Hi All,
Any advice on getting past the mental barrier of a deal going south and then you are on the hook for the costs of due diligence? I think thats my biggest worry as I continue down this path of ETA. I remember my internship during my MBA where the searcher had one deal go south and he was on the hook for the due diligence. We ended up rolling it into the next deal, but still....not ideal.
Any suggestions on how you manage this or get past the mental barrier?
