How to Build a Million-dollar Portfolio Without Burning Yourself Out

In this video, Eddie breaks down how he manages his portfolio of seven and eight-figure businesses that have generated tens of millions over the last five years. He operates two types: passive investments (1-20% ownership) and active businesses (40%+ ownership, working 1-10 hours weekly), including restaurants, Agency Founders, BAD Marketing, exotic car rental, and RemotelyX. Eddie's lean structure includes a core team of an Executive Assistant and Financial Assistant who work across all companies, plus dedicated operators, content creators, and marketers for each business. His growth strategy focuses on three areas: acquiring more customers, increasing customer value (AOV/LTV), and cutting waste through automation. He emphasizes that his key value is generating attention that drives revenue, with all current businesses generating at least six figures monthly.
