Ben Sampson Headshot

Hey, I'm Ben!

I build, buy, and invest in businesses.

I've had 2 successful exits. Way more failures.

I write about building Freedom Companies to achieve what I call the three freedoms:

A life of financial freedom.
A life of time freedom.
A life of creative freedom.

I send one action packed email a week called a 1x1x1 where I write about businesses and people that I think are inspirational when it comes to creating freedom in their lives, or updates on the businesses we're building and buying.

This newsletter is the highlight of my week and I hope I can inspire and guide you to building your own freedom company.

Let's dive in 👇

Interesting thought from the week

Losing mindsets are as toxic as the hot pocket I consumed yesterday.

Maybe the olympics are wearing off on me, but I have been obsessed with the idea of winning mindsets recently.

Not only do I think having a winning mindset is key for success, I think surrounding yourself with people that have winning mindsets is critical.

Examples of winning vs losing mindsets.

Losing mindset people be like:

This is going to be hard. I'm dreading it.

Winning mindset people be like:

This is going to be hard but I will push through it and persevere.

Losing mindset people be like:

I failed, so I must not be good at this.

Winning mindset people be like:

I failed, but I will learn from this and be better because of it.

Losing mindset people be like:

I'll never be as good as him.

Winning mindset people be like:

If I stay focused, maybe I can be as good or even better.

Losing mindset people be like:

It's too late to start now.

Winning mindset people be like:

F*ck what society says. It's never too late to start working towards my goals.

Losing mindset people be like:

Just another day.

Winning mindset people be like:

I'll conquer the day and make the most of it.

If you have people in your life that have a losing mindset, I highly encourage you to distance yourself. Surround yourself with winning mindsets!

Interesting find/tool of the week

Nothing interesting enough to report on this week.

Image from my life

In my free time, I mail letters to local businesses that I think would be interesting to buy. Most of them have no interest in being my pen pal 😅

See you all next week!
