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?

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.
How To Predictably Scale Wealth Without Sacrificing Everything You Enjoy…
Using The Only System Created For Entrepreneurs That Allows You To Build, Preserve and Multiply Your Money
For Entrepreneurs Looking To Get off The Money Hamster Wheel:
I'm Scott Oldford and I went from being over a million dollars in debt to becoming a decamillionaire ($10m+ net worth) in less than 10 years…
all without following traditional "get rich slow" advice.
And whether you’re in debt or your business and your finances aren’t where you want it to be yet…
I can give you the strategies to change that in the next few minutes.
And if I followed traditional money advice?
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…
Here’s Why The Traditional Path Keeps You Stuck
The conventional wealth-building path looks something like this:
• Work a stable job for 40+ years
• Save 10-15% of your income religiously
• Invest in a diversified portfolio of index funds
• Buy a house and pay it off over 30 years
• Retire when you're 65-70 with enough to live modestly
This path might work for some, but it has fatal flaws for entrepreneurs.
It's painfully slow!
Most of us didn’t get into entrepreneurship, enduring all the stress just so we reach financial freedom in 40 years
INTRODUCING:
Million In The Red
Million in the Red is the only system created to help entrepreneurs increase their financial confidence, overcome money mindset blocks and build true lasting wealth.
It will show you how to manage money the same way I do, so you can…
- Live an abundant lifestyle without guilt…
- Make financial decisions with complete confidence…
- Break free from the entrepreneurial hamster wheel…
- Build sustainable wealth that lasts…
- Create harmony between your business and personal finances…
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.

And I thought so too…
…until I woke up one day and realized that would never be possible for me.
Because on that day I was a million dollars in debt from a business venture gone wrong…
Most People Would Say You Have To Save Everything, Ruthlessly Cut Expenses, Invest 10% And Buy Real Estate In Order To Build Wealth
Which means having to cut back on anything and everything that makes life fun, hoping that one day you make it.
But the worst part of this employee “wealth plan”?
It ignores your greatest asset.
As an entrepreneur, your business can deliver returns of 100%, 200%, or even 500%+ on invested capital.
And when you have the ability to take calculated risks… leverage expertise… and scale quickly… your entire business and life can change in a few short years.
I’ve seen this first-hand in my own life.
Getting out of a million dollars in debt and achieving a $10m+ net worth in less than 10 years…
Along with mentoring 100s of entrepreneurs scale past 7-figures, many having their first million dollars liquid in the bank…
And many more exiting their businesses while building a life of true harmony and fulfillment
And With Cost Of Living Increasing Year On Year, The ‘Get Rich Slow’ Dream Is Getting Further And Further Away

The 1,800,000,000
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.
“Your wisdom is essential to me at this stage especially. Thank you for all that you do.”
“I love everything so far, its been so helpful in shifting my mindset! Appreciate you!”
“A big learning point for me since repeatedly learning from you is Self Trust. To trust the creation and value that’s flowing from my heart/soul”
“The addiction to chaos section. It made me realize to let go of needing to know everything and just be present with my business. Let it speak to you.”
“I am very, very grateful for all of this Scott. As beyond helping people become affluent you are giving us the tools and perspective to ease, solve and heal such a deep web of shame and pain… Hell yeah!
"Your book is desperatley needed in the world. Someone needs to bring these topics to the surface."
Oh, and I love what I do… 98% of the time ;)
But Once You Make These Shifts, Scaling Your Wealth Becomes Easier Than Ever Before…
You'll go from constant financial stress to predictable wealth creation…
So you can build a life of true freedom that most people only dream about.
Even if you're currently struggling with debt, inconsistent income, or you’re making a ton of money but have nothing left to show…
And when you do this, it will free you to make decisions based on what you actually want, not what you can afford.
So how can you do this?
It All Comes Down To Just Two Things
Two things… that when applied to you and your business, allow you to multiply your net worth in months and years… not decades, just like me and many of those I’ve shared these strategies with.
They are:
1. Entrepreneur-specific financial strategies
2. Mastering your wealth-building mindset
Fix these two things and it’s possible to radically improve your business and your financial situation.
And if you’re reading this, I’m sure you want to know how to do this, without having to figure it all out yourself.
That’s why I wrote my newest book, Million in the Red.
You’re Getting Finance & Business Scaling Strategies You Can’t Find Anywhere Else…
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.
The only way for the average Joe to access this information is to find themselves in the right rooms… or pay multiple 6 figures for help. Something that’s simply not available for most people.
But today you don’t have to do that.
All you have to do is open up Million in the Red and inside of its 343 pages, you’ll 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.
You’re Getting A Clear Roadmap To Achieving Your Dreams Without Having To Sacrifice Your Personal Life And Your Family To Do It…
And feel safe & secure…
Knowing what you implement today will mean in 5 or 10 years… you won’t NEED to work again–unless you choose to.
