Have you considered becoming an investor?
The mindset you need differs significantly from being an operator of the business. One that my guest in this episode, Taha Afshar explores with us.
Taha started his journey working in a family-run tea business to then make the shifts needed to diversify their income. He shares his experiences moving to the world of investments. Where he has now successfully acquired and managed multiple businesses.
Taha delves into the importance of diversification in investment portfolios, the challenges of navigating the acquisition process, and the strategies for managing acquired businesses.
With this approach to investments as a form of diversification Taha has given his family a solid foundation for future growth.
