2022 Favourite And Most Popular Video Roundup
It’s like an awards show for SMB videos…

I don’t think so.

LIVE- David's 2022 Christmas Eve Special
My big gift to all of you.
Nothing celebrates the holidays like getting together with friends and family for a big meal or a party.
It’s in this spirit that I’ve decided to continue my tradition of doing a Christmas Eve live special.
I’ve invited some friends to come and talk about their experiences in 2022 and what we might expect for the year to come:
Mike Finger, a former business owner, business broker and consultant who helps business owners prepare their businesses for sale. Mike is also the co-host of my new show Your Exit Squad. I’m sure we’ll be sharing some of the details of this program as season 1 is about to be released. https://www.ExitOasis.com https://www.YourExitSquad.com
Giuseppe Grammatico, The Franchise Guide from New Jersey who has appeared on my show discussing franchise opportunities. https://ggthefranchiseguide.com/

Ted Leverette, The Original Business Buyer Advocate™ Ted’s been working with clients around the world to help them buy some impressive businesses. Maybe he’ll share some of their successes or one or two of his secrets with us this year. https://partneroncall.com/
Henry Lopez, former car wash and suite salon owner and current co-working space and frozen yogurt shop owner will be visiting too. Henry is also a business coach and the host of the How of Business Podcast. https://www.thehowofbusiness.com/

Rick has owned seven different food/coffee businesses over the years and is a Wizard of Ads partner with Roy H Williams’ Austin, TX based organization. He’s also appeared this past year as a live guest on the YouTube channel. https://wizardofads.org/
As a live event, if you can join us during the broadcast, you’ll be able to post comments that I’ll be able to see and so it could be quite interactive for us.
Starting on the 24th, I’m going to be releasing this year’s Holiday Chat calls.
I’ll be sending out one each day to people on this email list only.
If you have a friend who should be on the list to get this information and those Holiday Chat calls, then send them to

Cheers and enjoy the holiday season.

Talk Me Into Buying A Business
Lee says I’m a party-pooper.
All my videos lately have been scaring him off from the idea of buying a business.
Is it true?
Do I have a bad attitude?
Or- Do I have more nefarious aims.
Reverse psychology?
Maybe I’ve been replaced by a doppelganger?
Let’s explore the continuum from Conceptual to Pragmatic in today’s video.

Recession Proof Businesses
Just like nature, survival means adaptability….
Making and selling insulin is pretty recession-proof.
But it’s not a business we can usually go out and buy.
So, if we’re limited to the world of small businesses, what kinds of things should we look for?
This week, we examine the characteristics of a business that can survive and I explain how I can teach you a way to give yourself an edge in buying during this time.
