"I'm blown away by how Daniel took my small time idea & designed a step by step plan for total niche domination!"
"Acquisition.com is a $100m+ portfolio of alternative education e-learning businesses focused on teaching niche business owners how to make more money. It's on track to hit a billion dollar valuation."
Start with the end in mind. Create a hold co (holding company) that owns the intellectual property & assets separate from your main brand or personal brand so assets can be sold off without selling everything (aka sell the golden eggs, not the golden goose).
Regularly publish reputation-building content on ONE main media channel: podcast, newsletter, YouTube, Instagram, Twitter, etc. that promotes your lead magnet.
Own your audience through email or risk everything building your business on rented attention – if you get deplatformed you lose everything. One of my fave lead magnets is a free 7-30 day mini course/challenge that builds a relationship in their email inbox or your membership app that delivers a real transformation.
Give away your best stuff for free, turn lookers into superfans & build massive goodwill with your market. It's way easier to make big money selling expensive stuff to PWM (Players With Money) aka businesses with big expense accounts. Give away the how (information), sell the who (community accountability & coaching that supports true transformation).
Businesses beg to trade $1,000s to get $100,000s. So help them get 10x more (money, results, etc.) with 10x less (time, cost, etc.) and you'll write your own paycheck.
Your affiliate partners make a % of every sale that uses their special promo code. It's a no lose deal – partners get an instant new revenue stream & you get unlimited sales with a $0 ad budget.
This is one proven way to scale from $1m to $10m and beyond. Agency Launch is our program to turn your dream team of top service providers into a custom-branded agency that resells the same niche service providers you trust to your audience.
This is where the biggest Built To Sell gold is hiding, for a reason – you're jumping into the major leagues of business investing. Your hold co / venture studio attracts deal flow, acquires assets or whole businesses, rolls them up & sells them off to private equity for a multiple of their sellable enterprise value. We target recurring revenue businesses that can sell at max valuation multiples.
Attention then impact. Now that money isn't everything, what's next? With Foundation Launch we'll help your non-profit family office foundation grow from idea to impact & beyond in only 6 months. The tax benefits are just a bonus, the legendary legacy is priceless.
