Why dedicate an entire book to the nuanced art of business acquisition without the traditional fiscal entry barrier, especially when conventional wisdom dictates that money begets money? Because I firmly believe in the immense, often untapped potential that lies dormant in vast numbers of aspiring entrepreneurs.
