Hi Reader

I’ll keep this quick.
The business buying landscape just got more competitive—and this newsletter is evolving to keep you ahead.
Here’s the deal:

Buying a business is getting harder.
More competition. More noise. More broker B.S.

Most buyers are flying blind—and it’s costing them deals.

So this newsletter is leveling up.

When I started Freedom Through Acquisition, the mission was clear:

✅ Give you real-world tactics to buy smarter
✅ Help you handle sellers, brokers, and lenders like an insider
✅ Get you to the finish line—faster, cleaner, with less risk

That hasn’t changed. But the game has.

The buyer pool is getting crowded.
Everyone and their neighbor wants to buy a business now.

Most won’t make it.
Some will overpay.
A few will win.

Only the top 2% of buyers will outthink, outmaneuver, and close great deals.

I want you in that 2%.

That’s why this newsletter is getting a new name: Buyers Black Book.

Not just a rebrand. A shift.
More tactical. More psychological. More surgical.

Here’s what’s coming:

✅ Battle-tested playbooks from $200M+ in deals
✅ Seller psychology and broker manipulation decoded
✅ Zero fluff. Just lethal buyer strategy every week

You don’t need to do anything—you’re already on the list.

But if you’re serious about owning a business in this market?
Don’t miss what’s coming next.

Next email drops soon.
It’ll show you exactly how this shift gives you a serious edge.

Stay sharp!
