This is the number one lever we can use to flip this country.
Black dudes do it all the time they’re kinda clowned for it like mayyneeee I got me a LLc I’m a CEO
Like maybe don’t be that dumb and cringe but frame everything you do as a smb owner as an operator/ boutique PE/ holding co type thing.
Speak in like those terms. Like you’re a partner and you just started your own small fund and you’re targeting ____x_____ industry and you see huge potential.
When it’s framed like that, you dress well, wear a nice button down and act the part you’re not some club in a ram2500 who owns a roofing company you’re a businessman, you’re in private equity, you run a family office.
It’s going to absolutely drive guys who’ve gone through IB and work with institutional capital up a fucking wall they’ll shit on you sneer at you call you a larp or a garage fund. But your dates your wife, your daughter your in-laws for the most part they won’t know. They just know you do business and you carry yourself serious and well. “ what does ur dad do” “uhhh he does meetings and invests idk” that’s the extent of what women think about business.
Can you pay for shit that what matters. Give them their christian gray fantasy, make yourself important kinda act the part and fake it till you make it. Do well for a while and you can raise some money and be legit.
No one’s gunna pry no one’s gunna care.
If they’re gunna ship all the jobs away the Indians are gunna undercut eveyone and ruin our social contract. Let’s just say you know what… fuck em fuck the whole system and just push guys to own their own destiny and upside. It’s the American way the way things have been for millenia. Corporate wage slavery is a new invention. Rip the prestige and sexiness from their hands they don’t own a monopoly on it.
Frame it like this, give guys a pass and prestige for doing their own thing and doing the unsexy boring shit. Women will love it and dudes will follow. The hurrr durrrr pick up a wrench go blue collar get into the trades brotherrrr. Yeah that doesn’t sell to a majority of guys. They don’t want to be seen as pickup truck obsessed gas station diet Morgan wallen chuds. They know these high school education guys are being cheated and labor arbitraged by the guy who knows business. The girlbosses don’t want that either they want a 6ft guy in finance. So give it to them. Let’s give young guys a pass, make “owning ur own biz” have some more cred than being a fucking course guru dork with a Lambo.
We can free guys from lame office jobs, get more shit done and continue these vital boomer businesses that are outdated inefficient and about to shut their doors.
Let’s fix shit. All it’s gunna take is for us to not be snide cunts and just offer encouragement and admiration when a 26 year old calls himself a Founder of ____ capital on LinkedIn when really it’s just a landscaping company and a machine shop.
We want competent young guys to build America, let’s give them the social cred that’s been ripped from them and given to girlbosses and Indians. And call those who suck at the teet of shareholders eating tik toks all day what they are. Fucking bums. Losers. Larpers.
