At 21 Years Old I Was Over A Million Dollars In Debt

Yet, in less than ten years I went from barely being able to pay rent... having to ask my mom to remortgage our family home and face complete public humiliation…

To having helped 200+ Entrepreneurs scale past 7+ figures and collectively generate billions of dollars in revenue with my customers, having my work seen by tens of millions of people, owning a portfolio of over 50 businesses and becoming a decamillionaire.

But it wasn’t an easy journey.

During my early years, I had a lot of success.

Even building my first 7-figure business before 18.

Then everything started going wrong when I overinvested in a business venture.

I hadn’t “lost” yet… which meant I didn’t know how to handle a failing business burning through cash.

It ultimately led me to sell everything to pay off the debt–and it still wasn’t enough.

I lost everything and it nearly broke me.  

But what I gained, are the skills and strategies to bounce back from nothing to achieving more success than most have in a lifetime.

And the reason this is important now… perhaps more than ever?

Here’s Everything You’re Getting When You Secure Your Copy Of Million in the Red Today

WHO IS SCOTT OLDFORD?

I'm Scott Oldford and I have helped over 200 businesses scale past 7-figures. Today I spend the majority of my time as a mentor, advisor and investor, alongside being the CEO of The Wisdom Group and helping Entrepreneurs scale their businesses while remaining in harmony and balance.

I’ve been scaling businesses since I was 16 and that’s also when I hit my first million dollar year. This initial high and feeling of invincibility led me to over-investing in a business venture, mismanaging all of my money and falling into a million dollars worth of debt by 21.

In the following years, I crawled out of debt and built a hugely successful online brand, helping others do the same and ultimately becoming a decamillionnaire today.

Install The Unconventional Wealth-Building “Blueprint” That Allowed Me To Go From Burnt Out, A Million Dollars In The Red… To Scaling Multiple 7+ Figure Businesses, Thriving and Becoming A Deca-Millionaire In Less Than 10 Years

100’s of Entrepreneurs have used this proven process, frameworks, mindset hacks and strategies to finally get their money right, and create their dream life.

[ EXCLUSIVE  ]  My NEW Book Million In The Red Is Out Now:

My Name’s Scott Oldford And I Was Over A Million Dollars In Debt At Just 21…

Yet, in less than ten years I went from barely being able to pay rent... having to ask my mom to remortgage our family home and face complete public humiliation…

To having helped 200+ Entrepreneurs scale past 7+ figures and collectively generate billions of dollars in revenue with my customers, having my work seen by tens of millions of people, owning a portfolio of businesses and becoming a decamillionaire.

But it wasn’t an easy journey.

During my early years, I had a lot of success.

Even building my first 7-figure business before 18.

Every Single Day I Mentor, Advise And Talk To Entrepreneurs…

Some of them are drowning in debt…
Some of them have never made so much money in their life…

Some of them feel guilty that they are making so much…
Some of them don’t know what to do with all of the money…

Some of them are wondering when things will go from down to up…

Some of them have built a house of cards…

Some of them are listening to financial guru’s whose advice is terrible for Entrepreneurs…
Some of them are dealing with their wife’s or their husband's money mindset…

But in all cases.

The mindset, the strategy, the tactics, the frameworks for being able to understand money as an Entrepreneur…

…isn’t taught in an accessible way that from what I’ve seen..

Everything I’ve Learned Has Been Passed Down By Mentors, From First-Hand (Painful) Experiences Or From Paying A Handful Of Very High Level, Specialized Experts

These are unconventional strategies that go against everything “society” knows about money.

As an Entrepreneur, we aren’t the same as everyone else.

That’s why we can’t follow their rules.

Because when I look at everything I’ve seen from the mainstream gurus and what the vast majority of society says? 

Well…

If I listened to it…

I’d still be back in Canada in a basement apartment trying to make ends meet instead of:

• Living in a $7 million dollar compound
• Travelling the way I want (first class at worst, private at best)
• Driving any supercar I like
• Taking care of my family
• Living the way I want, with who I want
• Living a life of true freedom without thinking about the cost

All while not needing to work more than 20 hours a week…

Oh, and I love what I do… 98% of the time ;) 

That’s Why I’m So Excited About The Release Of My Brand New Book – Million In The Red – So I Can Share The Processes, Mindset Hacks And Wealth Strategies You Need To Crush It

Learn the real stuff Entrepreneurs need to radically grow their income, get outsized results “society” will never have… 

And not just KEEP it… but multiply it.

Once you use these strategies for yourself, it will allow you to exit the non-stop grind, live in flow and enjoy the rewards of your work.

After The Success Of My First Book, The Nuclear Effect That Sold Over 75,000 Copies And Helped Countless Entrepreneurs Scale Their Online Businesses…

I knew the next one had to go deeper into two of the 6 ‘Pillars of Scale’ that I outlined in Nuclear Effect.

Those 6 pillars were Marketing, Sales, Product & Delivery, Operations & Team, Finances and Mindset.

Together they allow any business to scale past 7-figures without having to guess or chase shiny objects. 

However, it’s the Finance and Mindset pillars that determine if an Entrepreneur reaches their full potential or falls short.

I was only able to skim these topics in TNE. 

To give it the proper attention it needs, so any Entrepreneur can take those strategies and transform their business… 

To give it the proper attention it needs, so any Entrepreneur can take those strategies and transform their business… 

…it needed its own book and that’s how Million in the Red came about. 

The 1,800,000,000
 Problem

Million in the Red is For
Any Entrepreneur Who…

Feels overwhelmed, overworked and like the dream of Entrepreneurship might just be a dream. That it’s more stressful than anything else and sometimes the mountain seems just too steep.

Understands that the old way and the old mindset of money won’t work for being able to go into the future.

Listens to the so called “guru’s” on money but it just doesn’t make sense to them…because it doesn’t leverage the full power of strategies & instruments available to business owners.

Believes that money isn’t just money, but it is energy. And who have seen first hand that as they better understood the flow of energy, the more abundance and opportunity came into their life.

You’re Going To Be Among One Of The First Entrepreneurs To Get Million In The Red

All 90,000 words I crafted for an Entrepreneur who’s ready for a massive upgrade in their internal financial operating system. 

Not through charts and savings with envelopes…
But leaning into that creative, crazy, erratic, visionary side of who you are.

And building your financial operations system.
Not from how your accountant sees it.

But how a true Entrepreneur does.

In this book I wrote the most important lessons I wish I could’ve given to a 21 year old me.

Million In The Red Is
Divided Into 4 Main Parts:

SECTION 1 I A MILLION IN THE RED

This is how everything started. I take you through parts of my life I’ve never shared before. All of my wins leading up to and including the day everything came crashing down and I found myself in a million dollars of debt.

There are a lot of lessons in this early chapter. My hope… is that it will bring awareness to your conscious mind so you can avoid what I did.

SECTION 2 I CORE FRAMEWORKS FOR FINANCIAL SUCCESS

Across 12 chapters I go through 12 concepts that have changed the way I look at money. These are strategic, highly tactical that you can start implementing today and see immediate shifts in you and your business.

SECTION 3 I SELF MASTERY FOR ENTREPRENEURS

When you’re in a million dollars worth of debt, it becomes tough to move forward. Not because of the debt but the emotional weight that comes with it. I was terrified of failing again and I didn’t trust myself to make the right decisions.

This was paralyzing. And the problem is, you can’t be successful without trusting yourself. You can’t love yourself. And that means you’ll struggle to love others. There’s this constant, incessant nagging voice that tells you “you can’t do it, you will fail again”.

This entire 15 chapter section is my journey of breaking free from this, learning to finally handle my emotions and turning it into my strength. I’ll also give you practical exercises to help you walk through this and come out the other end stronger than ever before.

SECTION 4 I FINANCIAL MASTERY FOR BUSINESS OWNERS

How do you structure your financial accounts? What’s your cash strategy and how you look at inflation? Do you use credit & debt? These are all the tactical parts of finance that often get overlooked by business owners at all levels.

But if you want to build a strong and healthy company, everything here is a must-know. Whether or not you need to implement everything now or later.

This is everything an Entrepreneur needs to figure out if you ever want to get off the hamster wheel and find true harmony and alignment. 

I promise if you follow this process you’ll not only know how to make more money… but KEEP it.

How to hedge yourself against the current, massive levels of inflation (and how to turn this into an advantage as an Entrepreneur).

How to use external investments as an Entrepreneur who has a business that has exponential potential.

A series of mindset shifts that helped me create massive progress and returns that are completely against traditional "advice".

How to manage the costs of your business, increase margins, invest in 3, 6, 12, 24 months increments.
 
How to plan advertising and marketing budgets (and how to pay yourself in the most effective way possible)

How to use credit, debt and savings, when you double-down and when to take it and run.

When I couldn’t see a way out of the darkness I found myself in.

Whether you’re struggling right now and don’t know what to do next to bounce back and win…

Or whether you’re doing well and want to accelerate that…

Whatever you’re looking for, my goal is to give you tools, strategies, and the mindset required to achieve everything you want – in less time than you thought possible.

And I’m certain, that for just the $100 investment…

…what you learn here will be worth many times that and more.

I’m excited for you to see what’s possible for you.

You’re Going To See My Full Story–Stuff I’ve Never Shared Before…

From being an early achiever… running my family's selling business aged 8…

To building and managing a global team of contractors which led to my very first 7-figure web development business–all before I could even legally drive a car.

In short, I got everything I wanted, won awards, built a reputation for myself…

And then….

10 years later, I’m now a decamillionnaire (over $10 million networth), built hundreds of successful businesses–and shown others the path.

And while being a “millionaire” feels mystical if you don’t have it.

Maybe even $10 million.

I promise it’s not. In fact there’s a pattern. A structure. A method. And a mindset.

And I’m going to break it down for you.

 Problem

Here's Just Some Of What You'll Learn

Why listening to your spouse, friends, family (and even so-called “experts”) on money is one of the worst things you can do as an Entrepreneur (and what to do instead).

The single biggest mistake MOST entrepreneurs make when they start earning more (avoid doing this or it could set you back years)...

How to develop a powerful Inner Money Mindset that works FOR you… allowing you to balance your entrepreneurial self, your goals, vision and purpose–when I discovered this balance, that’s when I truly developed harmony and alignment in my journey.

How to go from scarcity-minded to abundance-minded (this will help you stop hoarding cash and begin to use it wisely while keeping the money flowing).

Taking profit from your business? Make sure to have a purpose attached–because this should be your priority before you do it.

My techniques to prepare for and handle large unexpected tax bills–how to communicate this effectively to your suppliers and anyone affected. 

A simple framework to decide when you should invest back in your own business versus externally.

How inflation impacts entrepreneurs differently versus fixed income jobs. This is how you use it to your advantage to win big.

 
How to use the "investor personality" to balance spending vs saving. This mindset shift helps distance you from money emotions–allowing you to focus on the most optimal path forward.

The trick to balancing short-term fires with long-term vision so you don’t sacrifice future growth potential (you don’t want to divert all resources into one small thing and find out later you don’t have what you need when you need it).

 
How to kill common entrepreneurial addictions like chasing the next launch–so you can build sustainable positive habits that actually help you achieve your goals.
