Improving skills opens up new opportunities: Developing diverse skills can lead to better backup plans and higher income opportunities.
Developing a diverse skill set can significantly impact your ability to adapt and bounce back from adversity. In the speaker's experience, as their skills improved, so did their potential plan B options. Before starting a gym, their backup plan was to drive for Uber and work as a stripper, which would have netted around $200,000 a year. However, as they learned new skills like sales, their backup plan evolved to making over $200,000 a year at a car dealership. With even more skills in lead generation, working leads, making offers, and presenting them to prospects, the speaker was able to make a similar income by offering services to local businesses. Even after losing everything, the speaker was able to quickly regain their footing and income by applying their skills in a new way. Overall, continuously learning and improving skills can provide a safety net and open up new opportunities.

Starting with a small investment can lead to big profits: Starting with little money, investing wisely, and acquiring valuable skills can lead to profitable business opportunities
Having some initial capital can give you an advantage in business deals, allowing you to take on more risk and potentially earn more rewards. However, if you have no money, you can still make a deal by asking the other party to cover the expenses and splitting the profits afterwards. The speaker shares an example of how he started with a small investment and turned it into a profitable business by spending $100 a day on ads and closing sales. Through this process, he was able to make significant profits and eventually hire employees to expand his business. However, the most valuable asset, according to him, is the acquisition of skills, which cannot be taken away and provides a sense of security that money cannot.
