1. Some solid insights on buying and operating a business remotely
2. HoldCo-building timeline, from days to decades
The worst thing that can happen in life:
Getting old and realizing you got good at the wrong thing.
Therefore, when setting 10, 20, 30 year goals, it is very important to let your mind wander.
Whether it's building a private equity firm…
Or a holding company for profitable niche companies…
That said:
Every time you start building a business you should ask, what would XYZ do?
For example, when it comes to acquiring and growing traditional niche businesses, ask, for example - what would young Henry Kravis and George Roberts from KKR do?
So here's how I think they'd manage their time when building a holding company for traditional $2-10 million companies.
At least that's how I would do it.
Dream in Decades -> Think in Years -> Work in Weeks -> Live in Days

3. Redditors weigh in on what “execution” looks like in business
4. How to calculate how much equity a searcher gets to keep (includes a link to an editable spreadsheet template)
How much equity can I get?
Variations on this question are “what kind of step-up should I ask for?” or “how much carry can I get” or “how much sweat equity should I ask for?”…there are a dozen different ways to ask the same question.
But how much equity you can get is an ANSWER — not the question you should be asking. It’s the answer to how much Equity IRR your deal can generate, and how that IRR gets shared around investors and you. I’ll define IRR and Equity IRR in a moment, but let’s set a core foundation first.
There are three fundamental ways to generate Equity IRR:
1. Reducing the Amount of Equity Capital by Adding Debt Capital (aka Leverage)
2.Growing the Business (aka Increasing Cash Flow)
3.Reducing Cost of Capital (aka Increasing the Business Valuation Multiple)
That’s it — just about any deal can be boiled down to those three levers.
So how does that help you answer How Much Equity Can I Get?
The list above can be turned into a series of preceding questions — I’ll walk you through each one below, with a link to a Google Sheet at the end to let you play with various scenarios.
