The Journey

Exploration Phase

"Is buying a business actually right for me?"

Most people stall here for months. These resources help you build conviction, or realize a different path fits better, before you spend a dime.

"The upside is much, much, much greater than it was previously. We're talking about five, ten, twenty plus million dollars of a business that I would own."

"When you're stepping into a company, 20 percent are going to be distractors. The other 20 percent will get behind you. That 60 percent, they're trying to figure out which side they want to go with."
