How's it going? Month 2 of the search - making offers

For searchers
Written By Jake Nicholson

In this update video, Ryan is 2-3 months into his search and is speaking with 20-30 business owners per week and has eight deals in the pipeline. He's getting "more comfortable and faster" at thinking through industries and business models. His conversations are also becoming crisper and more dynamic.

I think you can also see an increased level of confidence in this video relative to his 1-month update video, possibly due the fact that he's making offers. He's really feeling the importance of volume in the search.
