Our school system has taught us if you want to be an entrepreneur then you need to start from scratch.
You’re constantly told to start a business, do a side hustle, or launch that e-commerce store.
But I think that’s the WRONG approach to starting a business.
Because starting a business suffers from what I call the “NO” problem.
You have…
NO product-market fit.
NO financial capital.
NO employees.
NO customers.
NO products.
NO relationships.
And THAT’s why 90% of businesses fail.
That’s why starting a business from scratch is the hard way to become an entrepreneur.
There’s too much RISK!
But what if you could turn all those NOs into YES’s?
By BUYING a business.
That’s what my book Business Buying Secrets helps you do!
I’ve worked on transactions worth more than $48 billion, which includes over 300 deals in 17 countries, including mergers, acquisitions, and private equity.
In my 29-year career, I have analyzed thousands of companies, big and small, across nearly every business sector, including technology, pharmaceuticals, transport and logistics, engineering, manufacturing, aerospace, consumer goods and services, business services, retail, professional services, finance, packaging, and clothing.
Point blank, I don’t think there is anyone out there today that lives, eats, and breathes buying businesses as much as me.
And I’ve condensed 29 years of my business buying experience in my new book called Business Buying Secrets.
Inside of Business Buying Secrets, I will share with you 20+ secrets to help you buy a small business using other people’s money or as it’s known in Wall Street – a leveraged buyout.
Here’s a preview at what you’ll discover inside of your digital copy of this new book:
- Secret #1: Before you start contacting business owners looking to sell their business identify the type of seller you are talking to. (There are 3 types sellers and #1 is my favorite for structuring a Leveraged Buyout).

- Secret #15: The “Reverse Pyramid” Origination Funnel I use to filter all my potential business buying deals in order to find the right business for me to buy. (Plus I’ll share on page 60, 6 ways to generate potentials deals, but my favorite is #3 and I’ll tell you why.)

“I have always studied acquisitions as I always saw it being the type of business I wanted to do. Coming across Carl’s program I finally was able to see the action steps to take so I could do it for myself without having to get a MBA. Even speaking with some friends who had MBA’s I was able to show them things they weren’t taught. If you dream of being a business owner and want to invest in a blueprint that will take you A-Z this would be it. I couldn’t thank Carl more for giving me the keys to change my life and give myself the freedom to make money no matter where I go in the world.”
— Nathan E., United States
“Working with Carl is amazing. His ability to cut through the noise of acquiring a business is masterful! I have enjoyed learning from him and adding businesses to my portfolio by three businesses in 2018 alone. 2019 is going to be even better!”
— Jonathon B., Panama City, FL
— Dr. Jeremy P., London, U.K.
“Carl continues to be an invaluable asset and mentor in our efforts to grow our business through corporate acquisitions. He has worked hand in hand with my business development manager to source potential candidates for acquisition, as well as working with my team to sift and sort through the potential candidates, to leading discussions with sellers and finally helping us to structure offer sheets and manage the resultant negotiations. You often hear it said that ‘Those that can, do. And those that can’t, teach’. Well Carl is the rare exception to this rule as he can definitely ‘do’ and ‘teach’.”
— Peter B., Ontario, Canada
