Searching while working full time

by a searcher from Pennsylvania State University

Good morning,
I am new to this community and am curious of success stories of acquiring a business while working full time. I am a solo self-funded searcher and plan to work full time until as close to real close as possible. Wondering if anyone else has taken this path and have any advice.

I've seen more success searching full time. But if your willing to commit it can certainly be done. Send me a DM if you would like to chat further.
