Key Takeaways:
Roland started out in real estate and buying properties with nothing down with seller financing (such as a land contract). He then wondered whether the same strategies could work with buying companies where you could acquire the company with seller financing terms and use the company’s revenue to pay for itself.
Always Look For The Leverage Points:
Roland always looks for the leverage points in reaching the desired outcome even faster. Examples: Instead of going after real estate clients one by one, he partnered with developers who had multiple listings.
Some of Roland’s Favorite Business Hacks:
Growing By Acquiring Other Companies:
Roland said he can’t think of a faster way to grow than acquiring another company. Here are the 7 types of companies you can grow by acquiring them:
Your competition
Media (such as a company with eyeballs of your ideal customer, such as a single YouTube channel or other account where they have the audience you want).
Talent or team (like if they had a sales rep network and you need one to grow).
Products
Services
Vertical integration (anyone who is supplying you with goods or services in your supply chain)
Intellectual property – patents, trademarks, copyrights, courses, other IP assets you could benefit from in growing
Even if you don’t want to grow by acquiring another company, you can still form strategic partnerships with companies in each of the above categories to reach your goals faster.

“All of the actual jobs that are on the organizational chart belong to people other than me. That’s something that’s been very important in allowing me to have the time to do the things that I do. That’s probably the #1 hack of all hacks for that.” — Roland Frasier
