Guerrilla Billionaire™: How to Become a Billionaire Part 1

Guerrilla Billionaire™

A Roadmap to Success

"Men Wanted: For hazardous journey. Small wages, bitter cold, long months of complete darkness, constant danger, safe return doubtful. Honour and recognition in case of success." – Sir Ernest Shackleton.

So you want to be a billionaire?

Let me ask, how serious are you really about this goal?

Most people who end up on this page do so by conducting a search on how billionaires become billionaires. Most apparently are not very serious about pursuing this goal. After reading the following course description they will either conclude that it sounds "too hard" or begin to squirm over just how much television time they might have to lose. And that will be the end of that dream.

So think about that for a moment. Are you one of those people?

You also need to be aware before continuing that this is not a get-rich-quick course. The ideal candidate for this course is someone with business experience, ideally of the entrepreneurial variety, and who is savvy enough to understand that great wealth stems from owning or controlling a lot of assets as opposed to just one.

Finally, if you're not prepared to work at learning new skills and more importantly, putting them into practice, this course is not for you.

Life is a series of problem-solving opportunities. The problems you face will either defeat you or develop you depending on how you respond to them. - anon

Now that we have that out of the way, onto business, that is if you're still with me. 

Anyone who has built a company from the ground up understands that the initial high growth rate levels off quickly. At that point the entrepreneur has a choice between:

1) fighting the Law of Diminishing Returns to extract every last inch of growth from the existing company, or

2) adding growth through acquisitions of competitors and related companies to his strategy.

In the vast majority of cases, the first route provides far slower growth than the second. Moreover, most people go with the former simply because they don't have the skill set and confidence to employ an acquisitions strategy.

A study of how billionaires become billionaires shows that they employ the second route because it offers the possibility of 50% per annum growth rates, or better, over a prolonged period of time.

By the way, this is also by far the most fun way to make money because you never get bored. There's always a new deal to work on. The people who can grow just one business for four or five years without burning out are rare. Meanwhile billionaires frequently work well into their eighties and nineties because what they do is actually fun.

In fact, it's so much fun that the people who start off by employing this strategy as a sideline frequently adopt it as their main growth strategy once they have a deal or two under their belts.

Here's one more reason why you should seriously consider learning how to grow your business this way: less competition. While the masses today are focused on building the 3,876,734th "social networking" site, you will be operating in a rarefied atmosphere with a much smaller number of competitors.

So what is this course about?

This is a course for both deal-makers and aspiring deal-makers.

The most sure-fire way to go after billionaire status is through a combination of multiple-company building and mergers & acquisitions activity over an extended period of time, usually covering a decade or more. Billionaires do not rely on one company to make them billionaires. (In most cases, that's as realistic as pinning one's hopes on winning the Powerball Lottery.) Instead they understand that the road to wealth consists of a long series of deals involving the purchase, improvement, and sale of assets.

Unfortunately, it’s a seemingly tough line of work to step into. Why? Well first of all, deal-making is normally a game for established players. By “established” I mean that they have achieved the critical mass in both financial strength and reputation necessary to be taken seriously by the other players in the field. Second, most people are terrified of even taking the first step into this lucrative field because they don't understand that there's a proven winning formula they can employ successfully. 

This course is designed to teach you the proven strategies of people who have been successful at it and how to start using them today. The program will accomplish this by:

1) teaching you advanced entrepreneurial and intermediate-level mergers & acquisitions (i.e., "M&A") strategies, and

2) helping you to create workarounds for any obstacles (e.g., lack of capital, experience, and reputation) you may face in entering this field. As the old saying goes, where there’s a will, there’s a way.

However, if you're held back by wimpiness or laziness, I can't help you.

Nothing can.

Please note: The course requires that you have basic entrepreneurial skills as well as the business acumen to recognize opportunities in your industry. It also requires that you have the patience and self-discipline to study, learn, and practice the strategies and tactics the course will teach you.

If you lack any of the above qualities, this course is most definitely not for you. This is not for the meek or those seeking get-rich-quick schemes.

The critical ingredient is getting off your butt and doing something. It's as simple as that. A lot of people have ideas, but there are few who decide to do something about them now. Not tomorrow. Not next week. But today. The true entrepreneur is a doer, not a dreamer.
- Nolan Bushnell, founder of Atari and Chuck E. Cheese's

Nice interesting blog, sir. We all reap the wealth of this world but all of this will pass away. We should be content with what we have although we should not also be indifferent to opportunities that come our way.
