Okay, everyone! It’s time to pop some champagne!!
I say that because I have some big news! HUGE!
I CLOSED ON MY FIRST BUSINESS THIS WEEK!!
I bet many of you are wondering, “What the heck does that mean?” Well, let me explain.
I am a Mergers & Acquisitions Sales Analyst at The McLain Group, which is super fancy jargon for I help people buy and sell their businesses!
SO, just like buying and selling homes, people hire brokers to sell their businesses! That is where I come in!
I started this role in January and I have learned so incredibly much from the experience as a whole. When I started I got my first listing within about a week. About week 3, we had some serious interest. By about Week 5 we had not one but TWO offers for the same amount for the same company! It was nuts! After our clients accepted an offer the whirlwind began! All in all, this has been about a 4-month process, with each day bringing something different, and people asking questions that I had no idea where to start to answer them.
Like I said it was a complete learning process, but I am so thankful for my boss and all of the guidance that he gave me along the way! Seeing the looks of our client’s and the buyer’s faces made the entire four months truly priceless.
The best part about all of it though? Being able to celebrate it with my friends. My friends have endured the last four months of me stepping out at dinner to take late phone calls, me skipping margarita nights to work late, and even my complaining as I asked the question over and over, “Why do people have jobs if they aren’t going to ever do them?!” LOL
My friends are as good as they come and they made yesterday and celebrating my big girl accomplishment so much more fun! I hope everyone has the privilege to have friends like I do one day because everyone needs some gals to drop everything they have on a Monday to come pop some champagne with you!!
Thanks for tuning into my life update! Let me know what you are celebrating in the comments below! I would love to toast to you!!
