      I’ve seen your other comments before complaining that people have jobs so it’s not fair etc. it is impossible to succeed without some kind of help even if you aren’t homeless or lacking in skills. Every rags to riches story the person was helped by someone at some point. Whether that’s a friend who’s letting you sleep on their couch or a stranger offering you a job. Go watch undercover billionaire and you can see that is in literally every single episode

    These gurus are snake oil salesmen. It’s a lot more complicated than this guy makes it out to be. Limits on subcontracting need to be followed precisely. Certain Sections of the solicitation need to be looked at and followed precisely. Can’t just say: “subcontractor, give me a quote” and you tack on 25%

    I'm a regular viewer of your UA-cam channel and have seen all your videos. Your content is excellent, and I've learned a lot from you. However, I noticed that despite the great quality, your videos aren't reaching the right audience. This is likely due to some SEO issues. Focusing on SEO could help you build a larger fanbase and get your content the attention it deserves. If you ever need any advice or assistance with this, feel free to reach out. Thanks for all the valuable content you share!
