My Best Friend and I Run a Billion-Dollar Business, Here’s the Playbook

How do you become successful in your 20s and more importantly, how do you become the person capable of staying there?Uploaded 18-08-26Most people are taught to look at success like a finish line. Make the money. Build the business. Get in shape. Buy the house. Hit the goal.I think that’s completely backwards.A goal is not a level you achieve. It’s a level you learn to live at. In this video, I break down what I’ve learned about ambition, discipline, entrepreneurship, self-development, and building a life capable of handling bigger and bigger goals.Because hitting the goal is only the beginning.I’ve been in the best shape of my life and lost it. I’ve been a great leader for 29 days and let one bad night damage the other 29. And when Bloom had its first million-dollar day, I had the opportunity to celebrate the win or reinvest it and use that milestone as a stepping stone toward something much bigger.Those experiences taught me that **success only compounds when you stop sabotaging it.This video is about building discipline that lasts, eliminating self-sabotage, creating accountability, developing routines that support your goals, and becoming the person capable of sustaining the success you're chasing.There is no single day where you finally “arrive.”You are constantly becoming the person capable of qualifying for the next level.And eventually, if you keep stacking the right decisions long enough, you realize the finish line was never the money, the body, the title, or even the business.The real finish line is becoming a permanent player in a game most people never realize they were allowed to play.If you’re ambitious, building a business, chasing financial freedom, trying to become more disciplined, or figuring out what you should be doing with your 20s, this video is for you.Follow the Generational Run:https://www.instagram.com/greglav/00:00 You’ve Been Lied to About Success01:42 Can You Actually Handle Your Goals?03:40 Why Achieving the Goal Changes Nothing05:20 One Bad Day Can Ruin Everything06:00 The Difference Between Good and Great08:06 Your Reputation Is Built on Your Worst Moments09:21 The 5 Things I Change Every Year11:51 The Accountability Hack That Changed Me13:58 Why You Need a Ritual Routine15:57 The Real Finish Line of Successsuccess in your 20s, how to be successful in your 20s, self discipline, how to become disciplined, how to stop self sabotage, achieving goals, entrepreneurship in your 20s, success mindset, personal development, daily routine for success, accountability, financial freedom, young entrepreneur advice#GregLav #Entrepreneurship #Success #SelfDiscipline #PersonalDevelopment Learn more about your ad choices.

You do not need your entire life to change your entire life.Uploaded 29-07-26You need one decade.One 10-year generational run where you stop negotiating with your potential, lock in, and become the person capable of building the life you actually want.For me, that decade was my 20s.It was not a straight line. For years, we looked like we had no idea what we were doing—because we didn’t. We were making embarrassing content, selling digital products, learning business through failure, and taking swings while almost everyone around us questioned the path.But we kept going.Now at 31, I’m in Greece with my wife, my best friend, our families, and the people I built Bloom with. Not because we got lucky, and not because the road was easy.It happened because we committed to the run.This video is about what becomes possible when you give one decade everything you have. It is about building discipline, staying in the arena, refusing to take your foot off the gas, and understanding that your 20s are not something to waste or sacrifice.They are something to invest.You may not know exactly how long it will take. You may not see results in year one, two, three, or four. But ten years of focused effort can change your life, your family, and every generation that comes after you.You only need one generational run.The question is whether you are willing to start yours.Travel Agency that made everything smooth - https://www.instagram.com/wagnerbespoke?igsh=NmUwOXMwdzhqbnhjCHAPTERS00:00 — You Only Need One Decade00:29 — The Life Built by the Run01:31 — Realizing What Is Possible02:12 — The Years Nobody Sees04:36 — Ten Years Can Change Everything05:26 — Building During the Run06:02 — Influence, Brand, and Long-Term Vision07:49 — Creating a Life You Can Sustain09:32 — Discipline Is Built, Not Given10:27 — Where Our Generational Run Started11:38 — Why People Stop After They Win12:47 — Staying Locked In After Success14:13 — Invest Your 20s15:29 — The Run Is Worth It Learn more about your ad choices.

Most people don't recognize an opportunity until everyone else is already taking advantage of it.Uploaded 19-10-26Building a billion-dollar brand has taught me that some of the biggest opportunities are hiding in plain sight. The difference is whether you're willing to recognize them, take the risk, and get into the arena before everyone else catches on.In this vlog, I'm heading to Las Vegas for one of the biggest convenience store trade shows in the country, where we're working to take Bloom Nutrition to the next level. We're talking with some of the biggest retailers in America, making deals, and figuring out what the next chapter of our generational run looks like.Along the way, I catch up with Christian Guzmán about rebuilding 3D Energy, entrepreneurship, discipline, and what it takes to stay in the game. I also break down one of the biggest opportunities in marketing right now, how to recognize marketing arbitrage, and why I believe it's easier than ever for young entrepreneurs to build something meaningful.We also sit down with The Iced Coffee Hour to talk about making millions, building Bloom from nothing, the mistakes that nearly destroyed our business, and the sacrifices that come with chasing massive goals.Whether you're starting your first business, building your personal brand, or trying to figure out your next move, remember this: you don't need to have everything figured out before you start.Get into the arena. Learn from people ahead of you. Recognize the opportunities in front of you.Your generational run might be closer than you think.Subscribe for more behind-the-scenes access to building Bloom Nutrition, entrepreneurship, business lessons, and the journey of building a billion-dollar brand.Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/greglav/Bloom Nutrition: https://bloomnu.com/00:00 — In this episode00:32 — Building Bloom's Next Billion Dollar Opportunity02:20 — Why Nobody Believed in Our Energy Drink03:30 — Inside the Arena With America's Biggest Brands04:43 — How to Pitch Your Brand to Major Retailers05:30 — Building Relationships That Actually Matter07:22 — The 9-Year Overnight Success09:18 — Making Billion Dollar Business Deals10:34 — The Entrepreneurs Who Inspire Me11:15 — How to Find Your Next Big Opportunity13:45 — You Don't Need to Have It All Figured Out15:17 — The Real Cost of Building an Empire17:27 — Becoming the Person Capable of Success18:32 — Is It Easier Than Ever to Make $1 Million?19:30 — How I Made $100 Million in One Day20:45 — The Mistake That Almost Destroyed Bloom22:23 — Blind Taste Testing the Biggest Energy Drinks23:16 — Why Entrepreneurship Changed My Life24:30 — Learning What You Actually Want in Life25:30 — The Sacrifices Nobody Talks About27:00 — What Really Matters After Success#Entrepreneurship #GregLav #BloomNutrition #BusinessGrowth #BillionDollarBrand #GenerationalRun🎵 Copyrighted music licensed from Lickd. https://lickd.coHand in Glove (2011 Remaster) by The Smiths, https://t.lickd.co/l/jYvRrkwnvWZ🎵 Copyrighted music licensed from Lickd. https://lickd.coMr. Glock by Key Glock, https://t.lickd.co/l/z2l0zvNRKxp🎵 Copyrighted music licensed from Lickd. https://lickd.coIf You Don't Want My Love by Jalen Ngonda, https://t.lickd.co/l/MWXqdvgy310🎵 Copyrighted music licensed from Lickd. https://lickd.coRed and Gold by MF DOOM, King Ghidra, https://t.lickd.co/l/WgZXRdvG1Q4🎵 Copyrighted music licensed from Lickd. https://lickd.coRhymes Like Dimes by MF DOOM, Dj cucumber slice, https://t.lickd.co/l/neB6ky3Vj3p Learn more about your ad choices.
