Month 3: Momentum Building, First Offers, and Narrowing the Field

Three months ago, a single calendar invite ended my corporate career. Today I’m sitting on my porch watching the sunrise with actual business opportunities in front of me. The shift feels real — and exciting.

After the clarity I gained in Month 2, I moved from research mode into active pursuit. I’ve reviewed over 45 business listings, signed NDAs, received full Confidential Information Memorandums (CIMs), and submitted my first Letter of Intent (LOI). Momentum is finally building.

Resources That Helped Me Narrow the Field

BizBuySell.com and BusinessesForSale.com — my daily starting points
Direct outreach to experienced business brokers
A simple one-page “Ideal Business Profile” spreadsheet
Conversations with friends who had used ROBS

Key Lessons from Month 3

A clear “Ideal Business Profile” saves weeks of wasted time.
Talking to real people is more valuable than reading alone.
Momentum compounds — small daily actions add up fast.
It’s okay to feel scared and hopeful at the same time.

You’re not alone. Whether you’re just starting or months into your own journey — I see you.
