Successful Acquirer still building

Hi All, I have not posted in a bit, because we are busy hunting deals. I wanted to come and write a quick note to those searching, because I see various information that I feel can expand on, and assist some individuals sift through the BS. Currently we have made about 3-4 acquistions, and have a few more in the pipeline which is $880M in LOI signed First and foremost it takes two people to get a deal done....full stop. It will not be your lawyers or accountants who close this transaction who have alternative motives. Your main goal is to buy a successful business that the marketplace will continue to need, and will be hard to replace. DO NOT take money from just every investor and lender, and always have an exit plan for them if you do not see eye to eye. This is how you protect them and you. Always look to preserve your investors capital. Remember they really want a RETURN OF CAPITAL before a RETURN ON CAPITAL. Get them their money back. Being an entrepreneur is tough regardless, but ETA makes it a bit less risky. You still need to wake up and accept the calling everyday, but ultimately you will get a deal done. SBA is not the only way, and to be honest as a dealmaker you should be using other savvy methods to close a transaction. As long as it is legal and ethical understand in business there are no rules. Lose the fear of being judged, and remember to keep the main thing the main thing which is close, run, and successfully exit a good business Last but not least, and certainly in my eyes the most important. Make sure God and Faith are your main partners. There are a ton of characters out there, and not every deal pans out. Rejection is God's redirection. Please have faith and do not quit. Thank you all!
