Die größte Chance für 2026

0:00So, I'm curious where there's opportunities are today. Because it seems like every few years in hindsight you could look back and be like that was the best time to do that. What are what's going on today that people aren't recognizing the potential in? I think there's micro and macro opportunities. So, like from the macro perspective, I think we've had like three big ones. So, at least in my lifetime. So, it's like we've had internet uh which is like kind of opportunity number one. Uh opportunity number two is kind of like web 2.0 which is social.

0:26Um and then opportunity three is AI now. So, there's the three macro ones. Now, underneath of that it's kind of like well, Facebook ads was kind of like a like an opportunity kind of like within that and then like Google search was an opportunity like all of those are kind of like sub uh kind of like micro uh opportunities. Like I think like TikTok shop right now, um a lot of people are kind of kind of like in the Amazon of 2013-14. Like I know a lot of people who are who've really never done much and then just like within 60-90 days are doing a million a month.

0:54And it's just because there's a huge supply-demand uh discrepancy between the amount of influencers there there that want to make money and the amount of products to sell. And they will just continue to populate it until eventually becomes a stabilized market. But it's like when those when those market those land grabs occur, that's when there's typically outsized returns to be had. What do you think people need to be able to capitalize on these opportunities? I think you have to have skills. >> [laughter] >> Just straight up? >> Yeah, like you just have to have skills.

1:20Like I remember it was really funny like um our first ever conversation that we had um I was like man, if I had your amount of following, I was like I'd be a billionaire. And I saw that as a supply-demand um I like and even so like when you asked just a few minutes ago like you know, what's the what things are there now? Like I still kind of see social media still thinks there. I still think that opportunity exists for people if you're good. But maybe it's less so than when Instagram came out in 20 whatever year it was. Uh when you could just like just post pictures of you on the sunset and have like a million followers and and people would just buy cuz you had just had this insane reach. But I saw it as a as a as a the fact that we could still this the fact that we could still advertise ourselves and get paid to do it is still mind-boggling to me that that like opportunity exists. Like you can build a brand and get paid to do it.

2:11Which I think is insane. Okay, so now it's arguable that you have his brand if not even a bigger brand. Are you Did you accomplish that goal? I I won't be public about what our stuff is valued at, but I think that we've done well. Yes. Yeah. >> [laughter] >> The classic answer. You know, that makes that makes a lot of sense. Okay. >> Yeah. Yeah, I don't I don't want to I don't want to make claims around things. Market market values for enterprise value for illiquid assets like private equity investments and you know, companies that are owned really depends only on the time that somebody's going to buy it.

2:43Um I have had um some of the biggest banks that you've heard of things like that out to this headquarters um to see what we have going on and they've been like, "This is insane." Real quick, I'm going to show you the exact 10-stage roadmap from zero to 100 million plus that less than 1% of companies finish I've now done multiple times and so I can say with a lot of confidence that these are the stages as head count increases that you need to get through and I broke each of these down by eight different functions of the business, what the constraint feels like, like what are the symptoms of it when you're going through it and then what steps we actually took to graduate.

3:16And we've done this across software, physical products, uh service businesses, brick and mortar, all of this and it works. And it's my gift to you. It's actually free and so the link's in the description, but you just go acquisition.com/roadmap, just enter your info and it'll spit it right back to you all free.
