Do I need an MBA to join?

With the current abundance of dry powder in private equity, and an increasing number of business owners reaching retirement age, good deals rarely go unfunded.

120 - Using $100k to Buy a 7-Figure Dream Business

Yes, buying a business is difficult. Yes, it's messy and you get beat up a bit. But sometimes...sometimes, it goes smoothly. Tyler O'Connor loves golf. On a whim, Tyler searched for golf-related businesses on BizBuySell. Tyler O'Connor, owner of Bird Golf AcademyWouldn't you know it, a really interesting one came up. A golf school with relationships with beautiful golf courses around the country, and old golf pros who provide the individualized instruction. A good-sized business from a revenue perspective, and great margins to boot. And Tyler bought it, and now owns it, and it's pretty great. I'm really happy for Tyler. As you'll hear, he is a man of energy, and he was preparing for a 2-year search grind. So I have no doubt that Tyler would have been successful, even if things didn't end up breaking his way as they did. It is a fun and hopeful story, and Tyler's a fantastic interview. Here he is, Tyler O'Connor, owner of Bird Golf Academy:
