@0xAustin this post is packed with wisdom. Such a high signal to noise ratio. *chefs kiss*

Wage / Debt slavery is real and soul crushing for entrepreneurs. Building a financial foundation is critical to chasing moonshots. I hope to make a difference in this space with 10X.

As a dev/SaaS guy I personally prefer cashflow model and tech niche - so it was refreshing to hear your perspective on small business.

Keep it up with these great posts! 🤩

Thank you for the good feedback! I know much less about SaaS and tech business models, so much of what I wrote probably doesn't apply. From my very basic understanding of SaaS/tech companies, focusing on casfhlow makes a ton of sense as many of these companies should not be venture backed as they were historically. Private equity makes more sense for many of these companies, and it seems people are starting to realize this. I think a more mature private equity market is developing around valuing tech and SaaS companies on some form of cashflow/EBITDA, so it is likely a very good time to be building! Which makes some of what I wrote suddenly more relevant I guess..

Thanks for sharing austin. You have packed some great experiences into a relatively young career. That is not just impressive, but it seems you recognize and appreciate your blessings. The more you share like this, the more others may be inspired to overcome their fears and take a path that will reward them. It resonated with me that your decision matrix revolves around creating individual freedom, which tends to put a person's soul in a better place.
I appreciate your profound writing. Thank you.
