    Determining your Normal Home Mode (Emotional Home)

    Emotional Homes.
    It's not what is the best for us, it's what we're used to.
    "The quality of my life is the quality of my habitual emotions. Our habitual emotions are our emotional homes. It’s what we are conditioned to return to."

    What is the difference between EBITDA vs SDE? (with a cash flow bonus)

    What is the difference between EBITDA vs SDE? (with a cash flow bonus)

    Alright, a question I get often.
    What is the difference between EBITDA vs SDE?
    We dive into a few high-level differences to watch out for when evaluating businesses.
    EBITDA is typically used for larger businesses ($2-3M+ Profit).
    SDE is typically used for smaller businesses.
    BUT neither of those is cash flow.
    A few podcast nuggies:
    - SDE is not Cash Flow
    - Loan payments don't show up on the P&L many times
    - If you take a business with no debt, stack on 80%+ debt, you are fundamentally changing the entire business structure. You are ADDING risk here.
    You can get into trouble if you only take their costs vs WHAT YOUR costs will be.

You’ll hear in the podcast as she illustrates 3 key factors in negotiation allowing her into deals. Della does an excellent job as proof displaying how if you want to buy a business it’s about MAKING the opportunity happen.
