Before you buy a course
Not a course. Not a guru. Live every week.
Before you pay for anyone’s course, sit in on a Wednesday Roundtable for free and see the room for yourself.

Categories, not companies. Every course, guru and community is different, so compare for yourself. The Lab costs nothing to try.
The Wednesday Roundtable
An hour on a Wednesday. No cost, no pitch. Bring the question you are sitting with and hear from people a few steps ahead of you.
Wednesdays at 1pm ET. Cameras on, small group, no replay. You are in the room, not watching one.
Bring the question you are sitting with. We put it to the room, and the answer comes from people who have been where you are.
Owners who went through the search, the close and the first year, and will tell you what it was actually like.
Take what you heard and decide for yourself whether the Lab is your room. If it is not, you spent an hour and nothing else.
You do not need a seat at a roundtable to get going. Two things you can use today, no membership needed.
Search on-market and off-market businesses for sale across the US and build the buy box that keeps your search honest.
Plain guides on buying a business, written by people who have done it, from deciding whether it is right for you to what to read first.
Spend one Wednesday with the Lab before you spend anything on a course. Real deals, real questions, real buyers.
Live on Wednesdays at 1pm ET. Free and open to the public.
