    The Investor Mindset for Business Mastery

    Welcome to the Business Lunch podcast. In this episode, we explore what it truly means to position yourself as an investor in the business world, regardless of the size of your bank account. In this power-packed episode, we unlock the strategies and mindsets that separate the savvy entrepreneur from the everyday business owner. We talk about how leveraging not just capital but also your unique resources, network, and skills can significantly amplify your impact and success.  

    Highlights:

    "The truth is that most savvy investors don't bring a bunch of cash to a deal. The easiest thing you can do is bring cash to a deal. But that's also the riskiest thing you can do because your cash could be lost." 


    "Capital also means other resources that companies want and need... Anything that you can bring... is capital. And if you're someone who can bring those resources, that capital to a company, you are an investor." 


    "Working above the business is when you are no longer thinking about how do I sell the product or service... You're thinking of the business itself as your product."

    Selective Acquisition and Navigating Through Opportunities

    Welcome to a new episode of Business Lunch. In this episode, we explore strategic business acquisitions and dive deep into the process of identifying, analyzing, and seizing the right opportunities. In a world teeming with potential ventures, understanding how to sift through a variety of options to find those that align with your goals is crucial. This episode unveils the importance of setting clear acquisition criteria to avoid the overwhelming of possibilities and highlights the significance of focusing on sectors and business sizes that promise the best return on investment. Whether you're a seasoned investor or stepping into the arena of acquisitions for the first time, this guide lights the path to making informed decisions that pave the way for success.

    Highlights:

    “Steve Jobs said, one of the worst things that you can do is to drown in opportunity. Opportunity is good, but if there's too much opportunity, it creates paralysis, overwhelm, and you end up not doing anything."


    "The very first step to finding deals is to know what you're looking for. If you don't have acquisition criteria, then you'll look at everything and you might find yourself with a wide array of businesses that don't go together."


    "The business value in both of these charts that I've shown you is significantly higher when the business gets bigger. That's the big takeaway there."
