How I Own 26 Companies w/o Going Crazy?

5 tricks...
If you're also bored once you get your biz or job motoring?
Have a lil ADHD in business?

Then you're like me, and you'll like my strategy.

I'm not sure mine is the right way, but I'm having fun & making a lil $$ too :)

Here's the process...
The first little secret is to get over the title of CEO.

I become chairman of many things, CEO of nothing ala Sam Zell.

Then there are 5 keys to outsourcing management that I've found thus far (believe me I have a lot still to learn).
Study all the billionaires who own multiple businesses simultaneously:
- Musk
- Bezos
- Buffett
- Munger
- Zell
- Cuban

Copy their org structure. I took Buffetts.
BTW own doesn't mean you're the only owner. I'm sure not.
Amazon's Single Page Culture

Basically it means your principles are written on one page and then distributed everywhere.

The job of a leader is largely to repeat and reiterate.

We use a single page communication to reiterate that.
Bezo's Single-Threaded Process

Take your best leaders and innovators, give them ONE thing to focus on and nothing else.

Almost none of my businesses overlap, because distraction kills.
Each CEO is independently focused and reads out to me or my CIO.
Incentive Alignment Always

Sam Zell talks about management incentive alignment. It means when he hires managers their compensation is created to drive toward Sam's goals for the company.

I do the same.
There is no 1 static formula, & you do have to constantly tweak.
Sh*t in sh*t out

Hiring is everything.
All the processes in the world won't fix bad talent or subpar talent.
Relentless screening up front.
Incredible trust and lack of micromanagement on the back end.
I broke the rest of the secrets down for you in our newest Youtube video.

Ya'll want to see it?

Ps *Twitter tanks my tweets when I put outside links in them so if you want it comment and I'll post. Le sigh.
And we're live... If you comment on the video I'll answer every question. Promises.

1 year ago Jon bought a small garage business for $500k.

SInce then he's scaled it to $5,000,000 a year.

While working parttime.

He's going to explain:
The 3 things he did to scale it.

And why a former govt employee did it with other people's $...
He leveraged the β€œsystems” mindset he learned in the national security community and applied it to small business.

Led to:
increased sales by 400%
increased gross margin by 15%

And he has a 30-hour work week rule.

His 3 main steps:
Systems = Freedom
First he determined his biggest pain point.

Inventory analysis; tagging, searching & selling.

So he built a custom no-code inventory application.

Well, actually he had someone do it on Upwork a couple k.

Every Sunday I use the 1 in 60 rule, it may help you change your life:
Every Sunday (so like 60% of Sundays) I have a little ritual where I check in to make sure I'm on the right path.

I use a framework called the 1 in 60 rule.
It means that for every 1 degree a plane veers off its course, it misses its target destination by 1 mile for every 60 miles you fly.

Further you go, further away from your goal you get.

I think this is true in life too.

I was told 1 laundromat couldn't make millions a year.

But this one I invested in is on track to make $3million.

The Folde -> here's the story:
Here's the thesis:

Laundromats usually run at 30%ish capacity, what if you could get one up to 75-90%?

What if you could also add tech, delivery and high margin wash and fold?

That's what @TheFolde did under @markvlaskamp
@TheFolde @markvlaskamp Capacity Catapult

If your business only did 30% of what it could do, you wouldn't be very happy. But that's normal in laundromat land.

Mark - decided to run wash and fold at night and throughout down times to nearly 3x that.

9 Things You Need To Know BEFORE you Hit 7 Figures.
If you think being "rich" means others will give you praise, think again.

Opposite usually happens.

You'll get a lot of hate.

You'll get more attention, and biologically humans are wired to dwell on the negative so it'll feel like more.
Life will get busier and less free.

You'll have to actively work HARD on simplifying.
You'll fail at that a lot.

I was told you could make $40-71k a year w/ a relatively passive income and $10-20k down?

Ice vending machines... here's what I learned:
Here's the thesis:

It’s a boring business, that requires no staff (just a few contractors) little input (electricity and water), and can be an add-on to any location that is in a high traffic area.
High margin, low people businesses.

This is a core tenant of my philosophy and basically means, less headache.

Look around an ice vending business, no check in, no clerks, just a mechanic contractor, and maybe an assistant to fill, fix issues etc.
