Why Buying a Business in 2025 Beats Building From Scratch

"Building nearly broke me. Buying made me rich."

Most founder says this...

Everyone loves the underdog story.

The lone founder with a dream and a laptop.

Grinding late nights. Chasing product-market fit.

But here’s what no one tells you:

That path is slow, painful, and often unnecessary in 2025.

The Truth No One Tells You About Building

Every founder romanticizes the early grind.

The late nights, the ramen, the hustle.

But here’s what it actually looked like for me:

↘ Constantly reinventing the wheel

↘ Worrying about where the next sale was coming from

↘ Hiring out of panic, not process

↘ Juggling product, sales, ops — with no time to think

I wasn't building a business.

I was surviving one.

The Day Everything Changed

I was at a founder event in Singapore when I overheard a guy say:

“I don’t build startups anymore. I just buy cash-flowing businesses, fix them, and flip them.”

That line hit me like a brick.

I pulled him aside, bought him lunch, and grilled him for two hours.

He walked me through the numbers.

The leverage.

The risk profile.

Two months later, I bought my first small business.

An overlooked service company doing $18K/month with zero marketing.

It wasn’t glamorous.

But it had paying customers.

A team.

Processes.

And most importantly: a pulse.
