In Partnership With Foxwell Founders
Foxwell Founders is a community of some of the smartest marketers and operators in the world! 🧠
I personally am active in that group and often engage with other members whenever I have questions around finance, operations or marketing for businesses I work with.
I’ve been a member for almost over a year now and have gained a tremendous amount of knowledge from 7-9 figure operators in that group.
While I don’t have a discount code, if you’re looking for a deal on a Founders membership, Andrew told me to have you email him directly: [email protected] and because you're on my email list he'll hook you up!
Feel free to email Andrew above and also read more about the Founders membership here

🚀 Growth Opportunities
SEO: Based on the founder’s suggestion there’s a lot of room to increase the current efforts on SEO. Hire an agency to come in and audit the process and see what areas of growth are available.
Paid Ads: Paid search can be a huge opportunity here. Hire experts to step in to audit and run some funnels/offers for new customer acquisition. Can easily bring some scale into this business by leveraging what’s already working.
🚩Cons
Founders: Current founders are looking to split ways, is this due to something that’s happened in the business? I would ask a few questions around this + dependence of them in the business. The team size mentioned is 2-20 so am curious how many are running the day-to-day.
💰 Asking Price: $1,950,000
This is an excellent opportunity to acquire a long-established, profitable residential & commercial garage door retailer & installer.
The owner has reached retirement age and wants to enjoy more leisure time and activities.

🚀 Growth Opportunities
Expand offerings: While the business currently focuses on residential and commercial garage door sales and installation, there may be opportunities to diversify its service offerings. Consider expanding into related areas such as garage door repair, maintenance contracts, smart home integration for garage doors, or offering additional home improvement services
💰 Asking Price: $600,000
Profitable eCommerce brand with $4,431,544 in TTM revenue and $203,849 in TTM profit in the home and garden niche in its 3rd year of operation, selling to Australians.

🚀 Growth Opportunities
Inventory: Moving from dropshipping to holding inventory can significantly improve net margins and operational efficiency. By stocking popular products in-house, the business can reduce fulfillment times, maintain better control over product quality, and offer faster shipping to customers. This shift can also lead to cost savings in the long run by eliminating dropshipping fees and bulk purchasing discounts.

🤌🏼 Thread Of The Week
Something that’s not often talked about in the space of being self-employed is actually your healthcare costs.
Clint drops an amazing thread and is quite transparent on his costs and what’s required when having a family and running your own business.
How I do healthcare costs for my family of 6 as a self-employed small business man. 👇
This is such a difficult topic.
Our country's system is jacked-up and I'm not trying to fix it with this post. I'm just sharing how I navigate this stuff.
