I fully intended to begin a search a few months ago, but another opportunity arose for my independent consulting operation. I'm curious to hear success stories of searchers who found businesses to buy while engaged full time elsewhere. How did they manage their time? It seems a daunting task while putting in###-###-#### hours a week working on something else.

Hi Brett, I worked full time as an M&A lawyer (not an easy gig) while conducting my search and then closed on an acquisition for myself while handling a client M&A deal simultaneously. Happy to share some strategies to help streamline operations. Ping me at --@----.com
