actually doing deals

Not theory. Not a textbook. Written for the owner or buyer staring down a real transaction in the next twelve months.

Looking to purchase a business — a competitor, a supplier, or simply a good opportunity — and want the structure right from day one.
02
Owners Planning an Exit

03
Advisors & Accountants
CPAs, attorneys, and consultants who want a clear, shareable framework to walk clients through before a transaction.

About

Written from
inside real deals

Decisive Success was built around the lessons learned structuring and closing actual acquisitions — not academic theory written from the outside looking in.

These books exist because most of what's written about buying or selling a business is either too vague to use or too technical to finish. This is the version meant to actually get read — and acted on.
