Starting a Business/Side Hustle: The speaker emphasizes identifying a problem, validating the business idea by pre-selling, and focusing on growth through hyper-focused goals. Initial attempts with online courses led to pivoting to in-person training for higher profitability.
Acquiring Pre-existing Businesses: This strategy involves purchasing profitable small businesses (micro-acquisitions), employing an operator for daily operations, and utilizing seller financing to minimize upfront capital needs. The speaker highlights the importance of sufficient profit margins to ensure a true business acquisition, not merely a job.
