Deep dives

Building a Lifestyle Business through Micro Acquisitions

Link Moser's journey reflects a unique approach to entrepreneurship through micro acquisitions rather than a single significant purchase. Starting in the 1990s, he began by developing websites and hosting, eventually leading to his first substantial acquisition in 2017. By strategically acquiring small client lists from retiring solopreneurs, Link was able to increase his annual revenue, growing from an initial $35,000 of revenue to over $200,000 projected in coming years. This model continues to yield a semi-passive income, enabling him to reduce his work hours significantly while enjoying a sustainable business.
