Let's take a look at why you might want to buy a business vs build one. I've done both. I've exited a company I built from scratch. I lost a lot of hair, but ultimately did get a decent pay day. I am now personally funneling my winnings back into XO because I feel that, particularly in this inflationary economic environment, this is the best place I can allocate capital. At XO, we've bought 6  XO, and sold 2 so far.
