About this episode
The episode discusses the misconception of buying a business as a passive investment and emphasizes the realities of business ownership.
I knew a searcher who was buying a job, but didn't know they were buying a job. Buying a job is a bad thing. You just need to be realistic about what you are actually buying and what your intent is with acquiring a business. Repeat, there is nothing passive about buying a business. If you want a mailbox check, buy dividend-paying stocks or CDs.
