About this listen
Do you dream of being your own boss? You can start a small business, or you can acquire one already underway. After going through this program, you will understand the particular risks and benefits of each method. We will explore what it really means to be successful in your own business beyond the surface-level statistics. You will learn how businesses are valued and how to use tools like debt to acquire one or buy the stuff you need to do a startup. Most importantly, we’ll explore the real risks of small business and manage those risks by understanding how to plan for contingencies, pivots and setting limits.
WARNING: This is not a book to get you all excited with lots of empty-headed pro-entrepreneurship lifestyle cheerleading stuff. It’s about the real world and based on the author's experience as a business owner and advisor since the 1990's.

Story
After the savings, mortgages, term loans, vendor financing, lines of credit, and even credit cards have been applied there sometimes remains a 'gap' in the money required to buy a successful business. David C Barnett has spent years helping people buy and sell businesses as both a business broker and private transaction advisor. In his years of experience, he has had to bridge that gap several times using broker loans. Business brokers are not in the normal business of lending money. How does one convince a broker that this is the right thing to do?

Very few careers can offer you the freedom, flexibility, and income that day trading does. As a day trader, you can live and work anywhere in the world. You can decide when to work and when not to work. You only answer to yourself. That is the life of the successful day trader. Many people aspire to it, but very few succeed. In the audiobook, I describe the fundamentals of day trading, explain how day trading is different from other styles of trading and investment, and elaborate on important trading strategies that many traders use every day.

Wise and without hype.
If you’re looking for honest advice without influencer spin, this is the book for you. Not a bloated how to manual but rather a concise primer on what to expect and lookout for. I’ve consulted 1:1 with David and would recommend the same for anyone considering pursuing business acquisition.
Also, a tip of the hat to the narration, very well placed and pleasant to listen to. Major kudos to the author for going through the painstaking process, The impact of the work would not have been the same had he not.
