Walker Deibel – Buy Then Build Six Months to CEO
The New Approach: Acquisition Entrepreneurship
Learn how to approach new businesses in the smartest possible way – using the same strategy that helped that 22 year kids use to go from broke to owning 5 hotels and 7 apartment complexes. And the same approach that I’ve used to acquire 7 businesses and generate 100x as much income in the exact same amount of time it took my first startup to start, grow, then die.
This program is for:
Your First Venture
So you want to start your first business. You’ve been bitten by the business bug, and now it’s time to learn, and fast! If you want to build the entire business infrastructure from scratch, then close this tab right now, and go ahead and start pulling out your fingernails. Or better, acquire a business with all the infrastructure already rocking, and begin by doing the fun stuff – scaling up a business that you know actually works, from 6 figures to 7 figures, and beyond.
Experienced Entrepreneur
You’ve already built a business or two (or ten). Maybe they succeeded, or maybe some failed. You know how most of it works, and you want to make sure you maximize your impact with your next project. I’m here to show you how you can take your resources and skillsets and, instead of linearly grinding out growth, generate 10x, exponential growth. The best part? It’s a formula that you can use again and again, stopping the growth only when you feel like it!
Business Moguls/Empires
You’re influential. You have a portfolio of investments and businesses. Your dinner reservation next Tuesday is with your state senator, and after that you’ll throw bags of money out your window as you drive down the street in your hot red lamborghini (ok ok, maybe not that last part – but a guy can dream, right?) I will show you how you can acquire entire channels of distribution, expand into complimentary product lines, and absorb entire databases of customers, so these rising tides lift all your boats – or in this case, yachts 🙂

Walker Deibel
Changing the world, one successful business at a time
A successful business is a truly unique vehicle for driving forward everything from industry innovation, to societal change, to positively influencing individual’s lives. We need to look no further than companies like Google, Zappos, Amazon, or the millions of smaller businesses that you may not have ever heard about, but which are game changers nonetheless. You have a vision for the future that you want to create, and your business is your method for delivering it (although never same-date delivery). The major caveat? You cannot drive the change you wish to see if you haven’t slept or paid yourself a salary for the past 5 years. And if after those 5 years, the markets shift, or a couple small variable change, and you go from barely scraping by, to completely out of business, you not only won’t be able to change the world, you might even be so disheartened that you might be scared out of giving entrepreneurship another go! My mission in life, is to help people like yourself fully maximize their entrepreneurial potential, and never have to face those kinds of dark days. Trust me, I’ve been there (with my first startup) and it seriously sucks. So let’s make a covenant with each other. Right here and right now. I commit to bringing you the best content that I possibly can on the topic of acquisition entrepreneurship, and providing to you every tool, resource, tactic, template, strategy,
and form of support that I can to help ensure you are successful, and all you have to do…is commit to using all this valuable material, to the best of your ability! Do we have a deal? If so, I encourage you open a new tab, typing in gmail.com (or the equivalent) and sending me an email at my personal gmail address (buythenbuild at gmail.com) with the following:
Subject: My AE commitment
Body: Dearest Walker,
I commit to completing this course, including watching all the video lessons, and completing all the exercises, by [insert the date which is 2 months from today] so that I can achieve [these life goals] [Add any questions here if you have them as well!] Thank you for your help, Your NAME
When I get your email, I will make a note to follow up with you 1 month from today, to check in on your progress, and then 2 months from today, to make sure that you’ve finished and have not gotten stuck. Here’s to your next successful venture!
