Why Starting a Business is for Suckers: Life With Mikey Episode 24 with Josh Wilson

Think starting a business is the best path to success? Think again. In this eye-opening episode of Life With Mikey, Mikey Taylor and business acquisition expert Josh Wilson challenge the traditional entrepreneurial mindset. They dive into the numbers that reveal why buying an established business is far more successful than starting from scratch—and share real-world strategies for finding, financing, and scaling businesses without burning out.

From Josh’s journey of pivoting from real estate to thriving in business acquisitions, to Mikey’s hard-earned lessons about risk, reward, and the power of creative deals, this episode is packed with actionable insights. Plus, they touch on COVID’s lasting impact on the market, the rise of private equity, and why most startups are doomed from the start.

If you’ve ever dreamed of owning a business—or wondered why your startup struggles—this conversation will change the way you think about entrepreneurship.
