Here's an interesting way to climb the ladder of
success:
A member of my mastermind in 2023 makes his living by buying successful businesses.
He doesn't build them from scratch. He buys them once they're up and successful.
He knows exactly how to identify such businesses, and he has made himself available to advise our other members who might wish to do likewise.
(We have a member in the process of buying a business right now.)
By doing so, he avoids having to master the various issues that go into starting a business from scratch.
Another way to avoid some of those issues is through franchising -- yes, in a technical sense you would still be opening a business from scratch, but in another sense much of the heavy lifting is already
done for you.
You don't have to worry about "branding," because that's already done. Indeed the product or service itself is already ready to go.
So much of what would have kept you up at night is already locked in.
