Anyone have advice or resources for folks who are just starting out? Looking for the "if I were to do it all over again" advice from those that have experience.

As an entrepreneur for 40+ years - the best advice I can give you is to create solid systems right from the beginning. I coached business owners and founders for decades and that is what I helped (and still help) clients with. Yes, you want to know your 'why,' and know your target audience and realize that you will work longer hours than you every thought you would - but it will feel perfectly natural and wonderful if you have systems in place to do some of the heavy lifting to help you be more productive as you launch and eventually scale. Good luck!

Hi Anon, honestly, if you are just starting out, you could do a lot worse than just spending time reading the posts and comments here. There is a wealth of knowledge on this platform. Then, when you have specific questions, ask the community. Good luck with your search! And if you ever want to discuss the legal side of buying a business, hit me up at redacted
