Another baseball season. Another game of the Astros whipping up on the Yankees again. Move on. Nothing new to see.
I agreed to take a call from a well qualified searcher. Guy reached out to me via a cold email. We agreed on a specific time. We get on the call and everything is fine in the first couple of minutes. Then he begins ordering fast food via drive-thru as I'm talking - no notice.…
So the 6% residential real estate commission is dead. It’s always been a scam. Everyone knows it. It’s been dead to me for about a decade. Have sold a couple of homes since 2010 and never paid anywhere close to 6%. Why do people allow themselves to be scammed?
Can we stop thanking politicians for their “service” and instead kick them to the curb?
It’s heartbreaking to see less fortunate US residents and citizens get financially destroyed because of the absurd cost of healthcare. Yet the government has no problem sending billions and billions and billions of dollars overseas. The level of self dealing and corruption…
You go to see your doctor for your annual physical. He's well overweight. He tells you to exercise regularly, stop eating red meat, and eat more fruits and vegetables. I probe him on the red meat part as there are plenty of different viewpoints on the matter. Is it…
Boom. Just like that I lost quite a few followers overnight. Is this the typical monthly purging of the random barely dressed no-followers ladies? Anyone experience similar?
Is there anything as frustrating as shopping for a birthday card when none of the messages resonate despite a wall of cards?
Hey Fox News - requiring me to enter my email address and then asking me to confirm it EVERY single time I click on an article is a losing customer retention strategy.
There aren’t many things worse than dealing with people who talk a big game but never follow through. Run away from those people even if they pay you.
Gave a speech to a business group recently. My principal message was: KEEP GOING Success is right around the corner.
Anyone notice how inaccurate the Apple weather app is? Anything more than a day away is grossly unreliable especially around precipitation forecasts.
Sellers usually have negotiating leverage at the beginning of a deal. At what point does substantial negotiating leverage BEGIN to transfer to the buyer?
Which one of these two deals would you prefer? $1.5M EBITDA, medium customer concentration, owner heavily involved in business, been in business for 5 years, seller asking 6.5x EBITDA. $750k EBITDA, low customer concentration, owner works part time in business, been in…
SMB searchers - what’s your most pressing need? More deal flow or better deal flow?
Today I bought a snickers bar at a ski resort for $4.25 and the guy directed me to a 15%, 18%, or 20% tip. I chose the 0% option. Who’s with me?
A lot of people’s lives will change forever tonight. Don’t join that club. Be careful.

My daughter ending up in NYC is my nightmare. She could get a full ride to NYU or Colombia and I wouldn’t let her go. Best way to end up 40 with a high powered career but no kids.
@SMB_DealGuy @JuliaMorales I was waiting till the very last to go to a game here in Mexico City this weekend, but nah! Not worth it with that nil spirit, plus tickets are far from cheap.
At one point, as more employees called out for the next day, and I hadn’t stopped to eat or drink anything in 8+ hours, I laid down on the sidewalk and cried. Called my mother. Cried some more. I wanted nothing more than to stop doing this and go home to my bed.
@bennyjohnson What does he order at the Coffee ☕️ shop? A single shot?
I have no love for resorts or curated experiences. Give me a cabin by a river, with a bonfire and a view of the mountains and my soul is happy. However, while playing in the water and hearing the happy shrieks of this little girl, I can set aside my philosophical objections.
@dorse054 @SMB_DealGuy Lots of them looking in the $2-3M range these days.
@SMB_DealGuy Thanks Raul. HUGE upside in this space. But lots of risk that people need to get comfortable with. Otherwise when they going gets tough they'll wanna run... but can't because of PG and other issues.
@SMB_DealGuy @lawyer4SMBs $1m is a smaller SBA loan too.. I would think the avg for a searcher making $200k+ would be more than that (but I dont know)

If you buy a business for $5M, the business broker gets a $350k payday. Make sure they work for that fee: - Have broker coordinate & facilitate diligence - Get broker’s help on tough negotiation points A pro w/ high incentive to close can be a huge ally.
Another lesson from this story: Sellers to private equity should be very, very careful. Make sure that you have counsel who has represented big PE and can play at that level. If there is any weakness in seller's team, the PE buyer will exploit it.
Everyone who says to me, "buying a business is simple, what's the big deal?" should read this case. TLDR: PE group bought a company, then in post-closing adjustment assessed $109M of debt. All told, the PE group would receive $77m from the sellers to buy the company (obviously,…
Diligence question #1 when buying a business or asset: Why would this person rather have my money than their asset?
Costco is the correct answer. Tell me I’m wrong. I will fight you.
