Highly recommend

I wasn’t sure what to expect when I picked up Buying Online Businesses the Warren Buffett Way, but I ended up really enjoying it. The author takes Buffett’s investing ideas and shows how they can apply to buying online businesses, which felt super refreshing compared to the usual stock market talk.

Great Tips

One part of this audiobook that really stuck with me was the section about spotting durable moats when considering online businesses. I have always known he likes stocks with Moats. The author breaks down how to apply Warren Buffett’s classic rules to find businesses like that made me realize I’d been missing some obvious signs in my own browsing. The checklist he shared in the audiobook caused me to revisit old sites I’d dismissed and see if they had hidden strengths I hadn’t noticed before. I also really enjoyed the narrator’s voice and tone. I will need to listen to this again because im sure I missed a few things.

This will help me avoid mistakes

I’ve been interested in buying an online business for quite some time now. I’ve been worried about making critical mistakes and this book will help me approach it in a smart way.

very great job practical guide

I especially loved learning how to identify online businesses this book is a must-read. It’s the kind of guide that can truly shift your financial future

Buying Online Businesses the Warren Buffett Way

Interesting how this book doesn’t talk about to have Warren Buffett to buy a business, it talks about his mindset and how to stall small and be patience and slowly build up. One chapter got my attention is the one why private online business beat wall street, interesting. The other chapter is the bone where the deals are. This book has a lot of information of how to acquire one business on the time and get progress, the author presented by his own experience, good. Also the narrator and audio are high quality and easy to follow.

Excellent information

I have been wanting to start investing and this audiobook had lots of great information. It makes value investing feel accessible, even if you’re starting with limited funds. I liked how it applyied Buffett’s timeless principles to the world of online businesses. Highly recommend to anyone curious about creating long-term income streams through smart investing.

Think Like an Owner!

Kim's book is highly practical, naming websites leading their fields for verifying assets and structuring sales. I appreciate the list of questions he provided for Zoom calls with owners. His bonus acquisition due diligence checklist pulls his ideas all together. He definitely warned about Google updates and Amazon algorithm changes impacting purchases. Since I'm a Warren Buffet fan, I appreciated Kim's use of Buffet quotes. I did find some of his advice repetitive, appearing in multiple chapters with almost the same wording (diversify, check length of website or sales records...). But I'm very glad I picked this book and plan to listen again. It's worth your time.

Confidant - Motivating

I’ve run a few businesses already but never knew how to even start with buying one. This book made it feel doable. It breaks down how to look for online businesses worth buying and what steps to take after.

The checklists and examples really helped me picture the process. It felt practical and not too technical. Every chapter gave me a bit more confidence.

In fact it gave me that “why not me?” feeling

impressive reecommendations!

Surprisingly solid! This one takes the whole Warren Buffett value-investing mindset and plugs it right into the world of buying small online businesses—something I didn’t even realize could fit so cleanly. The author breaks things down in plain language, no fluff, just real strategy with examples that make sense even if you’re not a finance nerd. The due-diligence checklists and “margin of safety” parts were gold.

If you’ve ever thought “I wish I could invest like Buffett but I’m broke,” this makes it feel doable. I listened to it while recovering at the hospital—great pacing, easy to follow, and motivating as hell. Not perfect, but definitely worth it.

a no brainer resource!

This book is phenomenal and incredibly helpful. Going into this, I was hoping for some information to learn about what it might take to fire sell a business. I thought maybe I would consider buying in the future or perhaps selling a business I had already started, and I wanted to understand what that might entail and how to set up for success.

I would say that I got a lot more than I was hoping for with this book. Not only is it clear and easy to understand, but it also provides a reliable process and incredibly helpful, detailed things to look for to save you a boatload of time, money, hassle, effort, and mistakes.

This book is a no-brainer, whether you're thinking of buying or selling a business. I really like how the author thinks and how generous they have been with sharing everything they have learned to make this process approachable for someone who is truly looking to buy a business and have it be a sustainable investment and learning experience.

Not only does it cover the process of doing your due diligence and potentially buying a business, but this book also covers the sale process. It explains how to set yourself up for success after the sale and even things to consider legally, as well as long-term strategies. It discusses how long to hold on to the business and how you can run it for maximum sustainability, profitability, and more.
