Paul reveals entrepreneur advice on eliminating risk, avoiding million-dollar mistakes, and why your business plan should never be "hope and a prayer."

Learn the secrets to success in business acquisitions: why you must trust the seller or walk away, how to negotiate seller financing (price OR terms, never both), why distressed businesses can be golden opportunities, and how to structure deals that protect you from bankruptcy. Get business tips on due diligence strategy, removing emotion and ego from the buying process, understanding debt service coverage ratios, and why first-time buyers should never think they're smarter than sellers who've run businesses for 20 years. This life-changing conversation proves that the right business at the wrong price will destroy your life—leading to divorce, depression, and financial ruin. Paul's mission through BizBuy Pro is paying it forward, helping professionals transition from W-2 income to business ownership while creating generational wealth without the devastating mistakes he made over 25 years.
