I’m about to share a secret that’s got me fired up like nothing else in my 20 years as an entrepreneur. We’re on the brink of the largest wealth transfer in American history—a $2.4 trillion tidal wave poised to reshape the small business landscape. And here’s the kicker: Wall Street can’t touch it. This isn’t a temporary trend. It’s a seismic shift creating a buyer’s market like we’ve never seen before. And it’s just getting started—we’re looking at a 20-year gold rush stretching through 2038. So here’s my challenge: Take the first step. Start small if you must, but start. Five years from now, you could be writing your own success story. Why not you? The $2.4 trillion question isn’t whether this opportunity exists. It’s whether you’ll seize it. Are you in? If you want a step-by-step guide to tapping into this historic wealth transfer, read on. 👇 https://www.inc.com/joseph-drups/wall-streets-blindspot-that-helps-small-investors/###-###-####

The majority of wealth will transfer to those business owners remaining in business. Postulate that in your local town there are 10 plumbers, 5 of whom are boomers ready to retire. The two possible outcomes for any given hopeful retiree is to sell or dissolve the business. Those owners that sell will transfer wealth to their families (eventually). Those that dissolve will have their customers migrate to the remaining businesses, thus transferring wealth to the remaining business owners. A potential business buyer always faces a make versus buy question: what is the most efficient route - build or buy? Most Main Street businesses can be built for a lower price than buying. But you need your own money in hand for this path.
