What We Talked About:
I sat down with Sean Smith from SMB Investor Network and we broke down exactly how first-time buyers can actually raise equity to buy a small business — without the usual myths, BS, or dead-end advice.

We covered:

  • What investors really want to see before they write a check
  • Why having your own skin in the game still matters (sorry, no magic button)
  • How to spot businesses that actually attract investors — and which ones scare them off
  • The biggest red flags investors look for (and how to avoid them)
  • Why SMB investing is exploding right now — and how you can ride the wave
  • How to get your deal in front of the right investors (instead of getting ghosted)
  • How to position yourself so investors want to work with you

If you’re serious about raising money to buy a business — and you’re tired of bad advice — you’ll want to hear this.
