What about that new guru I saw advertising online?
What about Roland Frasier?
I received this email from Business
Buyer Advantage student T.
-------------
Do you know Roland Frazier?
I took Roland’s $55 course on how to buy
business.
He has a lot of knowledge and I learned
a lot.
He is always claiming that we can
buy businesses for free.
After that, I was invited by him for his
other course that is worth over $2000.
However, I watched your videos and found
that Roland’s course misses a lot of important stuff.
First, he is not very strong in
accounting like you.
Also, I feel that he always talks about
the bright side, but he never talks about any risk that we need to beware.
I was really impressed by your YouTube
videos.
There is a video to talk about double counting income trap.
I’m currently discussing with the broker
for the burger shop acquisition but I actually encounter the exact same
situation.
T.
------------
Do I know Roland Frasier?
Sure, he pops up every 30 seconds on my
Instagram feed claiming to help people buy a business in 5 days or something.
He’s just the latest in a succession of no
money down gurus trying to advertise that the solution to people’s money
problems is buying a business.
Advertising to convince people to buy an
online course makes sense.
He’s trying to grow his market by selling
to people who are looking for a quick fix.
But, these people rarely ever do a deal.
If they do find any deals, they often can’t
get the levels of financing the guru promised.
When they ask for help from the guru, they
get ghosted.
That’s when these people become Zero-Down
Guru Refugees and go wandering the internet for help.
True business buyers are internally
motivated.
They decide they want to be an entrepreneur
via acquisition and then they go looking for information.
It’s why you don’t see me running paid ads
for Business Buyer Advantage.
People who become interested in the topic
can find me easily enough, just like T.
I do feel bad for people who get sucked
into these programs though.
It’s why it’s so important for all of you
to share videos from my channel and hit the ‘like’ button when you watch them.
That’s how the YouTube algorithm knows the
content is good.
You have no idea how good it feels whenever
I go check out a video from one of these guys and see my own videos as
suggested content on the side.
This is the easiest favour you’ll ever do
for a fellow person.
Help them become aware before they become a
Zero-Down Guru Refugee.
Cheers

David buys life insurance and why it makes sense for other entrepreneurs with Mark Willis
Creating
your own financial resiliency.
Mark Willis, host of Not Your Average
Financial Podcast, comes back to discuss whole life insurance policies again.
I was so intrigued last time that I went
out to learn more and have decided to buy a policy myself.
This is a liquidity tool that any
entrepreneur can leverage for greater success.
But how can it be all unicorns and
rainbows?
How can these things keep going up with
all the financial crisis all around?
I put the tough questions to Mark…
