What's one mistake you've made in business that taught you a valuable lesson?

I was just sitting in my office today, looked out the window, and had one of those moments where you stop and think... "What is life?" Right now, I'm building two AI bots for clients. Combined project value: $28,000. One is running on a VPS. The other is being built from the Mac Mini sitting on my desk. I've got AI helping me build AI, I'm reviewing content for this week, listening to a podcast, and just locked in on the work. Then I thought back to where I was just three years ago. My wife and I were doing Instacart for 10 hours a day. We were making $5K–$7K a month and putting everything we could back into building our Amazon business while helping clients with their credit. Most days, I was working out of my Honda. Today, I'm working from a three-bedroom penthouse. Life can change a lot faster than you think when you stay consistent, keep learning, and keep showing up. Sometimes it's good to pause for a second—not to celebrate that you've arrived, but to appreciate how far you've come. What's one win you've had this year that you're grateful for? Big or small. I want to hear it. Link: https://www.facebook.com/reel/922756040214649

Still catching up from the weekend? Putting out fires? Trying to do everything yourself? That's usually not a time management problem... It's a leverage problem. If you want to scale your business, you have to stop hiring based on hope and start hiring with a process. Here's a simple framework I use: ✅ 1. Get their resume. Make sure you understand their experience and whether it aligns with the role. ✅ 2. Ask for a 1–2 minute Loom video. Especially if you're hiring remotely, this tells you far more than a resume ever will. You get to see how they communicate, how they present themselves, and whether they're a good fit. ✅ 3. Don't create the job description from scratch. Record a Loom explaining everything you want this person to own in your business. Then use AI to turn that into a job description and interview questions. Remember... As the CEO, your job isn't to do everything. Your job is to build a team that can. 👇 Which best describes where you are today? I'm still doing too much myself. I've started building a team and delegating consistently.

My belief in mentorship is simple. When you pay for mentorship, you’re really paying to avoid the most common mistakes people make — so you can get to making money faster. For me personally, investing into knowledge and learning has been one of the best investments I’ve ever made. Because the truth is… You either: - learn it slowly through trial and error - or learn it faster through people who already made the mistakes And here’s the part most people don’t want to accept: You have to be willing to stay consistent in learning until the “L” falls off and you start earning. That gap between learning and earning is where most people quit. But the more skills you build, and the more information you absorb, the better positioned you are long-term. This game rewards people who don’t just consume information… but actually apply it. 👇 Where are you right now? A: I’m actively investing in mentorship and speeding up my growth B: I’m learning on my own and figuring things out step by step C: I’m still trying to build everything without structured guidance Video link: https://www.tiktok.com/@carringtonpierre/video/7654574671693712653
