Hello to all my Million Dollar peeps! As always, I hope this message finds you all doing well, and business is booming!
First and foremost, congratulations to those of you who recently signed up to work with my famous "DDC Team" (Dan, Dawn, and Charlie)! I know they'll do an outstanding job in helping those of you who are newbies to avoid making costly mistakes.
There's a ton of garbage info online, in the chat rooms, from "friends of a friend," etc., and it's only costing people valuable time, money, and effort. "Team DDC" will definitely get you pointed and moving in the right direction from the outset.
Second, BIG congratulations and kudos to John (Seller, and not his real name) and James (Buyer, also not his real name) who are closed on selling/buying their NEMT business today with a minimum value of $800,000. I say "minimum" because we incorporated some creative incentives that can push the acquisition amount a bit higher based on near-future performance.
Both John and James gave me permission to share this information as long as I don't disclose names and location, so why do I share this particular acquisition, especially when we have even larger acquisitions in progress? Because it's a great success story!
John literally started his NEMT with a single used vehicle in 2019. He persevered and actually grew through the scamdemic and emerged even stronger on the other side. He had a very strong 2021 and 2022 has been even better.
Again, why do I share this success story? Trust me, I get it. An $800k+ acquisition isn't making anyone rich. John isn't becoming a multi-millionaire off this deal. However, consider John's ROI over the last 4 years.
In addition to making a living, saving some money over the last few years, and now coupled with today's payday, yeah, this is a BIG win for both John and James - especially against the backdrop of current inflation and terribly performing markets.
While everyone's investments accounts, portfolios, and associated assets have been in complete freefall over the last two years, John's best performing asset, his NEMT business, was only increasing in value. Likewise, James has now acquired a strong positive cash-flowing business with the ability to further grow and scale.
How was all of this possible? Well, the short answer is John's hard work - bottom line. Day in and day out John was "slinging hash to make that cash" and it's all paid off.
In drilling that down a bit further, John trusted the process and strategies we taught, he never got caught up 'chasing shiny objects' or listening to all the free 'brother-in-law advice' online, he worked hard and stayed the course. Today, John walks away with a nice payday and the ability to make a little more in the coming months.
Again, I get it, none of this makes John a multi-millionaire. He knows it. I know it. He's not retiring with a private jet, a mansion, and I can't share some bogus get-rich-quick-story, BUT what I can share is a great ROI over 4 years.
In addition to gaining a ton of business experience and having a nice 'wad of cash' in his pocket, John also has increased freedom and flexibility to start his next venture (I'll let you guess which one he's doing next - home care versus a broker business. 50-50 chance of getting it right!).
So, what's the moral of the story - besides me getting to brag on both John and James who we'll continue to be working with?
Well, the strategies we teach - they work! Just trust the process, remain consistent and diligent and work hard. We initially worked with John back in 2019, again in 2021 through the scamdemic and until the present day. We helped him with some strong agreements, brought both John and James together, and now, as they close, we all make money. It's a win-win-win for everyone.
I know, I know, I know. "Well, Joel, in my community we have this," or "In my state, Medicaid does that," or "Here in our county, we have to do this."
TRUST ME, I get it and I'm the first one telling everyone there's NO ONE-SIZE-FITS-ALL methodology. If there's a particular area that sucks, I'll tell you! If there are regulations that are a waste of time, I'll tell you! If you're about to waste time and money chasing shiny objects, I'll tell you! The list goes on.
Bottom line, everyone has a different community and a different hand of cards to be played. No two businesses are the same and different businesses require varied tactics, strategies, and adjustments.
Also, I know there's a LOT of C-R-A-Z-I-N-E-S-S going on - pretty much all over the place. Inflation. Operating expenses. Labor, etc. I know it can feel like you're pushing a boulder up the hill, but as John and James can both attest, there are still plenty of victories to be had.
Kudos to John and his success and to James who is acquiring a great business and starting a new chapter! We look forward to working with them both.
See you at the Top!
Joel E. Davis
