Congratulations to the Boom team on making aviation history!
Today is October 2, 2024.
It is the last day without a CFB or NFL game until November 27, 2024 (the day before Thanksgiving).
Starting tomorrow, that’s 55 consecutive days of football.
Your yearly reminder to buckle up.
A lot of people want to own 100% of the business.
“I don’t want to give away equity.”
“I don’t want to share.”
“I don’t want to be a partner with somebody – I want to do this on my own.”
But my question..
If you had a rockstar team and you gave away half your profits.
But they are amazing at what they did.
Could you do twice as much?
Could you do 5 times as much? Or 10 times as much?
Of course.
With the right people and the right systems to manage those people.
You could do 100 times more than you can do on your own.
