Personal blog — a classification, not a measurement. An on-box language model (Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-FP8, prompt version 1) read this channel’s own recent posts on 15 September 2026 and assigned it the closest of 31 fixed categories, at 78% confidence. This is a model’s judgement about what the channel is likely to be about, not a fact this register measured the way a subscriber count or a view count is measured — it can be revised on a later pass, and it carries no weight anywhere else on this page. How this classification works, and why it has no browse page of its own yet.

20 posts held, back to 2 May 2026 — the reader has not yet reached the start of this channel’s public history, so older posts may sit further back, unread. Read across 2 pages of Telegram’s post history, 20 posts per page.
Nothing published in the last 30 days. ERR and ER are rolling 30-day measures, so there is nothing to compute — we hold 20 posts for this entry, the most recent from 26 July 2026. An engagement rate over an empty window would be a number about nothing.
37 reactions across 9 posts, in 5 distinct kinds. The most used accounts for 73.0% of them.
| Reaction | Count | Share | Share, drawn |
|---|---|---|---|
| 🔥 | 27 | 73.0% | |
| 👍 | 7 | 18.9% | |
| 👀 | 1 | 2.70% | |
| 👏 | 1 | 2.70% | |

No sentiment is inferred, and none should be read in. This table is ordered by count and by nothing else. Emoji do not carry stable meaning across languages or communities — 🙏 is thanks in one channel and mourning in another — so we publish which ones were pressed and how often, and pass no judgement on what an audience meant by them.
Precision. Telegram publishes reaction counts per emoji and short-forms each one — 4.34K, 1.2M — so any single kind at or above 1,000 reaches us at three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. The shares above are ratios of those figures and carry the same error. This is also why the total here can differ slightly from a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page: both are sums of the same rounded parts, taken over samples with different edges.
Coverage. Reactions were read on 9 of the 20 sampled posts in this sample. Summed by Telegram’s own count on each post — not by adding up the per-emoji breakdown above — those same posts carry 37 reactions in total: the kind of figure the paragraph above means by “a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page”.
Measured over the 20 most recent posts we hold, published 2 May 2026 to 26 July 2026, using the newest reading held for each. Telegram Stars are excluded: they are a payment, not a reaction, and they have their own section.
Let me tell you a quick story about how simple life really is. When I was 13, my friends and I wanted to go out after school and smoke that good stuff, which meant we needed money, and we needed it that same afternoon. Lunch break gave me exactly 1 hour, so I dedicated the entire hour to a single mission: getting money. My method was not sophisticated. I literally asked people. The beggar tactic, applied with full …

My chairman has met most world leaders(all the famous ones), been endorsed by several PMs, sat with Gates and Ballmer multiple times. His observation from those rooms: Ballmer, louder, more aggressive, physically enormous in presence, NEVER once disrespected the chain of command. Gates was the boss. Period. Leadership at the summit is supreme power balanced with total respect for structure. Get a mentor. I have t…
This how my radiology rollup brother did his first deal. He exited for $200M all cash. Exactly this deal structure. Then went on to do 23 more deals. I am currently only at 2 clinics. Will hopefully close the year at 3-4 clinics. Being in proximity to these type guys just shows it’s possible. Nothing special about them other than Aggressive risk, High emotional bank account, Speed, Playing the game until they win…
1/ Banks typically fund 50 to 70% of a purchase price. So stop trying to borrow 100% from a commercial lender on your first deal. Buy 60%. Let the seller roll 40% into a new company. Secure the loan with 100% of business assets. 2/ The bank sees the seller's 40% as skin in the game. The equity gap they always ask about? Filled. By the seller. 3/ Control terms, non negotiable: → You: all management rights, all vo…

My mother worked in a sweatshop; my father was a Chinese restaurant cook and a degenerate gambler. I remember vividly him gambling all our money away which was meant for food, etc., when I was growing up. I lived & grew up in the no income/low income government housing during my younger years. Multiple people took their own lives and jumped from the high-rises every year. I literally saw two people jump and splatte…

Life or death Most of our decisions don’t end up with people in body bags In business, the worst that happens is you lose money People lose their jobs You miss out on investments People badmouth you So what? You live another day to fight on And if you actually try, seriously try, put all your genuine effort into making something work - it’s impossible to fail… IMPOSSIBLE Don’t fear Life
If we take the generally accepted definition of bravery as a quality which knows no fear, I have never seen a brave man. All men are frightened. You just do it anyways. I have had very many instances myself where I have felt nervousness, anxiety & stress. One example was my intro meeting to the staff members for my second acquisition Paramount Physio. Another were my first ever cold calls, I was terrified😂

There is only attack and attack and attack some more
Some people in here have followed me for 1 year and done absolute dick all. Or super half assed your efforts. Maybe you already own a company/s Maybe you're starting from scratch But... Nothing compounds like owning actual assets, with a long term value creation plan behind them. Like a rollup. It's permanent capital. Henry Kravis, the godfather of the Leveraged Buyout even said he would do a rollup today. M…

Register for the live here if you haven't already. We will be going over the KingLi 36 100% seller finance structure, which I used on my most recent transaction acquiring Paramount Physio. + Another deal structure involving bank financing and other seller components for a $9M deal I am working on. This deal has not closed, so it's still in the air whether I close it or not, but terms are agreed with the seller and …

Showing the 12 most recent of 20 posts we hold for @leveraged_buyouts. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
A live page changes as we take new readings, so a citation should name the measurement it is based on, not just the URL. The line below cites the subscriber count as measured 12 October 2026 — this entry's latest reading, not the date you are reading this.
