"I feel so lucky to have a job where the majority of what I do is to help people," says Justin Sachs, a 20-year-old entrepreneur. Justin started in the personal development industry at the age of 13 when he began attending Anthony Robbins (life coaching) seminars. It was there that he found his true passion in life: helping people. He started a non-profit organization, Peak Performance Lifestyles Foundation, at the age of 16, to help teenagers develop their leadership skills through local community service opportunities.After Peak Performance Lifestyles was underway, Justin wrote his first book, Your Mailbox is Full: Real Teens in the Real World-a guidebook giving teenagers every tool, strategy and principle they need for success in school and throughout life.

The theme is that this formula gives the buyer the ability to cover the debt service for the loan while providing a reasonable return on their equity. If the acquired company performs at least at the same level post acquisition, it is a safe investment.What would cause a buyer to pay a business seller any more than a financial multiple? Buyers certainly do not willingly volunteer to pay more. They must be encouraged to do this and that encouragement generally comes in the form of other interested buyers that also recognize strategic value. What characteristics of a selling company would cause multiple buyers to seemingly over pay for an acquisition?The key is that the selling company has to create potential that can be leveraged by the new owner. Simply by putting the resources, customer base, brand name, sales force, distribution system, manufacturing...more
