Just saw your comment and wanted to answer your question but I'm unclear as to what you are asking.
I'll check back and see.
If you're asking what was the business strategy from my May 12th post, there wasn't any... focus of post was on investing mistakes and lessons I drew from them from prior year.
I believe strongly that every business owner needs to ultimately cultivate the skill of how to be a savvy investor.
Three reasons:
1) If you ever sell your business, knowing how to invest your windfall is essential (I've sold companies and had some real challenges switching gears... hence why I also focus on business owners as investors.)
2) Every business owner needs to learn to build wealth independent of their main business--not just because of point one above, but what if there comes a day that a business fails, I want you to have real independence fiancially because you've invested intelligently and built wealth independent of your business along the way. (That said your #1 investment will be your own business, just make sure it's not your ONE and ONLY investment!)
3) If you want to go big with your business and need investor capital, you being a smart investor will help you understand better how to work with investors to attract capital and interact with your investors.
