Everyone loves to talk about the numbers. Revenue, profit, multiple. But the real game? It’s emotional stamina. 💡 It’s waking up after a seller ghosts you — and calling the next one anyway. 💡 It’s realizing the “perfect deal” isn’t perfect once you look under the hood. 💡 It’s pushing through rejection until one “yes” changes your life. The truth is, buying a business isn’t a financial challenge. It’s a psychological endurance test. If you’ve been through it, you know. If you’re starting — you’ll find out. So let’s help the next wave: 👉 What’s one lesson you wish someone told you before your first deal?

Every business has a website .But most websites don’t convert. Why? Because visitors:• Have small doubts• Want instant answers• Want to book an appointment now, not later• Don’t want to fill long forms And most websites still rely on manual lead capture. That’s broken. 🚀 This is where AI comes in. I’m building an AI Website Voice Assistant that:• Talks to visitors like a real human• Answers FAQs instantly• Handles customer support 24/7• Captures leads automatically• Schedules meetings & appointments for you• Never misses a visitor Think of it as a sales + support rep living inside your website. No chat bubbles. No forms. Just real conversations that convert visitors into customers. If your website gets traffic but not leads ,you don’t need more ads — you need better conversations. DM me “VOICE AI” if you want this on your website.

I’ve been off the radar for a few weeks. In a world obsessed with "daily grinds" and performative updates, silence is often mistaken for a lack of movement. For the business buyer, however, silence is often the sound of upgrading the lens. I spent the last few weeks at MegaSuccess and CES 2026. I didn’t go there to see "cool gadgets" or hear "motivational speeches." I went to sharpen my ability to see what others miss. The Reality of the "Lens" Most people look at a business for sale and see a list of problems: aging staff, outdated tech, or messy books. They see difficulties. When you upgrade your lens through high-level exposure—to the scale of thinking at MegaSuccess or the technological shifts at CES, you stop seeing "problems" and start seeing arbitrage opportunities. At CES, I didn't see toys; I saw the tools that will make a "boring" HVAC or manufacturing business 3x more efficient than its competitors. At MegaSuccess, I didn't see hype; I saw the psychological frameworks required to lead a team through an acquisition when everyone is afraid of change. The Lesson for this Community : If you are struggling to find a "good" deal right now, the problem likely isn't the market. The problem is your lens. You are looking at 2026 opportunities with a 2020 perspective. Buying a business is a game of Execution + Vision. If your vision is blurred by outdated thinking, your execution will be directed at the wrong targets. The Hard Truth Upgrading your lens is uncomfortable. It requires stepping away from the "busy work" of sending low-quality emails to actually invest in your own mental infrastructure. You cannot buy a 7-figure company with a 5-figure mindset. The Move: Weekly Audit I want you to stop looking at "deals" for one hour today and look at how you look. Post in the comments below: One "difficulty" in your current business search that you suspect might actually be an opportunity if you changed your perspective. What is one specific "input" (book, event, or mentor) you are using this month to upgrade your lens?

Most people think the negotiation starts with the Letter of Intent (LOI). It doesn’t. It starts with how you show up before the seller even decides you’re credible. Here’s what experience keeps proving true: 1. Preparation equals power. The buyer who maps the seller’s motivation (retirement, burnout, growth plateau, fear of tech disruption) controls the frame. 2. Financials don’t lie—but they don’t tell the truth either. The story behind the numbers is where the opportunity hides. Ask what the owner stopped doing once revenue stabilized. 3. Trust converts faster than terms. Sellers don’t hand over their legacy to spreadsheets. They hand it to someone who “gets it.” 4. Speed creates confidence. The faster you respond with clarity, the more a seller believes you can execute post-close. If you’re hunting deals, spend less time scrolling listings and more time sharpening your first impression. The right presence often buys you 20% off before you even talk numbers.
