$100K/Month Selling These Cocoa Beans... HOW?!
Learn more about Dropbox Business and Business Plus: www.dropbox.com/upflip | Thanks Dropbox for sponsoring this video!
How do you go from selling cocoa on the side to making $100,000 per month? John Nanci did exactly this by launching Chocolate Alchemy, a supplier of cacao beans, roasters, and education for all things chocolate. This chocolate business is the first of its kind, and all it took for John to get started was a $300 bag of beans. The craziest part? He didn’t need to spend a cent on any paid advertisement.
John had a background in science and chemistry, loved experimenting, and was especially drawn to roasting and brewing. When he met with the food engineer from Cadbury and told him his idea to make chocolate from home, the engineer told him it was impossible. John, however, saw it as a challenge.
In this episode, John gives insight on how to achieve an unlimited stream of customers using Autopilot. He also gives the three crucial steps to starting a business yourself, plus the single most important lesson every entrepreneur needs to learn in today’s digital world.

    Dropshipping to me is just scamming people. This, however, is not dropshipping. It effectively adds a middle man that jacks up the price and has no real skin in the game. He added a brand to it which separates it from the regular non-branded ones you get from China.

    So let me get this straight, 200k a year, assuming before tax or costs as you got to make it look good for this video. Then over 40k a year just in basic overhead, plus he said you can't do it alone so at least one employee, so that's another 40k a year lets say. After taxes and other costs he's not even left with a living wage in most states. How is this a great business???

    I'm surprised about the comments. I find this channel very frustrating to watch. Just constant scene changes and fluff comments.

    Lion's mane is good for soaking up broths, so soups, stews, etc. would work great. There's a restaurant near by my place (in Malaysia) that does a ginger soup with lion's mane mushrooms. I've also had them deep fried.. that works too, but it's a better eating experience in broths.

    Lmfao biggest joke ive seen today so far. You tow salvage you will be here, there and then gone by the time you finish your second year. Especially if you finance one of these new trucks. IAA and Copart pay nothing. I wouldnt wish this business on anyone looking to start a new venture. Unless your the only guy in town and can grab police towing you will bleed dry and miss sleep and life events with family on the daily. If you want to work non stop and the truck into the ground then go finance a new truck and run salvage like this guy. Especially now a days the cost of a truck, insurance and fuel is way out of hand. Add piss poor employees and deal with possible damage claims from these employees and these new cars that dont like to roll in neutral along with low spoilers, and fragile suspensions. Its one big cluster fk of garbage. This industry has gone to the way side like so many others. Been involved in towing my whole life and behind the wheel myself almost 20 years. Its has become just in the last decade an awful stressful and even more dangerous endeavor and as soon as feasibly possible I myself and many others are out of this life for good and I will never look back. Also just a unsettling fact at least one tow truck driver is severely injured or killed out on US/Canadian roadways every day. Put that in perspective if you have kids and want to be home for them. 😔
