0:00Passive income is overrated. We seek freedom, but what we really want is options for engaging activities. What does that mean and how did you come to that realization? So, 2021 we sold three companies. So, we were like I didn't It was Interestingly, my CFO was the one who was really engaged in those activities and like I was not. So, I pretty much like took a really passive seat in 2021 cuz I didn't want to really go start hardcore on on scaling acquisition.com until that was done. And so, I was bored out of my
0:29>> Which Which three companies? Al So, Al, Prestige Labs, and Germ Watch. So, those are my three majority holdings. Right now, I have all minority holdings. So, between 20 and 33% of the holdings that we target for acquisition. And so, I had this I don't want to say existential crisis, but more like I'm bored out of my mind. I thought this is what I was always optimizing towards, which was, you know, quote freedom, which is like you're always you're always outsourcing all of your activities and buying your time back and then you have all your time back and you have nothing to do. And I was like, this sucks. And I look back on the times of when I was building each of those companies with lots of nostalgia and I was like, man, that was like some of the happiest times of my life. And so, that I'm in this position, I'm getting back into the game and and like right now we're heavily recruiting. Like we're in 2 days a week we're just doing interviews to build the core team out. And I honestly am I'm happy as [ __ ] doing this. And so, it's like but the difference between this time and last time is that I have the option to do it that I'm choosing rather than cuz if I didn't have this business, I wouldn't have the option to work.
1:30So, I had to create the option for myself. And so, it's like for me the shift was going from freedom to optionality. At least for as I had to understand the word. Real quick, if you're a business owner and you are not growing as fast as you'd like, I'd like to give you a free gift. So, my team and I put together the $100 million scaling road map, which is basically 200 hours of us looking over all the portfolio companies we've had and what stages of growth they went through and more importantly, where they got stuck and how they got past it. And so, we broke it into these 10 stages, and we made this little kind of quiz thing where if you put in your business information, it'll tell you where you're at, and the most important part for you, what to do for each of functions of the business across product, marketing, sales, customer success, recruiting, IT, human resources, and finance. And so, no matter what you're struggling with, someone else has already struggled with it and solved it. And so, I'd like to give you this thing absolutely free. You can go to acquisition.com/roadmap, plug in your business information, and if you want us to actually help you deconstruct the business, and you're trying to scale, we'd love to help you out. On the thank you page, you can just book a call with my team, and we will look at your business, see if we can help, and if we can, we'll invite you out to Vegas, and we'll do this in person live.
