Built to Multiply: The Serial Entrepreneur's Playbook (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798246717868)

One exit is just the beginning. Learn how to turn a single business sale into a portfolio that compounds wealth, systems, and opportunity.

After selling your first business, you face a critical choice: rest on your success or multiply it. Most entrepreneurs stop at one exit. Serial entrepreneurs know the secret-each win creates leverage for the next.

Built to Multiply is the systematic playbook for founders ready to scale beyond a single exit. Whether you sold your agency for $3M or your SaaS for $8M, this book shows you exactly how to deploy capital, credibility, and systems to build a portfolio of ventures that accelerate with each turn.

Inside, you'll discover:

• The Portfolio Quadrant Framework - Map your businesses into Cash Cows, Growth Plays, Learning Experiments, and Exit Targets to allocate time and capital strategically
• The Leverage Ladder - Turn one successful exit into compounding advantages: credibility that shortens deal cycles, systems that port across industries, and talent networks that accelerate growth
• Build vs. Buy Decision Matrix - Score opportunities on five criteria to know when to acquire and when to build from scratch
• The CEO-of-CEOs Operating Model - Shift from founder-doer to portfolio strategist with proven frameworks for hiring operators, centralizing shared services, and building owner-independent businesses
• Portfolio Construction & Sequencing - Learn allocation rules, cash flow architecture, and the 10-year liquidity planning system that protects downside while maximizing upside
• Due Diligence That Finds Hidden Value - Discover the frameworks serial buyers use to spot underpriced assets, structure seller-friendly deals, and integrate acquisitions in 90 days or less

Real numbers. Real frameworks. Real results.

This isn't theory-it's a tactical manual drawn from entrepreneurs who've executed multiple seven- and eight-figure exits. You'll see detailed case studies showing how Maya turned a $3.1M agency sale into an $8.4M second exit by reusing playbooks and talent. How Jordan leveraged a $2.4M exit into a $27M portfolio. How Clara balanced a cash-generating service firm with a high-growth SaaS while managing risk across both.

Every chapter includes checklists, templates, and decision tools you can implement immediately-from the 60-day target evaluation play to the Readiness Check that tells you if you're equipped to move.

Perfect for:

• Founders who've had a successful exit and want to know "what's next"
• Entrepreneurs building their second or third venture
• Business buyers exploring acquisition entrepreneurship
• Anyone ready to treat businesses as assets in a strategic portfolio

Stop thinking like a one-time founder. Start building like a serial entrepreneur.

Your first exit gave you capital. This book gives you the system to multiply it. Whether you're ready to acquire your first business, scale your second, or optimize a portfolio of three, Built to Multiply provides the repeatable frameworks that turn single wins into compounding advantage.
