Nathan Miller made $3 million in revenue last year by cutting distractions and outsourcing everything from laundry to media buying. He values his time at $400 an hour and hires people like his developer Satish to handle low-impact work, freeing himself for strategy and deep work.
What's going on YouTube? I hope you guys are having a wonderful day today. I haven't posted in a while, so I kind of just felt like picking up the camera today and, you know, yapping a little bit and just kind of walking around. I don't want to get in the grass, though, because there's probably dog poop over there. But I kind of want to talk about, like, the importance of minimizing, like, distractions and, like, really locking in and, like, how focused you kind of need to be to, like, experience, like, success and just to, like, not necessarily, like, you have to be, but how it makes it easier. So, quick story about me. Like, obviously you guys know kind of my story. Most of you guys know my story. But, you know, I did like, $3 million in revenue last year. Currently, I'm scaling a brand, a new brand that's doing super well, making lots of profit per day. And yeah, last year when I first started popping off, that was the result of literally, like, two to three, not two to three years, but, like, probably like two years of just going to work, coming home, like, going to the gym and then doing the E Commerce. That's basically all I did. Obviously, like, I used to still play, like, video games a little bit. I used to still, like, do, like, you know, maybe like, some activities and stuff, but I was not, like, partying at all. I just wasn't that type of dude. And I really just, like. I don't know, I just did, like, very few things. Like, I was very, very simple and how. And what I did every day. And honestly, that kind of gave me, like, a pretty big leg up. My hair looks like whatever. I look like a freaking Edgar right now. But that gave me a pretty big leg up because, like, you're just able to be so, like, dialed in and locked in because, like, your mind. And why a lot of people have adh, adhd, and why a lot of people can't even think straight is because they're just constantly filling their brain with noise. Like, you're like, if we're on reels every day or on TikTok every day for watching all this stuff, like, we're not processing the information given to us. We're not, like, actually taking time to think, right? And so it's hard to lock in. It's hard to, like, know what to do. And I'm sure many of you guys experience this. Like, I know for a fact that a lot of people, they just. They get stuck and they're like, I don't know what to do. Like, I don't. They just have too many options in their brain and they don't know where to start. And really, you just need to, like, simplify your life, bro. Like, if you really want to achieve something, it doesn't have to be like, E commerce, but whatever it is, simplify your life. Like, cut out all the unnecessary BS if you really want it. And that's gonna, like, get you there the fastest. You're gonna learn the quickest, and you're gonna be so focused and so dialed. And that's something that I've kind of been really prioritizing, like, recently or trying to prioritize more because I was carried away with a bunch of things and I just didn't feel great about it because, like, I like my body. Like, I just know, like, if I'm not locked in, I'm not doing what I'm supposed to be doing. I just feel like I feel bad. So. Yeah. And something that I've also been doing that I wanted to talk about is outsourcing, bro. Like, I have a pretty crazy team now. It's not like, I wouldn't say crazy, but I have a nice solitude team. I have a creative workflow. I have, like, media buyer. I have Obviously I have VAs and stuff. And all this stuff is really important when you get to scale to, like, start delegating work. And that's something I didn't do for the longest time, but now I'm finally starting to do that. Like, I have even. There's this guy shout out to Satish who like, does like, coding and stuff for me and like, her websites and stuff. And it's like, super important because now, like, instead of like, me spending so much time every day, like, if I wanted to test a product or create ads, like, I'm like, manually doing that work. I could just outsource it. They honestly probably do a better job than I do. And, like, I'm able to actually focus on things that move the needle instead of this kind of busy work tasks. And it's super important. And not even just that, like, guys, I get my laundry done now. Like, it's kind of crazy. I'm starting to have my roommate cook for me. And there's some, like, other things I probably will start doing. It's honestly so, like, it's so valuable because now I don't even have to think about doing laundry, which is sick. It just shows up and shows up at my door folded, right? And that's kind of crazy. You guys might be thinking, oh, that's expensive. Like it's only like 30 bucks. So like, I don't know, maybe to you that's expensive, but like, it is so worth it. Like if I'm making, you know, $10,000 a day, like an hour of my time is worth how much money? Like a lot. I'm not gonna do that math. Like it's an hour of my time's worth like 400 bucks, right? So like, I'm not going to spend a whole hour folding laundry and doing all this like busy work when my time is better spent focusing on the business or focusing on what actually is going to drive results or even focusing on like my brain, like meditating, visualizing and stuff like that, which has been. I've been at another level recently with that. Really been in a good spot when it comes to visualizing and you know, my self image and stuff like that. It's been crazy. But yeah, like, if you are like on the grind and you're on the up, man, just make sure that you're being as effective and efficient as possible. Doing a bunch of work and being super busy all the time doesn't necessarily mean you're being efficient, right? And I feel like that's why I've had a lot of success, is because growing up I've always been like the lazy kid. Like in school, like, I was always really like lazy. But that laziness actually kind of benefited me because I would find like really efficient and effective and like easy ways to get shit done. And that kind of just transferred over and like sometimes, yeah, I still feel lazy. I feel like when I like outsource work and stuff, I'm like, man, I feel like I should just a lazy piece of. But it's honestly the right thing to do and allows me to do these other things and to, you know, even focus on learning more and just focusing on what matters really. So that's kind of the video I wanted to make. It's a short video. I haven't talked to you guys in a while, so say what's up in the comments for me and yeah, I'll see you guys in the next one.
