A short monologue (YouTube video) by Mark Evans DM discussing the common entrepreneurial goal of 'retiring someone' and arguing that entrepreneurs should invest in themselves—specifically by hiring an assistant early—even without large savings. The speaker reframes hiring costs as an investment and encourages hustling to generate initial cash and tolerate early losses as a learning mechanism.
We all want to retire someone. That's the driving force that I've seen pretty common with entrepreneurs that are driving hard. That's why you need to invest in yourself more, because I see it differently. There's two things to the story. One, I don't have $36,000 to pay an assistant. The first thing you do is hire an assistant. The truth is, you don't need $36,000 in the bank to hire someone, especially in the beginning. It's never going to happen. You got to hustle your face off for a while. You got to generate a little bit cash. You got to start learning about understanding how to lose money. It's okay to lose money because it's a trick to your brain. If this individual 3,000amonth, am I losing money or am I earning money? It depends on how you see it.
