7 Figure Club with Jennifer Longmore guest David C Barnett
Original Show Notes:
In this episode, I speak with David Barnett who specializes in helping individuals with buying, selling, and improving businesses.
David's has an extensive business background, from his experience in advertising sales to starting various businesses, including a commercial debt brokerage house, which led him to the field of business brokerage. He has since become a consultant for business buyers and sellers, providing guidance and evaluation.
The conversation touches on how David's teaching skills and ability to explain complex topics make him an effective resource for entrepreneurs. We also emphasize the significance of understanding the terms of a business sale beyond just the price, with a focus on structuring deals that suit both parties.
He has published several books and online courses on the topics of small business, franchising, cash flow and selling businesses privately. Three of his books have been Amazon Best-Sellers; 'Invest Local,' 'Franchise Warnings' and 'How To Sell My Own Business.'
