A successful business is a truly unique vehicle for driving forward everything from industry innovation, to societal change, to positively influencing individual’s lives. We need to look no further than companies like Google, Zappos, Amazon, or the millions of smaller businesses that you may not have ever heard about, but which are game changers nonetheless. You have a vision for the future that you want to create, and your business is your method for delivering it (although never same-date delivery). The major caveat? You cannot drive the change you wish to see if you haven’t slept or paid yourself a salary for the past 5 years. And if after those 5 years, the markets shift, or a couple small variable change, and you go from barely scraping by, to completely out of business, you not only won’t be able to change the world, you might even be so disheartened that you might be scared out of giving entrepreneurship another go! My mission in life, is to help people like yourself fully maximize their entrepreneurial potential, and never have to face those kinds of dark days. Trust me, I’ve been there (with my first startup) and it seriously sucks. So let’s make a covenant with each other. Right here and right now. I commit to bringing you the best content that I possibly can on the topic of acquisition entrepreneurship, and providing to you every tool, resource, tactic, template, strategy,

and form of support that I can to help ensure you are successful, and all you have to do…is commit to using all this valuable material, to the best of your ability! Do we have a deal? If so, I encourage you open a new tab, typing in gmail.com (or the equivalent) and sending me an email at my personal gmail address (buythenbuild at gmail.com) with the following:
