Welcome to the Home Service Marketer newsletter.
In today’s newsletter, we will discuss Warren Buffett's rise and how he generated 50% annual returns through the 1950s.
It is approximately a 4-minute read.
Leveraging Knowledge
What to do: If you don’t know who Buffett is or have never studied him you need to stop everything you’re doing this instant.
Why you need to: Warren is the best investor to ever live and has laid out the playbook for identifying and building the best businesses in the world.
Why it will benefit you: If you do not stop everything you’re doing to study him, his mental models, and his investment successes and failures, you are doing yourself and your business a major disservice.
Nobody has ever laid out the playbook better.
How to identify great business models
The importance of having a great margin of safety
How to value your business.
We will discuss a specific operator in the upcoming newsletter who is taking advantage of businesses with annual revenue between $1 and $10M.
How is he doing this? Business owners lack an understanding of their business's worth, and he is leveraging that opportunity to become the next Buffett.

1950’s Warren Buffett:
During the 1950s, when Buffett was on the rise, he worked with much less capital than he has now, allowing him to be much more versatile and generate outsized returns.
Through the 1950’s Buffett earned an annualized average return of 50%.
Let’s put this into perspective.
$100,000 investment with Warren in the 1950’s would have turned into $5,776,503. Representing a total return of 5676%. Almost unbelievable.
He accomplished this as an investor taking minority stakes in businesses with high-level operators, low competition, and a long runway for growth.
Why am I telling you this? Because another investor/operator is running the same playbook as Buffett right now, and many of his investments are in the home services industry.
In a short period of time, he has built a portfolio of businesses worth $500M, and I expect to see this turn into $100 Billion over the next few decades.
Want to know who it is? Want to know how he is doing it?
Catch you in the next one,
Andy
