anyone here has a service based business and has employees on 1099 contract? I am currently working on a deal in which the employees are on 1099 contract. However, when the employment lawyer reviewed the details, he mentioned that these employees should be on W2 because of the level of control the business has on the employers. Looking for some guidance on how people navigate employment for 1099 workers.

I have heard that setting up APIs for Apify, Gmail, and Google Drive should be quick, simple, and painless. @Chris Hall said it took him a few minutes to set up his initial Gmail API before he could use Claude to manage two inboxes. Has anyone had similar issues? I have multiple Gmail accounts (5+), and have invested at least 4 hours working with Claude to troubleshoot to no avail. Have any "more technical" searchers experienced this / think they have a fix?

I've got some extra time this weekend so I opened up my calendar for 1:1 calls. - Claude AI Workflows? - Raising Investor Capital? - Searching Off-Market? - Review your deal? Book some time here -> BOOK 1:1 If you missed the Claude for Financial Analysis call yesterday, you can watch the recording HERE

Today, I hosted the Claude for Financial Analysis workshop. I showed you how you can use Claude to quickly review seller financials and build models in Excel. If you missed it, you can see the recording here. 👉 You've seen the AI Mastery Bootcamp 👉 You've seen how to generate off-market leads for your search 👉 And now you're seeing how you can use Claude to build financial models and automation workflows. Are you ready to build these systems for your search? Starting next week I’ll be hosting a hands-on, 4-week workshop where we’ll build everything from scratch: - Getting started with Claude Code - Build an off-market leads funnel - Set-up cold outbound (email, social media DMs, cold calling, etc) - Automated CRM and Email management - Complete financial analysis and modeling workflow. - Build a complete library of document templates (LOI, NDA, etc) We may even discuss how to build all of this into a pitch deck for investors... 🔥 By the end, you’ll have everything you need to conduct a thorough and efficient search both on and off-market. No technical background needed and I'll walk you through it step-by-step. Does that sound like something you’d be interested in? If so, shoot me a DM and let's see if it's a good fit for your search. See you there!

This is a two page document produced by Claude, intended to be sent to brokers and maybe the occasional seller. Please critique as you see fit. I've split it into the kind of micro tuck-ins we would be happy to do into my existing business, as well as slightly larger standalone businesses. If you read this and it doesn't make sense, please let me know.
