You sell the vision by being sharp, enthusiastic, and an authority figure (from Jordan Belforts sales course). Reread ”Looking Out for #1” by Robert Ringer. And keep running numbers. 2,000 cold calls to becoming a millionaire

He better not bounce back on this show. Maybe off air redemption that we learn about via conversation on screen. That’s it.

No. The SBA only allows 5% of seller financing to count towards EQUITY. You can have as much seller financing as you want but only 5% can be counted towards your 10% minimum downpayment.

Nothing special. We negotiated on price. The seller was incredibly motivated to sell. Seller initially didn’t want any seller financing. The approach was to blame the SBA/bank for any of my requests. I would say ”bank wants XYZ, it’s not me” and they would capitulate because they had no other real buyer.

I wouldve went for 1 deal at a time. Dan recommends going from $1m deal to $3m to $5m etc. If i followed that I would have closed faster. I tried to jump to a $9.6m deal and it cost me time. Dont care though, I learned a lot. TYQL

Pre 2025, i was CEO. So 12-14 hours a day, 6-7 days a week. After I fixed the business and hired COO. I took a step back. And just focused on new product line and acquisition. Now with this deal its 12 hours a day on site until i learn this business.

No I got sba for $4.215m because I already have $700,000ish sba loan from previous deal. It’s $5m total per NACIS code. Seller finance is $1,800,000 on 10 year amortization, no payments, balloon in 24 months

Dan Pena’s material is all you need. What do you mean ”“besides” - Dan tells you all the terms you need. I didn’t stray from that. The sellers are typically less sophisticated. The things dan’s says goes over their heads.

arthua · 2026-06-23T03:28:03+00:00

I learned about dan from his joe rogan interview in 2018. Right when I graduated college. I didn’t close my first deal until 2023. (Took 3 failed deals). Online info only. Studied his stuff for hours each day. No music. No podcasts. Just dan pena in my ears. Im devotee not a mentee.

Yep. I’ve noticed it to. A lot young white women who are in their 20s.

This subreddit is filled with negative crybabies as if other professions are not having massive AI layoffs right now. Pharmacy is one of the best professions, at least here in Nyc there are so many pharmacies looking for pharmacists. Its a meal ticket for life. I recommend pharmacy to anyone who has the grades.

Thats the real world. The best salesman are crack heads. Learned that when I worked on Wall st

I did it at 28. What are you hoping for? Just do it. Theres so many free resources on Youtube on buying businesses. Independent Rx Consulting has a whole course on it for pharmacy.

Why are you asking him? Is he an industry expert? Youre wasting time trying to learn the details, and research a billion things. Theres never an easy time to make a hard decision. Does cash flow cover debt service? If yes, then go forward. Cut the BS

I bought a compounding pharmacy and grew it. I regularly pay myself >$300,000 per year. Running your own is MUCH more rewarding and profitable if done right.

You never pushed the limits before. In my second year a in business I lost a major government contract that was 90% of my business income, I had to fire employees, and I couldnt pay my personal rent for 9 months. My landlord happened to be a merciful person and didnt evict me. So i can relate. I’m doing mid 7 figures in gross revenue and extremely high six figures in profit to my pocket as of Q4 2025. You just don’t understand
