#130: Andrea Lake: From 1.2 Million in Debt, Paying it Off, and Coming Back Stronger

Profit With Purpose by Anna Goldstein

Andrea Lake has started 14 companies. Without a college degree. She started her first business at 17 called Rhythm Styx. When she was 23 she made her first $1 million dollars with a t-shirt company. Amongst all the success lies the failures. A series of unfortunate events led to her being $1.2 million in debt. Right when the economy crashed. You have started 14 businesses. That’s incredible and you don’t have a college degree. How did you get started? Did you always know that you wanted to be an entrepreneur? Andrea found the idea of working for someone else terrifying. She started the Rhythm Styx company when she was 17. When she was making the decision to go to college, she realized that she already knew how to make money. Her company had already made over $75000. She decided to focus on her business. A few years later she met someone making $1 million a year selling t-shirts, so she decided to start a clothing company. She started her first clothing line, Anti-establishment Clothing and made her first $1 million at 23. So did that person become your mentor? Was there any competition? That person did become Andreas mentor but t-shirts are what Andrea calls a bottomless market as everybody needs t-shirts, so there wasn’t any competition between them. What did that mentor do to guide you from $75000 to $1 million? That’s a huge jump. What changed in you? At the core, it was a change in style of the company from one which manufactured products. With t-shirts she could buy the t-shirts ready made and then just get them printed. What do you think shifted in your mindset? Andrea knew she wanted to be rich. That was her sole focus because it would mean she would be free to do whatever she wanted with her life. She didn’t know how she was going to achieve this. Did you ever feel like you made a mistake by not going to college? In her 30’s she realized that one of the reasons for going to college is having access to the alumni network. But if she was to do life again she still wouldn’t go to college. Unless you are going to college for a highly specialized education which is monetized afterward, college probably isn’t worth it. Did your parents put pressure on you to go to college? They did. Both of her parents had been the first person in their families to go to college. They both went back to college after Andrea was born to pursue masters degrees. There was an expectation that Andrea would go to college. But she sat down with her parents and showed her what her company was making. So you built your case for why you didn’t need to get to college and it sounds like they supported you? They did and when Andrea started her clothing line they gave her the money they had saved for college. One of my passions is dispelling this myth that you need to get a conventional education to achieve what you want. Especially entrepreneurs. Definitely. Andrea has taught at colleges across the country and thinks that unless you are going to a school like Harvard, it’s not worth it. An MBA is going to teach you how to work in the corporate world and not how to be an entrepreneur. I know that you’ve had some moments of debt. One where you lost $1.2 million dollars. You paid it all off and came back stronger. Can you tell us that story? Andrea has lost everything twice. She had a company which was featured on Oprah and was told to expect 40000 sales. But through a long series of events, they only had 70 sales. She had personally financed the company. That same week, a company she owned that had licenses for several gaming brands, had $2 million worth of merchandise returned. The following week the IRS called to say she owed 6 figures due to mistakes on the previous years taxes. And then the economy collapsed. It was the perfect storm of circumstances. How did you get through that? How did you feel you came back stronger? It took a long time. Andrea would beat herself up. She would talk to herself worse that she would ever talk to anybody. “How the fuck did you fuck up your entire life? I can’t believe what a fucking idiot you are.” She would talk to herself like that all day every day for 3 or 4 years. None of the things that happened were unwise choices but she couldn’t step back from what happened. So how did you come back? You had such negative self-talk. What did you do that you felt got you out of that mental negativity? Andrea had built an amazing community of friends who helped her get out of it. And she realized she was good at business. Slowly she came back to herself. She strengthened her meditation and yoga practice, continued slowly working on her companies and believed that things would come around. I know you practice the law of attraction. So where did that come into play?  She was actually in a negative space before everything that happened to her businesses. She believes that we vibrationally receive back what we give out. Despite paying herself $750,000 a year, she had negative vibrations around money. She once met a waitress who had 3 kids and had the best money vibration she has come across. It’s an intrinsic thing and doesn’t have to be about how much you earn. She decided to make happiness and self care her focus which then gave her the space to feel good about her companies. I think it’s really interesting when you talk about money vibration. So was that something you would do when you were say hiking – get into a better vibration? The idea is that circumstances and events are going to match the emotional state that you are in. If you’re happy about something good things will come to you. How important do you think strategy is? Strategy is important but you should only create a strategy when you are in a truly inspired place. You know the next right step for your business. You now have a company which teaches people to start t-shirt businesses. I know there’s a formula to that. You’ve mapped out the strategy. If someone wants to start a different business, do you think there is a similar formula? Andrea actually has another company that advises people on the right strategy for their business. There is a lot of generalized information out there. Andrea wanted to connect people to entrepreneurs in the industry they are creating a business in. If you want to start a restaurant, your mentor should be a restaurateur. Is there anything you see which are the main through-lines? There are common success and failure points specifically in product companies. Typically people fail because they misallocate their budget and don’t know how to do a minimum viable product. Testing things online is not enough you have to go somewhere and sell things physically. The information you gain from seeing people interact with your product is invaluable. What do love about business so much? She loves having an idea or concept in her mind and having it come into reality. Especially as she mostly makes physical products. How do you think about time? She doesn’t. She would think about time more if she had regulation around her time but she doesn’t. So it’s not this confined thing, it’s more of an expansive thing. A lot of people have the excuse - “Oh I don’t have time”. You do. If you watch TV, then you have time. How do you think the internet and social media has changed how people run business? It’s so much easier. When she started Sticker Junkie she had to use print ads to get people to visit her website. I want to switch gears a bit and talk about your experience on The Apprentice. How did you get on the show and what was it like? They had been recruiting Andrea from Season 1 but she was too busy running her companies. A mentor recommended she should do it. What’s Trump like to be around? He was very funny and charming. They made each other laugh a lot. What is a question you continuously ask your self? She asks herself if she is happy. What do you unusually discover? That something's not aligned? Andrea believes that it’s usually directional in our own thoughts. She talks about a process from Ester Hicks called The Focus Wheel. You draw a big circle on a piece of paper and in the center write how you want to feel about something. Then write all of the things that feel good about that thing. It’s easy to focus on all the things that are ugly but you can train yourself to focus on the good things too. What other books have been helpful for you? The Four Hour Workweek by Timothy Ferris Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand The Success Principals by Jack Canfield Do you do visualization? She does them every single day. She does something called 7, 7 x 3. You do 7 mins 7 sec of meditation, 7 mins 7 sec of appreciation and 7 mins 7 sec of visualization. When you appreciate, you appreciate things that are easy to appreciate. How much you love a painting or a pen or having hot water. Is there a reason it’s 7, 7 x 3?   Because it looks cool. One of the things that come to mind often is the experience I had at Sonoma Magic. You hosted your retreat there. Are you still doing it? Her next retreat will be in 2020. It’s important to create a network of entrepreneurs around you. It helps to have a bond with people who are experiencing the same issues you are. How do you think you developed that risk tolerance? Andrea has always had quite a high-risk tolerance but it’s easier when you hear stories from entrepreneurs, who you know are successful, dealing with the same things you are. How do you think people can become better at taking risks? Our life is short. It doesn’t matter how long you live for, it is still short. Any amount of time you spend worrying about failure or what other people think of you is a complete waste of you being here right now. Andrea wasted 3 years of life worrying about being a failure. Are you grateful at all for that experience? It taught her how to be emotionally resilient. And the second Andrea started feeling better about things she started having new business ideas. What’s the best advice you’ve ever been given? Put a dollar figure on your time. Do not tell your ideas, in the beginning, to anyone you know does not have your back.

Today's featured guest is Andrea Lake. Back when she was 18, she decided to skip college and just go straight into building a business. Her first business started as small as a business can start, but it still grew pretty quick, especially for someone right out of high school. A few years later, Andrea decided to give clothing a chance and built her first apparel business. I'll let her explain all the various things she did with the clothing lines, but this was also around the time when she had some stickers printed too. In the late 90's, she ended up starting a whole business around just stickers. At the time of this recording, she actually started 14 companies! More recently, she has a new company called Lessons.biz where she teaches others exactly how to build a tshirt empire along side her business partner Dan Caldwell. Dan was a co-founder of the huge clothing brand Tapout, so obviously you know they are more than qualified to be teaching on this topic. Anyways, we talk about various ways to hyper-accelerate a brand, why stickers are like minting money, when to hire people, why competition is a good thing, and how you can easily prove if your business idea is a viable concept or not. There are so many great takeaways from this episode and I've been eagerly waiting to get this one out to you. So without further adieu, here's my conversation with Andrea Lake. Enjoy!

I will never be short of money again. I know that I can just make something and go sell it now. I had very recently quit smoking pot, which made me far more productive. One night, I got a 6-pack of Sierra Nevada, invited over one of my best friends, and sat down and came up with like 200 slogans. And then I chose 98 of them and launched the line with 98 slogans, which is ridiculous, it's way too many, but it worked out well. We had a connection with Blink 182, but they saw my stuff at Warped Tour when they were not famous yet, and they were like, "We love your stuff." And I'm like, "Here's a bag full of stuff, just wear it on stage today." And they felt this loyalty to my brand. Every entrepreneur has this moment where you just feel like your company is gonna fail. And the people that make it in life, and certainly in business, are the people that just keep trying something else and will pivot with it and will not stick really strongly to the concept that they think should work. It's like the Craigslist model, where you don't have to have the most beautiful thing, but you do have to have something that is very functional. Stickers are like magic, it's like minting money. People buy them, you print them for them, they get the stickers, they give them away for free, and then they order more. I created lessons.biz because I was so tired of seeing people on the internet that were making 100% of their money from selling products that just teach people how to make money. Like these people literally don't know how to make money, they know how to con people into giving them money. There is actually a formula on how to run most companies. I think that for me, working on one thing solely is ineffective because I will choke it to death, I will worry about it, I'll obsess on it. Whereas, if I have multiple things going, I can work on whatever feels best in whichever company, and I don't worry as much. I think worrying is a really damaging thing. I think it's underrated because people see it as normal, but I think it's super problematic to spend your time worrying. In general, when you're starting out, until you have a company that's supporting you, obviously you shouldn't spread yourself too thin. If somebody isn't competing against you, there's probably a good reason why it's an ineffective space to be in. If you have something that a million people are doing, it means that a million people want whatever that product is. So you just have to do it better than them, or market better than them. You can pack boxes better than anybody else at your business, but is that how you want to be spending your time today? Put a dollar figure on your time. If it's not something that is making my company money, or something that I truly must do, or something that I love, somebody else should be doing it. If you can't make your business work with a few thousand dollars starting out, it's probably not going to work, and more money isn't the answer. Make money first. If you can make money first, then you know you have a viable concept. You have to prove your concept first. And you have to know that your concept is something that people will actually pick up their wallet out of their pocket and take money out of it and hand it to you. Not just tell you that they'll buy something, but actually physically buy something. I knew nothing when I started out, and I went about it the really hard way. You will hyper accelerate the growth of any company if you're surrounded by like-minded people that are entrepreneurs, even if they have really diverse business backgrounds compared to you. I think every entrepreneur should have a really good filter between what they're thinking and what they actually say. The day that you launch your website is the worst it's ever gonna look, because you're going to improve upon it from there. And then we extended that out and said, the day that you launch any business is the worst that that business is every going to be. So stop waiting until everything is perfect. Just launch something and start making money and then correct from there. Don't be good, don't be great, it is your job to be extraordinary and become irreplaceable. I self-financed all of my companies which is possibly the biggest risk and I ended up severely in debt because of it.   Thanks for listening Be sure to subscribe to the podcast here and I can't wait to share the next episode with you soon!

The best entrepreneur advice you will ever hear from today's ambush interview with Andrea Lake. This will help you redefine how to approach starting your new business.    Today the nice guys talk to Andrea Lake who runs Stickerjunkie.com among other businesses. We can't even call this an "interview", because it's more like a bunch of friends hanging out and talking about business, and this is exactly why Doug does all the interviews alone, otherwise we our guests would never get a word in.   Things we learned from Andrea:    • Never ask a woman her age, and never ask a monkey what he's smoking.  • Sticker Junkie was started as an accident, because of demand from customers. • The secret of her success is hiring amazing people. • Hire the right people, and do whatever it takes to keep them happy (didn't we say that on episode 31, "Hire the right people"?...) • The harder you work, the more lucky you get, they go hand in hand. • Don't get overwhelmed with the big picture, look at 1 piece at a time.  • The Sticker Junkie Monkey is a rough and tumble monkey. He's not politically correct. He's a rebel, unlike Doug.     More about Andrea: • She owns 5 other companies along with Sticker Junkie. • Andrea loves business the way some people love football. • She was on "The Apprentice". • She taught an entrepreneurship class at Harvard. • Her clothing company Delinquent Distribution owns the sales rights to merchandise for Minecraft, World of Warcraft, Call of Duty and The Walking Dead video games. • She is partners with Tap Out clothing founder Dan Caldwell with Lessons.biz, they offer online "rocket ship" courses to teach you everything you actually need to know to start a business. • One of her companies Mentormojo.com is all about how to convert interest into sales, and includes step-by-step instructions from entrepreneurs who are dominating their industries.   • Think you've had it bad? Andrea once had $2 million dollars in merchandise returned, and the same week had one of her companies on Oprah result in 70 sales. No, that's not a typo- An appearance on Oprah only got her 70 sales.    Please visit our very cool sponsor- www.Stickerjunkie.com and use Promo code "niceguys10" to get $10.00 off of any sticker order.   Subscribe to the podcast- https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-nice-guys-on-business/id966086057?mt=2   Ryan Deiss- www.digitalmarketer.com Yoga Junkie- www.Yogajunkie.com  www.Lessons.biz - 6 week courses on how to start a business. www.Mentormojo.com - Start learning for FREE!
