6 Simple Businesses to Buy that [Almost] Never Fail

🔍 Problem: Why do 90% of Businesses FAIL?

 

• 90% of Businesses FAIL because people want to buy a sexy business with bad economics (think Restaurant, Bar, Food Truck, Gym).
• Or they overpay for a good one that is grossly overpriced (Think Car wash, Laundromat, vending machines) because people already KNOW it’s a great business model.
• Return on Equity is inversely correlated with how sexy a business is. (Meaning → the sexier the business, the more competition and the lower your profits.)
•  

💡 Solution (How can I avoid failing?)

 

• Here’s your secret weapon: Find a business that’s boring on the surface, but ridiculously profitable when you break it down.
• There are obscenely profitable local business models out there with mediocre operators. - It all depends on the business model.
• The key is to discover those under-the-radar businesses that are printing money and that the world hasn’t caught onto yet.
• There are dozens of them, and I’m about to show you where to find them — plus how to negotiate your ass off to get them for an insanely good price

🏁 The 6 Most Profitable Business Models to Buy

 

1. The Rental Business - Buy inventory once, rent it out over and over.

 

Think Surfboard rental, Wedding rentals, The Porta Potty business, or renting out bounce houses for neighborhood birthday parties.

These businesses are almost all profit.

 

2. Home Service Business - High-cost, High-margin services are best. ****

 

Think new roofs (you don’t have to be the guy installing it), stump grinding, gutter cleaning or tree trimming

Simple. Lucrative. Minimal competition.

These businesses PRINT money if you get your sales process and operations simplified.

 

3. Automated Businesses - Low Payroll, Low Time Needed

 

ATMs, Vending Machines, Car Washes, and Laundromats.

Low Payroll, high return on your time. Plus, you’ll make money while you’re on vacation.

4. Content Systems - Zero Marginal Cost of Replication. Build Once, Sell to Millions

 

Think writing a Book, Making Amazing YouTube Videos, Building Online Courses or buying the rights to courses, books or Youtube channels.

You must provide insanely high value for these to work!

 

5. Software Systems - Build Once, Sell Over and Over

 

Insanely high margins and MANY small software companies are available for purchase.

Most developers aren’t great at marketing and selling so they build something great that just needs a little TLC.

 

6. Human Resource Systems - High-Ticket, High Margin

 

Things like consulting, the agency model, SEO agencies, and marketing agencies.

The worst millionaire business to run.

A lot of headaches, but the money’s good. Proceed with caution.

• Teaching what you know (Adding a course on coursera or building your own course hub on thinkific)

  We had an ebook for the Float place I owned that made us about $30,000/year. We wrote it in 1 week and spent about 3 days building the website. (Granted we already had traffic)

  We currently own a popcorn course that does about 12k/year that we launched in a month and do ZERO work on.

🔮 How the Hell Do You Keep Getting These Deals???

 

That’s what my lawyer said when I showed him the details of yet another business purchase I needed him to draft a contract for.

I couldn’t help but laugh. This one was insane, even by my standards.

I was buying the second-largest Gourmet Popcorn chain in the country — 17 stores across 6 countries — for just $5,600.

No, that’s not a typo. I paid less for this business than most people pay for a used car.

How?

 

I got obsessed with Negotiation.

And I’m not talking about the typical “let’s knock a couple hundred bucks off” kind of negotiation. I’m talking about the EXACT framework used by FBI to get hostages released.

 

Being great at negotiating pays more per minute than any other skill on earth.

Most people get excited about buying businesses. They dream of the passive income, the $800K a year on autopilot, the freedom to work when they want. But here’s the truth: the real money is made when you buy.

Most entrepreneurs miss the most important step: the buying process itself. They skip right to the dream, without understanding how much money they’re leaving on the table by not negotiating effectively.

I didn’t just get lucky. I mastered negotiation. I got 97% off the list price of a business that should’ve been worth millions. And now, I’m going to show you how.

 

Take 10 minutes to read the full story and learn the negotiation techniques that can save you hundreds of thousands on your next business purchase.

I’m living proof this stuff works.
