Finding Passion & Purpose In Acquisitions, Exits, Entrepreneurship & Life with Raleigh Williams 46:44

منذ 10 أيام46:44

46:44

When it comes to business, the goal isn’t just a big exit—it’s about building something so empowering that staying in or stepping away both feel like exciting options. In this episode, Jaryd Krause is joined by Raleigh Williams, a former Mergers & Acquisitions lawyer turned successful entrepreneur. Raleigh left his law career after just nine months to start an escape room business, which he scaled and sold for eight figures. Now a father of three and husband to a breast cancer survivor, Raleigh now helps entrepreneurs “take chips off the table” and reconnect with the creativity and joy that originally drove them into business. The conversation dives deep into Raleigh’s journey—from walking away from law, to building a multi-million-dollar company, to writing a powerful book that helps founders navigate the emotional rollercoaster of exits and acquisitions. For entrepreneurs wondering whether to sell, grow, or rediscover their passion for their business, this episode is packed with game-changing insights. Learn how to find fulfillment in business, make empowered decisions, and avoid the identity crisis that can follow a big exit. Get ready for a raw, insightful, and inspiring conversation about purpose, growth, and enjoying the journey of entrepreneurship, no matter what stage you’re in. Episode Highlights 03:00 Finding purpose in your work and life 10:00 Combining enjoyment and passion into your business 17:00 Can you truly make a hobby your work? 25:30 The importance of being authentic in both business and personal life. 33:00 How suffering and passion intersect in meaningful work. 41:00 Raleigh's book and finding true fulfillment. 45:00 Where to find Raleigh and his book? Key Takeaways ➥ Purpose isn’t found—it’s created by doing work that energizes you in the present, not some future ideal. ➥ Passion doesn't mean ease. True passion often involves suffering you’re willing to bear because the work feels important. ➥ Hobbies don’t have to become work. It’s okay to keep joy separate from your income stream. ➥ Living an undivided life—being the same person in every setting—leads to deeper fulfillment and less emotional burnout. ➥ A true calling feels like something only you can do, even when it's hard. That’s what gives it meaning.

Creating Your Bolt On Business Acquisition Strategy with Marty M. Fahncke 39:03

منذ 24 يومًا39:03

This conversation delves into the key aspects of acquiring and selling online businesses, including: ✔️ The types and sizes of businesses that are ideal for acquisition ✔️ Common mistakes sellers make and how to avoid them ✔️ Strategies for bolting on businesses to an existing brand ✔️ The process of identifying, acquiring, and financing the right business ✔️ The "leaky bucket" problem and how businesses can save thousands of dollars per month For anyone looking to scale through acquisitions and make smarter investment decisions in the online business space, this episode is for you.

Using Programmatic M&A For Growth By Acquisition To Solve Every Business Problem You Face with Tom Shipley 40:46

منذ 13 weeks40:46

40:46

What if every business problem—whether it’s a lack of cash flow, resources, or room to grow—could be solved by buying another business? And what if the price or your current finances didn’t have to hold you back? On this episode of the Buying Online Business podcast, host Jaryd Krause talks with Tom Shipley, a seasoned entrepreneur, investor, and expert in mergers and acquisitions (M&A). Tom has built brands that generated over $2 billion in sales and raised more than $100 million for business acquisitions. He is also the co-founder and CEO of Ava, a company that specializes in helping businesses grow through acquisitions. In their conversation, Tom shares how he got started in acquisitions, including his first deal, which helped him triple his business in a short time. He explains when acquisitions make sense, when they don’t, and how to avoid deals that might drain a business’s resources. Listeners will also hear about: Simple strategies for financing and structuring deals, even with limited cash. How to avoid overpaying or putting too much strain on a business. Key steps in due diligence to ensure a deal is a good fit. This episode is full of practical tips for anyone who wants to use programmatic M&A to solve problems and grow their business. Episode Highlights 02:00 Tom’s journey before diving into Tech M&A 10:45 Knowing seller’s intention is the key 19:00 Be careful of deals that are too good to be true 28:00 Communication is crucial in deals 40: Where to find Tom? Key Takeaways ➥ Even businesses with limited cash flow can acquire larger companies through financing strategies like seller financing, debt structuring, and rolling over equity. The key is to underwrite the acquired business's cash flow and growth potential, not just the buyer's current financial state. ➥ Understanding why a seller is exiting allows for deal structures that benefit both parties, such as monthly payouts instead of lump sums, offering tax advantages and a smoother transition. ➥ Leaders should seek "force multipliers" like acquisitions and AI to achieve disproportionate results with fewer resources. These tools can give businesses an edge in competitive markets. About The Guest Tom Shipley is a serial entrepreneur, ecommerce investor, strategic advisor, speaker and M&A expert. His brands have generated over $2B in sales, are household names and he's raised more than $100M for acquisitions.

How To Value An Ecommerce and SaaS Business for SBA Acquisitions with Ryan Hutchins 38:04

منذ 14 weeks38:04

38:04

Valuing an online business can be a complex process, especially if you're navigating different business models, price ranges, and niches. How do you know what an eCommerce or SaaS business is really worth—and how do you avoid the pitfalls that both buyers and sellers often fall into? In today’s episode of the Buying Online Businesses Podcast, host Jaryd Krause sits down with Ryan Hutchins, a serial entrepreneur and business valuation expert. Ryan shares his experience as the owner of Peak Business Valuations and several other ventures, including plumbing companies, a multi-location bakery, a pizza restaurant chain, and even a stripping company. His unique background offers incredible insights into the world of business valuations, acquisitions, and investing. Together, Jaryd and Ryan dive deep into SBA acquisitions, exploring everything from common mistakes buyers and sellers make to the key differences between valuing eCommerce businesses and SaaS businesses. They discuss the importance of working capital, how SBA loans are approved, and what business valuation firms like Peak Business Valuations look for in eCommerce and SaaS acquisitions. Ryan also shares his thoughts on the risks involved in Amazon-based businesses vs. off-Amazon eCommerce businesses—and why some risks are far more critical than others. Whether you're buying your first online business or looking to scale your acquisitions strategy, this episode is packed with lessons to help you accurately value a business and secure the right deal. If you're considering buying an online business—or just want to better understand the world of business valuations—you won't want to miss this episode! Episode Highlights 02:00 Ryan’s journey on valuing businesses 10:20 Risks of owning an Amazon business 16:00 What are supplier risks? 23:00 How to value a business using an SBA loan? 37:00 Connect with Ryan Key Takeaways ➥ eCommerce businesses tend to have higher risks if sales are Amazon-dependent, as Amazon can change its policies or suspend accounts. SaaS businesses typically have predictable recurring revenue, making them easier to value, but customer churn and tech support are key risks to consider. ➥ Dependency on a few key customers can be risky. If those relationships are tied to the seller personally, customers might leave when the seller exits. ➥ Working capital is essential. Buyers must have enough funds to maintain and grow the business post-acquisition.
