Manage episode 426180334 series 2699532
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.
