What it really takes for 1M1B

3 months ago I declared two goals:

  • One ‘basic’ goal of fully automating my marketing by Dec 2026.

  • Another moonshot goal of achieving 1M1B within my lifetime.

The moonshot is a…moonshot. But I figure it doesn’t cost anything to dream. And if I can dream, there’s a non-zero chance that it will succeed.

Non-zero is infinitely more than ‘zero’ - so I’m taking it.

It’s been three month since and I’ve learned a lot in the process. I’ve made a lot of progress, even if most of the progress is invisible.

The kind of work I’ve been doing is foundational. Because the math doesn’t check out if I am building a linear machine.

I need an AI corporate army, not a collection of automations to make 1M1B happen.

So today, I did a ‘build in public’ check in. I recorded a video.

I laid down the good, the bad, and the ugly. And all the lessons I’ve learned along the way about what I THINK it really takes to build a 1M1B business.
