Founder and Executive Director of Zido & Rowvar and author of “The Entrepreneur’s Diary,” introduces the “20, 80 by 500 rule,” or the “Billonia rule,” as a guideline for investors. The rule involves putting up 20% of personal funds and borrowing the remaining 80% to invest in high potential real estate or startup opportunities with the goal of achieving a 500% growth potential for the company. This strategy focuses on reinvesting profits to scale investments quickly for massive returns.
However, the Billonia rule is not without risks, as leveraging to maximize gains can also amplify potential losses. It’s essential to evaluate investment opportunities carefully and have a sound investment plan. Businesses with solid business models that are less vulnerable to market conditions or third-party failures are better suited for this approach.
To successfully implement the Billonia rule, investors must have a large enough market, financially viable products, nonvolatile products, knowledge of the industry and market, and determination to revise the entire profit until reaching the target. By constantly refining the value proposition, pricing, marketing, and other critical variables, investors can maximize revenue and growth to achieve success.
The hope is for investors to utilize this potentially useful strategy and for there to be thousands of self-proclaimed “Billonia investors” globally.
