A realistic path for aspiring multimillionaires today involves acquiring businesses from retiring owners who may not have successors. Developing expertise in specific industries and positioning oneself to purchase these established businesses, potentially with seller financing, is a viable strategy for wealth accumulation.
“One opportunity, I think, is there's this big– boom of business owners who, like I said, are in their 60s or 70s, many of them want to retire. And for a lot of these people, they might not have kids who want to take it over or want to give it to their kids.”
“And so I think there's a lot that someone could do trying to get some expertise, knowing how to run something like a car dealership or a gas station or, you know, you name the type of company that and work in it for a few years and then try to put themselves in a position to own the thing when the owner wants to retire.”
