As an engineer, developer or other IT professional, are you sick of meetings and managers? And you dream of starting your own business so you can escape your cubicle?

Michael Frew has a unique perspective - after 18 years working as an engineer and architect for top tech companies, he made a big shift to acquire online businesses instead of starting them.

In this interview, he shares why IT professionals may be better suited to buy (instead of start) an online business, and takes us through his 8-step framework to find, finance and acquire successful online companies.

We also talked about:

  • Why it can be hard for IT professionals to make a career change due to "golden handcuffs"
  • Tips for building relationships with sellers when acquiring a business
  • How to finance an online business acquisition
  • Managing teams when transitioning from employee to business owner
  • Key steps in the online business acquisition framework
