Anyone tried this? I have and I did quite well with it.

Just wanted to get the fastlane viewpoint on rule 1. maybe
it's here somewhere but as this wonderful forum grows,
it's harder to find.

I saw Phil Town in person touting the same tools he still
touts today.

I read his book and if you apply the principles they are
simple and effective.

Being an accountant, you couldn't get a better education
on how to determine the value of a company.

Any other thoughts? More slowlane on this standpoint
but when you start making money you have to put it
somewhere right???
