Why I Don’t Invest in Stocks – And What I Do Instead
Let’s cut straight to it: I don’t invest in the stock market.
Not because it doesn’t work. It works—for some people.
But I’m playing a different game—the game of ownership, control, and scalable cash flow.
The stock market? That’s passive.
And I’m not here to be passive.
Why I Built Main Street Hustlers
We built Main Street Hustlers for a reason.
Look around: giants like Amazon, Walmart, Meta, BlackRock—and let’s be honest, anything Elon touches—are swallowing up every piece of the market they can.
They’re buying or building everything to own the entire customer journey.
Think your small business is safe?
Think again.
Whether you run:
- A five-truck HVAC company
- A restaurant
- A plumbing business
the big guys want your:
- Customers
- Contracts
- Margins
They’ve got:
- Capital
- Tools
- Time
The Real Reason We Exist
Main Street Hustlers isn’t just a name.
It’s a mission.
I started this company because I lived that struggle.
I almost lost everything.
Not once.
Twice.
And I didn’t bounce back by waiting for miracles.
Yes—faith was part of it.
But prayer without action?
That’s just panic with your eyes closed.
Worked
Learned
Failed
Took painful steps
…because the alternative was dying broke.
I’ve had nights I couldn’t sleep, wondering:
How to pay bills
How to make payroll
How to save a deal from falling apart
If you’re there now—I see you.
I’ve been there.
Now, I still grind.
But not just to survive.
Now I grind to beat Wall Street at its own game.
What I Do With My Money Instead
We operate more like a private equity firm, not a stock portfolio.
But here’s the twist:
We don’t raise capital.
We use our own money.
We don’t aim for 10–15% returns.
We aim for exponential growth, tax efficiency, and control.
Here’s what we do:
We don’t take payouts
We reinvest
We buy businesses
We build systems
We partner with operator
We stay liquid and strike fast when the right opportunity comes
We’re not looking to go public.
We’re looking to own the businesses the public depends on.
What I Value More Than Expensive Steak and Wine
You won’t catch me in some fancy steakhouse sipping overpriced wine and debating market theories.
I’d rather be:
Sitting on a folding chair
At a taco truck
Eating carne asada
Drinking black coffee
Having a real conversation with a business owner grinding to stay alive
That’s where the real wealth is.
That’s where the opportunity is.
That’s who I build with.
