Buying an existing business flips the odds in your favor versus starting from scratch. Nail price, structure seller financing, and improve ops. Don’t overpay—due diligence on cash flow is non-negotiable. Use OPM to multiply your equity returns. https://t.co/ilJvyHcezT #Buyout

Business ownership is opening up beyond the ultra-wealthy via streamlined platforms. But real success depends on sourcing quality deals and delivering top-tier investor service consistently. Without that, growth stalls. #InvestorRelations https://t.co/QUA1VJ2035

Rebuild trust in your data:

1. Define one truth: ≈5 core KPIs that run business
2. Tighten data flow: Map sources → transformations → outputs
3. Archive zombies spreadsheets
5. Monthly: tie assumptions to actuals & explain variances

I have heard about traders mimicking @SpeakerPelosi stock trades for awhile now. Last month, Pelosi bought a significant amount of call options on Tempus AI. I decided to take the same trade. Currently, I am up 137% 😀. Amazing.
