To make real money in business, you don't do it by running a business. You make it by selling a business. This is a capital event. Many thing that the entrepreneur journey runs from start-up to exit. But this is certainly the long way round. Start-up is not always necessary, and there is far less risk involved when you acquire and sell a business that already works. One in ten new businesses actually succeed. Only 1% of start-ups ever make it through to gaining the funding they require. Building a scaling a business that has a customer base and a product that sells, is far easier than beginning at year dot. Acquiring removes uncertainty.BEST MOMENTS
