Don't shoot an arrow if you don't know what you're shooting at.
In other words: don't spend time trying to find SMB leads if you haven't established exactly what you want first.
Don't waste your time or the seller's unless you're serious. Time is money: move with purpose.

4. Creative financing 💰: Acquiring a business can be more affordable than you think, with various debt options available
5. The power of add-ons ➕: Growing through add-on acquisitions can be less expensive and more successful than driving growth exclusively through sales efforts
6. Leverage existing assets 🏭: Use the acquired company's assets as collateral to fund new product offerings and software development
We read "Buy Then Build" by Walker Deibel so you don't have to
Here are 9 key learnings from the book...
1. The 6-month calendar📅: Set an aggressive goal to close a deal within 6 months. This urgency keeps you focused and increases your chances of success
2. Seller psychology matters💭: Understanding and winning over the seller can lead to better deal terms. Most inexperienced buyers mistakenly distrust sellers from the start
3. The "20x EBITDA" trap 📈: Sellers who haven't been through the selling process often overvalue their business, asking for 20 times EBITDA. Educate them on market realities
