About this listen
Entrepreneurs have a problem: startups. Almost all startups either fail or never truly reach a sustainable size. Despite the popularity of entrepreneurship, we haven't engineered a better way to start...until now. What if you could skip the startup phase and generate profitable revenue on day one? In Buy Then Build, acquisition entrepreneur Walker Deibel shows you how to begin with a sustainable, profitable company and grow from there.
You'll learn how to: buy an existing company rather than starting from scratch; use ownership as a path to financial independence; spend a fraction of the time raising capital; find great brokers, generate your own "deal flow", and see new listings early; uncover the best opportunities and biggest risks of any company; navigate the acquisition process; become a successful acquisition entrepreneur; and more.
Buy Then Build is your guide to outsmart the startup game, live the entrepreneurial lifestyle, and reap the financial rewards of ownership now.

Pretty decent
Good book, opens up the concept of buying a business at a very visceral level. Buying a business is not all rainbows and unicorns but it's not a nightmare either. This book really explores the practical aspects of buying a business well.

Good initial book into this topic
The book is a great starting point to the broad topic of acquisition entrepreneurship. The author doesn't spend too much time on any one subject but he raises good points and provides exercises/ recommends further readings. Parts of it, especially the financial/accounting topics are very simplified.

Great book for any entrepreneur
Full of useful and insightful information around purchasing an already established business rather than starting one from scratch.

Didn't enjoy it, but finished it anyway.
At some point early on they lost my faith in the material, I couldn't get past the fact, that the narrator made an error in reading aloud one of the authors formulas by reading 2-3, two to three, as two minus three, and all I could think about was this book is just a product promoting a website, and, that the author didn't bother, or didn't care enough to proof the narrators work. I was left wondering if there were other errors I missed because I was not familiar enough with the material, maybe there was actually good information in the book, but they lost me.
