New Livestream guest- Steven Beal, CBV, CFA, CPA https://www.BealBusinessBrokers.ca I’m happy to have Steven Beal join me on a live broadcast. Steven has decades of banking, accounting, business valuation and business brokerage experience. Tune in and as we’ll be discussing why so many buyers are being IGNORED by business brokers and how to break through the static and noise of the marketplace and be noticed. This is a ‘must see event’ for someone trying to buy a business which has been put up for sale via a business broker. If the broker doesn’t see you as a legitimate buyer, you won’t have any chance of having your offer considered… you may not even get a chance to meet the seller. Be sure to join live so that you can ask questions, replay will be available. We’ll be going live June 6 at 5pm Eastern, 2pm Pacific. See you there!

Sieva Kozinsky reveals how anyone can buy their first business and quickly grow it to a $500,000 income… but does the plan make sense? Well, it’s hard to know. 10,500 people seem to like the advice. I’m getting old, so I’ve seen many deals and have some experience. Let me show you how I deconstruct this advice and see if it really plays out the way the author says. You may be surprised to learn that things on the Internet are not always what they seem. I explore the nitty-gritty of this advice and determine if it really makes sense or not in today’s video: https://youtu.be/K89r4TNebFE Other videos mentioned in this recording: Why SDE is not Cash Flow: https://youtu.be/E0IEGtsIE1o Pay for Potential, Blue Sky: https://youtu.be/INMiJJbXrZw Dead Capital in a Business: https://youtu.be/kHnIh6HM840 David and Warren Buffet Duel over Depreciation: https://youtu.be/_S2m1dieX6w Learn how to buy an already-successful and profitable business even in the covid-recession https://www.BusinessBuyerAdvantage.com Book a call with me at https://www.CallDavidBarnett.com Books can be found in my Amazon store: https://www.amazon.com/shop/davidbarnett Stop missing my new videos.

Do you want to exit your business and still earn income? Why is documenting systems the key to making a business sellable? Why should you consider your business as an asset and not a life role? In this podcast episode, I speak with, Ron and Lexie Lee about how to build a sellable business.

Chris sent me an email asking about whether fast-growing companies were extra-risky? Well, it depends on where the growth comes from. But, there is another risk in buying a fast-growing company. The risk that if the deal doesn’t close quickly, the seller will second-guess the price and/or other factors.

I suggested a few weeks ago that a reason NOT to buy a business was because you could make as much or more money by NOT being the owner. Let me explain… This week I’ll explain 4 different ways that non-owners can make more money, potentially, than business owners from a business. While the other benefits of freedom, control, etc may not be there for some of these strategies, they also don’t usually involve any investment risk. Please comment on YouTube if you’ve seen some of these strategies in action.

I respond to some YouTubers who say that you need to have a cutthroat mindset to make it in business. I disagree. I think this attitude will sink your long-term prospects in business. Except, if you operate under some specific circumstance. Instead, I give you my thoughts on the kind of attitude that pays off in business.

Dave asks me via email if seasonal businesses sell for more or less and if the timing of the transaction is important. They can sell for a different price, but it may surprise you how and why. And Yes, people do usually want to buy them in the off season. The terms as well can be interesting.
