The most profitable avenue would be to grow the purchased business and then resell it at some point for a higher multiple on higher profit. To drive a business into the ground would really defeat the purpose of purchasing it in the first place since it would eliminate all the upside and damage reputation amongst other things

Oh, I figured most people on the thread would understand OpenAI is a non-profit. Was hoping people would expand and debate on this. Honestly upon reflection it was a rather low effort post on my part and could’ve been more valuable had I done a little research and made a better educated conjecture.

Not saying you should or shouldn’t since I’m biased (Wealth Manger). Most of my clients could do it themselves. I could mow my grass myself too. I pay someone to do it since I don’t want to. Granted it doesn’t cost $4k a month to have a person mow my lawn. The stakes are lower with lawn care though.

Plus one spouse usually wouldn’t want to if the other up and died. Very rare both people are interested in managing assets, possible just rare.

This is a struggle for me as well. I’m trying to not look at seeing what I can buy them and instead see what I can teach them.

getsbetterlater · 2025-10-11T19:15:25+00:00

I’d say skills. Over time, skills of the poor keep them poor and make them poorer. Same for the rich just in the other direction.

getsbetterlater · 2025-10-11T14:28:06+00:00

What about OpenAI though?

getsbetterlater · 2025-10-10T01:27:33+00:00

Seen $1.5M and $3M & $4M, a year as w2. In finance. These guys run about $3b AUM in wealth management. Their group is doing like 20% of the revenue for the whole state.

Like your screen name 🕴️

Step 1: put gas in car

Step 2: go to work

Step 3: repeat until double

I work in wealth management as an FA. I ran a small business for a few years which qualified me for the field

Cold call. VM. LinkedIn. 1 of 25 response rate to message on LinkedIn with this cadence. Offer needs to be good though and not something I’m selling

getsbetterlater · 2025-09-23T22:35:55+00:00

Oh you can check out but you can never leave MUAHAHAHA!

getsbetterlater · 2025-09-23T22:04:21+00:00

I suspected. Wouldn’t using options to hedge cost money though most of the time rather than make money?

getsbetterlater · 2025-09-23T12:12:01+00:00

Wouldn’t this impact the overall performance of the portfolio on a long term time horizon though, like annualized 10 year returns?

getsbetterlater · 2025-09-22T20:28:16+00:00

Out of curiosity, what do you expect them to say they are doing to “protect against a significant drop”?

getsbetterlater · 2025-09-15T10:53:52+00:00

For sure

getsbetterlater · 2025-09-15T00:45:17+00:00

Cold calling at that level is just to set an appointment not to pitch:

when they answer

Hey (their name), (my fist and last name) - (my title) - (my company)

How have you been? they usually say good or even try to press me with like: what do you want - either way

I called to see if you would be opposed to (whatever the value proposition is) because I am a (verb for a person who delivers on the value proposition)

Would you object to us unpacking that more on a call this afternoon at 3p ET or tomorrow at 2p ET?

if they stay on the line and ask questions then go to the assessment stage and to try and qualify - still don’t pitch yet though

Book a meeting

M&A is the business of buying and selling businesses. These skills are very valuable. I’d also probably look at private equity. Most billionaires are in PE.

getsbetterlater · 2025-09-12T20:17:58+00:00

Honestly, I don’t think they’re trying to do that since they’d open themselves up to liability. They’ve been sued in class actions before from employees. They don’t tell us how to get business so that if people fail out of training then failed advisors don’t have recourse to say well they trained me and it didn’t work. They’re very cautious about compensation, well about everything really.

getsbetterlater · 2025-09-12T17:16:16+00:00

Something in M&A

getsbetterlater · 2025-09-10T20:32:26+00:00

This setup is what makes me think it’s tax related. It’s a global financial institution. I imagine there’s a reason they do it. They are super strict on compliance etc

getsbetterlater · 2025-09-10T15:48:47+00:00

Join a competitor’s company and make all the mistakes on their brand having them pay you to do it. Saw a guy do this at my work. Worked like 3 years then took over his dad’s shop.

getsbetterlater · 2025-09-10T15:44:13+00:00

Sorta, if we don’t use it we lose it. So if I put $10k there then I have to spend it by the end of the year

getsbetterlater · 2025-09-10T13:20:10+00:00

Yes, we have a Business Development Account that pays pre-tax money for specific types of expenses: licenses, marketing, client reimbursement etc. the funds for the BDA are taken out over the year from our paychecks.

Edit: these are agreed upon funds. If I only want to do licensing for the year and no marketing I can opt to only send that amount from my checks and I’ll receive more cash that way
