Many business-for-sale buyers come from corporate environments, rich with education and colleagues providing opportunities for collaboration and group think.

Often a new small to mid-size business owner, coming from that rich, though flawed, environment, finds themselves lonely with no sounding board.  Further, they have limited opportunities to share what they know with others.

Business Tip:  In most every community there are networking opportunities already.  Join in or create your own.  Find people with similar needs, perhaps creating a mastermind group.
