I collaborated with the Acquiring Minds podcast to moderate a panel on the life-changing potential of buying a business as a Black entrepreneur. Bakari Akil, Bruce Vann, and Chris Munn joined me to discuss each of their journeys to buying a business and securing the kind of financial freedom that they always hoped for. In addition to our personal stories of buying businesses, we cover a range of topics that will be helpful and inspiring for anyone working toward the life-changing goal of buying a business.
Learn about:
- The challenges we faced in our searches
- The importance of being authentic and assertive in business
- Our operating experiences as Black business owners
- How we dealt with sellers who want to talk U.S. politics
- Changing your mentality to lead a company effectively
- Unclaimed opportunities for minority businesses
- What inspires and motivates us as business owners
- The limitations of a W2
- The three necessary factors for capitalism to work
I hope you find our panel inspiring and instructive as you travel your own path!
