    {Success Story} Feeling stuck? A six month case study of when I dropped everything to buy a business

    EXECUTION NOTABLE! 
    I remember talking to you about this over drinks when I was in Chicago in November. Glad to see it came through, congrats man! I think I know someone who agrees with you on that. Haha.

    MEETUPS 
    E.T.A Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition I would be happy to discuss the basics of how this is done (especially in industries people might overlook), examples of how to go about it, and share my personal experiences (I have acquired 3 businesses in the past year and a half all via different...

    I would say a good idea is 5% of the equation

    IDEA MINDSET RANT 
    @JScott Do you have any resources or suggestions that you credit for becoming a better negotiator? For example, the book Never Split the Difference by Chris Voss has definitely helped me in my endeavors, but I'm looking to further develop the skill as it will benefit my Fastlane plan...

    Rep bank $0? How it mimics your real life bank.

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    Could my rep dollars be used to buy lotto tickets to a rep dollar jackpot so I could skip all the work of adding value here and just bask in all that internet money and what it can get me? Only kidding. Really like the idea @MJ DeMarco . I know when I post I usually aim to provide enough...

    Wayne Huzienga Gone- The Only Man to Launch 3 Fortune 500 Companies

    Holy hell. What he did is an apt description of what I'm wanting to do (albeit on a smaller scale). I have been searching for stories of people who built an empire through acquisition especially in the non-sexy, blue-collar type industries. I had never heard of him until this, so thank you...

    2018 Fastlane Summit - Confirmed Speaker List

    MEETUPS 
    I'd say the odds of you recouping the cost of this event before you even get home from it are extremely high. Costly mistakes avoided, a path to growth you don't see, a tip that shaves months off your business profitability timeline.... All from the connections built right here at this event...

    Not Fulfilled? Depressed? Maybe You Need An Alignment

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    I have been doing these tests off and on for the last few years, digging deeper as I go. The way you approach it is phenomenal and will definitely help me progress. As an ENFP I don't always have the systematic approach down so thank you for that. I can't wait to follow along and learn more...

    Buying a already profitable business, now to due dilligence

    Not that @CareCPA needs the backup as he has proven himself over and over in this forum but when I saw the thread I came here to post basically the same thing. That will get you a great start and it is where I began. Little background on me.... Former CPA who recently purchased a business in...

    FEATURED USER 
    Due to jet-lag, I had to re-read this post like a 1,000 times to make sure it set in. I'm really glad I did as there is so much value to be taken from it. Your past posts have really helped me explore how to not attach so much emotion and judgment to life events. I am truly beginning to see...

    ? On Business Debt, Debt Coverage, Debt/ Equity Ratio

    As someone who in a past life (circa 2010-2012) audited banks I can tell you that some are anything BUT shrewd. One particular instance comes to mind when I was looking at a ton of underwater investments and asked a partner how to test it. She gave me a wry smile and said... "I don't know...

    23k Net in Two Months. Best "Sitting Cash" Strategy?

    INVESTING 
    I agree with the sentiments of paying off the high interest note. It will free up cash flow and give you an immediate return while also keeping some cash stashed away for unforeseen issues/expenses. Speaking of unforeseen issues/expenses, I would suggest using the owner's note to your...

    2016 Fastlane Summit, Official Event Thread

    MEETUPS 
    I think it is important to point out a few (of the many) things Adam did a wonderful job of in his email so I can just show my appreciation. Early in the email he let it be known what he was giving up to build this business. A 6 figure job!? Most people you know have a severe tendency...

    Which type of business is best for YOU?

    Have you thought about outsourcing your call center? If you can systemize your call scripts, FAQ's, etc. you can then take it to an established call center and give them specific metrics they need to hit. That way they handle the employee side, but you still have some control by reviewing...

    Books on becoming a "people" person

    BOOKS 
    This is sage advice Andy! I hope people really take the time to let that set in. It doesn't have to be complicated to become a better people person. This is basically my approach with people, but I have never been able to put it into words. If I had attempted to explain it, I probably would...
