A Searcher Bought a Job and Thought it Would be Passive
<p>I knew a searcher who was buying a job, but didn't know they were buying a job.</p> <p>Buying a job is a bad thing. You just need to be realistic about what you are actually buying and what your intent is with acquiring a business.</p> <p>Repeat, there is nothing passive about buying a business. If you want a mailbox check, buy dividend-paying stocks or CDs.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>Join the How to Buy a Business Cohort </p> <p> https://www.letsbuyabusiness.com/p/how-to-build-a-business-cohort-with-ryan-condie/</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>Sourcing List:https...

4 CPA/Bookkeeper Acquisitions with Patrick Dichter
<p>Patrick Dichter is such a fun guest and entrepreneur to have on. His wealth of knowledge is so valuable. You will not be disappointed in this episode.</p> <p>Podcast Nuggies:</p> Grew Apple Tree from ~$1.2M rev / ~$330k SDE to ~$4.5M in 4 years—non-CPA owner. Pipeline: ~500 cold emails → ~20 calls → 6 LOIs → 1 close; personalize & call now. Target "professional services" (non-licensed) so non-CPA ownership works.

Lessons: first deal is hardest; change management is tough; precision matters. <p> </p> <p>Join the How to Buy a Business Cohort </p> <p>https://www.letsbu...
