The Acquisition Framework Billionaires Use That 99% Of Online Business Buyers Don't Know Exists with Brad Sugars

Episode notes

What if the way you've been thinking about buying a business has been costing you money before you've even made an offer? Not a little money. A lot. The kind of difference that turns a three-times multiple into a thirty-seven-times multiple. The kind of gap that separates someone who buys themselves a job from someone who builds a portfolio that works without them. Brad Sugars has been on the right side of that gap for thirty years. Founder of ActionCoach - the world's number one business coaching franchise across 80 countries. Over a million business owners coached. Sixteen books written. And a personal acquisition track record built on one thing most buyers never develop: a framework. He once paid double what every other bidder offered. And still got the business for ten percent of what he knew it was actually worth. Because he could see value nobody else was looking at. That's not luck. That's a system. In this episode, Jaryd sits down with Brad to unpack the acquisition philosophy that the top one percent use - and almost nobody at entry level even knows exists.
