If you are producing $x Profit and you are in Y cities you have a formula of $X/Y per city, then it stands to reason you can produce straight line growth if you expand to a multiple of Y cities.
The reality is it is usually never straight line.
But there are ways to make it more of a formula.
Every business is different but there are usually several layers that are consistent to duplicate.
i.e. Gathering Intel -> Scouting Locations -> Setting up Distribution Channels -> Finding Talent -> Setting Up Advertising
The more of a formula you can make it, the closer it will get to the $X/Y Value of the Additional City. It may be greater if it’s a more dense area, or it may be less. But the way to make it be closer to $X/Y so you can keep expanding as opposed to $.2x/Y is establishing a more concrete formula of what works well and trimming the fat and running as lean an operation on cutting bloat, and giving the freedom on the fundamentals that are necessary to have enough wings.
Would love to help you understand this formula more closely and helping you expand while maintaining close to straight line or higher as possible.

The more introductions you make in business, the more dots tend to connect in the end.
The key is to not chalk up the conversation if it doesn’t result in something immediate as fruitless.
Many times you are on a sales call and the person is not interested or a fit for the current product or business opportunity at that moment. But many times they are a cog that fits in a machine down the road. You just need to keep an open avenue that the person will fit somewhere down the road if you keep the person in your rolodex and try to build it upon the future.

Business has ebbs and flows.
The most important thing to do is stay in business.
Each day that passes is a win if your doors are open.
Because you don’t know what golden opportunity today can bring.
If your doors are open you have the availability to do business.
And business is a long term game.
So what happens in year 1 may not be where the peak or pinnacle of your industry is.
You might not have the idea yet in year 3 that really takes off, or the person may not come around until Year 8, when the industry as a whole is more developed, or more technology hits the space.
While you can judge if something is going to be a waste of time early on if there’s limited traction (and opportunity cost presents itself elsewhere), you want to have projects or whole business concepts in its entirety shelved and ready to revisit if you can eliminate any carrying costs doing so, because your project may be ahead of its time. And you just need the industry or people within it to catch up to what you built.

Here is walking you through the steps of app development.
Step 1: Discovery
First, we understand the exact specifications and requirements of the app. You have provided us with much detail.
We just need the full psds as we only revived a pdf file from you.
Step 2: Mock-up Completion
Once we retrieve the psds, we will mock the app up to make sure the screen flow is proper. We will make sure all screens are proper and make sure all elements are accounted for.
Step 3: Initial Functionality Development
After we complete the designs, we develop the app for a clickable prototype by coding the major pillars of the functionality allowing all text functions and buttons to work as described.
Step 4: Database Creation
This phase is where we prep the app for more developed functionality. We need your hosting and website details in order to gain access. If you don’t have a domain name you should put some thought into what url you want. They are typically $12/yr where you shouldn’t have trouble finding a unique name that fits your business. We recommend a company like GoDaddy for most of our clients as the provider.
Step 5: Higher Level Functionality Development
After we complete the major part of the development, we dive into the finer details such as the complicated API development and make sure that all data such as usernames and passwords are being saved properly to your database.
Step 6: Revisionary Development and Testing
After we provide you videos to review and eventually a test build, you will be able to offer your feedback during the testing period. You will make sure the app is working glitch free and we will make any corrections time ensure the functionality is working properly and it is a smooth experience.
Phase 7: Live Store Upload
When the app is ready for upload, we will upload it live to the App Store and Google Play Store. We will prepare the proper screen graphics and descriptions that apple requires including the app icon. We work with apple to get the app approved.
If you want to work on an app together, reach out to us and we can consult on the process where we direct you with our web & app development division called Bonzai.
We look forward to building an amazing app together.

Part of a deal is going back and forth on negotiations.
It’s usually all about compromise.
A deal is about being fair to both parties.
Unless you have such a powerful product or service that people beg for it and it is a bit one sided.
Apple’s iphone used to be like this. They are selling gold and people will line up. Peter Luger’s steak. There’s little compromise here.
You sort of deal with waiting in line at the Genius bar for 2 hours or having a lesser than atmosphere while eating your steak.
But for the majority of business deals, you need to compromise. Give a little to get a little.
The more you can flex, the more your counterpart will tend to flex.
If you want help with negotiation strategies when doing a deal please reach out to us as your consultant.
However, always consult a legal professional for your actual written agreements.

How has HBO stayed relevant despite Netflix and Hulu and Amazon Video dominating?
One word. Quality.
“More is not better. Better is better.”
Wise words.
Quality trumps quantity.
Speed is a necessary component of this digital age, but what’s more powerful are really great pieces of content. Why? The next time you put something out, people flock.
This is why we love Christopher Nolan movies. Every Christopher Nolan movie has so much thought and detail to it. He doesn’t rush movies and put out flops. Whenever a Christopher Nolan movie is coming out, we get so excited and the hype can hardly be contained.
You want people to be absolutely stoked when they hear you putting out something new.
That only comes with excellent quality.
You can have a lot of content and a ton of web pages, but how is the quality? Do people want to consume the content you do put out?
Do people want to do business with you?
Focus on quality and pushing out the content you do have, because it will expand farther than trying to push out a bunch of subpar content.
Hire us to help you with your brand image.

You want to game plan and prep for the day to come the night before.
This is very helpful to get into a habit of focusing on your most important tasks.
The day is going to have some unexpected things happen.
Blocking out every hour works for some people and for many people it doesn’t.
But the most important part is to really make sure the most important tasks of the day get done.
And the way to hone in on that is the night before, by taking out some time to really focus on what you want to do the next day.
Make it a routine to go over this. Even if you’re in bed watching TV or talking with your spouse, just create a schedule or to do list in your phone of what you want to do the next day. Also, make a clear visual in your mind.
And the top of the list should be focusing on the real things that have to be done.
While creating to-do’s for the sake of to-do’s is helpful to jog ideas, what the purpose should fall back on should be revolved around the meat of what actually will move the needle in your business or profession or family life. Whatever needs attention. This takes time to really think about what’s most important. If you’re struggling to understand what will move the needle, then this requires some thought.
Action is the most important when it comes to business and you want to have sure-fire tasks that you know what to do.
Few things are harder in business than not knowing what to do next.
Your most important tasks of the day, should generally be done first.
If they are difficult tasks you can set aside time later in the day when you have more energy
Not everyone is a morning person. I get it.
You can do something light when you get up to get into the mode.
Maybe you like to walk the dog in the morning or answer some emails and texts on your phone or listen to music in the car.
The night before will really help you hone in on what the important tasks are and when you can squeeze them in.
Instead of watching TV or scrolling through Facebook just take 10 minutes to write down in your notes app or to do app you use what tomorrow looks like
Ideally this to do list should be synced to your computer or wherever you’ll see it often during the day or the next day.
If not, when you get to the office or your work desk you can transfer that night before list to your whiteboard or a notepad or somewhere more prominent
Generally you can have that second list more streamlined with just the raw bullet points of what needs to be done as opposed to every detail.
The goal of understanding what to do is less about a laundry list of things.
This is why some people refer to the 1 thing or the 3 hour work day.
I don’t buy into this philosophy generally. Outside of family time, I am generally spending nearly every waking hour working infused with breaks that give me enough energy.
Not to say I have it right. I probably could learn a thing or two about that, especially the focusing on the important thing aspect.
Regardless of the amount of time, the premise is important. Focus on making sure your main task and priority is taken care of.
Many times that I work, it’s new ideas or things that are trial and error. Sometimes you can get caught up in that behavior. You want all your tasks to lead to something and not for any tasks you do that you will look back as pointless. It might be hard to eliminate that altogether, but the premise is to make sure you’re getting the nut done and then the less important tasks done thereafter.
This way when you have to pull yourself away from work, you’re pulling yourself away from the not-so-important tasks.
See where the low hanging fruit is. Understand the best marketing tactics. Leverage a consultant who can help you see things from the outside, you are not seeing with tunnel vision. Bring on new life. It doesn’t have to be costly.
If you would like to hop on a call with us to go over things related to business, please schedule a time here. We do a one hour deep dive where we go over your needs as it relates to business expansion.

Episode 3 of 365 Series from Jaret Grossman – A daily Video Every Day
Many businesses that are the best businesses to buy are afterthought businesses.
You don’t really see the opportunity but it is massive and everywhere.
Where no one really has dominated it.
It just is something you kind of need and use every day or so but it’s just taken for granted who supplies it.
There are opportunities there.
The ceiling depends on how far you are willing to take it and work to win deals.
First, there’s a floor right out of the gate in almost all instances.
To build it beyond that kind of base level, it is a bit tougher.
They might be scrappy deals. You might have to win a contract by shaving price to a 15% profit margin, but the ceiling in general might be huge.
When acquiring businesses you might want to consider something that sells a consumer staple.
This is a business that many people don’t put much thought into.
It doesn’t have glamor and the glitz or the posh that many other businesses in tech or AI or EV or Machine Learning have but it can provide a great stable cash flowing business with opportunity to be lucrative if you grind out deals.
Buy a Business with us and let us narrow down the best ones here.
Getting a seller to agree to list with us as a business broker comes down to understanding the business.
We like to understand the revenue, the cash flow, the processes, the systems.
I.e inventory, lead generation, systems for admin and automation, payroll, marketing, where customers are generated, average order size, etc.
Our genius is being able to look at the business from a 30,000 ft view and position the data and the value.
The multiple a seller wants might be adequate. Other times it is lower than expected or they want more than what the market will pay.
A business is worth what someone will pay for it not what it’s actually worth.
We look to prepare materials that answer questions most buyers have.
If the asking price is a 7x multiple where businesses in that industry typically sell for a 3x multiple, that math can be meaningless or be met with challenges if there’s no flexibility.
When you try to sell a business on your own without representation you find out quickly that most buyers value a business on profit alone. This is not the whole picture of course. We position the business intricacies that show the true value.
We like to position the business to show that multiple to be a lot less than just looking at EBIDTA alone.
And with EBITDA the number can go up with add backs such as personal deductions run through the business and other line items we can find that would otherwise not be necessary to keep the business sustained. I.e inventory, reductions of payroll, reducing marketing spend.
There’s several ways to make the business appear more like what it’s worth than an EBITDA valuation alone.
We are generally able to get much higher sales prices for a seller than on their own because we have more leads and eyeballs come across which means a bigger buyer pool (it’s economics of supply and demand – we have supply of buyers), we have paperwork that generally increases value immediately (i.e. prospectuses, help with proper documentation to assist with prospectuses/CIM/LOI/purchase agreements/due diligence/etc., and we are able to negotiate better than a seller on many fronts because we a) have experience and b) won’t put our foot in our mouth with saying the wrong thing which many sellers do to buyers.
We look forward to working with you and listing your business for sale.

Sometimes two people have different philosophies in business.
Their questions will be surrounded around what their fear is.
The good answers will be surrounded by what the logic is around addressing those questions.
But you want to also focus on addressing the underlying concerns they have without stressing the fear driven scenarios.
In essence, you want to make the best impression of why there’s minimal chance of those fears coming to fruition without bringing light to it.
Focusing on the logical argument and decision making.
Having them refocus their decision making is sometimes important if they seem to be off the mark.
But it’s really mostly about providing logical conclusions as to why the positives outweigh the fears.
Sales is a game of moving someone from not knowing who you are and what you do to being curious and eventually realizing it solves something they lack, have a feeling of void, or need.
To do that you sometimes just need to show the product and that’s enough. A fancy car, a shirt, a cologne. They already know they need something and they’ve been indoctrinated.
For more complex sales that are sort of being foisted on them – products or services that they haven’t had their radar on previously – this is a different game. You need to expose some of their weaknesses or problems without making them feel inadequate – everyone has a different set of problems – this is just a solution to one particular set of problems. How does your product or solution fix it while making their life easy.
Many products are cumbersome or require effort to implement. Or make them switch or modify something. That pain quite often makes the problem more magnified not better and makes them think they’re better off staying where they are.
It has to be seamless.
Getting movement between people is recognizing there’s a middle ground where the deal is and one party might be in the circle of where the deal is and the other one is in mars
You need to send the ship to get them to earth.
Or maybe your product is in mars.
Either way you need to find a path to get them to come to you and sometimes you have to go to them. I.E lower price, more service, add ons, bonuses, etc.

There’s three ways to grow your business.
- Market your current products; OR
- Build something new and innovative; OR
- Acquire another business that has cash flow and absorb it.
Marketing is difficult to ascertain if it will work.
Building something new or innovative may work or it may not work.
These two options will also cost you money. Maybe they will be less money spent than option 3 but you may spend more too.
You also may waste time.
The third option of acquiring a business is buying for lack of a better phrase practically guaranteed cash flow.
A business has a proven track record of historical sales.
Their system works and they proved the model.
There’s not much guessing here.
There are no guarantees in business, but you are buying something that has a method to make money.
That is certainly much more fool-proof than inventing something new or buying ads and hoping it works unless you have a dialed in system of ads. Even in that case, the tide could turn. For instance, running tens of thousands of dollars a month on Facebook may work great for 8 months and then in month 9 and 10 it might not work anymore and there’s not much indication as to why. And you can throw more money at it to see if it will come back, or it could have changed for good.
Buying a business that has had years and years of cash flow is much more stable than guessing how to drive more sales to your business.
This is why Microsoft, Oracle, Apple acquires companies. They know it can be even more costly to put their developers on something and marketers on something that is unproven than it is to buy something proven.
That is why they pay millions and sometimes billions of dollars on software once they reached a certain number of users or sales. They have divisions that look for sale opportunities.
Sometimes the quickest way to grow your business is through acquisition if you are smart about it.

After you have an offer accepted (best practices are through a Letter of Intent LOI), you will enter a due diligence period.
The purpose of due diligence is to really check the numbers are matching what you anticipated, there is synergy, and the business can continue forward with proper systems that are there.
The goal of due diligence is to eliminate surprises. You want to understand those surprises beforehand.
Best practices are for a 7 day to 90 day due diligence window, depending on how soon you want the deal to close and if there is bank financing and other third parties involved.
General guidelines are as follows.
7 Day Due Diligence – All cash deal, small business, extremely great value, Quick Close, Fear Someone Else Might Buy This
14 Day Due Diligence – Typical window for cash deals or cash + earn-out deals, Most of the heavy lifting has been done, now it’s just checking some housekeeping items and making sure it is legitimate
30 Day Close – Typical due diligence periods
45 Day Close – Standard if there is financing involved, and it is a more complex deal
60 Day Close – Typically if there is bank financing involved
90 Day + Close – Larger Mid-Market & Enterprise M&A Deals with institutional financing, real estate transfer, and/or licensing/permits are involved to transfer ownership
If your offer is accepted, you want to have a checklist that you will send to the seller to provide you with documents and other materials so you can do your due diligence.
You will also want to have several meetings to shore up any questions.
Generally, as a rule of thumb, the more you are going to ask for during due diligence, the more of a non-refundable deposit there should be.
Depending on the deal, you are requesting ample time from the seller and their representation during due diligence, whilst possibly holding this off the market from someone else.
There are two aspects to this – the seller is looking for a large sale and needs to walk the buyer through this large purchase like any other product or service being sold with the help of their broker, but the buyer cannot take advantage of this period to poach trade secrets or learn an industry that they are not familiar of.
Time being spent away from their business to focus on why you should buy it, sometimes makes the business suffer slightly, so you want to respect the process. Again, it really depends on the deal and smaller deals don’t necessarily need a deposit, which we can discuss more thoroughly.
If there is any staff in the company that is going to be part of the transition and transfer over with new ownership, you will want to introduce yourself to them and get them acquainted to see if there is a match and a fit.
Remember, depending on the deal, the amount of requests that are legitimate will depend on the deal and typically, price. If you are getting something at a deep discount on an “AS IS” all cash deal, due diligence should be significantly limited. If you are paying the seller’s asking price and putting in some skin in the game with a deposit but the deal is dependent on due diligence matching up, you will have more rope to explore and do physical interactions such as come in to the operation and possibly shadow the owner before close.
Due diligence is not training and transition, however, which you can bake in and negotiate in to the deal, but you will want to have a general understanding of how the business works. Obviously, you should not really be looking to acquire businesses you have limited to no experience in. Hopefully you have knowledge of how to grow this business and run it, but of course, you need to understand how their systems work. The key in any acquisition is sustain and enhance.
You want to be able to provide value immediately and not be behind the eight ball when you take over.
The team at Jarbly can help you get the best deal on an acquisition and guide you to protect yourself, while ensuring we all get the deal done in a smooth fashion.
If you would like to work together, just book a call here. It’s good to have a team guiding you through decisions.

Landing pages are known to convert at better rates than traditional ecommerce stores because they focus on one product.
Stripe popups convert better than add to cart checkout because it is one step instead of multistep / multipage checkout.
Every additional field or page the user goes through, the less likely they are to check out and purchase.
We build disruptive ventures and this is one that has a very high market demand.
810 million websites and 20 billion pages are on WordPress.
And they spend thousands on development.
To have a developer create a landing page for each of their products could cost thousands. Now they can do it with a one time fee.
WordPress dominates the website market with 45.8% of all websites done on WordPress.
WordPress websites are neglected when it comes to funnels and landing pages.
Now, you can be the innovator of that product.

When selling a business you might value something the business buyer does not value as much.
A good example is Accounts Receivables.
You might view A/R as 100% of what’s owed to you. A buyer has a different view on it sometimes and that is why when you sell a business you are better at collecting as much A/R before.
Many sellers I meet actually keep A/R at bay because they think it will make the business more attractive.
Let’s say you have $300,000 in A/R. That’s $300k of cash coming to the business (potentially 100% of it), but the buyer doesn’t view that as $300k in cash as strange as it sounds. Should they value it less? Sure, slightly. They are not wrong in the sense that it is not as valuable as cash sitting in the bank. i.e. You may only have 80%-90% successful collections? Or is it just puffery?
So you really want to actually bring that business in Now as opposed to saving up A/r dangling it as a carrot for the buyer.
Not only does it go in your pocket which may help you reduce the sales price slightly because of that, but this boosts the revenue and cash flow YTD and it also shows the health of the business that you are cash flowing now.
Dangling the carrot isn’t always the best methodology because how the buyer processes subconsciously without ever speaking it is – is the a/r for jobs already completed or work that needs to be done? What are the expenses you have in the next 90-120 days because that a/r is not all profit generally.
Valuing A/R is tricky for these reasons.
You are better off collecting all that money now and having less A/R than the other way around.
If collecting now is not a possibility, then we show you how to carve A/R out from the deal, if feasible logistically and legally.
We teach you all kinds of tricks like this when you list with us.

I have been a consultant to many folks for over a decade now.
We have worked with a lot of folks bringing ventures, products, and business ideas to fruition.
Let me give you an example.
We created a proprietary protein supplement.
This may seem like it’s tough or reserved solely for big manufacturing brands, but you can be creating products like this for your brand as additional revenue streams.
This was a proprietary blend of isolate whey protein (Think Isopure) Plus Sweet Potato as the carb source (instead of the high sugar or high glycemic index carbs in most shakes) and a lot of additional ingredients and blends in there to help with recovery. it was an expensive formulation but one of the highest quality products on the market.
The process begins with formulation development, product sourcing, design development, label creation, and then moving to manufacturing/development and eventually bottling and stocking. Ultimately, we finish with moving to promotional materials and advertising the product.
My company has the ability to guide you through this entire process and create everything for you. Whether it’s this type of product or in another industry.
Let’s work together to create some products for your business.
Book me for a full 2 day immersion where I come out to you and travel out to your location of choice and we work together on your business.
This is a deep dive experience of two back-to-back 15 hour days of intense business consulting.
