I highly recommend anyone to go and learn from him as he’s a phenomenal teacher!
“ I first saw Russell on youtube, and although a bit skeptical in the beginning, I still went ahead and bought his course; I am so happy i did because he is a phenomenal teacher who keeps things simple and easy to understand; especially because he’s a qualified accountant he makes accounting easy. Throughout the course I learned how to go and buy a business through seller financing (which is something i looked to learn for a long time) but he also teaches other ways to acquire a business: he’s very knowledgeable with skin in the game. Not only is the course great, he’s also very fast and clear when he answered all the questions i had after i enquired a business i wanted to buy. Russell’s support is unmatched.Overall I’m grateful Russell created the course and very happy i bought it because it gave me the confidence to go and apply all his teaching in real life: I highly recommend anyone to go and learn from him as he’s a phenomenal teacher.” Sho – UK
