Last week I talked about the LOI (letter of intent) and the allergic reaction it gives me. Over 4 thousand readers read it — some even sent me their favorite generic LOI templates just to give me a hard time.

I know I’m usually the one sharing business insights every week, but the truth is, I learn a ton from many of you too. So thank you — sincerely — for reading, challenging, and growing with me over all these years.

Today, I want to talk about the mantis. Oh that elusive predator of an insect.

There’s something mesmerizing about the praying mantis — the way it stands still, unbothered by noise, waiting with calm precision. I’ve always admired that. So much so, I’ve even thought about renaming my business after it, because it reflects how we operate. Perhaps this is a heads up.

The mantis isn’t just another insect.
It’s a symbol of focus, timing, and restraint.

At Rhommbus Equity, we’ve built, scaled, and sold quietly — one calculated move at a time over the years.

I’d love to say I had it all figured out early, but that wouldn’t be true. In the beginning, I chased quick ideas, fast growth, and faster deals — and paid the price and sometimes…dearly.

But life teaches well — sometimes too well. Every loss became a lesson. Every setback, a reminder that patience outlasts impulse. It rewards the calculated risk.

In business and investing, I learned something simple but powerful: you invest your plan, and you plan your investments. That discipline keeps you calm when others panic and helps you see what others miss.

I’ve seen buyers act too fast, judging before they know the details.
Operators scale too quickly, chasing momentum they can’t sustain. Collapsing under absent systems. Teams crumble under their own hype.

We’ve seen entrepreneurs burst onto the scene and vanish just as fast — buyers chasing hype instead of value, sellers chasing exits instead of legacy. But like the mantis, we chose stillness over speed — focus over frenzy.

And that’s how we’ve lasted. That will be how we last.
The best opportunities don’t come from motion; they come from observation.
We don’t react — we anticipate.
We don’t chase — we attract.
And when the moment’s right, we strike — clean and deliberate.

In a world obsessed with movement, the patient builder wins. Almost every time.

There’s a principle I carry with me always. It can be applied to personal growth, parenthood, health, marriage and virtually every area of life.

Time doesn’t test speed — it tests endurance. I repeat time doesn’t test speed — it tests endurance.

When you’re working your business-when you’re strategizing. When you are contemplating your next 5 moves-let that sentence soak like a tea bag in a cup.

Be still. Be strategic.

We’re putting $100,000 USD as a referral fee on the table for our last remaining YouTube channel currently up for acquisition. Refer and on a successful sale…collect.

Up for sale is a 2-year-old faceless YouTube channel in one of the most in-demand categories today — commanding over 160 million views. To put that into perspective, it’s like:

You get it. It dominates. Period

It doesn’t stop there, it also delivers returns — over $574,000 USD in revenues and $552,000 in net cashflow, in the trailing 12 months. Add in sponsorships, which have never been touched and double your income.

There are no products to sell or products to ship. There are no ads to run. The small team of virtual assistants handle the day to day on automatic. Just make sure quality is up and collect tens of thousands of dollars in net income every single month from Google.

Priced to sell at $1,300,000 USD with $910,000 USD down. Seller finance $390K over 3 years and only paid back if you make back your down payment in 3 years.

Of course all deals go through our seasoned legal team, for a safe escrow transaction.

Onwards and upwards

Be great
