5 Takeaways from “How to Be a Capitalist Without Any Capital”

How to Be a Capitalist Without Any Capital” by Nathan Latka is a book purely for entrepreneurs. If you are a standard 9-5 employee, the concepts in this book may overwhelm you.

However, this book is definitely for you if you have been reading entrepreneurial books and perhaps started a business. In fact, it’s one of the best books I have ever read.

I love this book because it moves along fast and has massive concepts. Buying companies, selling companies for huge payouts, and buying equity from other companies are all part of the book.

Mr. Latka shows us how simple becoming an entrepreneur and a business person truly is—all you have to do is ask. Negotiate when you don’t need to buy or sell anything. 

1) Multiplying your income streams involves taking ideas from one income stream and combining them with others. Think of it like the McDonald’s combo meal. 

2) Selling your company is all about momentum and timing. If you can get three years’ worth of cash upfront from your business, sell it. Use the money to invest and create leverage towards another company.

3) The best time to start a business is when you are young and unattached. This way, you don’t have to consider other variables in the equation.

4) Copy your competitors. Most business ideas come from someone else. Figure out why they are successful, how you can improve their products, and synergize the new products with your existing resources. 

5) Negotiate with everything possible. This can be rental properties, the software you use, and buying other people’s businesses. All you have to do is ask.

Entrepreneurship is not for everyone. It’s probably not for over 90% of the people in America. But if you can speak the language, move at the speed of light, and understand leverage, it may be a game you can play.

I love the speed and intensity of this book. It makes you feel like you are talking directly to an entrepreneur. It resembles an expanded retelling of “Rich Dad Poor Dad.”

If you are a salaried worker (like me), it will behoove you to start a business—even if it is small. I have learned so much about business and entrepreneurship by starting a blog and releasing books.

This book is one of my 15 top books to read. Truly a masterpiece and can increase your business confidence tenfold.
