Показать описание
Regular watchers of Acquiring Minds know that hiring an operator for a business you bought is easier said than done. Operating itself is hard — you hear that from my guests all the time. So finding someone capable to do it on your behalf, who is aligned with you and as motivated as you, is harder still. But today's guest Landon Mance is doing it with a $1.7m tree business he bought earlier this year. Landon's approach is a template for how you might find an operator, bring them into your deal as a partner, and work alongside them through the transition & beyond.

46:44 200k is still a substantial income compared to the average American. You can’t downplay that.
