I buy and operate micro-businesses. Figuring it out in real time.

[Liezl @liezlcayanan]

I got told today from an entrepreneur that buying a business is riskier than building one.

I beg to differ. Buying a business with real cash flow and a proven customer base is far less risky than starting from zero. The risk is in overpaying, not in acquiring.

[Liezl @liezlcayanan]

Starting a business from scratch is romanticized. You spend years proving something exists. Acquiring customers. Buying one means that proof is already done, you just have to not screw it up.

[Liezl @liezlcayanan]

Buying a business is easier than hiring your first employee. Try convincing me otherwise.

[Liezl @liezlcayanan]

People around me ask me how I find the businesses to buy. I think the right question is how do I operate them once I do. Buying one is not the hardest part, steering it, is.

@singlife ooooh no! you guys changed the song in your YouTube ads. I actually enjoyed the previous Grow music ads.

[Liezl @liezlcayanan]

par contre, la pause musique avec Uptown girl, j’ai adoré 20 secondes. Inutile de mettre toute la chanson.

connected on SFFxSWITCH 2020 — as much as I appreciate the quality of the speakers, using MS Teams to host this event is not extremely convenient... @sgfintechfest
