a really
Starting point is 00:21:55 nice amount and here's the thing like people don't ever ask like what do i recommend or what's a good amount here's the million dollar question what is the lowest amount that's what they always ask so if you don't have three to five k usd i would say and here's the thing if someone tells you like it costs three to five k to invest to get into this business model and they don't have it they're like oh next next flashy thing right let me learn how to play black jack or let me learn how to do youtube automation or something like that the reason why i say three to five k bare minimum is because a majority of the bulk is gonna be from my business model Which is private label in the product and the shipping right? That's a majority of all the expenses and the more money you have the more potential you have to find a products
Starting point is 00:22:37 Like there's no there's no Like you're gonna go put in the variables and do product research and just find this random product. Because I have on my YouTube channel, I have a series called the seven figure product series. Every single week I review a product that is profiting one million dollars or more per year. Why do I do that? Number one, to show people that there's tons of products out there making a buttload of money.
Starting point is 00:22:59 But number two, most importantly to show people, dude you need four or $500,000 to launch this product. yeah like this where i can three thousand dollars and make twenty thousand dollars a month it's not realistic so we started with the freedom formula because if you know you can only make 30 well every three products you sell you double your money how much is it like reverse engineer how much does it cost to start how much can you potentially make so bare minimum is three to five k the more you have access to the better. And the few ways that you can do this, I often say, if you don't have the resources, become resourceful. So you can get working capital loans for low interest. You can get 0%
Starting point is 00:23:35 interest credit cards from large financial institutions. You can utilize that. You can also do a partnership, whether it's a strategic short-term partnership where you put up the time, they put up the money, you repay them back 10%, 15%, which is more than a traditional financial institution. Or you can do an equity play where they put up the money, you put up the time, they have equity ownership in the business. Here's the mistake. A lot of people will take 100% of nothing versus 50% of something. All the time. And the biggest mistake I made, like we were just talking about this, the two biggest mistakes I made is number one,
Starting point is 00:24:07 not spending more money on my business and on myself. And number two is not selling my business when it was ready to sell. Those are the two biggest mistakes I made. And a lot of people, to reverse caveat on that, they won't give people equity, right? They won't give people equity. And I watched an interview with Jay-Z
Starting point is 00:24:24 and he was talking about he owned 100% ace of spades and um he was being interviewed i think kevin hart was yeah yeah and he's like why would you give up 50 of ace of spades he's like i'd rather give 50 up to ace of spades to lvmh which is now the largest conglomerate and brand owner in the world that took him to the billy right so it's like I'd rather give up 50% or 30% or 25% to have more than a hundred percent to have less and got him international distribution recognition brand awareness and he ended up selling a large portion of his right we're not all of it but he ended up now he's like my minority owner yeah for the most part yeah yeah people are closed-minded sometimes I think yeah
Starting point is 00:25:04 they don't understand business yeah yeah don't understand how it works like you said they were their own 100% of nothing just to say they own it versus you know like yeah well no and I feel I be a night my man from night night yeah yeah yeah only owns 1% of Nike what's yeah Wow 1% bro doesn't the average person own like seven when they sell or something something low it just depends on how far you want to go as far as apple they own three percent the ceo of apple owns three percent three percent of three trillion dollars yeah they're worth three trillion big big bags that's insane yeah man josh it's been a great episode any closing thoughts um man there's just
Starting point is 00:25:41 so much that i could say number one is um, um, the enemy is in the enemy. And if it's meant to be, it's up to me. So you're the only person that can get you in or out of your situation. Number two is don't share your large dreams and goals with a small minded person. A lot of what holds us back keeps us where we are is not having big enough dreams or sharing our large dreams with small minded people. Um, and number three is just don't give up, right? There's two ways to fail anything. Not only Amazon, anything that you do.
Starting point is 00:26:09 Number one, not starting. Number two, giving up. Everybody starts and a majority gives up. So as long as you don't give up, you persevere, you're patient, you're persistent, you can make anything happen. Gotcha. Absolutely. Thanks for watching.
