@shaugnlindley@AcquiringMinds_ Hey Shaugn! This was an awesome episode. I’m talking to the seller of a similar company and would love to get your thoughts, and perhaps book you for some regular consulting. Please dm me if you’re open to that.
The smartest people I know:
1. Obsessively read books
2. Pursue new mental models
3. Enjoy intelligent discourse
4. Quickly admit when they're wrong
5. Comfortable changing their opinion
6. Surround themselves w/ intelligence
7. Seek to understand every perspective on a topic
As a former Investment Banker and now owner / operator of a residential HVAC company, I operate the business as if I’ll sell at any moment even though I have no intention of selling for the foreseeable future.
Here’s a list of things current business owners can start doing to enhance the sale process and potential valuation of your company whether you’re selling next year or 20 years from now. 👇🏼
If you’re a startup CEO and you’re not tweeting, you are FAILING.

Central New Jerseys premier monthly ETA Meetup (in my humble opinion) is next week! If you’re buying businesses in the tristate area this is a great local community. RSVP here: lu.ma/8w4eai9y

What most of the successful people I know have in common:
They worked hard doing something that wasn't fun for 5+ years.
Many times 10-20+ yrs.
They started out trading their time for money.
They did things that weren’t scalable.
Many of them offered services to start.
For every 1 household earning +$200,000 that moves out of Florida’s housing market, almost 3 move in
A ratio under 1.0 means that state is losing more high earner households than it’s gaining from out-of-state
