Start and scale a business that gives you freedom

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 covering crazy cool businesses I spot, updates on what we're building and buying, and lessons from the journey of an entrepreneur. Β

Ben's 1x1x1 - May 10, 2024 πŸš€ - Mindset Hurtles 🧠

For those of you that are new here, every week I send what I call a 1x1x1.
​
One learning, reminder, or interesting item from my week.
One interesting find/tool from my week.
One image from my life.

Let's dive in πŸ‘‡

Learning/reminder of the week

Shifting my mindset for better performance.

Sometimes I feel like a race car driver that's building his car when the race is already 20 laps in. I'm in the wrong mindset in the wrong phase of the race.

Different phases of business require different mindsets.

🧠 Build Phase - Requires a GSD (Get Shit Done) mindset

🧠 Operating Phase - Requires a project and people management mindset

🧠 Owner Phase - Requires an investor mindset

One of my bottlenecks is being in the wrong mindset in the wrong phase of the business.

Note to self: Take more 10,000 foot views to ensure you're in the write mindset for the business you're focused on.

Interesting find/tool of the week

I love a good ad. I try to write down or screen shot all the ads that get my attention. Then, I go to the Meta ad library and see any and all ads the company is running. This has been a gold mine!

Image from my life

We celebrated our baby shower this past weekend. Blessed with amazing family.

See you all next week!
