Hi, my cousin went from IB and PE, to running his family's healthcare business that had 4 locations. He did this out of choice. He was in his late 20s at the time, tired of his work, and felt that the next step to run a small business would be a good fit. Not surprisingly, he worked very hard, and with his experience and general high intelligence, revamped a lot of things in the business. Eventually, he found that the work was challenging but not as rewarding as he had hoped for. I spoke to him, as I have bought a few businesses, and grown up in a business family. We came to the conclusion that he didn't have the leverage he was expecting. He was given the authority to do anything he wanted in the business, but the business, even at 4 locations and close to a $1 million EBITDA, still couldn't afford big strategy decisions and certain levers being pulled. After about 18 months of this work, the glamour of running a business faded away, and the unglamorous work, coupled with not having the impact he wanted, eventually drove him back into his finance career. Ofcourse, each person is different, and every situation is different, but this experience I saw him go through would be foundationally true for anyone making a similar transition. Couple things I've seen make a difference: -Most searchers think like mini fund managers during the search, instead of really preparing for business ownership. It's not a stock you're buying, it's a company you will run. Go deep into learning what business ownership actually requires — that's different prep than what finance prepares you for. -Every business comes with a job description for the owner/CEO, and it's different for every business. Make sure the work that business model requires is something you can see yourself doing, and have genuine interest in the industry. The first will set you up to actually succeed as the operator. The latter will give you lasting power to stay engaged in the business over the mid-long term. In my experience, that kind of preparation is what eventually makes the decision clear — whether ownership is right for you, and whether a specific business is the right fit.
