TRANSCRIPT

Hey, everyone. Fletcher Ladd here, and welcome to lecture two of the high ticket playbook.

Why fifty percent equity partnerships are better than one hundred percent? And this is the power of partnerships in high ticket ventures. And what you're gonna learn is what's built some of the biggest companies in the world.

So your father has probably spoken to you, and he's told you you're gonna own a hundred percent of your business your whole life. And I wanna do is I'm gonna break that mold and rewire your brain to really give you that mindset that's built, you know, some of the biggest companies in the world mainly from Silicon Valley, Facebook, Google, Apple, etcetera.

So what we are covering, number one introduction, number two why fifty percent of big pie is better than a hundred percent of a small one, Number three, thinking bigger, building a family office, a dynasty, as you as a man so you can have a legacy.

Number four, the real power of partnerships, and then we're gonna end it on a conclusion.

So as you guys know, this playbook is a thirty thousand foot overview of the high ticket accelerator, which is our start up program where we partner with you to build six, seven, eight, and nine figure companies, or even a unicorn company. We haven't done that yet, but I hope to, one day or do it with you. So if you're interested, visit high ticket ventures dot com forward slash apply to learn more about how to apply to the program.

So, again, who I am, my name is Fletcher Ladd. I'm the founder of multiple seven figure companies. I'm an expert in high ticket business models. I have over a decade of experience in building and scaling ventures.

I'm from Woodrow, Victoria, and, you know, I've built companies from as young as eighteen to a hundred thousand dollars a month in free cash flow. I've been able to sell some companies. I've been built multiple companies to eight figures. Right?

So that's that's who I am. And the guy with the Australian accent. Right? You don't really see many Australians given Harvard level business advice like this.

It's not common. Maybe if you study some of the big investment banks or private equity funds you might find this level of advice.

So introduction, the conventional wisdom, own as much as you can. So Felix Dennis was, you know, the founder of Maxim magazine, and he used to say in in his book, there's a chapter dedicated to this, he says, own as much as you can.

Now that is great advice if you own Maxim magazine, right? You buy you'd wanna buy back the shares of the company so you can own that company. But the the thing is, if you were say to Felix when he was getting started, you know, would you have grown faster if you had a rich business partner to go into business with? And he would have told you, of course, I would have.

Right? I wouldn't have had I probably would have fast tracked my time and then I would have been able to grow a lot faster, and it's true. Now, if you actually read the book and study it, what you'll notice is through throughout his journey as a businessman, he used to partner with, other smart business people and they pull they do a joint venture and they pull their resources together, and and they, you know, take the share of the risk, and they would do business together. Some of those business ideas just didn't work out.

Some of them did, some of them didn't. He he didn't have the Midas touch, so to speak, maybe he had it in reverse for some of his ideas. But the the thing is this, you don't need to own a hundred percent. Some people read this and they take this as as the gospel.

Now if you've got Facebook and you can keep it private without taking on any capital and you've got an awesome reinvestment plan where it just cash flows insane like nothing you've ever seen before, then of course you wanna own as much of that company as possible.

You'd wanna own the whole thing, but when you're getting started, you don't know if it's gonna be a moonshot company that produces eight to nine figures profit within a couple of years. You don't know that.

Right?

And, you know, there's a fear, the fear of losing control or giving away too much. People feel like if they delegate shares away to someone else that they're never going to be able to have the business do what they wanted to do. Right? Now if you look at mainly all successful SaaS companies, no one owns a hundred percent. In fact, they recommend that you dilute down more than what I would think is is, you know, reasonable. So you don't need to be owning a hundred percent of your entire entity to make money.

You just don't it it is not it it's you can you will be okay if you don't follow this advice. I can ensure you that, and I can if you were to look at Felix Dennis's portfolio at the time of death or at the time where he had the most entities in his portfolio, he wouldn't have owned a hundred percent of every single business. Of course, maximum, yes, but eventually that got sold on. Right?

So you don't need to own a hundred percent. And I get it, but here's the reality. I understand why you want to keep a hundred percent, and it's it's natural to, you know, what full control and reap the rewards. If you own a hundred percent of no one sees it's a private company, only your accountant is going to see your books.

Right? No one's gonna see behind, you know, you could have a a front garden that looks beautiful, but in the backyard no one really sees what's going on. No one really knows. No one can tell you what to do, but but it's that mindset.

Right? That that is going to destroy you and and really hold you back from hitting the big leagues, right, from playing at at the professional level. So let's take a step back and look at the bigger picture. Warren Buffett. So Warren Buffett is quoted if you watch his annual shareholder meetings.

He says part partnerships are more fun, and he brought he wouldn't become he would you know what he would be if he didn't partner with Charlie Munger. Everyone knows he would be the richest fund manager or money manager looking for companies to buy in Omaha, Nebraska.

But since he partnered with this lawyer, right, most people would hear, oh, I got a partner with a lawyer. They think that they're going to get stiffed somewhere or they're gonna get outplayed. There's gonna be a specific clause in an agreement that that eventually is gonna come up as the business gets successful, that's gonna hold them back from really making that big money. It's not true. Right? Charlie Munger is an ethical lawyer, and he said to Buffett, he said, we have to look for real companies to buy that have long term prospectus.

And that's what they did. They partnered together and they found great companies and they invested in them and did due diligence together and then it took Warren from the richest money manager in Omaha, Nebraska to one of the richest men in the entire world.

Right?

And the most successful ventures often built on strong partnerships. Because Warren Buffett, what he does day to day is he buys companies, make sure that the management strong, and then after, and he buys them either listed equities on the market or unlisted equities, which is just private companies LLCs or pty ltds. Typically they're c corps in America. And what he does is after the businesses needs are taken care of, the operational needs, marketing sales, and, you know, it's got enough cash reserves and reserves in the bank to keep the staff, you know, maybe twelve months of cash in the bank or twenty four months of cash in the bank and everything's taken care of.

Then he says, send the profit, the excess, the fat, over to me. And then it's Buffett's job to look for another company to buy. And he typically doesn't buy because a whole percentage of a company. He might only get half or seventy percent or eighty percent.

A lot of his portfolio, he doesn't own the whole thing.

Right? You don't need to own a hundred percent of your business.

But so why fifty percent of a big pie is better than a hundred percent of a small one?

So the math behind fifty percent of eight figures. So fifty percent of an eight figure business with fifty percent net profit, so if you're doing ten million, that's five million net. That's major money. That's better than a hundred percent of a six figure business that profits, let's say, two, three, four, five hundred grand a year.

Now the value of scale as the business grows, your fifty percent becomes more valuable, and the difference between ownership and wealth. Right? So you might own a business, but your own limiting beliefs and your risk appetite is holding you back from what you're truly capable of. I've seen so many entrepreneurs, they come to me, they show me their idea, or they show me what they've been doing for the past six years, or five years, or what they've been working on, and they've got a model that could make them twenty million dollars a year in revenue, with about five to ten million dollars of net profit if they ran it really well.

They were just an operational wizard. But they're never gonna get there because they're scared. They've got all of the elements of success lineup, maybe they needed a few tweaks, but they just were scared to put the foot on the gas because it was all on them. And when people partner together, what happens is that goes away.

They the the strength in numbers, right, that there is real strength in numbers, And when people partner together, they they feel this. It just happens naturally. It's just a bunch of men getting together. They just wanna go out there and conquer the market.

Believe me, this is how it works. Right? And and and just something magical happens. I don't know how to explain it.

And the speed of growth with partnerships. Right? So you grow faster with a partner who brings in complimentary skills. So if you wanted to you don't just wanna get into bed with someone because he's your friend.

Right? You might not even a hundred percent like this person, but you wanna be getting into bed with bedfellows, right, with someone, fellow men, so to speak, right, not not not not in that way, of course not.

You wanna be getting into bed, in business bed, with someone who can help you make money.

Right? Not just to make money, but are they going to be with you for the long term? Are they gonna be smart? Are they gonna make educated decisions with you? Are you are you gonna see eye to eye? Now seeing eye to eye is never gonna happen a hundred percent of the time, but a shareholder or a partnership agreement puts the law for you to in place, governs your shares, how decision major decisions are made, not putting, money in transact in certain projects over five thousand dollars without consulting another partner, things of this nature that every smart business owner has in place.

Right? Now you have the power of combined resources, expertise, and networks. If someone were to partner with me at High-tech Adventures, and their ad account gets shut down, I can make one call to a a guy who works inside of Facebook and boom, turns your ad account back on. Now if you partner with Joe Blow Down the Road, and your ad account gets shut down, he doesn't have those types of connections.

He can't level you up as a human being. He can't bring you into certain activities, certain networking events, bring you into more influential circles. He can't do that. But when you partner with the right partner, you can.

And if someone has been growing businesses in and out, they can just see things that you can't see. Now it's very hard, it's not it's not you can't just call up your mentor and be like, hey, can you partner with me? He'll say, I don't want to. He'll say, get it to eight figures and then we'll partner, and by the time you're there, you don't need him.

It's hard to find people who are willing to be with you and help you along that journey. And here's the African proverb, if and I love this one, this one's my favorite. If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.

Now let's go over some real world examples of successful partnerships.

So you wanna look at every great company in the world. No one owns a hundred percent. Look at the biggest companies on the stock exchange in any country.

There's always one person that has a majority stake, of course, and if you would ask them, are they the owner? They'd say, without a doubt, unequivocal they will tell you they're the owner.

Right?

Look at PayPal, they were Elon Musk was building that up, he did a joint venture with Peter Thiel, blew up, because they combined their mind power together.

Steve, it's what a jobs is to Wozniak. Right? Like, you have to find complimentary partners who who can really excel with you. So Wozniak was the he was the engineer.

He he built the hardware, coded it, put it together.

Jobs had the vision. He was the salesman.

Right?

And you can see down the bottom, you've got Google, Sergey Brin, the Google boys.

Some of the richest men in the world. They wouldn't be able to they don't even work in the business anymore. They still own majority they've got the majority control.

Larry Page, Sergei Brin, they're behind the scenes, probably sitting on an island on a yacht. Right?

So you have to understand that no one this this whole theory that, you know, this this one man is Rambo or Rocky is gonna go out there and just take on the whole world, it's not true. It doesn't work like that. You have to find a partner to partner with in business.

You have to do it. It it is a smart decision because this, you know, the Internet now with all the information out there makes you think that you can do it yourself. Maybe someone selling you a program and teaching you how to do something, they don't teach you to to partner with someone, but when you partner with someone you just take off. It's just I've seen it so many times. The number one thing that holds people back is not that they don't have the right information, it says they just don't have the right partner.

Now, let's change your optics. Let's transcend this.

Right? So thinking bigger, right, think big. Donald Trump had a book on that, it's called 'Think Big' and it's a good book. So I wanna talk to you about something that no one talks about and that's building a family office. So you as a man, you have to have a kid, which a baby, which has to be a man to carry on your last name, unless you have a woman, but typically a female is going to take the last name of a man when they get married.

So for your last name and your legacy to live on, you need to have a man, and that man has to be able to take over all of the assets that you've accumulated in the in your family office in your lifetime.

Right? So let's let's go into this. So, the best mindset to have is that this is not your last business. So High-tech Adventures, when you partner with High-tech Adventures like most smart people do, what they're doing is they go into this knowing that this business is going if they could get into a business with High-tech Adventures let's say you're watching this right now, if you can get into a business with high ticket adventures, get five million dollars of cash, put it in, real estate, five million to put in the listed equities, and then you have five million dollars for private businesses, and then you have cars, watches, houses, and and you travel, that would be success. If you could get in and then sell a business and do that, oh my god, you're wildly successful. You've set yourself up for life. You were never poor ever again.

Right? And the business is a stepping stone to greater things. And so let's talk about the vision of building a family office with multiple ventures. So the diagram to the right, let me educate you on this because it's a corporate structure, and it's typically true for pretty much every country. So the triangle represent and I'll use Australia for example because it's very simple law.

The Willow Family Trust is you could just insert your name there. Mine's Fletcher Ladd, so you could call it the Ladd Family Trust or whatever you wanna call it.

Ladd real estate, Ladd Capital.

So you've got the beneficiary at the top, which is you. Now you were this how it looks on paper is you have a a trustee company, which basically doesn't trade with anything, but it is acting as a trustee for the trust. Now the trust, you can't go and run a search on a trust in Australia at the current time that I make this. They're probably eventually gonna change it later on where you can do a search on someone for a trust.

Right? But the beneficiary is you, and you're the sole director and sole owner of the trustee company. And the trustee acts as the you have you always you never you never have the trustee for the trust. You always have the trustee company that doesn't trade just holding the the trust.

Right? Now the trust has certain benefits.

And what I like to do is have two more separate entities. One called last name real estate, last name partners. Now you have you can have single purpose entities that hold separate, you know, for example, you might buy a big building and you hold a separate that you might set up a separate trust holding holding the title of that, right, with the company. Now you might hear from certain accountants, they might say, but you could just hold everything in the the Willow Family Trust.

You can, but a trust is a flow through vehicle. And the goal is when you put the five million or a hundred thousand or whatever the number is in for you can see the mass moving now into the real estate company, you're not gonna sell the real estate. You're just gonna take the free cash flow from it and live off of that, and then you're eventually not even gonna live on it because you've got your businesses providing that awesome lifestyle for you. We're flying first class and you got fast cars etcetera.

What you're doing is just buying more real estate with with the dividends or or the free cash flow. You're paying down your loan or you could just buy the whole real estate in cash which which fathoms people. Right? That they go, I can't I can't do it, well then you can't afford it, you're broke.

If you can't put ten million dollars into something, you need to because it's not a lot US dollars too, not Australian, you need to change your mindset. Same with the, you know, the stock investing company.

You wanna put, you know, two and a half million dollars into NVIDIA because you think that they're building good infrastructure for AI, and then two and a half million dollars into Peter Thiel's company, Palantir, because you think he's gonna make educated investment decisions.

Right? So you're on two holdings, you don't own a hundred percent of them, but you've got two and a half million work in there and then another two and a half million, you got five million dollars in, you know, real estate that you own fully.

And then in the middle, you have your company that gave you that cash flow which you own fifty percent with high ticket ventures, and you partner with high ticket ventures because you wanted to go faster and further than going slower or maybe you could you could go pretty fast if you work on your own but you never gonna go far as we spoke about before. Right?

That is a good structure. Most people who make their first million dollars, they will just have one company that they own themselves as the beneficiary, so you can remove the trust, remove the trustee company, move the real estate company, remove the, you know, capital company, and it's just they own that.

Hundred percent. And that's it. And then they come in and then they set this up and they rearrange where they held their shares later on once they've made their money. That's what smart people do. They're not trying to set it up straight away because you're gonna get killed on legal fees and accounting fees, and then you're gonna have to pay a lot of administrative costs just to manage this.

But this is what people have when they set it up because now now now you're structured right, like a rich person.

Now, at High-tech Adventures, when someone partners with us, everyone knows that we have an awesome referral program.

So if you're a equity partner and you're getting success and you're on Instagram, people gonna message you and say, dude, how do you, you know, have this nice car? How are you traveling full time? How are you doing all these awesome activities? How do you have all these staff that are making you all this money? How are you a master of the universe?

And what you'll do is you'll tell them, you'll say, well, I joined High Ticket Adventures, and you'll send them a referral link. And if they go ahead and sign up through that referral link, what will happen is when they become an equity partner when once they go past stage two, you will get ten percent of a share of their business.

Now we have someone who's referred ten people, so I'll give you an example of their trust. Now their name is not Willow, but they they grow wealth from not only just their trading entity, but their trust owns ten percent of all of these other trading entities from referred partners that didn't even know them. They just found them on Instagram because they had an awesome lifestyle.

And you can see, they don't own a hundred percent of them, but if the business profits a hundred grand a month and that excess ten grand, would you you of course you would. It's passive shareholding. It's a free ride. So that's ten thousand because what happens is, High Ticket Adventures dilutes down. So the partner starting the company still has fifty percent. High Ticket Adventures goes down to forty and then you get the remaining if you refer someone.

Right? That's ten percent, ten percent, ten percent, that's thirty thousand. Right? It's free cash flow.

It's pretty much the effect of owning two hundred, three hundred fully paid off rental properties. And then you could take that money and then put it back into capital markets or hard asset real estate that's gonna cash flow. You can buy it in cash in full. You have to take on debt and and have the bank own it until eventually twenty five years or fifteen years or thirty years later, then you can, you know, take the title over fully.

Right? Pay thirty, forty, fifty, two hundred percent cost.

So the power of collective success, bigger networks, bigger opportunities, because at high ticket ventures, we run all of these in person mastermind events, and then if you're coming along, you're looking nice, you're jacked and tan because you've been following Gregor Gallagher's program, you got a business that's making you hundreds of thousands of dollars a month, you're, you know, doing jet skis in Dubai, you're in, you know, Africa riding around with all of the animals, you're doing all of these fun activities.

And what happens is people say I want to be like you, show me, and you just refer them in and you build out your portfolio because it's not about just one business, you have to think bigger. Yes, a hundred percent of your attention is going on to one entity. Of course it is. Why wouldn't it? But at the same time you're playing a much much bigger game.

This is the key and everyone who's ever made any serious money they all default to this structure. At the end of the day, they just have more companies.

Right? So you gotta think beyond one entity. Keeping a hundred percent ownership is small thinking, small think. Real wealth comes from building a portfolio of successful ventures. People say seven sources of income.

Right? One, two, three, four, five, six, seven. Eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, two hundred entities. You have two hundreds two hundred sources of income and then you have two hundred real estate properties. Now you're just a king. You've beaten the game. Thirty five years old, you have one.

You can't indestructible, everything's paid for in cash, no debt. You can you could go to a bank and say, 'hey, look at all these titles and let's get a, you know, evaluation and everything, of all the the whole what the family trust is worth and it gives you a two hundred million dollar or five hundred million dollar valuation, that's some serious money. And then he could say, alright, well, I'll let you leverage this thing up four times. Now now you're worth two billion if you wanna take on debt. Right? But you never do that, you never risk the whole farm, but that's just an example. And it takes time to build that, you gotta have free cash flow, but, you know, you're gonna build free cash flow, remember, from your company that you partner with with High Ticket Ventures.

So the potential of multiple income streams and diverse in investments. Right? Especially when you're buying a stock on the stock exchange, you don't complain that you don't own a hundred percent of it. You might buy because you buy because you think the price is gonna go up.

But what you're really buying is what once was a privately listed entity that one person formed or he set it up with partners. Most in most cases, he set it up with partners, companies that go public because those people, they're not your average bear. They're not trying to stay small. They they knew that they were gonna go public from the day that they started.

At least eighty percent of people on the stock exchange know that.

So remember the long term vision is own owning a family office. This is something that we teach at High Ticket Adventures, because we don't just want people to come in and then just make money and then just get a watch or a car. We want them to build real wealth because, you know, for example, if we've made money together in a business, at High Ticket Ventures, we get access to certain investment opportunities that others don't get access to, and we invite equity partners if they want to invest in some of these opportunities, because we we bet on sure things. We don't throw darts at a board.

Right? More money in the market is better.

And think about it. Right? So you wanna think about building a family office with numerous high ticket ventures. You wanna diversify your investments and spread your risk in the low risk smart opportunities, and you wanna focus on long term wealth and legacy, not just short term gains.

You're not just trying to take a photo of you flying on business class in Emirates, going to Dubai on your Instagram. No one cares. So it's two thousand twenty four. People wanna see you have a private jet and a yacht worth sixty million in Santorini.

That's what the game is now. Have yachts or have nots. The game's changed. There's a guy there with sixty cars on his Instagram. This isn't two thousand and ten anymore where you could take a photo of a Lamborghini and people would say, how'd you do it?

People want the jet now.

And this is jet structure. This is jet talk.

So let's talk about the real power of partnerships.

The benefits of of a fifty percent equity partnership. Right? So remember, you get access to resources, network, and expertise, shared risk, shared rewards, the power of collaboration and overcoming challenges. So you take your idea, you get the idea.

Right? This is how it works. People think, oh, you're just taking my idea.

That that that's my idea. People think an idea is value is value. An idea is worth nothing without flawless execution, but flawless execution is worth nothing without the idea. So you have to couple those two together.

So if you can find that this is why people come to Heidek Adventures. This is why we exist. People come to us because we know how to build eight and nine figure companies and then sell them, and do it at breakneck speed and bring them from the start of ideation in the start up stage to a a growth company. That's why people come to us.

It's the only reason they want a proven way to do it. And then what happens is they pull their idea and their reason and when we pull our resources, we give you the proven roadmap to do it. Right? If I said to go in a boat and go and sail somewhere without a map, you'd probably just end up wiped out.

But at Heitech Adventures, we're getting in, you know, a yacht and we're sailing with a proven captain, right, nothing like the Titanic.

Right? We've got the proven map. We've done it again and again and again.

Just like cooking, when you go to cook, right, when you go to you you heat the pan and you put the oil in then you crack the egg, right? You you there's a system to do it. Same with the start up. It's exact same reason, like if you go look at Y Combinator for SAS businesses, they've got a system.

They wouldn't have started six thousand companies and funded them if they didn't have a formula. You can't build a business without a formula. At High Ticket Ventures, we've got a formula. We know what works.

And remember the power of collaboration and overcoming challenges. If there's a crisis in the business, you have to have someone that you can depend on and you can call that is willing to lend you their Rolodex.

And remember, holding a hundred percent can be limiting. So you have the burden, you have to do everything yourself, slower growth due to limited resources.

Right? At High Ticket Ventures, if we need to raise money, if we need to, we are willing to dilute ourselves down, and I can make a call to some connections, and I can raise two to three million dollars very fast. Or when we're gonna go have an exit, I can call up some private equity firms or some sell side advisory firms, and they can connect me with ready to buy buyers for the business.

Most people can't do that. The person that you're partnering with just has the dreams and hopes the same as you do. We have real resources.

They're missing out on opportunities that come with strong partnerships. So if you go alone, you don't know what you're missing out on. You know, like I said in the last video, today is the last day that you're ever going to be this young again. Do you really wanna spend that time hoping that you're gonna figure it out or you wanna bet on a sure thing?

And most startups fail because they have bad bedfellows. There's a good, article out there by it's in the Harvard Business Review. It's why startups fail. You can go and read it. It's horse themed, horse racing themed because you have a jockey and the horse is the idea.

And in most cases, you've either have a bad jockey or a bad horse.

And when you're getting into business, you wanna get a a a rich partner who's a smart partner, who's done this before. Because then you're gonna leverage. Right? No one wants to hang out with the the business guy doing six.

Everyone who's doing eight figures, they don't wanna hang out with the guy doing six. They wanna hang out with the guy doing nine. So why would you get into partnership with someone who hasn't done what you want them to do? Don't take life advice from someone where you don't want what they have.

Right? So you must look at what someone has and you must say, well, I want that, and then you have to go learn off that person, if they're willing to teach you, or you have to to figure it out along the way by just studying what their moves are, and then copy those moves.

So let's do a case study. I'll give you a couple of my companies of how partnerships transform businesses. Right? So real examples from the portfolio.

Ecom Capital, I started that I gave fifty percent Sasha. Banks management, sixty three percent, owned by, High Ticket Ventures, gave thirty seven percent to Michael Noicos. Ecom brands, fifty percent to Johnny Silver, predictable mining is fifty fifty, same with predictable marketing. Fifty percent is gave it away.

Gave it away that person that people will work in the business. I'll give them the roadmap and they will work in the business and I'll make them successful.

Now, there is not one company here on this list that has not netted over seven figures in profit.

Right? So I understand this because I'd of course I do. I understand you have to give equity away. Getting people interested in a business, putting them in place as a director is just the the best thing.

Right? Because then you have responsibility, which is what you're supposed to have as a man.

Right? So Marco Nuekos, what happened with him? Gave him gave him a percentage of banks management. Jada Silver gave it he was, build a business with, PopNaps, grew up seven figures a month with Davey Fogarty, and I was growing, econ brands, brought him in, and I said, look, you know more than me about econ.

Let's partner together and do this together. Philip Pitch came up with the idea, joined Hard Dig Adventures, and he was a sales rep. He said, look, Fletcher, I wanna build a business.

And what we did was we set up Predictable Mining, which sells mining rigs, and we now sell mining rigs. He's in Dubai, travels globally, and he we have hundreds of clients at Predictable Mining.

Right? Fifty fifty. That was the and we run it out of, America.

So the big picture, creating wealth through partnerships. So it's not about ownership, it's about value creation.

The role of partnerships in scaling and sustaining growth. Right?

It's not so remember, it's not just about how to get to seven figures.

I can teach you how to get to seven figures.

That's how you bulk up there. But how do you stay there?

How do you maintain it? Year after year, how do you maintain it for ten years? Most people can't do that. They don't understand how to do it.

I'm gonna teach you in this training. And then how do you leverage partnerships to build long term wealth? Right? No one, what I just taught you just then, is going to hold your hand and help you do that.

They'll just say go find a good accountant. Well, how do you find you know how hard it is to find a good accountant?

Most accountants out there will screw you over because they just and I tell you this, if you figure this out, the account's gonna be asking you how do you do it.

You're better off learning this and doing it yourself, which is what I have done.

Now let's talk about how how to apply at high ticket accelerator. Right? So you've watched this, you're probably interested about high ticket accelerator. What I wanna do is just teach you how to apply and I'm only gonna teach you this once.

So we have a process here. So what you wanna do is you wanna watch our free training video. So you can get started by watching our free training and it teaches you the principles and methods to that guide our partnerships. So we have a training that teaches you the end to end of how to go from start up and how how we partner together and it explains the high ticket accelerator offer in more detail.

So this sets the stage. We don't partner with anyone unless they've watched this video. Like, this is the start of the application process. It sets the conditions.

You could call your onboarding if you want to. And High-tech Adventures helps entrepreneurs build businesses that solve niche problems and deliver world class results for clients. That's what we do. So if you wanna do that, watch this training, and you can schedule a call.

So after watching the training, you'll be prompted to schedule a call one of our team members, either someone on my team or myself depending on the time that you schedule it. And what we do is we'll discuss your goals. So we'll discuss the opportunity, you can ex explain to us what your skill set is and what idea or what market you'd like to go into.

And what we do is we're ready to partner with the experience opportune so for sorry. If you are ready to partner with the experienced entrepreneurs who have built and scaled multiple businesses, then you wanna schedule a call once you've watched the video. Don't just schedule it first. You have to watch the video. Because at the start of the call, we'll ask you have you watched it and we'll ask you two questions and we'll know straight away if you've watched it or not. We've just got that ability.

Now once you do schedule a call, you have to fill out a type form. And the type form, you know, this trips people up. It goes for about fifteen minutes, and we ask you to share us videos of your skill set and who you are right now. It it's like Y Combinator where you have to upload a video on your application form. Most people can't complete this, which just lets me know that they're not a good fit because they're not going to be able to build a real business. So you have to actually sit down and complete this application.

And if it looks good, we will do the Google Meet together and we'll ask you some questions and if it sounds like it's a good fit for both of us, then we'll invite you to join High Ticket Accelerator.

And you can join the world's first High Ticket Startup Accelerator and scale it at your business to eight figures with fifty percent net profit. And we explain it everything in the video is, you know, we teach you everything. And we explain everything to you. You're like, should you have an idea?

What if you have an existing business? We talk about all of this. But you have to complete this application once you book a call. I'm just giving you all of this now so you can understand because a lot of people, we get hundreds of emails every single day from people asking how do they apply and get accepted because most people are scared to apply because they they have the fear of rejection because they think that they're not gonna be able to be accepted again and that's just not true.

Maybe it just wasn't the right time and they try again in a year's time and then they do get accepted. Alright. So I just wanted to explain that process to you just once throughout this playbook so you understand.

So if any point in the journey you do want to, you know, go through with that process, now you know how to do it correctly. So that's it for this video. Let's get into the next one, and that's how to generate high ticket business ideas. And that is an awesome module, so let's do that right now.

SUMMARY

Discover why 50% equity partnerships are a powerful model for high-ticket businesses. Understand how this structure accelerates growth, enhances collaboration, and allows you to achieve greater success together.

TRANSCRIPT

Hey, everyone. Fletcher Ladd here, and welcome to lecture two of the high ticket playbook.

Why fifty percent equity partnerships are better than one hundred percent? And this is the power of partnerships in high ticket ventures. And what you're gonna learn is what's built some of the biggest companies in the world.

So your father has probably spoken to you, and he's told you you're gonna own a hundred percent of your business your whole life. And I wanna do is I'm gonna break that mold and rewire your brain to really give you that mindset that's built, you know, some of the biggest companies in the world mainly from Silicon Valley, Facebook, Google, Apple, etcetera.

So what we are covering, number one introduction, number two why fifty percent of big pie is better than a hundred percent of a small one, Number three, thinking bigger, building a family office, a dynasty, as you as a man so you can have a legacy.

Number four, the real power of partnerships, and then we're gonna end it on a conclusion.

So as you guys know, this playbook is a thirty thousand foot overview of the high ticket accelerator, which is our start up program where we partner with you to build six, seven, eight, and nine figure companies, or even a unicorn company. We haven't done that yet, but I hope to, one day or do it with you. So if you're interested, visit high ticket ventures dot com forward slash apply to learn more about how to apply to the program.

So, again, who I am, my name is Fletcher Ladd. I'm the founder of multiple seven figure companies. I'm an expert in high ticket business models. I have over a decade of experience in building and scaling ventures.

I'm from Woodrow, Victoria, and, you know, I've built companies from as young as eighteen to a hundred thousand dollars a month in free cash flow. I've been able to sell some companies. I've been built multiple companies to eight figures. Right?

So that's that's who I am. And the guy with the Australian accent. Right? You don't really see many Australians given Harvard level business advice like this.

It's not common. Maybe if you study some of the big investment banks or private equity funds you might find this level of advice.

So introduction, the conventional wisdom, own as much as you can. So Felix Dennis was, you know, the founder of Maxim magazine, and he used to say in in his book, there's a chapter dedicated to this, he says, own as much as you can.

Now that is great advice if you own Maxim magazine, right? You buy you'd wanna buy back the shares of the company so you can own that company. But the the thing is, if you were say to Felix when he was getting started, you know, would you have grown faster if you had a rich business partner to go into business with? And he would have told you, of course, I would have.

Right? I wouldn't have had I probably would have fast tracked my time and then I would have been able to grow a lot faster, and it's true. Now, if you actually read the book and study it, what you'll notice is through throughout his journey as a businessman, he used to partner with, other smart business people and they pull they do a joint venture and they pull their resources together, and and they, you know, take the share of the risk, and they would do business together. Some of those business ideas just didn't work out.

Some of them did, some of them didn't. He he didn't have the Midas touch, so to speak, maybe he had it in reverse for some of his ideas. But the the thing is this, you don't need to own a hundred percent. Some people read this and they take this as as the gospel.

Now if you've got Facebook and you can keep it private without taking on any capital and you've got an awesome reinvestment plan where it just cash flows insane like nothing you've ever seen before, then of course you wanna own as much of that company as possible.

You'd wanna own the whole thing, but when you're getting started, you don't know if it's gonna be a moonshot company that produces eight to nine figures profit within a couple of years. You don't know that.

Right?

And, you know, there's a fear, the fear of losing control or giving away too much. People feel like if they delegate shares away to someone else that they're never going to be able to have the business do what they wanted to do. Right? Now if you look at mainly all successful SaaS companies, no one owns a hundred percent. In fact, they recommend that you dilute down more than what I would think is is, you know, reasonable. So you don't need to be owning a hundred percent of your entire entity to make money.

You just don't it it is not it it's you can you will be okay if you don't follow this advice. I can ensure you that, and I can if you were to look at Felix Dennis's portfolio at the time of death or at the time where he had the most entities in his portfolio, he wouldn't have owned a hundred percent of every single business. Of course, maximum, yes, but eventually that got sold on. Right?

So you don't need to own a hundred percent. And I get it, but here's the reality. I understand why you want to keep a hundred percent, and it's it's natural to, you know, what full control and reap the rewards. If you own a hundred percent of no one sees it's a private company, only your accountant is going to see your books.

Right? No one's gonna see behind, you know, you could have a a front garden that looks beautiful, but in the backyard no one really sees what's going on. No one really knows. No one can tell you what to do, but but it's that mindset.

Right? That that is going to destroy you and and really hold you back from hitting the big leagues, right, from playing at at the professional level. So let's take a step back and look at the bigger picture. Warren Buffett. So Warren Buffett is quoted if you watch his annual shareholder meetings.

He says part partnerships are more fun, and he brought he wouldn't become he would you know what he would be if he didn't partner with Charlie Munger. Everyone knows he would be the richest fund manager or money manager looking for companies to buy in Omaha, Nebraska.

But since he partnered with this lawyer, right, most people would hear, oh, I got a partner with a lawyer. They think that they're going to get stiffed somewhere or they're gonna get outplayed. There's gonna be a specific clause in an agreement that that eventually is gonna come up as the business gets successful, that's gonna hold them back from really making that big money. It's not true. Right? Charlie Munger is an ethical lawyer, and he said to Buffett, he said, we have to look for real companies to buy that have long term prospectus.

And that's what they did. They partnered together and they found great companies and they invested in them and did due diligence together and then it took Warren from the richest money manager in Omaha, Nebraska to one of the richest men in the entire world.

Right?

And the most successful ventures often built on strong partnerships. Because Warren Buffett, what he does day to day is he buys companies, make sure that the management strong, and then after, and he buys them either listed equities on the market or unlisted equities, which is just private companies LLCs or pty ltds. Typically they're c corps in America. And what he does is after the businesses needs are taken care of, the operational needs, marketing sales, and, you know, it's got enough cash reserves and reserves in the bank to keep the staff, you know, maybe twelve months of cash in the bank or twenty four months of cash in the bank and everything's taken care of.

Then he says, send the profit, the excess, the fat, over to me. And then it's Buffett's job to look for another company to buy. And he typically doesn't buy because a whole percentage of a company. He might only get half or seventy percent or eighty percent.

A lot of his portfolio, he doesn't own the whole thing.

Right? You don't need to own a hundred percent of your business.

But so why fifty percent of a big pie is better than a hundred percent of a small one?

So the math behind fifty percent of eight figures. So fifty percent of an eight figure business with fifty percent net profit, so if you're doing ten million, that's five million net. That's major money. That's better than a hundred percent of a six figure business that profits, let's say, two, three, four, five hundred grand a year.

Now the value of scale as the business grows, your fifty percent becomes more valuable, and the difference between ownership and wealth. Right? So you might own a business, but your own limiting beliefs and your risk appetite is holding you back from what you're truly capable of. I've seen so many entrepreneurs, they come to me, they show me their idea, or they show me what they've been doing for the past six years, or five years, or what they've been working on, and they've got a model that could make them twenty million dollars a year in revenue, with about five to ten million dollars of net profit if they ran it really well.

They were just an operational wizard. But they're never gonna get there because they're scared. They've got all of the elements of success lineup, maybe they needed a few tweaks, but they just were scared to put the foot on the gas because it was all on them. And when people partner together, what happens is that goes away.

They the the strength in numbers, right, that there is real strength in numbers, And when people partner together, they they feel this. It just happens naturally. It's just a bunch of men getting together. They just wanna go out there and conquer the market.

Believe me, this is how it works. Right? And and and just something magical happens. I don't know how to explain it.

And the speed of growth with partnerships. Right? So you grow faster with a partner who brings in complimentary skills. So if you wanted to you don't just wanna get into bed with someone because he's your friend.

Right? You might not even a hundred percent like this person, but you wanna be getting into bed with bedfellows, right, with someone, fellow men, so to speak, right, not not not not in that way, of course not.

You wanna be getting into bed, in business bed, with someone who can help you make money.

Right? Not just to make money, but are they going to be with you for the long term? Are they gonna be smart? Are they gonna make educated decisions with you? Are you are you gonna see eye to eye? Now seeing eye to eye is never gonna happen a hundred percent of the time, but a shareholder or a partnership agreement puts the law for you to in place, governs your shares, how decision major decisions are made, not putting, money in transact in certain projects over five thousand dollars without consulting another partner, things of this nature that every smart business owner has in place.

Right? Now you have the power of combined resources, expertise, and networks. If someone were to partner with me at High-tech Adventures, and their ad account gets shut down, I can make one call to a a guy who works inside of Facebook and boom, turns your ad account back on. Now if you partner with Joe Blow Down the Road, and your ad account gets shut down, he doesn't have those types of connections.

He can't level you up as a human being. He can't bring you into certain activities, certain networking events, bring you into more influential circles. He can't do that. But when you partner with the right partner, you can.

And if someone has been growing businesses in and out, they can just see things that you can't see. Now it's very hard, it's not it's not you can't just call up your mentor and be like, hey, can you partner with me? He'll say, I don't want to. He'll say, get it to eight figures and then we'll partner, and by the time you're there, you don't need him.

It's hard to find people who are willing to be with you and help you along that journey. And here's the African proverb, if and I love this one, this one's my favorite. If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.

Now let's go over some real world examples of successful partnerships.

So you wanna look at every great company in the world. No one owns a hundred percent. Look at the biggest companies on the stock exchange in any country.

There's always one person that has a majority stake, of course, and if you would ask them, are they the owner? They'd say, without a doubt, unequivocal they will tell you they're the owner.

Right?

Look at PayPal, they were Elon Musk was building that up, he did a joint venture with Peter Thiel, blew up, because they combined their mind power together.

Steve, it's what a jobs is to Wozniak. Right? Like, you have to find complimentary partners who who can really excel with you. So Wozniak was the he was the engineer.

He he built the hardware, coded it, put it together.

Jobs had the vision. He was the salesman.

Right?

And you can see down the bottom, you've got Google, Sergey Brin, the Google boys.

Some of the richest men in the world. They wouldn't be able to they don't even work in the business anymore. They still own majority they've got the majority control.

Larry Page, Sergei Brin, they're behind the scenes, probably sitting on an island on a yacht. Right?

So you have to understand that no one this this whole theory that, you know, this this one man is Rambo or Rocky is gonna go out there and just take on the whole world, it's not true. It doesn't work like that. You have to find a partner to partner with in business.

You have to do it. It it is a smart decision because this, you know, the Internet now with all the information out there makes you think that you can do it yourself. Maybe someone selling you a program and teaching you how to do something, they don't teach you to to partner with someone, but when you partner with someone you just take off. It's just I've seen it so many times. The number one thing that holds people back is not that they don't have the right information, it says they just don't have the right partner.

Now, let's change your optics. Let's transcend this.

Right? So thinking bigger, right, think big. Donald Trump had a book on that, it's called 'Think Big' and it's a good book. So I wanna talk to you about something that no one talks about and that's building a family office. So you as a man, you have to have a kid, which a baby, which has to be a man to carry on your last name, unless you have a woman, but typically a female is going to take the last name of a man when they get married.

So for your last name and your legacy to live on, you need to have a man, and that man has to be able to take over all of the assets that you've accumulated in the in your family office in your lifetime.

Right? So let's let's go into this. So, the best mindset to have is that this is not your last business. So High-tech Adventures, when you partner with High-tech Adventures like most smart people do, what they're doing is they go into this knowing that this business is going if they could get into a business with High-tech Adventures let's say you're watching this right now, if you can get into a business with high ticket adventures, get five million dollars of cash, put it in, real estate, five million to put in the listed equities, and then you have five million dollars for private businesses, and then you have cars, watches, houses, and and you travel, that would be success. If you could get in and then sell a business and do that, oh my god, you're wildly successful. You've set yourself up for life. You were never poor ever again.

Right? And the business is a stepping stone to greater things. And so let's talk about the vision of building a family office with multiple ventures. So the diagram to the right, let me educate you on this because it's a corporate structure, and it's typically true for pretty much every country. So the triangle represent and I'll use Australia for example because it's very simple law.

The Willow Family Trust is you could just insert your name there. Mine's Fletcher Ladd, so you could call it the Ladd Family Trust or whatever you wanna call it.

Ladd real estate, Ladd Capital.

So you've got the beneficiary at the top, which is you. Now you were this how it looks on paper is you have a a trustee company, which basically doesn't trade with anything, but it is acting as a trustee for the trust. Now the trust, you can't go and run a search on a trust in Australia at the current time that I make this. They're probably eventually gonna change it later on where you can do a search on someone for a trust.

Right? But the beneficiary is you, and you're the sole director and sole owner of the trustee company. And the trustee acts as the you have you always you never you never have the trustee for the trust. You always have the trustee company that doesn't trade just holding the the trust.

Right? Now the trust has certain benefits.

And what I like to do is have two more separate entities. One called last name real estate, last name partners. Now you have you can have single purpose entities that hold separate, you know, for example, you might buy a big building and you hold a separate that you might set up a separate trust holding holding the title of that, right, with the company. Now you might hear from certain accountants, they might say, but you could just hold everything in the the Willow Family Trust.

You can, but a trust is a flow through vehicle. And the goal is when you put the five million or a hundred thousand or whatever the number is in for you can see the mass moving now into the real estate company, you're not gonna sell the real estate. You're just gonna take the free cash flow from it and live off of that, and then you're eventually not even gonna live on it because you've got your businesses providing that awesome lifestyle for you. We're flying first class and you got fast cars etcetera.

What you're doing is just buying more real estate with with the dividends or or the free cash flow. You're paying down your loan or you could just buy the whole real estate in cash which which fathoms people. Right? That they go, I can't I can't do it, well then you can't afford it, you're broke.

If you can't put ten million dollars into something, you need to because it's not a lot US dollars too, not Australian, you need to change your mindset. Same with the, you know, the stock investing company.

You wanna put, you know, two and a half million dollars into NVIDIA because you think that they're building good infrastructure for AI, and then two and a half million dollars into Peter Thiel's company, Palantir, because you think he's gonna make educated investment decisions.

Right? So you're on two holdings, you don't own a hundred percent of them, but you've got two and a half million work in there and then another two and a half million, you got five million dollars in, you know, real estate that you own fully.

And then in the middle, you have your company that gave you that cash flow which you own fifty percent with high ticket ventures, and you partner with high ticket ventures because you wanted to go faster and further than going slower or maybe you could you could go pretty fast if you work on your own but you never gonna go far as we spoke about before. Right?

That is a good structure. Most people who make their first million dollars, they will just have one company that they own themselves as the beneficiary, so you can remove the trust, remove the trustee company, move the real estate company, remove the, you know, capital company, and it's just they own that.

Hundred percent. And that's it. And then they come in and then they set this up and they rearrange where they held their shares later on once they've made their money. That's what smart people do. They're not trying to set it up straight away because you're gonna get killed on legal fees and accounting fees, and then you're gonna have to pay a lot of administrative costs just to manage this.

But this is what people have when they set it up because now now now you're structured right, like a rich person.

Now, at High-tech Adventures, when someone partners with us, everyone knows that we have an awesome referral program.

So if you're a equity partner and you're getting success and you're on Instagram, people gonna message you and say, dude, how do you, you know, have this nice car? How are you traveling full time? How are you doing all these awesome activities? How do you have all these staff that are making you all this money? How are you a master of the universe?

And what you'll do is you'll tell them, you'll say, well, I joined High Ticket Adventures, and you'll send them a referral link. And if they go ahead and sign up through that referral link, what will happen is when they become an equity partner when once they go past stage two, you will get ten percent of a share of their business.

Now we have someone who's referred ten people, so I'll give you an example of their trust. Now their name is not Willow, but they they grow wealth from not only just their trading entity, but their trust owns ten percent of all of these other trading entities from referred partners that didn't even know them. They just found them on Instagram because they had an awesome lifestyle.

And you can see, they don't own a hundred percent of them, but if the business profits a hundred grand a month and that excess ten grand, would you you of course you would. It's passive shareholding. It's a free ride. So that's ten thousand because what happens is, High Ticket Adventures dilutes down. So the partner starting the company still has fifty percent. High Ticket Adventures goes down to forty and then you get the remaining if you refer someone.

Right? That's ten percent, ten percent, ten percent, that's thirty thousand. Right? It's free cash flow.

It's pretty much the effect of owning two hundred, three hundred fully paid off rental properties. And then you could take that money and then put it back into capital markets or hard asset real estate that's gonna cash flow. You can buy it in cash in full. You have to take on debt and and have the bank own it until eventually twenty five years or fifteen years or thirty years later, then you can, you know, take the title over fully.

Right? Pay thirty, forty, fifty, two hundred percent cost.

So the power of collective success, bigger networks, bigger opportunities, because at high ticket ventures, we run all of these in person mastermind events, and then if you're coming along, you're looking nice, you're jacked and tan because you've been following Gregor Gallagher's program, you got a business that's making you hundreds of thousands of dollars a month, you're, you know, doing jet skis in Dubai, you're in, you know, Africa riding around with all of the animals, you're doing all of these fun activities.

And what happens is people say I want to be like you, show me, and you just refer them in and you build out your portfolio because it's not about just one business, you have to think bigger. Yes, a hundred percent of your attention is going on to one entity. Of course it is. Why wouldn't it? But at the same time you're playing a much much bigger game.

This is the key and everyone who's ever made any serious money they all default to this structure. At the end of the day, they just have more companies.

Right? So you gotta think beyond one entity. Keeping a hundred percent ownership is small thinking, small think. Real wealth comes from building a portfolio of successful ventures. People say seven sources of income.

Right? One, two, three, four, five, six, seven. Eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, two hundred entities. You have two hundreds two hundred sources of income and then you have two hundred real estate properties. Now you're just a king. You've beaten the game. Thirty five years old, you have one.

You can't indestructible, everything's paid for in cash, no debt. You can you could go to a bank and say, 'hey, look at all these titles and let's get a, you know, evaluation and everything, of all the the whole what the family trust is worth and it gives you a two hundred million dollar or five hundred million dollar valuation, that's some serious money. And then he could say, alright, well, I'll let you leverage this thing up four times. Now now you're worth two billion if you wanna take on debt. Right? But you never do that, you never risk the whole farm, but that's just an example. And it takes time to build that, you gotta have free cash flow, but, you know, you're gonna build free cash flow, remember, from your company that you partner with with High Ticket Ventures.

So the potential of multiple income streams and diverse in investments. Right? Especially when you're buying a stock on the stock exchange, you don't complain that you don't own a hundred percent of it. You might buy because you buy because you think the price is gonna go up.

But what you're really buying is what once was a privately listed entity that one person formed or he set it up with partners. Most in most cases, he set it up with partners, companies that go public because those people, they're not your average bear. They're not trying to stay small. They they knew that they were gonna go public from the day that they started.

At least eighty percent of people on the stock exchange know that.

So remember the long term vision is own owning a family office. This is something that we teach at High Ticket Adventures, because we don't just want people to come in and then just make money and then just get a watch or a car. We want them to build real wealth because, you know, for example, if we've made money together in a business, at High Ticket Ventures, we get access to certain investment opportunities that others don't get access to, and we invite equity partners if they want to invest in some of these opportunities, because we we bet on sure things. We don't throw darts at a board.

Right? More money in the market is better.

And think about it. Right? So you wanna think about building a family office with numerous high ticket ventures. You wanna diversify your investments and spread your risk in the low risk smart opportunities, and you wanna focus on long term wealth and legacy, not just short term gains.

You're not just trying to take a photo of you flying on business class in Emirates, going to Dubai on your Instagram. No one cares. So it's two thousand twenty four. People wanna see you have a private jet and a yacht worth sixty million in Santorini.

That's what the game is now. Have yachts or have nots. The game's changed. There's a guy there with sixty cars on his Instagram. This isn't two thousand and ten anymore where you could take a photo of a Lamborghini and people would say, how'd you do it?

People want the jet now.

And this is jet structure. This is jet talk.

So let's talk about the real power of partnerships.

The benefits of of a fifty percent equity partnership. Right? So remember, you get access to resources, network, and expertise, shared risk, shared rewards, the power of collaboration and overcoming challenges. So you take your idea, you get the idea.

Right? This is how it works. People think, oh, you're just taking my idea.

That that that's my idea. People think an idea is value is value. An idea is worth nothing without flawless execution, but flawless execution is worth nothing without the idea. So you have to couple those two together.

So if you can find that this is why people come to Heidek Adventures. This is why we exist. People come to us because we know how to build eight and nine figure companies and then sell them, and do it at breakneck speed and bring them from the start of ideation in the start up stage to a a growth company. That's why people come to us.

It's the only reason they want a proven way to do it. And then what happens is they pull their idea and their reason and when we pull our resources, we give you the proven roadmap to do it. Right? If I said to go in a boat and go and sail somewhere without a map, you'd probably just end up wiped out.

But at Heitech Adventures, we're getting in, you know, a yacht and we're sailing with a proven captain, right, nothing like the Titanic.

Right? We've got the proven map. We've done it again and again and again.

Just like cooking, when you go to cook, right, when you go to you you heat the pan and you put the oil in then you crack the egg, right? You you there's a system to do it. Same with the start up. It's exact same reason, like if you go look at Y Combinator for SAS businesses, they've got a system.

They wouldn't have started six thousand companies and funded them if they didn't have a formula. You can't build a business without a formula. At High Ticket Ventures, we've got a formula. We know what works.

And remember the power of collaboration and overcoming challenges. If there's a crisis in the business, you have to have someone that you can depend on and you can call that is willing to lend you their Rolodex.

And remember, holding a hundred percent can be limiting. So you have the burden, you have to do everything yourself, slower growth due to limited resources.

Right? At High Ticket Ventures, if we need to raise money, if we need to, we are willing to dilute ourselves down, and I can make a call to some connections, and I can raise two to three million dollars very fast. Or when we're gonna go have an exit, I can call up some private equity firms or some sell side advisory firms, and they can connect me with ready to buy buyers for the business.

Most people can't do that. The person that you're partnering with just has the dreams and hopes the same as you do. We have real resources.

They're missing out on opportunities that come with strong partnerships. So if you go alone, you don't know what you're missing out on. You know, like I said in the last video, today is the last day that you're ever going to be this young again. Do you really wanna spend that time hoping that you're gonna figure it out or you wanna bet on a sure thing?

And most startups fail because they have bad bedfellows. There's a good, article out there by it's in the Harvard Business Review. It's why startups fail. You can go and read it. It's horse themed, horse racing themed because you have a jockey and the horse is the idea.

And in most cases, you've either have a bad jockey or a bad horse.

And when you're getting into business, you wanna get a a a rich partner who's a smart partner, who's done this before. Because then you're gonna leverage. Right? No one wants to hang out with the the business guy doing six.

Everyone who's doing eight figures, they don't wanna hang out with the guy doing six. They wanna hang out with the guy doing nine. So why would you get into partnership with someone who hasn't done what you want them to do? Don't take life advice from someone where you don't want what they have.

Right? So you must look at what someone has and you must say, well, I want that, and then you have to go learn off that person, if they're willing to teach you, or you have to to figure it out along the way by just studying what their moves are, and then copy those moves.

So let's do a case study. I'll give you a couple of my companies of how partnerships transform businesses. Right? So real examples from the portfolio.

Ecom Capital, I started that I gave fifty percent Sasha. Banks management, sixty three percent, owned by, High Ticket Ventures, gave thirty seven percent to Michael Noicos. Ecom brands, fifty percent to Johnny Silver, predictable mining is fifty fifty, same with predictable marketing. Fifty percent is gave it away.

Gave it away that person that people will work in the business. I'll give them the roadmap and they will work in the business and I'll make them successful.

Now, there is not one company here on this list that has not netted over seven figures in profit.

Right? So I understand this because I'd of course I do. I understand you have to give equity away. Getting people interested in a business, putting them in place as a director is just the the best thing.

Right? Because then you have responsibility, which is what you're supposed to have as a man.

Right? So Marco Nuekos, what happened with him? Gave him gave him a percentage of banks management. Jada Silver gave it he was, build a business with, PopNaps, grew up seven figures a month with Davey Fogarty, and I was growing, econ brands, brought him in, and I said, look, you know more than me about econ.

Let's partner together and do this together. Philip Pitch came up with the idea, joined Hard Dig Adventures, and he was a sales rep. He said, look, Fletcher, I wanna build a business.

And what we did was we set up Predictable Mining, which sells mining rigs, and we now sell mining rigs. He's in Dubai, travels globally, and he we have hundreds of clients at Predictable Mining.

Right? Fifty fifty. That was the and we run it out of, America.

So the big picture, creating wealth through partnerships. So it's not about ownership, it's about value creation.

The role of partnerships in scaling and sustaining growth. Right?

It's not so remember, it's not just about how to get to seven figures.

I can teach you how to get to seven figures.

That's how you bulk up there. But how do you stay there?

How do you maintain it? Year after year, how do you maintain it for ten years? Most people can't do that. They don't understand how to do it.

I'm gonna teach you in this training. And then how do you leverage partnerships to build long term wealth? Right? No one, what I just taught you just then, is going to hold your hand and help you do that.

They'll just say go find a good accountant. Well, how do you find you know how hard it is to find a good accountant?

Most accountants out there will screw you over because they just and I tell you this, if you figure this out, the account's gonna be asking you how do you do it.

You're better off learning this and doing it yourself, which is what I have done.

Now let's talk about how how to apply at high ticket accelerator. Right? So you've watched this, you're probably interested about high ticket accelerator. What I wanna do is just teach you how to apply and I'm only gonna teach you this once.

So we have a process here. So what you wanna do is you wanna watch our free training video. So you can get started by watching our free training and it teaches you the principles and methods to that guide our partnerships. So we have a training that teaches you the end to end of how to go from start up and how how we partner together and it explains the high ticket accelerator offer in more detail.

So this sets the stage. We don't partner with anyone unless they've watched this video. Like, this is the start of the application process. It sets the conditions.

You could call your onboarding if you want to. And High-tech Adventures helps entrepreneurs build businesses that solve niche problems and deliver world class results for clients. That's what we do. So if you wanna do that, watch this training, and you can schedule a call.

So after watching the training, you'll be prompted to schedule a call one of our team members, either someone on my team or myself depending on the time that you schedule it. And what we do is we'll discuss your goals. So we'll discuss the opportunity, you can ex explain to us what your skill set is and what idea or what market you'd like to go into.

And what we do is we're ready to partner with the experience opportune so for sorry. If you are ready to partner with the experienced entrepreneurs who have built and scaled multiple businesses, then you wanna schedule a call once you've watched the video. Don't just schedule it first. You have to watch the video. Because at the start of the call, we'll ask you have you watched it and we'll ask you two questions and we'll know straight away if you've watched it or not. We've just got that ability.

Now once you do schedule a call, you have to fill out a type form. And the type form, you know, this trips people up. It goes for about fifteen minutes, and we ask you to share us videos of your skill set and who you are right now. It it's like Y Combinator where you have to upload a video on your application form. Most people can't complete this, which just lets me know that they're not a good fit because they're not going to be able to build a real business. So you have to actually sit down and complete this application.

And if it looks good, we will do the Google Meet together and we'll ask you some questions and if it sounds like it's a good fit for both of us, then we'll invite you to join High Ticket Accelerator.

And you can join the world's first High Ticket Startup Accelerator and scale it at your business to eight figures with fifty percent net profit. And we explain it everything in the video is, you know, we teach you everything. And we explain everything to you. You're like, should you have an idea?

What if you have an existing business? We talk about all of this. But you have to complete this application once you book a call. I'm just giving you all of this now so you can understand because a lot of people, we get hundreds of emails every single day from people asking how do they apply and get accepted because most people are scared to apply because they they have the fear of rejection because they think that they're not gonna be able to be accepted again and that's just not true.

Maybe it just wasn't the right time and they try again in a year's time and then they do get accepted. Alright. So I just wanted to explain that process to you just once throughout this playbook so you understand.

So if any point in the journey you do want to, you know, go through with that process, now you know how to do it correctly. So that's it for this video. Let's get into the next one, and that's how to generate high ticket business ideas. And that is an awesome module, so let's do that right now.
