Hi Reader,

I hope you're doing well. I'm reaching out with something a little different — and a small ask.

After decades of working in business — buying companies, running them, selling them, and yes, occasionally watching them fail — I finally sat down and wrote it all out.

My book is called Own Your Next Job: How to Buy a Business, Instead of Searching for Work.

It was born from a moment I suspect many people understand: the day the corporate ladder disappeared. For me, that meant being fired as a VP — not for poor performance, but for outperforming everyone else. That moment changed my career completely, and eventually led me to something much better: ownership.

The book is a step-by-step guide to finding, buying, and running a small business — written for professionals who've been sidelined, downsized, or simply decided they're done waiting for someone else to define their future.

This isn't theory. It's real-world, tested experience — including the mistakes I made so you don't have to.

Here's the favour I'd like to ask:

I'm looking for a small group of people I trust, to read the book before the wider launch and leave an honest review on Amazon.

In exchange, I'll send you a complimentary digital copy right away. All I ask is that you read it (or as much as you'd like) and share your genuine thoughts on Amazon within a few weeks.

Reviews from real readers make an enormous difference for a self-published author — and I can think of no better group to start with than the people who've followed my newsletters.

and I'll send your copy straight to your inbox.

Thank you for considering it — and for being someone I wanted to reach out to personally.

Warmly,
Jamie L. Johnston
