#329 Insights from Seasoned Entrepreneurs: The Inner Circle Discussion Panel
Episode 329
In this week's episode of Business Buying Strategies, we are treated to a special Q&A session from the annual Marbella retreat featuring a panel of seasoned members from Jonathan's inner circle group.
These accomplished entrepreneurs, who have collectively acquired dozens of businesses, discuss their experiences and share invaluable tips on acquiring businesses with minimal capital outlay.
The panellists, including Hari, Simon, Tim, Jon, and Ben, dive deep into topics such as the importance of getting started, whether to take a targeted or scattergun approach, managing acquisitions without creating a 'job' for oneself, and the key factors in post-acquisition success.
Additionally, they candidly share lessons learned from their own business failures and discuss strategic exits. The episode offers rich, firsthand insights, practical advice for aspiring deal-makers, and underscores the importance of learning from those who have successfully navigated the business acquisition landscape.
