55% of the US workforce anticipates looking for a new job soon.

Wages are increasing and companies are struggling to fill positions.

How should business owners handle this?

Time for a thread
The cost for losing 55% of your people is not small.

It can cost six to nine months’ salary to replace EACH employee who leaves.
So if a person makes $40,000 annually:

It’ll cost between $20,000 & $30,000 in recruitment & training costs for a new employee

Now multiply that by half of your team.
What to do?

Well, in my businesses we’re moving to incentive alignment.
That means you make x amount

BUT if you drive revenue, cut costs, or outperform over your goals… you bring in more cash.
For instance: If we do a deal and they:
- find it
- help DD itt
- help close it

They get a cut.
Ex 2: if we launch a product and it does well I give my contractors and employees a % of it that is aligned with their help on the launch.
If they bring in clients they get a cut

If a video outperforms like crazy they get a bonus

If they complete a customer interaction on time and on schedule they get something
Make your humans feel part of the engineering team, not a cog in the machine.

People always ask how I find my deals.

Truth - I'm no genius, it's the grind paired with a net.

Here's how:
Step 1: I got a Twitter DM from the business - they wanted me as a customer

Step 2: I loved the pitch and the niche, so I became a client

After a few months, I realized their service was awesome but operations were sh*t #toughlove

Lesson I wish I learned earlier:

One day of showing up can change it all.
A secret... I still pinch myself at who is coming to uncon.

Why?

Because maybe 8 years ago I went to @noahkagan SumoCon and it opened an entire new world to me.

My biggest wish, is to create that for another.
I have since built businesses w/ people I met there.
- Made investments
- Become buds w/ Noah and his team

And it gave me the first courage to break out of an industry I hated (wall st) and learn all these humans have incredible careers I've never even considered.

Here's our blueprint, may be worth ripping off:
We generated $50k in rev PRELAUNCH
- w/ no employees, investors
- no ads ever
- really no fing idea what we were doing

Now it'll do $1M+ in ARR.
@uacquisitions

What I learned...
Step 1: Choose a topic
Framework: 4 P's find where..
- People: interested already (ie big FB groups on subject)
- Profits: ways to make people $ (we like that)
- Paychecks: peeps r spending on it already
- Perspective: you have insight, expertise, or just share as you learn

Came up with some new lingo on this... see what you think.

Ya want in?
First what you're looking for:
- biz below $5M in rev
- private
- older owner
- or owner who needs help & wants investment for cashflow & equity
Path one: Ancillary Expenditures

1: Look at the biggest expenses in your current business or personal life.
2. See if you can invest in a portion of those, or buy them out.

Amazon does this...

One of their best but least known acquisitions was Kiva systems automation.

I know a guy who makes hundreds of thousands off mini-homes.

One he built for $165k and it nets him $87k a year...

Here's how:
@RobuiltChannel (aka Robuilt on Youtube) manages 10+ tiny house rentals remotely, which he documents for his 114k subscribers

He's also building a tiny house community on 50 acres of land in Tennessee... NBD
Here's a 300 square foot tiny home he built in Joshua Tree, California

It makes him $87,500 a year. Yup.

It rents for $165 a night on Airbnb.
And it only cost him around $165k to build. 🤯
