Josh Tolley – Acquisition Entrepreneur and Author of Acquisitional Wealth: The Fastest, Most Proven Way to Create Life-Changing Prosperity
If you want to buy a business, take whatever you have and multiply that by
10. That’s the size of business that you can afford. Divide that number by
three and that’s typically is what that business is going to kick off to owner
benefit. If you have $100,000, that’s $1,000,000 business that will typically
kick back $300 or $350,000 dollars a year.

The first couple of attempts failed but by the time he reached his early twenties, he started getting the hang of the business world. Having forgone the typical college education in order to build his businesses Josh started getting noticed for his unique skill set. By the early 2000’s he was being asked to speak and write on topics including business and politics. In 2010 he wrote his first book; Quit Your Job or Die.

Barbara B. Richter – Founder of DIYBook and In Ink Ghostwriting
DIYBook grew out of a need I found with the ghost-writing side. People
would call and say, ‘I want a book,’ but they could not afford a quality
ghost-writing service. I would turn away people with great stories, and
that’s where DIYBook was born, for people with great stories but limited budgets.
Barbara B. Richter is an accomplished author, public speaker, French-to-English translator, and founder of DIYBook and In Ink Ghostwriting. Raised in a home steeped in books and greatly influenced by her father, an award-winning editor and National Book Award finalist, Barbara’s upbringing richly nurtured her literary heritage and profoundly honed her critical thinking skills.
