KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE
- If you look at any niche category, the longer you're in the game, the bigger your email list is, the more brand search you have, and the better domain authority you have.
- People should be leaning into demand creation and customer acquisition if their economics work.
- If you are motivated to sell, a good buyer will pay a good price for your business.
- Prices will depend on the quality of your business.
- Growing through acquisitions once you have a platform is a great way to scale your company.
- If you’re worried about your business, start sooner. The longer you wait, the harder it gets, and the less favorable that transaction probably is going to be.
- Get a coach, get somebody outside of yourself because you may not recognize some things when you make decisions.
