An old friend of mine, his dad is worth over $100 million. Built it buying distressed land in the 80s and 90s, then developing apartments in what later became boom suburbs. He’s in his 80s now. Young wife, waterfront mansions, yacht worth over $10 million, 100’s of investment properties. His son (guy I know) is still a manager at a small business. Leaves at 5:30am, gets home after 7 some nights, barely sees his kids, still grinding a mortgage. Growing up, the dad used the kids and other family to get loans if he was short on capital, false payslips, dodgy documents, kickbacks to bank managers and real estate agents to get distressed assets below market rate. The kids helped him raise capital for the deals. When the assets later exploded in value 20 years later, he closed the business, sold off the contracts, and pushed the kids into normal jobs when he retired. When my mate asked why he didn’t get more of a share or a chance to take over the company, his dad said: “You’ll have to wait until I die. I don’t trust any of you with this much money. I helped you get a house. The rest you’ll inherit when I’m gone.” Some old wealthy guys build something and hand the next generation a real shot to make it bigger. Others treat their kids like temporary labour or capital sources, then keep everything to themselves until they die. I can’t understand why so many boomers and old wealthy people do this to their kids. Such a sad existence. All I want to do is be successful to help my own family. Nothing else matters. People who hoard wealth until death have no soul.

the downside with being cracked at GTM (actually good not just throwing data into clay) is that most of your work becomes custom projects for companies that haven't fully solidified PMF and now your tasked with solving for that it's like quicksand

Keep coming back to this idea That unless your ambition is to stack 2k/m retainers and have 100+ clients (which is a totally fine thing to do) You need to take your outbound skills and go start a business that is not lead gen and use your outbound skills to drive all the sales and have fulfillment partners on the backend
