Why a Holding Company Lifestyle

Until recently, there were only two ways to practice wealth-building: own and operate a company or be an investor.

Now, the concept of Holding Companies emerges as an appealing third path.

You can live an interesting life of parallel entrepreneurship in a Holding Company structure with multiple companies in your portfolio.

Instead of primarily focusing on operations or allocating capital, you get to do both for big rewards in your professional and personal lives.

45% of businesses in America are owned by the Silver Tsunami of Baby Boomers reaching retirement age needing to be sold.

Now is a perfect time to shift to owning your Holdco model.

If you’ve come across successful Holdco owners, you’re likely looking at decades of experience and mentorship that have helped inform the business leaders’ actions.

The Complete HoldCo Course is built based on 25+ years of experience from Michael Girdley building a $100M a year holding company.

By enrolling, you can expect to set up a plan to start, operate, grow & exit your HoldCo while enjoying direct access to industry expertise and community guidance.
