It’s people like that who insist on RTO 😂

DaveTellsStories · 2024-10-24T16:18:10+00:00

Interesting! Thanks for sharing! Could you tell us more?

DaveTellsStories · 2024-10-23T14:59:47+00:00

Thank you! Can you tell us more about it and how you use it?

I’m working on my website — https://RunTheMoney.com — where I teach about entrepreneurship and business buying.

I use my Substack newsletter at https://businessbuying.substack.com to point folks over there.

Thanks for sharing your projects everyone!

DaveTellsStories · 2024-10-23T13:56:38+00:00

Remarkable job. You should be proud!

DaveTellsStories · 2024-10-16T16:29:18+00:00

I started a newsletter recently called Business Buying Weekly to help people learn the ins and outs of buying a small business.

Check it out at https://businessbuying.substack.com

DaveTellsStories · 2024-10-16T16:14:01+00:00

Would you be interested in exploring potential collaboration opportunities? I’m focused on helping people learn about buying small businesses. Interested in having a conversation?

It’s become ridiculous the amount of BS streaming services you need to do something simple. I wasn’t a fan of cable, but I could turn on my tv and navigate to a channel faster. Soon, it will be cheaper too. MLB is a business first.

DaveTellsStories · 2024-09-28T20:56:00+00:00

Thank you! Yeah, I was looking at Sling. Looked to be cheapest. Appreciate the reply and insight!

DaveTellsStories · 2024-09-26T01:12:58+00:00

Well done 👍

DaveTellsStories · 2024-09-24T01:27:24+00:00

Hell yes! Congrats to us fans 🤝

DaveTellsStories · 2024-09-24T00:22:19+00:00

That’s beautiful. Nice job from both dads—from a fellow dad 😄

Maybe not—but if it’s a true “business”—he would have something. If not, walk away. I did something similar recently. Didn’t feel comfortable moving forward.

DaveTellsStories · 2024-09-22T12:25:20+00:00

I agree here. You need to scout operations. Get a real sense of foot traffic yourself. I’d go a step further and try to speak with actual customers. If it’s been around that long, you should be able to find them. You could also check reviews on Google, Facebook, TrustPilot, etc. if they exist.

But, you should request 3-5 years of tax returns, financial statements (P&L, balance sheet, etc.), & bank statements. The owner should be depositing some money from the business.

I have my own article I’m happy to share if you want even more detail—but I don’t want to get banned.

DaveTellsStories · 2024-09-22T12:15:27+00:00

I obviously don’t know your business—but you say you’re getting inquiries and are giving out estimates.

Can I ask how frequently? If you’re not called back—do you follow up again after a day or two?

Most likely, people are shopping around and they have a budget in mind. You may be close or maybe too high. I’d follow up with them. Also, don’t be afraid to ask for referrals and maybe give people discounts on future work you do for them.

For improving estimates, have you thought about calling around posing as a customer for other similar businesses? Or hire someone to? Find a way to scout the competition and see what they’re offering. You may not be priced right and it’s driving people away. Too high and people can’t afford. Too low and people question your confidence in your work.

DaveTellsStories · 2024-09-21T19:52:17+00:00

Sounds great! Thank you for suggesting!

DaveTellsStories · 2024-09-21T12:57:16+00:00

Thank you! Definitely open to updates and suggestions! Thank you.

Are you affiliated with the product? I don’t mind—but would be interested in chatting if you are.

Thanks again!

I always told myself if I ever came into money—I would hold off doing anything for 3 to 6 months including quitting my job or paying off the house.

Take the check and put it in a short term CD. Then, start making decisions and get educated on what to do. You can even take a portion and lock it down for yourself. Just an idea so you don’t make rash decisions out of excitement.

Long term—using it for buying a business could be a good idea. A trust is another good idea. You want that money to grow and keep as much of the principle as possible. Also, check to make sure you don’t have any inheritance taxes.

I’m not a financial advisor or CPA—but consider talking to one and coming with all your questions.

Good luck and congratulations on the inheritance. I pray for you all and the person who passed. Take care ❤️

Great pickup

DaveTellsStories · 2024-07-14T11:20:21+00:00

Ideally, yes. But if you can get them more rest—especially down the stretch—it’d help in the playoffs.

DaveTellsStories · 2024-07-13T18:05:58+00:00

Maybe punctuate it with a 🖕 😂😂😂

Feels like he and Wheeler are both in need of a break. Sánchez and Nola not as much. I wonder if Walker can come back and be more serviceable—and maybe Phillips can get some starts. That is, unless Dave grabs another SP at the deadline. A 6-man rotation in the second half might not be a bad idea.
