There are 5 billion YouTube videos watched daily.

But most viewers just waste time on the site.

Here are 7 tips for boosting your productivity when watching YouTube 👇
Subscribe to Great Channels

Find a topic you want to learn about and head to reddit to find out who are the go to creators in that niche.

Subscribe.

A few examples:

Productivity - @AliAbdaal
Crypto - @coinbureau
Real Estate - @sweatystartup Image
Consider purchasing YouTube premium.

1) This removes ads which will save you screen time on the site.

2) This allows you to download videos. If you're on a flight and want to continue learning, this is a huge benefit. Image
Use the "Subscription Feed" view

Youtube's algorithm is the GOAT. They know how to keep you watching.

On the left side of YouTube, click "subscriptions".

The only thing that will show up are those great channels you subscribed to.

Nothing else. Image
Turn on Closed Captioning

Listening is passive. Reading is active.

You will retain more when you do both.

Just hit the "CC" button at the bottom of the video. Image
Take Notes

It is easy to forget the things you learn on YouTube.

Taking notes will help you remember all that you read and hear.

Notion is a great tool for doing just that.

Here's a bit on note taking.

Turn Autoplay Off

As stated earlier, YouTube's algorithm is the GOAT.

Take back control of your time on YouTube by turning Autoplay off so that you only watch the videos you choose to. Image
Create Playlists

The videos from the topics you are learning about can all be added to playlists.

Here you can add videos that you would like to rewatch in the future.

Share playlists with friends and learn something together.
Participate in the Community

Sometimes we forget the social aspect of social media.

Speak up. Comment. Ask questions.

You will be surprised at the connections you make and the insights you gain just by speaking up. Image
I'm Chris.

I send my community 2-3 threads a week of breakdowns just like this one.

Come along for the ride.

Here's a commercial cleaning business ($90B industry) for sale in Hawaii.

$1.875M purchase price
$541k annual cash flow
Beautiful Hawaii

Let's dig in to the listing and see what looks good, what is questionable, and whether or not this is a good opportunity 🌴☀️ Image
First, here is a one pager given by the broker. (Actually a lot more info here than you'll find in most listings)

A few things off the bat:

3.5x SDE is a reasonable valuation range.
$200k of working capital is included
$74k in vehicles
$150k in other equipment Image
This business services 4 islands (sounds like a headache) but does have 4 general managers in each location.

Business has been around for 18 years (+)

Owners are responsible for renewing contracts (-)

30+ contracted clients (+)

Seller willing to train for 6 to 12 months (+)

Google just launched a Calendly killer.

And it's free.

Here's how to use it:
Scheduling is a pain. Google has integrated a solution inside of gmail.

The first step is to select the calendar icon at the bottom of your drafted email and click "Offer times you're free" Image
This will pull up your calendar & meeting duration times.

You can select multiple days from here if you'd like to give a bunch of options to the person you're emailing. Image

Buying a business is a great way to move into the top 1% ($800k+).

But things have changed.

Here's how I would go about buying a business in 2023.
Let's start by stating what I think should be obvious:

Getting into the top 1% won't be easy. And it shouldn't be.

But it's doable.
Step 1: Source a Business

Business brokers like @ClintFiore find owners who are looking to sell their biz and connect them with people looking to buy (you).

Here's a recent posting by a broker for a HVAC company.

Revenue: $2.4M
Cash Flow: $623k

The man who turned $1M into $90M in just 3 years, Reginald Lewis.

He made his fortune buying boring, cash-flowing businesses.

This continued until he was the first black person to own a $1B company.

Here's the story of his 1st deal (a 90:1 return): Image
Lewis started off as a corporate lawyer in BigLaw.

Allegedly, he's the only person admitted to Harvard Law without applying.

He later started his own firm helping clients acquire businesses with government backed loans (MESBICs).

Sound familiar? @KHendersonCo @SMB_Attorney
But to grow his practice he needed more partners and constantly pitch his services.

"Why the fuck do we have to prove ourselves over and over? I’ve got to go to the other side of the table. This is not the way I want to spend the rest of my life."

So he began looking for deals.

So I'll admit that I was an Al skeptic.

But, Chat-GPT & Al saved my business over $100,000.

I am fully converted.

Here's a real use case for Chat-GPT in business:
One of the hardest parts of running a business is documenting everything.

When an employee leaves, they usually take a ton of knowledge with them.

My job since acquiring a business in August has been to put all that knowledge on paper.
In a small business, this is increasingly difficult because everyone has a job to do and people are busy.

They often don't have hours to sit around and train a replacement.

And often you cannot afford to pay 2 people to do the same job.

Here's where Chat-GPT has been a savior.
