I'm at the beginning of my journey. I've had a couple of business ideas that I think have good scale and magnitude. I'm trying to whittle those down now based on my personal likes and what I think will have the highest Wealth Acceleration Factor (WAF) for me.
One thing I am fascinated by is a very brief section in Fastlane where @MJ DeMarco talks about the average valuation multiplier applied to your annual margins to determine the sale price of your business. (In other words a company that nets you a million a year might sell for anywhere from a million to 17 million depending on what industry you're in).
