Businesses Buying Businesses: Taking Advantage of Mergers

Posted by Jack Garson on April 15, 2011

One of the reasons I wrote, “How to Build a Business and Sell It for Millions,” was that I foresaw a significant increase in the number of  cash-rich companies being purchased by larger companies.  If there is anything that validates my prediction, it’s the AT&T and T-Mobile merger.  AT&T just reached a definitive agreement to purchase T-Mobile in a cash-and-stock transaction valued at approximately $39 billion.  The deal is expected to take up to one year to close and will make AT&T the largest cellular carrier in the U.S.

Why a One Man Show Simply Won't Work

Posted by Jack Garson on February 26, 2010

Over the years I’ve met plenty of great, hardworking business owners, like “Bob”. They start with a vision, put in 14 hours days for decades and build up successful companies. They go to work early and stay late. They personally shake every client’s hand and close every deal. They build their company one meeting at a time and their greatest capital is themselves. They’ve put their blood, sweat and tears into running every aspect of the company. Unfortunately, there is only so much of that owner to go around.
