In 2007, after 17 years at Ford Motors, I handed in my resignation. My parents thought I’d lost my mind.

“Are you crazy? Do you even know what you're doing?"

To be honest, not entirely. 

But I knew one thing:

I wanted to own a business. I purchased several businesses and enjoyed the process so much I eventually started my own M&A firm. I was excited to finally control my own destiny.

But what I didn't realize was how much being an entrepreneur would cost.

There was a period of time when dinners were mac and cheese and hot dogs because I had no idea when the next deal would come through.

I was stressed out of my mind.

Thankfully, those days are long behind me.

But every now and then, I look back and ask myself:

“Was the reward worth the risk?”

The answer is always… 100%

Today, I've helped more than 360 business owners achieve over $493 million in business sales.

On paper, I help people buy and sell businesses.

But what I'm really doing is helping people take control of their own destiny. Just like I did.

That's why, even though I don't financially need to work anymore, I still wake up excited to go to work every morning.

Because somewhere, a business owner is about to change the course of their life. 

And I get to play a small part in making that happen.
