In this episode, we dive into the pros and cons of buying a business versus starting one from scratch. I share my own unconventional journey to business ownership, recounting how unmet promises at my job led me to explore acquiring my own business. I offer insights on leveraging mastermind groups, the importance of having all the financial and contractual information, and the emotional aspects of business decisions. We discuss the nuances of buying standalone businesses compared to franchises, and I explain how I transitioned from an employee to the owner of a successful IT recruiting company, and later started a mastermind group. Whether you are contemplating starting a business or buying one, this episode provides valuable tips to make informed decisions.
