The $1 Billion Business You Would Never Sell?

Hey Reader,

In a recent podcast that I listened to, they were chatting about the perfect business.

A lot of people advise to build a business you could sell later.

It is with the idea to personally get so much money out of the exit that you would never need to work again in your life.

When I talk to my clients, they always say that they don’t mind to work. It is the other way around. They want to show their work. What a good work ethic looks like.

In the podcast, the host asked: “What if I would build the business that you would not sell for $1 billion?”

When that would mean you couldn’t have an exit where you could never do the same business again.

The idea behind the question is to focus on the business that you want to have. Not the business that you start just for the money.

I have this conversation with my clients when they start their One-Dad Business.

It is so exciting to see their change when they find the business they would never sell—because they love to help their clients so much.

This is the business they build for their lifetime.

When I asked myself that question, I came to The Present Provider.

I love business, and I love families.

There is nothing more fun for me than to talk business with dads.

Fathers building to provide with presence for their families.

That’s my joy.

This is what I want to share with my son growing up.

What’s your business that you would never sell for $1 billion?

    Clear beats Clever I have designed 30 websites, launched 60 products. The biggest problem I had was to make myself clear. I played around with titles and the feel of words. Introducing my own language. The feedback I often got was: “I don’t understand what you do.” I just wasn’t clear. My big goal was to be clever. So that’s what I aimed for. The solution to all of it is to write clear. When people can understand you and have a feeling that you speak to them – it changes the game. You want…

    This is a topic I keep thinking about. I’m yet to fully grasp what it means.We don’t like to be manipulated. It often happens — when I’m on X or other social platforms,I feel like the Sales Bros are always trying to be manipulative. A lot of the strategies behind Persuasion and Manipulation are similar.They are similar to what they do —but we don’t like to be sold to. Yet, it becomes more complicated when we find out someone manipulated us to buy.We feel icky.That’s not nice. So how is…

    Hey Reader, Every day I get DMs by people pitching me their service. I’m not a big fan of cold DMs or cold outreach, but there is an even bigger problem ahead. There is another inflation going around. Next to the financial inflation, there is also the offer inflation. I do enjoy most of the content by Alex Hormozi and I have both his books. There is a side effect of the $100M Offers book. Many juniors are starting out and create an offer that is “irresistible.” I agree with Alex Hormozi to…

  • Don’t Be Scared of a Post to Fail

    Social media gets pretty boring.I read the same posts over and over again. Why do most people post the same stuff? It feels like there is nobody sharing fresh ideas. There are waves of trends.As soon as somebody posts something good,it gets reposted, repurposed a hundred times. They all look alike.Sound alike.Are there no new ideas? I believe it’s for one reason: Because people are actually scared their post won’t get enough likes. They hold back their genuine self, fresh thoughts, and new…

  • Commitment is Elimination of Options

    Hey Reader, Commitment is often talked about mostly as a sense of committing to more. Taking on a new commitment or getting more committed. Yet commitment means:to eliminate alternatives. I know that most think of commitment as adding something new to your life.I thought that way for years. Then I ended up with too many commitments—too many plates that I wasn’t able to actually do. I started to feel burned out. That’s when I noticed how flawed my understanding of commitment was. Commitment is…

  • To Give is to Get

    Hey Reader, How often have you heard:“But he did it first!” Many kids justify their actions as reactions.They say, look at the other person… they are so much worse than I am. We see this today with adults, too—when they put blame on others as an excuse for their bad behavior. It makes me sad to see it in the news every day: “I’m not to blame.” “He was already doing it.” “I’m not as bad as he is.” These are all statements of giving back what you’ve received—with the point of escape or…
