Do you wish you could own your own business and get paid for the value you create without the risk of starting from scratch?
Have you spent years wanting to start a business but never taken any action?
If you’re like most, growing a business that already exists would come more naturally than starting something from the ground up – and the odds of success are also much higher.
-
Maybe you’ve been waiting to get more money saved up
-
Maybe you’ve wanted certainty about which business to buy or how to go about it
-
Maybe you’re feeling a bit overwhelmed
-
Maybe you’re waiting on a sign to convince you that you’re ready
-
Maybe you are afraid of messing up because:
-
This is probably one of the biggest investments you have ever made
-
You’ve never used this much debt before
-
You’ve led a small team but never been CEO
-
You fear the unknown – how do you handle functional things, like payroll and benefits
-
What if it’s the wrong company?
-
What if there’s competition I’m not aware of lurking around the corner?
-
What about managing customer relationships?
-
Are there enough barriers to entry?
-
Those are all just excuses – stories you’re telling yourself. You’re ready.
This is the sign you’ve been waiting for.

Introducing the Demystifying Business Buying (DBB) course outline:
The old way: Other online courses give you an exhausting list of videos, PDFs, and cobbled-together “bonus material.” It was easy to log in and be impressed by the quantity of information, but where do you go from there? Does anyone really need a 12-page document explaining all the ways to cut and paste in excel?
The new way: We reinvented business buying from the ground up. Each Demystifying Business Buying module is a complete, current, and step-by-step methodology for achieving each of the major milestones in a private investment transaction.
For example, if you want to know more about diligence, use the DBB methodology on financial due diligence, which includes:
- Specific questions to ask no matter what the company is or does
- Videos on translating what a seller or broker says into what they really mean
- Detailed instructions on crafting your company's narrative with data and stories when you're raising third-party capital
- And actual examples of diligence red flags that have killed several deals and saved our investors millions of dollars.
Module 1: Finding the Right Business for YOU
- You know you want to buy a business, but which one? Maybe you’ve always been a jack-of-all trades and everything sounds interesting. Perhaps you have an industry specialty but want to do something new. We’ve got processes to help you narrow this down and find the right business for the life you want to live.
Module 2: Simplifying the Sourcing, Screening, and Offer Process
- Finding the needle in the haystack can be overwhelming. We provide the tools that will help you recognize the best opportunities right when you see it – like giving you a magnet to find the needle.
Module 3: Business Diligence: Know the Company and its People Better than the Owner
- Proven diligence questions, data request lists, and templates to quickly identify any red flags. Actual meeting cadences, agendas, and questions to ask to get in sync with the owner(s) of the business to get you equipped to take over on day one.
Module 4: Performing Financial Due Diligence with X-ray Vision
- The first step of good diligence is to make sure you don't get your face shot off. The second rule is the same as the first. Here, we’ll walk you through exactly how analyze historical data, question and relate the stories you've heard back to the data, and increase the likelihood of a successful investment. Your model will be wrong, but you need to build one so you know what are the 3-5 key drivers of performance in the business. We have templates for that, too.
Module 5: Dotting the i’s and Crossing the t’s: Legal Docs and Other Diligence
- Lawyers are human, too. We will detail each of the key legal documents, terms, and conditions require extra attention, as well as what is standard in the market for similar types of investments so you care avoid unfair dealings. Your own lawyer will look to you for guidance on what to push back on. You'll learn the things that matter most and how to position and pre-negotiate so that the sellers don't even realize they're giving on a major investment point.
Module 6: Funding, Closing, and Starting Your New Job
- Here we shift our focus to wrap it all up and across the finish line. In this module, we provide details about wire transfers and protocols to ensure fraudsters stay out of the information flow, while preparing you for success on day one at your new job!
BONUS:
- Don’t forget, you’ll also get 60 days FREE in our community, which includes access to Nick and other business buyers just like you. But act fast, because there are only 4 spots remaining in the current cohort.
No other program will equip you with these tools that will transform you into a professional investor.
And no one else would do it for this price.
But we are teachers and coaches at heart, and we're on a mission to change the way business is done and help as many people as possible start living their Undivided Life.
Hiring someone else to do your diligence can run $50,000, $100,000, or (we've paid) $200,000+ for a 4-week engagement and a glossy, 80-page PDF for the investment committee. That doesn't make sense for a lot of SMB investments.
You're here because you are the type of person willing to roll up your sleeves and get messy. Unafraid to work hard. And finally, you'll be able to reap the rewards and get paid for the value you create.
