(Wealth Compounding Series · Part 8 · Hub Page)
This is the final part of the Wealth Compounding Series. You have seen the power of time, learned how to outpace inflation, optimized for taxes, chosen vehicles, installed business models, built discipline, and studied global case studies.
But knowledge alone does not compound. Execution compounds.
This hub transforms every prior lesson into a DIY plan—a master blueprint, ready-to-use checklists, and simple calculators to track progress. Treat this as your control panel for building unstoppable compounding machines in your investments, business, and life.
1) The Compounding Blueprint (One Page Master Map)
A. Foundations
- Start Early: The first decade matters most.
- Tax Efficiency: Residency, structures, accounts.
- Inflation Hedge: Allocate to real assets, growth equities.
B. Vehicles
- Core: Index ETFs, bonds, real estate.
- Satellites: Private equity, venture, licensing deals.
- Business Compounding: Recurring revenue, SaaS, subscriptions.
C. Behavioral Discipline
- Bias Guardrails: Loss aversion, recency, herd.
- Rules Manual: Risk budgets, entry/exit, review cadence.
- Decision Log: Track, review, iterate.
D. Case Study Inspiration
- Microsoft (recurring SaaS).
- Disney (licensing empire).
- Amazon (reinvestment flywheel).
- Berkshire Hathaway (insurance float).
E. Action
- Checklists before decisions.
- Dashboards for risk & retention.
- Reinvestment priority: growth > consumption.
2) Ready-to-Use Checklists
Investment Checklist
- Is the thesis falsifiable?
- What is the maximum downside I can tolerate?
- Have I written exit criteria (stop, time, thesis break)?
- How does this affect portfolio correlation?
- What is the payback/cash yield timeline?
Business Compounding Checklist
- Do I have a recurring revenue core?
- Is NDR ≥ 120%?
- What is churn, and what guardrails are in place?
- Am I reinvesting profits into growth?
- Do I have upsell/cross-sell triggers automated?
Behavioral Discipline Checklist
- Weekly 30-minute review complete?
- Logged all major decisions in Decision Log?
- Reviewed guardrails against bias?
- Applied cooling-off rule for major moves?
- Met accountability partner this month?
3) Calculators (Practical Tools)
Compounding Calculator
FV=PV×(1+r)nFV = PV \times (1 + r)^nFV=PV×(1+r)n
- PV = Present Value (starting capital).
- r = annual growth rate (after tax, after fees).
- n = number of years.
Example: $100,000 at 10% = $672,000 in 20 years.
Net Dollar Retention (NDR) Calculator
NDR=(Starting Revenue+Expansion−Churn)Starting RevenueNDR = \frac{(Starting\ Revenue + Expansion – Churn)}{Starting\ Revenue}NDR=Starting Revenue(Starting Revenue+Expansion−Churn)
Target: NDR ≥ 120%.
Churn Impact Simulator
- Starting Customers: 1,000
- Churn 2% monthly → 80% left after 12 months.
- Churn 1% monthly → 89% left after 12 months.
Small improvements = massive compounding impact.
Reinvestment ROI Tracker
- Profit this year: $X
- % reinvested into growth: Y%
- ROI on reinvested capital: Z%
- Track CAGR over 5–10 years.
4) Quarterly Execution Framework
Quarterly Sprint (Repeat Every 90 Days)
- Week 1: Review portfolio/business vs. blueprint.
- Week 2: Run decision log post-mortem.
- Week 3: Execute one retention sprint (product/service).
- Week 4: Reset dashboard metrics, plan next quarter.
5) Case Studies — Execution vs. Talk
- Investor A: Learned compounding but never automated savings → inconsistent, poor results.
- Investor B: Wrote blueprint, automated transfers, logged decisions → 20 years later, wealth 10x greater.
- Entrepreneur A: Built one-off services, reinvested nothing → stagnant income.
- Entrepreneur B: Built subscriptions + upsells, reinvested profits → recurring cash flow machine.
Case Study List (at a glance)
- Microsoft SaaS → exponential revenue.
- Disney Licensing → infinite IP monetization.
- Amazon Flywheel → reinvestment discipline.
- Berkshire Hathaway → insurance float leverage.
