Or better, acquire a business with all the infrastructure already rocking, and begin by doing the fun stuff – scaling up a business that you know actually works, from 6 figures to 7 figures, and beyond.
You’ve already built a business or two (or ten). Maybe they succeeded, or maybe some failed. You know how most of it works, and you want to make sure you maximize your impact with your next project. I’m here to show you how you can take your resources and skillsets and, instead of linearly grinding out growth, generate 10x, exponential growth. The best part? It’s a formula that you can use again and again, stopping the growth.
You’re influential. You have a portfolio of investments and businesses. Your dinner reservation next Tuesday is with your state senator, and after that you’ll throw bags of money out your window as you drive down the street in your hot red lamborghini (ok ok, maybe not that last part – but a guy can dream, right?)
I will show you how you can acquire entire channels of distribution, expand into complimentary product lines, and absorb entire databases of customers, so these rising tides lift all your boats – or in this case, yachts

The major caveat? You cannot drive the change you wish to see if you haven’t slept or paid yourself a salary for the past 5 years. And if after those 5 years, the markets shift, or a couple small variable change, and you go from barely scraping by, to completely out of business, you not only won’t be able to change the world, you might even be so disheartened that you might be scared out of giving entrepreneurship another go!
My mission in life, is to help people like yourself fully maximize their entrepreneurial potential, and never have to face those kinds of dark days. Trust me, I’ve been there (with my first startup) and it seriously sucks.
