Stop Building Businesses. Start Funding Them. (The "Kingmaker" Strategy)
Everyone wants to be a CEO, but they are playing on "Hard Mode." 🎮 While 90% of startups fail, the business lending market is projected to hit $9.3 trillion by 2030. The smart money isn't digging for gold; it's selling the shovels. ⛏️ Stop fighting supply chains and algorithms. Pivot from "Builder" to "Kingmaker." Don't bet on the horse. Own the racetrack. 👑💰

Inflation is Your Business Partner
While you are patting yourself on the back for being 'debt-free' and hoarding cash, your money is being stolen right out from under your nose. It’s called inflation. Between January 2020 and January 2023, the United States experienced a cumulative inflation rate of roughly 15.98%. That means the cash you sat on lost nearly 16% of its buying power in just three years. We call it The Inflation Heist. And honestly? It’s the only way to win when the game is rigged.

The Glitch at the Thanksgiving Dinner Table 🦃
Uncle Steve says the economy is booming (GDP +3.8%). Your wallet says it’s broken. You’re both right. We’re in a "Jobless Expansion." We actually lost jobs in June & August while tech investment ripped higher. Why? Companies are swapping Headcount (OpEx) for Horsepower (AI CapEx). The economy is getting richer, but it decided it doesn't need you to do it. Stop playing by the old rules. Don't get hired. Get funded. Here is the math behind the "Glitch."

The SBA "Death March": Why You'll Be Bankrupt Before You Get Your "Guaranteed" Loan
The SBA "Death March" is a lethal, 3-part tax.
1. You pay an $8,000 "Time Tax" just to wait in line.
2. You're forced into an "Interest Rate Gamble" (one "Amateur" saw his 6.50% rate jump 42.3% to 9.25%).
3. The punchline? A Chase banker told us 95% of applicants get denied anyway.
You're not a borrower. You're a victim of the process. Stop waiting in line.

Forget "Unicorn" Status. The Real Goal is to Become a "FICO-Corn"
The VC lottery is a trap. ☠️ Stop chasing the $1B "Unicorn" and start building a "FICO-Corn"—a business so "fundable" that lenders fight to give you their money. This isn't speculation. This is real power.
