In The Coming Aristocracy, Oliver DeMille teaches that “mini-factories” are the greatest freedom trend of our time. A mini-factory is “where you do something that has been done historically by institutions, but you do it just as well (or in a way that is preferable for some reason) on a smaller scale.”
Check out the video below with John Nese, soda pop mini-factory owner extraordinaire.
Pay particular attention to his words between 7:40 and 8:48, and 9:34 to 10:35.
The things he’s learned in his business about government regulation are difficult to learn in any other way. As more people develop successful mini-factories and encounter aristocratic regulation and bureaucracy, it will be revealed more frequently and plainly.

That is awesome! I love how he knows so many details of his business. And he’s familiar with the ways that regulation and government hamper not just him, but customers. This man is an inspiration.
Wow, what an amazing fellow! It is true, being an innoventor (my little word for a social leader) really brings to awareness the constraints of freedom in the marketplace set up by the big wigs.
Whether you have a job or not, you need to start some sort of mini factory: don’t worry if you never make a dime! look at me, two years and still at it
Do it for the experience. It will grow you in ways that you cannot imagine. It will bring passion and exhileration to your soul better than any other high.. it will turn you into a rambling fool like myself.. jk but seriously… ok I am done.
keep on innoventin!!!!
