Chenmark Weekly Thoughts
At a Glance
Subscribe and read backward: the archive is the closest thing to a longitudinal diary of the small-business holding path.
- Pricing
- Free, Free; subscribe on the site, full archive open.
- Best For
- A weekly dose of what the holdco path actually feels like, from people a decade in, without a course or community attached
Pros and Cons
Pros
- A decade-plus archive that documents the journey in real time rather than in retrospect
- Candid about the gap between holdco spreadsheet math and the daily reality of small operations
- Zero monetization pressure on the reader: no product, no cohort, no gate
Cons
- Essays, not instruction; you will not find a how-to sequence here
- Seasonal-business (their portfolio) specifics color some operational takes
- Publishing cadence and depth vary week to week, as a real operator's writing does
What Searchers Say
A quiet staple of SMB reading lists; the archive's Required Reading and small-business-resources pages are themselves cited as curation. Referenced regularly when the holdco conversation turns from theory to practice.
