Buying A Business

Specific Topics

1-1: The Foundation

So ... what's better? To start a business or to buy a business? These individuals included in this podcast have started businesses and purchased businesses as well. There are decades of valuable experience and lots of wisdom.

Curious?

Overall, it's not better to do one or the other, but for you, it could be the difference between success and failure. How should I find a business to buy? How should I fund the business? Should I have business partners or not?

Am I ready to buy a business? If we aren't able/willing to be consistent for 30 minutes a week with this podcast, then we're not ready.  
If we aren't ready to drive things forward without being asked, then we're not ready to buy a business. 
Audio Podcast
If we're not ready to work our butts off in prep to buy/run a business, then we're not ready to buy a business. If this seems harsh ... well ... probably a good indicator that we're not ready to buy a business. Just saying.

This is a great start to many future podcasts to come.

1-2: How Do I Find A Business To Buy?

In an ideal world you would have a BOS ~ Business Operating System ~ click here ~ which has been designed to find amazing businesses to buy. If you are choosing from a number of businesses and have experts who are helping you find the ideal business for your skills and passions that will help you a great deal.

Curious?

In an ideal world, you would have a Business X-Ray ~ click here ~ completed on the business and the business owner, and/or one of the other five available assessments.
Have a really good accountant and strong business coach who has been certified in BO,S along with excellent legal counsel. If you "hunt in packs" with others who are looking for a business to buy, that will help you a great deal.

What hurt in life / business have they not healed from? ~ click here for healing booklet ~

If they haven't healed, they will be control freaks and not even know it.

  • Rather than controlling things they should be controlling ... like themselves, they will seek to control you.
  • ​They will project all their issues onto you.
  • ​They will not take ownership, even for the simplest of things ... which means ... they aren't able to grow.
  • ​They will train everyone around them not to bring up their mistakes, not to question them ... and if anyone does bring something up ... where they are clearly in the wrong / mishandled the situation with a client ... they will blame the client and when it's clear that they were wrong, and there's no way for them to run and hide, they will black out ~ click here ~.
  • ​Why when a mistake they made, a fault they have, do they, as a reflex, bring up ... "Have you looked in the mirror?" They are so broken, so hurt ... they can't see anything about themselves to fix and if on the off chance they do see something, they may say they are sorry ... but will go back and do the same thing again and again. ~ click here for Protocol For An Apology ~
  • ​They aren't able to INTERNALIZE, ~ click here ~ it seems like anything ... other than ... what hurt someone else has done to them.
Shoot ... if you're thinking ... "Wow, all the above is me ... do I even want to go in business for myself." ... well ... that's really good. :-) This is not a black or white, but a spectrum.
