I agree with your point - there is a path in business and in searching that can be modified to suit - just look at SF now, it's a super diverse community where is wasn't a few years ago.

1) Know your own strengths and weaknesses - look to partner with those who are strong in areas in which you are weak. If your target business needs functions that aren’t strengths of yours, then ensure the business has the resources (read money) to hire people who can provide those functions.
2) Growth is much harder than it seems... and much more expensive and it will likely take longer than expected (or desired).
3) This doesn’t apply to all situations, but as a buyer you have way more power in the negotiation than you might think.
4) The less existing ownership is doing in the business, the better, because it means systems are in place to run basic functions.
