We meet again Rhommbus family on this special occasion. Thankyou sincerely, for letting me crash land in your inbox once again, after all these years.
There are a few misconceptions I want to clear up today.
Most people think negotiation starts when you get the offer letter. It doesn't. That's just when the printer spits out the final score of a game that ended way before-sometimes weeks, sometimes months, sometimes years back.
The real negotiation? It's happening quietly while you're just doing your thing. Every email you send, every meeting where you speak up (or stay quiet), every time you say "no problem" and take on something that's actually a huge problem-all of that is information. And companies are really, really good at pricing information. I know I do.
When I hire someone, I'm calculating all of this. I'm eyeing your value from day one. Matter of fact from our very first interaction. I am listening to how you speak all the way down to how you respond via email. Not in a cold way-it's just how it works. I'm watching what breaks when you're out, what speeds up when you're in the room, what problems quietly disappear because you exist.
Here's the part that stings: working hard doesn't automatically give you leverage. If it did, everyone burning out would be getting stock options. Sorry we don’t offer stock options.
Most people just work their butts off and hope someone notices. That's not strategy-that's hoping you get lucky. The people who get paid well aren't always the smartest or the hardest working. I don’t need to tell you that. You know that. You see them at your office. They just understand how the game works.
Most employees think like renters. They show up, pay their rent in hours, and hope the landlord decides to upgrade the place. People who get good deals think like owners. They know pay isn't about how many hours you log-it's about risk, impact, and how much of a pain it would be to replace you.
Owners ask questions renters don't: What would actually break if I disappeared for three weeks? What decisions quietly run through me now? What problems land on my desk because people know I'll "handle it"?
If your answer is just "I work really hard," that's great. Truly. But it's not something you can negotiate with.
Leverage shows up when your role gets bigger without anyone officially saying so. When you get pulled into meetings "just in case." When things don't move forward until you weigh in. When someone says, "Can you take this? You're good at it." Congrats-the deal just changed. I can’t wait to bend over all types of ways to keep you.
This is where most people start doing emotional twister. They count up the years, the loyalty, the exhaustion. Don’t get me wrong. That is truly amazing. But none of that shows up on a spreadsheet. So they ask for more money using the same framing, same title, same everything. That's not negotiating. That's asking nicely and crossing your fingers.
Real negotiation is weirdly boring. It's calm. Factual. A little uncomfortable.
"The scope of this role has grown since we agreed on the original terms. I think it makes sense to revisit things."
No big speech. No comparing yourself to anyone else. No cost-of-living breakdown. Just the truth, said simply.
Here's the thing people don't talk about: if that sentence terrifies you, you're not wrong-you're just early. Go build leverage first. Become someone who's hard to replace but easy to work with. Solve the messy problems that don't come with a manual. Tie your name to results, not just tasks.
Do that long enough and you won't even need some big dramatic negotiation. The deal will already be outdated.
You'll just be the one with the guts to say it out loud.
Today, I have a special offer for my Rhommbus family to open a new path toward building wealth-so be sure to keep reading.
In 2025 alone, buyers acquired $2.1M USD of our assets. We’ve built and scaled. Now it’s your turn.
1) SaaS Media Tool
After 3 years, I am divesting my 14% share in our $8.4M USD SaaS tool. This asset has seen an ARR(Annual Recurring Revenue) of $1.7M USD and over 500%+ year over year ARR growth-compared to previous year.
This business is virtually 100% hands off, with high level partners who run most of the operations, through an extremely capable small team.
Great for a large investor, family office or private equity firm.
Proof of funds required for more details
Asking $1.17M USD firm for my 14% share
2) True Crime Youtube Channel
This small, three-year-old YouTube channel is in the high-demand True Crime niche. It quietly generates solid cash flow. While we’ve given it minimal attention, a new owner can easily maintain its current performance—or scale it significantly by posting more consistently. Of course the VA would be handling all of that.
Last 3 years has averaged
$53,000 USD in revenues
$48,000 USD in profits
$4,000 USD average monthly profit
A cool 91% profit margin.
This channel is highly automated and operated by a single virtual assistant who manages all aspects of production. It publishes approximately 5 videos per month, that are simple to create using A.I and A.I work flows. By doubling output, the channel can be scaled to an estimated $150,000 valuation within a year.
Asking $96,000 OBO USD
3) True Crime Youtube Channel
This channel is simply a cash-cow. This channel is in the True Crimes niche as well, like most of our channels are. True Crime is one of the most in demand niches today. The channel comes with VAs that handle the day to day, making this asset virtually 100% hands off.
Last 12 months has produced:
$104,000 USD in revenues
$96,000 USD in profits
$8,000 USD/mnth average profit
A cool 92% profit margin.
With increased output, a new owner can double revenues or increase overall quality, which increases income substantially. A smart new owner can take what is working and create 1-3 more channels.
Asking $230,000 USD with $190,000 USD down OBO, seller finance $40,000 USD at 0% interest for 3 years.
4) Quick Fitness Shopify Store
This Shopify store serves the Australian market and has generated just shy of $800,000 USD in the past 12 months, selling lightweight, handheld fitness products designed for quick workouts.

2024- Revenue- $290,000 USD/Profit-$58,000 USD
