Talk with a Failed Seacrhe
I'm a failed searcher. I did a self-funded search for 18 months and had a deal fall apart on the 1-yard line a week before my first kid was born. But I am not here to tell you NOT to do this. I just want you to go in eyes wide open. And I want you to succeed where I did not.
