In this special episode of Business Buying Strategies, Jonathan Jay pulls back the curtain on a pivotal moment in every dealmaker's journey — the point where you stop watching from the sidelines and take real, tangible action.

And if you've been listening to the podcast for a while but still haven't bought your first business, this episode might just change everything.

Here's what you'll discover:

✅ The biggest mindset shift that separates action-takers from "armchair" dealmakers
✅ Why trying to piece together internet advice is like cooking with three celebrity chefs — and why it doesn't work
✅ The real reason sending letters to business owners is outdated (and what to do instead)
✅ Why getting stuck in the deal sourcing phase is costing you time, energy, and opportunities
✅ How one dealmaker added £9M in turnover and £1.4M in profit — in just 7 months
✅ The hidden power of vendor finance (and how it can benefit both buyer and seller)
✅ Why buying a business transforms you — not just your income

You'll also hear inspiring real-life stories from past Mastermind clients — including:

A primary school teacher turned £9M dealmaker
A beautician who went from £180K to a 7-salon, £2M business group
A dealmaker who earned £300K upfront on day one — without spending his own money

Plus, Jonathan reveals a limited-time opportunity to attend the 3-day Foundation Programme in December — live and in person — for just £1.

This is more than a podcast episode. It's your personal invitation to go from listener to action-taker… to business buyer.
