Alright, so I just finished reading a new investment opportunity. The man himself (Brian Watkins) has a page on his site that I find to be honestly interesting and to be quite real, give me a speculative look at whether its best to become a Startup Entrepreneur or acquire businesses.

Brian has on his site a strategy, a very wise one at that and with hard work and determination (along side careful planning and the "team" you need) creates what he has branded the "Wealth Building Algoritm." Now what is so inspiring about this is that he step by step has a blueprint for acquiring businesses and slowly but surely building up to something truly successful.

This has made me begin to diversify myself and made me ask the question: Should I create new startup businesses or start my path to business acquisitions? Now when I say acquiring business, this doesn't necessarily mean to manage and run a business... I will be acquiring it as a financial investor.

So what I want to know is like I posted above, I'd like to hear everyone's input about business acquisitions? Is it smarter to do then funding a new startup business/project. After some careful thinking process, my current goal is to invest in these businesses and acquire them to become my property. Of course, when I say this, I mean as in taking over the business and becoming a parent company, but all management and everything remains the same. This sounds like a more professional and simpler way of running a business.

A difference in obtaining these businesses will be simply that I'll be using my own capital so there won't really be any other "OP Leverage" as Brian puts it (Other People's Leverage) a new term he came up with... hey, thanks Brian

Anyway, enough with the talking and jiber jabbing, I'd like to hear everyone's opinions on the topic: entrepreneur vs. business acquirer.
