Hourly Confidential One-On-One Coaching and Guidance: $250
We’ve all been there. We wake up worried at 2 a.m. We’ve been rethinking the coming up big decision. Go? No-go? We’ve run it by people we trust. And yet . . .
I wish I would have gotten a second opinion decades ago when I bought the right business the wrong ways: My worst investment ever.
Instead, the second opinion arrived shortly after closing my deal. From the lawyer handling my litigation against the dishonest seller.
Since then, I’ve been a big fan of second opinions. Investing hundreds of dollars; so as not to risk tens of thousands of dollars trying to pick up the pieces.
2nd Opinions for Buyers and Sellers of Businesses
It’s my most-popular offering—and it’s easy to see why.
It minimizes your cost and risk while maximizing leverage when finding and buying the right businesses the right ways. Or while you’re preparing to offer your SMB for sale; getting the inside scoop on what buyers are going to do with you.
For potential buyers: Do you have the capabilities and commitment to convince brokers and sellers that you are their first choice among competing buyers? My second opinion could be a way to go because you’re never committed to more than a small investment. Anytime you’re not getting value, you simply stop. Little, if any, of your money left on the table. Which is a big risk with any kind of advisor, isn’t it?
For owners planning to sell: Work from the detailed playbook in use by the most successful buyers. Learn to spot and avoid the tire-kickers; minimally share your confidential information with the most qualified and motivated buyers. (I’m not a business broker, but I can show you how to get the best from them.)
Here’s how it works: My clients start by using free, professional-grade tools (previously only accessible by paying expensive professionals). You, instead of paying me—or anyone—research ideas; get answers to questions; and front-run your due diligence. About anything pertaining to buying or selling small or midsize businesses.

Sometimes we validate findings.
-
Sometimes we adjust.
-
Sometimes we pivot.
And then, you come back to me (or another resource) if you need another second opinion.
The result?
✅ Dramatically reduce time-lags and professional fees (legal, financial, accounting).
✅ Sharper usage of your advisors and evaluation of potential deals.
✅ Safer, smarter acquisitions or sales of SMBs.
It’s normal for searchers and potential sellers to have their plans disrupted, especially for buyers needing to protect their employment while trying to complete deals.
Using my S.O.S. enables buyers and sellers to keep the ball in motion, calling time-outs, as necessary.
Order a Zoom Meeting
Bonus! Invest in a 1-hour private Zoom Meeting, and then you will see how to have free access to numerous recordings of group events where the focus is on actionable deliverables, and not cohort chatter and anecdotal stories.
