A friend refused a $1 Million offer for his website
When I asked him the reason he told me:
« I already have a million and I don't even know how to spend it. I invested in SP500, Crypto, angel investments. I am good, I prefer to keep my cash flow.»
That's when I understood that there are 2 types of founders:
The one who builds relentlessly for years to make an exit and finally take a breath. Waiting for the "I made it" moment.
The one who invests quietly while building and ends up never needing an exit because they already have the "exit money". They can already take a big breath and relax.
I wish I was this second guy, but I am the first one.
I exited a few months ago, and trust me, the only thing I want now is cash flow.
I regret so much not having invested while building so I could have kept this cashflow.
I just never ever learned how to do it.
When I see Marc or Pieter with their S&P500, I am jealous. I've been building online for 8+ years and never ever saved money. I could have been an S&P500 millionaire right now.
But instead, I'm drying out my exit money until I find my next cash flow cow.
I know I am not the only one.
So I want to start learning about investing as a founder and document it in a newsletter.
If I hit 100 subscribers in the next few days, I'll send the first one.
The goal is to go from $0 to $1M portfolio and share everything with you.
Excited to start this new adventure with you,
Florian
