Easter Jesus vs. Christmas Jesus- Small Business Style


Hoppy Easter!

Every time Easter comes along and people start talking about the resurrection of Christ I can’t help but remember the hilarious dinner scene in the movie Talladega Nights. 

Actors Will Ferrell and John Reilly get into a discussion about which Jesus they like better.  The Easter Jesus or the Baby Christmas Jesus.

So, If you happen to prefer Christmas over Easter, maybe you’d enjoy the last two years Christmas Small Biz videos while you spend time with family and friends over the long weekend.

Cheers

What's better for an absent owner? A C-Store or a Restaurant? How To Buy a Business



This viewer has one simple question-

David, if I have to choose between a restaurant and a convenience store to buy as an absentee owner, which one makes the most sense?

Well, for this one we’re going to have to take a look at what the Big Boys do and try to understand why.

How does one go from selling real estate to selling businesses?


This week I take a few moments to address the questions of a Real Estate Broker who is thinking about offering Business Brokerage services.

I’ve made videos before about how Realtors are NOT Business Brokers and how different businesses are from buildings.

This week I discuss the differences in how these two types of intermediaries do business and approach things.

This viewer is facing a challenge if he wants to do things correctly as the culture and methods of these two types of business are very different.




Also, watch this older video about real estate agents selling businesses and something called the Dunning-Kruger effect. (sounds spooky, right?) Watch: https://youtu.be/s9HkiHiiEB0

Money for Nothing and Chicks for Free- Dire Strait Business Buyer Mindset Issues


Why are some people writing me to ask about finding lenders who will lend them ALL the money they need to buy a business?

Why can’t I just roll over and agree that it’s perfectly normal for a broke person with no money to magically be able to go buy a business worth hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars all with borrowed money?

This week I made a video about being realistic in the process of buying a business and how some people will find themselves victims because of their mindset.

I take time out from my vacation to address the unwavering beliefs of one viewer. Watch: https://youtu.be/XV9cHTvj0dA

Why you should be concerned about whether your goodwill is personal or not. -How to Buy/Sell a Business


What’s the difference between business goodwill, personal goodwill and the accounting term goodwill?

As a buyer of a business, you want to be sure the goodwill is going to stay with the business that you’re buying.

This week’s question comes from a viewer who bought a business and then lost a big customer because the goodwill didn’t transfer.  What does that mean?

As a business owner, why does it matter if you possess the goodwill or if your business does?  It can make a huge difference when it comes time to sell the business or you try to grow.

Listen in as I discuss the difference between business and personal goodwill and what things you can do to either transfer it or move it. Watch: https://youtu.be/DEQAE2DbEQU
