To drop these value bombs, I brought Elliot Holland into EOFire studios. Elliot is a business buying expert.

He has a Harvard MBA and almost 15 years experience in acquisitions. His consulting company prevents clients from losing millions buying bad businesses. In today's Foundation will talk about how to be careful falling in love with sellers too quickly, never miss an opportunity to build rapport. That's critical to getting deals done. And the best time to bring advisors in is three to six months after you start your search or about a month before you get serious about a particular deal and so much more.
