Did some website renovation work today, including adding a few plugins in and changing some wording… even found an eBook to add to sell, which appears to be right on the money for what I’m looking for. Phew! Thought I’d end up having to writing it myself. Will get that added and see what happens. It’s all test and measure, lets face it!
Spoke to website owners again this week. They want to sell but when I give them an indicative price range, they don’t like what they hear especially if what they want is what they’ve spent on the website. And that’s because their online business is not profitable. And therefore not worth what they think it should be. And they get frustrated that I can’t see the “potential” in what they’ve built.
Bottomline is… whether I can see the potential or not, doesn’t matter! A buyer will not to pay for it if you haven’t been able to make it work yourself.
So get cracking…

Not much happening on the Business Sale front, as most businesses comes to terms with the end of financial year. Suspect though that the phone will start ringing again soon, as the realisation of the 2013-14 numbers comes to bear.
There’s been an upsurge in Sellability Score questionnaire completion, perhaps an indicator of what’s to come…
Especially given that more and more Buyers are making themselves known…

Spent 3 days learning further about all things Buy and Sell Websites and wasn’t it worth it! Sometimes you just have to DO to work it out and DOing I am!
There are so many things happening in the Buy and Sell Website space, it’s hard not to try and play in them all at once. So I spent the 4th day locked away, plotting and scheming in terms of how my revived learning impacts on my daily activities from now on. A most rewarding exercise it was too.
So what does that mean?
I am definitely keen to talk to anyone who has a website to sell, or thinks they might like to sell in the not too distant future, because the range of options I now have to assist them are deep and doable. Come and talk to me…

Spending the next 3 days learning further about all things Buy and Sell Websites. Looking forward to sharpening my saw on the skill set I am nurturing and developing and enjoying. Sometimes you just have to DO to work it out!
Fortunately, during your time as a Broker, you come across people who get it!
By that I mean, there is no education component required in order for them to understand what you’re revealing.
And what a pleasure that is when it happens…
Had a meeting on Wednesday with a well-established Business Advisor. As usual, there was a few things on the agenda, one of which was the introduction of a business we have for sale. The reason was because I had seen this particular chap present a keynote recently and what he spoke of is how we want to sell this business. Hence the invitation for a coffee and a chat.
Much to our collective delight, he could see what we are trying to achieve and on first glance, is prepared to work in with us to get a mutually beneficial outcome. Happy days!

Assisting colleague by introducing the Home Help interested party to their client, now that the authority has been signed. As it turns out, the offer out of nowhere was being used as their first step in the process. Unfortunately for the prospective buyer, it’s way off the mark and that’s because they listened to their accountant who clearly doesn’t understand the business buying/selling process. They’ve been invited in to discuss the issue but so far no response.

Started some of the renovation of the transferred website this week, with more to come. Best way is to step this out anyway, given I want to know what works and what doesn’t. I won’t know that if I do it all at once will I? Yes, I do need to double the numbers first off, to make it worth continuing the process, but systematically and consistently is the way to go.
Are you 45-55 years of age and realising there is no Job future for you?
Well, not at the level you want at least?
It’s becoming more apparent that once you’ve been retrenched from the high-paying gig, any time after 45, it’s not easy to replace it. Given Tony and Joe want us working until 70, that means there is approx. 20 years of earning you’re not participating in, unless you come up with a better plan.
The answer to that plan, I believe, is to buy a business.
Not only are you not waiting 2 years to make money (which is, on average, how long it takes to make money if you started your own thing) but you are also buying into revenue. Even if you did nothing else but maintain status quo, enabling you to understand the business from the inside, you’re creating revenue and keeping some of it. And if you did that for say 6 months, before you start tinkering with it, you would then be in a position to have locked the revenue in whilst getting ready to increase it with initiatives you’re ready to roll out.
You just can’t do so with any other medium…
