A business parable about how to create a start-up that won't trap you when you want to sell it. According to John Warrillow, the number one mistake entrepreneurs make is to build a business that relies too heavily on them. Thus, when the time comes to sell, buyers aren't confident that the company-even if it's profitable-can stand on its own. To illustrate this, Warrillow introduces us to a fictional small business owner named Alex who is struggling to sell his advertising agency.

Disappointing
Having been involved in a number of M&A deals, my expectations weren’t high, yet I was still disappointed. I thought perhaps there would be something new to learn about creative financing - given the “without risking your own money” pitch. Or perhaps new sources of deal flow for SME’s on the buy and sell side. There was little or none of that. There were no reviews available prior to my purchase, so I guess I took one for the team. At least it was short.
From the perspective of novice dealmakers, on the other hand, be warned! M&A, as presented here, is oversimplified in many instances. Dealmaking is much more complex than presented here! Do not try this at home. It turns out though, that the book is a prelude to a dealmaking network for novice investors. So, there’s that.
That said, I give the author/narrator kudos for his obvious enthusiasm, energy, and passion for, and previous success in dealmaking.

Some useful info, but just a lot of hype to get you to join his club
Many topics/advise are repeated throughout the book. Doesn’t go into depth about each topic. Very shallow, and mostly a lot of hype. At the end he spends about 15 telling you why you should join his group.

This Book is a Sales Pitch to Jonathan's Seminars
I couldn't wait for the book to end as I kept waiting to hear any substantial ideas or technical matters. The author does not present any notable ideas nor methods. He acts and talks like the TV's Home Shopping Network's salesman.
He keeps repeating ideas and adds words just to fill the space. The book is basically bulls**t.
What's worse is that the last ten minutes of the book are a full advertisement to the author's seminar.
I am disappointed that such a book is sold on Audible.

Don't waste your money
This book is very basic, as others have said. If you are new to the topic of business buying/M&A, this is not the book for you - M&A is a complex subject and should not be over-simplified as the author has tried to do here.
