Best way to make more $$, keep more of what you make.

If you own a property and pay taxes on it... You're gonna wanna read this bad boy. (earmuffs govt)

How to apply for and get agricultural tax credits by selling $1500 plants a year?
If you own a home in Texas let's say it's worth $1M.
You're paying almost $20k a year in property taxes. Yikes.

So when my bud Cody told me I'm an idiot and forgot something I listened....

He said you could get 25-75% off your tax bill by selling some leafy greens...
Since Cody is no slouch - he runs multiple 7 fig businesses while hunting something like 200 days a year, my ears perked.

HE HAS IT FIGURED THE F OUT.

*then let us know what we missed* @baldridgecpa since you're the man on taxes!
So here's how I see it:
- You can do this w/ animals but ya know... those are work
- For a nursery you sell $1500 worth of plants a year to get the credit
- Aka not much to turn liability = asset
- could be a whole post on layering rev streams & tax credits on your casa
How Cody's playing it:
- Aspens in Montana (his home) sell for $400
- In Oregon sell for $100
- See if shipping costs/allowances are reasonable
- Then get pre-orders for trees in MT
- Ship when order big enough
- 300% arbitrage
- & write off his VERY large ranch property
How I'm going to play it?
- we're building a tiny house on 1 property
- I'm gonna add a tiny greenhouse ($600 on amazon)
- I inked a deal w/ my mom in law, she's the distributor
- started an etsy shop, she's gonna sell sucky's to the masses
- We need a name - ideas??
Long story short if I can make $20k from growing plants I now pay hundreds for a month... just call me Farmer Sanchez.
Also, we're dropping a thread a day for the next 30 days (generally on cash-flowing business ideas) so make sure to SMASH that follow button so you don't miss ANY of these

Wall Street has one rule:

Never start what you can buy.

Here’s everything you need to know about buying a biz in 2025 (full guide):
While 90% of startups fail, 80% of acquisitions survive the first year.

88% of people worth $30M+ have done at lease one acquisition.

That means the best way to get rich isn’t to start a business like they love to tell us.

The best way to wealth with the highest degree of certainty is through acquisitions.
The average small business owner in the US is 67 years old. When you’ve run a business for 10+ years, you're bound to be exhausted.

These owners are motivated to sell by what I call the 7 D's:

- Departure
• Divorce
• Disease
• Disagreement
• Distress
• Death
• Dullness

They’re desperate to exit the game but don't know how. That’s where YOU come in.

You don’t need an MBA or tons of money to start a business.

I recently had Chris Koerner on the pod and he showed me three regular 6-figure side hustles anyone can start THIS weekend.

Here they are (with real examples): Image
Porch Decorations

Rich people want their houses to look amazing, but they're too busy (or lazy) to do it themselves.

That’s where this mom Chris found comes in:

- She buys wholesale pumpkins by the truckload
- Decorates porches
- Films it on her iPhone and uploads to Instagram

She charges $600-1,300 per porch and makes $1M+ a year from this side hustle.

Isn’t that wild?
You can expand this beyond pumpkins to:

- Christmas decorations
- Easter displays
- Quarterly flower swaps

All you need to start is $500 for supplies and an Instagram account.

You'll probably be working weekends. But find me a business without problems.

I’m obsessed with laundromats.

I've made more money from dirty laundry than most finance bros make on Wall Street.

Here’s the playbook I always use to find profitable laundromats:
Quick disclaimer…we’re going to skip a few steps today.

We’re jumping right into the part of the biz buying process where you’ve found a biz that you could buy…

Now we’re going to check if you SHOULD buy it.

Follow these 5 steps:
Step 1. Use my deal calculator

The difference between buying a cashflowing biz & a lemon:

Good financials.

Most buyers get emotional and skip the numbers.

But that's how you end up with a $200K washing machine graveyard.

Meet Taylor Sheridan.

15 years ago, he was sleeping in a tent and got rejected by every production company.

Today, he owns a $500M empire and charges Paramount to film on his ranch.

Here’s his story (and what you can learn from it): Image
Most people think you need money to make money.

Taylor Sheridan (and countless others) prove that’s false.

You need LEVERAGE to make money.

Here's the Leverage Ladder framework Taylor Sheridan used to build his wealth:
1. Create Something Of Value

At 40, Taylor was the poster child for struggling actor. Then he had a few hits, Sicario being one… but that did not make an empire.

So, instead of waiting for someone to discover him, he wrote a drama about a rancher protecting his land and he changed his deal structure.

Nobody cared though.

HBO and every major network passed on his script.Image

If you follow where rich people put their money, you’ll never go broke.

Here's the unsexy asset class private equity billionaires & millionaires are flocking to:
For decades, PE meant massive funds buying massive companies:

• KKR buys RJR Nabisco for $25B
• Blackstone acquires Hilton for $26B
• Apollo takes Harrah's private for $27.8B

The formula was simple: Big money buys big companies, adds big debt, cuts costs. Image
But now? These same Wall Street sharks are swimming downstream - raiding Main Street and buying...

• Your local car wash chain
• Boring IT providers with 20 employees
• That HVAC company with the annoying radio ads

And they're not being quiet about it…

I just heard an acquisition story that made my heart melt.

Meet Cody:

• 6-year veteran
• #2 at a production company in California
• Runs the show while his boss lives in Utah

Here’s how he went from employee to owner of a biz in 90 days:
After 12 years of building someone else's empire, Cody landed on our content about ownership.

He’s been leading operations at a production company so he definitely has experience running a business.

So I don’t blame him when the idea of ownership struck a cord with him.
At the time, Cody and his wife had been saving for a house so it wasn’t like they had tons of extra cash laying around.

But after having a chat, they decided to use their house fund to buy a cashflowing business instead.

Not an easy task. But nothing worth doing ever is…
