In this episode, Alejandro Vega breaks down why he walked away from a six-figure tech sales career to buy a concrete coatings company, how he beat out more than 10 other buyers and got in for just 10% down, and what his first two months as an owner have actually looked like.

◼️ Why his wife told him "you're the problem," and how that one conversation finally pushed him out of tech sales
◼️ How he structured a seven-figure deal with a 15% seller note to get in for just 10% down
◼️ The week-one mistake that nearly dried up his leads, and how he caught it before it cost him
◼️ Why he chose concrete coatings over plumbing, HVAC, and even a crime scene cleanup business
◼️ What his first two months actually looked like: installing the floors himself and door-knocking job sites for one-call closes
