How far can $100,000 really take you in business acquisitions? One deal?A small portfolio?Or a scalable acquisition machine? In this episode, Jaryd Krause sits down with SBA Business Development Officer Glenn Giro to break down the real math behind buying businesses with SBA financing, and why there’s technically no cap on how many businesses you can acquire, as long as you understand the rules that actually stop most buyers. They unpack how entrepreneurs are using up to 90% SBA financing, long 10-year terms, and no prepayment penalties to build portfolios most people assume are out of reach. You’ll discover: How $100,000 in cash can unlock a $1M+ acquisition The $5M SBA cap per NAICS code and how it impacts serial buyers Why banks love SBA loans (and why that matters to you) The real fees lenders don’t explain upfront How cash flow and debt service coverage are actually calculated What changes when you go from your first deal to your second, third, or fifth When 100% financing is possible and when it’s not Why do some high-multiple digital businesses get rejected The timeline lenders expect before approving your next acquisition If you’re serious about buying your first digital business or turning one deal into a portfolio of cash-flowing assets, this episode will completely reframe how you think about capital, leverage, and scale. Watch the full video to see the numbers, strategies, and acquisition pathways most buyers never learn about. Episode Highlights 02:55 – Why a “simple” 10% down payment can still kill your SBA deal if you don’t understand total project costs. 05:08 – The harsh truth: why $100K is often not enough to safely buy a $1M business. 10:52 – How SBA’s 75% loan guarantee unlocks 90% financing—and why banks are eager to lend. 12:57 – The hidden cost most buyers miss: $20K–$30K in SBA fees on a $1M acquisition. 15:16 – The real reason most buyers can’t buy a second business right after their first. 23:59 – The quiet rule that caps portfolios at $5M per NAICS code—and how it blocks long-term scaling. Key Takeaways ➥ SBA financing allows buyers to acquire businesses with as little as 10% down, but cash reserves and liquidity matter more than purchase price alone. ➥ The SBA’s 75% government guarantee reduces bank risk and unlocks long-term, high-leverage financing for profitable online businesses. ➥ Seller financing can help bridge equity gaps, but new rules requiring 10-year standby make it rare in competitive acquisitions. ➥ Most buyers need 6–12 months of successful operations before qualifying for a second SBA-backed acquisition—proof of execution accelerates approvals. ➥ Each business must support its own debt service; strong cash flow in one acquisition won’t compensate for a weak second deal. ➥ NAICS code limits quietly shape acquisition strategy—buyers who plan ahead can scale portfolios faster and avoid unexpected financing caps. About Glenn Giro Glenn Giro is a seasoned SBA business development officer and acquisition financing expert who helps entrepreneurs buy and grow businesses using strategic SBA-backed loans. He hosts “SBA University,” a training series for business owners and aspiring acquirers, and regularly speaks about acquisition financing and business ownership strategies.

If you're constantly eyeing the next certification, tool, platform, or healing modality instead of actually making money and serving clients, this episode is your loving but firm wake-up call.In this episode of Unjaded, Vickie Dickson calls out the shiny-object cycle that keeps entrepreneurs busy, overwhelmed, and stuck — and walks you through what actually matters if you want a sustainable business in 2026 and beyond.This isn't about doing more. It's about building the skeleton of your business: the foundational systems that hold your offers, your clients, and your income — so you can stop spinning and start leading.Vickie breaks down the most common distractions entrepreneurs use to delay visibility and responsibility, and contrasts them with the few core elements every business actually needs to function, grow, and make money consistently.If you've been “preparing” for years but not seeing the results you want, this episode will bring clarity — and probably some relief.What You'll Learn in This Episode:Why certifications, modalities, and frameworks often become permission slips to avoid leadershipHow rebranding, renaming, and platform hopping quietly stall your business growthThe difference between being busy and building something that lastsWhy constantly creating new offers is often a sign your foundation is missingWhat actually belongs in the “skeleton” of a sustainable online businessWhy one clear offer matters more than a complicated offer suiteHow email, payment systems, and calendars create ease for you and your clientsWhy making regular offers is non-negotiable if you want consistent incomeHow choosing one primary platform can simplify your marketing and increase salesA real example of how a simple, aligned offer brought in revenue without a launchKey Takeaway:You don't need another certification, platform, or healing breakthrough. You need a solid foundation. When your business has a clear offer, simple systems, and a place for people to find and pay you, everything else becomes optional — not urgent.Links and Resources:

When was the last time you got yelled at by online influencer? Probably five minutes ago? Maybe, like us, you're tired of business advice that feels more like a pep rally than a real lesson. So why do so many online business gurus shout louder than they teach? And what you should actually pay attention to when building your business? This lesson is all about cutting through the noise.Omar breaks down why the world of online business gurus is full of extreme takes and empty promises, and what you need to focus on instead. You'll learn why attention and certainty drive so much of the content out there, why most “one‑size‑fits‑all” advice is just performance, and how to filter the real, actionable fundamentals from all the hype. He also shares what makes a true teacher versus a performer, the importance of asking better questions, and why success is more about steady progress than quick wins.Smash, no wait.

In this episode, I invite my fellow mom-entrepreneurs to embrace the power of owning your decisions, especially during the busy holiday season. Through my own stories—like choosing comfort with yoga pants at an event or taking a break from business to prioritize family—I show how simple, intentional choices can bring more presence and less stress.I encourage letting go of guilt and the heavy burden of societal “shoulds,” reminding you that saying no or stepping back doesn't diminish your worth as a business owner or a mom. I candidly share how I navigate external judgments and internal pressures, and remind you that it's always okay to re-decide and shift direction as your priorities change. By reflecting on budgeting and redefining holiday traditions, my hope is to inspire you to align your decisions with your values and confidently do what works best for your family and your business.This episode is a heartfelt reminder to simplify, trust your choices, and show up authentically in both your work and your home.  Free Resources:Join 30 Day Calendar Blocking Blueprint and finally feel in control. ​Click here to join the next round. ​Are you a business owner making $100,000+ and still wearing all the hats? ​Click here​ to learn about my upcoming 12-week Outsourcing Mastermind.Are you an aspiring or newer business owner who needs some accountability and clarity on the next steps? ​Click here​ to join my 6-month accountability group - Simplify.

In this episode of Business Not As Usual, Megan sits down with Kwadwo (pronounced QUĀY-jo), host of the Art of Online Business podcast, to break down one of the most misunderstood growth decisions in online business: when your business should start using Meta ads, and when it actually makes sense to hire an ads manager versus running ads yourself. This conversation is refreshingly honest and grounded. Rather than selling ads as a magic solution, Kwadwo explains why ads don't fix broken offers, why more eyeballs on the wrong funnel usually lead to frustration (not revenue), and how organic sales are the clearest signal that paid traffic will work. If you've ever felt tempted to "just throw money at ads" because you're tired or stuck, this episode will help you slow down and make a smarter decision. Kwadwo also walks through what he calls his Olympic Gold Medal Testing Framework: a practical way to lower Facebook and Instagram ad lead costs by treating ads like ongoing experiments, not all-or-nothing bets. He shares how to test conservatively, adapt to changes like Meta's Andromeda update, and protect your nervous system (and your cash) while still scaling sustainably. You'll also hear a nuanced discussion about money, pressure, and leadership, including why saving cash creates more freedom than most online business conversations admit, how knowing your profit per lead changes everything, and why no ethical ads manager should ever guarantee results. Whether you've never run ads, have had a bad experience in the past, or are right on the edge of scaling again, this episode will help you make decisions from clarity instead of urgency. Special Moments from the Episode "Jesus saves. Meta ads do not." — why ads amplify what's already working (or broken) The clearest sign your business is ready for Meta ads (and why income alone isn't enough) Kwadwo's profit-per-lead math for deciding DIY ads vs hiring an ads manager Why lead magnet ads + launch ads beat "brand-building ads" early on How to think about the Meta Andromeda update without panic or overreacting A candid conversation about saving money, runway, and freedom most online spaces avoid Kwadwo's Links: →48 Hour Ad-Fix Audit (get $20 off!): https://quayjo.thrivecart.com/audit/?coupon=MEGADS →Listen to The Art of Online Business: https://theartofonlinebusiness.com/aoob-podcast/    Connect with Meg →Discover how to craft a powerful business origin story that sets you apart, builds trust, and inspires clients to work with you: https://meganyelaney.com/business-story-blueprint   →Come say hi on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/meganyelaney     

Stop setting random goals that look good on paper and build a plan that actually grows your TPT store. We dig into the quiet reason January resolutions fail for sellers: a lopsided focus on traffic while ignoring conversion and customer retention. Views matter, but without a store that converts and a system that brings buyers back, more clicks just multiply frustration. We break the cycle with a simple, repeatable framework you can use to shape your 2026 profit plan.First, we unpack traffic the right way—seasonal keyword research, standards language teachers actually search, and resource ideas that match real classroom timing. Then we turn to conversion, where the biggest wins often hide: mobile-friendly covers, a thumbnail story that sells outcomes, previews that answer objections in seconds, and pricing that reflects value in your niche. Finally, we show how retention multiplies every effort: thoughtful post-purchase emails, bundle pathways, product ecosystems that build trust, and updates that keep customers engaged across the school year.You'll hear how to read your data to pick a starting point, map tasks to each revenue driver, and avoid the trap of busywork disguised as growth. If you've ever asked why more views aren't leading to more sales, this conversation gives you a practical path forward and a way to plan an entire year with clarity and confidence.

You've created this amazing specialization, you're excited about it, and then it's time to launch. Suddenly your brain starts screaming: "Wait, what if this isn't right? What if nobody wants this? What if I picked wrong?" If you've ever felt paralyzed by doubt right before putting yourself out there, you need to hear this.Here's what's actually happening: your nervous system is taking normal launch nerves and turning them into evidence that you're not ready. But there's a difference between "this is scary and new" versus "this genuinely doesn't align with me." In this episode, I'm breaking down exactly how to tell the difference between nerves and misalignment, why your experience already counts (even without the fancy title), and how to move forward without being paralyzed by the fear of picking wrong.Key Points Covered:✨ Three questions to ask yourself to distinguish between protective fear and actual misalignment✨ Why discounting your experience because you haven't used a specific title yet is keeping you stuck✨ The truth about specialization: it's not a tattoo, and pivoting is strategy, not failure

In this episode, I'm talking to moms who are running a business and a household—and are tired of feeling behind. I share the story of my appendix surgery, when our home felt totally out of control, and how hiring a household helper/babysitter through a local Facebook group changed everything.We'll unpack what a household helper actually does (laundry, errands, tidying, returns, sheets, kid help) and why you don't need to be “bursting at the seams” to justify getting support. You'll hear common signs it's time to get help—like constant resentment, never feeling caught up, or canceling work blocks because the house feels chaotic.We'll also dig into the mindset and money blocks: believing you “should be able to do it all,” feeling guilty for wanting help, or thinking it has to be a huge financial commitment.You'll leave this episode with permission to outsource at home, practical ideas for starting small, and a new way to think about trading a little money for time, capacity, and mental peace.  Free Resources:Join 30 Day Calendar Blocking Blueprint and finally feel in control. ​Click here to join the next round. ​Are you a business owner making $100,000+ and still wearing all the hats? ​Click here​ to learn about my upcoming 12-week Outsourcing Mastermind.Are you an aspiring or newer business owner who needs some accountability and clarity on the next steps? ​Click here​ to join my 6-month accountability group - Simplify.

Wouldn't it be great if someone would just SHOW YOU THE STEPS TO SUCCESS? We'd all like to think that if someone would just lay it all out in clearly defined steps then we could push the right buttons, use the right tools and follow the plan to building a great business online (just like building a lego set, right?)   If you've not figured it out yet, building a business is NOT like building a LEGO set! It's more like taking a leadership journey with surprises around each new bend in the path!
