So I am in business now 25 years and have had a few big success stories where clients just exceeded my wildest expectations.
In 1997 I started with a company that simply outgrew me and after 3 years went to a big firm. 4 years later they went public and got acquired and folded in to a Fortune 500 company. That was in 2002, a $50 million deal. The owner is a big fish and sort of as a Thank you allows me to manage $1 million of his fortune. That pays me about $10,000 a year. He has a BIG firm managing his real money.
But in 2008 or so a guy walked in my office with paper tax returns etc... after 5 years he moved back to his home state. I can't give details BUT I did his work remote for a year after that but he also outgrew me.
This week I learned from industry journals he sold his company for nearly $300 million.
Crazy.
Any success stories out there????
