Nikonomics - The Economics of Small Business
My mom always told me "There's no such thing as a dumb question... Only dumb people!"
What she meant was that those who DON'T ask questions are the dumb ones! At least, that's what makes me feel better about asking so many questions :)
I've bought, run & sold dozens of companies in the SMB space, with multiple 7-figure exits. Over the past 5 years my companies have generated over $100M of revenue and Millions of dollars of shareholder value.
Now I let my curiosity drive as I interview Entrepreneurs and ask them to walk me through how their businesses work.
Nikonomics is a place for curious Entrepreneurs and Wantraprenuers hungry to learn. So come join our big group of DUMB people, ask some questions and maybe we will learn a thing or two together.
