When I first got into buying and building businesses, I tried to do everything on my own for about six months straight. I was juggling operations, customer issues, marketing, and admin… and honestly, most days it felt like I was running in circles. Revenue looked okay, but profit was thin, and I couldn’t step away without something breaking. I probably would’ve burned out completely if it weren’t for my cousin stepping in. She explained how things really work in the ecom space especially about using an EA to manage day-to-day operations once the business was running. That guidance changed everything. Once I implemented simple systems, delegated the right tasks, and focused on growth levers instead of just firefighting, the business scaled faster than I ever imagined. In just a few months, I structured my first small exit and now I’m already in talks for the next acquisition doing $3–5M/year. Here’s what I learned along the way: 1️⃣ You don’t have to do it alone. Even one mentor or knowledgeable ally can save months of trial and error. 2️⃣ Systems + delegation = freedom. Your EA and processes are your leverage they let the business run without you. 3️⃣ Focus on scalable levers. Don’t get trapped in busywork; invest in what actually drives revenue and profit. ✨ My question for the group: what business are you currently building or looking to acquire? I’d love to hear what spaces you’re exploring and swap lessons! 👇

When I first got into this whole “buy, build, sell” space, I had no clue what I was doing. I was running my business, putting out fires every day, and honestly… I thought scaling was just about working harder. But the truth? I was just running in circles. Revenue was solid, but profit was thin and I couldn’t step away for even a day without something breaking. Then I got around a few people who actually do this buying, fixing, and flipping companies like it’s normal. That’s when things started to make sense. They helped me see what real scalability looks like systems, delegation, acquisition strategy… the stuff nobody talks about on YouTube. Fast forward a few months, and I ended up structuring my first small exit. Now I’m in talks for my next acquisition, aiming for something doing $3–5M a year. It’s wild how much changes once you’re around the right people who’ve already done what you’re trying to do. If anyone’s been thinking about buying or selling a business but doesn’t know where to start drop a “how’d you do that?” below and I’ll share what actually helped me make the jump 👇

When I started my entrepreneurial journey, I thought the only way to grow was through hustle: build a business from scratch, push sales, grind every single day. I hit a ceiling fast. I tried different models, new offers, even burned cash on ads but no matter what, I couldn’t break through. It wasn’t until I discovered the power of Mergers & Acquisitions that things shifted. Instead of starting from zero, I learned how to: ✅ Buy existing businesses with revenue already flowing ✅ Build them stronger by fixing operations, systems & marketing ✅ Sell them (or hold them) for 8- and 9-figure outcomes That mindset change took me from being “just another business owner” to thinking and acting like a deal maker. Today, I’m not chasing small wins. I’m structuring deals, growing through acquisition, and building wealth in ways I didn’t even know were possible a few years ago. 👉 If you’re here inside Buy, Build, Sell™, remember: the fastest way to grow isn’t always building harder it’s learning how to acquire and scale smarter.
