The Money Story (For Entrepreneurs Only)

Years back when I was still trying to make it as an entrepreneur, my first mentor Jim Franco called me into his office to have a “come to Jesus talk” with me.

At the time I had never even heard the phrase “come to Jesus talk”

It went like this…

“Look…I’m DONE loaning you money. You need to figure out how you’re going to pay me back the money I loaned you Bedros.”

Most people usually hear this from a debt collector in the form of a loan shark.

But for me, it was from my mentor Jim Franco. 

He was always brutally direct with me and never sugarcoated anything. 

I tried to keep a stoic face.

But between you and me, my balls were in my throat because he had loaned me $126,000.

And I didn’t have the money to pay him back because it had been a little over 3 years and my “revolutionary” training software called High Tech Trainer hadn’t even launched yet. 

On top of that my “revolutionary” software was about to become obsolete thanks to some dude in a turtleneck.

Yes, I’m talking about Steve Jobs.

When he revealed the iPhone, my $1M idea became a $0 idea.

I eventually ended up launching, breaking even, paying back my debt to Jim and scrapping the business altogether.

Now for most individuals, this would have crushed their soul. But for me, this was the best thing that could have happened to me.

Because it gave me a valuable lesson about making money.

I realized that I could create and create and CREATE all day long…

…but unless I started marketing and selling, my product was never going to make money.

Too many new entrepreneurs spend YEARS trying to perfect their service or product before even getting one sale.

Oftentimes you’re stuck in creation mode and you put off marketing and selling because you’re trying to perfect your product or service. 

That’s just stupid! 

So learn from my $126,000 lesson.

If I could do it all over again this is what I would do:

  1. Have a launch strategy and crystal clear vision 
  2. Find a way to sell my product as soon as possible
  3. Pivot and reiterate AFTER you launch your product or service

Stop waiting for the perfect moment to achieve your goal. 

Understand it never will be. 

Because the perfect moment to act…

The perfect time to start…

Will be the moment you decide to take action.

What I Learned From Mike Tyson

Growing up, my dad and I shared a love for boxing.

One of the biggest legendary boxers that I loved to watch was Iron Mike Tyson.

And one of my favorite Mike Tyson memories isn’t actually about him but about his match against the great James “Buster” Douglas.

If you’re not familiar with that match EVERYONE thought Tyson would tear Douglas apart. 

In fact, The odds were stacked 42 to 1 against Douglas.

But in the 10th round, Douglas landed a hook that sent Tyson to the canvas. 

Against all odds – Douglas came out on top. 

After it was all said and done Douglas was asked about his training, his strategy, and his mindset, he simply said, “I came in here to do what I was supposed to do.”

But what people didn’t know was that just 23 days before Douglas had lost his mother. In his last conversation with his mom, she had no doubt in her mind that he was going to win that fight.

If that wasn’t already a punch in the gut – he got delivered another blow when his best friend got diagnosed with a deadly disease. 

That night Douglas stepped into that ring with more than victory on his mind. He had something to prove, something worth fighting for, and a heart full of determination.

You see, everyone aspires to be great…to make something more out of their life. 

But far too often, we set our expectations too low. 

We think greatness is meant for others.

Maybe it’s a teacher who told us we weren’t good enough…

An abusive partner who said we’d never amount to anything…

Or a parent who said success wasn’t for us…

Regardless of the opinions of others, I’m here to tell you that if a man like Douglas can overcome the “impossible”…

So can you.

And if an immigrant like me who went from Section 8 housing to owning multiple properties can prove people wrong…

So can you.

I share this with you because regardless of what others say about you…

No one can measure the heart and determination that you have.

So the next time that you feel like you can’t do the “impossible”…

Remember that greatness is meant for you.

Always in your corner,

Bedros Keuilian

P.S. A lot of men today don’t think they can do the impossible, this is why we have the MDK Project.

The Project helps shatter the beliefs holding you back so you can reclaim the greatness inside of you.

The Worst Decision You Can Make In Business

The worse decision you can make in business isn’t the decision to scale your business too quickly.

Or the decision to hire an employee that doesn’t align with your vision.

Or even the decision to not pivot and adapt when needed.

The worse decision you could make is – indecision.

Indecision will cost you more money than ANY wrong decision.

You see, in the world of business, it pays to be decisive

And make no mistake, in the beginning, you’re going to make a sh!tload of wrong decisions in your business. I lost count of the number of wrong decisions I made when I started Fit Body Boot Camp.

The key is pivoting quickly, making the next decision, and moving forward.

And after a while, those wrong decisions will become less and less likely.

But sitting on the fence, second-guessing, and over-analyzing every little f*cking detail? 

That’s a fast-track ticket to losing your business. 

So here’s the big takeaway for today:

In business, if you’re not moving forward, you’re moving backward.

Make a decision. 

Execute. 

Pivot if needed.

Repeat until you succeed.

Remember, the path to success is paved with decisions – not indecisions.

Why I Don’t Focus On Happiness

At a recent Squire class, I gave a talk about profits being a byproduct of focusing on your passion and purpose. 

During that talk I had a young man ask me where happiness fit in that equation.

My answer was simple – don’t focus on happiness.

If I did what made me happy…

I’d sleep in and hit the snooze button…

Eat sh!t food…

And mindlessly watch cat videos on YouTube all day…

That’s a recipe for a miserable life, not a happy one.

And after years of developing into the 2.0 version of myself I’ve discovered our brains have two “happy” chemicals – dopamine and serotonin.

Dopamine gives us that temporary pleasure hit, like eating junk food, watching motivational videos, and bragging on social media about how hard you’re going to “grind” but never taking action.

On the other hand… 

Serotonin gives you that long-lasting feeling of well-being that comes from doing the hard things, pushing yourself, and being disciplined.

To sum it up:

Dopamine is the crazy chick you met at the bar, sure she’s fun for a while, but she’ll f*ck up your life sooner or later. 

Serotonin is the girl you’d want to take home, meet your parents, and settle down with.

So if you want to find long-term true happiness, don’t chase dopamine hits. 

Train your brain to crave serotonin instead.

And you do that by finding your purpose and your passion. When you can align those two things, you’ll not only find real happiness…

…I guarantee you’ll create a wildly profitable business and purposeful life.

Copy My “Cheat Code” To Generate Millions

Over the past two decades, I’ve generated hundreds of millions of dollars across various industries. 

And I’ve narrowed my success down to four key principles.

Principles that have been a literal game changer in my businesses. 

Combining these four principles are the “cheat code” that my coaching clients and I use to build and scale 7, 8, & 9-figure businesses.

And if you can implement these in your business, then you’ll be able to unlock the “cheat code” to generate millions in your business.

1) Solve Big Problems

The bigger the problem you solve, the more you can charge. 

People are happy to pay more for things that make their lives better or easier. (Take the cost of getting a gym membership versus getting liposuction.)

2) Have a Plan

Starting a business without a plan is like going on a trip without a destination. 

I guarantee you’ll end up losing a hell of a lot of money if you don’t have an end goal in mind.

3) Be a Great Leader 

You’re not just a business owner – you’re a leader. 

As an entrepreneur, your main job is to paint a clear vision for your employees. 

4) Get Good at Acquire Leads

The quicker you can get leads the quicker you’ll be able to scale profitably.

Lead generation is the lifeblood of any business.

Now well these might be simple to understand…

…but not many people are willing to spend years executing this plan.

And if you’re ready to unlock the “cheat code” to scaling your business, then you might want to consider joining my Domination Year

I’ll personally work with you to help you implement these principles to time collapse your success and more.

>>> See if you’d be a good fit.

Make no mistake, understanding these principles is just the first step. 

Success only happens when you put them into action – consistently.

Day after day.

Month after month.

Year after year.

That’s when the real magic happens.

The Winning Formula From 7x Mr. Olympia

I recently spent some time with my good friend and 7-time Mr. Olympia, Phil Heath. 

We spent the day strategizing and mapping out his next big move.

Phil has accomplished more than most will in a lifetime – but he’s just getting started. 

Here’s the thing about Phil – he’s a winner. 

And like all winners, they don’t rest on their past wins. 

They don’t stop when they’ve achieved greatness and they sure as hell are not afraid to pivot to the next big thing. 

There are a few big lessons I want you to take away:

  1. Winning creates momentum. The more you win, the more you want to win. It’s a cycle that fuels success.
  1. Never rest on your laurels. No matter how high you’ve climbed, there’s always another peak to conquer.
  1. Complacency is the enemy of progress. Work like you’re still broke, even when everyone knows your name. 

Too many individuals are still celebrating a small win they achieved a decade ago. 

But real winners…

Real entrepreneurs…

Real f#cking high achievers like you…

…are consistently stacking wins on top of wins!

Now, if you’re ready to commit, to go all in, and to grind it out for at least 5 years without making a single penny in profit, then you just might have what it takes to be successful.

When you can stick with eating sh!t sandwiches for 5 years while consistently honing your craft then you’ll be leagues ahead of the competition.

And when you can do that I guarantee you’ll be the Mr. Olympia of your industry.

Always rootin’ for you,

Bedros Keuilian

The Most Important Lesson Warren Buffett Taught Me

Now before I dive into what Warren Buffett taught me here’s a lesson for you…

Every man carries a credit score.

But it’s not the traditional credit score that you think of.

Instead, the value of your score is based on whether you 

  • Keep your promises, 
  • Practice what you preach
  • You live by the core values you so proudly flaunt on social media.

You see, this score doesn’t correlate to getting more credit…

…it correlates to getting more reputation.

Now here’s a hard pill to swallow, a majority of men out there are living with a below-average score.

Whether your score is below average or not, you need to understand the importance of building and maintaining your reputation score.

Here are three tips on how you can “boost” your reputation score:

Be A Man Of Your Word: If you say you’re going to do something – do it. 

It’s as simple as that. 

Be Authentic: Don’t just post about your values on social media – live them. 

The person you are online should align with the person you are in person. Only children pretend to be somebody they’re not.

Don’t Be An @sshole: How you treat others speaks volumes about your character. 

Show kindness, be empathetic, and have respect for others in all your interactions.

One of the biggest lessons about reputation is from Warren Buffet, 

It takes 20 years to build a decent reputation and just five minutes to ruin it. If you think about that, you’ll do things differently.” 

Your reputation score matters. 

Remember to always be building it.

Amazing Dad Story

This past weekend, I had 75 awesome fathers & sons come to the Blacksite Ranch to experience the Squire Program – a rite of passage for these boys as they go into manhood. 

We had them from 5:30 am to 6:30 pm so they could have one of the most bonding moments dads and sons could have together.

And the transformation between son and father is always something that I look forward to seeing.

A transformation that could only happen at the Squire Program.

When the boys first arrive many of them are uncertain, nervous, and a bit terrified.

While they might not have said it, some of these fathers looked just as uncomfortable as the boys.

The great thing about the Squire program is that we work with both sons AND fathers.

Helping sons build confidence, equipping them with the skills and traits they need to step into the role of a capable young man.

And guiding fathers to become better leaders, so that they can feel more capable in leading themselves and their families.

Both father and son left with a better understanding of what it means to be the protector and provider.

And both developed an unbreakable bond with each other.

A bond that no media outlet…

No social media post…

Or education system can take away.

And it was a chance for them to have an unforgettable experience that will be talked about for a lifetime.

The next Squire Program is just around the corner and you and your son are invited to experience it.

The class is 75% full already so if you’re interested in coming to it with your son, please go here and apply for it before it sells out.

You can watch this really cool two-minute video to see what the Squire Program is all about.

Look forward to meeting you and your son,

Bedros Keuilian

P.S. If you’re a female and your son doesn’t have a male role model in his life. Our program is inclusive and designed to cater to boys who may not have a father figure around. 

We will assign an experienced instructor who will be a mentor to your son for the duration of the program. The Instructor will provide him with the guidance and support he needs to succeed.

Heads Up!

The other day I met someone who could have easily won the anti-Oscar award for worst acting.

At Class 017 of the Modern Day Knight Project, we had a man who was sandbagging during one of the many hikes we go on. 

And this was on DAY 0…

…day zero is basically when we slowly ramp up on the Project and its pace. 

We hadn’t even started the full mental and physical gauntlet of the Project.

The worst part? This man was holding up his class.

I told him, “You need to hurry the f*ck up! Your class is suffering because you’re holding back.”

Instructor Steve had the rest of the class doing bear crawls up and down the hill until he caught up.

It was clear to me he had never faced any adversity in his life. 

You see, he has been conditioned to never push through adversity because no one has ever expected anything from him.

But what he failed to realize was he was in a bad position in life because he blamed everyone else for his failures. 

HE HAD NEVER TAKEN OWNERSHIP OF HIS OWN LIFE OR OWN ACTIONS!

Like many other men today, he’s become content with others writing his story for him.

Sandbagging through life.

Holding back their full potential.

Afraid of failure, what others will think of them, and even fear success.

Whether this sounds like you or if you feel that you’re k!cking ass in all areas of your life…

…I want you to know one thing – you have more in you. 

You have untapped potential just waiting to be unleashed. 

So just when you think you’re running empty, I GUARANTEE you have an extra reserve you can tap into.

Because when you tap into your extra reserves, you’ll unlock another level that you didn’t know existed. 

And when you can do this, you’ll be able to conquer any obstacle, overcome any adversity, and take control of your life.

If you’re looking to tap into that reserve then start by doing the deep work and taking ownership of yourself and your actions.

Stop looking to others to hold you to a higher standard and start holding yourself to one.

Always rootin’ for you,

Bedros Keuilian

P.S. If you’re ready to hold yourself to a higher standard then I’m here to help you do it at Bedros Keuilian LIVE.

For two-days I and other high achievers and multi-millionaire entrepreneurs are going to coach you, mentor you, and pour into you. Giving you the blueprint to making more money, developing an unstoppable mindset, and achieving higher levels of self-mastery.

AI – world domination or just stupid?

Look, it’s no secret…

Whether you think AI is something out of a Terminator movie or you’re embracing AI with open arms – AI is changing the world.

Just last month 4,000 jobs were replaced, and there are another 300 million jobs that could be replaced in the coming months and years.

Every day new AI tools across every industry are being created to streamline workflow, make jobs more efficient, and in some cases, terminate roles.

In case you think your job won’t be affected – remember the internet? Those who didn’t adapt were left behind which led to many businesses and families going bankrupt.

It’s easy to be worried about this massive shift in the market that’s happening.

Worrying about your job being replaced, your business being unable to compete, and an uncertain future.

But here’s the thing…

In every market shift there are those who resist…and those who rise. 

And the ONLY difference between them is this – their ability to evolve.

So you can either fear the rise of AI, or you can see it for what it truly is…

…a chance to level up, reinvent yourself, and evolve from your 1.0 to your 2.0 version.

Those that can evolve to their 2.0 version will not only survive this changing landscape but also will be able to leap ahead of the competition.

And I want to help you make that leap.

That’s why I’m inviting you to join me at Bedros Keuilian LIVE. 

In just two days I’ll show you the strategies, mindset shifts, and practical steps you need to thrive in this and ANY disruptive shift.

Plus you’ll be able to use my 7 pillar framework to “flip the switch” in your impact, income, and purpose.

Just like AI continually evolving, I’ll show you how you can adapt, evolve, and become the 2.0 version of yourself. 

The truth is you need to evolve faster than your competition, and while that can take months or years…I’ll show you how to do it in two days.

I may not be able to show you how to outsmart robots, but I can sure as hell help you outsmart your competition.
