Hello Friends!
In this first issue of 2023, I want to wish you and your family a great new year full of happiness, health, and success.
For me, it’s been a very exciting year personally and professionally. My M&A due diligence marketplace - DueDilio - continues to grow. In 2022 we’ve helped over 130 business buyers to source and hire highly vetted due diligence service providers.
In personal news, in October my wife and I made the move from Boston to Miami and have been enjoying the change of scenery and lifestyle. We even grabbed dinner with two newsletter subscribers in the Miami area who were extremely welcoming.
The Business Inquirer continues to add subscribers. I launched this newsletter in November 2020 with the first issue going out to 88 subscribers. We’re now over 2,100 readers who have subscribed through word of mouth and other organic channels.
In 2022, I published 98 issues of the newsletter. The average open rate was 50% and ranged from 44% to 55% for individual issues.
As you’ve noticed, I’ve struggled with consistently publishing the Tuesday edition of the newsletter. It’s the one that takes me the longest to research and write. I am hoping to return to a more consistent publishing schedule but I do want to be transparent and set expectations - there will be weeks when it doesn’t go out.
As we enter 2023…
I am actively thinking of the next steps for this newsletter. It needs to grow, evolve, and add even more value to subscribers. I have a lot of ideas but finding less and less free time to execute them. Frankly, this is something that I have struggled with the past year. This newsletter has remained a hobby while DueDilio has morphed into a growing business. I’ve been forced to allocate my time and resources accordingly. One of my goals for this upcoming year is to increase my efficiency and personal productivity. I have a lot of plans for this newsletter and 2023 is the year to execute them.
