For once, useful content and network There are so many courses out there for entrepreneurs looking to buy their first business. 99% of it is useless fluff. Sam's bootcamp is 100% granular, practical advice that will materially help you get from thinking about searching to executing your first deal. Combine that with a deal team that is first class and a cohort of great participants and you have a few days of excellent investment in your journey to business owner. Highly recommended.

The ETA SMB Course to attend Excellent framework of content provided by arguably some of the best in the ETA (self-funded searcher) world. I have paid for and been through a couple of “mastermind” courses but this is the one-stop shop for one who seriously aspires to acquire and operate a legacy business.

Very practical workshop in a small group setting The workshop covered a very practical step by step process to buy a business. I particularly liked the small group setting (our cohort was 20 searchers) as it felt very interactive. We had several business owners who recently acquired companies came to speak and some of them are past attendees of this bootcamp.

Awesome experience in Tampa Awesome experience in Tampa! I had done a lot of research and wasn't sure how much more I would learn... then I probably doubled my knowledge base in 3 days! The cohort style is awesome and I'm in close touch with several of my friends from camp regularly, and also run important issues by the group any time I'm uncertain with something. The deal team connections are huge and have added confidence for me that I can succeed on this path. It was great to learn both how to raise capital, but also that I can be an investor in other searchers deals too. Can't say enough good things and while there are certainly other hucksters online selling questionable courses - this one is definitely NOT that, and is completely worth the $$.

Will get your search started I attended the SMB Boot Camp and had a great experience. It's a no-fluff workshop on how to run a self-funded search. The content is excellent and transparent, plus deal advisors and former searchers present case studies. I left with everything I needed to run a search. The cost easily pays for itself in saved time.
