I'm very new in my journey and hoping to learn from experienced searchers... what's the absolute most painful part of the search?
Is it finding the business (if so, why)? Is it diligencing the business (if so, why)? Anything else?
I'm trying to understand what I should expect to be the worst part in the next 2 years - and any advice for making it better would be very much appreciated

My advice is to have a few people in your corner you can go to for quick questions and to leverage for the right path forward.
There's likely going to be periods of doubt and feeling that time is wasted. It's hard to manage those thoughts and emotions and be objective on evaluating how the search process is going.
