How to Build a Deal Muscle in 30 Days

Think buying a business is all about waiting for the perfect opportunity to fall in your lap?

Hate to break it to you, but that’s not how the big dogs do it. Seasoned buyers don’t just get lucky — they get moving. Obsessively. And you can too.

In the Contrarian Community, we’re rolling out a 30-Day Deal Review Challenge to whip our members into deal-making shape. But here’s the kicker: even if you’re not in our crew (yet), you can DIY this and level up your game starting today.

Why bother? Because reviewing deals, even if you’re not ready to buy, will:

• Turn you into a deal-sniffing bloodhound
  
  
• Save you from rookie moves down the road that cost $$$
  
  
• Boost your confidence so when the one pops up, you’ll know how to act smart

Here’s your no-fluff, no-excuses guide to running your own deal challenge like a boss:

Week 1: Build Your “Deal Box” (a.k.a. Your Sniff Test)

Know what you want — or spend your life chasing what you don’t.

Before diving into deals, define your “Deal Box.” This is your set of criteria for the type of business you’re looking for — industry, location, size, and deal structure.

(If you want to learn how it works, check out the book!)

📌 Pro Tip: A well-defined Deal Box saves you from wasting precious time on mismatched opportunities.

Week 2: Source 10 Businesses (and Act Like You Mean It)

Search online marketplaces like BizScout or reach out to brokers in your area. The goal isn’t to find perfection; it’s to get reps reviewing actual businesses.

📌 Pro Tip: Practice answering key broker questions like, “What’s your budget?” and “Why are you interested in this type of business?”

Week 3: Crunch the Numbers (Math Is Your Wingman Now)

Choose 2-3 deals that catch your eye and tear them apart. What’s the revenue? Margins? Risks? Run it through a deal calculator. If you don’t have one, Google it (or join the community...). Either way, numbers don’t lie — people do.

📌 Pro Tip: This is where you’ll start spotting patterns — what makes a business attractive and what raises red flags.

Week 4: Review and Share Your Findings (Don’t Be a Hermit)

Write a quick breakdown for each deal: What’s good? What sucks? Would you buy it? Share your review with someone who knows their stuff and get feedback.

📌 Pro Tip: Getting roasted on your review is better than getting burned by a bad deal.

Why You Should Do This Yesterday

Even if you’re not buying today, this process builds muscle memory. It sharpens your skills, builds your confidence, and gets you closer to financial freedom through ownership.

Want the next level?

In our community, we pair this process with exclusive tools, live Q&As with acquisition experts, and a supportive community to push you further.
