KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Many businesses who want to sell aren’t necessarily doing it for financial reasons. Sometimes the preservation of legacies is of far more importance that figures in a bank account.
• The key to finding a worthy acquisition is to find a “distressed seller of a good business”, not the other way around, and then giving that seller a dignified exit.
• “Deal Heat” can occur when you have a single deal cooking at any one time. The more time you focus upon it, the more you want it to succeed, removing objective thinking. The best way to combat Deal Heat is to always make sure you have multiple deals operating.
• You can double your business revenue in a single day through careful acquisition. Merging a customer database to your own can expand your potential exponentially and instantly.
• Do your research into potential sellers before you start talking deals. A simple browse through social networks can give you an invaluable pathway into their trust and friendship, which makes negotiations a whole lot easier.

 

BEST MOMENTS

‘I needed something to feed my soul and to feed my brain’

‘In a billion-dollar deal, it’s 90% financial engineering and 10% psychology. In a small deal, it’s the other way around’

‘Always be a seller’

‘You can double your business in a day, and 5X your worth just through one deal’

‘If you want to buy a business, now is the best time!’
