Second Time's the Charm as Owner of a $4m Business

Right?

Yeah. So you end up at SM Boot.

They're kind of SMB royalty, I think, you know, or at least a few of these guys are. And women. So, you know, there was Eric Pasofici from SMB Law, Bruce Marks from First bank of the Lakes, Josh. Josh Richmond, who started his own nuclear about a year ago.

Mike German, Hollywell Partners for Q of E. And then the last speaker was Jackie Hirsch, Crown Pacific, a business broker. And when I saw Jackie speak and I just, I had to step aside, you know, before she left and, and just talk to her and we ended up spending about an hour chatting with each other and you know, she came out of it.

Just, you know, I'm gonna find you a deal. Like give me a couple months. We are, you know, we're both based in Orlando, so I was extremely fortunate not only to find Jackie, but for this whole group.

And I ended up hiring this entire team as my deal team. Set up my little website, my little searcher website with my criteria, my background, a little picture of the family, you know, a little button that you push so you get a one page PDF of everything that's on the website. So I did, I just went lockstep with everything that the boot camp was talking about.

I used their underwriting tools and I can't recommend it enough. It just, it just gets you from theoretical kind of the Cody to SM boot Camp. You know, it's like that transition and

one thing that differentiates it is that it's in person. They now also have a virtual offering that they launched. I, I know they launched it.

I don't know how it's going or whatever, but, but at this, in this time frame, and I think to this day it's an in person experience which is, you know, comes with its own value. Yeah. And Jackie, I will say Jackie is a friend and she's an investor in Mind's Capital. And I also have been fortunate to get to know over the last couple of years.

And she just has a wonderful entrepreneurial, optimistic spirit about her. So she's, she's just really a joy. Yeah.

Yep. 100.
