SPEAKER #9@DaveC -- The Business of Buying Businesses.
How To Jumpstart Into Business (For newbs w/o a business) Or Add to Your Existing Business (For those who have one.)
Many entrepreneurs start out building web businesses from scratch…finding an idea, doing research, creating landing pages, testing offers, etc…. Even with “lean startup” or “fail fast” methodologies, many small businesses experience failure. Buying an existing business will often accelerate you past these roadblocks.
About Dave: He's personally used this to build a portfolio of cash flow and appreciation. The returns can easily be 40-50% per year or more. I’ve been investing in online website purchases since 2009 and have done dozens of deals in sizes ranging from under $1k to over $2million.

- Tickets on Sale Date: To Be Determined (based on confirmed speakers)
- Best strategy to get tickets? (They sell out quickly!) WATCH THE FORUM for updates. Be an INSIDERS. Don't have ZERO posts.
ROOMSIf you are planning on going to this event, PLEASE plan to stay at the resort. IT'S A GREAT TIME and a GREAT PLACE to say. The casino will give us a room code and a small discounted room block once I firm up the speakers. Room prices should be $239/nite plus typical ridiculous hotel add-ons.
THURSDAY CHECK-IN RECOMMENDED
(STAY TUNED FOR CODE -- IT IS NOT SET!)
If you attended last year (2016) it was a spectacular time. The night life at the casino is awesome, and the networking aftewards is good too. Plenty of places to drink/sit around and talk shop.
The purpose of this thread is to give guests/attendees a flavor for the type of presentations they can expect to hear before they buy. You can expect to hear from many forum regulars as well as some old-timers. In total, I'm shooting for 20 speakers (19 plus myself) at 30 minutes per clip.THURSDAY CHECK-IN RECOMMENDED
