Ian Botes | DPU Founder

100% Look, I build companies, scale software, build distribution channels etc. But in reality my greatest ability is the power to reach exceptionally high levels of Enterprise Value over years Every startup founder I mentor, every team member I onboard, every client I onboard, every SOP I write, every piece of educational knowledge I write, every community I run, every profitable subscription offer I'm running, every customer I get, every SaaS I own, every income stream I establish, every equity deal I sign, these makeup my metaphorical "bag of holdings" And as time progresses (lets look at 6 years from now), they build up: Equity, Income, Team Members, Knowledge Base Eventually I have a portfolio of assets that I can use to build as many companies I want, make a fortune in consistent income by working 4 hours a day doing what I love, put food on the table for 100s to thousands of people directly or indirectly, and build something that will last a lifetime If you're reading this and you're in DPU, this could be you one day if you decide to not graduate from DPU and keep going Godspeed, Ian

@samuelbrand01 Inspiring brother

The Journey of a thousand miles starts with a step

@zuess05 Get equity from every client you get, stack it, add an extra couple 100k in networth as a result If you're talking about users/customers, its DMing every single one of them on a regular basis - Drastic churn reduction A 300 user SaaS at $20/mo is way better than a 3000 one

As a founder What is the absolute best investment you can make?

The Path Of The Filosophist

@hida_artemis Sounds like a cool idea, just had to get everyone using it at the same time haha Hows the SaaS going since we last talked Arte?

I'm cooking something what if you can BUILD your own portfolio world 👀

The goal should be to build an Enterprise Holding, not a "brand" or "income stream" Will not explain

@TimJayas Random, but I shared you with news about a tool that teaches you how to master distribution as massive scale (aside from Reddit), some time ago in the DMs Its fully operational, no testing needed Let me know if you got the DM

Building an app is 20% coding and 80% telling people it exists At the start you'll feel like you're screaming into the void It's really important you don't stop there.

@Ludvig141223 This guy knows ball

You litteraly can’t force any outcome Your instinct is all you have The only thing you can do with willpower without going insane and getting stuck is setting up your baseline mechanism and instinct Thyroid armor makes this 10x easier

@GasperCrepinsek If your product solution is education, how do you sell to cold traffic without them knowing you? Do you use a low ticket one time community offer where you nurture, so by the time you start selling seats for a low ticket subscription product they already trust you?

In the past 20 months, I've launched 41 digital products that collectively pulled in $111k in revenue. No viral moments. No ads. No scams. Ask me anything. I'll answer every question for the next 24 hours: ↓↓↓

@archer_uwu Honestly the game is fun, the only thing that's annoying is the fact that it doesn't feel like you're in an apocalypse

lol

@JoshuaLisec It has always been a good idea, the problem is the mass brainwashing and narrative being pushed that the nuclear family is bad

See? Marriage is still a good idea. Thanks for sharing.

Noob: Make $15k/mo ($600 client) Smurf: Add An Extra $15k/mo ($5000 client) Join DPU to understand how this works, and why this is the difference between being worth $10k, and being worth 7 figures

@ArakYetOfficial 100%, its a high level understanding and you need to solve problems for years straight before you get there, or even think its important

@RealIanBotes depends what you’re optimizing for… an enterprise holding is leverage. -multiple bets, shared distribution, compounding upside but it only works after you’ve nailed one thing: cash flow, repeatable sales, clear positioning

@lukepierceops @jasoncfox lmao

Nothing will increase your close rate more than having a baby to whip out mid call. Why is nobody talking about this?

The comments are pure GOLD, its like a sudden culmination of consciousness fused together and came up with exactly the same response, no matter where you're from Beautiful

@arkangeljoy Skyrim was lightning in the bottle It hit every single itch, which is why its been released more than 99% of games that exist Back in the day it was a miracle, you only think its bad now cause you have so much to compare it to since its inception

My additional hot take is that the hate that Fallout 4 gets about how it’s “A great sandbox but a bad RPG” also applies to Skyrim but someone might kill me.

@Lukealexxander @bryan_johnson 😂😂😂

@bryan_johnson Yeah Bryan leeches on the balls next

Leeches to improve testosterone and sexual function. Will look into this and see if worth doing an experiment.

LMAO

@iblamejulius @andreeaecom True though

@andreeaecom You were smart enough to create a fake female profile on X just so all the niggas flood you with advice. You’ll do just fine.

I’m starting an ecom brand. What would you do if you would start from 0? Would appreciate any advice!
