Tanning Salon Don
@TheSalonDon
I quit my $250k finance job at 26 to start tanning salons | Will never push a newsletter or try to monetize this
Day in life of tanning salon owner making 7 figures 9:00am - salons open, wake up and check cameras to make sure everywhere is open 9:30am - run, 20 miles per week average 11:00am - arrive at salon 1, chat with worker, check the rooms are clean, work on my computer for 2…
Extremely overrated -He was going up against farmers and plumbers -He did 4 years in the Caribbean League where he racked up most of his majors -Got murked by Duke of Wellington who isn’t even an all time great -Executed the worst trade deal since the Indians sold Manhattan
Napoleon : > graduates military school at 16 > becomes general at 26 > wins 44/51 major battles > discovers the rosetta stone > overthrows the french government 1x > literally invents canning food > goes undercover boss as a peasant to hear public opinion > crowns *himself*…
Be careful with jokes in business interactions A joke is essentially asking someone to pause and acknowledge how clever you are They can be helpful to lighten the mood during small talk But you can piss people off if you make them fake laugh often
The lack of financial literacy in this country is shocking The “profits” don’t determine employee salary The employer doesn’t even determine employee salary The market makes the salary If the services are more valuable they can get paid elsewhere
Imagine being an employee at a company that has NEVER turned a profit and showing up to work in these shirts.
I made over $100k in an hour from this tweet
Twitter was launched 19 years ago. What is your favorite tweet ever?
ChatGPT is changing the customer complaint industry I have a special email that people can send their refund requests to 99% are people that forgot to cancel so they got charged while they “didn’t use the membership that month” Now it’s just essays of ChatGPT slop and threats
Flying tip: If you eat before everyone else in first class gets their food, nobody networks with you (Also don’t eat the plane shrimp)

Current Trumpism is socially conservative and fiscally liberal
Is it okay to unmatch someone for saying they’re fiscally conservative and socially liberal
I think this is because anyone can get a $10k credit card and not pay it back
people have no idea what life was like before they were born
If everyone can make viral videos then nobody can
Working on a new way to make creative viral videos fast called … ✨ Imagine ✨
This style of hard sell job offer works well for startups but never works for me This person declined the offer yet whenever I say “salary is $25 per hour let me know by EOD” They accept I think tanning salon workers are scared of having any expectations

Even at 28 years old the boyhood euphoria of business wins feels very faded I used to make $2k on an options trade and do a full Tiger Woods fist pump Now if I made $50k in an afternoon I’d just say “nice” and sip my Diet Coke
The perfect interview question is one that all your employees get right but 90% of applicants get wrong Here is mine: Imagine you have 3 tanning rooms. Room 1 has a Tanning Bed Room 2 is a Spray Tan room Room 3 has a Tanning bed A customer with a spray tan membership comes,…
Look at all the people saying “Lab made is the same” In a generation the most beautiful women in the world will be AI Robots married to broke dudes The same debate will take place Only rich people will have real wives yet brookies will say theirs are better (The fake ones…
This natural diamond cost me $50k more than the lab made equivalent The point of a diamond ring is an efficient way to prove you can afford to provide for a wife and family The high price is the entire point of the product Lab made defeats the purpose
An employee negotiating their salary is a great sign I used to get annoyed but every single person that asked for more became a great employee
If you sell to the masses you need a deep understanding of human behavior Engaging with fiction clouds your subconscious and alters your judgement If you need entertainment watch police body cam videos Otherwise remove all fiction from your life
Hope you had a great birthday being unemployed Your gift is still being unemployed

A lot of people do this on a subtler level and wonder why they are going nowhere Want to succeed? Show no emotion
I have seen lots of the day in the life in finance videos and this might be the worst
