I dive into tactical ways to find an off-market business for sale. You are positioning yourself as the solution for people to retire. You are their retirement.

2. Make sure you want this lifestyle / solve those problems
3. Find out where they hang out
4. Virtual - FB Groups, Sites, Forums, Newsletters.
5. Conferences / Tradeshows
6. Advertising on Trade Magazines and sites, small budget dedicated PPC targeting owners.
7. Now, action. Move fast. 2 days to 2 weeks to get the ball rolling.
