3 Value Bombs
1) If you want to build a business, go to a bank instead of asking for outside investors’ help. Investors will want to have a share in your company.
2) Never think about your IQ. Your IQ does not make you successful. FQ is essential – Failure Quotient: It is the number of times you can fail and come back.
3) Keep failing until you don’t fall anymore.

Today’s Audio MASTERCLASS: The Truth Behind Launching Companies with Vinnie Tortorich
[1:00] – Vinnie shares something interesting about himself that most people do not know.
- Financial health has always been as important – or more – as fitness for Vinnie.
[4:01]- How were you able to start a vitamin company with no outside investors?
- If you want to build a business, go to a bank instead of asking for outside investors’ help. Investors will want to have a share in your company.
- Vinnie wrote a book called Fitness Confidential, and it was a success. This gave him the money that he needed to start his vitamin company.

[10:17] – The movie “Fat: A Documentary” went to number one on iTunes and Amazon… What made you think you could even make a documentary?
- He did not think he could. He fought against it the entire time.
- He did not want to fund it because he was not confident it would succeed
- He agreed to do a crowdfunding campaign and made a quarter of a million dollars.
- Since Vinnie did not use his own money for the project, he hustled harder than ever; he did not want to let people who supported him down.
