Person A makes $1,000,000 per year and keeps $750k in cash.
Person B makes $1,000,000 per year, spends $250k and dumps $750k in asset base.
Apply leverage @ 75% LTV = $3M assets.
Over first 12 months here’s what happens:
- $3M turns into $3.2M conservative.
- Debt structured correctly reduces $2.25M to $2.1M
- $200k bump on assets has no debt, pure net worth
- Cash flow created @ 8% on $750k = $60k bump
All in first 12 months = $385k+ and $750k protected against assets.
Off $750k that’s 51% growth rate.
Compound over 5 yrs and you will hate yourself for hoarding cash while players strategically DEPLOY cash.
This is a difficult thing to grasp because it feels safe to hang onto everything but it is counterproductive.
I keep 10% - 15% of my annual earnings in cash and deploy the rest strategically.
MORAL OF THE STORY:
Cash is a tool to be USED not hoarded.
Growth mindset 👑

A day will come when the one thing you will wish for above anything else is the opportunity to go back and do it different.
You will crave, with every fiber of your soul, for the impossible chance to go back & to change things.
You'll dream what it could've been like to be stronger.. what it could've felt like to have courage, to risk something for a worthy cause.
You'll fight off feelings of regret from wasting years of the only life you will ever have while other people went for it.
You will remember ALL the memories, of when you swore you were doing what was "safe" and "prudent" but really you were weak and simply afraid of losing.
In your attempt to never lose you will ensure your greatest loss of all time: having never actually lived...
My journey (x4) and the “ins” and “outs” of how to go from bootstrapped 6-figures to multiple 8-figure empires without using VC.
Easier DONE than SAID — so wish me luck…
✅ ACQUISITION, ECONOMICS, DELIVERY
Everything comes down to those 3 things. Three levers. Pulled correctly = rapid scale, healthy margins & good will delivered to prevent the downside of scale: reputation.
You CAN scale too fast, and you lose raving fans from poor product.
🏆 Sell first, built later…
Our first business had sales (3 of them) before we ever lifted a finger to build the product. Modern examples are modeling, think car deposits (new Ford electric, Cybertruck, etc).
