Business Buying Strategies From The Dealmaker's Academy

Each week I interview people from the world of mergers and acquisitions, specifically people who have been on my mastermind program and who have gone out and bought one or more businesses. This week we meet John Hood, who was a recent guest at my Dealmakers Live event in January. (We have another one coming up in July, by the way, with two days of exceptional deal makers in a room with a hundred people or more answering your questions about business buying). When he stood up to speak, John told us all about his six acquired businesses with a combined annual revenue of £6 million. As you’ll hear, John says that if he hadn't read my book, listened to this podcast and watched my YouTube videos then he would never have considered buying a business.
