I used to chase exotic investments like a kid chasing fireflies.
- Real estate syndications
- Ground-up development
- Private equity funds
- Oil & gas deals
- Debt funds
Each pitch was more exciting than the last.
“Ground floor access to the next big thing.”
“Projected 25% annual returns.”
“Building the largest XYZ…”
Know where all these “sophisticated” deals got me?
- Projects running over budget
- Money stuck in illiquid investments
- WhatsApp with other LP’s talking about capital calls
Last month, I decided: No more complexity.
No more “unique opportunities.”
I’m now investing 100% of distributions into one thing: VTI
Vanguard Total Stock Market Index Fund
Just dollar-cost averaging every week while ignoring the price.
Automatic. Boring. Perfect.
Here’s what I’ve realized:
The goal of investing isn’t to be exciting. It’s to make money while not thinking about it.
This mirrors my business philosophy perfectly:
Make money through boring, repetitive franchises.
So many people make risky investments because they see it as their path to get-rich quick.
You know what’s a much better path?
Owning a cash-flowing business in an industry where people are already spending tons of money.
Not having to reinvent any wheels.
Where success is 100% correlated to your ability to build a team & execute a plan.
Then, re-investing profits into buying more franchises, buying back your time, and paying down debt.
The formula looks like this: Franchise profits → Buy more franchises → Distributions → Buy VTI → Reinvest dividends.
