CHICAGO, Aug. 26, 2014 /PRNewswire/ — Freedom from the daily hustle is the dream of many working stiffs today. But what does that freedom look like, and how does one make it real? Those questions are at the crux of an upcoming seminar that will bring together some of the brightest lights in the business marketing and private equity investment fields. Space is limited – more information, along with an application form, is available at http://www.perrymarshall.com/marketing/meetrichard/.
From September 28 to 30 in Chicago, consultant Perry Marshall and quarter-billionaire investor Richard Koch will host a select group of attendees who are doing well for themselves but know they can do better. The event will feature not only guest speakers but an in-depth exploration of the Star Principle, the widely touted paradigm that Koch developed to guide his investments.
Koch's story is one that deserves to be told. Two decades ago, he was a successful consultant; but like so many who seem to be doing alright, maintaining his success meant staying locked into the proverbial hamster wheel. After founding and then selling a company of his own, he turned $5 million in seed money into more than $279 million in just twenty years. Most remarkably, he began by investing in only 16 companies and hitting "jackpot" on 8 of them.
Koch has done all of this without a large stuff hustling on his behalf, without a tech setup that looks like something from "The Matrix," and without living in the kind of frenzied bubble inhabited by most other high-wealth investors. He continues to do this by spending an hour each morning attending to his business and the rest of the day doing whatever he wants. For those who have swallowed the work-till-you-drop Kool-Aid, that kind of life may sound like a fantasy, but Koch has proven that it's possible.
"Business and marketing gurus might teach you how to hustle better than the next guy, but it's still hustling – it still means 60-hour weeks and working vacations," remarked Marshall. "This seminar is for people who don't want to hustle anymore, who can see the exit but just need help getting there."
