6 Critical Mistakes Holding You Back from Building an Empire By Craig Ballantyne Read this on Early to Rise Jeff Bezos, the sometimes world’s richest man, is not unfamiliar with screwing up. Leaving his recent personal slip ups out of the list, here are but a few of his 8 and 9-figure blunders: The Fire Phone: A $170 million write-off Junglee: Jung-what? Exactly. Another $170 million mistake… this one made in 1998 Living Social: Not only did he lose $175 million on the initial purchase, but he also dumped another $56 million into it… proving that even the “smartest guys” will throw good money at bad investments. Pets.com: Yes, THAT Pets.com … $50 million But here’s what Bezos said about this list, “It was like getting a root canal with no anesthesia. None of those things are fun. But they also don’t matter." His net worth has increased nearly 10 fold since making those mistakes, and in this year’s letter to Amazon shareholders he said, “If the size of your failures isn’t growing, you’re not going to be inventing at a size that can actually move the needle.” So listen, you and I (and the errors of our ways) are in good company. Over the past twenty years, I’ve built five 7-figure businesses, written a Wall Street Journal best-selling book, accumulated over 13 million views of YouTube videos, shared the stage with Tony Robbins, and connected with some of the most amazing and inspiring entrepreneurs in the world, all while creating a budding Empire that will one day impact more than 100,000,000 lives. But along the way, I made nearly every mistake in the book (except for Pets.com, even I saw through that one, Mr. Bezos). I’ve lost more money than I care to think about, destroyed a couple of amazing relationships, and allowed my own ego and insecurities to sabotage my potential. Luckily, I’ve also learned from these mistakes and made (often painful) changes in my life to overcome the obstacles I was facing and grown into the Empire builder I needed to become. And today, I want to share some of the biggest mistakes and lessons I’ve learned both from my journey and from the journeys of the hundreds of entrepreneurs I’ve coached over the years. If you will take action on what I’m going to teach you today and avoid these mistakes at all costs, you will set yourself up for massive success in 2019 and lay the foundations of a lasting Empire that impact millions and make you a fortune.
