KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Reflection after the intense training is essential. You must find time to work through what you have learned and verbalise it for yourself in order to get the best from the many lessons.
• Installing an effective, proven management team in your newly acquired business will allow you to work on acquiring more, and provide either a sense of continuity where needed, or a fresh start.
• One of the challenges in acquisition is that you are sometimes blessed with too many opportunities. The temptation can be to follow them all, but we must use our filter at all times.
• As a founder, your vision is everything and you buy into it, never sure of how much other people buy into it, too. But by allowing our management teams to access the freedom to create their own paths, we not only set them free, but allow our visions to coalesce, empowering and energising them.

BEST MOMENTS

'The biggest lesson for those who have managed to do subsequent deals is to develop the discipline to keep themselves out of it'

‘If you find good people, set them free'

‘I was trying to be a lot more strategic in my approach'

'You may have to have a couple of awkward conversations, but if you have that level of rapport, you can help to see it through'
