I'm sure most of you have heard about Elizabeth Holmes and Theranos - a company that was supposed to be a 21st century breakthrough in the medical field that quickly turned into one of Silicon Valley's biggest disasters  

Theranos is the perfect example of what happens when someone over promises & under delivers, why deceiving investors will never work out for you in the long run, and why it is so important to do your due diligence before investing  

In today's episode, Lincoln breaks down what went wrong with Theranos, and how a lot of those issues could have been avoided

When I first started college, I decided that I wanted to become a master of the money game....  

...meaning I never wanted money to become an issue. 

It was obvious that the only way to do this was to become an entrepreneur  

So, in the span of 2 years, I launched 6 different businesses  

while some had some success, most of them failed  However, the entire time I was launching businesses, I was learning about marketing, how to structure a business, and most importantly, I was learning about the money game  

As I've already mentioned on this channel, the 7th business I launched was my Investment Funds, and the 8th was Investment Fund Secrets  

...and both of these business models is what made me a millionaire by 25. 

However, the whole time I was playing a much bigger game  

and that game is the Money Game.  

Want to learn how to play?  

Well, you should definitely check out today's episodeđŸ”„

As many of you know, Fund Launch Live is coming up at the end of AprilđŸ”„  

And since this is literally the first ever fund manager event, we decided that we needed to make it AMAZING  

Well, with that goal in mind, I ended up spending over $500,000 to make it happen...😅  

For today's episode, I walk through where all of this money went, the logistics behind throwing a 1,000 person event, and how this event is going to pay off for myself, my team, and everyone who attends the event  

Fund Launch Live is going to make history👊

It seems like EVERYONE and their mother have been talking about DAOs recently...  

So, I figured it would be appropriate to create a video that talks about DAOs, what they are, and how they are different from funds  

For those who don't know, DAO stands for Decentralized Autonomous Organization, and they are continuing to explode (and crash) as crypto becomes more & more popular

Get your tickets here: https://www.fundlaunchlive.com/2022 

On this channel, we talk a lot about how to build, launch, and scale investment funds  

However, we've been getting a lot of requests from subscribers who have already launched their first fund wanting to know when they should launch fund #2  

Well, like most fund-related questions, it really depends on what type of fund you're running and what specific assets you are investing in  

Luckily, for today's episode, Lincoln explains when you should start your second fund based on what industry you are operating in  

If you haven't launched fund #1 yet, that's totally okay!  

There is still plenty you can walk away with from this video

241. Should You Use Third Party Admins For Your Fund?

241. Should You Use Third Party Admins For Your Fund?

đŸ”„Make sure you grab tickets to Fund Launch Live 2022 ($150 Off)đŸ”„  Get your tickets here: https://www.fundlaunchlive.com/2022 

A question that I get a lot from my students is "should I have a third party admin for my fund?"  

Well, if we were having this discussion in the pre-Bernie Madoff days, most fund managers would say no, it's okay to do all of your numbers in-house  

However, after Bernie Madoff stole billions from his investors over multiple decades, most fund managers (and investors) would say yes, you should definitely have a third party admin set up for your fund  

This being said, there are still a few exceptions where it's acceptable to not have a third party admin  

We will be talking about this and much more in today's episode

On this channel, I often talk about how starting a fund is the absolute best business model out there  

Now even though I will always believe that, there is ONE thing about starting a fund that is really really hard.

Today's episode is a little different than what we typically post on this channel  Instead of talking about funds, I break down 7 books that changed my life and turned me into the person I am today  

Reading has always been a pretty big part of my life, and I think it is a great way to learn from the mistakes and successes of those who came before us  

As you'll see in the video, not all of these books are about business or finance  

Some of the most important books I've ever read actually had nothing to do with financial or entrepreneurial success  

I hope you will go on and read some of these books, hopefully getting impacted the same way I was
