I came to this country from communist Armenia with nothing.
Didn’t speak the language.
Ate out of dumpsters.
Lived in government housing.
Got in trouble with the law as a young adult.
Fast forward 40+ years…
I’ve built multiple 7 and 8-figure companies and sold several of them.
So what changed?
I figured out the 7 things that move the needle in creating the wealth and life I wanted.
And I share this with you because if you want to have the best year of your life in 2026 and hit that 7-figure mark in your bank account…
THESE ARE THE 7 THINGS I DID THAT CHANGED EVERYTHING:
1.) IT’S NOT ABOUT YOU
Your business isn’t about what you want to do. It’s about what your customer needs.
I don’t always feel like getting on Zoom calls, speaking on stages, recording podcast episodes, or writing emails. But I do it anyway. Why? Because that’s the business I’m in.
If you want to make money, you serve your audience first. Your feelings come second.
2.) YOU’RE NOT BURNED OUT
Everyone loves to say they’re “burned out.”
But take it from someone who’s growing multiple businesses and constantly travelling…
It’s very hard to actually burn out. Just like it’s hard to overtrain in the gym.
Most of the time, you’re not burned out. You’re just spinning your wheels without direction. Your nervous system is telling you something’s off because you don’t know what the hell to do next.
Sometimes you need to rest. Sometimes you need to slow down. But you’re never actually burned out – you’re just unclear on your next move.
3.) UNDERSTAND THE BUSINESS FORMULA
Business isn’t complicated.
It’s a simple formula:
- Create an offer.
- Generate leads.
- Make sales.
- Deliver the product or service.
- Repeat
That’s it.
Most entrepreneurs overcomplicate it. They focus on branding before they have sales. They build elaborate funnels before they have an offer people want.
Master the formula first. Everything else is just a distraction.
4.) REVERSE ENGINEER EVERYTHING
You want to make $1 million a year?
Break it down: $250K a quarter. $83K a month. $2,704 a day.
Now you know exactly how many sales calls you need. What your offers need to be. What your KPIs are.
Work backwards from the goal. It changes everything.
5.) ONE ACTION ITEM EVERY MORNING
Every morning, I sit down and write one thing. The one action that will move the needle forward today.
My friend Jason Redman calls it “eating the frog” – doing the hardest, most important thing first.
If you can do one profit-producing activity every day, you’re winning.
6.) WHEN YOU HAVE MOMENTUM, DON’T LOSE IT
Momentum is everything.
When you find something that works double down on it. Like the old saying goes – “Don’t fix what isn’t broken.”
Drop everything else and focus on what’s working right now. Ride the wave as long as you can.
7.) LEARN SALES
I put this in every video, every email, every conversation.
Sales is the one high income skill that can take your business to the next level. If you suck at it, hire someone but don’t ignore it.
These 7 things took me from eating out of dumpsters to building multiple 8 and 9-figure companies.
Hopefully doing just one of these things can help you on your way to a 7-figure bank account.
And if you want help installing any of these into your business, that’s exactly what we’re covering at the 10X Intensive on February 7th at the Fit Body HQ in Chino Hills.
For one day, you’ll learn how to sell, build momentum, reverse engineer your goals, and execute instead of just ‘planning’.
See you there,
Bedros Keuilian
P.S. 2026 could be your breakthrough year. But only if you stop making excuses and start executing on these 7 things.
