Key Quotes from This Episode
- “Just do it. You just got to start with one step and then take step two, and then step three. Every entrepreneur out there has grinded and has been on terrible precipices of loss, ego death, and all kinds of things. The key is to just keep going.” -Mitch McGinley
- “When you buy a business, you want to add value by fixing problems that you’ve identified, improving systems that can improve it, or adding better accountability and rigorous accounting to a business that hasn’t had it previously. All of those things add value. And so then when you go to sell the business, it’s worth more. And that’s where you really get paid.”-Mitch McGinley
