There are many things about acquisition entrepreneurship that I love. Here are just three. Often you have the opportunity to buy a business where the seller is tired or conservative or otherwise resting on their laurels and you can come in as new owner with a new set of eyes. Bring all your vigor and vision and, in the happiest of cases, just grow the business like crazy. Another thing I like: the niche, hiding-in-plain-sight, funky nature of so many of these SMBs that you can buy out there. And lastly, how buying a business can set people on a whole new trajectory, one that is very often more exciting, more fulfilling, and let's not forget, more financially rewarding than whatever they were doing before. Today's guest, Jason Cline, embodies all three of these. Last year at age 50, Jason, with his wife Linda by his side, stepped off the corporate path he'd been on for over 20 years to buy a flower distribution business in Florida. I like distribution businesses and I like flowers. So I was eager to sink my teeth into this one. Hopefully you're eager to hear it. Here is Jason Cline, owner of Kauai Isle Flowers.
