He thought it sounded too good to be true. Then he did the research. 🔍

Terry Wallace spent years in corporate life before deciding to take ownership of his next chapter. When he learned he could use his 401(k) to fund a business without taking on debt or giving up equity, his first instinct was skepticism.

So he asked questions. A lot of them. The answers satisfied him, and in 2020 he opened Venture X Bethlehem, a premium coworking space in Bethlehem, PA, funded through ROBS.

Six years later? Five–star rating. Swipe to see the full story.

Jack Stack took a struggling $10 million business and turned it into 71. So when Jeremy Ames had three days at a conference with him in the room, he had one goal: get a seat at that table and find out how.

He came back with four competencies, the same four Stack's team uses to develop every leader they bring up.

Then he decided there's a fifth one missing from the list, and that it might be the one that matters most.

The part worth sticking around for is the scorecard at the end. Five competencies, rate yourself honestly, see where your gaps are.

If you've ever wondered whether you're actually ready to own something, that's a good place to start.

In 2010, Jeremy Ames came close to selling Guidant.

The buyer was worried about the exact thing keeping him up at night: one piece of legislation could have pulled the floor out from under the whole business. The deal fell through over it.

That turned out to be the useful part. Losing it forced a hard look at what the company was really betting on, and that answer shaped everything after it, right down to the AI coach the team just launched.

In this week's video, Jeremy walks through the question he has used ever since, borrowed from Jeff Bezos, and why it points toward businesses most people would call boring.

Worth a watch if you have been thinking about what to build next.

Most people talk about doing things differently. Steve Sargent just did it. 🔧

He negotiated a franchise acquisition down by 75 percent. When the conventional marketing playbook stopped working, he scrapped it and went digital. He went on to win Franchisee of the Year as a single-location owner in a field most multi-unit operators dominate.

Now he mentors other franchise owners who want to know how he got there.
