Most entrepreneurs didn’t build their businesses to exit. It makes sense right? They are focused on scaling and building. Or they assume they’d pass the business on to their children, or maybe they doubted it would succeed in the first place. If you’re in this situation, it’s

If you own a business that isn’t positioned to sell… You’ll effectively become a slave to that business. You’ll want to sell it one day, but you won’t be able to get the price you want. Sunk cost fallacy will kick in, and you’ll keep running the business instead of retiring.

Between my wife and me, we both have kids from a prior marriage. But our kids call us mom and dad. It’s one of the greatest honors of my life. While not our biological children, nobody’s forcing them to call us anything in particular. Yet they’ve chosen to call us mom and dad

What does a “fractional exec” actually mean when done right? They’re not wannabe full-timers that had to settle for fractional c-suite roles. They’re part-time leaders who provide high-level strategy, structure, and leadership capacity without the cost or commitment of a

Portable mortgages. Totally doable. In fact, this is already accomplished through a substitution of collateral cause written into a private mortgage notes. Just about anything is possible. This is going to take regulatory approval, but more difficult than that — will require the

Profit ≠ cash. You can look profitable and still be short on money. Knowing the difference between accrual and cash flow is how smart leaders stay solvent. In the next Value Factory Podcast, the guest is Kurtis Hanni Full episode coming out later today @theonenicka @KurtisHanni

Boldness isn’t arrogance. It’s perspective. Sometimes you’re not asking for too much — they’re asking for more. Know whose ask is bigger.

Profit doesn’t vanish—it hides. As you scale, complexity clouds the numbers. Start with cash and profit—the two truths that reveal where growth went sideways. In the next Value Factory Podcast, the guest is Kurtis Hanni Full episode coming out tomorrow. @theonenicka @KurtisHanni

I wholeheartedly believe you should build your business to sell. Even if you don’t want to. Things can change in 20 years. You never know what might happen. Besides, closing shop instead of selling is like giving away your house after spending decades paying it off. If that’s

More people should know. Money works in predictable ways. The 50yr mortgage debate is revealing. It’s neither bad nor good. It just is. Money will respond like money does. Assets will appreciate. Wealth will be created. Costs accumulate. But so what? What is the end result? Hint:

Margins don’t crash—they drift. A business that once ran at 25% can slip to 10% without notice. Smart pricing and small operational fixes can turn it around fast. In the next Value Factory Podcast, the guest is Kurtis Hanni. Full episode coming soon. @KurtisHanni @theonenicka

He’d say it three times: Leadership is a choice. Bill Robinson was a mentor who shaped how I lead. He’s gone, but his message stays.

“Hear me out, 50-year mortgages.. the buyer pays $200 less each month on a $300K loan but over the 50 years we made an extra $700,000.”

I work to live. I don’t live to work. If I had $100 million in cash, would I do the same things I’m doing today? I can’t say that I would. However, I wouldn’t be sitting on the coach eating potato chips all day either. I need to be productive and have purpose. I think many

He’s not wrong.
Fighting against the government has historically been a bad idea The admin is doing lots of things to make inflation roar (50 yr loans, $2k stimmies, lower rates, etc) Real Assets + long term fixed rate debt in structure with no tax on exit seems like a good idea…
