In this segment, Shanli Liu, CPA, CTP, warns international entrepreneurs that the common belief that moving to the United States guarantees rapid wealth is misleading. She emphasizes that foreign founders will face direct competition from established American businesses, and tactics that succeeded abroad—such as the hype around Deadline Funnels or current SEO strategies—may already be outdated in the U.S. market. Liu advises founders to first grow their ventures within familiar markets and proven methods before attempting to acquire U.S. customers or talent, arguing that this approach reduces risk and aligns with realistic market dynamics.

One of the big downsides of being an international entrepreneur is that everyone assumes that if you come to America, you're somehow just going to like get rich and you're going to crush it. But you forget you're also competing against Americans. And I don't say that as a, as a, like a, you know, beating our chest because the thing is, is that if you take everything we do and go to anywhere else in the world, you're 5 years ahead. So if you were like, dude, Deadline Funnels are crushing it. It's like, yeah, that's 5 years ago, right? Like SEO is back. So I would rather you just like focus on growing the business within the constraints of what you already know and operate rather than trying to get American customers, get American talent, and the tactics that you teach probably might not work in America. They work better there.
