Ask Me Anything - Acquiring Kelly Green

Six months ago, I became the owner and operator of Kelly Green, an interior plantscaping company in Seattle. It’s been a deeply educational, and humbling chapter. Going from searcher to owner has clarified many things I wish I had known before closing, and I want to share them so the ETA community can, hopefully, benefit from what I learned. So, I’m hosting a virtual Ask Me Anything on February 4th at 9am PST / 12pm EST to share these lessons candidly and answer your questions.

Congratulations, ^redacted‌! So much focus on the search and not enough on the First 100 Days and beyond post-acquisition. Love this!
