I turned 34 today. It will probably be the last one I get to spend with my dad. We haven’t always been super close, but we’ve been making some memories over the past few weeks.

If I was an SBA lender, I would hand out a copy of 60 Minute CFO at every closing.

Chris Powers is one of the nicest people I’ve ever met. We first met in person at the first Re-Convene. Then when my dad passed, he sent me a really thoughtful card. Then when I saw him in CoMo, he just came up and gave me a big bear hug. He’ll be missed on this platform.

@SMB_Attorney Listening to your Transitions episodes, I can’t imagine not donating to both Schoolcraft and Western Michigan. You can designate where the funds go. Pick a project or a scholarship, and help the next generation.

Today is day 1, the official launch of August Advisory. I’m ready to work directly with entrepreneurs and owner-operators. My focus is profitability, cash flow, & strategy. Ultimately, it’s cash flow that drives value. I’m looking for a handful of clients to work with.

I sent Mike a text about a duplex on June 30th. Got outbid. Then it was back in play. Today we closed.

I’m feeling lots better this morning. I appreciate everyone that reached out. It’s always just one day at a time. One of these days I’m going to see a million faces and recognize every one.

It amazes me how many people get on @AcquiringMinds_ after they’ve completed a transaction and don’t understand that sales growth is a use of cash. Also, always get a line of credit when completing a buyout.

Henry Kravis started doing "SMB" buyout's when he was at Bear Sterns, buying Boren Clay Products for $18MM in 1974 in Greensboro, NC. Merchants of Debt--still the best book on early Private Equity.

I built a statement of cash flows by hand today for the first time in a very long time, and it was actually sort of fun.

Just because someone has a lot of followers doesn’t mean that they know what they’re talking about.

It’s really easy to tell people to reach out, it’s really hard to check in on people, it’s even harder to press on them on how they’re really doing.

I keep coming back to these slides from @BillDA at @MainStSummit. People love to quote revenue metrics. It’s also important to understand if you have a balance sheet issue or income statement issue.

In the words of @fortworthchris, I need to ask for customers. Looking to add a few more business owners to work with in 2025. Primary around building profitability targets, working capital needs, and cash flow forecasting. DMs are open.

In 2005, I didn’t know a thing about accounting and finance. I love to get back to my high school and chat with the current students.

@DerekKuns Andre Meyer used to do deals with a pencil and a legal pad. Finance is way more than modeling.

This is my heuristic for a private deal: Ask the sponsor what the tax adjusted cap rate is and if they don't know, you shouldn't do the deal. - @PinkPoloShorts.

If you’re interested in buying a business, you need to listen to this. The wildest story I’ve heard in a while.
New episode!. - Business Collapse After Going All-In -. Justin Willess liquidated his 401k to buy a $8.5m construction business. He lost the business and may lose his house.

I was really skeptical of listening to this, but this episode is phenomenal. I also think it goes back to Josh Kushner: If you don’t tell your own story, someone else will tell it for you.
If you want to know how to talk about your company—its product launches, in a crisis, or any other time—you call @lulumeservey. Sadly, her client roster is full. But, she publishes amazing writing on “going direct” that we can all use, and has share lots of her ideas here. Enjoy!

Almost everything positive in my life is simply from choosing to show up, and inviting people along the way!. @RandBusiness @Nick_Keesee @shirkeyd @SumeetChhawri.
Last night’s Detroit event is a case study. Of How free fun events can result in real value. How to make something out of nothing. Here’s 3 interesting things that happened last night. —. 1. I met a guy looking to invest in searchers who are acquiring manufacturing companies.

Just got back into Oxford. I immediately head for Krishna. There is a professor here, with probably 6 students. They’re discussing Lewis’s 4 loves, with a focus on Agape. Sometimes I really miss being in a college town. @miamiuniversity.

Finished most of this today and Cyan continues to be one of the most fascinating people I’ve listened to. Are you awake, or are you going through the motions?.

I'm a big fan of raising prices--but my barber is trying to raise prices by 33% year-over-year. He's about to get a lesson in substitutes.
