- 511. How To Live The Self Employed Life w Jeffrey Shaw
Tersh talks with Jeffrey Shaw, the author of The Self Employed Life!
"But that's in fact, what made me different than all the other photographers is that I actually forgot it was a product. I always said I was selling the intangible you know, the result was photographed and in my case are very large portraits to hang on the wall, major art pieces to hang in a room. So, I mean, the product was a significant result, but I succeeded because it was never the product I was selling, really." -Jeffrey Shaw
Jeffrey has been a portrait photographer for 36 years, and he knows more about how to serve clients and how to be self-employed than most. This fact alone could be enough for most people to visit www.theselfemployedlife.com!

Tersh talks with Elliot Holland from the Guardian Due Diligence!
"So at what point do we bring you into the conversation? Is it like, hey, I'm looking at buying this company, they've given me an NDA or a non-disclosure agreement and I've signed it, here are the numbers? Does this make sense or is it after we've already put it in the offer? Because sometimes, like especially first-time people that are buying...maybe it's like your competitor down the street is going out of business or talking about retiring and you want to acquire them and you've never done this process before. When do we bring you in?" -Tersh
Elliott has been a part of tons of HVAC and service business acquisitions, and he knows our industry better than most. This fact alone could be enough for most people to reach out to him for his services, but there is so much more to the story!
When we are looking to acquire another small business, we oftentimes take the word of the seller, more than we should, as the truth.
Sometimes we use the bank's underwriter to tell us that the numbers do not match up correctly, but who could tell us what the business number's really mean? Elliott Holland of Guardian Due Diligence is just that person!
Elliott, founder of Guardian Due Diligence is a business buying expert. He has a Harvard MBA, spent 10 years buying companies for himself and others, and now prevents his clients from losing millions buying bad businesses. He's the guy to hire to guard your money. https://guardianduediligence.com/ will go into the background of the business that you are looking to purchase so that you will not be left with crazy surprises or a bad taste in your mouth when it comes to business acquisitions.
In today's episode, Tersh and Elliot talk about 5 reasons service business owners fail when it comes to purchasing other businesses. They both speak from personal experiences, and Tersh shares, for the first time on the podcast, his regrets of purchasing IceBound in 2018.
Our Deep Dive~
- The seller has hundreds or thousands of reasons to lie.
- The numbers don't lie.
- There are places these numbers can be hidden, and we share a few of those places...
- ...you'll have to listen to the rest of the episode for these juicy details!
"I tell people all the time you should not be betting against the seller. Somebody who's been in the business for 10 or 20 years absolutely knows it better than you."
-Mr. Holland

Tersh talks with Zach Psioda from the HVAC Shop Talk Podcast!
"I think a few people have talked about this, where you are a good technical person in HVAC and you believe that the HVAC gods will rain down business on you as appreciation for your progress and success, which doesn't happen."
Zack is well known around the air conditioning community for his YouTube channels and multiple podcasts pertaining to the skilled trades, mainly the HVAC industry.
He has owned multiple air conditioning businesses in North Carolina over the previous 20 years, and we tap into this experience to ask him to share his largest struggles when it comes to operating a business.
In today's episode, Tersh and Zack talk about 5 reasons small business owners fail soon after beginning their heating and air conditioning business. They both speak from personal experiences within the business, and share topics that were never shared with them before they started their businesses!
Our Deep Dive~
- Being too technical.
- Not being technical enough.
- Not seeking the guidance of coaching.
- ...you'll have to listen to the rest of the episode for these juicy details!
The most successful people out there are not half technicians and half owners...they step out of the van and become full owners.
