Money is Momentum 💰 Dear Founder, You hear a lot of noise, I know. It would seem that there are a lot of things that signal momentum. I’ve heard of them too: - Number of people on a waitlist - Social media followers - Letters of intent - App downloads - Number of likes - Engagement rate - Number of testimonials - Page views - Site visitors - Newsletter subscribers - Press mentions - Events attended - Award nominations  - Number of resumes received - Size of team - Number of investor meetings - Number of product demos - Foot traffic - Trial members - Focus group participants - Survey respondents - Number of reposts Am I missing any? So. much. noise.  📢 But here's the truth: when it comes to business momentum, nothing, truly nothing, beats money. A sale. Sales plural. The first three purchases. The first annual subscription. That's the heartbeat of your business. It's what catalyzes you and your team towards not only more revenue but transforms all those other metrics into what they should be, secondary indicators of success.

Had a great talk with Blake Hutchison (Flippa.com - CEO) Here's a quick summary: - Buying (Not starting) a business can shave-off years of struggle from your success story. - Unless you have a done-deal off-market, having the advantage of multiple eyeballs on your offer is the best option. - Content businesses are the most sold business online. - Business age is a big marker of success. Buying a business with a history often leads to better results. - Close a deal after your desired valuation, in most cases holding out for a better deal isn't good. - #1 career advice: Say yes a lot more than you say no. - #1 entrepreneurship advice: Test fast and validate. Flippa helps you buy and sell business. They also have a powerful broker program for people with skills in accounting, finance, sales, etc. Their affiliate program is one of the highest paying in the market. Check it out!

As a Founder I made many, many mistakes which cost my investors money and me a lot of sleepless nights. I've done it all. ❌️ Made bad hires ❌️ Let bad hires stay longer than I should ❌️ Trusted bad investors ❌️ Allowed poor development solutions ❌️ Delivered poor customer experience ❌️ Ignored my customers voice ❌️ Made terrible websites ❌️ Listened only to my investors voice ❌️ Not validated assumptions ❌️ Created ineffective marketing ❌️ Built unwanted features ✅️ Failing is the best teacher. So I've also learnt a hell of a lot! 😁 As Founders we find ourselves in the 'Fog of Aspiration' where our enthusiasm for our mission clouds our thought processes and blinkers our decision making. That's why we have phrases like 'helicopter view' or '30,000 foot view'. Founders have to learn to step away from the coal face and have a more objective view of their business. 🔔 I now help Founders and start-ups take that objective view of their business and allow them to focus back on the drivers of growth. 💰💰 Until the end of today I am offering my services as a 'pay-on-results' service. So if you want my help, book a free appointment to explore how I can help you. 🔵 If all today's appointments are full DM and I will fit you in on this week's deal.

For all the numbers people out there, this story is mind-blowing. Initial investment: $10,000 after reading some business ideas in a magazine. Here’s how the numbers broke down: ▪ Year 1: $2 million ▪ Year 2: $6.5 million ▪ Year 3: $36 million ▪ Year 4: $161 million ▪ Year 5: Sold for $600 million. This is the story of RXBAR's founder, Peter Rahal, who scaled his business to incredible heights with a "do or die" mindset and laser-focused action. Insane, right? But here’s the kicker… if his financial records were a mess, none of this growth would’ve been possible. Investors and buyers want to see clean, accurate, and organized financials before they make any moves. Takeaway: If you’re serious about scaling, you have to stay organized. Whether you’re looking to grow, attract investors, or sell your business—having clean financial records isn’t optional. ♻️Repost if you find it helpful. 🔔Follow Yan Wang for more content like this.

Let me tell yall once again about my biggest mistake in my first business. We. Did. Not. Standardize. Our. Offer. Or. Delivery. Model. This seems like a logically sound thing to do. But logic dies when you act from desperation. And most First-Time Founders are just trying to stay alive. So they do anything they can to service anyone that's even close to their Ideal Customer. The results are usually: Unhappy clients, an overworked delivery team, high levels of churn, and a sales process that can't keep up with the money going out the door. As I build my 2nd, 3rd, and 4th businesses (simultaneously) 😫 I am way more focused on niche-ing down and finding the exact thing I do well...before mass producing it. Think about it.
