Buy a business zero down with a 1% change.

Buying a business with zero down sounds insane, until you see the math. Today I’ll show how small, asymmetrical moves (think 80/20 on steroids) let you buy a $1M+ small business with no money, no bank loans, and create six-figure passive income from day one – and from home. We’ll unpack the 80/20 rule, self-similarity, and the butterfly effect, then apply them to joint ventures (JVs) so you can source motivated owners, grow revenue fast, and convert growth into equity. If you’ve searched “how to buy a business with no money” or “zero-down business acquisition,” this is your starting line.

First of all, THANK YOU again for making this channel the number one channel for Indiana real estate on YouTube according google analytics and SocialBlade info for BigReia.com. 

Can you really buy a business zero down with just 1% more effort?

Or a better question:

Can you really buy a business zero down and have it make you a six figure passive income from day one and can you do it with just 1% more effort?

Just 1% more effort?

I know how crazy that may sound, but in this class I’m going to show a model that my team and I have developed that allows you to create decades of progress overnight.  It would help if we actually defined what an asymmetrical is so today…

You’ll learn all about asymmetricals,  the math behind them and why they are so powerful.

For me it started when I was 17 years old working at the Indiana state fair, I was working at my uncle’s booth and the guy next to us was a farmer.  The kind of farmer he used to grown carrots the size of baseball bats, onions the size of hubcaps and tomatoes that barely fit into kiddies pools.

One day I asked him how grew these things so big.

He didn’t say a word.

Instead, he just placed two apples on the table.

One was normal-sized.

The other was the size of a basketball.

Then he said something that I never forgot:

“Believe it or not, I grew both of these the exact same way – 95% of the process was identical.”

It was the tiny 5% difference – the nutrients, the timing, the soil – that made one explode in size while the other stayed normal.  Tiny hinges open big doors, and very small inputs can create very large outputs. That idea stuck with me. 

Today we call those little inputs that drive big results: “Asymmetricals“.

From a math standpoint an asymmetrical is the perfect overlap of three math concepts – number one the Paretto principle, number two Self Similarity and number three The Butterfly Effect.  Let’s talk about each one.

In the 1890s an Italian economist noticed that…

About 80% of the crop was coming from only 20% of the farmland, the more he studied this he saw this ratio expressed in many other areas as well.  80% of the traffic was on 20% of the roads, 80% of the people lived on 20% of the land, 80% of the money was in the hands of 20% of the people.

The ecomist’s name was Vilefredo Paretto.

This concept became known as the Paretto Principle or the “80/20 Rule“.

It is a concept that shows how often a minority of the input is responsible for an oversized or asymmetrical percentage of the output.  This the a mathematical ratio expression to show how a tiny hinge can open a much bigger door.

The second concept is Self Similarity.

So imagine I take a line and I cut out the middle third, now I have two lines and then with each new line I do the same thing again now I have four lines, and I do it again and have 8 and then 16, then 32, and so on.

How long can I keep doing that?

Techicially a line will always have a middle third so I could keep going forever, at least in theory, but what it would look like?  It would look like the image in the video, one long line and then either said gradually smaller lines.

What happens if you zoom in on any part, what would you see?

You’d see the same thing, no matter how much you zoom in or out you would see the same thing.

Self Simarity is the same relationship expressed at different magnifications.

This exercise with the lines is called a Cantor Set, there are Julia Sets also we could look at a Mandelbrot Set and we can talk about fractals and go much deeper as this stuff is very interesting – because the closer you look the more is to see.

Self similarity is around us all the time.

Look at the way electrons orbit a nucleus, then the way the moon orbits the earth, and then way the earth orbits the sun, the way our sun and solar system orbit on our galaxy.  You see the same relationship at dramatically different magnifications, right – self similarity.  Very cool stuff.

This is how you build a business – we call it Uniform Execution.

(everybody working from the same checklist, scripts and drawings  – at different magnifications.)

Okay so for right now let’s apply Self Similarity to the Paretto Principle.

In my Wall Street days I was doing corporate restructuring, which is a nice way of saying that I had to go in and see how may people we could fire without it costing the company too much money.  I used the 80/20 rule all the time.

Let’s say a company did $20M in sales and they had 10 sales people.

I would know that about 80%, or $16M in sales, came from 20% of the 10 people.  So 2 people were bringing in $16M.  Meaning that you could fire the other 8 and just hire another one person like those two and would reduce the workforce and increase the revenue.

But when you apply Self Similarity it gets even crazier.

If 80% of the results come from 20% of the input, that means that 80% of the 80% comes from 20% of the 20%, we just zoom in, right?

So 80% of 80 is 64% and 20% of 20 is 5%.

Then if we do that again…

80% of 64% is 51.2%, and 20% of 5 is 1%.

So 1% is responsible for 50% of the results.

This is bonkers.

Earlier when I said this will change the way you see the world, this is what I meant.  Because you can see this relationship everywhere and when you really apply this to how you spend your time you can massively leverage the most important asset that you have – your energy.

You start 10x, 30x, even 100x+ better ROI on your time.

That’s how wild this is, it is like rolling up to a snowball fight in a tank.

So let’s closer at this.

If 1% of the effort is responsible for 50% of the results, this is a gamechanging thing because that means if you have let’s say a $10M business, then what took it from 5M to 10M could have been just 1% of effort,  That’s crazy right?

That can’t be possible, right?  Right?

Well if this ratio holds true then we should be able to see it expressed all over the place, right?

Not just with business or money, it should be everywhere, right?

Let’s take the population for the earth for example.

There are about 8 billion in 200 countries, so if we take 1% of the countries or 2 countries, India and China, each have about 2 billion people.  Add that up and it is 4 billion people or about half the population of the earth.

Half of the world’s population is in 1% of the countries.

Isn’t that something?

How about global GDP?

The global GDP is about $100 trillion worldwide, take the same 1% or two countries, the US and China and add them up – the US GDP is about $31 trillion and China’s is about $19 trillion.  Together that’s about $50 trillion or –

About HALF of the global GDP comes from just 1% the countries.

This is nuts and you see this expressed everywhere.

Consider climate change, global warming or whatever they call it now – whatever it identify as these days – we often hear that you need to walk to work, recycle your toilet paper or bottle your farts and try to run your furnace on them or whatever… to help fight global warming.

Here’s something that is almost never talked about

In 2020 a study was done by Oxfam and it was to study the BIG culprit in carbon emmisions -aviation emissions.  They found that over 50% of that damage came from, you guessed it, 1% of the population.  You can probably guess who that 1% is – the same celebrities and political leaders –

Who belly ache about how YOU are contributing too much to climate change.

… and more needs to be done by YOU to solve the problem…

Meanwhile THEY are responsible for HALF.

Imagine if you looked at the earth from space and without the 1%, and I said to you if we add just 1% to this planet these emissions will double overnight.  That sounds crazy but it is absolutely accurate.  Here’s another way to look at it –

You could DOUBLE the pollution with just a 1% change.

Here’s another mind blowing example…

I don’t watch the NBA, I’ve never watched a game or even a full play – to me sports is like the news, I never watch it on purpose.  Except fighting of course.  But even though I don’t watch the NBA (I can barely spell NBA) but growing up in Indiana…

We have Reggie Miller, the movie hoosiers, pistol Pete, larry bird, the Indiana Pacers

So you are required by law to at least have some awareness of basketball.  While I don’t care about basketball I DO caree a lot about math, numbers and history.  Which is why I’m bringing up this mother grabber:

Steph Curry.

If you just look at the math – this this guy has changed the game of basketball more than probably any other human being ever.  Yes that includes Michael Jordan, Lebron, Magic, Shaq, Kobe or even the hook shoot from Kareem Abdul Jabbar.

Steph Curry has changed the game more than any of them.

So to start with he was very skinny and short by NBA standards, compared to most players on the court he looked like a water boy or a hobbit who got lost.  As a result, he had to find a way to compete and earn his spot and that was his big secret –

Curry specialized on three point shots.

That is  a dramatic understatement.  Steph Curry doesn’t just shoot three pointers but he shoots them from several paces past three point line.  So the three point line is 23.9 feet but Curry would shoot from 25, 30 and even 40 feet out.

The halfway mark is 47 feet out.

Curry was basically taking shots at half court…

… and he was making the shots.

Shot after shot after shot.

Nobody had ever done this before and it had a domino effect, so at first players let him do it because nobody thought it was possible to consistently make shots from out there.  When Curry stared making them they had to adjust and guard him.

Which spread out the entire court and gave other players more opportunities.

Soon the three point shots weren’t just occasional or a novelty but they would be used a strategy all by themselves.  In fact, so many players followed Curry’s example that the entire playbook for the NBA has been re-written.

Teams started scouting for long distance shooters.

The message has been clearly received by colleges, highs schools and even junior highs – me and my daughter know a young lady who scored 9 half court shots in four games, and she’s in junior high.  THAT is the impact that Steph Curry has had.

Let’s look at the numbers.

The NBA average used to be 96.9 points per game (PPG) and today it is a record high of 114-116 PPG, this is in part due to Curry making the three point shot a much bigger factor.  The average number of three-pointers in an NBA game has dramatically changed. 

The average team would only ATTEMPT about 2.8 three pointers in a game.

That’s not how many shot they made that’s how many total attempts they made.  The number of shots actually made was far less.  Today the actual number of shots MADE, not just attempted but actually made, is about 12 three pointers a game.

Today a team SCORES more than FOUR TIMES as many three pointers as they used to ATTEMPT.

I recently heard that the Indiana pacers lead the entire league with the most three pointers made in a season, they made 1,081 three pointers.  That was a record and  more three pointers in one year than most franchises used to attempt in a decade.

So here’s the math

The average NBA team plays 82 games in a season, there are 30 teams with about 500 total players in the NBA, on average number of three pointers in a game is about 12, so let’s look at just the top 1%, the top 5 three point shooters in the NBA…

You see that on average they made 4-6 three pointers per game.

Remember the average is 12 three pointers made in a game, so if you are watching an NBA game you will see on average 12 three pointers made BUT if a top 1% player is on the court then he will make on average about HALF of those shots.

Yet again, 1% is responsible for HALF.

Isn’t that crazy?

Even with everything I just said about how universal and ubiquitous the three pointers have become, the distribution of achievement, success and winning is still the same – the percentage remains – again the top 1% is responsible for HALF of the results. 

The distribution remains the same – 1% input = 50% of the output.

I could keep going we could look at music, millions of song stream everyday but check out this university of leeds study from the UK showing the top 1% of artists were responsible for 80% of all streams – or Rolling Stone magazine found that the top 1% got 90% of streaming.

Again, you’ll see this everywhere.

I could keep going but you I think you get the point.

The main takeaway here is that 1% really can DOUBLE the outcome.

A one percent change can double the outcome. Every ripple can rewrite the wave.  For more on this let’s go over this third math concept, first we had the Paretto Principle second was Self Similarity and now here’s number three…

In 1961, Edward Lorenz was working for the government.

Lorenz was using a primitive weather prediction computer.  One day he ran the same simulation twice, but got a wildly different result in the weather prediction, he double checked his numbers but thought it was because there was a problem with the computer.

Then he called the tech guys to come fix it.

While Lorenz was waiting for them to come fix the computer he decided to check his numbers one last time.  That is when he realized a tiny change in the input, he hadn’t entered the same input both times.  It seemed the same at first but there was a TINY change –

One time he entered a value of .506 and the other time he entered a value of .5061 –

Almost the exact same input but the result was a completely different weather pattern.  This blew Lorenz away.  That such a tiny change in the input would create such a wildly different output was earth shattering. 

Later, in 1972 he got invited to the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), that is the first science and engineering organization and the largest group of general science people, it is a big deal and like the Super Bowl for scientists.

When Lorenz was getting his presentation together he had an idea.

To explain how much a nothing burger the difference is between the .506 and .5061 input versus the output he created, he came up with a metaphor.  This would be developed into a whole branch of mathematics called Chaos Theory – 

And the most famous piece of that comes from the title of his presentation which was:

“Predictability: Does the Flap of a Butterfly’s Wings in Brazil Set a Tornado in Texas?”

This is what we now call “The Butterfly Effect” –

How a a small cause can lead to large, unpredictable outcomes and consequences.

Now here’s where it gets REALLY crazy…

At first he was not being literal with the metaphor, it was just for attention and he was speaking figuratively NOT literally.  But over time both he and others started peeling back the layers and studying this more and many mathematicians have realized that…

The Butterfly Effect is actually LITERAL.

This is not just a figurative metaphor but it is actually true in a literal sense – in a given connected system like we are living in right now, a single flap of a butterfly’s wing really CAN travel through space and time…

And create a hurricane on the other side of the world.

(that would be traveling through space)

OR…

It can create a tornado two weeks later.

(that would be traveling through time)

Ripples travel to the other side of the world – SPACE and/or two weeks later – TIME.

Small, tiny ripples really can travel through space and time and have impact and results that far outweigh the cause.

Check out the poster in the video called

The Four Pests Campaign.

It was part of Mao Zedong’s “Great Leap Forward” in 1958 and the slogan of the campaign was that “Man must conquer nature”.  The idea was that flies, mosquitoes, sparrows and rats were hurting the agriculture, spreading disease and harming food production.

The campaign to fix this started with propaganda posters.

These posters declared that four pests – rats, flies, mosquitoes, and sparrows – were to be exterminated as threats to public health and safety.  As soon as the campaign started, the citizens immediately mobilized.

They went nuts.

Knocking nests from trees, banging pots and pans to scare the birds, shooting them, breaking eggs open, crushing the skills of baby birds – billions of animals were killed.  At first it seemed like a success.  But one of the sparrow’s favorite things to eat was locusts…

… and one of the locusts favorite things to eat was grain

… and one of the Chinese people’s favorite things to eat…

(and what their entire economy was based on)

… was grain.

With no sparrows the locusts population exploded and the crops were devoured to devastating effect.

As grain production slowed families were forced to live together in communies.  Private farming became outlawed and out of fear for their lives local officials inflated crop reports to please the central government. 

This only made things worse… much worse.

Beijing cracked down and took over grain reserves leaving little to nothing for the farmers and locals.  Money became useless and quickly grain became the currency – farmers were paid in grain rations and when those ran out they starved to death.

Some people resorted to eating tree bark, grass or boiling leather to survive –

The real economy and eventually the grain economy was collapsing.

These scenes were horrific and much like the man made starvation in Palestine and Gaza today.

Which reminds me to say what the outlawed phrase –

FREE PALESTINE – FREE PALESTINE – FREE PALESTINE!

Ahem…

So as things got worse in China  families had to abandon their children or sell them.  Cannablism occurred.  Entire villages and bloodlines were wiped out.  Civil unrest spread, rebellions were crushed violently by the government –

Today this is called a “hidden civil war” –

This was because peasants and workers began a new form of quiet resistance through work slowdown, theft of grain or escaping their communes at night, only to be hunted down and punished if caught, sometimes executed.

In the end over 40 MILLION people died, this is called The Great Chinese Famine.

This is considered to be the worst man made disaster in history.

The worst famine ever recorded.

This is how the butterfly effect and asymmetricals work.  Everything I said all makes sense, it is logical and since we are looking back on it we know that this is how it all played out.  To see just how crazy the butterfly effect is all you have to do it take the staircase of steps and remove the ones in between.

Just put the first step next to the last.

Imagine you were sitting down with Mao Zedong when he printed that poster and you told him:

“Listen if you print that poster you will kill over 40 MILLION people, engineer the great famine ever and be responsible for the single worst man made disaster in human history, this poster will kill more people than the black plague or even World War One!”

If you would’ve said that then he would’ve looked at you like you were crazy, because it sounds nuts, but it is entirely true.  As historians now say:

“A single propaganda poster killed more people than most wars.”

That’s the point here…

This is what happens when you combine all three of these elements…

The 80/20 Rule – Self Similarity – The Butterfly Effect –

They all combine to create Asymmetricals and The Four Pests poster is an example of something bad but we want to harness the SAME power for good.  Tiny causes – a decimal point, a sparrow, a propaganda poster – can ripple forward until they carve history itself.

That same force – when combined with the 80/20 Rule and the principle of self-similarity – is also the engine of some of the greatest opportunities. The same mathematics that make catastrophe possible are the very ones that make asymmetrical growth possible.

Mao’s poster was an asymmetrical that wrecked humanity.

We want to harness that same hidden power for good. Specifically into business growth.

Our target companies especially when you’re starting out will be local businesses, usually $1-5M in revenue with an owner’s SDE or seller’s discretionary earnings of about $500k.  These companies are PERFECT for you to do double and make $10-30k a month in passive income working with.

That’s a good way to build oil wells that make you $10-30k/month.

I’m Azam Meo and if this is your first time here then you should know that me and my friends help people buy real estate and small businesses zero down and without loans, and you really CAN buy a million dollar business that pays you a six figure income from day one –

IF you focus on the right asymmetricals.

We have thousands of success stories in over 30 countries.  We’ve helped entreprenuers go from zero do 10, 20k, $100k a month and more and take companies from zero to 5M, 10M 50M, 100M and beyond and in all these wins and background –

One of the most important asymmetricals that you will ever focus on is JOINT VENTURES.

Doing JVs can change everything.  JVs are like the cheat code of the business world, JVs are like strapping a jet engine to a moped.  Think of a Joint Venture as a cross promotion at scale, one business introduces another business to their customer base.

It is that simple.

There are three kinds of JVs:

Mirror JVs or reciprocal JVs.  That means Company connect with Company B

Domino JVs.  This is where Company A connects with company B, company C, company D, etc.

Matchmaking JVs.  You could be A and introduce company B to C.

Every JV that you’ll ever do will fall into one of those three categories.

A JV is that tiny 1% change that is an assymetrical that can change everything.

A real estate investor who has never made more than $5k/month can partner a single law firm and makes over $25k/month for over a year straight, a physical therapy does a JV with a local sports club and their business goes from $2M to $10M in less than six months, an unemployed former janitor…

Goes from living with family to make $10-30k/month by brokering JVs.

This is the power of connecting businesses to other business when you traffic in Doublers.

Once you understand how powerful JVs are and how these asymmetrical can change everything, you can do them for your business, do them for other businesses and/or be full time Business Matchmaker and just connect other companies to their ideal JV partners.

This is how you build a business around building businesses.

It is really cool and I’d love to tell you more – because as we always wealth isn’t what you have, it is who you lift.  You can get paid up front over time, and even in equity.  The absolute best way to buy a business zero down is to grow it and then leverage that growth for equity –

A JV is a brilliant way to do that.

Lately we’ve been doing experiments and I have a free book that I’ll send you:

The Book On Joint Ventures:
How to buy a 1M+ business zero down and without loans that pays you six figures… by using joint ventures.  I’ll also send you a free 30 day challenge that you can use to go out and do your first deal in the next 30 days.

You can start from zero and do deals immediately.

You’ll see how to find our ideal target of companies, how to guess what a company’s revenue and the owner’s SDE is without ever talking to them and how to pick the best businesses to start with.  You can go out right now and have an unlimited number of 5M and under and $500k/year businesses –

Companies that are perfect to do JVs with and buy zero down

With no money and without even leaving your house.

Plus the businesses you work with don’t have to spend anything either it is a WIN/WIN.

Go get my free book and take the 30 Day Challenge today – BigReia.com.

 Just by making that one introduction, that one connection they can change everything.

You really CAN make 2, 3, 5, 10, 20, 30x times as much money – easily and immediately.

A main asymmetrical that we use:

Joint Ventures.

We help business owners by introducing them to people, ideas and resources that will double or more their business overnight – by doing JVs – these asymmetricals can help make quantum leaps in your income, lifestyle and impact.

We’ve been doing experiments on this and it is amazing how just by introducing a business owner to that ONE person, you can have life changing ripple effect that will allow you to buy busineses yourself zero down.

JVs are a powerful secret weapon that you can use everywhere.

This simple technique of doing JVs is how you can create passive income, build generational wealth, and reshape your family tree. If you want to see examples of others are doing this and how you can too – go to BigReia.com.
