INTERVIEW | Make Money Through Business Acquisitions with Saul Cohen

from Travis Makes Money · host Travis Chappell

Saul Cohen is an accountant, acquisitions advisor, and entrepreneur who helps business owners scale, optimize, and successfully exit their companies. With experience at PwC and years of advising founders on tax planning, acquisitions, and valuations, Saul has developed a practical framework for helping entrepreneurs build long-term wealth. In this episode, he shares lessons from his own entrepreneurial journey, why execution matters more than ideas, and how acquisitions can become a powerful wealth-building strategy for business owners. On this episode we talk about: Why execution is more valuable than having a great business idea Lessons learned from building and selling a business while still in university The realities of working at PwC and transitioning into entrepreneurship How tax planning, acquisitions, and business valuations impact long-term wealth Why entrepreneurs should understand acquisitions before preparing for an exit Top 3 Takeaways Ideas are only valuable when paired with execution. Success rarely comes from having the best idea—it comes from consistently executing better than everyone else. Small financial optimizations compound into life-changing results. Even modest tax savings or valuation improvements can create significant wealth over a business owner's lifetime. Understanding acquisitions makes you a better entrepreneur. Whether you're buying, selling, or scaling a business, acquisition knowledge helps increase valuation, create liquidity events, and accelerate growth. Notable Quotes "Your ideas are only as valuable as the execution." "If everyone tried to copy you, they still couldn't do it the way you do it because they're not you." "Small incremental gains can make such a big difference to someone's lifestyle when they finish this game."
