It takes billions to be last

To be the very last company on the Fortune 1000 list you have to have sales of 1.6 Billion dollars annually. Less than that you are not even on the radar.

I hope that gives you some idea of how much money is flowing around. There are 999 companies with sales >= 1.6 Billion a year. There are many more with sales less than that all the way down to your local handyman.

Doing $10 million a year? You are not even a dot on the chart.

There is unlimited opportunity out there. You just have to figure out how to grab some for yourself.

You have a darn good point there!

But the thing is, in my opinion, people want to live their current lifestyle(or target lifestyle) without working another day. At least, that's what I'm aiming.

It's not too difficult to be more profitable than 20% of the companies on that list though! I wonder what it's like to lose $1m or $10m or $100m or $1bn or nearly $10bn?
