A lot of people think a good business leader should have an open door policy. Always there. Always involved. Always watching. I believe that the best leaders are the opposite. Instead of solving every problem and making every decision, the best CEOs empower others to the extreme and only get involved in very high leverage activities. Why is this a better way to lead? When you’re in the weeds every day, you don't have time to think about the big picture. And when you don’t spend time thinking...

Many of the wealthiest people in our country earn millions of dollars per year and pay almost nothing in taxes. How? They invest in real estate and utilize “depreciation” to offset their cash gains from their commercial properties and other businesses. I personally made millions of dollars between 2020 and 2025 and paid very little taxes by utilizing the strategy you're about to read about. Anyone who owns investment real estate (not your primary residence) needs to know about how they can...

Social media has been an incredible tool for me. Over the last few years, I've gotten well over a billion views across my platforms and it's changed my life and career. In this email, I'm going to explain how I used it to accelerate my career. When it comes to Twitter, now called X, at first I was hesitant to join because I thought it was the place where people go to get mad about politics and waste time arguing with each other. And as we've seen over the last few years, that is partially...

A few years ago I was drowning in admin work and spending my nights and weekends answering emails, catching up on invoicing, scheduling out my week and more. I was building two companies and they were growing fast. I also had kids and a busy family. It was a full time job just to stay organized. Things were coming at me from all angles. Travel. Meetings. Endless emails. Payroll. Bookkeeping. Events. To-do list around my house. General life stuff. It was a nightmare and it easily took 20/hrs...

I have a challenge for you this weekend that will help you think about business and opportunity in a whole new way. Go for a walk by yourself or with a friend in your local downtown area. Every business you pass by, ask yourself these questions: 1) How does this business make money? 2) Roughly how much money do they make per day, month and year? 3) How many employees do they have and what do these employees cost the business each hour and week and month? 4) How much did it cost to start this...

Every entrepreneur's dream is to sell their company. We all read stories of the huge exits and insane money. Starting a company, becoming profitable, and then eventually building it into a machine that makes more money than it spends each month for years on end is the dream. But how do you do it? How do you build a company that somebody else wants to own? It takes the right strategy, people, process, systems and more. The issue is that most small business owners never build an asset they can...

It's been a while since I updated everyone on the status of my companies. I shut down 4 of the companies I started between 2021 and 2023. RecruitJet, WebRun, AdRhino, and Huber Method. Too much headache, not enough profit. Business is hard. What I have left (and headcount): Bolt Storage (55) Somewhere.com (166) R.E. Cost Seg (70) Bolt Builders (13) Titan Risk (3) Bold SEO (5) NickHuber.com (3) Bolt Storage, Somewhere and R.E. Cost Seg all had record months of revenue in August. Bolt Storage...

If you had talked to 28 year old Nick Huber, he would have told you to start a business. Everyone should do it! It is the only way to be happy. Working for somebody else is terrible! What I know now is that 28 year old Nick Huber didn’t know what he was talking about. Entrepreneurship culture has created an entire group of people who are unemployable. They don’t want a job. They will not be happy working for somebody else. But most of them don’t have what it takes to build their own...
