This sounds like Oprah's quote, a woman can have it all, but not at the same time.

Buying a business as opposed to founding a business/ company seems less appealing, especially if you are doing everything you can to avoid anything that resembles an interview process which is analogous to the vetting process, that said not ruling it out completely... yet

You can never "have it all" you'll die chasing something that is impossible to be achieved. Even if you have the whole of planet Earth you'll die trying to own the universe. This idea is poison. You can never "have or do it all". Whatever that is supposed to mean.

Want to buy a business in 2026? Start now.
Here’s your plan:
Let’s say you start trying to buy a business today, and you close on one next week. I guarantee that deal will make your life 10x worse.
Lots of folks lose money fast because they try to expedite one of these steps.
It’s good to move fast, but it’s better to be intentional and methodical.
Only fools rush in.
You’re no fool (right?).
So use what I call the 3-6-12 framework:
💥 At least 3 months to learn about deal-making:
• The terms. The financials. The roles, responsibilities, and tactics.
• Business-buying is a language. Maybe you know a few words. But you need to be fluent.
• There’s no such thing as a perfect business. Only a perfect business FOR YOU. Figure out exactly what that business looks like before you start looking for it.
💥 At least 6 months to work toward sourcing, negotiating, and securing a deal:
• You could look at 50 business before you submit an LOI for one.
• You could submit 25 LOIs before one is accepted.
• You could perform 10 rounds of due diligence before you find The One.
💥 At least 12 months post-purchase to fully acclimate to the ins and outs of a business:
• The crazy thing about buying a business is… You then own a business.
• Like it or not, it typically takes an entire year to fully integrate yourself and understand it inside out.
Ever heard that Warren Buffett saying?
“You can't produce a baby in 1 month by getting nine women pregnant.”
You CAN have the business you want.
But smart investments take time.
Follow the 3 steps here, but there’s an underrated 1st step before any of this:
Deciding if buying a business is even right for you.
• What kind of business would you buy?
• Why should (or shouldn’t) you?
• What’s business-buying like?
The kicker:
This step only takes 60 minutes.
I’m going over all of it in my live Masterclass (TOMORROW).
