  • From multiple business failures to multi-million dealmaker
    Jun 28 2024

    In this week’s episode of the Business Buying Strategies podcast, we hear from Mastermind client Adam, who overcame a string of business failures to build a £16 million empire.

    In this inspiring interview hosted by Jonathan Jay, Adam shares his story of struggling to grow multiple start-ups before he discovered a better way to build the business he wanted – acquisition.

    Adam is honest and open about his limiting beliefs and reveals why being part of the Mastermind group was key to his success. Being in the room with experienced business buyers and dealmakers going through the same challenges he was facing helped shift his limiting beliefs and start approaching bigger businesses.

    If you want to feel inspired and motivated on your business buying journey, listen to Adam’s story today.

    Listen and discover…

    • How Adam navigated multiple business failures to build a business empire worth £16 million

    • Why playing to your strengths (and outsourcing everything else) is the fastest route to success

    • How being part of Mastermind helped him conquer the limiting beliefs and start targeting bigger businesses

    • The painful lesson learnt by Adam from buying a business that was just too small (a bigger business actually demands less of your time)
